Descendants 2 but I replaced that arm wrestle scene with Liar's Dice

Like imagine Mal and Uma's confrontation after Mal comes back, its all fun and games until the tension builds and Uma successfully calls Mal's bluff and wins (and makes the deal about the magic wand)

Also w/ Uma calling Mal a liar, maybe reflective of how at the start of Descendants 2 Mal is like not being herself (being blonde and shit) so she's like lying to herself bcuz issues

I say Liar's Dice as in Pirates: Dead Man's Chest liar's dice w/ Davy Jones and Will (and Bootstrap)

That scene already was so good and had a little banter SO IMAGINE MAL AND UMA DOING THE SAME AND LIKE idk adds depth to their past relationship friendship whatever tf they had

Do you see it guys,,,,, do you see the vision,,,,

Can someone write this out for me im too illiterate for this HXHHXXJJS

I think we should all agree that this needs to be turned into a meme???

i don't go to Pirates of TheCaribbean, but a video explaing how they used Lair's Dice in it came up in my reccomendations so i watched it curiously.

Conclusion after watching: Kokichi wold be amazing at Liar's Dice

All that game is is trying to outbluff your opponent, and Kokichi is not only an insanely talented liar, but also amazing at telling when others lie. He would see right through em the first time his opponent lies, then purposefully stretch the game out for as long as he can just for the hell of it. Kokichi would make a pokerface out of his childish persona too, pretending to be innocent and easy to read, only to have been fucking the other over from the start.

Kokichi also has a knack for slight of hand and is known to cheat. He could totally flip his dice around to whatever he pleases if he's quick enough about it, though i'm sure he'd only do it once in a blue moon do to how risky it'd be. He'd also probably use some dice rolling cheat techniques to get specific rolls, which is still pretty dangerous to do, but not as much as the slight of hand flipping

If someone played this with him, they'd either be a stranger and would have no idea what hit em, or they known him and wouldn't dare entertain the idea cause they know he's too slick to play a fair game with and they aren't stupid.

The only people i can think of who'd play him despite knowing how dirty he is about it would be Kaito- who keeps playing because Kokichi decided to feed his gambling addiction by betting money on it (yes Kaito's wallet has a gapeing, flaming hole in it), or Shuichi- who's in it to try and break down how Kokichi's mind works and figure out his motives

"The only thing any of us have -- years of service..."

In Dead Man's Chest, we are very briefly introduced to the idea that the crew of the Flying Dutchman participate in a betting game where they wager years of service aboard the ship. What we aren't told is in what direction, or really even why, and I have many thoughts on the matter.

The first thought is regarding direction. We know that the crew have been brought into the curse upon Davy Jones offering an alternative to death. The preamble is in awareness that the person being offered the choice either a) fears death, and/or what comes after or b) does not fear death, and/or what comes after. Therefore, anyone who has joined the crew had a reason to claim such fear, and a reason to want to be there. If we assume that Davy Jones' reference to a judgement postponed implies once the sentence is up, the crew member will still be going to the locker, then we could also assume that shortening the distance between present day and judgement day would not be particularly desirable.

I propose, in this case, that crew members may be wagering to gain years of service in order to continue to stave off death. Losers during these games of Liar's Dice would therefore also be losing years of service, and growing closer to judgement.

Additionally, we can imagine that a number of crew members may eventually grow to have second thoughts about it all. Perhaps, after enough time aboard the Flying Dutchman, they feel less afraid of whatever could be lying in wait for them after death than they suffer day to day working the ship. They may determine that service on the Flying Dutchman is worse than anything they could be judged for, regardless of if this turns out to be true in practice, and be voluntarily looking to lose years if they can help it.

They may have different forms of wagers depending on who's playing, or perhaps they arrange it all in a manner so those who want to leave sooner are entered into games between those who want to stay longer. Or perhaps both, depending on player mood.

Expanding on direction, since we later see that one is capable of wagering infinitives, that is eternity or freedom, why not everyone go for broke? I think on one hand, this wouldn't bode well for the entertainment and thrill factor as much, and on another I believe for the most part the crew are content to remain with one foot in a kind of limbo. Betting on eternity or freedom would be an act of commitment, where they would be expected to be prepared to never be able to change their mind again (if they could, would it really be much of a wager?) I believe plenty of the crew are happy with the illusion of power of choice they have in being able to stake their time or keep it to themselves, and since it's literally the only thing they have defining that infinitive would remove the last hint of leverage they have over their situations.

This isn't to say I don't think crew in the past haven't tried it, but they're all here because they told Davy Jones they would rather serve now and die later. We also know that, in time, the crew slowly lose themselves and become part of the structure of the ship, and this may not be as glamorous a future to some as it is to others. On an individual level, if I were trying to see how long I could stay before I became nothing at all, and how soon was too soon for me to face oblivion, I'm sure I would enjoy toying with the definition of the beginning and end of my contract in my free time too.
