--there was some that was feared of Pew, and some that was feared of Flint; but Flint his own self was feared of me.
figuring out some looks for captain flint and long john silver :)
I read treasure island for the first time when I was 11 and hated it, but decided to re read it last year because. like. black sails is an all time favorite show and nc wyeth's treasure island illustrations are some of my favorite illustrations ever. sometimes you gotta revisit the source, you know! what did my 11 yr old self know about pirates and ghosts anyway.
anyway, I re read it and fucking loved it, I understand why so many people want to put their own spin on it in some way or another. I can't. stop talking to people about this book.
also this is extremely funny to me because also had the same experience with jekyll and hyde
#I read Treasure Island as a kid and loved it#though I can't say I was an average kid#I read it again as an adult#and I was deeply concerned for Jim Hawkins#that kid sees so much death over the course of the novel!#of course as a kid used to reading fantasy and adventure books with kid heroes it feels normal#but as an adult I was like#“IS THAT KID OKAY??? IS ANYONE MAKING SURE THAT KID IS OKAY???”#treasure island
