#a caribbean mystery

[beautyarchive]

Can't believe I'm saying this but Sophie Ward wearing very Grace Kelly clothes in Miss Marple: A Caribbean Mystery (1989) is actually just as delicate and elegant as Grace Kelly and even has a somewhat similar face. She should have played her in a biopic.

Nothing like as saucy as Grace Kelly though.

A Caribbean Mystery (1983)

[quererqueer]

Her nephew had once compared life in St. Mary Mead to scum on a pond, and she had indignantly pointed out that smeared on a slide under the microscope there would be plenty of life to be observed.

I have officially rewatched all sagas that formed my gay ass personality: Pirates of the Caribbean, the Mummy, the Journeys, Lord of the Rings and Resident Evil. Now I intend to be insufferable

“What would I give to live where you are? What would I pay to stay here beside you? What would I do to see you smiling at me...?”

Carewyn turned back to Jacob. “But how did you survive? Grandfather said Rakepick shot you in the back and threw you overboard…”

Jacob gave her a sheepish smile. “Honestly? I have no idea. All I remember is something carrying me through the water – and after that, waking up on the beach. Who knows? Maybe a mermaid saved me.”

Ashe gave a very loud, almost offended huff. “Mermaid? And here I thought you remembered who it was that really saved your life, by lugging you out of the water onto the beach?”

Jacob grinned almost cheekily. “Oh, come off it, Ashe, I already said it was thanks to you that I’m alive, didn’t I?”

“May you always remember that,” said Ashe very dryly.

Ahhhh, my precious Jacashe!! In all universes, I love you both so! 🥰

But yeah, this is Jacob Cromwell and Duncan Ashe in the Pirates of the Caribbean AU I did a long while back. Ashe is a merman much akin to the sorts you might recall from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (read some of my lore for Ashe’s species here), in the sense that he’s less friendly and much less human in appearance while swimming in or exposed to the water. As explained in better detail here, Ashe developed an attachment to Jacob (or “Jack” as he solely calls him in this AU) from afar, only for him to save Jacob’s life when he’s shot in the back by Patricia Rakepick and thrown overboard his ship into the sea. So that’s what I drew here -- Ashe still wet enough with ocean water to look like his real, less human-ish self, checking on “his human” now that he’s dragged him to safety on the beach. 

My musical accompaniment while working on this included this fabulous Bass cover of Hoist the Colors from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, as well as Ashley Serena’s version of The Song of the Sea and this variation of Black is the Color of My True Love’s Hair by Peter Hollens and Avi Kaplan. And obviously this art was heavily inspired by that one certain scene from The Little Mermaid, visuals wise. 💚

Hope you all have a lovely night! Much love!! xoxo 🌊
