serious question: what is Jack and Esmeralda’s ship name. what should it be. I am reading The Price of Freedom and must know.

Sparata? (Sparrow/Pirata)

Esmerrow? (Esmeralda/Sparrow)

Sparralda? (Sparrow/Esmeralda)

you know what I’ll just poll it

we must convene the Brethren Court on this serious matter. 🫡

revisting this because i have to ramble

imagine. imagine for a moment. that the compass was pointing away from the Pearl. away from the Kraken.

away from Death.

what Jack is scared of the most, especially at this point, is his incoming death. it would then make sense that what he wants most is to get away from it, wouldn't it?

and yet. and yet...he comes back to the Pearl...to his crew. despite Death flailing its slippery, slimy tentacles all over the deck of his ship. despite the Devil himself standing just out of the way, watching. despite his demise creeping ever closer.

going back spelled Death for Jack- Jack, whose fear of death exceeds the normal amount. he is no stranger to Death. he's died before. but he knows there will be no getting out of it- not this time.

this time...time's up.

and he still goes back.

and he greets Death with nothing more than a bared smile.

I fucking adore the ambiguity of this scene in Dead Man’s Chest, I love that they never show us what Jack’s Compass pointed to and so we get to decide if he went back because that’s what he wanted most or if he went back because he chose to do so. I’m especially a fan of the latter interpretation because there’s a deleted extended convo he has with Will in AWE in which he tells Will that “life is a series of choices” that are made of what you won’t do and what you will do and so the thought of Jack choosing to face potential death head on just to save his friends is (┬┬﹏┬┬)

Barbossa:...
