Tia Dalma / Calypso (Pirates of the Caribbean) «I will be free, and when I am, I will give you my heart, and we will be together always… but if only you had a heart to give. »#shapeshifter stories where she doesn’t get to control the shape or the transformation #being punished for being too inconstant too disloyal #Would you love me if i was anything but what I am? #no one who has ever loved her has ever known the answer to that #too enormous to be imagined to slippery to be pinned in place #if she held still they would love her better if she had held still they never would have loved her at all (via gatheringbones)#no bones that’s okay; I wasn’t using my heart this morning  #stories about loving gods but growing to despise them because you cannot fit the all of them in your heart  #about punishing goddesses for being inhuman by making them human; about trapping the sea in the bones of a woman  #(something explicable; something you can understand)  #(you cannot hold the tide on the shore; but you can hold her down; bind her with cord; keep her always)  #(except women are deeper and stiller than men can fathom and women have chasms into which none have traveled)  #(and Calypso wears Tia Dalma’s smile and finds that this shape too carries monsters in its belly—  #this shape too can wreck men on its coastlines and this shape too can bring the storm and Tia Dalma smiles)  #(same story; different versions all are true)  #but this too is a story about how a goddess revenges herself  #how she uses human things—stories and coins and a dead man’s hands  #and when she says her captors will feel her cruelty she is thanking them—how else could the sea learn of cruelty but through humanity (notbecauseofvictories) -- source link
