You got the makings of greatness in you. But you've got to take the helm, and chart your own course. Stick to it, no matter the squalls. TREASURE PLANET (NOVEMBER 27 2002)

"Gruff, jaded man accidentally adopts feisty child" has got to be one of my favorite genres

I don't need to explain myself to anyone, as what I'm into and what I'm not is only my business...

So I made this.

Honestly my favorite character of the whole movie of Treasure Planet has to be Long John Silver. Even though he is a sort of a villain of the movie but I’ve always love how much of a father figure he is for Jim Hawkins in the movie.

Also his “You got the makings of greatness in you, but you got to take the helm and chart your own course. Stick to it, no matter the squalls!” is my favorite quote from this movie

What do you think Long Jon Sliver's past was in your Disneyverse?

So! I sat on this for a while, but I finally have some ideas thanks to coming across some more concept art of Treasure Planet 2 as well as an interview about the plot that had some more details about Silver's background in it.

So when I first saw the sketches of Kate Blake, the girl from the canceled Treasure Planet sequal I thought she was Silver's estranged daughter or something, as she had similar features. Of course further digging revealed she was the daughter of Admiral Blake. But I decided I could still tie Silver in to her backstory somewhat after coming across this concept art that shows a young Silver heading off into the Aetherium...

I decided that in my backstory for him, he was in love with an upperclass girl and she him, but he deciedhe needed to go off and make something of himself to be worthy of her, even though she just wanted him to stay

She waited for him, but he never did come back, and she ended up marrying Kate's father and having her with him.

So Silver seeing Kate with Jim later would see the daughter he could have had.

Silver traveled about as a merchant mariner for a whkle, but ended up getting in pirating eventually as it. seemed a faster way to raise his fortunes. But he got in too deep when he took up with Captain Ironbeard (the villain of the canceled sequal, who it would have been revealed was responsible for some of Silver's lost limbs).

Eventually of course he got a crew of his own and determined to go after the legendary treasure of Captain Flint, the one prize he felt could make all his losses worth it.

And of course we all know how that panned out.

Apparently in the sequal Jim and Kate were going to find Silver running a fish shop on a backwater planet somewhere--which was really the front for his smuggling operation.

As the Long John Silver of the book had a wife who helped run his inn on land, I thought in my DisneyVerse I'd give him a business partner in his smuggling operation who would keep him on track, balance out his impetuousness, and eventually become a new love interest for him, since he lost his chance with Kate's mother.

So here's Leanna.

Thanks for the ask! Sorry it took a while!
