Hi this is pickles its funny robonarkles and me reviewed on nearly the same day but we're not the same dude i assure you. just 2020 brothers. Haha awesome

damn the reviews are so long. your story rocks but you havent updated in so long and you probably wont but i like it anyway. is there gonna be noncon in this? just cuz i'd like to know before since it seems slightly implied

I saw the note on your profile and I'd like to apologize for coming to the wrong conclusion.
As for the story, I've never been more horrified or more gripped by a plot. I've been looking for a TP fic of this caliber and holy crap, does it not pull its punches. I'm hoping that this won't be the last update.

Uh... this is basically a copy of another story on the site.

Love this story, love how the story shifts, and I can't wait for what happens next! Please keep it up...(Also, I love the way of how Jim is suffering and sort...( ͡ ͜ʖ ͡ ))

I’ve read and re-read this so many times I could recite it in my sleep , I love it !
Your writing is so original and exciting and this is the best fic written for treasure planet out of them all, possibly the best fic on this entire site .
You are an amazing writer and I love your stories , please don’t give up or abandon this fic , I read it as often as I am possible and will always choose this out of anything else .
I can’t wait to read what happens to jim and how scroop handles jim being taken away from his torture , I eagerly await the next chapter ,no matter how long it takes , I’ll be here to read it .

wow, great story! when are you going to update it?

Would love to see how this continues! Amazing job!

whooooooopsss. did i seriously forget to review this? how dare me. okay but i actually READ this sometime...last week, i think? i just didn't have time to drop a long comment on my way out so i was like that's fair i'll just do it tomorrow! and then i fucking DIDNT. sorry about that! :P so while i play treasure planet in the background i will review. #lifegoals

okay so first off this chapter was excellent as usual. i was actually a bit confused at the end there when delbert said he couldn't find treasure planet 'cause my first thought was ...of course you can't. it blew up my man. where were you? and then i had to remind myself this is an au b/c your writing is just that good that sometimes i forget myself. anyways though.

aLSO jiM. mY SOn. mY CHiLD. MY BAbY. MY SON. WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO HIM. WHY? WHY? HOW DARE. I GOT SO CHOKED UP WHEN HE STARTED CRYING HONESTLY I LOVE HIM. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO HIM. WHY.
ughhhhh my poor son :C aND WHEN SILVER PULLED HIM INTO A HUG? AND HE WAS LIKE "I DIDNT MEAN TO HELP THEM"? JUST? FUCKING KILL ME? PLS? B/C? I AM DEAD? ughhhhhhh why do i have to love them so much... also when jim asked if the rest of the crew was dead & silver said no & jim was like ...oh and he sounded so disappointed i just xDDDDD jim. jim is absolutely wonderful. i love & adore & support him. aND WHEN SILVER GAVE jIM hiS COaT jUsT LAy ME iN thE FUCkING gROuNd pLeASE. and when jim asked if he could go w/ silver i just? i crY? i cry so much? jim is too precious & pure? for this world? AND BY THE WAY THE LINE ABOUT "THOSE DAMNED SAD EYES" OR WHATEVER? UM? KILL ME? SERIOUSLY? JUST? END MY LIFE? JUST. JUST. END MY LIFE. JUST SLAY ME. JUST LAY ME IN THE GROUND PLS. I CANT TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS.
also jim falling asleep to the sound of ben talking made me really unreasonably happy 'cause like. i guess it's just nice to know someone besides silver ((and by that i mean someone with clearer morals)) can serve as any kind of comfort to him right now. Lord knows he needs it.
AND SPEAKING OF BEN LETS TALK ABOUT HOW JIM OFFERS TO KEEP HIM QUIET. PLS. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS. I THINK WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS. JIM IS SO PURE. I LOVE HIM. & as much as i complain about him, i really do like ben too. just. in very VERY small doses xDDD aLSO THE IM STILL HERE MONTAGE IS COMING ON IN THE BACKGROUND & IM NOT EMOTIONALLY PREPARED. SO NOW JOHN RZEZNIK IS SINGING. AND JIM AND SILVER ARE BONDING. AND I! AM! NOT! READY!
basically i need to hug something. unfortunately i don't have any treasure planet related plushies, so i'll have to settle for my stuffed toothless from httyd.

i think that's all i've got? i think i'm good now. okay i'm sorry if this comment is too short/too long/all over the place/whatever. i tried my best. what i mean is i really liked this chapter & i think you're an amazing writer and i love this story to pieces and i will never stop reviewing no matter how much real life tries to get in the way. i might take a little while to get my review out there but i won't ever just STOP reviewing with no warning. basically you're amazing & i will follow this fic until the end of time. i love it & i love you. keep writing!

