⤷ female, ambiguous race, and any size reader. Requests are open, thank you for reading!    

Warnings: swearing, mentions of violence, death, a wholesome father figure (rare!!!), piracy, anti-hero activity... ughh oh blood, sacrifice, maybe even blood sacrifice :), I have a nsfw section as well

a/n: Thank you to the anon who requested this! I’ve been wanting to write for Tia Dalma for so long but didn’t know where to start honestly (she’s one of my favourite characters and I didn’t want to do her any injustices!)

Me and the Devil by Soap&Skin

𝑺𝑭𝑾🌿

・You’ve always been curious

・And unlike Elizabeth, who you practically grew up with, your curiosity spanded across many subjects - not just pirates. 

・Your curiosity ranged from how carriages were made to where the best places are to plant seeds. How to bake and cook, to how to lead an army. 

・There was a bit of romance between your mother and Governor Swann, as your father and Elizabeth’s mother had both died.

・So in your youth, you spent a lot of time with Elizabeth Swann, who constantly wanted to play pirates. She was always the captain, and you, the second mate

・As you grew older, the separation between classes became very apparent. Even though you and your mother were well-off, giving you a sheltered life, Elizabeth was almost ... groomed, for something better

・And you watched as your best friend was whisked into learning new languages, how to act like a lady, and so on

・Your mother re-married a man who had travelled to Port Royal to be in the Governor’s inner circle, and he was quiet with you for a while

・It took some time for you to get used to each other, but he was always curteous to you and soon you started to look at him as a father figure

・He taught you a lot of the things that you wanted to know 

・Things that your mother always scoffed at 

・In a way, you were the son he always wished he had 

・He taught you how to handle a blade, how to shoot a pistol and the basics on how to defend yourself. Everything that soldiers were taught. 

・When he had to go away for the Governor, he always brought back a momento for your mother, and for you

・Each time he brought something back, it fuelled your need for adventure, to get out into the world and experience things. Call it Rapunzel syndrome, because your mother always said the world was cruel and there was nothing out there for you

・But you had this innate need ... to discover

・And when the attack on Port Royal happened and Elizabeth was taken, you were furious. Utterly delirious with anger. How could that happen? She was the Governor’s daughter!

・Your step-father was the one to push you to go on this adventure

・So you went with Will and Jack to rescue her. You realised why Elizabeth was so obsessed with pirates. They had freedom. 

・And that’s exactly what you wanted...

・So you allowed yourself to be swept up in the world of piracy 

・It wasn’t until a year later, that you met Tia Dalma

・When Jack went to seek help with his mark from Davy Jones

・When you looked at her, the wind was knocked out of you. It felt like you had fallen from a ladder and landed on your back. And a second later, you actually were on the ground. 

・You awoke to Jack’s face, “you alright, love?” 

・As well as Gibbs fanning your face 

・But it wasn’t until you saw the face of Tia Dalma that you fully came to

      “I see ... my future in you.” 

・And that was where it began

・You were soulmates, Tia Dalma could feel like. Just like all the other things she could feel; like with Will, she knows the destiny by just looking at someone. 

・Your relationship developed quickly as Tia Dalma didn’t see the importance in ‘courting’ you, so to speak

・Her pull to you was so strong that she couldn’t be held back by courties and traditions 

・She knew you were destined to be together, no matter what. That something pulled you to her for a reason

・And you could feel it too. Like being in her presence was the only thing that made sense. That even though she seemed like the most alien person on earth, she was the most normal to you. 

・You decided to stay with Tia Dalma, and pursue what was going on in each of your hearts

・While doing this, Jack did task you with learning some magical abilities (”An order from your captain!) as he put it. 

・To aid him in his fight against Davy Jones (which you agreed to. Somehow justifying it as the reason to stay with Tia Dalma). 

・And with the time you spent with her ... you fell in love ... 

・She smells like patchouli, sage and bay leaves

・Tia Dalma braids trinkets into your hair, like small shells, gemstones and/or a feather. 

・You go to the beach often, and spend hours there together. 

・While there, she talks about her past, where she’s come from and what she’s endured.

・She tells you about Davy Jones and her, that she’s really the goddess Calypso. That they fell in love, that he was supposed to do his duties and guide the souls of the sea to their resting place

・But she makes you swear - a blood promise, not to tell anyone.

