Pirates of the Caribbean—if Jack Sparrow were a vengeful sapphic ghost possessing a sapphic princess Elizabeth Swann, Will Turner went on a gender journey, and the curse could only be broken when two hearts meet the light—through love or bloodshed 🫀🗡️

A moodboard showing the pirate (Amir), the princess (Mira), and John.

Amir silhouetted against a cloudy sky with a sword slung over her shoulder and a group of joyful sailors on a pirate ship. She has this quote:

Continue to love
Continue to forgive
Continue to grow

Mira is shown in the reflection of an ornate mirror. She is wearing long white gloves and a pink ballgown with her hair in a natural updo and the lesbian pride flag is subtly depicted over her photo. There is another photo of two girls kissing in the surf at sunset. Mira has this quote:

We looked at each other a little too long to be “just friends”

John is shown with his bare back to the viewer, facing the sea with the trans pride flag subtly depicted over his photo. He also has a close up of iridescent mermaid scales and this quote:

Go bravely, go deeply, or do not go

Thrust into the role of Crown Prince of an empire on the brink of war, Eamon must navigate duplicitous province leaders and escalating tensions with rebels as he pursues the prophesied Vessel, whose magical abilities can dictate the empire's fate.

Mood board with prominent blues, gold and red. Tiles depict flashes of light, a forest, a holly leaf bush, a golden arch. There’s a man at the center with his face partially obscured by blue light almost as if he’s in a trance or if it’s suffocating him. He is otherwise in darkness. Theres black woman with braids in a different tile. She’s illuminated with blue light in the dark as she looks over her shoulder which is dusted with gold.
