So what /do/ you love in whumped Killian(s)? ~ Secret Krampus
Sorry for taking that long to answer! I didn't at first, because I wanted to think on it, and it turns out I've got so much to think on it I'm losing control XD So:
Deckhand Killian would be the ultimate woobie. He would beg from early on and crawl adorably into fetal position, terrified with his eyes glistening until someone comes to save him... and it's then that you'd see some self-loathing nature come out, as he would try to move away from their touch and sight, thinking that he became enough of a bother without them having to look at his bloody face.
Lieutenant Killian would stand firm. He would cry, though less easily than Deckhand Killian, and he would despair more easily than the others, especially if the bad guys brought in Liam and threatened/tortured him as well. I would love to see him, you know, struggle between the whole "must be good" thinking Killian used to have back then and his want to sass his tormentors and even make them pay for hurting him. And of course, him breaking down - I'd never say no to that.
Original Killian has a lot of things to choose from; his immediate response being to sass his whumpers and try to escape by any means possible, making his escape his top priority so that he won't go mad - makes one wonder what he went through as a child, not being able to escape from the ship while in the middle of the ocean. Anyway, I digress :P The way he'll desperately try to hide his pain, even when it's in excruciating levels, dude, that hanging-from-chains-in-Hades'-lair-and-still-not-screaming will never not give me great whump feels.
For me, Wish!Hook has pretty much everything Original Killian does; but I do want Alice to get in some trouble if only for us to see his reaction. As I said, I believe he'd be more panicked over her than Original Killian would be over Emma, so I'd love to see him like that. There's also the whole poisoned heart angst (and whump! If Alice goes for a hug again) where he was in so much pain he was literally screaming his lungs out, in front of his daughter (whom I'm sure he didn't want to upset) and then spent a few hours being so weak he couldn't even sit up straight. *heart eyes* It's just so beautiful!
There's also a small part of me that wants to see Dark Hook whumped... for one and only reason; he cannot die. So you can somehow take away his ability to self-heal and just make his life a living hell. Or allow him to heal from his incredibly many and painful wounds every day and then just go back the next day and do the same thing. Prometheus ain't got nothing on him :D
