So, this scene always amuses me. Let me tell you things!
Barbossa eating slices of apples with a danty fork and his pinky all extended. His general attitude and body language. Iggy Azalea probably following behind in a row boat scaring away mermaids lest their heads explode (might explain why the they didn’t bother the ship until it was anchored).
I like that they made a point for us to see Barbossa fill his teacup with alcohol. We view this as humor or even shocking, “I don’t think he’s allowed to do that, how unprofessional”. However, beer/grog (heavily diluted) was standard for sailors, helped prevent scurvy and was easier to keep than fruit.
Fun fact aside, look how desperate he pours that shit, like “oh God,” as he sees Gillette making his way on over. Barbossa already knows the whole crew just standing there, waiting. “Quickly. Shove this apple in my mouth, before I gotta acknowledge this shit”.
“Aye. Mermaids. (Ya dumb fucks).”
He has a separate cup of precious fresh clean water. So extra.
Mostly though, Gillette. Poor Gillette. Survived Barbossa in Curse of the Black Pearl, only to serve him in Stranger Tides. His distaste. His irritation. Forced formalities and etiquette. Look at his face. He is so done.
So i did this OFMD quick fan art after the first time i watched it. Im in LOVE with this show, i honnestly think it was the perfect show for me! Pirates, gays, lots of queers, cool bad ass enby, colonial guys being killed, all of that in a romantic comedy!
Also dont burn me XD i forgot black beards tattoo at the time…