HOLD IT

HOOOOOOLLDDDD IT.

HOOOOOLLLLD EVERYTHING.

HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE

HEY HI HELLO YEAH UM EXCUSE ME

BUT WHY THE *FUCK* IS JIM TIED TO THE BED? EXACTLY WHY DID SOMEBODY TIE THIS KID TO A BED, WITH A SCARF, NO LESS, AND THEN PROCEED TO WHIP HIM? IF YOU ACTUALLY HAD THAT HAPPEN IF YOU ACTUALLY LEGIT HAD SCROOP DO THAT YOU FUCKING SAID THERE WASN'T GOING TO BE ANY VIOLENCE OF THE SEXUAL NATURE? WASN'T THAT WHAT YOU SAID? AND SCROOP HIMSELF SAYS HE FEELS NO DESIRE WHATSOEVER FOR JIM? LIKE HE'S LEGITIMATELY JUST COMING ONTO THE KID TO FREAK HIM OUT? SO WHAT IN THE NAME OF JUPITER IS GOING ON HERE? WAS IT SOMEBODY ELSE? DID *SOMEBODY ELSE* MAYBE RAPE JIM AND SCROOP JUST SORTA HELPED BY TYING HIM UP AND STUFF? ((ok if it was somebody else that wouldn't be SO bad b/c then at least he wouldn't have been forced into it by the same person who's spent the last like month - I don't know how long it's been since you never mentioned it obvs but rn I'm going to tentatively suggest it's been about a month? - torturing and humiliating and fucking traumatizing this poor, poor kid. either way, Scroop or not, whoever did this to him - if it WAS indeed a non-consensual sexual act, deserves to die. i hope everyone in this fic with the obvious exception of Jim, Silver, Sarah and Doppler, go to burn in hell. oh, and Ben! Ben can't burn in hell. or Morph. b/c. you know. those two are precious af.))
seriously though, WHAT the hell is this. i don't. even. what. WHY is Jim tied to a bed with a scarf? WHY does there also happen to be a whip? WHY is he missing his shirt? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. MY HEART IS LEGIT HURTING PLS TELL ME I'M WRONG BUT THIS LOOKS INTENSE AF PLS PLS PLS TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE.

ok but it rly made me sad how jim was so scared to go in the larder ;-; ptsd is an ugly thing, and it looks like jim is in for a lot of it after the events of this fic. and somebody like jim - who already has an extremely hard time forgiving his own, and others', flaws, will probably take a v long time to even accept that he isn't okay. probably take a while for him to get past all the frustration he'll probably feel b/c "ok I'm OUT of that situation now why the FUCK am I having nightmares/insomnia/whatever? why the fuck can't I even think about that shit without freaking out I SHOULD be okay what the fuck is wrong with me, God..." and yeah. basically. i just feel he'll have a really hard time healing from this, particularly b/c self-compassion is a big thing in recovery, esp. from any type of abuse, and he'd constantly just beat himself up for NOT being okay. so. yeah. even if Jim survives he's going to have tons of trauma to cope with, and I absolutely hate you. and what is scroop going to do when Jim is back in his hands (claws?). you know what i don't even want to think about it. I don't. even want to think about it.

anyway. aww poor nameless alien woman died, that's actually sad. i don't even know her. but it's SAD ok. you know I actually kinda expected Jim to try and do something - we've already seen plenty of times over in the film that here is someone who isn't afraid to take serious action if need be, and he's kinda impulsive and fearless and reckless af - aaaaand then i had to remind myself that this AU Jim has spent the majority of his time lately in constant, horrible fear, and has probably reached the point where he just goes along to get along by now. just, yeah, they murdered this person, and it's horrible, but it isn't like i can do anything, they'll only kill her and then probably me? that's really sad, though. one of my fave things about canon jim is how utterly fearless he is. the only time we ever see him even a little scared is when he and Scroop fight when he goes to get the map back off the ship. like. that is IT? and then in this fic he's probably v afraid of Scroop - probably legitimately TERRIFIED, come to that - and just the thought is making me emotional af. b/c now i have to live with the knowledge that jim will never be that fearless again. he's known real terror now, and he'll never, ever be that bold ever again. he's going to go back to montressor so so different from the boy who left, and my heart just breaks for him. please can i give him a hug now?
((ps: silver where the fuck are you bitch. your surrogate son got tied to a bed and whipped and possibly raped. where the fuck. did you go. get your scurvy little ass back here and get jim and yourself the hell out of dodge. for fuck's sake silver. get your shit together.))

