“He's brilliant, you know? I've heard him underestimated on that score, perhaps owing to his physical strength. People finding it hard to accept the idea that one man can be two things, but I've seen it. He is brilliant.”

the world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. but those that will not break it kills. it kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. if you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

“So, whilst the others were careening, a number of us were inland by a spring. The sun climbs up over the top of the trees in just a way that it shines off the pool lighting up all around us. In that moment, a bird lands on the water massive, snow-white beast, big as a boar. To this day, I've never seen anything like it. Between the sun and the size of it, it just felt meaningful. The answer to a question I did not yet know how to ask. I told him that there were men in the east who would have seen in that bird the darkest of all omens, bringer of death. But then, there are other men near Clifton my my mother's home who would've called it a sign of great fortune, an indication from the heavens that someone up there favored our endeavor together.”

also Toby Schmitz and Ray Stevenson were so good in that scene like, there’s that moment where Blackbeard has this absolutely pained expression on his face for a minute when he pauses in that story and then continues and then when Jack is talking about what Eleanor took from him and HE CHOKES UP. it’s like bye I’m dead everything hurts don’t touch me.

so besides being super Jesus-y & v Passion of the Christ (lite), the Dadbeard scene was foreshadowing Jack’s future y/y
