Jack Sparrow

[sueslaps]

Well, shiver me timbers, it's our very firstest Canon Sue! There's also an original Sue and Stu scurrying about in this story, but I thought the defilement of our good Captain's character was so gut-wrenching that it should be the focus here.

You could cut the angst with a damned knife.

Speaking of knives, how much do you all want to bet that Jack ends up becoming a cutter later on?

'He opened his eyes suddenly, wiping furiously at them in an attempt to stop the tears that seemed to be flooding from his heart'

I think I can explain this. He is very, very, very drunk. Yes, he was not a sappy drunk in the movie, but I would rather think he is crying because alcohol is a depressant than the author has no concept of Jack's character whatsoever.

Where did she get the idea that Jack and Ana Maria would be in love? Was it the part where she slapped him, the part where she yelled at him, or the other numerous parts that were overflowing with sappy love?

Actually, she has some very nice descriptions. She needs a new story, some originality, and a different character, but she could be a good writer.

If falling into tears was a natural consequence of drinking, why the hell would people get drunk at parties

Alcohol isn't called a depressant because it makes you depressed, but because it dulls your senses and reactions and, with enough of it, makes you fall asleep. If falling into tears was a natural consequence of drinking, why the hell would people get drunk at parties?I think this is because the author is a teenager, or at least a very young person. Grown people who get drunk on grown-up parties do not, generally, start to cry about it. It is however almost a certainty on a party filled by twelve to sixteen year olds, that you will find a handful of people who are weeping uncontrollably because they are so drunk. I can hear you say "WTF??" even as I write this but it's true

Yes, I know alcohol does not make you cry. I was thinking more along the lines of it making you act in ways you would not usually. So my choice of words was not good, but I had been thinking of the people that become more serious when drunk, as in angry or sad. I wasn't thinking of the silly or happy drunks, which is odd, considering Jack falls into the category.

Also, it was more a wish that he was crying because he was drunk than what I believe the reason is. I know the author has no concept of Jack's character, but tried to come up with some other explanation to preserve my faith in fanfiction writers.

In conclusion, it was a bad theory with many holes and thank you for pointing them out.

Lemme guess. The OFC will teach Jack how to love again. Yes?

Puh-lease!

Poor Jack. He should sic the UN on this Suethor, this story's a violation of his basic right to dignity.

He sighed, and a tear rolled down his cheek. Yay single dramatic tear! I'm surprised it didn't land on a rose petal or something.

Actually, that's more like something out of one of the first movies Johnny Depp ever starred in, the infamous Cry Baby.

Turning into other characters, are we Jack?

[kalio_plaid]

*gasps* Crybaby! Yessss. *grins the wide and manic grin of the not-so-closet fan*

If Jack's going to have Johnny Depp identity crises, when can we expect some scissor hands? Or a Buster Keaton routine? ...Oh, never mind, he did the raisin bit in the DVD extras.

She's a green-eyed redhead, which is quite impressive for the child of two brown-eyed brunettes

It never ceases to amaze me how Sues can flout genetics time and time again.
