What he says: I'm fine

What he's thinking: A common criticism of Treasure Planet is saying Morph is just there for marketable purposes, but the existence of Morph, and Silver's explanation as to why he has him, implies that Silver is a smol lil guy hoarder and no one is surprised when he starts getting attached to Jim because it's completely in character for him to get emotionally attached to weaker creatures despite his tough guy persona. He's worried the crew will disown him for this weak spot but by now they just roll their eyes because oh look, the captain has a new hyperfixation, wonder how long it'll take for this one to join the collection. Anyway in this essay I will--

#Silver in the modern world would absolutely hoard chihuahuas and you know it #“Scroop I am not obsessed”#“you have a problem”#“no--”#“captain you alwaysss hoard little animals you're fooling no one”#“I'm tough”#“I know captain”#the fact Scroop is less interested in the fact he's gotten attached to Jim #and more about the fact his attachment to Jim might disrupt their plans #it just convinces me this is not the first time this has happened #maybe the first time he's adopted a child though #treasure planet #disney #john silver #jim hawkins #morph #mr scroop
