The man grinned toothily, bringing his head back and headbutting Sao Feng. Sao Feng released him with a surprised grunt and the man started foward at me, holding a long spoon with small tines in the concave bit. He darted at me and plunged it into my chest.

I fell backwards, pain filling me, my vision going dark. The last words I heard before I passed out where a somewhat eery repeat of minutes before - only for some odd reason the whelp was there...

The Sue evaporated. Canon was restored.

Man that felt good :D

Oh, that was cathartic! :D Thank you!

The fact that Kate is so vindictively possessive of, at this point, her husband, uncle, and father is...disquieting, to say the very least.

Also - Kate, you're a useless bitch who only wishes she could be as awesome as Elizabeth was in this movie. That is all.

zelda_queen March 5 2011, 04:46:19 UTC

It's like Mervin said - Gethesemane's main tactic is to try to convince readers that her Sues are necessary. So the possessiveness is probably a form of that. Whatever it is, it's really creepy.

And word on that. Kate does NOTHING of use in this fic. NOTHING.

In a truly sick and twisted way, the thought processes of most of her Sues seem to resemble those of Terry Pratchett's Discworld witches. The Queen of the Elves frequently describes witches as selfish beings, always considering the world in terms of what is theirs'. But Tiffany Aching, witch in training, sums it up the best - fine, make the whole world yours', make it yours' so you can protect it and fight for it even harder because you have to defend what is yours'. It's the witches desire to protect her family, her friends, her husband or territory or child or what have you that often at least helps to win the day, if not win it outright.

Gethsemane and her spawn? Again - not so much. She doesn't do squat to protect "her" loved ones. Hell, she's a good bit of the reason Jack's dead right now.

I never read Terry Pratchett, but I see what you mean. Instead of being like that, Gethesemane's Sues are like parasites - they carve out some foothold in the world, as Mrs. Lovette's adopted child, as Sara's sister, as the niece of Barbossa, etc, and proceed to latch on to whoever they want and are never held to any responsibilities or consequences of their actions. It's disgusting.

"I think this is what going mad feels like."

Oh, Simon. You said it so well <3

a_lovesuicide March 6 2011, 01:49:26 UTC

Simon always has the most eloquent way of putting things, doesn't he? <3

zelda_queen March 6 2011, 02:24:51 UTC

He certainly does. And so does Mal. Well Suethor, I think my days of taking you seriously are coming to a middle.

southerngaelic March 5 2011, 22:08:40 UTC

Will? Elizabeth? Who the hell are you talking about again?

FUCK YOU, GETHSEMANE.

*sneers* Aw, whatsamatter? You don't like that Jack went about being a manwhore all over the globe? Gets you all bothered, doesn't it, that Jack didn't pine away for you when he left your ass at the alter?

*points* She won't open fire on the guard because she's outnumbered, but she'll inflict her Sue wrath on the only two women present. But hey, they're whores so it's allowed amirite?!

-_-

zelda_queen March 6 2011, 02:25:46 UTC

Gethesesmane's Sues are like cuckoos, who chuck eggs out of nests. Don't do anything but get rid of rivals. -_-

das_mervin March 7 2011, 02:04:48 UTC

Holy crap. Most brilliant description of insertion Sues EVER. Permission to quote you later in a sporking, probably BGCI.

zelda_queen March 7 2011, 02:27:23 UTC

Most certainly! Go right ahead. :)

I'm not sure if it says more about me or her that when that pirate said "Remove" I assumed he meant her clothes.

Me because, well, sick mind, apparently.

Her because
a) I couldn't imagine Gethsemane missing an opportunity to have Kate remove her clothes so we could all see how hot she is (and how I can make an ambiguous pronoun work in my favour).
b) I had actually forgotten Kate was armed.

I also like to think that 'Uncle Hector' was giving her a funny look because well, it's this guy's job to spot weapons and you thought he'd miss the three pistols stuck in your trousers?
