i really don’t know how to make this reach the right audience but david and hook sometimes low-key give me jason and percy vibes. like just… just a little 🤏

cause percy is the hot bad boy son of poseidon (pirate) who often just says what comes to his mind, and jason is the perfect stereotypical son of zeus (prince charming) who always appears to have his shit together. and they dislike each other at first, but end up becoming very good friends, basically family, who trust each other a great deal, have the funniest dynamic, and fight many battles together

Here’s another ‘redraw’ of sorts, ft. my beloved Team Sweet Flips! (AKA TAZ sapphic ships my beloved)

Once again, I realized that I never posted this 2021 piece, but in looking at it again I wanted to redraw it (and I am always in the mood to draw more dragons) sooooo…..

(I like the idea of date-night Killian doing hair up and wearing a cute blouse, but also still accessorizing with some armor, lol)

tying my wizard and pirate stories together is proving difficult. like we all know the wizard101 and pirate101 timelines are impossible to figure out and directly contradict at times

(like the timelines apparently run close together but the young wizard has to be way ahead of the pirate story if azteca is implied to be destroyed already)

it’s just. hmmmmm how am i connecting these dots. what kind of picture am i even trying to make yknow

@multipleoccupancy . it's tea time 🍵

While Samantha didn't regret her choice of leaving the field to work as HR for the Program, she did miss her favorite agent and closest friend here. Killian was still on active duty, which meant that she saw him much more rarely than before. But whenever he was in the office, he always popped in for a chat and a cup of coffee.

Luckily, today was one of those days. When he walked into her office with an empty coffee cup and a smile, she beamed at him. "Killian!" she exclaimed, already picking up her own cup (which had a big sun with sunglasses on it) and standing up. "How was Seattle? Tell me everything!"

Some more Captain Swan (or would this qualify as Captain Duckling? idk)

This started out as a simple, mindless ouat doodle, but then my brain decided to come up with bits and pieces of a story for this while I was working on it, so... If you're interested, you can read the basic premise under the cut:

Basically, we have bar wench Emma teaming up with infamous pirate Captain Hook to bring down the Dark One: Killian has finally gotten a way to get rid of the damn crocodile and Emma has learned of that while the crew of the Jolly Roger stopped by the tavern she works at; for Emma, it's about getting her son back (Neal/Baelfire is still Henry's father in this AU, but left the realm to escape his father, so Rumple's trying to use Henry to track down Neal, i guess)... Anyway, Emma steals onto the Jolly Roger (to steal whatever magical item required to best the Dark One or to stowaway on board, your pick), gets discovered by our good captain ('feisty lass' that she is, she still manages to hold a dagger to his throat before he gets the best of her - there are on his ship, after all), she reveals why she's doing this in the first place - to reunite with her son - and they strike an accord to work together as they share a common goal... Shenanigans ensue, (and no, there is connection/bond between them that's growing closer over time, Emma is absolutely positive of that, thank you very much ;), plans go awry - they are chased by a monster of some sort, Killian decides to fight it off, to give Emma some more time to flee - she has to make it back to her son, after all - and tells her to go, to leave him behind... (but we know she doesn't listen... she never does ;)

Something like that, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (and hey, if any Captain Swan writers out there feel like writing that story for me, let me know - I'd love to read it!)

(Also, I'm kind of happy how dynamic the poses in this drawing have turned out! I reworked the lineart a couple of times, not sure if I was wasting my time but while I liked the og sketch, I think the end result is a definite improvement)

when discussing the once upon a time family wreath does it ever come up that hook is simultaneously henry’s stepfather and step grandfather??? and is technically both mum’s side of the family and dad’s side of the family.

because it’s been like a decade since i watched that show but i’ve only just realised it.

#1: Origin Story

 Five Years Ago…

 It's funny how quickly a day can change. All it takes to turn an ordinary Tuesday afternoon into the first day of an entirely different life, apparently, is your mom knocking on your bedroom door and saying "can I talk to you about something?"

 Little did Hope know as Emma came in and sat down on the bed next to her that this was one of those conversations.

 "What is it?" Hope asked, her mom looking at her with a bittersweet intensity she didn't understand. "Is something wrong?"

 "No." Emma smiled, shaking her head as she tucked a strand of hair behind her daughter's ear. "You're just growing up so fast."

 "Yeah." Hope shrugged.

 "And now," Emma shook her head, "you're gonna be a teenager soon, and things are gonna start changing. Your…."

 "Oh my gosh, mom." Hope interrupted. "I don't even know what 'the talk' is, but I know I'm not ready for it now."

 "Good," Emma said, "but this is a different talk. Over the course of these next few months, you're going to be developing some… powers."

 "Powers?" Hope's nose scrunched up.

 "Yeah." Her mom nodded.

 "You mean like flying and invisibility and laser eyes?" Hope asked. "Like the heroes on the news?"

 Emma laughed a little and nodded. "Exactly, like them."

 Hope had always looked up to superheroes, wanted to be like them— what kid hadn't? Now that she found out she was like them, it all sounded so great— a little too great to be true.

 "How do you know?" Hope asked.

 In lieu of an answer, Emma pointed at Hope's nightlight on the other side of the room. The nightlight turned on as if in response, casting projections of dozens of multicolored stars onto the ceiling.

 "Woah." Hope looked up, awestruck. "How did you do that?"

"Can you keep a secret?"

 She turned back to look at her mom and saw a beam of light shooting from her hand, something she'd seen before, not from her mom, but from a superhero she often saw on the news.

 "Saving Grace?" Hope asked. "Mom, you're a superhero?"

 Emma nodded.

 "Why didn't you tell me?" Hope asked.

