#There's like fifteen Disney items and ten random ones

[oveliagirlhaditright]

So, in the $1300 Disney advent calendar (celebrating 100 years of Disney... and this adventure calendar is so not worth it, btw, I watched a video on it), they have random crystal stars in it... that don't tie to Disney at all. And a part of me wants to try and save it and say they're supposed to be paopu fruits, but we all know they aren't. LOL

Fifteen Years Ago

How old were you? I was six years old and the biggest thing I was worrying about was not knowing how to draw a star. Who were your best friends? I didn’t have any, but I remember having a group of friends that consisted of Raegan, Aica, Chrissy, and Marty.  If you went to school, where did you go? The same school I went to for 14 years. Where did you live? We still lived at our extended family’s house. It’s just beside our present village. What were your hobbies? Um, I wouldn’t say I had hobbies when I was 6. I liked watching Hi-5 and collecting Pogs, I guess. I remember enjoying coloring too, so I guess that pastime of mine started early.

What were your favorite TV shows? Hi-5, Lazytown, Spongebob. What music did you listen to? I don’t think I had favorite artists or bands that early. Describe what your hair looked like. It was long and a little wavy, but my mom chopped it all off in time for my Prep graduation, which I hated. I liked having pigtails back then. What were your favorite colors? I think it was purple because it was my great-grandma’s favorite color. Describe something you'd typically wear. My mom determined my wardrobe because I was 6, lmao. Who did you live with? Grandparents, parents, my siblings, my cousins, my aunt, and uncle. Our house is a duplex so we also have relatives in the other house (my great-grandma, great-aunt, and two uncles). What was your relationship status? As a 6 year old? Did you have any pets? I had a lot of goldfish back then. Did you have a job? What was it or what was your dream job? No.

Ten Years Ago

How old were you? I was 11. Kinda chaotic year in terms of reaching puberty and being confused about literally everything all of a sudden. Where did you live? We had already moved to the house we currently live in today. Who did you you live with? Just my immediate family this time around. Kimi had already joined us, too. Did you have any pets? Yes, my dog. Who were your best friends? Angela and Marielle. Did you have a job? What was it or what was your dream job? Nope, I was in fifth grade. Did you go to school? If so, where? Still the same school. What were your favorite colors? I’m really not sure but I have to guess purple, because great-grandma was obsessed with it. I think I briefly liked orange too because this was around the time I got into Paramore, and Hayley still dyed her hair orange. What were your favorite TV shows? I didn’t watch a lot of TV during this time. I got into Twilight, though. What were your hobbies? This was around the time cellphones (and in particular, flip phones) and group messages became all the rage, so I was obsessed with using my phone back then. This was the era when sneaking in your phone to school still made you look like a cool little rebel haha. Other than that, I remember repeating the first Twilight movie over and over just because I loved the books so much, and listening on my iPod. What music did you listen to? Paramore, Linkin Park, and Beyonce. Describe what your hair looked like. I had my hair layered around this time. Describe a typical outfit you'd wear. I started wearing nicer blouses, but my wardrobe still wasn’t all that remarkable. Describe a random memory from that year. Joining an academic quiz bee in school and winning first place. That made me cool for like a couple of weeks lol.

Five Years Ago

How old were you? 16. Lots of growing in those five years that passed. Where did you live? Same house I live in. Who did you live with? Same bunch of people, and still the same dog. Did you have any pets? Yes. It’s still only just him; Arlee didn’t join until 2-3 years later. Did you have a job? What was it or what was your dream job? Nah, I was too busy doing high school. Were you in school? If so, where did you go? Yes, I was in junior year. One of the better years, if you ask me. What was your relationship status? I started seeing Gab in the latter half of being 16. This, after believing I was gonna end up single for life haha. What were your favorite colors? I liked sky blue and black, I think. What were your hobbies? Watching wrestling was still a regular occurence for me back then. I was also into watching more movies and I remember briefly going back to my hobby of reading. It didn’t last long, though. What were your favorite TV shows? The Walking Dead. What music did you listen to? Ah, my punk rock phase. I’d listen to tons of Against Me!, H2O, The Bouncing Souls, Cro-Mags, The Misfits, and Rise Against. Describe what your hair looked like. Wavy. Nothing special. Describe a typical outfit outfit you'd wear. I stocked up on little black dresses and form-fitting items because this was the time I got into Audrey Hepburn and wanted to look like her. But the rest of my wardrobe was still meh. I SWEAR I only got conscious of my outfits by the time I got to college lmao. Who were your best friends? Angela, Sofie, and Gabie. Athenna was a good friend, too.

