#dark hook

some dark hook text posts for any dark hook needs (pt 1)

Happy Bday Colin!

so it started with a bc day card plan made 24H before the Paris convention with @colinoeyebrows back in December. Card that we gifted to colin (a fake vinyl with one vinyl in it) and so now with more time and in time for his real bday, i was able to created 4 more vinyle with some iconic characters he played!

So enjoy and don't repost !

And here is the second post about Hook's various hair styles, featuring that ever important and sexy chest hair. If you missed the first post, you can find it here . Thanks again to @duathadun for the inspiration and my fellow travelers on our annual girls' trip @kmomof4 @snowbellewells @whimsicallyenchantedrose & @hollyethecurious , who exhibited limitless patience in helping me create the pic sets.

Enjoy!

1. Scaly Emma. Emma should be scaly and reptilian in the Enchanted Forest and they cover it with a glamour in Camelot. Same for Hook when that happens. This show CANNOT be too good to cover their leads in weird glitter and contact lenses; if Robert Carlyle can do it, so can they. Gimme gimme gimmegimmegimme

2. In Storybrooke, Emma should look and act The. Same. Only wardrobe change is she keeps the elaborate braided updo, maybe dresses a little more like Regina (power suits, stuff that's a little more fitted and elegant than her usual), but NOT BY MUCH. She should be smiling, chatting, acting like this is all very normal and fine, it's fine, I'm just the same guys, see? See?? I'm fine :) She is FORCEFUL in her insistence that everything is Totally Normal and this is all Fine. Hanging onto the belief that she can keep all her old connections by her fingernails. The leather jacket is ON, the beanies are ON, she is smiling so hard her face looks like it aches. The best Dark Swan scene was when she wore the cutesy pink dress and pony tail during her date with Hook; it should be exactly like that the whole time. Performative normalcy.

And then she very casually does super Dark One things, all while looking exactly like Emma should look. THAT'S how you do Dark Swan. She is CONVINCED that every action she takes is good and necessary and, you know what, if everyone else just UNDERSTOOD what she was trying to do, if they could just grasp the situation like she does, then they would go along with everything. She's right! She's right. She knows she's right. She acts with the same force of will and conviction that she had before, only all channeled towards Dark One plans.

Coming soon to AO3

Wretched and Divine

When the long lost princess sells her soul to save another, she hopes her family can save her.

They failed.

A retelling of Season 5.

Oh hey, do you wish season 5 delved more into Killian actually being a bad guy the whole time?

Do you wish it showed more hints of him being dark?

Have I got a fic for you....

Chapter 1 coming September 4, 2025

Read more for a sneak peak:

Emma:

1) Emma knew what she was getting into and made a WILLING sacrifice. She saw Regina in danger and decided to take on the darkness to protect another person.

2) Emma may not have know that she would literally be able to talk to previous Dark Ones but she knew she was going to be consumed by darkness and was prepared for a fight. She’s had years of being told she’s the Savior and the epitome of light magic. She’s got the right mindset to resist a fight she knows is coming.

3) Despite her best efforts, Emma was failing to resist the darkness. She was letting her fears consume her. Fear of hurting her family, fear of the darkness winning, fear of going too far if the darkness wasn’t stopped sooner rather than later, fear of losing the people she loves. This fear allowed the darkness to take over and she was willing to crush Merida’s heart.

4) Her family shows up as she’s about to do something horrific. Snow may have been about to use the dagger, but KILLIAN is the one to step up and tell Emma that she can fight the darkness. He reminds her of who she is and that he believes in her. Knowing that Killian believes in her and is willing to believe in her, Emma makes the right choice and doesn’t commit murder.

5) Emma is then immediately given the dagger, but knowing how close she just came to committing murder, Emma WILLING chooses to hand over the dagger to Regina as a safety precaution.

6) Emma ultimately does give into the darkness when the one person who believed in her above all others was dying. Because Killian was the only one who gave her support and encouragement in the exact right way for her to be able to overcome the darkness for so long. Everyone else would have bungled it long ago if Killian didn’t keep swooping in and getting Emma back on track.

