tumblr users abnormal lust is a gift, something to cherish. i remember like 8 fixation cycles ago on my third back pirates of the carribean obsession i came across this one poster lusting after Mr Gibbs so strongly and now whenever i watch the movies i go "huh look at that fuckable old man in the back over there" and it enriches my viewing experience

At the beginning of CBP, we see Gibbs, good ole Gibbs, who’s part of the ship which carries the Swanns, and he’s got those words:
And since it’s all about cursed pirates indeed this movie... we can wonder what he knows about it? Then when it comes to taking the Pearl back, Jack goes to him first. And even tho he isn’t (that we know) cursed himself, it’s kinda weird don’t you think? He knows about the curse, he’s got contacts in all pirateeing ports, he basically lives in Tortuga, he’s got the trust of Jack Sparrow... but years earlier he already knew about the curse (at least secondhand) but worked for the navy?
I don’t even know what my question is. Do we have insight into his life before the movies (or between the timeskip in the ten first minutes of CBP)? What put him in pirating?
I actually liked the way Otis and Maeve's story ended (I say this as someone who has shipped them since season 1). My only problem is that I feel like there weren't special moments between them like there used to be in season 1, or sometimes in season 2, that would have made their break up feel more impactful. I feel like Aimee and Maeve's relationship ended up outshining them, and even Isaac's small moment with Maeve this season felt like more of a connection than Otis had with her this season. I definitely loved what Maeve shared with Aimee and Isaac and would not change a thing. But, I would also add awesome Motis moments like we got when the show first came out. But I feel like the letter sort of made up for all the bullshit that went down between them and explained why she loved him. I still would have preferred if there were some season 1-like moments though.
Also, I didn't really like Ruby's last scene with Otis. I think it was a sign that she was putting herself first instead choosing to hang out with Otis when she clearly wasn't over him, which was good. But I wish the dialogue had been different. Or maybe I've completely misinterpreted the scene?
I actually quite liked this season overall for all of the characters, especially Maeve, Aimee, Ruby, Isaac, and Eric. I think Adam's arc was good too, he was just never my personal favourite.
Also, did anyone else expect that Molloy dude to steal Maeve's work? And a book from Maria Bronte's perspective sounds really interesting to me.
hyperfixating on Pirates of the Caribbean rn and upon second rewatch of the whole series in the row, I realize Mr. Gibbs used to sail under James Norrington
all of a sudden I have a NEED for sparrington fanfiction where mr. gibbs tries to set them up or mutual friend joshamee gibbs... it feel like untapped territory
