So… I’ve recently tried to figure out how to do some of the more advanced stuff on Ao3. The stuff that requires a bit of knowledge of HTML and CSS.
Some of this stuff was not terribly intuitive, or easy for beginners to figure out. So I put together a little guide to help others do some of this stuff.

Unbelievable. How dare he.
Here u go shwub
im so fucking pissed rn oh my god
at my work we have a little cafe that the staff sit in sometimes and i had a tasty little can of monster in there, near the door, for me to sip at when i had the chance to
then a man walks up
and oh how foolish i was
occasionally old men will come up to the cafe and grab any empty cans and bottles out of the bin outside or the bench near the door
god how stupid of me to leave it in such a vulnerable spot
this stupid man walks up
checks the stupid bins
and his stupid fucking eyes spot my stupid little can of monster
and he takes it
and he crushes it in his pathetic little hands
so i basically go "hey i wasnt done can i please have my last two sips of caffiene :)"
and this fucking fossilized evidence of true cruelty POURS OUT MY DRINK AND TAKES THE MOTHERFUCKING CAN
and he smiles at me like this: 😁😁
oh how i wanted to strangle him
i wanted to take his wretched bag of 10 cents and shove it down his stupid throat
i want to curse him like the internet guy did to the onion chip salsa lady
i will find a book
and i will curse this man with the words of hell
i will find a way to inflict the wrath of the gods upon him, and i will make him regret his actions for the rest of his days

(pls let me know if theres any mistakes! i got most of the info from the tardis wiki so idk if its 100% accurate)
I'm honoured, thankyou!!! :DD
HELLO UM-
Your little Harbour PotC AU gives me absolute life, just for the record. Even tho i am very very late, thank you for making it :D
There is a headcanon I got that wouldn't leave my brain after looking at your art, originating from that one conversation between Beckett and Jack where there were some implications about canon being everyone’s previous lives. Whether this is actually a part of your au or not, it got me thinking eheheh
Theoretically, (perhaps in an au of an au, if this headcanon contradicts your lore,) what if your au and canon were the same 'verse, just several hundred years later? And what if not everybody were on their second life?
We obviously have a sprinkling of supernatural stuff, so what if the secretly-a-goddess Calypso and immortally-cursed Davy Jones were the OGs that they were in the films? Like, Davy Jones maybe came back somehow (as per movie 5's end-credit scene lol) and took back the role of the Dutchman's Captian after Will went back to Shipwreck Cove. All is good.
He learned his lesson now and actually does his job of ferrying souls. As times changed, so did his ship, in some magical way. She's no longer a sailing ship, and he'll always miss that, but he doesn't mind all that much. His crew usually only stay for that 100 yr contract, so he's seen plenty of sailors come and go. Eventually, he even hires living mortals. Less people die at sea, so by the 20th century, Jones takes a mortal job as a fisherman (or whatever his job is in your au) as well.
Whether or not he knows about the whole reincarnation thing doesn't really matter; the day he employs a familiar man by the name of Bill Turner, he chalks it up to coincidence. Even if Bill has a son named William, well- it's been 200 years, perhaps it's just a really really big coincidence. Either way, it doesn't matter to him.
It's not until he's docked in a small, out-of-the-way harbour, and three troublemaking kids sneak onto the Dutchman that he finally realises. Bill's boy, on his own, is just a matter of coincidence. Those three, together? It's unmistakable. And as bothersome those three pirates were, so long ago, I'd like to think that he looks back on that age, on those people, with some kind of fondness.
(Until he discovers they can be the most INFURIATING little gremlins he's ever met in all his centuries. But he'll find that out later.)
Anyway I drew it :D Have my humble, scribbly offerings.
(I feel bad about running away with this, even as just a headcanon-of-an-au, please don't take this as a 'you should do this' lmao, it's just me adoring all of your content it makes my brain go brrr you are amazing thankyou!!!)
This is so lovely 😭😭😭
The idea of Calypso and Jones being the same ones from canon but just... having had a lot of time to chill down and have a second chance is so??? Inagine what Jones must be thinking looking at those kids... this is so bittersweet (but mostly sweet)
I'm sorry it took so long to respond, I wanted to write a proper reply expressing just how much I love this but couldn't get around to it. Hope you don't mind me posting this publicly; I need everyone else to see this as well.
WOAH
hey tumblr people! remember when i made that AvA animatic a year ago? i made another one. instead of taking 6 hours, this one took 5 DAYS. i'd love for you to leave some appreciation here or on youtube!!
(IT DOES HAVE SPOILERS FOR AVA 11.)
please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts
Ok this is interesting, wanted to add my interpretations :D
I personally recon that Purple is such a good character because of the crappy things he did. All that good ol character development, like you said in your end point.
Although i interpreted Purple's relationship with his dad Navy differently than you. Navy may have walked away, but Purple never wanted him gone. Navy was a pathetic father, but Purple couldn't see/accept that or just didn't care, and all he wanted was his approval. (We could also blame Navy for this. He's the one who raised his child with unreasonable expectations.) Navy leaving of course would have made this worse. Purple could have healed from the disease, but in his desire born of a childhood without an adequate father figure, he wanted to stay sick. Which was wrong, but. Yk. That, or it's a response to the trauma he definitely has. Regardless.
