adiva_calandiaI'd like to see a fic here Captain Will Turner, commanding the Dutchman and taking up his duties to ferry away the souls of the dead . . .
. . . comes across his predecessor, as one of those souls.
*cheerful*
Also, the whole Calyspo situation in particular makes me like this YW/PotC universe even more. The Powers That Be voluntarily take human form on occasion, and sometimes get more or less stuck there -- Biddy the smith, in A Wizard Abroad. And the language -- from I am on the Powers' business, walking the worlds as do They to And by the Powers, where we will, we'll roam.
But then, there are weirdnesses that wouldn't fit with the YW-verse. Of course there are; the magic system, such as it is, in the Pirates-verse is fairly bizzare. Mostly it's seat-of-your-pants, whatever works magic -- very Jack Sparrow-ish -- while YW magic is more logical, mathematical. But: if you look at the movie as a story told by pirates and sailors, altered over the years of telling (and rum. And flat-out lying to make oneself look better.), then the oddities make sense.
Yeah, I think about this stuff a lot.
