DON'T YOU KNOW . . . ? a private portrayal of ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ from the star wars sequel trilogy. nove & headcanon based. reforged with inspiration from the duel of the fates script, featuring hux as the high chancellor of the new empire. strictly 21+, beware of dark themes. THE DEVIL'S VOICE IS THE SWEETEST TO HEAR.
โง carrd โง prompts โง lore
my mind is filled with cataclysm and apocalypse. a literary exploration of rebirth through destruction, bequeathed destiny , the snake in the garden, losing one's face behind the mask, parasitic propaganda & embodying the demons you devour.
โง FOLLOWING
Please do not follow if you are under 21. Minors will be blocked.ย This blog is mutuals only. f.y.i. I'm on mobile frequently and might take up to a week to follow back. I tend to keep a very small dash & focus on established dynamics.
I hard block for: homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism, discriminatory behavior or excessive callouts. I softblock for: no rules or age/ age range posted on your blog.
& break mutuals for: no interaction from your end after a few months ( after my attempts to interact ) I do not mind if non rp blogs follow, as long as you do not reblog my posts.
โง BLOG WARNINGS
Mun =/= muse. The muse is not a reflection of my moral or political views and ideals. The star wars novels are very dark. Thus,ย this blog contains dark themes and nsfw content.ย Please be safe and block or unfollow if there is anything that makes you uncomfortable. General triggers will be tagged โtw: the triggerโ.
Dark themes include:ย violence, manipulation, torture, war crimes, mass destruction, carnage, murder, death, gaslighting. Due to hux's canonical past:ย canon displayed/implied physical abuse & child abuse may appear on this blog in recollection. Canonically implied sexual abuse may be implied or mentioned in recollection as well. No s/a will ever be actively written or condoned on this blog.
My triggers include: real life images of organ trauma and excessive bodily gore.
โง CHARACTERIZATION
My portrayal of Hux is entirely novel and comic based for the first two installments.ย Along with the influences of my own headcanons and development.
I do not follow or incorporate the movie portrayal at all. Please do not assume Huxโs characterization based on the movies. My third arc is canon divergent, and loosely inspired by the abandoned Duel of the Fates script.ย Featuring Hux as high chancellorย of a newly established regime, headed by Kylo Ren. I do not follow the Rise of Skywalker, whatsoever.
โง INTERACTING
If we are mutualsย you are are free to send in rp memes, IC asks and like starter calls. Non-mutuals may send in headcanon asks only.
While I do not mind occasional spontaneous threads,ย I am more inclined to plotsย and will often prioritize plotted interactions due to my busy irl life. Please do not godmod or metagame.ย Hux's participation in Starkiller is a top secret project that a majority of characters ( unless high ranking First oOder officials or perhaps high ranking Resistance spies ) would not be aware of.
โง MUSE WARNINGS
Hux is highly manipulative and a very unreliable narrator.ย He will gaslight, manipulate and lie to your muse. For the sake of a cohesive narrative, I may not always give clues to indicate when he is doing this. But I will always plot ahead and ask consent before writhing this behavior within a "romantic", familial or platonic ship. Interaction DNIs:ย considering hux is canonically a c/a victim, I do not feel comfortable with constant jokes about him being abused in TLJ. I don't mind IC interactions including violence toward him. He is a villain and a terrible person, after all. Just please refrain from incessant abuse jokes.
โง SHIPPING
I enjoy dynamics of all types, but due to the nature of the character, I may be selective when it comes to shipping.ย Hux is notoriously difficult to ship due to the fact that he is an incredibly toxic and manipulative character. I am not opposed to toxic ships where there is no power imbalance between both characters. But as far as romantic ships go, I am generally more inclined to ship him with other villainous characters. I am also character exclusive when it comes to romantic ships. As in, I will only ship with one version of that character. Ships that I absolutely will not partake in are Hux/Pryde and Hux/Admiral Brooks.