・The story made you cry; only a single tear. However, when it slid down your cheek, Tia reached out and wiped it, licking her finger with the tear upon it

     “I was right... you are connected to me...somehow.”

・In your days away from your crew, you realised how much time it had been since you last saw your mother and more notably, your stepfather. 

・You asked Tia if she had any way of getting a letter to Port Royal and all she did was smirk

    “Mi Heart, I can get a message to anyone...” 

・She whistled and a raven flew onto her shoulder. It nibbled her outstretched finger and you smiled. 

・This woman was going to change your life.

Destined Love // Soulmates

𝑯𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒆𝒕 𝑵𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒀𝒐𝒖

Mi Heart, Mi World, Gorgeous, Beautiful. 

She is a soothsayer for a reason, and able to make anything sound like a loveable nick name. It’s hard not to blush when she says such affectionate things, and the tone she uses makes you melt. 

𝑯𝒆𝒓 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒈𝒆

Physical Touch, Words of Affection and Acts of Service.

We know Tia is a witch with the powers of voodoo magic. She loves to touch your face, fix your hair, make sure your clothes are sitting right etc. She also loves to hear how much you love her (it’s the goddess side in her), verbal praise is a big thing for Tia Dalma. And with acts of service, that comes from how she shows her love. She does a lot of spellwork for you, to aid you in every area in your life. 

𝑵𝑺𝑭𝑾 🔞minors dni!

・Tia was your first sexual encounter, and I’m talking even the first time being kissed. Well, kissed by someone you’re attracted to. 

・Tia knows a lot about sex, sexual desires and pleasure

・So she knows exactly how to get you ... going

・Most of the time, all it takes is to whisper in your ear, and a nibble on your earlobe. Then you’re like putty in her hands

・With your consent, she would introduce kinks into the bedroom

・Not major ones, unless you became more and more curious

・Then she would have no issue bringing in more ... intense kinks

・Possibly blood play, but it would surprise you to know, that Tia would only do that when you know you want to bind yourself to each other. 

    “Blood is our lifeforce,” she said in her distinct accent, the trinkets in her locs tinkling as she walked towards you, “and when shared, it is a bond that cannot be broken.” 

・She’s nearly always the one in charge; telling you what to do, how to touch her. 

・Once you learn though, you start to take charge in small ways. 

・And Tia Dalma starts to like it

・The way you firmly hold her against you

・The bites that are harsher than normal

・When you push her against the wall and kiss her passionately you can feel her smiling

afro-latino James Potter is arguably my favorite James Potter

James habla español y no puedes hacerme cambiar de opinión. 😩😩

(James speaks Spanish and you can't change my mind)

[zoufantastical]

Not all POC are allies to other POC. Sometimes are fights are our own. Look at this post’s comments for example.

Apparently wanting representation and not having casting directors think we as latine are interchangeable is equivalent to *checks notes* calling Mexicans… “wetbacks that are stealing jobs”???

I’m just gonna repeat once more that if you’re not for us, you’re against us. There’s no reason to be fine to have blatant colorism and latine discrimination happen right before our eyes. Especially when Afro Caribbean representation is so minimum. I’m just gonna assume y’all are in some deep racism.

A film set to unwinnable expectations. Too “woke” for having Halle Bailey play Ariel; not “woke” enough because it is still a classic fairytale written by Hans Christian Andersen in 1837, where a princess falls in-love with a prince.

What I saw was a fabulous live-action adaptation. The acting & music is truly on-point.

Disney also added backstory to the Prince, which was very worthwhile storytelling. Visually, it was a stunning movie. The water effects on the hair are a sight-to-behold. And if you’ve seen Pirates of the Caribbean, it is that style/mood mixed with Disney magic & great songs.

Though the 2023 live-action will never be our cartoon imagination from childhood, the original film from 1989 will always be there for us to watch over-and-over again.

However, if you watch the other live-action Disney adaptations, this one truly is the best one by far. Some just want to hate it for whatever reason.

Halle Bailey did a phenomenal job as Ariel & I saw many African American kids in the audience at the theatre. Representation matters ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Go see The Little Mermaid!! It is the right film for the moment — a moment where Disney is being banned in Florida.

Sing & celebrate under the sea with this truly amazing film!! Go Halle Go!! Our Disney heroine 🧜🏾‍♀️