Killian:

1) Knew exactly what he would be getting into and was terrified. He was dying but could make peace with that. He didn’t want to have the darkness put into him. He begged and pleaded for it to not happen. Instead of making a choice, he was violated against his will and forced to take on a mantle he explicitly stated he didn’t want.

2) Killian was trying to resist but he was in a bad mental space already when he became the dark one. Killian went into this already thinking he was weak, afraid he would be consumed. Between the betrayal and the fear, Killian wasn’t prepared to put up a fight against something so strong. He’s had years of being the villain, why would he think he could be a hero?

3) Killian was probably the oldest person to ever become a Dark One. Rumple and Emma both had their fair share of tragedies to deal with but they were also regular human age. Killian had many more years to gain even more tragedy, heartbreak, and other traumatic emotions. As far as anyone who had become a Dark One, Killian had far more initial baggage for the previous Dark Ones to manipulate than anyone who had come before.

4) Killian was trying to fight but all of his fears were consuming him from the beginning. He went into this terrified and already convinced he was going to lose. He was reeling from the person he trusts most ignoring his own dying wishes and committing what is to him, the ultimate betrayal. Even when Rumple became the Dark One he had more control over his emotions because he was trying to save his son and decided to take on the darkness willingly. Emma went in willingly. Killian is the only Dark One we see who had literally nothing but negative emotions as he was consumed and became dark against his will.

5) Killian was struggling and then Emma showed up. He could see that she had obviously fallen into the darkness but she was there, telling him everything was okay. That she believed in him and that he could fight the darkness and win. He was afraid and desperate and so he clung to her words despite how badly she had just hurt him. He thinks she believes in him, that he had the strength and that’s enough in that moment. Only moments later, he realizes that she has Excalibur and is ready to control him. This is the complete opposite of how Killian treated Emma. His faith in her never wavered. Even when he saw her crushing Merida’s heart, he held everyone else back and gave Emma a choice. Even giving Regina the dagger was Emma’s choice. But Emma shows up and doesn’t give Killian even the courtesy of letting him know she has Excalibur and is willing to use it. Instead she immediately lies and says she believes in him while holding the one thing that can control him behind her back. Now he doesn’t know if he resisted the darkness because he’s strong or because she commanded him to. Within an hour the woman he loves has horribly betrayed him. Twice. And if she doesn’t believe he can beat the darkness, why should he?So he runs off to lick his wounds and be manipulated by the darkness without her support. Then she uses the sword to control him, multiple times, when he NEVER used the dagger against her. She does eventually give him the sword but more out of guilt than trust. By then the damage to has been done and Killian has lost hope that he can be saved. Centuries of hurt are bubbling back to the surface and Emma has only hurt and betrayed him more. Not to mention he sees that Emma has given into the darkness, so what chance does he have of resisting? Unlike Emma who was given so much support and love, Killian is given heartbreak. No wonder he falls so quickly.

6) No one, but especially Emma, handled Killian the way he needed in order to fight the darkness. He gave Emma everything she needed to fight. Emma wanted so badly to save Killian’s life that she trampled over him and basically shoved him into the darkness herself.

7) Both Killian and Emma speak of Killian and who he is as the dark one as separate people. They are both Dark Ones and understand the darkness better than anyone else at that time. Since neither one sees Killian as himself, it’s obvious that he’s not.

In the end, the differences between Emma and Killian were the reason for each one’s success and failure. But when it truly counted Killian truly saw the pain he was causing, it was actually Regina who reminded him of who he wants to be. It’s actually poetic because Emma tried to rely on Regina to keep her from becoming dark but Regina was never the right person to help Emma keep from falling into the darkness because Emma has never known that darkness herself so Regina couldn’t relate. Emma needed Killian’s particular brand of support to keep her focused, while Killian needed Regina because she knows what it’s like to fall into darkness and decide to fight for your happy ending anyway so she sees that pull in Killian and can connect with that part of him that no one else understood in that moment. So Regina was able to help a dark one when she gave Killian that push to fight for what he ACTUALLY WANTS not just what the Dark Ones want. And what he truly wanted was to protect his loved ones. He just needed to believe he could.