Armitage never swam in the ocean on his homeplanet. He was far too young and the current was treacherous. Many a fierce swimmer was swallowed by the tide or devoured by the creatures that lurk beneath. Armitage was forced to swim in equally frightening waters, a few years later at age seven. When he was traveling the Unknown Regions with Admiral Sloane & Minister al Trel. He is a sound swimmer, to this day. Albeit not as practiced as in his youth.
Armitage can swim. It is something you are taught in infancy on his homeplanet, Arkanis. This skill saved his life several times during his years traversing the Unknown Regions with Admiral Sloane. He is not as strong a swimmer as he waa now, due to lack of practice during his many years aboard star destroyers. But he swims frequently now that he lives planet side on Coruscant. The Imperial Palace has more than one pool.
Ivory organza rises with the wind, dancing between the folds of an afternoon breeze. โcasting a spectral aura around the Chancellor's still form. Gloved hands remain folded neatly as he observes the enemy within the walls of his residential domain. ( One of many recreational hubs sector wide, aimed to integrate him within beating heart of each system's most impactful planets. ) Perhaps it was irony or deliberate pursuit that had arranged this unceremonious rendezvous. But if Hux was unsettled by the proximity of his uninvited guest, his posture did nothing to covey it.
โโฆ WHY ARE YOU UPSET? I WAS JUST PRAYING FOR YOUR DOWNFALL. I'M SURE THE FEELING IS MUTUAL. misha skywalker calls from below.
The Chancellor inclines his head, his blase expression of unfiltered boredom unfaltering, as their gazes cross. โ And yet, I am here. โ he drawls, shoulders rounding in a shrug. โ What a surprise. โ Hux leans over the edge of the gilded balcony, a sliver of a smirk playing at the ends of his lips, despite the potential threat. If he were stationed in his Coruscant Residence, security would have flagged @operattic before they stepped foot onto the grounds. But the security protocol at his vacation home is slightly less stringent. Regardless, he has little cause to worry... Knights of Ren haunt the surrounding area, casting ghoulish shadows against the fragrant hues of sculpted flora. The walls of this apparent sanctuary are conceal a host of lethal secrets known to a select few. โ You presume to know a lot about me. โ He hums, swirling his wine. โ It's unfortunate, really. โ The lilt of his voice slinks into cynicism. โ We are family after all. โ
I'm out there thinking about the files that were lost due to a 'system error' or the equipment that was destroyed during an attack or an emergency evacuation, which definitely had nothing to do with Hux destroying evidence.
Hux often smells like fresh linen, leather, citron, and the cold metal of machinery. Especially during his time as a senior officer upon the Finalizer or his previous ship. It is subtle but sharp. Cold as the slice of his jade eyes.
The Chancellor tends to have a lighter scent; watery citrus and pomelo, bellflower, a hint of sage over the softest touch of smoky cedar. Vague, ethereal. Often changing and deviating from the pattern. Yet, somehow the same.
Watch the progression of Hux's Chancellor wardrobe fade from heavy ivory robes embroidered in gold to some sort of phantasmic haze of iridescent organza draped over an almost luminescent blue-cast shade of white. He is but a ghastly figure atop the palace balcony, peering down at his dominion.
Hello all. โก My plane landed yesterday. I am putting up a little hiatus notice until July 25th. I'll probably be entirely MIA for at least the coming week. See you all when I am back!
Your Sunday fact is that Armitage Hux committed triple homicide and was never caught. Except, Snoke was actually entirely aware & did not care in the slightest.

SEVEN DEVILS โโฆ And now all your love will be exorcized. And we will find new saints to be canonized. And it's anย evensong. It's aย litany. It's a battle cry. It's a symphony. ( ... ) Seven devils all around me. Seven devils in my house. See, I was dead when I woke up this morning & I'll be dead before the day is done. โโ florence and the machine
VALLEY OF THE DOLLS โโฆ Born with a void. Hard to destroy with love or hope. Built with a heart, broken from the start. ( ... ) Got a hole inside of me. Living with identities that do not belong to me. ( ... ) Pick a personality for free. ( ... ) In my life, I got this far. Now Iโm ready for the last hoorah. Dying like a shooting star. โโ marina
WAKE UP โโฆ Something filled up my heart with nothing. Someone told me not to cry. Now that I'm older, my heart's colder. ( ... ) We're just a million little gods causin' rain storms. Turnin' every good thing to rust. ( ... ) With my lightning bolts a-glowin, I can see where I am going to be when the reaper reaches and touches my hand. โโ arcade fire
SPIRALLING โโฆ I'm waiting for my moment to come. I'm waiting for the movie to begin. I'm waiting for a revelation. I'm waiting for someone to count me in. 'Cause now I only see my dreams in everything I touch, feel their cold hands on everything that I love. Cold like some magnificent skyline. โโ keane
DREAMS โโฆ Now, here I go again. I see the crystal visions. I keep my visions to myself. It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams and, have you any dreams you'd like to sell? ( ... ) Thunder only happens when it's rainin'. Players only love you when they're playing. โโ fleetwood mac
SUPER MASSIVE BLACK HOLE โโฆ I thought I was a fool for no one. But oh, baby, I'm a fool for you. You're the queen of the superficial. But how long before you tell the truth? ( ... ) And the superstars sucked into the supermassive glaciers melting in the dead of night. You're a supermassive black hole. โโ muse

The ambient hum of machinery abates frayed nerves. A mechanical lullaby that lures the General's racing mind further into the abyssal depths of an analytical trance. The results of the trials are inconclusive. Producing too wide a variety of variables to warrant further pursuit. Yet, he is hesitant to abandon this experiment. A positive outcome would be revolutionary-
An automated screech shatters his thought process, drawing jade eyes upward in a narrowed glare. The sound repeats again and again. A wordless mantra of denied admittance into the scientific sanctuary beyond the armored doors. Hux clicks his tongue, agitation flickering across his unveiled visage as he abandons the project to address the source of the disturbance.
โโฆ OPEN THE DOOR. saira cain's voice rings through the gateway comm.
The doors slide open the moment the general's code cylinder connects with the panel. He nods stoically toward his fellow engineer, the mask of casual apathy slipping to the forefront. โ Enhanced security protocols have been administered following the attempted breach. Your code cylinder will need to undergo the necessary updates for renewed access. โ He elaborates matter-of-factly, amid a steady gait, as he ushers @etoilebleu toward the vacant lab. โ Are you ready for phase two? โ
