i canāt talk shit about the pirates of the caribbean films as if elizabeth swann becoming pirate king didnāt hand my entire ass to me and make me the gay i am today
these 2 looks basically defined my sexuality and iām not afraid to admit it
things pirates of the caribbean got right:
1. will and elizabethās love story
2. elizabeth becoming pirate king
3. avoiding sexualizing elizabeth or the other female pirate characters in the first 3 films by allowing them to wear period-accurate pirate outfits that arenāt tailored to be revealing and impractical forĀ āsex appealā just because theyāre women
4. hans zimmerās entire score but especially the iconic āheās a pirateā main theme
5. When the movie came out, morally-gray characters like Jack were actually not really a thing yet in pop culture, and itās not Piratesā fault that there are a ton of stupid shitty copycats out there.
6. I run a corseting panel at cons and literally use Elizabethās lace-up scene as a video clip of what historical corseting was actually like, because the only thing they got wrong in this scene is that tightlacing wouldnāt be a thing for about another 200 years (and you couldnāt tightlace with the corset style Elizabeth is wearing anyway). Itās one of the most accurate corseting scenes Iāve ever seen.
7. Willās hat.
8. That scene with all the pirates on the gallows where that little boy starts singing Hoist the Colours? Yeah, thatās fucking legendary. The rest of AWE was kind of a trash fire, but that scene gave me goosebumps.
9. Thereās this great shot in the first one where they really drive home the class differences inherent in this time period by having the governor talking about progress and civilization to Elizabeth in their carriage, and then they cut to a shot outside the carriage where a beggar gets splashed by mud from the wheel. Itās a perfect way to underline that everything is not, in fact, a nice little upper-class fairytale, and to give some weight to Willās storyline, because he has a lot more in common with that beggar than with the governor.
10. For its time, the CGI was fucking amazing.
11. And letās not forget the work of the makeup department, which had to actually invent new ways of putting on makeup for this movie.
12. The governorās death scene. Holy shit.
13. They could have gone with a Jack/Will/Elizabeth love triangle, but they didnāt. There are some hints Jack is in love (or at least in lust) with Elizabeth, but he recognizes that she loves Will, and thatās that.
14. Youāve got to admit that wedding was unique.
15. The introduction of fantasy elements to historical fiction outside of Tolkein-esque fantasy, and how it contributed to and expanded the Fantasy Media boom weāre still enjoying today.
1. They had a woman of colour play a goddess.
2. They had a woman pirate right in the first film, when the tradition is to only show male ones (hell, the PotC ride at Disney had a wench auction scene until recently). And it was a female pirate of colour at that!
3. Elizabeth may not have known how to fight in the first film, but she wasnāt helpless either. Her first instinct was to fight, but she also had the brains to recognize when it was best to hide instead. Plus when given the chance she stabbed Barbosa that one time.
4. Elizabethās lack of fighting ability was not simply because she was a woman, it was clear it was due to her societal circumstances, since we saw other women of different socioeconomic backgrounds being able to fight (and when given the opportunity to learn Elizabeth took to fighting like a duck on water).
5. The Hoist the Colours scene where we see pirates of multiple ethnicities and their varying flags, reminding us that pirates came in all shapes and sizes and werenāt just white men.
6. One of the Pirate Lords being yet ANOTHER woman of colour. She may not have had much of a speaking role if memory serves, but even her presence is already a big deal.
7. The pirates accepting their King is a woman without much fuss.
Pirates is amazing I will not here a bad word
Davy Jones CGI is legendary and a ton better than some of the stuff done today š
Iām pretty sure that female Chinese pirate was a nod to a real, documented female pirate king who was Chinese and had a whole fleet of ships at her disposal but I canāt remember her name rn
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ching_Shih
My favorite part about the Bretheren Court voting wasnāt that they were against Elizabeth for becoming King as a woman and newcomer. They were pissed at Jack for being a chaotic neutral who broke the decades long tradition of an egotistical stalemate by voting for someone besides himself.
Also, the deleted scenes from Black Pearl and At Worldās End that divulge more of Jackās troubled past, like how he was branded as a pirate by the East Indian Trading Company because he stole a ship full of slaves and freed them.
āPeople arenāt cargo, mate.ā
Love these movies.
āYes. I saw him. I saw him with my own eyes.ā

Obsessed
[video description: various short clips of a toddler walking up to a grumpy looking orange cat and snuggling their face gently against the catās side.]
I like how the kid pauses their toddler momentum before approaching the cat gently. Like, yes, cat understands that toddler must be treated softly. But clearly, toddler also understands that cat must be treated softly. Thatās pretty great.
I luuuh this
God, this makes me SO happy, you donāt even know!!!
This means so much to me you have no idea.
For those of my followers who might not understand, before fast Muslims will wake in the hours before Fajr (the time of our Subh prayers, the first prayer if the day) to eat, like to prepare yourself to fast the entire day. Sahur means A Lot, especially to kids, because imagine the whole family, sleepy, grumpy and only vaguely aware of your surroundings, nibbling on bread, making hearty carbs and drinking jugs of clear water to make sure we make it through the day alright. Someone falls asleep in their soup. Dad is staring at his coffee like it personally insulted his past. The outside world is quiet. It s peaceful and sentimental. Itās made by the people who love and care about you, and you would be surrounded by people you would grow into being able to carry loving silences with.
Itās fucking goddamned great to know that that there are still people, strangers, frankly, that care enough to do this
Reblogging because there is not enough good news in the world.
The only decent way to use white privilege
to whatever teenager needs to hear this:
statistically your generation is having less underage sex & drinking less & doing fewer drugs &Ā generally making better choices than your parentsā generation
the shit you see on tv is just a bunch of middle-aged tv producers (who should know better) sexualizing you & projecting onto your age group.Ā
do your best not to internalize it as normal (itās not!), and absolutely call them on their bullshit.Ā

