I get genuinely bothered when my friends believe I simp for Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean. Like- BRUH. That Eldritch man has no time for love, y’all. It is out of his character and I will not accept it. He literally carved out his heart and will not feel any joy or pleasure because of it.
Besides, his one true love is Calypso. That man called out to her with his dying breath when the heart was stabbed in movie three. If that isn’t true love, I don’t know what is. But I also understand that he cannot decide whether to love or hate her after everything that’s happened to him (or at least that’s my head cannon).
Not to mention…I will not smash him. Now I know there are people that like Jones carnally (I won’t judge. Y’all do you.), but I cannot fathom that and will not participate in that. Getting freaky with him always reminds me of that one Robot Chicken skit where a woman and her partner have a fantasy foreplay about her getting with Jack Sparrow, but her partner constantly displays/shows how nasty pirates back then were. I imagine Jones is 1000x worse than that. Then again, I have a massive crush on Victor Gideon from RE9, so what do I know, eh? And Bill Nighy himself is a good looking man for his age, especially back when these movies were made. But I respect him more than anything. He’s a brilliant actor and seems really nice.
Jones is my absolute favorite villain, there is no doubt about it. But because I put him on the highest pedestal and really care about his character, I prefer if he is as close to in-character as possible with fan works and refuse ships that aren’t JonesxCalypso (I won’t even ship myself with him). I know people ship him with others, and that’s fine…It’s just not my thing. And if you agree or disagree with me, either is perfectly fine.
To me, Davy Jones isn’t here to fuck. He is here to fuck shit up.
