I dug my very first Wacom tablet out of the depths of my drawer, wanting to paint in Photoshop for the very first time in years because I randomly remembered I've got some neat textured brushes. Decided to go with Barb, because why not. 🏴‍☠️

[hellomagicalsouls]

also the whole fight about who the pearl belongs to absolutely pleases me to no end when it is literally jack's. like my guy sold his soul to the tentacle man and you're saying it's yours?? I'd shoot him too

but he's a dedicated soul and we love hector for it xoxo

In my writing I want to achieve one goal and one goal only: for the amount of polyamorous, gay gay and overall queer vibe to match whatever is going on in the pirates of the Caribbean film series

I think I know why Jack shooting Barbossa worked.

TLDR: moonlight resets the flesh facade. When it isn't reset prior to becoming mortal, Barbossa dies.

So even though they're affected by the curse during non-moonlight hours, they're only skeletal under the moonlight. And as observed, their flesh, whether more of a facade or truely, physically there, is susceptible to pain (ie with Pintel and Raghetti getting hot coals dropped on them during the Sack of Port Royal). The only sensations they don't feel are the pleasurable ones.

So we know Barbossa at the very least felt the shot. And if we take what Will and Elizabeth did too the three pirates they fought, we know that the flesh disappears in the moonlight and reappears once they are out of it. Hence why they were able to stick the skeletons together, stick a bomb in the ones ribcage, and have it blow them to smithereens.

The moon is the key here. Barbossa is shot, doesn't move, and Will puts the last two coins in the chest. Barbossa remains fleshy, he doesn't expose himself to moonlight. Hence, he became mortal with a gaping chest wound. The flesh finally became affected, as evidenced by him feeling the cool night air ("I'm... cold"). Meaning, blood flow is returning (as it appears that it wasnt present while cursed) and since Barbossa can't just step into the moonlight to reset his chest wound, he dies.

We see the same affect with Pintel. Pintel is shot by Barbossa to see if the curse is lifted with Elizabeths blood. He has a hole visible through his clothes, a theoretically he should die or at least be injured once the curs is broken. But there is no such evidence. Why? Because unlike Barbossa, Pintel was exposed to moonlight and became skeletal. And when he got his flashback, the wound was gone. From this wr can conclude the moonlight is what caused the wound to disappear, and had Barbossa stepped into it, he would've survived. But he didn't, so he died.

Look, I just HAD to make this when I saw it in my mind, ok?

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Hector Barbossa —Aesthetic

Captain Hector Barbossa's Character & Personality

Barbossa originally had earnest desires to be a man of the sea. Unfortunately, he became a greedy pirate because of his megalomania for wealth and power. Barbossa is confident, persuasive, ruthless and cunning. He combines experience with almost daring recklessness. Barbossa is grim and rough-edged, but has a knack for dry humor. He's also quite inspiring at pep-talking his mates and wise advice. At his worst he's cruel, wily, manipulative and bloodthirsty. Barbossa could be merciless and often turned agreements to his favor. Nevertheless, he has stated he has a merciful nature and a sense of fair play, but this is possibly his morbid sense of humour. However, Barbossa isn't completely without honor as he claimes to be a man of his word. He considers himself a gentleman and possesses a certain eloquence which he frequently uses to his advantage. Being vain, Barbossa likes to wear fine clothes, enjoys setting himself in scene and holding powerful speeches. Like many pirates, he considers the Pirate Code to be "more guidelines than actual rules". Yet, Barbossa respects the right of Parley and preferrs interpreting the Code in his favor instead of breaking it openly. Additionally, he has an apparent fearlessness, which could be interpreted as suicidal insanity; much to his crew's dismay. Like most pirates, Barbossa has a pet capuchin monkey, mockingly named "Jack" after Sparrow. He genuinely cares about the monkey and finds pleasure in petting or feeding him. "Jack" the monkey normally accompanies his master everywhere on his shoulder. Barbossa's favorite delicacy is caviar, but he also loves apples. This is a quite an expensive obsession since fresh fruit isn't commonly available in the Caribbean.
