ive had to do a lot of thinking abt the pirates franchise and yknow what....juan/alice is such an underrated ship but its also so....SAD. like juan and alice got married when they were both relatively old, so like...imagine being juan and having your wife die, but believing in the afterlife and believing you’ll get to see her again. that you’ll get to spend the time you missed out on b/c you married so late in life. and then you realize youll NEVER see her again because you have some kind of destiny to fulfill. and he goes centuries and centuries and centuries without ever seeing her again, dating and dating and marrying and sleeping around but its just. never reall yht esame. alice was his first real relationship and even now, living in the fucking future space-age, he isnt over her. he probably had to keep from asking if they could, maybe, just maybe, make a hologram of her. he doesnt even know if she died “too early” to get into the pirate-heaven that everyone goes to, but he wants to know, and he CANT. i like imagining his face if he does ever get to talk to her again. good imagine
