The fascinating thing about these two adaptations is that they're both equally horny for the doctor, but, like, in diametrically opposite ways.

I am very disappointed in the people praising the censoring / editing of Roald Dahl's books.   Let me tell you a little story.   About five years ago I decided to re-visit Treasure Island.  I found an unabridged version.   I was surprised to discover that Long John Silver had a black lover.   Because the book used the term "n--ress" the mention of her was removed from many American editions of the book when I grew up.

Note: I am not saying they removed the N word.  I am saying they removed her *all together.* I didn't know Long John Silver had a love interest until I was in my thirties and read an unabridged version of the novel. It revealed so much about the story that I hadn't noticed before. 1.  That Long John Silver believed in love despite what was considered a cultural norm of the time.  He didn't care about what others considered proper and he was in love. 2.   It shows that even Robert Louis Stevenson acknowledged the existence of interracial couples and yet no movie version I can think of addressed this until the TV series Black Sails. 3. It helped remind me of the culture of the era in which Treasure Island takes place and when it was written, the stigma against interracial relationships that existed in America right into the twentieth century and in some places is still a thing. Sometimes books tell us more than just a story.   They show us how a world was once viewed.   I felt like this was an important discovery, that Long John Silver had a black lover (or wife).   And I was even a little angry that I had been robbed of this in previous readings of the book.   I think the removal of words like "Fat" and "ugly" from Roald Dahl's books does us a disservice.   It "cleans up" the past and denies a chance for us to learn some of the less pleasant aspects of the past and how and why language has changed since then.    What should be a teaching point and experience is lost in the name of sensitivity.   I felt cheated and it even felt a little racist that Long John Silver's love interest isn't mentioned in many editions of Treasure Island.  And I feel that one day there may be similar feelings if people discover they aren't reading the original versions of Dahl's books. Try to remember the original reason Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit  451.  It wasn't about an evil government taking away people's blooks. It was about this group and that group getting offended at various titles until they just banned everything to try to make everyone happy.

the treasure island psychological horror movie starring luke arnold and toby stephens and some kid that plays jim hawkins except the only times flint is on screen is when silver sees him out of the corner of his eye the same way rogers sees eleanor in 4x09

think about the scene in black sails where silver stomps dufresne to death with his prosthetic leg after dufresne makes some nasty ableist comments.

think about the scene in treasure island where silver agrees to have a civil conversation with captain smollett, smollett asks silver to sit down in the sand, silver says "okay but only if you help me up afterwards," then when the conversation is over silver asks for a hand up and smollett refuses and so does everyone else, and jim and the squire and dr livesey just stand there watching in silence as silver crawls across the sand until he reaches a place where he can hoist himself back up to standing, and even then silver's own crew member who had come with him watches silver stumble across the sand and doesn't bother to help him walk until after silver has fallen over "four or five [times]."

think about how in black sails the tavern goes quiet when dufresne starts to speak, and stays quiet throughout silver's retaliation. think about how that scene is a moment of power-- a turning point toward silver embracing the darkness.

think about how in treasure island the camp goes quiet when silver wriggles pathetically across the sand, and stays quiet throughout silver's retreat. think about how that scene is a moment of indignity and hatred and shame-- a turning point toward silver declaring all-out war against jim and the crew of the hispaniola.

think about "my name is john silver, and I've got a long fucking memory."

think about "laugh, by thunder, laugh! before an hour's out, ye'll laugh upon the other side. them that die'll be the lucky ones."

would you still hit if I had no backstory, my name wasn’t even my real name, I wasn’t even a cook, I didn’t want to be a pirate, I stole your gold then lying abt it then giving it up then telling you about it, “it must be awful being you”, I was combination of both abandonment and commitment issues, burned your fav boat, smashed a guy's head with my prosthetic leg, will probably thought you controlled the weather with your mind, using a gun point against you after you spent time teaching me how to sword fight AND named my parrot after you?

"You're being shagged by a rare parrot!"

In Treasure Island, parrot Captain Flint is described as green, so now I can't unsee her as a kakapo - my most favourite very large and flightless parrot from half way around the world 💚 She gets to annoy Black Sails' Silver (older version) because he never did get a parrot by the time the show ended.

#my art #black sails #treasure island #john silver #parrot captain flint #kakapo #i know a female parrot isn't likely to be doing the shagging but i couldn't resist using this reference #besides she's captain flint she does what she wants #although i started this for the lols it gave me an opportunity to draw older silver with a little more silver in his beard #and i made his clothing colour palette more like flint's and made his scowl a little more flinty too because wheeeheeheeheeheeehehheheeeee
