SOOOOO, potentially a new hc backstory to Hook based on chats with a friend and more research cause HISTORY~

Posting under the cut first just to make sure it makes sense and to get peoples thoughts (those who know the OG story I went for)

83

Raised in a noble, rich household, James Francis Bartholomew Jackson was set to inherit his father’s business as a London Merchant, who owned three merchant vessels and a grand wealth and home. In reality, James senior, his father, was not really his father. James was bore from his mother’s love to a lowly footman in their home and despite keeping it secret, the truth was known after James’s mother passed away at age 4 and to keep the scandal secret, his father sent James’s real father to his death.

No one else knew. Any confession his wife had written was thrown in the fire, his anger towards his wife and her lover extended to young James and yet without this boy, his wealth would dwindle to nothing and his legacy for nought and by now he could not rid himself of the bastard child. Especially he had built himself up to be the boy’s father. 

James would never remember his mother well and he would never know the truth about his real father until much later in his life. He never saw his real father. 

In 1664 a young 12 year old James went to sea, working as an apprentice to the quartermaster on board an East India Trading Company vessel. He sailed with the promise and a contract to the ship, to return home in no more than a years time to take on more of his duties as a heir to his father’s fortune and business (as well as to confirm his betrothal to a gentry girl.) 

However, he never returned to England. 

After sailing on the merchant ship for a year, James was called to enlist into the navy as part of the second anglo-dutch war, he took part in a battle against Dutch ships and saw many deaths and sinking from the mere age of 14 as an apprentice officer. 

As the Plague of London erupted, followed by the Great Fire of London, he was taken out of the navy along with many others as a means for the government to save money and soon rejoined another merchant ship. 

Hook sailed on a total of 5 different merchant ships for a grand total of 13 years after leaving the navy. The truth of his birthright came about through a letter. The letter stated that Hook was not set to inherit his father’s title, business or money, he was bankrupt and cast aside after the death of his father who confessed before death that James was not his son and he kept it secret to avoid the scandal.

The blow of the news was only overshadowed by the Officers and Captain on the ship he served who took it as a ‘kindness’ to not throw him overboard and stripped him of all rank, titles and honours. Treating him with evil distain for the rest of his voyage.

Until the year 1703, where at the age of 27, James took part in the mutiny of the ship and became a pirate Captain.

For 10 years, James was known as both ‘Mutiny Red’ and ‘Scarlet Jim’ (Jas to his friends) and sailed across the world plundering, stealing and ransacking other ships, getting away with it at times for being hired as Privateers, escaping or disguising themselves. 

Then, one day, himself and his crew were struck by an horrendous and strange storm. When Hook awoke, he was amongst the wreckage of his ship in a new world, where the sky, the sea and the people were so different and magical…. The Never Realm.

Rescued and taken in by a man named Mr Smee, James and the members of his surviving crew rebuilt the ship and discovered the island ‘Neverland’ where he came across an orphan boy who didn’t seem to age…

The rest is history.

/ I like the fact that Disney and other developer seem to forget that a lot of these villains are OLD MEN. Yes, a lot of the women are fashionable and rich and fancy, so I can imagine characters like Cruella wearing all the extravagant things and stuff, maybe even Maleificent.

But characters like Hook? He's a down in the dumps old man who is NOT down with the kids. In old art Disney released of him in modern clothes, he's wearing the 'dad' getup. Sandals with socks, Hawaiian shirts, old victorian-esq swimsuits, Hook isn't really 'cool' as we would say, he can TRY to be but I don't think it would suit him.

They are least get Jafar right in the fact he's a rich bitch who wears only tailored clothes and designer stuff tho xD

[elxgantcaptain]

/ I still love his modern outfits

[elxgantcaptain]

/ For real though, I bet the villains all love playing pranks and stuff on Hook, he's pretty easily spooked and pretty dramatic in the way he reacts to things which I think most the villains would find amusing.

My head =

[elxgantcaptain]

How I thought Hook would be like as a dad VS how he actually is

[elxgantcaptain]

/ Okay, lil notice.

Since grandvizier is no longer on tumblr atm, I'm ridding Hook of his development from that storyline. If your muse has interacted with him in that storyline, thats fine! But now just pretend it doesn't exist xD Only exists outside tumblr right now

(Though I may feed you guys stuff every so often when stuff happens, just to keep you fed x3)
