Real-Time Fandub/Driftwood Saga | "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Dinghy" (2022)

[phoenixduelist]

His unceremonial rescue from his boat(A dingy) by the captain had him quickly placed on her substantially larger(and well-staffed) ship. While his boat got hooked up on the back and offered to her as thanks for putting a more substantial barrier between him and the dark abyss of the sea. Now having been put before the captain in her quarters, he still had his little smile, a nervous tick that he quite hardly could stop as he was happy to be alive, but imagined he might be quite horribly treated if he misstepped, she had already proven to be quite forward with her intentions.

He'd give a proper bow to her, his eyes never averting from hers during it. "Names Striker, I am no mariner of any royal, nor hold any allegiance to a country. I was on my vacation from a rather unfortunate shipping accident which left me only with the clothing on my back. I hope that you may permit me to stay well and dry so I may offer my services to you."

Her crew has long stopped questioning her sanity; they were given proof of how badly captivity has damaged her mind. The yelling from below was quite a distraction and a nuisance, not to mention a possible danger to their currently peaceful horizon. Of course the Captain was the one to take action with a snarled jump into the stranger's boat. It progressed as most encounters, Jancsi already covering his eyes from the upcoming events; no matter how many times she had done it, the throat tearing technique always made the marksman a little sick.

Only it never came. As much to their shock as hers. Instead the crew found themselves helping this man, this...serpentine creature onto the Vihar. Rozália wasn't done with her tests just yet, one slithering sentence wasn't enough to save someone only to prolong their death.

The silence in the quarters tense, she's at ease despite the stranger's- Striker's appearance. It was the good goddamned Caribbeans after all, supernatural wasn't a rarity and the dead tended to...not rest. A low hum, more akin to a growl accompanied by a smile too sharp.

“Seems like you have to introduce yourself a lot as you didn't leave any compromising opening.” she didn't speak like the typical pirate, all she had was the roughness of her accent to the otherwise as carefully crafted words

“Careful what you wish for, it might just be granted and you will find yourself longing for the soaked dinghy in a raging storm.” emerald glinted in the shades of the quarters; curiosity

“Maybe you could start by retelling that accident. And answering the crucial question: do you know who am I?” the last request was both looking for information and a test itself, with the prize being survival

POTC: Dead Man's Dinghy

Real-Time Fandub is a group of voice actors who dub popular things from memory. They are only missing one key component: A memory. Gazemaze in gazemazement as the plot starts out normal and improv changes it into something weird, unrecognizable, and shitpost-esque every time we slip on a line!

Favorite Images of Hook (Part Two - Disney’s Return to Neverland, 2002)

1. Image in the Clouds - This was SUCH a creative way for Disney to recap the first film without using any words, and I LOVE it--the star in place of Hook’s eye and the smaller ones that trace the line where the edge of his cravat would be are perfect. Even Tink’s trail of pixie dust forms the shape of a hook!

2. Hook in Jane’s Room -  One of the things I love most about Hook is his grandiosity, and this image shows that part of him perfectly. He looks so proud of himself. The mustache twirling seems to be a habit of his when he’s either thinking or feeling rather smug. Definitely the latter going on here.

3. Hugging Smee - This is another scene that I really like because of the vulnerability it shows as well as further highlighting his relationship with Mr. Smee. Hook seems to seek out physical touch for reassurance when he is afraid both in the first film and the sequel. Heck, here he doesn’t even wait for Smee to come to his aid but reaches out in desperation and drags Smee into a hug. This man is so clearly touch-starved that it breaks my heart. 

4. Dinghy in the Mist - This shot...y/all, this looks like it belongs in a Pirates of the Caribbean film. The lighting and the mist give it such an eerie, mysterious mood as Hook slowly comes into focus.