OKAY.

SO.

before I start let me just add here I KNOW i am reviewing super late and i assure you i feel like absolute SHIT about that but riiighttt around the time you updated i literally lost all motivation. for EVERYTHING. i legitimately didn't want to do anything. so i just sort of...didn't. and THEN ((because yes MORE shit happened)) i was finally getting myself back into the swing of my usual routine, and i then I unexpectedly got super busy? first I'm publishing a book and then I'm in the throes of nano wrimo, and then I'm working on SOO many projects and then real life is getting in the way and aghjygb. essentially it's been a pretty grueling fall imo.
BUT on the plus side this fic remains one of the most glorious TP fics I've ever had the privilege of reading so i will ALWAYS review. it just might take me a bit of time here and there :P

soo let us start! :3

OKAY BUT AHHHH THAT BEGINNING
I
SUPPORT
THE
ABSOLUTE SHIT
OUT OF THAT BEGINNING
OKAY
((DON'T ASK ME WHY BUT I MAY OR MAY NOT BE UTTER TRASH FOR THOSE FICS WHERE JIM GETS KIDNAPPED BY PIRATES AND THEY MAKE HIM WORK FOR THEM INSTEAD OF JUST TORTURING HIM I DUNNO WHY BUT THEY ARE MY THING. I MAY OR MAY NOT BE IN THE PROCESS OF WRITING ONE MYSELF. SHUT UP. DON'T ASK.))
oooon that note though:

"Why did you do that? You know he's gonna be pissed!"
I canNOT get that line out of my head. it just really says so much about everything Jim has gone through that his first thought is Scroop's reaction to something. the Jim from the beginning - or even the end - of the film wouldn't have given two shits about whether or not Scroop was mad. and by now he's probably learned that when Scroop is mad he gets hurt and-OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT I AM MAKING MYSELF SAD I AM MOVING ON
I'm STILL a little upset though tbh over the fact that Silver shut Ben off xDD like there is SO much else to be worrying about in this fic but I can't help it, I can't put that little robot out of my mind. I mean he's legitimately harmless? someone wants to fight him and he'll probably convince them to chase butterflies with him instead I mean the guy is fucking harmless and Silver shuts him off because he's annoying and that just saddens me so much. ((and before I get off the subject one of my absolute favorite things in the world is how Ben is ALWAYS hugging Jim xDD sure he gets on my nerves but for some reason his persistent need to hug Jim is for sure one of my favorite things xDD))
BUT. like i said. there's more to worry about.

I'm really into the idea of an exclusively pirate spaceport, by the way. I dunno why it's never occurred to me before but OF COURSE there WOULD be ports run entirely by pirates for them to conduct their own shady business, and it works so well here and feels so legit and AHH. this is great. I'm so about this.
I'm reallyyy sad this chapter ended with Jim being mad at Silver again :( UGH these two need to just hug it out ((i mean if we're getting real here you can't technically just hug out weeks' worth of abuse and trauma and psychological torture, but let's pretend for the moment that you CAN)) and frickin get back on the same side. ugh i'm sorry i just love them so much, I can't bear to see them at odds XDD
ANYWAY though I'm so super excited for the next chapter! :)

- .ryder

As a warning I'm probably gonna be really vague and weird and I might sound drunk I am not but I looked at this chapter and I FUCKING KNEW IT WAS GONNA HURT ME AND YOU KNOW WHAT I DID I WENT AND READ IT AND ALSO REWATCHED HOND. JUST LET THAT SINK IN. I DEALT WITH ALL THAT EMOTION IN ONE FORTY-EIGHT HOUR PERIOD JUST DAMN I FEEL LIKE I DESERVE A MEDAL DO YOU HEAR ME.
So basically now I am an emotional MESS and I'm sure that will spill over into this review and I'd like to apologize in advance for that.

