Firestar:
- The orange cat supreme. The cat who ruled Thunderclan for like 20 books. The hero of the first series. The one who's descendants' family drama still shakes the whole forest every six months. Everyone's related to him but somehow one of his great-grand-kids is more pressured to be like him than everyone else. He's chill.
Crookedstar:
- Everything. He went through literally EVERYTHING. Emphasis on the everything. Everyone he loves died and he's been convinced it was his fault and that's only the beginning. Do you know why he's called crooked- instead of a normal name? Because when he was a baby he was attacked by a crazy cat who broke his jaw and it never healed straight and his own MOTHER asked the clan leader ot change his name to Crookedkit which shouldn't have happened even by clan standards.
Elizabeth:
- Lizzy here goes from 17yo upper class daughter to Pirate King in like 5 years?! And that includes going home to be the perfect daughter for a bit. She was mistaken for a goddess and out witted so many more experienced pirates. Shout out the Captain Jack Sparrow for getting her elected!
#misinformation for that crookedstar propaganda: he wasnt attacked by another cat#he was chased off by a grumpy doctor and in his haste he fell into the river and banged his face on a rock#his mother was very ableist about it#anyway vote crookedstar because hes such a sweetheart who has the only canon romance in warrior cats i can stand#polls#potc#warriors#firestar#crookedstar

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

“One of the most interesting things about Elizabeth Turner was her Kiss of Death. Throughout the trilogy, all of the men she locked lips with has died - including Sao Feng in At World’s End, and (if you want to be petty about it) her father, Weatherby Swann. Usually they would die moments after kissing her for the first time. This excludes Will Turner who has kissed her several times before and beat the odds every time. However, even he succumbed to her kiss and died as well minutes after the two were hastily married by Barbossa. This is most likely a just coincidence and not something that was intentional, but years later it’s still fun to point out to friends and watch a dawn of realization hit their face when they realize that Pirate Queen Elizabeth may have also been the Grim Reaper.”
Alot of people seem to miss these two additional details:
- The kiss of death only works when she’s on a boat (she never kissed Will on a boat until their wedding)
- When the effect does kick in, the killing is preformed by the crew of the Dutchman.
When Jack died, he was killed by the Kraken, summoned by Davy Jones.
When Sao Feng died, was by the damage from the canons of the Dutchman
When Norrington died, it was by Bootstrap Bill, a member of it’s crew.
And when Will died, it was directly by the hands of Davy Jones.
One more thing that has struck me as odd is when she interracts with Davy Jones, he acts as if he’s seen her somewhere before. When the Empress crew point her out as the captain he has a sort of “wtf, you, you are their captain?” reaction, now you could just shake that of as Davy Jones being a misogynistic but i don’t doubt he’s seen female pirate captains before, given how long he’s lived. And when they come face to face on the Dutchman, it feels like a meeting between sworn long time enemies (at least to me).
Elizabeth, what the hell are you even and what exactly is your connection to the Dutchman.
Well…
If the Dutchman and Davy Jones are the canonical undertaker of all sailors, then Elizabeth is the one who marks them. Which makes it very, very poetic that she marries the man who takes over as captain of the Flying Dutchman.
I will remind you all that at the very beginning of the trilogy, Elizabeth is the only one who can see the Black Pearl, which at that point is considered a ghost ship.
And we find out later that Davy Jones resurrected the Pearl from its place on the ocean floor in a deal with Jack.
So whatever her connection is, it long predates her adulthood.