KhalsaAid
Khalsa Aid is fucking amazing. Theyāre who you want to donate to, period.
This is one of the few cases where I advocate donating to organisations rather than individuals, because right now, in India, the breakdown of medical infrastructure is so bad that money wonāt help you. The effort is being carried out now by volunteers who are coordinating resources.
Khalsa Aid is a very old and proven and beloved organisation with absolutely no ties to the hindu government. In fact they have extensive ties to the still-ongoing farmerās protests. They are effective, established, trusted, and sound.
I think itās safe to say this is the entire fandom right now

Crows donāt just remember the faces of the people who wronged them. They also remember those who were kind. They tell each other who to look after and who to watch out for.

you know whatās really genuinely unsettling? the degree to which men fucking do not want to sympathize with/be interested in women.
male audiences will happily watch a dozen superhero shows, but then something like Agent Carter or Supergirl turn up and theyāre panned from the first trailer and have to struggle for ratings. male audiences will watch countless installments of a franchise as long as itās about men doing man things but the second a character like Rey or Furiosa or god forbid four entire female Ghostbusters steps up and takes a position of prominence itāsĀ āpandering sjw bullshitā.
itās not pandering. men just aggressively donāt want to have to be invested in a womanās narrative and itās really gross.
anyway re: everyone telling me toĀ āStop making this a gender thingā or some variation on that
this isnāt like⦠an opinion Iām pulling out of my ass here? this starts where earlier than tv shows and hollywood blockbusters, when all the kids in a class are reading Harry Potter or Percy Jackson or Eragon o Lord of the Rings or Maze Runner or whatever the hip book is right now. the books like that, the ones that become popular reading, are overwhelmingly about male leads, because male is still considered the default.Ā
thereās a split in YA literature, between books that areĀ āfor everyoneā andĀ āfor girlsā, and thatās honestly the entire issue in a tiny little box right there. stories about men are supposed to be accessible for everyone, but stories about girls are seen as 1.) inherently for women and 2.) something that only women will care about.
men grow up in a society that doesnāt make them go out of their way to get into the heads of women and empathize with then. historically itās been very easy for men to not engage with female-led media if they donāt want to, whereas (like someone else commented on this post) girls and women have had very little choice in the past because everything was about men. we didnāt even question it.
and now the women are arriving in mainstream media in ways that say theyāre important and they matter and
small (or sometimes not so small) but loud-enough-to-be-acknowledged groups of men lose. their. shit.
because they think thereās something inherently Not For Them about a womanās story, and they never learned how to deal with it.
(also once again, because Ā LOT of yaāll donāt seem to get this here: Iām trying to talk about knee-jerk reactions to female-centered works - often before they even come out. not whether or not you personally thought [x show or movie] was good. ya feel?)
i donāt think iāve ever read a single post that iāve agreed with so totally and so immediately and hereās why:
i love books, right? and from the ages of about 11-15 i was insanely invested in teenage/ya fantasy and sci-fi. harry potter, percy jackson, all of the books op listed above- and one of the things that made those books so great was that you could have a conversation about them with anyone! a lot of the guys in my class also loved this type of genre and iād often talk about books with them (even my own brother has read all of the books listed above) weād have long, interesting conversations about these books and it was great.
but then iād mention something about the hunger games, or the divergent series, or uglies, the raven cycle, mara dyer, the mortal instruments, the selection, etc. and the response would always be the same: eitherĀ āi havenāt read itā orĀ āi couldnāt get into itā orĀ āit doesnāt seem like my type of thingā
even outside of the ya genre, looking at something like contemporary fiction or whatever- do you know how many guys will talk endlessly about the great gatsby or catcher in the rye or any other male-centric novel? but when you bring up something as influential as pride and prejudice or jane eyre or practically /anything/ written by/focused around a woman- you get the same responses as before
society has made it so that women have no choice whether to engage with male-centric stories or not: from children, a big portion of the media we consume focuses on the male perspective and like,,, thatās not necessarily a bad thing /in itself/- the bad thing is that it doesnāt work both ways and itās not an even split. whereas young girls are surrounded by and expected to empathise with films/books/media concerning men, itās not the same for young boys: they have narratives that either focus entirely or largely around them.Ā
women have no trouble consuming media that focuses on a male narrative because itās been labelled as the default, the ānormalā- whereas men struggle to watch/read anything that doesnāt focus around them because theyāve never /had/ to.
