#Jamie my beloved

@itsadmiralactually

I agree with your point about James being a good choice as "a man who totally would do that job". Cause you're right, he's absolutely responsible and has sense of duty etc.

The reason why I am against him being captain of THAT ship is James' life situation. Both in movies and in Sins of the father book. All his life is literally serving and obeying other people. His shitty father (who treated him like a toy/tool), people with power, society rules and so on. He's under someone's control since childhood. All his life looks like duties, duties, duties. Navy, navy, navy.

Always doing things for others. Always repressed. Always so lonely. The Dutchman? Just another duty and obeying Calypso's rules (more noble than serving in the navy - cause you help poor dead souls - but still, it's something that became a curse, it's a job with cruel "you can't go to a land (...)). It's a job you have to do cause you stabbed a heart (no one wants it, even Jack changed his mind). It's a job... hey, Calypso, how about you doing it? 😉

It's years that will make you feel alone. All what James knows is feeling alone. He deserves a change. A life he never had. He deserves to have someone, friends. Someone who will want him for him and not for "being useful". The vision of Lizzie, Will, Jack & Co living there on land/Pearl and having their happy moments while Jamie is alone (or with some random crew/ghosts) and all time on the sea, in other part of the world, working and working... It's too sad. It's... unfair.

I think that what he needed whole his life was... freedom. The Dutchman is not a freedom. But there are other ships that are. And there are people who would want him in their family. Oh, they would, I believe! And there is a place for him there. There is a place for him learning and embracing his redemption.

Where I do see him? On the Pearl. On the ship that means freedom. On the ship with friends (Lizzie, Will, Jack). Him being their friends would be such a change. Him having freedom and doing things for himself (oh!) but also still for others - but this time with free will and for a good reasons. Him building a new place, new rules, new world for himself and his new allies, friends.

Him on Pearl again (DMC my beloved) but this time he truly sees himself there, he feels a part of this ship, this crew/found family. Him respecting and maybe even loving now the Pearl - a ship he once chased and wanted to destroy. Him joining Jack - a man who maybe is so different but also mirrors him so much. They're both victims of their fathers/families and the system. Both trying whole their life to prove they're worthy (as a Captain and Commodore/Admiral) because they weren't enough in people's eyes. Others made them each other's enemies, they had to fight, James thought that "all pirates are evil". But now? Him seeing all the bullshit, seeing all the mistakes, seeing how he, Jack and other people were hurt. Him finding friends on the other side of old conflict. Him being friends with those who he "hated". Him fixing things together with them. Oh, redemption being a big lesson. Gosh, him being friends with Will after all that mess! Him being besties with Lizzie like they deserved! Him having Gibbs again on his side! And Jack, oh gosh! And him fixing things with them, helping all people who were hurt on both sides, maybe even fighting with the rich power and Beckett-like guys? That sweet irony of life 😄

To be clear: I respect your view sooo much ♥️ I just wanted to explain my feels. And I wanted to say that I know James would be a great captain and would do that task and yeah, he's one of the finest men there and he would want to help poor souls. I just think that his anxious past makes him also a bad choice. I mean, he doesn't deserve to be lonely, serving and not knowing what a happiness is (and how a truly free life tastes). The Dutchman isn't it for me (but it's just my opinion and I know many people will disagree with it and also with my feels that James has a great potential to be a good pirate like Willabeth and Jack - and it's totally fine ♥️♥️♥️).

I want to see him with people who know him and respect him, who will say "come with us, Jamie". I want him to smile, laugh, having free days, adventures, little pleasures. I want him to feel the warmth. To be needed as him, as James. Him enjoying a simple life. Him being a sailor (man on a ship) but with freedom. Sailing when and where he wants to sail. Him focusing on the sun, wind, sea, birds, his friends. On what he can do (to quote Jack 😉).

P.S. Also, agree that it (Dutchman plot) would be better than his death 😭 Btw, it would be a great chance for Willabeth, Jack & Co to try to help him and take him away from there 😉 (something what 5th movie tried to make with Will's son, Jack & Co in Will's case - just imagine his reaction when Calypso is like "Oh, niiiiice, looks like some people miss you and wanna fight me for you. Go, boy, go to them" 😭).

Top 5 favorite shows (for the moment)

emerges from the wreckage covered in blood I SWEAR I DIDN'T FORGET ABOUT THESE ASKS

THE SIGN 🌸

these motherfuckers sure do live rent free in my fucking head. you've probably all seen my unhinged impassioned writing about them. they're consuming my every thought. it's getting to the point where i stay up on saturdays to watch them, which means i don't go to sleep until like NOON. (why don't you just wake up early oat? well bc i go to bed at like 7am anyway.)

PIT BABE 🌸

i'll be honest, i'm watching this almost entirely for alanjeff and so i don't get intense fomo. the plot is like, fine. it is what it is. but i'm still having a great fucking time. (if we don't get an alanjeff kiss tomorrow tho i might be a little pouty.)

