Killian Jones: Relationship Guru
It might have been just a joke (and new fodder for the usual Hater idiots) but Killian is honestly one of the MOST qualified to dish out relationship advice, and its not because he’s some incredible Lothario, but rather because he’s actually really, really, good at relationships.
Onscreen we’ve only actually seen him romantically interact with two women, and both of those women he ended up in very serious long term, true love, situations with.
Any other ladies we’ve seen him with (Tink, the bar wenches, the prostitute) were dismissed in favor of, or because of, these two women.
With Milah she was willing to board a pirate ship and sail the realms after only two days in his company. Part of that was because of her unhappiness with Rumple and their situation but when they meet Rumple again her words are:
“He told stories of the places he’d been and I fell in love with him.”
Which tells me that it was a combination of both her unhappiness and Killian as a person that lead to such a drastic decision.
Killian was with Milah for something like 8 years which is just as long or longer than any of the other relationships we’ve see on the show (curse years don’t count).
They lived in very close quarters on a ship full of scurvy pirates which can’t be easy for ANY relationship, and yet when we see them in the future they are equal partners and leaders, completely committed and willing to die for one another.
He embarked on a multiple hundreds years quest to avenge her death. Things were serious.
With Emma we’ve actually SEEN him in action and got a full picture of what Killian is like when he’s with someone: devoted, loyal, understanding, and ridiculously enamored and romantic.
He traded an entire ship, his home, to bring her back to her family with the understanding she might not feel the same way, and that she might even love another.
He swept her off her feet, taught her to dance, and gave her a true lighthearted fairytale moment.
He made her apart of the stories she felt so separated from.
He took her on one of the best examples of a true “date” on this show so far. He went all out: changing his clothes, reattaching a limb, getting her a rose, arranging dinner, giving her his jacket, and a fairly chaste good night kiss and nothing more.
He brings her lunch at the station on the mere off handed mention that she’s been craving a grilled cheese all day.
He is the type of man to kiss on the cheek and have cute little displays of affection in front of others, even people he dislikes who JUST ridiculed him, just because he loves her more than his reputation.
He obviously adores hand holding. (Which just makes me WEEP.)
He likes to go on romantic walks throughout the town.
He suggests hanging out and watching the sea and the horizon together in the harbor to soothe her.
He used to take her for sailing lunch/dinner dates on the regular apparently.
He makes a concentrated and earnest effort to get to know HER, even her past relationships, and he remembers and recalls these details
and the things she tells him.
He arranges horseback rides and trips to flowery meadows to give her a reprieve from the demons in her head.
He DIED for her within hours of meeting on the mere possibility they were close in another life.
And that’s not even touching the emotional support and understanding he gives her.
He always encourages her and supports her. These aren’t false words to boost her confidence, he honestly believes she is the most amazing and talented person in his acquaintance.
He pushes her when she needs to be pushed and pulls back when she needs space.
He makes her his TOP priority, to the exclusion of all things, but in a way where he doesn’t lose himself or who he is as a person in doing so, and he refuses to be part of something toxic just for the sake of
being with her because it’s not the best thing for HER.
Like seriously, if Henry should take advice from ANYONE about romantic relationships it is Killian freaking Jones.
