you can't convince me they haven't gotten into an old boat in the name of adventure and realized too late it was full of holes

Feel like a largely undiscussed aspect of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (and Tom Sawyer) is that Huck and Tom have likely known Jim almost their whole lives if not their whole lives.
And at the very least, they would have known him for a couple years if you say Miss Watson and Widow Douglas bought him recently to the start of the book…. But I think that’s less likely. I think Jim has been in St. Petersburg a while.
Either way, that’s years in which they were running around outside avoiding almost any other adults. But, they loved hanging out and admittedly messing with Jim.
(I like a common adaptation headcanon where Jim kinda knows or fully knows when they are fooling him and plays into it to make them laugh)
So, when Huck is so comfortable around Jim and so protective of Jim that’s definitely part of it. Like I don’t read Huck as this bias-less super righteous character, he’s a kid who’s father abuses him, but this enslaved man he knows and likes becomes a somewhat surrogate father and friend to him and he comes to see Jim as a person rather than “a slave”
Similarly when questioning like ‘why would Jim go with Tom and Huck’s escape plan?’ I think there’s two factors: 1. He knows they are already taking a big risk helping him escape so he doesn’t want to upset them and they stop helping him (big one) and 2. He likes them, they are friends to him. He wants them to be happy.
Also ‘why does Jim help the doctor save Tom when he could escape?’ Because Jim has known this boy for YEARS he’s not gonna just stand there hiding while he bleeds out.

reading through mark twain’s catalogue of books will be like:
social stratification is so extreme that society will treat functionally identical people in opposite ways for merely believing that they have different origins, forcing them to either be crushed by or perpetuate the unjust system of government that began this whole situation.
even the most brilliant innovator who fights tirelessly to improve the rights of the people will face pushback from bigots resisting any kind of threat to their power that can manipulate the masses into giving up their rights in order to preserve the status quo.
local rascal plays a prank on his neighbors and starts a pirate club :D
discrimination and violence is baked so deeply into the foundations of society that children wanting to do the right thing will believe they are condemning themselves to hell by defying authority in favor of viewing oppressed minorities as humans deserving of rights.

I got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally said she's going to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can't stand it. I been there before.

say what you want but the first gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss moment was when Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, and Jim convinced a slave witches were making him hear things and they didn’t know each other after Jim greeted Tom and Huck by name.
