"Get behind me, now!"

@ashortdropandasuddenstop

Hearing a child tell him that, a sixteen year old, was not helping Weatherby’s fears. This child is more capable than he is, and it was the boy’s job to protect him.

However, Swann is a father. And this is a child. A child who no doubt has trauma.

So instead of heading the order, Weatherby wrapped an arm around and pulled James to his chest, attempting to shield the boy’s eyes from whatever horrors, whatever danger, is to come

[governorofportroyal]

Pirates had the crew of the interceptor Captive, laughing at the small crew’s distress.  Midshipman Norrington’s first real test up against odds that were not in the navy’s favor.

So , despite the fact that things seemed hopeless, James attempted to bodily protect the high profile man who was more than likely the target of this attack. Yet, as the ambush closed in on them,  he felt concerned and protective arms wrap around him and cover his eyes. “ !! Governor Swann!  Please! I can’t see!” He complains, as a thump is heard.

One of the other petty officers had just lost their head and his surrogate father had not wanted him to witness it first hand, if he could help it. But  Norrington was no stranger to gruesome death.

Weatherby felt more than a bit queasy, watching the man be decapitated in front of him. Blood splattering and then pooling where a headless body lay. But he’d rather it be him than the child he held against his chest to witness such things, as that is what he considered James, a child.

No matter how many times his surrogate son had, and would, witness such things, the man would always take the opportunity to protect him from it. A little less trauma, a little less death being witnessed.

He also saw no point in such a young boy losing his life if the battle were to be lost anyway. Even he, so little knowledge of battles and violence, could see that that the pirates had won. If he lost his life protecting his son, so be it.

But the boy would not die, not if Weatherby had even an inkling of a say.

THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE CUT THIS SCENE.

But how dare we show James be soft for his surrogate father, his own dread pushed aside!  Trying to handle things like a champ.  

Then, Showing regret for his own actions and decisions.. and distaste for the side he chose. He never got to show this development …

Plus we were robbed of the “ I can order Admiral Norrington silent, he’ll obey .. thats what he does. “  Lord Beckett showing he thinks of James as a pet.. 

[governorofportroyal]

And Weatherby, despite knowing the consequence, was about to stab the heart. He'd give up everything for Elizabeth, only stopping because his surrogate son stepped in.

James and Elizabeth were his everything, the only things he really cared about.

MUSE SHAMING

send me a ⚠️ with a reason my muse should be shamed (e.g. “hangs toilet paper backward”) and I can only confirm or deny

[governorofportroyal]

"Oh, Governor Swann it has been far too long." (itslordnow)

@itslordnow

"Cutler Beckett?" he questioned, "what are you doing here?”

There was a touch of concern in his voice. From what he remembered and knew, Beckett could be quite cruel when he wished. And Elizabeth and her husband now had a tie to piracy.

He was younger than the Governor by a long shot, but scared him none the less. Not as much as Barbossa had, but certainly enough for his anxiety to kick in.
