shijun, won’t you pay attention to me?
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.
“Sir.”
Ivy
Like all evergreens, the ivy is immortality and eternal life; it is also revelry; clinging dependence; attachment; constant affection; friendship.
Christian: Everlasting life; death and immortality; fidelity.
Egyptian: ‘The plant of Osiris’, immortality.
Greek: Sacred to Dionysos who is crowned with ivy and whose cup is an 'ivy cup’; his thyrsus is encircled with ivy and one of his emblems is a post sprouting ivy leaves.
Semetic: Sacred to the Phrygian Attis; immortality. The ivy-leaf is phallic, depicting the male trinity.

“Time travelers didn’t stop aging, even if they only went back a few hours to alter some personal crisis. A stubborn traveler could lose years trying to fix one horrid day. If a fellow traveler heard the bad news and said, “you look awful,” it was a compliment to their dedication.”

“I have to admit, this is one of the most creative ways I’ve been killed. Usually people just use a gun.”
“Can we not talk about this? I don’t like to think too much about how I’m going to outlive everyone I know and care about.”
choose one: fangs or pointed ears, immunity or immortality, wings or horns, greek mythology or egyptian mythology, chokers or anklets, dark red or dark green, glitter or blush, heels or boots, ripped jeans or fishnets, long nails or short nails, vampire or werewolf, oceans or forests, books or movies, phone calls or text messages, rings or studs and skirts or jeans.
Prompt 355
“No.”
The villain’s face fell and their flowers dropped. “Is it because of my criminal background? I’d give it all up.”
“There’s nothing wrong with you,” the hero answered with a sigh. “It’s me.”
Adoration and praise sprung to the villain’s lips, but the hero cut them off. “I don’t age.”
“You-”
“I’m not getting older. I’ll be here long after you’re dead.” Forgetting himself, the hero laid a hand on the villain’s cheek. “A sunset gone too soon.”

Poets alone are sure of immortality; they are the truest diviners of nature.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Immortality that “cures” disabilities and chronic illnesses is boring and ableist, I want more immortals who were disabled before they became immortal, who became disabled after they became immortal, who are disabled BECAUSE of their immortality. More immortals spending centuries and millennia trying to find ways to cope with their pain and illnesses.

- 4.0/5.0
- wow, the i finally finished this book. scared to even look back to see when i started it, but that’s one thing about me… i will ALWAYS complete a text, no matter how long it takes. if you know of Linda Goodman, then you know. i like to consider myself an open minded person vaguely familiar with the spiritual and occult world. that being said this book is like a crash course. she covers everything from numerology to how to become immortal. i feel like this book is a must read simply because its some what of a classic. i am interested in reading some of her other works, but have a few different text on the agenda. if you’re into astrology and the lot, then you would definitely enjoy this book.
- because you can find this book for relatively affordable price used (as i did) i would think its worth the purchase because you definitely need time to get through it.