5. Hook’s Close-Up in the Forest - This is probably my absolute favorite shot of Hook from either film. It would be a hard choice, but if I had to pick just one, this would be it. Some shots of Hook look rather silly, but this one feels very human. His eyes are soft and warm. His smile is charming. And while he might be acting in the moment, we see who he COULD have been if he’d chosen a different path in life. 

6. Giving Jane the Whistle - This is sort of cheating since it isn’t actually an image of Hook himself but rather a close-up of the claw and his hand as he passes off the whistle to Jane, but I think it holds a lot of significance. Jane is drawn to Hook because of their similarities and, quite possibly, the similarities she sees between him and her own father--a military man. This gesture of handing over the whistle is done so tenderly that it might well have reminded Jane of Edward giving her something special to hold onto as he went off to war. Again, I recognize that Hook is using this connection to his advantage, but I think it also offers another glimpse of the man he might have been.

7. The Bosun’s Chair/Dead Man’s Cave - I love everything about this shot--the  elegance of his perch on the bosun’s chair, the little smirk on his face. My only question is...what the heck are the ropes attached to???

8. Hook Laughing - I’m sure by now you’re probably sensing a theme... Look, I know this is supposed to be a villainous laugh, but I just like it when Hook smiles, okay? 

9. Jane Tries to Get the Key - This scene is almost upsetting to me because let’s be real, Hook NEVER stops moving for very long. He’s a super active character, and seeing him laid out on the deck in the midst of battle, well...quite frankly, it looks like he’s dead. It’s unsettling and unusual, and while I don’t like the thought of Hook dying, I like the image because it brings a bit of gravity to his potential plight. 

10. Final Showdown with Jane - There are honestly several scenes from the final showdown that I really like, and it was hard to choose just one. This Hook is far more dangerous than the one we see in the first film. When he first pops up from being knocked unconscious, he has the hook around Jane’s wrist and nearly lops HER hand off, then quickly makes a stab at her (barely missing) and eventually ends up pinning her to the past with the claw around her neck. This is pretty intense stuff for a Disney film. But I think my favorite moment is when he’s up on the spar, drawing his sword as he slowly backs Jane closer and closer to the edge. His hair is blowing across his face in the wind and he has this wild, dangerous look about him that too often we forget exists in the moments of comedy.

Today’s tiny OFMD AU brought to you by the Pirates of the Caribbean-induced brain rot I’ve had since age 11 (and specifically by a certain scene in Dead Man’s Chest):

Let’s say it’s still firmly breakup-era, but Stede and Ed have been circling each other—helping each other out on raids, some light cat and mouse shenanigans, one or two emotionally fraught and darkly flirtations sword fights. Let’s say one night a dinghy pulls up to the Revenge, and it’s Captain Hornigold, Ed’s old captain, here to check in on how his protege is doing and be a general ominous cloud of veiled violence and danger. He doesn’t overstep Ed’s authority as captain, exactly, but it’s clear his reputation and age have weight with the crew and it’s absolute hell on Ed to keep his feet under him as his old captain insinuates himself into Ed’s life and chain of command. Even Izzy is nervous with Hornigold around, and Ed is having a bit of a crisis about it.

Let’s say Stede chooses this time to try and take back the Revenge—it’s happened a couple of times before, it’s the closest to flirting he and Ed get these days so might as well give it a go. It’ll piss Izzy off, anyway. He doesn’t know about Hornigold.

Stede’s half-hearted little raid goes about as well as anyone expected, only it’s different this time, Ed is visibly on edge, trying to get Stede and whoever he brought with him out of there before anyone else sees—but Hornigold sees, of course, old sea dog never seems to sleep, and he praises Ed for putting down such a worthless attempt at a takeover. The Gentleman Pirate, Hornigold presumes, looking Stede over, eyes glittering as he turns to Ed. You know what the punishment is for daring to step up to a better pirate and failing, don’t you, boy? If gutting him is too much for Ed’s weak stomach?