So. That first scene kinda hurt. And by "kinda" I mean it fucking ripped out my soul and stepped on the shattered pieces. I just feel SO horrible for poor Sarah ;-; she and Jim are pretty fucked up in this fic. I mean they are in canon too I guess but LESS so b/c in canon Sarah never dealt with thinking her son might legitimately be dead or at least getting to that point and Jim never got tortured and I am both disappointed and relieved by that cause Jim is the most precious bae to ever breathe so his pain is my pain but his pain is also delicious and I lap it up hence why I enjoy this story so much ANYWAY basically that first scene really hurt. I feel so bad for Sarah and I just kinda wish I could step into the story myself and promise her that everything's going to be okay and that Jim's still alive and it looks like he's gonna get out and things are going to work out but at the same time I couldn't with a clear conscience say something like that b/c what if? what if there is more pain in store for this most beloved bae and what if everything's NOT okay and Jim DOESN'T get out and things DON'T work out for him? I just. I really WANT to believe he's going to pull through but you're clearly not afraid to handle dark shit, and that both pleases and unnerves me b/c I love the angst but I still like happy endings I am not so far gone that I would legitimately enjoy a character death but OBVIOUSLY you're the author so it is ENTIRELY up to you and whatever happens I will support you even if it is through my tears

And now I'm super curious about Amelia's bit...it seems as though she jumped to conclusions rather fast and even though that's completely in-character for her, considering what we picked up of her background in the film, is it logical? Like. Did she ACTUALLY lock her door b/c I don't think so? So did she just leave it unlocked and did some staff member just come in and putter around and...? I mean, it's still unnerving to think a stranger has access to you while you're asleep and thus at your most vulnerable and it fits well with her character that it would unsettle her to that point but I'm just reserving judgment on that?

And then. That last scene. Right there.

Okay you know what I legitimately think the worst part of this whole thing - and by worst I mean the most sad and shocking and infuriating part - is Scroop's...his way of...I mean he fucking DELIGHTS in this. He is taking an actual JOY in doing this to Jim like I shouldn't even be surprised considering how savage and bloodthirsty he could be in canon I should NOT be surprised and it just makes me so fucking pissed b/c like he is THRILLED by this it legitimately fucking THRILLS him. He takes an actual, vicious DELIGHT in tormenting and humiliating Jim like this - in torturing him like this, making him believe he's actually being hurt, there's actual blood and then turns around and humiliates him by making him realize he was overreacting this whole time he takes a fucking joy in doing this to him and then just. fuck. I didn't want to say it but I will: Scroop is one sick motherfucker. He still deserves death, and I would vouch for candle wax but I'm willing to look at other methods at this point. I fucking hate him. And I may have to cut this short b/c like I said I looked at this chapter and knew it was gonna hurt and I read it and rewatched HoND and cried a lot all in the space of a scant forty-eight hours so I'm still super emotional and if I don't leave I'm in real danger of sobbing again if I don't
I'm just
Everyone in this fic needs either a warm hug and hot chocolate or death in the darkest dungeons and THERE'S NO FUCKING MIDDLE GROUND

FUCK. Just I don’t even know what to say beyond this. I mean just fuck.

Everything played out so perfectly and yet so terribly and it was all so amazing and it just rose to a fucking crescendo at the end and I don’t think I have anything to say that will possibly do this chapter justice but damn if I don’t try.
Regarding the first scene…I discussed my uncertainty on Amelia’s character back in my first review, and I won’t get into it again here, as I trust you remember my initial points the first time around, but I will say this – I should hate her here. I should really hate her. And I hate to say it, but I don’t.

You’ve painted her in this horrible and harsh light and, if anything, it just makes me want to see even more of her. It’s just a gripping portrayal you have here – and even though I feel she’s completely in the wrong, even though she’s blaming a child for something that she knows, or at least by now suspects, wasn’t his fault, was completely beyond his control, even though this makes her one cold bitch, I can’t hate her. This is just such a fascinating take on her, and I can’t get past it. I shouldn’t like it, but I do – it gives her character so much depth, so much dimension and weight and realism, which I really felt she lacked in canon. A lot of Treasure Planet feminists hail her as an “icon”, but to me, she just felt extremely flat and conventional, but this…I *love this*. I mean, she’s terrible, and I get that – I don’t care that she hates Jim, but like I said, if you possess power over a child and you use that power wrongly, you use that power knowingly and you use it to do damage, you’re pretty much unforgivable to me. And as she expresses little to no interest in getting Jim away from the pirates, as she appears, by the end of the scene, to hold the power to stage a rescue, and as she appears reluctant to use it… she’s nothing short of awful at this point. So from a critical standpoint, is she ranking somewhere below pond scum? Absolutely. But does it work? Fuck yes! And it’s amazing!