All Purple wanted is this approval from a father-figure that cares, which is something he's never had. So naturally, when he ends up in the employment of Mango, Purple goes 'new father-figure unlocked!' Now he must make him proud. And at this point, Purple has literally nobody else. (I wouldn't count the CG at this stage.) So this desire is perhaps even greater. Enough to do irrational, crappy things, like betraying his friends.
This is why I'm with you about how people shouldn't say that he was "under MT's command" or anything. He wasn't. His awful actions were by choice. And that makes his character arc even better.
I'd say that Ep. 25 was Purple's wake-up call. (Mango has his own in Ep. 30 when he sees Gold in Purple and realises what he's doing is wrong, and realises how much he cares about Purple.) Mango disregarding Purple in Ep. 25 is Purple realising that this is Navy all over again. He's giving everything to someone he looks up to, yet he's cast aside for it. So he runs away.
On Purple's backstory, Ep. 29. When I first watched it, I remember thinking, 'bro, why are you trauma-dumping all of a sudden?' But then i realised it's because Green literally asked. Many times, in fact. Even to the extent of "why are you being evil, dude??" And thus gets the full answer he asked for. Of course, Purple has had his wake-up call by this point and knows what he had done was wrong, so i feel like it was less of an apology and more of an explination- repentance. I personally recon Purple never asked for forgiveness or anything because he didn't expect it, didn't believe he deserved it. Green gave it anyway. And Purple didn't let him down, and followed through in Ep. 30.
Purple essentually dies trying to fix his mistakes that he committed with Mango. Which is the greatest lesson learned a character can show, i recon. Wonderful character development.
And i recon it doesn't end there. There'd be a whole lot of healing to be done between Purple and Mango. They did hurt one another, one significantly more than the other, and they can't fill the holes for each other that Gold and Navy left. But neither of them are alone anymore, and they can heal together, and that's a start.
When it comes to the people you mentioned in the fandom defending Purple's actions; no!!! No way! Purple had a redemption arc, not freedom from Stockholm Syndrome or something. Purple made awful decisions entirely of his own volition, and it would ruin his character development to defend him. Flaws are why characters are so good, we all know this lol
I am absolutely with you on how Purple should not be victimised or excused, and how many of his life choices are crap, but I've made my point over why i think that's great writing. Sorry for how fandom interpretations have lead to your dislike of a character, that sucks, and i totally get it. Not trying to change your mind or anything, 100% valid opinion. I just enjoy neat character analyses such as this. Sorry that was so long, lol ✌️
I was thinking about it a long time, and this post contains my thoughts over my whole existence in the fandom. If you don't agree on what i say - it's okay. Everyone has the right to express what they believe, if it's not harming anyone (and I'm obviously not doing it). I'd like to hear what the others think, so feel free to comment or smth.
----------------------------------------------------
I just can't stand people endlessly defending him, like he did nothing wrong. I don't suggest, that he can't be redeemed, and what he was doing was pure evil, but come on. He almost killed two guys back in the episode 10, and for what? There is, like, a thousand different ways to impress your dad, without dragging other people into this. Or without hurting anyone.
Actually, if Purple's father disappeared, then...why is he trying to get him back? Maybe i misunderstood, but if the source of the most of my problems just went gone, i would not give a damn about it. Why is he doing this? It's like recovering from a disease, and once you're fully healed, you try to get sick again.
Okay, season one wasn't that bad, because he apologised and everyone lived happily ever after, but then we have season 3. And Purple returns, and does THE EXACT SAME THING. He never learned anything from that encounter. Better - he now tries to do something even worse.
"But he's under MT's command!" - he never was forced to do it, let's be honest. He agreed to do this.
Episode 25 is Purple finally getting some karma. He finally learned, that he's not doing anything good. He finally gets what he deserves.
And then the narrative undergoes an 180 in ep 29.
I don't want to hate on this episode, it has amazing visuals and music (which i consider one of the best out of the whole season 3), but i need to say one thing. After all this mess Purple did, his backstory looks like an excuse. An excuse to feel sorry for him. Yes, he regretted everything. Yes, he apologised. In a youtuber way. I felt like i was watching a got talent show. I really want to feel sorry. But i just can't.
It might be surprising after all the ranting, but i don't have any problems with Purple getting a happy ending. He's not irredeemable, and he already got his karma, so it's enough for me to not have any complaints.
------------------------------------------------
Why is Purple overrated? Because people overly victimise him. They forget about all the evil stuff he did, or they excuse him. Let's remember, that he joined Mt and dragged Blue and Green into his plan all by himself. He could not do it, but he did (i already said, that it's kinda stupid but i won't repeat myself). He just could live his life after his dad left, just leaving the past behind.
And to settle thing up - i don't hate him. I think that Purple is pretty good in terms of character development and his story, but i consider some of his life choices stupid. That's all.
