#ahahahahaha NO #because potc is about the ways people become pirates—and it’s always wanting that drive them there #that’s what piracy is about—the chance to chase that wanting; to cut corners and simply aim yourself at what you desire #but you have to want; you have to want so badly and relentlessly that you will get blood and tar beneath your nails and forsake all claim to #land and family and sanity and safety #and elizabeth’s arc is the story of her slowly cutting those ties; of discovering and becoming this creature who can simply chart her way to #the horizon; who can aim herself at her desires and take and !@#$%^&* all else #she wants Will and so she marries him; dresses up as a man to go after him; offers herself to barter him back #she wants to live; to survive; and so she chains Jack to the mast because there is no other way #and when she wants a war—when she wants to challenge the might of the East India Company for the freedom of the seas—then she becomes a Pirate King and orders her men into battle #the governor’s daughter who was choked by a corset in the first movie leads an army against the mighty economic and social power of the British Empire in the last #the movies are her journey; not Jack’s or Will’s #they are her learning to say ‘bring me that horizon’ #(also I love that Jack always saw her for what she was; her capacity for wanting and destruction) #(also guess who cut her out of the corset in the first place?)
