tbh "it's a curious thing; there was a time when i would've given anything for you to look like that while thinking of me" is THE demi norrington line to me. the privateness. the distance. the yearning is two steps removed from the physicality but still tied in and it's still not anything he can put into words, even when he's being brutally honest and a bit of a shit. it's the good stuff 👍

no you know what. i'm still stewing. it's not just "i wanted you once" it's "i wanted you to want me in the same way i wanted you" as well as "i wish you would think of me like that when i wasn't around" which is SO MUCH to say while he's actively roasting her about being into jack. and also trying to warn her about jack. because he loves her. oh my god.

Hi!

I'm Kit, a hobby portrait artist from Germany, and I'm doing commissions! Have a look around, I'd love to hear from you!! 💕

✨ check out my blog for more examples of my art ✨

Send me a dm with the details of what you want. For OCs, please include references, as detailed as possible. Payment via PayPal. (if you don't have pp, we'll figure something out ✨)

You‘ll get the piece as a png in full resolution so you can have it printed, use it privately as backgrounds etc. No commercial use unless we discuss it, in which case the price will go up depending on how you want to use it.

if you want to support me without commissioning a piece, here's my ko-fi ✨

✨🩷 also, i‘d love it if you could reblog this post so more people can see it! 🩷✨

#things im doing on vacation: looking at water with the dragon and rewatching all of potc #also i think you could read a lot into the repeated use of 'fine' as his struggling to even have vocabulary for #feelings he has no other reference for but i need to think about it some more #bolt watches things

Norrington they made you as snarky as possible and I love you

blast my stupid baja life

i think the most fun thing about norrington's fight scenes is knowing that jack davenport was also fighting for his life during the filming of those scenes. method acting

#he's here to say words and not bump into furniture after all #not whatever this shit is #bolt watches potc

Conclave (2024) dir. Edward Berger

realizing that elizabeth is very direct and weird when it comes to flirting maybe. that's the sheltered upbringing coming through. "i had a dream about the day we met :)" (it was a shipwreck and everyone else on that ship died and will himself almost died). "blacksmith's hands are rough—but don't stop" (yes you actually ARE hurting me and are bad at this wound care thing, but i want this more). "you do know that will taught me to use a sword" (i will kill you if you cross a line but i like it).

^ this type shit

Swann is distressed by that; briefly, he makes eye contact with Norrington. Both men quickly look away. Swann picks up his quill, resumes his distasteful task.

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it