Ed finds himself with a lash in one hand and the smooth expanse of Stede Bonnet’s back, the shirt ripped in half off of it, before him, and a sick sense of nausea in what Hornigold expects him to do. And if Ed won’t do it, Hornigold chuckles, well, Ed’s old captain is more than happy to take charge.

Ed raises the lash.

I wrote this 2 yrs ago so here take it

It's hard to describe someone's last few moments alive. So, I will try to make this quick. The boy knew he was going to die, there was no hope left in that young heart of his. I could say that it gave him peace. That he faced death with bravery and fearless eyes. That, however, was not the case. He sat shivering and sobbing in the frigid night's air as molten black waves crashed bitterly against the small, barely floating dinghy carrying him away from a flaming wreck sinking miserably into the sea. The only part of him that was still was his left hand, clinging desperately onto a worthless trinket around his neck. Others were babbling and whispering half-forgotten prayers around him. Betraying the tranquillity of the night with promises of death. Their cries reminded him of the blessing of dying alone.

The only ones not pleading for God's mercy were the ones acting out their last few moments. They were pirates, not to be confused with Captain Hook's jolly, if not dimwitted crew, but disgusting, dreaded, rotten filth of men. Although I expect that to be an insult to filth. With mix-matched sneers of yellow and gold, they looked on at their prisoners with a look more accustomed to hyenas than men. The burning skeleton of the once proud ship heaved out a groan of discontent as it gave one last look to the sky before disappearing from the world of men. Its last breath suddenly reminded its now shackled Captain of the word courage.

"You bastards. You bloody bastards!" he growled. "You have us sit here and wait for our death like cattle to be slaughtered! If now be the time of our end, then so be it. But have honour and let us die with hon-".

He was cut short. Literally. His last dying word was a mixture of honour and some primal word of pain.

A weaselly pirate of no significance had cut his throat with an artful grace never wielded by a man of his profession. I sometimes think that the dead captain had gotten stupidity confused for courage. The boy watched on in silence as the pirates shoved his Captain's bloody body overboard into the dark bellow and gripped evermore tightly onto the pendant around his neck. His crewmates were now unnaturally quiet. Seeing one's throat slit can do that to you. I don't blame you for thinking you would have done things differently. Maybe tried to fight back, take a few of them by surprise or even think of some frightfully clever trick to escape to freedom. I do, however, blame you for pretending you actually would. In any case, the boy did what any reasonable and terrified person would do. He did and said nothing. He continued to say and do nothing, as they approached a most formidable beast.

It was built from tangled and manipulated limbs of wood. A rash of red and orange danced across its sides and crept upwards towards the midnight sky. Scurrying and slinking pests of human likeness hollered and yelped from their place in its mangled webs. If you haven't guessed it by now, or too lazy to think for yourself, this beast was a horrifying ship. A ship that was feared throughout the West Indies and even beyond. It was the Medusa. There had never been a ship like it, and we should be thankful no ship has ever come close again.

If there had been any misplaced hope of a life beyond this night in the boy's heart, it had defiantly forsaken him now. The prisoners were hurled on board. Shoved this way and that. Until they were roughly forced to their knees in the shadow of a dark-skinned, dark-eyed man, who was not to be confused with Captain Hook or even his own filthy crew. This man was in a league of his own. Destined to wander, plunder and wreak havoc across the Caribbean seas. His eyes were charcoals lit by dying embers and fueled by anger and hatred. There was no love, no mercy, not even a hint of humanity in his face. A grin of malice reached like a sickle from one side to the other, his teeth shining like pearls in the flames that surrounded them. He was tall, lean and dressed in Prussian blue that did little to hide the deadly weapon that was his own body. This was not just a captain among the crew. No, this was a king among thieves. And with such sight, that boy's worthless trinket became his most prized possession.