CHERRY MAGIC 🌸

you could have held me at fucking gunpoint and asked me if this would become one of my favorites and i would've told you no way, but my god i'm so captivated by everything this show is doing. i love the commentary on consent, taking advantage of someone, finding strength and love in being alone, that it's okay to get older, that to someone you are special. i need them back this week pls and thank yoooou.

KISEKI: DEAR TO ME 🌸

so i disappeared from tumblr and discord for like.. 26 hours yesterday? i desperately needed a mental health reset. what was i doing during that time away? i rewatched my favorite boys and took 4 pages of notes for a fic. it's been a long time since i've been this dedicated to writing a fic and this obsessed with gathering every single detail of a set of characters.

LAST TWILIGHT 🌸

i wouldn't be writing my weekly meta posts if i didn't absolutely love this show so far. (seriously, they take me like 2-3 hours to make.) it isn't hitting me quite like Moonlight Chicken did but i think that may just be because i'm watching it weekly. i cannot wait to see how a full binge watch will fuck me up once it's all out. this show, like most P'Aof shows, is very special to me. it makes me feel very seen.

Omg finally a gif that summarizes my day 😍

[coquetteladyofthedeadmensworld]

But he's so cute with his long locks!! 😍😍😍

[meisterdani]

I love how we’ve all agreed that mint is a word Jamie uses

[w0niecult]

hey, this is all very sudden, but I’m gonna quit this blog due to my health and some personal stuff

I created this blog because of my love for Metallica and as a way to help me heal and rest during my burnout

I got to meet lovely, like-minded people who brought me happiness and helped me take my mind off of the pain and stress I was experiencing, and for that I will be forever grateful.

I’m bad with words, but I’m genuinely so grateful for all the lovely people I’ve met and all the sweet moments we had together.

<3

[nippydippyarts]

Hey hii hello :3 my first post on here ! trying to move everything over from twitter just preparing for that website's death o7

[kakdidyoulaythisegg]

JAMIE!!!!!!!!!!!

[until--it--sleeps]

for anyone wondering, James was very cute and giggly last night...

it was so beautiful to watch as he interacted and joked with fans...

[raemeh]

if I suddenly post a lot more photos of my dnd dad I’m sorry

[ellena-asg]

Yeah, he is ♥️ (is it controversial? 🤔)

But, excuse me, "every single person in the POTC movies slept on it" - JACK! Jack "I'm rooting for you, mate" was the one who knew it, always. Jack saw it long before pirate!James happened.

Controversial Opinion: James Norrington is a Certified Babe™ and every single person in the POTC movies slept on it

Top 5 Manner of Death scenes/moments? 👀

ask me my top 5 anything 🌸

AAAA JAMIE YOU JUST GET ME - and i promise not to talk about the novel vs show differences too much

inspector m and his big idiot crush on bunn and complete lack of game. he fumbled such a bad bitch like bunn but it's okay because he ended up in one of my favorite ships ever (yes i acknowledge it's just crumbs of a ship but i adore them.) i'm obsessed with any fanfics that have them being best friends after everything settles down because the groundwork was definitely there.

i want him to squish me like a bug. i just enjoy this is one of the few scenes where we really see tan's dam side come out and see this side of his life. it's easy to forget that tan is a criminal and has been working for a crime family, it's his love for bunn that brings out his sense of justice and protective side.

i've talked about the shower scene before but ugh. UGH. give me more soft, caring moments like this. like, this is behavior i'd expect from a couple that has been together for a while and i love that. so many shows are all about a couple getting together and the lead up to that but i like the adult relationship we get from tan and bunn and these little moments of love and maturity we see from their relationship. (and this is one of the few scenes actually in the book too lmao)

i thought for SURE his confrontation with gun was going to end up a cringy 'i'm taking you into the station' bullshit but LMAAAAO. nope, m just unloads his ENTIRE CLIP into this man. god that was so sexy of him, chasing him down while holding in his guts and taking his revenge. fuck yes baby. and just keeping that cold stare the whole time? oughghgh.

"Why do you look like this every time I come to see you? You are stubborn, you know? So stubborn that I don't want you to leave my sight. So stubborn that I don't want to let you go anywhere. I'm really sorry… for not being by your side. It's my fault. I'm not so stubborn as you. If I had been more stubborn and followed you… If I had shared half of your stubbornness, you wouldn't have been hurt like this. Please give me one more chance. Please let me protect you. Come back and be my stubborn baby."

imo this is some of max's best acting. this scene really drove home tan's absolute devotion and pure love he has for bunn. all he's ever wanted was to keep bunn safe and he feels like a complete failure because he didn't. and then to add in that at this point in time bunn is still very much angry with him but he doesn't care, bunn can be angry with him because at least that means bunn is alive and well. UGH. TANBUNN I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

bonus because they're like one of my top 3 ships:

the fact that this is one of the handful of times we see inspector m smile, much less laugh. i just know if we'd been given a sequel they would've been the cutest fucking couple. i need more moat fic to exist in the world.

(this was so hard and im SURE i forgot some of my fav scenes but these are what stood out while i was flipping through eps)

Not Jamie Mccrimmon making my scottish nationalism go brrrr
