i had nothing to do with your father’s death. but that does not absolve me of my other sins.

#YES YES YES I ALMOST POINTED OUT THE LIGHTING TOO#i would say that elizabeth also offered him a lifeline in tortuga and he DID take it but he was still halfway set on pointless revenge#on jack (despite what happened post-cotbp being 100% entirely his fault and him damn well knowing it)#unclear if he would have actually done anything other than be a royal bitch to jack forever & ever amen before he sees the letter of marque#and when he's given THAT “lifeline” he clings to it with every fiber of his being even as it cuts into him. even as it binds him.#because it wasn't really a lifeline but he wasn't willing to give up Everything From Before yet#then she proffers this last lifeline because damn it all she JUST lost her father and even though she knows what james has done#she does not want to lose them both; to lose her last real tie to that life though she has rejected every other aspect of it#and he's finally maybe ready to say “fuck it” and take this leap but alas the narrative fucking Gets Him#anyway. glad to see that the norrington hivemind has logged the fuck on today#and yes well done op making the insane lighting choices in this movie look good (more excellent tags from @dying-suffering-french-stalkers)