Now I know I said I would make this quick, but I think it is best to leave vile words unsaid, and for us to visit a happier world; far from the terrible deeds we now leave. A world of flowing fields, soft summer breezes and a young girl writing a letter to her dear brother, who would sadly never receive it. She too still processed what her brother had called a misshapen lump of silver. It was placed softly in front of her, graced by the light of a candle. With kind eyes, she gazed at its features. A sun and moon locked in a familiar hug, a brother and sister miles apart but always together. With a small sigh of longing, she turned the pendant over to see a sun of silver smiling back at her. It was as she signed her name, a bullet ripped through the boy's heart.

The Captain got quite the rowdy cheer for that. Ordering his crew to finish the rest off, he strolled away from the welcoming sight of another British sailor limp and bloody, towards his personal quarters. Once safety behind his closed doors, with the jagged song of cries and gunshots, he fished within his coat pocket. As his fingers graced upon the item he sought, a true smile of forgotten happiness struggled to make its way onto his dark features. In his hands was a lump of silver, flattened and engraved with a sun and moon. With a cold moon staring disapprovingly at him from the other side.

May 7th,2017

I bought my ticket to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales at the AMC in Downtown Disney at Disneyland at 7 on May 25th. It's nearing finals, I'm a film student, so I've been thinking a lot about technical things with films and their stories etc. I've been a Pirates of the Caribbean fan since my first trip to Disneyland as a toddler, and a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise since the release of Curse of the Black Pearl when I was 11. All of this pales in utter significance to the fact that I've been a fan of these movies forever and have just made the connection to something that tells you exactly how each story is going to go, which makes me curious to see how this goes in the new one. Each new film in the franchise has a special introduction of Captain Jack into the story, and if you pay attention to that introduction it tells you exactly how the story will end. (Okay, maybe not ALL the specifics but it gives a good clue) Take Curse of the Black Pearl for instance, it's not only our first introduction to Captain Jack Sparrow himself, but also tells how the story will go. Captain Jack starts out strong and riding high, he sees a leak in his boat and tries to save his boat, eventually he is forced to give up and climbs back up, but then starts to sink again, but ultimately walks away unscathed. In the movie he starts out great on top of the world, then things start to turn against him (we all know the story) but by the end he is up again, but then gets taken back to be hanged. But ultimately he gets away completely unharmed and in his ship. In Dead Man's Chest, he is introduced inside of a coffin, at the end he gets "eaten" by the Kraken. In At World's End, he is alone, at the end he is "alone" because Will is the new Davy Jones, Elizabeth is with him, and at the very end he is all by himself in a Dinghy. In On Stranger Tides, he is introduced as a Judge, at the end he is the judge of who lives and who dies between Black Beard and Angelica. I'm sitting here lile, how did I miss this all this time? It was so clear. So now I'm curious as to how they will introduce him into Dead Men Tell No Tales and to see if i can figure out the ending before I see it.

on palestine.

before we return to regular dubposting, I'd like to remind you all of a couple of things - if you live in countries allied with Israel please talk to your politicians. if you can help it, support the #BDSMovement and not Israel-backed businesses.

consider donating to the UN Crisis Relief in Gaza if you are able to do so.

talk to people who support Israel, or even blame "both sides" as if this was an actual war and not a mass genocide. go out in the streets and find any protests happening in your area, or organize your own. stay loud about this subject and let the world know you don't stand for this. international opinion is already very against this attack, so add to those voices.

you likely have the privilege to stay away from the news cycle and the noise, but take a break if it's breaking your brain too much. the world will still be in turmoil when you get back. we need folks to be focused, not disoriented.

I encourage you to mute the account for a while if you don't want to have any dissonance on this platform as I get back to posting, but if you need to know more about the situation in Gaza, I'll be sharing resources and further information on my main account @innerlmnt.

Gaza needs support. Palestinians deserve to live. Israel deserves to face the consequences for its long and arduous occupation of indigenous land and its people. Don't let history forget about this.

as one very tentacled man would say:

"This pisses me off!" - Davy Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Dinghy

thank you for hearing me out and for spreading the word. it means a lot. support palestinians. free gaza.

now back to dubposting.
