thepromiseofredemption:#a shipwreck of love and ambition seeking refuge among the rocks that shattered him #(and I do believe he wasn’t intending to ally with Beckett; not at first #he was just useless and drunken and signed on because why the fuck not) #just…look at the way that he looks at her #that is not a look of unrequited love; that is not even bitterness over spurned love #that is the look of a man who is so far past losing everything that he can only laugh #(what’s one more bullet wound when you’ve already bled out?) #potc is about the ways people become pirates–and it’s always wanting that drives them there #wanting love wanting freedom wanting a ship wanting glory wanting wealth wanting and wanting and wanting #piracy is about the ability to chase that wanting; to cut the corners and simply aim yourself at what you desire #Jack’s compass natch) #but how do you stride for the horizon in a shipwreck? you’re left with just the wanting #and the wanting kills #and that’s what Commodore Norrington here is about (notbecauseofvictories)oh my GOD, Norrington. -- source link