And then…

Well, I said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t think I have anything to say that will possibly do this chapter justice…but damn if I don’t try.
So let’s just plunge right in.

To start it off, the world-building literally took my breath away; I loved every bit of the scene in the spaceport – in fact, I got so into it that it was an honest effort to remind myself I wasn’t there beside Silver the whole time! I loved how everything felt…it felt…God, I’m not even sure I know how to describe it, but I guess…it was gritty. It was gritty and it was real and I like it. I like that you didn’t try to prettify or sugarcoat things – as much as this is all hurting Jim (and because of that it hurts me) I actually like that you’re not trying to downplay it. As uncertain as I felt about Silver at first, I actually find myself enjoying your portrayal of him more and more – I feel a lot of people attempt to soften or compromise his character, and it just doesn’t work for me. It’s like you said – he is a pirate, he is calloused, he can be cruel and insensitive to others’ suffering, and that’s just the way he is and it doesn’t mean he’s necessarily a thoroughly bad person, it just makes him human.
Before I wander too far, and lose sight of the topic at hand, I just want to add here that I love Taelin, especially his line about stuffing and mounting the rat. You really have a talent for playing up throwaway bits like that to a plausible extent. (OH but Taelin and Silver’s exchange about Jim made me both unreasonably angry and a little sad xD)

But but but but THEN

THEN Silver GOES TO JIM’S CELL and TALKS TO HIM

For fuck’s sake Silver stop playing with my emotions I can’t handle much more of this ;-; I confess I felt really unprepared for that, but at the same time the instant Silver started talking to him I was like I never realized how badly I needed this until it was right in front of me xD I just loved everything about it even though it kind of broke my heart and then mended it again and then broke it AGAIN and now I’m sitting here cradling the bleeding and broken bits ;-; ugh I’m just weak af xD but seriously the whole thing I could SEE it playing out in front of me. Like. I could feel Jim tensing when he says that first line (“the fuck do you want?”) like I got such a rush reading that the first time around. It promises tension and excitement and also I see now it promises heartbreak but I didn’t see that initially so I came woefully unready ;-;
I think the most heart-rending thing about the whole exchange though was Jim; and what makes it even worse is how we see it through Silver’s eyes. Not Jim’s, where we could shrug off the pain or rationalize or downplay or minimize it – no, we see it from Silver’s eyes, so we see it like it is and we see how…how empty Jim is, how broken, and how he’s trying so hard and he’s just going through so much and he’s trying to be strong and just every word that passes his lips just makes that so evident. It kills me. And he’s trying but he can’t help it, he misses Silver and the familiarity and comfort from that relationship, and he misses it and he’s trying so hard not to but he’s just a kid, he’s just a kid and he’s scared and he’s alone, and he resists for so long and then he just totally breaks (“It hurts,” he whimpered, looking down.) I mean, this is the first time throughout this WHOLE FIC (and the fic itself has already put him through hell a couple times) that we see him confessing any sort of weakness, whether real or perceived, and it’s the first time we see him actively accept help and it kills me because even if we don’t see all of it we know what Jim’s suffered must have been so terrible if all it takes is a couple words from Silver for him to just let his guard the fuck down like this. And then, then then then then THEN just when I thought the pain was OVER: ‘Jim felt his lower lip wobble dangerously, and hugged Silver’s arm. “Don’t leave me again,” he begged.’

Like WHY the FUCK would you do that to me

Ugh and now I’m nervous af because “that’s a piecrust promise” and and and and “a problem for another day” and and we’re only six chapters in and Jim and Silver are already beginning to mend fences which basically means there must be a lot of pain still to come. I’m afraid.

