also like I love how avengers infinity war was about having AS MANY CHARACTERS AS POSSIBLE and avengers: endgame is just like here’s eight white people
thanos’ snap was as random as an airport’s random security check
It’s ETD’s Christmas work party tomorrow (I guess now tonight seen as how it’s now 1am) and I just realized, I don’t have any fancy party straws to take with me and blend in with the surroundings (big ass fancy country club). And we’re sitting next to the president of the company this year (!!!!!) and I’m going to be fucking aspirating on every sip of water.
Simple, functional, flirty but not too revealing. I do wish it was cut slightly higher around the thighs. 7/10
Climbing set
The guns are out! He is ready to go! He is a sporty twink but the straps and belts reveal links kinkier side. 8/10
Radiant set
Points for boldness but the look falls short. Wrestler chic is not working for him 3/10
Gerudo Set
That crop top + loose yoga pant combo is a knock out. Her covered face adds a hint of mystery. I would love to shower her in flowers and chocolate. The colours are a little mismatched but that adds to her charm. 9/10
Royal Guard set
He is rich, he is fashionable and he knows what he wants. Look at that hair elegantly swept up into his hat, those white thigh highs. Fucking superb 10/10
Desert Voe Set
High Pony. Gold choker. One tit out. 20/10
Barbarian set
The fur trim, the leg warmers, the ripped up skirt, the saucy hand print leading to his bathing suit area. This is a LOT of look and he is wielding it with indescribable power. 100/10
Ancient set
Atrocious. -50/10
Sheikah Set
Sleek, sexy, sassy. Easily links best look. He is pulling off that top knot paired with the skin tight pants like its nobodies business. Im getting power bottom vibes and I’m very into it. 500/10
the funniest thing in the entire pirates of the caribbean series is definitely that one scene in At World’s End where they have parlay but davy jones is part of it, and rather than have him stand in the shallows or something they get a big bucket of water and have in stand on it on shore
who thought of that idea? who thought “put davy jones in a bucket of water” and had the guts to suggest it aloud? and then who went “hey that sounds like a great idea!”
at some point someone told davy jones their idea was for him to stand in a bucket of water and he agreed to it
*stands majestically in a bucket*
ok but notice the trail of buckets behind him meaning he walked from the ocean through three other buckets of water before he got into the one hes standing in
It’s even funnier when you consider how he must have figured all this out in the first place.
Some folks are asking “well, if he can avoid the no-dry-land curse simply by standing in a bucket, doesn’t that ruin his whole motivation?”, but he’s not on dry land here.
The parley takes place on a sandbar – which, for the unfamiliar, is a temporary “island” of sand deposited by breaking waves, unconnected with the shore, that spends most of its time submerged, being exposed only at low tide.
What Jones is doing here is rules-lawyering his curse. Can you imagine the trial and error he must have gone through in order to determine that this would actually work?
“Okay, do islands count as dry land? How about parts of the shore below the high tide mark? Reefs? Shoals? What if I stand in a pool of water on a shoal? Does it have to be seawater, or will any water do? Does it have to be a natural tidepool, or can it be something artificial, like a bucket?”
What I am saying is that there must have been a process.
Pretty sure that this implies that the reverse – a bucket of sand, floating on the water (big bucket with just a bit of sand), would qualify as dry land. That’s absurd, so I’m pretty sure that his lawyer pulled a fast one over the curse governor.
It may be absurd, but the text of the film bears it out. Davy Jones can sense the presence of his heart while it’s at sea, but not while it’s on land (indeed, that’s why he buried it on land in the first place: to break his connection with it) – yet placing the heart in a simple jar of dirt conceals it from Jones’ awareness just as surely as burial on land does, even if the jar is on a boat at the time. Suitably prepared vessels filled with dirt absolutely count as dry land for the purpose of Jones’ curse.
Then the reverse should also be true. If he buried it in a jar of water, no matter how far inland it is, he would be able to sense it. So by this logic, any container of seawater counts as not dry land, ergo, the bucket is a perfectly viable loophole.
Not necessarily. It’s traditionally a lot easier to accidentally get whammied by a curse than it is to weasel around it – I figure that’s why he’s using multiple layers of indirection here. He’s forbidden to set foot on dry land, but it’s technically not dry land (it’s a sandbar, a non-permanent landform exposed only at low tide) and he technically didn’t set foot on it (he’s standing in a bucket of water). It’s entirely possible that either one of those things alone wouldn’t make the grade.
okay but this all raises one further, very important question: if it’s specifically “dry land” he’s forbidden from, what about wetlands.
can Davy Jones fight you in salt marshes? can he throw down in a peat bog?Swamp Battle?
This is the quality content I come to Tumblr for.
could he step on land if his shoes are wet?
No matter how ridiculous PotC gets I will love it. Especially when it results in conversations like this
What if he crawls around on his hands and knees, with his feet raised slightly into the air? Can he walk on his hands? Can he ride around in a litter or a wheelchair?
can he be in a wheelbarrow?
What if he flies over dry land? Like in a hot air balloon, or in the claws of a giant bird?
What if he’s carried by two swallows using a strand of creeper?
