"I do not think James Norrington knows where the clit is, but he sure as hell thinks he does. And you might say "Oh, that's because it's the 1720s no one knew where or what the clit was" and like first off WRONG and second off, you don't get it. It's important for James, as a character, to not know where the clit is, and it's also important that he thinks that he knows. All versions of James Norrington be they modern or not are fundamentally unaware of the clit. My supreme hot take is that James Norrington does not dabble in orgasms -- only in disappointment; It is his fatal flaw, and only tragedy awaits him."

"norrington's one of my favs but the way some parts of his fandom act like his death is something that serves no point cuz it was tragic and senseless feels like a big woosh moment that makes me kind of embarrassed
like yeah its sad and unfair he dies welcome to at worlds end it is basically a tragedy anyway did you not see how the entire movie begins w sequences of senseless death and also pins its climax on senseless death that's the point it's why elizabeth's dad dying matters so much and esp why it matters that norrington didn't change sides until it started hurting people close to him and why he himself says he's not absolved from his other sins the ravages of capitalism doesn't give a shit about you and letting it chew the world up means you will eventually get caught in its teeth too thats the entire point of the story
its supposed to be sad and make you think about the consequences of being complicit in a messed up system the tragedy isn't that he died it's that he ever thought it was worth it to betray everyone and join beckett in the first place"
my thing with jack is like I do find him tragic just not on the surface level I don't think people finding him generally distasteful disliking him and throwing him to eldritch beings to save their own skin is sad I think it's funni I laugh when these things happen to him. the tragedy of jack is that he's become such a piece of shit throughout his long sordid life that he Does deserve every bad thing that comes his way. like the tragic character isn't present day jack sparrow the tragic character is the misty lady's cabin boy who maybe could have been dealt just a slightly better hand by life. I'm not sad because he's being killed and eaten I'm sad because if he had been just a smidge more well adjusted or if one of the several formative incidents hadn't happened I'd feel worse for him when everything we see happen on screen happens to him. you know. this evil bug creature makes me mentally unwell I fear
she/he, here for the yuri and the cool bugs