(oh and by the way “a promise meant trust, and trust meant hope, hope meant disappointment. Hope meant looking out the window every birthday since he was old enough to see over the sill, waiting for his father to come up the walk from the docks only to be crushed when he finally realized that no, another year was going to go by without the one thing he wanted most” seriously why did you do that how dare)

This is getting really long though so I now take my leave

- .ryder

NNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG
SILVER JUST FRICKIN
FOR FUCK'S SAKE SILVER
JUST JUST JUST GO
GO MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH JIM PLEASE
UGH SILVERRRRR NO LISTEN TO THE DREAD
SCROOP IS HURTING YOUR SURROGATE CHILD
LISTEN TO THE DREAD
AND GO FRICKIN CHECK ON HIM AND JUST LIKE HUG HIM VERY TIGHT AND WASH HIS WOUNDS AND HELP HIM FEEL BETTER AND GIVE HIM HOPE AND STOP FRICKIN HATING HIM FOR STABBING YOU IN THE EYE LIKE THERE'S A TIME AND A PLACE JUST DAMN THERE IS A FUCKING TIME AND PLACE
WHY MUST YOU HURT ME THIS WAY ;-;

Okay. I think I'm better now. I think I've exhausted a good ninety percent of my rage. Aaaanyway, that scene with Jim and Scroop legitimately made me cringe in sympathy pain for my poor bae. Jim is #presh.
On another note, the style of this story is just hugely pleasing to me. I know a lot of people who absolutely can't stand more than one POV in fanfic, but tbh, that's my favorite kind PARTICULARLY when one of them belongs to the villain. (In this case, I'm going to tentatively give that title to Scroop, even though Silver definitely qualifies as at least an antagonist at this point, if not the secondary villain.) But what I was getting at is that a lot of people feel that writing anything from the villain's POV just won't work because what if the villain's mentally unstable what if he's mentally ill what if he's just a legitimately bad person who nobody can connect with, why would you want to get inside that person's head? but tbh that's my favorite sort of story is when they have the POV of the antagonist along with our hero's. And Jim can sort of be called our hero...? soooort of? He's our protagonist, how's that
Anyway, so I love the way the story is being told because we get what's really happening, with a few savage distortions (Silver) and we get what's happening with moderate more unforgiving distortion (Jim) and then we get what's happening and what's not happening and what should be happening and what Scroop thinks is happening just adghjkl; it's wonderful. Essentially, your Scroop POV is the best I've seen so far. I love it. :3
I do wonder what Silver plans to do with a whole fleet of ships though...? Like dude you're a pirate you gotta fly under the radar a whole fleet is not under the radar? Oh well. Silver's kind of a flashy guy anyway, so it makes sense with his character it's just not as sensible as one would hope xD
and I can't remember if I mentioned this in my last review so you're gonna hear about it again so deal with it - it made me so sad in one of the earlier chapters when Jim thinks to himself something about how he can stand to have anyone leave him, anyone except Silver because this drags in all his previous affection for Silver and it drags his fear of abandonment and just basically it kills me because I can't handle Jim's pain. Jim's pain is my pain.
speaking of which I feel sooo bad for him btw :C like where the heck are the captain and the doctor? I mean, I'm sure it's gonna take them some time to like, let everyone know what happened and fill them in and give all the information and coordinates and whatnot to someone but where the hell are they right now? If they like, try to convince someone that they're telling the truth and nobody believes them so they just give up, I'm gonna be so pissed. I still haven't one hundred percent forgiven Amelia yet btw. like she was legitimately just being logical and trying to rescue those that she COULD but seriously leaving a child behind? Leaving behind a fifteen yr. old kid to deal with PIRATES? c'mon dude there were a million better ways you could've pulled that off like why not switch clothes with the kid and pretend to be him? It won't work for very long and the pirates would be furious when they unmasked her, but it would likely have bought the doctor and Jim enough time to escape (of course this does raise other issues, because the doctor and Jim would likely never have let the captain stay behind especially since she was injured earlier in the film I dunno if you're following that or what but I'm running on the assumption that she is currently a bit weakened) so I mean probably the captain realized that trying to save Jim and sacrifice herself was pretty pointless but anyone who hurts or neglects or in any way causes potential emotional/physical harm to a kid is not on my good side so I'm reserving judgment on that woman.
Anywayyy I was really glad to see you'd updated and I hope you have a wonderful day!
