Hot diggedy darnation, leave to go to work for a while and come home to complete rebellion amongst the Brethern and alleged munity of all social mores!! 😱 Now we're talkin'!!
The part of me that is like Elisabeth in PotC lead me to be this person that I am today--falls under destined to be an old woman with NO regrets, soooooo Megabeth, might be an interesting (albeit exhausting) life. Cute song by Christine Lavin called Never Call Your Sweetheart by their Name, would work well with a MegaBeth vid--lordy, it just sounds outrageous typing it!! But what a smile will go back to work directly.
And as to Teaguebeth, <sharp intake of breath through clenched teeth, with squinty eyes>, Teaguebeth--I honestly believe that is scarier than Clowns!! Sorta of too all in the familyish somehow, although I believe the kissing gene passes through the male line, hanging on that broken X and I do believe Jack could kiss you and make you think up is down. You know, part of me says, Elisabeth could be persuaded, of course with a definite goal in mind...tiny tall thin delicate Elisabeth, marching through Shipwreck Cove society fine as you please on Teague's arm. Now that's a picture, they would probably have words, make the 'discussions' she had with Jack be only a passing notion. He'd cave in when all was said and done. Our shiny brave Elisabeth, yes, she could handle any or all.
Since Liz is the king, wouldn't Teague technically be the arm candy? Not eye candy, though. Besides, if they got together, then she and Jack would be brother and sister and that would be weird.
But I LOVE Liz. She's one of my favorite characters of all time and she's a great role model, not for just girls, but everyone. It makes me so mad when people say a woman is a great role model for girls, but a man can be a role model for anyone. She's awesome, and I still like her in AWE. I see nothing anti-feminist about her life since she made all her choices on her own. Plus, she has the coolest job in the world as the Pirate King and has a great husband who will probably worship her once he's back from his 10-year tour. (No offense, Jack. You would be a great husband, but Will's not a bad second place...just not someone I would pick) And she has a cute little boy who, I'm sure, is a lot like her and can help out and make her laugh and do little kid things that make her life very complete. Not to mention she has the greatest friends of all time, Jack and Barbossa. I'm sure Jack comes to visit her a lot and give the kid some male bonding time. She's fantastic in just about every way.
I was looking through a book my grandpa has of surnames. It tells there origins and what they mean. Swann was English of course, and meant something like purity I think. And Turner meant anyone who made things out of wood, metal and such. Sparrow had two origin meanings things ... I don't remember the one half. It wasn't really like Jack. The other half was that it was a nickname of someone who looked like a sparrow.
Pocky, that's a very interesting book of names your grandpa has. Come to think of it, Jack does look like a sparrow - the colour of his clothing, the shape of his hat (like a bird's beak) and his agility.
I totally identify with Lizzy except for her final choice of man. I guess Will Turner is a practical choice - he's not a womanizer, he's dependable (a bit boring), he's not going to run away everytime he's faced with a problem and he will probably be a good provider. But whenever she feels bored with her life, she'll probably think of Jack and regret it a lot.
Lizzie is AWEsome. she's smart, a great pirate, has great taste in men, dependable and all that. and she's learning a lot from JAck.. that's a good thing, isn't it? 😛
teagueabeth is definitely disturbing.
teague: I had fun last night.
Liz: I did too....
Jack: *shouts as he steps in the house or something* Dad! I heard a female voice down there! who's yer lucky lassie? *steps in the small room and saw liz and teague*

Jack: Lizzie-love with.. father? *shivers and walks away with an empty look in his eyes*
inside...
Teague: think we should tell him?
Liz: about what?
teague: his new mom... *raises eyebrow and indicates her* and his new brother...