 "Being a superhero isn't as glamorous as it sounds." Emma said. "There's a lot of responsibilities, some that you can share, and some you have to bear by yourself. Hope, no one can know about my powers, or yours. If you tell anyone…."

 "I'll put them and myself in danger, I know." Hope nodded. "I've watched enough movies to know that much."

 "Good." Emma said. "And you need to make sure to make the right choices with how you use your powers. It took me a while to realize mine were a gift instead of a burden."

 "I understand." Hope said. "What powers will I have?"

 "I can't be sure," Emma shook her head, "but supers often inherit traits from their parents."

 "Parents?" Hope asked. "Is dad a super too?"

 "Super, no." Emma said. "Hero, yes."

 Hope then remembered Saving Grace's partner in crime-fighting, Captain Guyliner, a powerless superhero with a high-tech gizmo for a hand and a clever one liner always at the ready.

 "My dad is Captain Guyliner?" Hope asked.

 "You catch on quick." Emma patted her on the back.

 Hope suddenly wished she could forget all the comments the older girls at school had made about their "heartthrob hero," Captain Guyliner, suddenly disgusted at the mere thought of their catty giggles.

🩷•⚡•💛

 The fort in the backyard had been Hope's space to think since the day her dad built it for her. From there, she'd launched all of her childhood adventures, from huge ideas like lemonade stands and sleepovers to little things like playing pirates or princesses or, ironically enough, superheroes.

 "Pink leader to Gold leader," Hope said into her walkie talkie, sitting on the fort's worn out carpet. This had always been her place to run to, and there was one friend she'd always run to it with.

 "This is Gold leader, clear."

 "We need to regroup." Hope responded. "This is a code… orange."

 There was a moment of silence before he sent back a reply.

 "Code orange? We don't have a code orange."

 Hope rolled her eyes. "That's how you know how important this is! It's something we never could've possibly planned for, at least not enough to make a code for it."

 "Wouldn't that make it code perriwinkle?"

 "Just get over here."

 "Over and out."

 Hope closed her eyes and hung her head against the wall, wondering if she'd open her eyes and find that it'd all been a dream. If it was a dream, then dream-Gideon would need to hear all about it, and if she remembered it and it didn't get too weird, she'd tell real-Gideon about it too.

 Either way, real-Gideon was gonna hear about it. She'd never kept a secret from her best friend in her life, and that wasn't gonna start now.

 It was only a few minutes before the door to the fort opened, and the boy with shaggy gold hair and a wrinkled brown flannel over his t-shirt joined Hope on the floor— their fort had more than enough chairs for the both of them, so it must be really important if they both understood that this was a conversation to be had on the floor.

 "What's so important you had to make up a whole new color?" Gideon asked.

 "I didn't make up a color." Hope said. "Orange has been a color since we were in kindergarten, but probably longer."

 "Okay," Gideon said, "but what's up?"

 Mom had told Hope not to tell anyone, but Hope had been told that lots of times before, and it never stopped her from sharing with Gideon.

 Besides, this was life changing, and Gid would notice if something this big in her life changed. It was better to tell him about it up front then have to explain it all later when he found out anyway.

 "Can you keep a secret?" Hope asked.

 "Of course." Gideon said. "And not just because you're the only friend I have to share it with."

 "And what about if we stop being friends someday?"

 "That's never gonna happen." Gideon said. "And even if it did, your secrets are still safe with me."

 "Okay." Hope said, "I… I'm developing super powers."

 "What?" Gideon asked.

 "Super powers." Hope said. "You know, like Saving Grace, or Red Wolf."

 "Really?" Gideon smiled. "Code orange isn't code for 'april fools!' right?"

 "I'm serious, Gid." Hope said.

 "Okay." He said. "What powers do you have?" 

 "I don't know yet." Hope said. "My mom said I'll start seeing them within the next few months."

 "That's awesome." He shook his head in disbelief. "My best friend, Hope Swan-Jones, a superhero! How'd your mom figure that out?"

 It was one thing to spill secrets about herself with Gideon, but it was another thing entirely to share secrets about her parents. Right now, her powers were still developing. They might not amount to much anyways, and she hadn't made any enemies yet. This was a secret she could share.

 But her parents were practically celebrities, as far as heroes go, and that comes with a lot of enemies. If any of them found out Gideon knew their identity, they could use that to hurt them, or to hurt him, and he didn't have powers to protect himself.

 "I don't know." Hope shrugged. "Moms just have a way of knowing these things, you know?"

 "I guess I'll take your word for that." Gideon looked away, scratching the back of his neck.

 "Oh, Gid," Hope said, remembering no sooner than the words were out of her mouth that her friend didn't know about that first-hand, "I'm sorry, I…."

 "Nah, I'm sorry." Gideon shook his head. "This isn't meant to be a pity party. This is exciting— you have superpowers, Hope. We could save the world, be heroes…."

 He turned to her and suddenly stopped, his words caught off track as he squinted at her.

 "Why don't you seem very excited?" 

 Hope shook her head. "All this 'great power; great responsibility' stuff. Being twelve years old is hard enough as is."

 "Yeah." Gideon said. "We're too young to drive, and too old for the McDonald's playplace."

 "And now I have this added responsibility, and…."

 "And you don't have to bear it alone." Gideon said. "I'm here to help you, and so are your parents."

 "You can't let my parents know you know." Hope said, quickly remembering her mom's warning. They said I can't tell anyone."

 "We've all heard that before." Gideon said. "And as always, your secret is safe with me." He held his hand out to her, pinky finger extended. "I promise."

 She wrapped her pinky around it as well, sealing a promise of friendship neither of them would ever dare break.
