#the swan jones family

[happy-emmdings]

Been enjoying your polls lately! do you have any headcannons on how you think cs live their married + family life? Like their habits, their kids, their jobs, their last names etc etc (also so happy you have asks now!!!)

Hi!!

Yes, I sure do have some! Maybe more then you asked for😅

But I have to say that I didn't watch season 7 and though I have a general idea what happens in it, I could not possibly be more confused about its timeline so... let's just say „I've elected to ignore it".

For their honeymoon, Emma and Killian go on a long cruise along the East Coast (there are many advantages to marrying the real Captain Hook), maybe to Florida and back and they make several stops along the way in different places. Killian explores more of the strange land without magic (and with way too much technology) with Emma as his guide and it’s very fun and wholesome

Of course, they inevitably interact with regular people and there is so much comedic potential in that. Obviously because Killian is 200-year-old pirate from another realm but it's time for Emma to realize that she's not the normal person constantly bewildered by the existence of fairytale characters anymore... she's one of the magic freaks now, she has to stop herself midsentence before she accidentally says something that would sound insane

Just imagine Emma and Killian finding themselves at a bar, getting to know some friendly strangers and they start playing Never have I ever... infinite possibilities how that could get increasingly weird

They have an adventure in the Bermuda triangle too, because nothing can be normal for Storybrooke's heroes

Hope Swan Jones is born 2 years after the end of season 6 and she adores her big brother Henry, even though their dynamic is still more like young uncle/niece because of the big age gap but they get full sibling energy when it comes to an argument

Swan is her middle name just to confuse everyone

I've always imagined Hope with dark hair and green eyes even though blond Hope seems to be much more popular. Now I'm contemplating the possibility of dirty blond

The jury is still out on whether or not they would have more than one kid but I suck at coming up with names so🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Emma continues to be Storybrooke's sheriff which at this point just means being the Savior. Let's be real Storybrooke hasn't enforced a single law since the first curse was broken and it’s not like deputy Captain Hook has ever had a lot of regard for law, but... They try to maintain order more or less. Things do get more peaceful, but it's still Storybrooke so of course stuff happens from time to time but nothing traumatizing or apocalyptic. Nevertheless, Emma and Killian solve occasional mysteries together and keep Storybrooke citizens safe

Killian is the first member of Belle's Book Club, because he supports his friend Belle when she decides to start organizing fun activities at the library. You just know he read the original version of The Odyssey. Other book club members include for example August, sister Astrid and Leroy (who is only there for Astrid and their will-they-won't-they non-discreet romance annoys Killian to no end because he's not a bloody matchmaker why are they asking him what the other thinks of them)

The Swan-Jones family goes sailing on their family vacations every summer!

Make it a joint family vacation with Belle and little Gideon. Belle finally gets to travel and Hope and Gideon become unlikely childhood friends.

There's also at least one Swan-Jones and Charmings camping trip that includes Snow teaching Hope and Leo how to make a fire and build shelter in the wilderness, sword duels with sticks, stargazing, campfire songs, so many campfire songs! (they all have such beautiful singing voices and they should use them) This is also time for Emma to bond with her parents and experience something she didn't have as a kid

"Eat some bloody vitamins" dad Killian vs. "Popcorn mixed with milk duds" mom Emma

Killian Jones cannot look at a child he has some connection to without being like "Welp looks like I have to teach this little pirate everything there is to know about sailing and navigating by the stars and secret maps, I simply must, it's the code..." So Hope can tie every kind of knot there is and becomes an expert in old timey boat stuff by middle school

She loves it because 1) it's a special thing she and her dad can bond over 2) it makes her feel cool and smart 3) she's a total nerd 4) she inherited the innate love for the ocean that runs in her dad's side of the family

Hope has magic but she's not super good at it, Emma helps her practice and sometimes pulling an innocent prank on dad or grandpa is part of the practice

Killian makes so many dad jokes. And so does Emma

Killian sings Hope to sleep when she's little and Emma reads bedtime stories to her

Sometimes she reads something like Winnie the Pooh and Hope asks if Winnie the Pooh is also real and Emma shuts the book and stares at the wall and has an existential crisis for a second because who knows at this point he might as well be??

So, these are some of them that I salvaged from the absolute chaos that is my notes app... Thanks for the ask❣️

ONCE UPON A TIME 5.15, The Brothers Jones

[jennifersminds]

A one time thing,

[oautincorrectquotes]

Emma: We've got to find a way to cut down our expenses. What can we live without?

Henry: Hook, probably.

[sasukesofficiallawyer]

I feel so bad for Henry. His mother is his other mother’s step grandma which makes his biological mother his step niece and makes him his own uncle. It also makes his grandma his step sister and his adopted mother his step great grand mother. His uncle is a newborn and his other uncle is his step father. His step father’s ex wife is his biological grandmother. His step niece and step great grandmother have sexual tension. His biological grandfather had sex with his step great great grandmother and made out with his step great grandmother aka his mother. He has a step sister from a previously evil clone of his stepfather. This poor boy.