This Year!

How old are you? IIIIIIIi turned 21 this year. Where do you live? Same old house. Who do you live with? Same people, same dog, but now we have Arlee, my sister’s cat, too. Do you have any pets? Yes. I don’t claim Arlee as mine but I mean I still care for her, so. What is your relationship status? Still with Gab. Who are your best friends? Gab, Angela. I’ve also found a family in my orgmates. Do you have a job? What is it or what is your dream job? Not yet, but I definitely want to land somewhere in public relations or marketing. Do you attend school? Which school? Yep, I’m in my last year of college. I go to school in UP. What are your favorite colors? Pastel pink. I’ve toned down my obsession with black but it’s still one of my favorites. What are your favorite TV shows? Breaking Bad and Friends, def. I also like Queer Eye and have watched a few episodes of The Crown and Stranger Things. What music do you listen to? It’s a bit of everything. I’d listen to Disney songs, top 40, jazz, pop rock, R&B, and lofi. What are your hobbies? I still love coloring. I also like trying out new food, going out with friends, traveling, watching documentaries and reading about culture and history haha. Describe what your hair looks like. I’ve literally got no time to bother about styling it. It’s just been straight and frizzy for the last three years since I started college. Describe a typical outfit you'd wear. Something girly. I like tank tops and skinny jeans.

Your Future!

What job do you wish you could have? Already mentioned it a few questions ago. Do you want kids or do you already have kids? I want them. What are their names and ages? Or what do you want to name your kids? I’d name a daughter Olivia. If I had a boy I’d most likely go with naming it after my girlfriend’s dad. Are you married or do you wish to be married someday? I want to be married. Hi, Z-ers who still wanna get married exist! Do you drive a car? What car do you wish you could own some day? I do.

My thoughts on the 5th POTC movie, Dead Men Tell No Tales:

Shouldn’t Jack be around 60? He certainly doesn’t look 60. But then again, this is Johnny Depp we’re talking about.

Why is Will all fishy? Has he not been doing his job? In the “10 years later” scene from At World's End he looked normal...

How come this is the first time we hear about the Trident? I know it was just made up for this movie, but still...

So, On Stranger Tides happened fifteen years after At World's End!?

Who the hell is that witch? How come everyone knows her but she completely disappears from the movie after her introduction?

That's not how buildings work. And Jack must have burned off his pants and legs now.

Carina, reputed science woman, believes in the Trident.

What the hell is that red moon?

Jack has officially become a cartoon version of the character he used to be. Whatever happened to cunning Jack from the first movie?

How the hell does the compass free the ghosts?

Tia Dalma was the one who gave Jack the compass, not some other guy.

"Well, I wonder what epic tavern fight scene they'll engage in to get the compass back" "Oh doesn't matter the witch got it back right after he gave it away, somehow."

Seriously, Jack. What happened to you, man? Is it senile dementia+alcoholism? He's being getting dumber through the series.

The crew is just there to make sex jokes, isn't it?

If this was the Jack we all know and love, he would be trying to flirt with Carina, not tease Henry about liking her.

If that guy is the one that named Jack captain, shouldn't he also be the one to give him his nine piece of eight?

If every member of the crew gives him something for his outfit, it ruins the whole mystery of it.

