📖What is their favorite outside of the bedroom activity to do with their partner?

        ooooh okay let’s split this one between canon and modern. so, for canon, I don’t think I could narrow it down to solely one favourite activity, but one that particularly stands out is how much he enjoys swimming and hanging out by the beach. occasionally the Pearl will dock at a deserted island in order to restock and give the crew some leave for a few hours, and ( this is actually established in canon ), Jack often likes to give himself a few hours of leave himself and will venture off to a more secluded part of the beach to swim and relax by the shoreline. in verses where this applies, he will definitely invite any partner of his to join him and will even bring a picnic along too ( this goes back to an early tradition between him and Esmeralda during their courting days ). Jack doesn’t have much in the way of downtime in his life so this is definitely quite an important tradition for him ( and it’s more social than his other downtime activity, reading in his cabin lmao )

badass dark power couple of my heART

okay so I love these two because it’s post-mutiny ( yep I’ve settled on this now betse ), Jack is at his lowest point in his life, and he is slowly, but surely swayed over to the dark side by Nyx. she offers him a kind of freedom that he’s never experienced before: complete freedom from morals

we’ve discussed this one but the combined presence of these two actually influences the weather. Nyx brings darkness wherever she goes, and when intertwined with Jack’s extreme inner conflict this manifests itself as very stormy weather. so if they’re ever on board a ship together it can cause Issues B)

alternatively, the added benefit of stormy weather can actually help them out when it comes to being on board or nearby an enemy ship, or in an enemy port like Port Royal. arriving on the shore and bringing a storm in their wake can do wonders for helping Jack to sneak down to the docks and commandeer a ship of the fleet 

as this is post-mutiny, Jack’s ultimate goal is to reclaim the Pearl and so Nyx is ultimately prepping and grooming him in order to succeed in that. once he does get her back ( in what is I guess a darker version of cotbp, stay tuned ), is when Jack’s ‘training’ is complete, and from there on out Nyx leaves him more to his own devices, and their relationship becomes less intense

seeing as we’re over here writing our own fb trilogy i hAD TO DO THIS ONE NEXT

so credence is jack’s Adopted Son and it’s beautiful okay. jack tends to be drawn to troubled, damaged, lost people and, in credence’s case, he also feels so protective over him because of the injustices of how he was treated. he’s a champion for those who can’t defend themselves tbh and he really can’t help himself from becoming a mentor figure to others. it’s his Thing

but now we’ve plotted things out another part of the reason why jack takes such a proactive role in credence’s life is because he’s seen darkness corrupt mary ( and even seen the signs of it happening right in front of him ) and he identifies with credence pretty early on that he has a chance to stop something like that from happening again :’)

so he manages to help credence control the power inside him and understand it. admittedly jack isn’t a hugely powerful wizard but he’s very perceptive and he’d definitely figure out pretty quickly that it was connected to credence’s emotions, so he’d help him control them

he’d also head to the nearest bookshop and buy all of the books he hasn’t read since his first year at hogwarts and use them as his guide to teaching credence how to harness and use his magic

also we’re getting rid of that haircut. just saying

smol bbys <3

so needless to say that Megan is a Bad Influence™ in this verse lmao and that’s honestly part of the appeal for Jack, but unlike Christophe ( who is just complete bad news lbr ), Megan is a more good-spirited bad influence, if that makes sense? she might be difficult to get along with and is pretty surly and angry to begin with, but she’s not looking to do any harm plus I think Jack will be able to get through to her in a way that few others are able to so tl;dr they’re gonna do each other some good okay

and when they get to a point where they actually start getting along, Jack is taking her on a touristy trip around London’s sights B)

he’ll also go into one of the few supermarkets that actually sells american only brands and buy her some of her favourite things from home for movie nights

Megan won’t be Jack’s first time in this verse, but she’s definitely gonna be the first time that Jack has had proper feelings for a girl and that will bring with it plenty of angst and tension B)

      “I’m sorry, Jack. We’ve reached the end of our horizon.”

      Someone might as well have ripped his heart ( did he have one anymore? it was rather alcohol-sodden, he was sure ) from the cavity in his chest. As Jack Sparrow stood at the stern of the Dying Gull, a ship so befitting of its name that he couldn’t even be sure whether she’d float, crew-less and without prospects -- or indeed money, from that damned safe he’d spent weeks trying to break into -- there had perhaps been few instances in his life when he’d sunk as low as this. He was without means of leaving this place but, more importantly, without the one man who, up until now, had stood by his increasing run of terrible luck. The one last person he’d had in his life had gone, and as he watched Joshamee Gibbs walk into the distance, Jack felt any fight he had left in him disappear completely.

      There was no use fighting it anymore. This was it. The legend of Captain Jack Sparrow would end here, on an unremarkable island in the Caribbean -- known only for every single failure and disaster to befall him over the last few years. You should have retired from the account years ago, Jackie. Perhaps that was the truth of it. Perhaps it was delusion on his part to believe that he could still bolster his reputation as his age -- not exactly old, per se ( and nor did he look as old as his years, mercifully ), but seemingly past his prime. Any attempt to turn around his fortune was doomed to failure, it seemed, and perhaps the one thing left to do was to give this all up while he still had one shred of dignity left.

       But where would he go? The rum still swirling around his system was quick to answer that he didn’t much care. And he bloody needed another bottle of the stuff.

       Securing the bottled Black Pearl back under his coat, he turned from the stern railing and was stopped in his tracks by a painfully familiar figure, stood near the ladder. Dark eyes widened ( rum, it had to be the rum ), lips pursing into a frown.

@hangtherules / @etchedinfire ~ where would any blog recommendations of mine be without Jen honestly??? she is SUCH an integral part of both this blog and my experience on tumblr as a whole that I cannot imagine the two without her and her 4392 blogs that I keep encouraging her to create because I am literal trash lmfao. she writes not only Jack’s now-wife, but his mother and his OC sister and, at one point, his children too ( along with all of her other muses, most of which are her strong-minded, often british, ladies ) and she does it all so well. when she first started writing Elizabeth, our muses ( and us ) clicked instantly and it was beautiful and ever since, every muse she has taken up she has written to perfection, capturing their voices and mannerisms flawlessly. I know Jen has said this but it is always so rewarding to start something new with her ( be it a verse or a muse or a ship ) and know instantly that our characters and writing will mesh, and I think that’s why we’ve ended up with so many ships ( romantic and platonic ) across all of our blogs. and on top of that, she’s a great friend too and I love her to pieces <33

@damnbutcher ~ if I mention Jen then I’ve also gotta mention Glitzy because watching these two write together is always such a joy <3 but as for Glitzy herself, she is so damn talented. I remember being super nervous about writing her way back when her Charles Vane first started crossing my dash because she was literally overflowing with talent, but I’m SO glad I did because she has such an amazing grasp on all of her characters and has such a passion for writing them too. she is the whole reason why I grew to love Charles so much as a character while watching Black Sails, and she honestly brings the midas touch to every muse that she picks up, making me love them even if I was somewhat indifferent before, and I always get so excited to see which muse she’s picking up or adding to her multi next ( a special shoutout in particular that she’s writing Henry Turner and already writing him better than canon <3 ). as well as that, she is literal sunshine to talk to and bouncing back ideas is always SO much fun, and she is just an absolute asset to this community and my own roleplaying experience tbh <3

As someone with a muse that has serious anger issues, I love everything about this. I think Jack and Guy just need to break some stuff. O_o

yessssss they should both invest in a house or something that they can just destroy inside to vent their anger out hahaha

Megan chanting in the background: Do it. Do it. Do it.