[im-up-to-shenanigans]

i will never not get emotional watching the season 2 finale of ouat. like just watching killian's face fall when he finds out neal is dead. the realization the emma may have lit the spark of his redemption, but his love for baelfire is what fanned that spark into a flame

the direct parallel of the scene in the past of killian telling bae that he could change for him and bae saying he would never change bc all he cares about is himself

AND THEN WHEN HE TURNS AROUND AND COMES BACK EMMA SAYS SHE DIDN'T THINK HE CARED ABOUT ANYONE BUT HIMSELF AND KILLIAN JUST SAYS HE NEEDED REMINDING THAT HE COULD ASJDHHDJSK

and that reminder came after emma's speech in the diner. after she told him that he could be a part of something. he still didn't give her back the bean. he gave her an empty pouch and dipped. he had nothing to lose by leaving storybrooke to be destroyed, but he came back.

without anyone there with him to say just the right things and encourage him to make the right choice. emma already did that, but that wasn't enough. he still betrayed her

but he sat there with his own thoughts. with the knowledge bae was dead. and looking at the carving he made to teach this boy he once loved how to sail. AND HE TURNED BACK

BECAUSE HE BLAMES HIMSELF FOR TEARING APART BAE'S FAMILY. AND ONE OF HIS BIGGEST REGRETS WAS SELLING BAE OUT TO PAN. BUT HE'LL BE DAMNED IF HE DOESN'T TRY TO MAKE IT RIGHT. SO HE TURNS BACK TO SAVE BAE'S SON. BECAUSE HE MAY HAVE TAKEN BAE'S MOTHER AWAY FROM HIM ONCE AND PLANNED TO MURDER HIS FATHER, BUT HE WON'T LET HIS SON SUFFER THE SAME THING. HE WANTS TO BREAK THE CYCLE AND TRY TO MAKE IT UP TO THE BOY HE ONCE LOVED AS HIS OWN

and then he finds out that storybrooke's safe, but henry's been kidnapped, and he doesn't even hesitate to volunteer to help get him back, even when he finds out he has to work with the man who murdered the woman he loves and who cut off his hand. HIS LOVE FOR BAELFIRE OUTWEIGHED HIS HATRED FOR RUMPLE, JUST LIKE HE SAID IT WOULD WAY BACK WHEN HE TOLD BAE HE COULD CHANGE FOR HIM. HE MADE GOOD ON THAT PROMISE

and he finds out that henry's been taken to neverland, a place killian DESPISES, and he still doesn't back out. bc he may have sold bae into pan's hands, but he will save his son from suffering the same fate.

and everyone believes he's on neverland solely for emma, and he lets them believe that. bc he knows why he's there and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. he may be falling in love with emma. she may inspire him to become better. but she was never the reason

and i can't stop crying

[hitchell-mope]

Emma: Oh, by the way, if you ever speak disrespectfully again about my husband, I’ll kill you. Sorry, that sounded like a joke. I will ACTUALLY kill you.

[demonicbaby666]

Emma: You fight your enemies. I fall in love with them. We are not the same. Killian: [smirks] Regina: She’s not talking about you. Killian: Actually- Emma: She's right.

[a-happy-beginning]

Believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a powerful thing, but living with that kind of belief that’s the most powerful thing of all. That’s hope.

—Snow White, Once Upon a Time, “The Final Battle”

[ourfandomcrazyuniverse]

Genuinely, I don’t think tv can get better than the two Once Upon A Time ‘Back To The Future’ au episodes.

Enemies to lovers, where character B (striving to go through a character arc, and be a good guy for A atm) gets jealous because he’s watching his past self get to kiss his love. So he fully breaks time travel rules, and just knocks him tf out?

Amazing. Flawless. The drama. The passion. The romance. The comedy. A+++ exceptional

[whoruntheworld-lesbians]

I feel like the ouat universe is so messed up age gaps barely even matter in relationships except dear god don't you dare ship adult henry with any of the townspeople

[coaadra]

I REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT EPISODE 4 OF SEASON 4 🙌🏻 (maybe there will be two parts)

I'll start talking from the very beginning.. Emma finally dared and oh god yes! the date will take place.. At that moment I was ready to cry with happiness, because they look like the most beautiful and suitable people for dating each other together..

LET'S TALK ABOUT IT? If you are not touched by this scene, I have nothing to talk to you about.. They are literally like “Family, family.” These are all photographs, cameras, DAVID'S VIEW IN THE END!🙌🏻 How nice it was to see Emma’s look at her parents, and their look at her, because in this scene you literally feel such family subtle and sincere love that my soul trembles from every word said phrases..

*bangs my head against the wall and screams*

FIRST, they look like schoolchildren... SECONDLY, WITH WHAT FACE HOOK WENT AWAY WITH EMMA!!! His face is literally subtitled and it screams to David "I CAN, BITE IT, SHE WILL BE MINE, YES, YOUR DAUGHTER WILL BE MINE"

And again, I can’t help but say about his and HER enchanted looks, about this fucking hand, about the whole situation, which I like to the point of madness and hysteria...

I knew that my screams and favorite shots wouldn’t fit into one post...

The second part

[dinneratgrannys]

ONCE UPON A TIME 6.03, The Other Shoe

[camelotroses]

“You’re amazing Emma”

as they crash into each others embrace.

Killian gets a second hug as Emma pulls Henry in for a precious Swan-Jones Family moment. She hugs three people in this entire scene and she just happens to share true love with each of them: David, Killian & Henry. It truly is a precious reunion.

[oautincorrectquotes]

Hook: I think I'm falling for Emma.

Regina: Then get up.
