as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean

1: Flint asks, "You see me as the villain here?"

2: Max says, "My God, how I hated you."

3: Silver, with a look of realization on his face, says, "It bothers you, doesn't it?"

4: Eleanor looks at Max with a guarded, wary expression.

5: Flint looks vulnerable as Silver says, "What they think?"

6: Max says, "There was a time in which I could not conceive"

7: Silver says, "With the things you've done..."

8: Max says, "of how I could ever forgive you."

9: Silver says, "It must be awful being you."

10: Max says, "And in this moment, I am you."

Parley!

I love not having scurvy 👍

got scurvy 👎

Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake… the Kraken!

Pirates, traditionally, went to the Caribbean by leaving the west coast of England and the west coast of Ireland. I am fortunate that my father had an Irish accent, quite a strong Irish accent, and my mother came from the port of Bristol, which is where pirates - and Liverpool as well, but pirates mainly came from Bristol, and her accent was a Bristol accent, which is sort of like that, and so I thought, if I sort of did an impersonation of my dad and my mom, then I’d sort of sound quite piratey. … 

I must tell you something funny - when we read the read-through of the first movie, I had the first line of the film, and so I said - the little girl was singing, “Yo, ho, yo ho,” and I said, “Quiet, missy. Cursed pirates are sailing these waters,” and Geoffrey Rush looked over at me, aghast, and went, “That’s exactly the accent I was gonna do.” But, as we didn’t meet in the first film, it didn’t matter. 

The shit really hit the fan in #3, when he had to say to me, something like, [in the accent] “Ah, the green flash, have you ever seen the green flash, Mr. Gibbs?” and I said, [in the accent] “Yes, I think I’ve seen my fair share,” and he said, “We’ve gotta stop this.” He said, “Somebody’s always got to speak in between us, so that the audience don’t realize we’re doing exactly the same performance.”

So he said to me, “What can I do if anybody ever spots this?” 

To this day I have never been able to recreate it. It was like this magic sound that happened. I had the mics on and I was right in front of it and the weather was right, it wasn’t too humid, it wasn’t too dry, and the hurdy gurdy made the sound. 

I think it’s very iconic of the show. Every time I hear it I go, ‘that’s Black Sails’. 

It captures the spirit of the show. These are all broken, sad, almost unlikable characters. And the combination of that hurdy gurdy groove with the melody that’s slower than it should be. To me it just struck that nerve. I think it gets to the core what the show’s about.”

no bc jack being the one to break it to her that they aren’t back… and he doesn’t say it gently he doesn’t say it tenderly

no one else had the guts at that moment to burst her bubble and jack realized he could be the one to hurt her with the truth

bc it would have been more generally in character for barbossa to give the “we’re not back” reveal as the usual bearer of both undead curses and bad news

and it would have been a softer hit for will to tell her because they’re barely on speaking terms at this point sure but he would have been really delicate about it, tried to soften the blow, maybe pull her aside

but jack is so cold and reserved when he tells her, and so freshly dead himself

there’s no lies between them anymore, especially not pretty ones

and then you can draw the comparison as well that it’s elizabeth’s fault jack is in the locker in the first place… whose fault is it that weatherby’s there too? elizabeth obviously blames herself for it afterwards, as much as she blames beckett and norrington

i absolutely agree yes yes yes yes yes… jack is absolutely surprised that he has to break this news to her because jack is very good at having multifaceted people in his life but only every being able to focus on one of their sides

he met elizabeth as a spitfire young woman and he’s absolutely seen her becoming disenchanted with him/all of piratekind, but the way he remembers her and the way he sees her in this moment is as the ruthless pirate who sacrificed him to a fate worse than death because it was the right thing to do for her and hers

so i think it does absolutely just… catch him off guard to see her as a young girl incapable of even like. conceiving. of the fact that her father could be dead.

#but i literally love this reading of jack as like idk petty sounds a bit too light uhhhh vindictive maybe? #more just actively horrible for the sake of it which i think is kind of rare for him at least to this extent #he’s usually more like. bitchy but we do see him cutting a bit deeper with elizabeth in awe #like the whole ‘four of you have tried to kill me in the past’ is fucking hilarious but also like man. #revealing that in front of everyone could honestly have been a lot worse for her than just creating some drama between her and will #bc we know at least gibbs is very loyal to jack so it’s kind of lucky for elizabeth jack is like. a cunt and no one got very upset

YES. YES THIS IS EXACTLY IT. this is why it’s a parallel for me with him shooting barbossa at the end of CotBP because like… “bitchy” or “catty” is absolutely a flavor of what is going on here but like in the cold dead way of a generally lighthearted easy going spice of life kind of guy being driven to the end of his rope

i don’t think he was really doing his best or his utmost to hurt her, because as un-gentle as he is there were definitely a dozen more pointedly cruel ways for him to break the news to her

he just needed to sort of yoink the wool from her eyes y’know? like just swoop in and swipe that last little bit of instinctual young hearted optimism

and like cotbp jack or a dmc jack wouldn’t have been the one to tell her, but he would have been the one to let her fall into his arms to cry it out, he would’ve like elbowed everyone else out of the way at the chance

but at this moment he needs to break it to her and can’t even bear to witness her pain afterwards, because every brush with death really does just make him more of a coward

it’s not like jack told her a secret here, and it’s not as if she wouldn’t have pieced it together eventually if no one else had been brave enough to tell her what was going on… he just needed to be the one to deliver that news

because like. eventually. in that moment. elizabeth would have to realize that her father was dead. and eventually, throughout the course of their relationship, jack would have to realize that elizabeth is a pirate through and through and won’t hesitate to throw him to the kraken if that’s what was blocking her way to safety. but he definitely didn’t want to find out like that. and she definitely didn’t deserve to hear the news like that.  

idk. i think for jack it feels like a comeuppance. like oh you have this sun shiney ideal of what life could be like? i had that too once. i thought i was going to turn around and come back for you and save you from the kraken’s clutches and we’d get our happily ever after on dry land and on the run forever. life’s crueler than that.

#anyway this is the second time i write this all out because tumblr just sent my post to hell last time i tried to rb#but point is i love your analysis mwah mwah
