My copy of Jim’s Journal, the Treasure Planet junior novel just came in, and it’s FANTASTIC for a kids book. Here’s every other line some little key points that caught my attention for anyone curious. There’s a few canon movie contradictions in it, so whether you consider it canon or not is up for debate, but it’s basically a quarter inch thick essay on Treasure Planet details.
The dates on this thing make no sense. Jim gets the map on “02.0-106.00″ and gets home on “029.0-028.50″. I have no idea how high these numbers scale or the scope of it.
Jim is an AMAZING artist. (Here’s some of my favorite examples) He regularly draws very detailed pictures of moments in time, as well as scenery pictures that includes himself. New headcanon. It can be argued pretty seriously that Jim has an Eidetic memory, and GREAT visual memory, which makes sense with how well he picks up new skills with a little example.
Jim beats the best solar surfer on Montressor (Ray Quandree) in a race a bit before the movie
The little frog girl that eats the spoonful of Delbert’s food at the beginning of the movie is named Angela Legintoe, her species is called Loppytonians (in other media, they are Benbonians) and she tends to spill her Zirellian jellyworms on the table. Jim hates cleaning it up.
An entire two pages of solar surfing lingo
Jim has mixed feelings about his father. When an old spacer that used to work with the old man show up and tell stories, Jim is all about hearing them. He just doesn’t want to talk about the old man.
Jim accidentally breaks a whole tray of plates when exhausted and feels so bad about it he spends all night trying to glue them back together to make his mom feel better (MY HEART)
The Armada is repeatably referred to as “The Queen’s Armada”. Space has a queen.
The Solar surfing Galactic Grand Prix takes place on Crescentia.
Apparently Doppler studied “Modern spheroid cryptology” in his undergrad days and was totally stumped by the map
Jim’s mom gave him a huge list of stuff to pack, of which he only took “5 T-shirts”, “6 pairs underwear and socks”, and “toothbrush and toothpaste”
the most interesting things he crossed off on taking were “Royal Galactic Passport”, “System Health Services Immunization Form”, and “Solarium Crystals”
Doppler’s space suit is about 100 years out of style. (OH MY GOD)
For those of us who know nothing about boats, the Legacy is apparently a solar Galleon
Captain Amelia battled with the Procyan Armada
Jim was actually terrified during the fight with Scroop, to the point of shaking. Silver saving him was a huge deal for him.
Scroop is the Rigger in charge and was good friends with Oxy and Moron (the torso and head tentacle guy). The other riggers are Greedy, Dogbreath (”Brush your teeth, my friend!”, and actual quote from Jim), and Birdbrain Mary. The ships gunner (the guy with huge thighs who shoots down the escape ship) is named Meltdown, and he’s also the mechanic. The Ropers are named Hands, Pigors, Aquanoggin, and Schwartzkopf.
Jim get’s etherium sickness when it gets a little rough (like seasickness), and regrets tossing the medicine his mother packed for him
Jim admires Amelia’s abilities as a captain.
Amelia once almost single-handedly saved seven ships during a battle, and was the youngest spacer to ever be made captain.
There was a Kattindog (HA oh my god, please tell me that’s her species name) Quasar War 15 years before the movie, and Amelia was awarded the Green Badge of Honor for her deeds
Silver tells bad pirate jokes to pass time.
Jim thinks They Are Hilarious. I am 100% serious, it’s the highlight of his day.
Jim’s duties include scrubbing the astrobarnicals from the keel, swabbing both decks, organizing the food stores, cleaning the crow’s nest, bathrooms, and oven, helping with food prep, refilling all water containers, checking all ropes and lines, and making one cafe lattoid for Captain Amelia each morning, delivered at 7am sharp
There’s a recipe for Bonzabeast Stew that Silver wrote down for him and he just taped it into the journal the dork. The recipe is full of sailing puns
you need one whole bonzabeast and it has to be defuzzed first.
make sure to include all 12 eyeballs for flavor
A bit of movie contradiction. The scene from “I’m still here” where Silver is showing Jim how to tie knots is different. Here, Silver took him up to the crows nest to surprise Jim. They watched a close by planet (Saxonite, which has huge rings) pass by, and Silver teaches him knots to pass the time. Jim was SUPER into it and it takes up like SIX WHOLE pages of this 50 page thing
Silver teaches Jim an old spacer song. It’s really morbid
Jim suspected that Amelia and Doppler had a thing for each other before Arrow even died.
