Barbossa from Pirates of the Caribbean

Name: Hector Barbossa Age: 50 Profession: Harbormaster Pronouns: He/Him FC suggestions: Sean Bean, Idris Elba, Liam Cunningham Face Claim: Geoffrey Rush Availability: Taken

Hector's family had lived in this godforsaken town as long as he could remember. His father had been the Harbormaster for decades before a son had been even a thought and before him, so had his grandfather and his grandfather before that. This town was where good men go to die. Hector's mother had said that.

Good thing he'd never been a good man.

What miserable trade the town took part in went through the docks. No man with a lick of sense would take the land route here. Not with the treachery of the winds and rain that haunted visitors. It skulked in the shadows of townsfolk and tourists alike until it ran out the latter.

The sea was different. You could trust the stars, feel the breath of the sea in each rise and fall of the waves. Hector had worked those waters before he'd taken his father's place. He'd sailed the ferry ships for tourists around the coast, navigated the old fishing vessels, his sweat and blood had mixed with the ocean and so he too was a part of it.

Of course, his blood had found home other places. Too many a barfights in his youth earned him a stool at the seedy joints. Unless he had a bribe to take, he didn't frequent the upscale bars. No point in taking up space where one isn't wanted. He'd already earned a reputation as a salty bastard. It'd grown on him.

As it came to be, he was a man of many hats. If something needed to be brought into the town unnoticed, money needed to end up in Barbossa's hand. A shipment could go missing easily if no one knew to look for it. If a body needed to be disposed of, few locals braved the water past the shoals. If the current took it, it'd never wash up near enough Godscobh to raise any brows. This life of backroom deals had set him up nicely, and he had no complaints.

Only aspirations of more.

Notable character information: Barbossa's selfish desires cost them everything in the end.

Gale: A natural impulse to try and shield one’s loved ones from danger, especially when you feel a moral compunction to run head-first towards it.

[marzfartz]

I cannot begin to explain how many times I've reread this fic already, if you haven't already I highly recommend reading @astereaes's Better Halves (and other such falsehoods)

[buttercupshands]

I NEED HER SO BADD

[cairafea]

On the idea of Theseus's Ship: in the end, it's still his, isn't it? It was known as Theseus's, and it will continue to be known as Theseus's.

Even after he has returned to the ground which grew the wood of the hammer used to nail the ship's frame, Even after generations of new wood have rotted and the sails are rags clinging to threads, Even after millennia,

it will still be Theseus's Ship.

Thank you for bringing us home.

Goodnight, Phosphophyllite.

Alice from Alice in Wonderland

TW DRUG, DEATH MENTION

Name: Alice Liddel Age: 27 Profession: Employee at Wonderland Crazy Golf & Indoor Maze Pronouns: She/Her Face Claim: Antonia Gentry Availability: Taken

Born into a relatively wealthy family, Alice was far from the prim and proper young lady her mother expected her to be. No she was the girl who ran amok, scraped knees and mud lacing her dress, much to the disapproval of her mother and older sister. The young girl was imaginative and came up with the wildest stories. Her father was always the one to encourage her, believing it to be her greatest strength. Alice had a penchant for art, he was the one to help cultivate that talent. So she created worlds of her own in her head, dragged anyone she could into for just a moment.

Everything was simply wonderful, until her father passed. So sudden that it rocked the entire Liddell family to its core. Suddenly one of the only people who truly understood Alice was gone, she was beside herself. To say she went off the deep end was an understatement. Nothing seemed to alleviate the grief. Eventually her mother started doubling down on her efforts to turn Alice into a proper young lady. That was the last thing Alice wanted, her sister was proper enough for the both of them. It was soon after this that she found pixie dust, it could change her life she was told. That was exactly what she needed.

Once she got a taste there was no going back. The places it takes hers, the things she sees. A veritable wonderland is what it is. She hid it well enough from her family at first. However she couldn't deny when her sister found her half strung out, talking to herself and trying to climb onto the roof. Her mother was furious. Imagine the scandal, she said. What would father think, she said. Alice doesn't remember what was said after that, just a lot of yelling that resulted in her no longer living with them. So she was on her own now. It was a mad dash to find a job and less than desirable apartment, but it beats being on the streets. She uses pixie dust more than ever at this point it doesn’t seem like she’ll ever stop.

Notable character information: Alice is suffering with an addiction to Pixie Dust and having hallucinations.

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappé (2006, p. 72)

The rhetoric from Israel and their defenders really hasn't changed one bit, has it? Months and months of terrorizing Palestinian villages, and the moment they retaliate, it must be because the Arabs are violent Nazis set to exterminate the oh-so-peaceful Zionist settlers for no other reason than them being Jewish

And what were the Zionists settlers - with Ben-Gurion's explicit approval - doing at the time?

Pappé (2006, p. 58)

Similarly, in the villages:

Pappé (2006, p. 57)

Still the same playbook, 75+ years later...

Also, it's important to understand that these violent attacks against Palestinian cities and villages - and there were many more in the winter of 47/48 than the examples included here - were part of a larger, deliberate operation meant to 'drive out' (i.e. ethnically cleanse) the Native population of Palestine. It didn't matter if the Palestinians were just quietly living their life in the countryside; if they were not Jewish, they would had to go. And if the Zionists could not find a pretext for retaliation, they would make one.

In the aftermath of the UN partition, this operation of ethnic cleansing - without 'pretext' - was not only openly discussed, but approved of, by Ben-Gurion and the rest of the Zionist leadership:

Pappé (2006, p. 64)

What we're seeing today in Gaza - with the collective punishment of 2 million Palestinians - is the continuation of this very same Zionist program of ethnic cleansing that Israel was founded on.
