HUX FOR MEME

AH SHIT HUX MY BELOVED!!! THANK YOU!!!

First impression

Incredibly, I literally don’t remember?? I do not remember maybe because I was off the shits when TFA came out and Hux was literally inconsequential to me the first time I saw TFA but I do remember coming out of TLJ two years later hollering about this wretched man to the point where my dad literally asked me “Why do you like that guy so much”, so I mean he must’ve had some sort of effect on me over the span of those two years.

Impression now

Obsessed with him. Will not shut up about him. He makes me want to pace around in my room like a caged tiger. Hux the stressed, overworked, unhinged, consumptive little man who has an unimaginable amount of rage and hatred just bubbling up inside him 24/7 is a character that can actually be so personal. There’s so much to think about with him. He’s the funniest character who’s ever lived in my head. Hux is the everyman and yet there’s something so wrong with him. I’m enamored with him. He truly is the evil gay engineering girlboss representation I’ve looked for my whole life. Hux is a coping mechanism.

Favorite moment

Genuinely I could point out any one moment in the sequel trilogy novelizations or extended universe novels from Hux’s POV and say “there’s something wrong with him and he’s unnatural”. There are truly so many insane Hux moments I can point to but at the moment it is the incredibly homoerotic scene Rae Carson put in the TROS novelization all by herself for no reason that genuinely is just Hux being obsessed over Ren’s hair. He is just so obsessed with this other man and so megalomaniacal and so so fucking gay and evil that one of his biggest fantasies is making Kylo Ren cut his hair. I don’t even know where to start with that. There’s just so much to unpack here.

Idea for a story

mmghhkk I know everyone and their mother has done a shuttle fic post-TFA but also a) Kylux Renaissance 2k21 and b) more cakes, so I have somewhere in my Google Docs maybe 300 words worth of Hux picking Ren up after he gets his ass handed to him by Rey and if I ever get around to it I’m going to write something morally reprehensible and ill-advised about black leather gloves and blood and wound care or lack thereof.

Unpopular opinion

I am, once again, going to be the “old man shakes fist at cloud” meme and say people have gotten TOOOOO comfortable with woobifying Hux, which I don’t have as much beef with in terms of AUs, but there’s only so much soft Hux content featuring a genocidal space fascist I can take. Oh! Also redemption arc Hux. I’m tired of it. I want to see a villain decay fall-from-grace hubris arc! Let’s get freakish!

Favorite relationship

KYLUX! It is just so important to me that they hate each other and yet are mutually obsessed with each other! They are so funny! If they wanted to they could be a villainous power couple to raze the galaxy but they simply cannot tear themselves away from snapping at each others’ throats to consider it. It kills me how they are perfectly poised to liberate each other from their own respective shackles and yet they just can’t get there because they just hate each other so deeply and THAT!! is where the fun lies. Kylux isn’t even gaybaited. It isn’t even gaybaited!!! It’s not real! And yet it is so unbearably real it makes me feel like an imploding star.

Favorite headcanon

Fuck dude this has gone on long enough that I’m abandoning shame and I’m just gonna give you a bulleted list

would have been diagnosed with hysteria were he in 1800s England, but like the kind where he’s completely normal for like a year then snaps and tries to put a penknife through someone’s eye and then he gets sent to a sanatorium away from any work or stressors for a few weeks and comes back normal again

he has his dad’s teeth in a box in his quarters and looks at them when he feels sad

Millicent isn’t actually a cat (or any variation of tooka or felinx, for that matter) but Hux the spacer kid didn’t actually know what cats looked like so he just saw a vaguely cat-like shape and was like “sure! looks like a cat to me” and just treated her like a cat. God knows what Millicent actually is, but she seems fine.

Hux dogtags agenda. I know dogtags in a space military organization is not entirely logical but I think it’d be hot.

send me a character and i’ll give you some thoughts!!!