Just because you throw a random piece of clothing to distract the sharks, doesn't mean they're not going to be distracted from it by you two going into the water.

The only moment we see the voodoo sword come into play is when they restore the Black Pearl. One would've thought it would become an important item to outrun or battle the ghosts.

Also, that's it? That's how you get the Pearl back? I hoped the adventure would center around it, being the fastest ship on the sea, as it could be the only one to face the ghosts, kind of how Will wanted the Pearl to get his father back... but nope.

Besides, it seems as if every ship now is as fast as the Pearl.

Of course Carina would turn out to be Barbossa's daughter... but when was she even conceived? She's around Henry's age, so she must've been conceived around At World's End, but at the end of it Jack and Barbossa parted ways and didn't meet again for many years... so how did Jack know Carina's mother?

So, Barbossa left his daughter a map leading to a treasure because he didn't think it was that important, and just wanted her to have the ruby?

If they let us know now that he has a daughter, is because they're gonna kill him in the end, isn't it?

That guy who's always with Salazar seems like he's just there for exposition.

I would've enjoyed the fight between Salazar and Sparrow a lot more if it wasn't so dark I couldn't distinguish between them.

How come Jack started going by Sparrow if Salazar gave him that nickname just before he died? How did he learn about it?

That magic island was kind of silly. What's the story behind it? We'll never know.

Carina and Henry flirting slightly is going to mean they're totally head over heels in love with each other at the end, isn't it? sigh.

Their legs should be bleeding after sliding on those rocks.

"Oh no, Henry's possessed!" "Oh wait now he's not."

That's a bit of a leap of faith to take, believing that by "dividing" the Trident every curse will be lifted.

I wonder what sort of epic fight will take place between the ghosts and the living... oh wait no Salazar just splashed Jack with water and Carina and Henry broke the Trident in two... that'll do it.

Of course Barbossa had to die. Once you're a parent in a Disney movie there's no escaping.

"Oh my God, you're my father. Oh my God, you're dead."

Weren't there other ways to get rid of Salazar? Jack we've seen you fight in the middle of a maelstrom, I'm sure you can fight on an anchor. You could've given us the epic battle this movie lacked of.

She says she's a Barbossa like she's all proud of it. BITCH YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIM.

Seriously, Carina and Barbossa barely talked in this movie. There was no bonding between them.

If ghosts can possess humans, why didn't they possess someone to kill Jack while they were on that island? Was it because they can only possess at sea?

Jack could've told Henry more about his parents and their adventures. I guess Elizabeth already told him most things, but c'mon: "well, there's that one time your mother killed me..." "Wait, what!?"; "and also your father betrayed me..." "Wait, what!?"; "Aye, I married your parents" "Wait, what!?" The comparisons between Henry and his parents is a wasted oportunity. They didn't even say anything when Jack pulled out his gun when Henry drew his sword at him in what was a clear parallel to the first movie.

Who's going to tell Carina now that her father used to be an undead creature? And literally dead once before? And killed by Jack?

Uh... that slap...

Finally, Will! Where were you when the ghosts were about to kill your son? I need an explaination...

Will's not going to acknoledge Jack, who's on a ship next to his, after everything they've been through and helping save him from his curse?

Where's Bootstrap Bill?

"The Dutchman must always have a captain", but not anymore, I guess. After all the time they spent reminding us in the original trilogy...

What happened to Will's heart? Did he grow a new one? What happened to the one in the chest? Did it die? Did it turn to dust? Seaweed? Is his old one still beating in the chest and keeping him alive? Did it return to Will's chest somehow? Is Will a different kind of zombie now? If that bit at the end means Davy Jones is back, is his heart the one in the chest at the moment?

Will and Elizabeth made me cry. It's been ten years for me but TWENTY ONE FOR THEM. They were the only thing I enjoyed about this movie, aside from the slapstick from the guillotine.

Didn't Elizabeth use to be blonde?

You're not even going to wave farewell at Jack?

Davy Jones is back... somehow.