Jim’s not only betrayed by Silver’s mutiny. He’s positive Silver knew about Jim’s connection to the map and was using him all along
Jim’s thought processed about Silver after the mutiny is HEARTBREAKING
Like a good section of this book is Jim zigzagging between beating himself up over being fooled and being mad at Silver and it hurts
Jim’s reasoning for not going with Silver is “If there’s one thing I learned from that bucket of bolts, it’s that I have to chart my own course” and now i’m crying
Another canon contradiction, Amelia doesn’t tell him about her recommendation to the Astro Academy until after they land.
Amelia’s wounds were bad enough that she had to go to the hospital overnight
Jim. Is. A. Sap.
Seriously “It never would have happened if it weren’t for that old pirate who helped me find the real treasure - the one inside of myself!”
Amelia graduated from the academy in 005
I WAS GOING SCROLLING THROUGH GOOGLE IMAGES FOR ART REFERENCES, SAW THIS AND IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF THIS
KING DYMAS IS THAT YOU!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
wow that beard tho
I know the nose isn't the same and he's probably a tad bit older but shhhhh let's pretend.
I feel sorry for the Gen-Z kids who see a Millenial or Gen-Y person’s Treasure Planet fan works and says to them,
“Hey, I really like this SciFi/Steampunk Treasure Island au you made! Reinterpreting Jim Hawkins as an angsty teen, and Long John Silver as a cyborg, that’s freaking awesome!”
They do not know the years of pain and outrage they have just tapped into.
Ohhhhh hold up ima look that up that’s rreally interesting
the goated pentology of films written by extremely random people
titan ae—joss whedon
stuart little—m night shyamalan
madagascar 3 europe’s most wanted—NOAH BAUMBACH???????? ????????
armageddon—jj abrams
sinbad legend of the seven seas—the guy who wrote gladiator, the aviator, and skyfall. he also wrote and directed that new movie they/them. turns out he is gay. this all explains a lot about why sinbad is the way that it is.
How the movie should have ended, am I right? yeap yeap.
wow what is anatomy? x v x
and thanks for the idea scribs. ♥
Private courtyard-night
Proteus has his back pressed against a marble column holding his wounded side, he’s panting hard trying to hold a steady breath as he glares at his attacker.
Protues
(To Nero)
I’ll kill you
Nero
(To Proteus )
I’d like to see you try
Nero strides over reaches over and grabs a fistful of Proteus’s hair yanking his head back as he smiles wide ready to throw the prince onto the ground
Proteus
(He lets dagger slip from his sleeve and presses it against Nero’s neck , before Nero could carry out his little game of toss and fetch.)
(To Nero he grits out)
Drag me like a rag doll again and I’ll dig this deeper into your throat you beast
Idk I’m trying to see if I like using the script format if writing ( I’m considering doing it in this style cause it actually makes it easier for me to lay out scenes better )
This is a small snippet
I’ll definitely update this and change the name I haven’t decided what Greek name I’d use for the vampire ^this ones a place holder ^not an official fic or short
Honestly would be amazing especially for an older casting , throw in some Grey hair at the front (silver vixen)✨
Y'know what? Seeing Lee Pace in all that blue, it made me realize He would make an amazing Live Action Proteus should li d DreamWorks decide to remake Sinbad in the next few years
I mean, look at him
Give that boy some extensions and we're good!
Dreamworks, let them hug and kiss goddamit!
I imagine, that the crew didn’t leave immediately after the movie finale, but stayed for a few days until their ship was properly repaired. King Dymas generously granted them the best shipwrights and craftsmen for the repairs and Proteus in turn spent some time with Sinbad’s crew. Drunk shenanigans ensue.
Marina is relieved to see Proteus FINALLY act on his feelings since he basically could never shut up about his childhood best friend that disappeared for a century. The OT3 are unseparable until the crew leaves Syracuse to girlboss their way through the world. Minus Proteus because of his princely duties. Sinbad and Marina do however visit him regularly and bring him the most ridiculous souvenirs from their adventures.
they literally give me the same vibes
-Sinbad and Trevor
act like they don't care (they really care)
stubborn
angsty (eh just a tad bit for Sinbad)
sarcastic
ruggedly handsome
dumb bitch energy but still gets shit done when times get serious
low-key messy mid length hair
good leaders
-Marina and Sypha
UMMM FUCKEN QUEENS
will fuck u up
don't take shit from men
know damn well their the shit
big dick energy
is actually the leader but lets (Trevor /sinbad) think that
they both have short hair
-Proteus and Alucard
regal babes
literal cinnamon rolls
will die for you
deserve better
(also one of the main things that are similar to me is that Sinbad and marina leave proteus just like Trevor and Sypha leave Alucard )
lawful good
um he is beauty he is grace and he will stab u in the face with his sword
both have long hair
sinbad and proteus may be my fav red and blue otp but i live for the ot3 too
