just saw that gifset about potc characters having fathers but not mothers and that is because. the sea is their mother.

#ALSO TRUE RE. ESME #except she did in fact have many ''mothers'' at the convent but that doesn't rlly count. imo #✘; I HAVE SEVENTY TWO EXAMS AND I HAVE NOT STUDIED FOR ONE ( ooc ) #in terms of like .... birthing and nurturing and carrying and like ... being there for the process of transformation ? love ? becoming ? #the fathers in potc are always the ones bringing the um. public facing roles? the duties? #so: weatherby and his societal expectations for elizabeth. teague and his pirate societal expectations for jack #will inherits bootstrap's choices regarding piracy and then service on the dutchman #and angelica and esme both face pirate society outwardly through the shadow / lens of their father figure's legend and influence #but the sea is what allows for the self in the series. pursuing wants and crossing social boundaries #not motherly as in home as in ''homemaking'' or Confined to a home. but literally Making a Home. choosing it. bringing warmth. love.
