Captain Swan Aesthetic: Lieutenant Duckling

I feel kind of silly for just noticing this, but a quick Google search tells me that not too many other people have mentioned it, so y’all are blessed with my ridiculous meta now (including symbolism in costuming!). Be forewarned, spoilers are a natural part of this, so you should have already seen the season 1 finale at least.

Uncanny.

Make Up Time!

Captain and Lieutenant Jones.

These costumes caught me off-guard the first time I saw this episode, because they are so identifiably Napoleonic. It actually does go well with Hook’s narrow coat, but I think it emphasizes that these two men come from a very different place than the Enchanted Forest characters. (Strictly speaking, I think there’s an argument to be made that these costumes connect the characters to Arendelle, but I wouldn’t get dogmatic about it.)

These are not strict copies of British navy uniforms circa 1800, but in essence they are very similar. A blue frock coat is worn over white trousers and white waistcoat. Gold trims are used to differentiate rank. While the trim details of the costumes do not match the museum examples, the brothers’ uniforms also differ from each other. (I think Killian’s coat is a very odd length for a lieutenant. I’ve only seen that length in illustrations of seamen.)

The dialogue about the Pegasus is very telling:

Liam: That is a sail woven from the last remaining feathers of the great creature Pegasus. 

Killian: Legend has it that horse could fly.

The land that the Jones family is from is a world that has managed to make an animal go extinct. While mankind has driven animals to extinction throughout its history (Wooly Mammoths, e.g.) the real driving force behind mass extinction of plants and animals was humans developing technology and industrializing. 

You have a sextant, something that wasn’t invented until the 1700s:

In order to have a sextant, you need advanced math and an understanding of the world that is far from medieval. This technology isn’t consistent with the technology we see in the EF. 

So combine that with the Jolly Roger/Jewel of the Realm, you know that wherever Killian is from, they’ve got advanced technology and math. 

Killian also learned Ancient Greek, which is something that would imply that his home realm had some kind of reverence for the Classics, inconsistent with the Middle Ages, where pretty much no one but those connected with the Church would learn Latin, much less Greek - if you wanted to study the Greeks, you probably read Latin translations instead of the Greek). This implies a Enlightenment or after inspired society. 

it’s multi-functional :D
