Black Captain Hook - Tumblr Posts

so recently i decided 2 go back and read the 1st peter pan book now as an adult and hav concluded that peter is awful and hook was right 2 want 2 kill him in this essay i will,,, ok but fr tho let's begin w/ other stuff aside from that, 1 of the things i was *not* expecting was that from the way J M Barry wrote hook,,, hook was black, he's constantly described as "the black pirate" and also was described w/ an old timey word 2 mean "some1 who has a dark complexion" so basically disney whitewashed captain hook and then every1 else copied disney's design so now every1 thinks hook was white, not relevant 2 the point im making here but i thought it was interesting

ok so now the actual bs peter pan is a over 100 year old pedo, hook in the story was said 2 b black beard's bo'sun which means that peter has been around since b4 then [will explain y b4 then and not at the same time l8r] now this book [peter and wendy] was published in 1911 according 2 the website im using 2 read it [bc i rly don't feel comfortable owning a copy of a book written by an alleged pedo] [c also J M Barry's other work where he wrote a book 4 a family who he was friends w/ abt their irl baby being stripped naked as a gift] and i also no longer hav the audio cassettes of the book i had as a kid and even if i did i don't hav any way 2 play the audio, however if peter is alive in 1911 and was also alive when hook was a child and bo'sun 2 black beard [yes some bo'sun's were children due 2 kids being enlisted in the navy and having 2 run away and a bo'sun is a job where they would just report 2 the captain if any of the crew was doing anything they weren't supposed 2 so this makes sense] peter would at this point b over 100 years old since the golden age of piracy was somewhere in the early 1600s and blackbeard himself died in 1718 according 2 google, so even if we're being generous and say that hook joined peter in 1718 that would still mean he met peter almost 200 years ago

so now onto y i think hook was younger than peter i don't remember 4 sure which book it was in [the 1st book, the 2nd or peter pan in scarlet] but i remember something abt the pirates being the lost boys that peter got bored of that grew up, which would suggest that all the pirates [hook included] were once lost boys, i am choosing 2 stick w/ this given that it is very in character 4 peter, 4 example in the 1st book it's stated that as well as killing the pirates [yes, killing, not fighting and "defeating" them] he also kills lost boys, this is shown by the book saying he "thins the heard" and then again when tootles tells peter 2 kill him and the only reason he doesn't is that wendy stops him

so what makes me think peter is a pedo? i can think of off the top of my head [from what i hav re-read of the 1st book] -a line where it is said that peter "does something" 2 the kids 2 make them fit their trees -peter pan's name being based on a word that was at the time a kid word 4 penis -him sharing a bed w/ all the lost boys and there being a "strict rule against turning w/out giving a signal at which all of them would turn" [which kinda implies they r all spooning] -peter being the father and wendy the mother -his constant flirting w/ wendy -hook being thankful 2 hav gone into the hideout "unmolested" [which suggests that he was by peter when hook was a lost boy] -the bit where wendy asks for a type of flower called "babies" for her house they r building around her and the lost boys not knowing that this is a type of flower and knowing peter doesn't either "rush to start singing again before peter orders babies" so basically they knew that peter would demand for them 2 try 2 make babies if they didn't stop him

aside from that peter is also just abusive even if u don't agree w/ me abt him being a pedo [again just what I remember off the top of my head from book 1] -despite what the films say, in the book his imaginary meals only made him feel full but he hit those that didn't play along -as mentioned previously he kills lost boys -he hits the fairies -he kills pirates even when they aren't going anywhere near him "for fun" -the lost boys "aren't allowed 2 know anything peter doesn't know abt" -2 make the lost boys look different from him he makes them make clothes out of bearskin from bears they hav 2 kill themselves

so yeh peter pan was awful and hook was right 2 try 2 kill him given that peter was just kidnapping children and then doing all this bs
