this is just a reminder that i do not prescribe to the fanon that kylo ren is the leader of the knights of ren. he gave himself that title. it is canonically recognised that the knights do not have a leader. they follow the direction of the ren, the pull of the shadow within themselves and the chaos of their own minds. the original ren was their spokesperson. he was charming and sociable and had the uncanny ability to trick others into trusting him. thus, it made sense for him to be the face of the group, the person that other’s felt comfortable approaching. but he was not their leader. they were directed by their own chaotic nature; things were decided upon as a group. they are equals in every way. thus, to my knights, if you imply they are being lead by kylo ren, they will not react kindly. they are from unprivileged backgrounds; they had to fight for their place amongst others just like them. they are not owned, they are not lead by one, their voices are not silenced. you are welcome to suggest as much, but my knights will not respond well to the implication that their choice has been taken, that they are doing what they do out of some obligation to a leader rather than their own free will.
personally, i believe the act of them kneeling after the death of the original ren was something of a ritual conducted upon each new initiation. a way to respect the gravity of the price paid and to honour the life given. the good death. the sacrifice to allow another a place within the galaxy. they were not kneeling to a new leader, but a new member, a new brother.
