#potc ramble

since it's highly likely that Elizabeth neither told anyone about Norrington's death nor that she even met him on the Dutchman it's really funny how Jack will always think that James actually being killed dead on that island trying to escape and that's how the heart oh Davvy Jones was returned to the owner like isn't it crazy. I bet Jack would be really impressed if he knew. he might've even respect James even more who knows

I think it's cute that in the locker we see the versions of Jack we've never seen before: the hesitant one, the meek one, the apathetic one, lots of pathetic ones (more than usual), the one that yearns (for a goat bit still), the one that is ugly scared and the one that hides and giggles at the misfortunes of others. And it's also so cute how angry and irritable the og Jack was there like straight up killing all this versions. He is so mad at them. Were those the parts of him he hated the most? And like bearing with them was his private hell? Anyway this is so interesting to me.

today I learned the expression "you're my true north" and unfortunately immediately thought about jack sparrow's pre-cotbp freaky compass that was clearly unable to point to anything jack wanted since the thing he wanted most was to kill barbossa. its arrow was strictly fixed and so naturally acted as any normal compass would act but instead the north it pointed to barbossa. I just think it's delicious. jack would hate this phrase

idk but the fact that Beckett and Barbossa have never met amuses me so much like everyone else was communicating left and right while this two divas were just plotting against each other, but one side was probably not even aware of another existence and the other had some faceless concept of global capitalism instead of a small british man. queen shit

gifs with the jack's speech in shipwreck cove reminded me about my fav headcanon for jack which is that he once read a shitload of roman law manuscripts to become better at arguing. that made him dangerously annoying
