Just Something To Think About

[lostwiginity]

I had a conversation on where the difference lies between actual Navy officers and the figurines Beckett has. It wasn't that easy, because the have much in common, like a certain stiffness and being almost unable to show emotions. But there are facts that distinguish them from one another:

- The figurines are much, much smaller than the officers.

they probably have their stockings painted on, though. that's my theory.

"Sir! Permission to go inside before my trousers wash off!"
"Permission denied, lieutenant. If we can't stand up to a simple budget-cut, we can hardly expect to fight pirates and win, can we?"

The officers may move around like Beckett tells them to like the figurines do, but Beckett doesn't have to provide their voices. Also, he doesn't have to manhandle them to make them move.

Also, the officers don't fit in Beckett's palm. Beckett fits in their palms.

Sure, but isn't he pimpcaning manhandling them anyway?

Well, sometimes they get uppity and require a good poke to make them malleable again.
