Hello everyone! It's time to watch Muppet Treasure Island with us. We will start the movie at 8:05 eastern. Jessie and I will be signing our tweets so you know who's who. Join the conversation using the hashtag #PiracyNotBigotry

(the hashtag is because we were supposed to be watching Prisoner of Azkaban today, but fuck JKR, we're watching a pirate musical instead.) -L

Also just so you all know, I have this entire movie memorized. I was deeply into pirates as a child. -L

I think I forgot how goth pirates are? -J

Jim Hawkins was way ahead of his time with this Queer Mullet (tm) -L
#PiracyNotBigotry

This movie is so GAY. Not even 10 minutes in and we're already talking about the importance of chosen family. -L
#PiracyNotBigotry

Tim Curry cannot play hetro, and what a gift it is. -j #PiracyNotBigotry

The fact that there is a Disney jab in this movie that I'm watching on Disney plus is still very sweet -j #PiracyNotBigotry

Ron English Muffin is...helping me tweet -j #PiracyNotBigotry

Between this movie and Rocky Horror, Tim Curry single handedly defined my entire sexuality. -L
#PiracyNotBigotry

#PiracyNotBigotry

(yes I wrote this joke ahead of time.) -L

Ok the rollcall gag was pretty good, minus the eyerolling 'lady with a deep voice gag" -j #PiracyNotBigotry

Ok but the rat cruse gag is very good, bc it is how rats spread themselves everywhere people are. -j #PiracyNotBigotry

#PiracyNotBigotry

Ok yeah Tim Curry in his full pirate regalia is pretty fucking hot. -j #PiracyNotBigotry

Okay y'all, for years I've been considering getting a portrait of Tim Curry as pirate captain that says "Professional Pirate" under it. Should I make this happen? MY FATE IS IN YOUR HANDS. -L #PiracyNotBigotry

Not gonna lie, professional pirate sounds way cooler than anything I can get with my women studies degree -j #PiracyNotBigotry

it's never too late to run away to sea. -L

Oh wow this 'hostile natives' bit is very very bad -j #PiracyNotBigotry

It's truly terrible. -L

The one thing that is hilariously accurate is that both male and female feral hogs do have visible tusks. -j #PiracyNotBigotry

welcome to the Health and Science section! -L

Long John Silver could have been one of those tent revival preachers -j #PiracyNotBigotry

The best kid's movies are, in my opinion. -L

Tim Curry's face when he sees the gold is 💯, how is this not a common reaction gif? -j #PiracyNotBigotry

Right?!?!? It's what I'm always looking for when I gif this movie and it's nowhere. Who knows how to make gifs? Will you make this for us? -L #PiracyNotBigotry

I know I'm biased, but I think this was WAY more fun than watching POA could have ever been. -L #PiracyNotBigotry

omgggggg -j #PiracyNotBigotry

@threadreaderapp unroll please

Lol probs. I also find this more fun to watch than Pirates of the Caribbean, which I do not understand the hype about. (minus whats-her-face in a pirate getup, that is extremely on-brand for me) -j #PiracyNotBigotry

with you all the way, friend. Also will give bonus points for elf boy in pirate getup. -L
