the thing about kylo, hux, and phasma as a character trio is that not one of them is "the sane normal level-headed well-adjusted one who has to exasperatedly balance out the other two and their chaos."

but the other thing about them is that each of them thinks "i'm the normal and sane one who has to manage these other 2, and also i am clearly the one who's really in charge here." and, crucially, all 3 are wrong.

[armitagehuxsleepschedule]

i did start off as a "hux survived" truther, but thinking on it now...while i still enjoy AUs where he survives, i think in Canon Terms it makes sense for him to die. thematic sense. maybe he felt like he deserved to die for betraying the order. maybe he no longer saw any hope for the future. maybe he realized the end of the war was near and couldn't bring himself to face a galaxy at peace. maybe he felt like now that he's lost his power and influence and his nation there's nothing left for him to do except die. or some combination of the above. i definitely agree that hux is the type who'd always wear a blasterproof vest or something, so he would have had to decide not to wear it.

as for why, if the above paragraph was the case, he asked finn to blast him in the arm? or why he even bothered with the "it was a coordinated incursion, allegiant general" shtick if dying was part of his plan?

i think the options are either (a), it was less of a conscious plan to die and more of a passively-suicidal "not looking both ways before crossing the street anymore because idc if a car hits me" type situation. he wasn't trying to die but he sure wasn't trying not to. or (b), cerebrally he knew he was going to die, but despite that, when actually face-to-face with his own imminent demise, part of him couldn't accept it and kept clinging to life even though the rational part of him already knew it was over. deciding to die for the cause is one thing, actually going through with it is a whole other thing.

alright i'm home from work now and still thinking about hux. i feel like i already did a post about how hux's whole life story makes for a fun demonstration of why fascism doesn't work and can never be used for good. however i also think he's a great example of another one of the core failings of fascism, which is prioritizing ideology and vague concepts over actual people.

hux has no friends in the first order. he has some people he works closer with than others and he has some people he seems to get along with on a professional level, but real actual intimacy? none. he is fanatically devoted to "the first order," but the people who are in the first order? fodder for the cause. he wants to "make the galaxy a better place," but the people who live in the galaxy? also fodder. can be slaughtered in the hundreds of billions for the sake of some lofty "greater good."

hux's "better galaxy" could only ever work if somehow every single person in it was as devoted and overworked as he is; otherwise put, it could never actually work in real life and is, at best, a pipe dream he and his subordinates can keep working towards forever until they all die.

fascism is all about this sort of thing in real life too. touting a bunch of vague platitudes about making things "better" somehow that don't hold up to scrutiny and would fall apart right away if actually implemented, and prioritizing abstract concepts over real living breathing human beings.

as far as totalitarian villains go i like hux partly because he, at least, genuinely believes he's doing all this war-waging for the greater good. but ultimately, hux's "better galaxy" looks like a world where everybody, even himself, lives a life of bleak austerity in a state of paranoia and constant terror that they'll slip up and do something wrong and get horribly punished.

[armitagehuxsleepschedule]

see it's true that star wars has sometimes had a running theme of how anyone can be redeemed. and it's true that not every villain needs to die and indeed sometimes killing off the villain detracts from the story instead of adding to it. but armitage hux had to die.

it's not about whether he Morally Deserved to die, it's about the fact that the first order is his life. it's his identity, his home, his ideology, it's all he's ever had and all he's ever known. a patriotic first order officer is the only thing he knows how to be. and by the time rise of skywalker takes place, that first order, the one hux has lived for his whole life, no longer exists.

hux sees himself as a cog in the machine, too. yeah, he's always plotting and scheming and grabbing at power, but he does this because he has a vision for the galaxy. what is there left for him to plan for once that vision no longer has any chance of being realized? hux isn't phasma or palpatine, he's not driven to survive at all costs purely for its own sake. he's driven to bring order to the galaxy. he doesn't believe anybody's life has value if they're not "contributing" and that includes himself.

hux is clearly a broken man by episode 9. he doesn't turn traitor because he's learned the error of his ways and wants to help the republic, he does it because that's the only card left for him to play and he hates it. he hates the resistance and everything they stand for. becoming a spy wasn't a survival move for hux. it was a "i failed, i'm done for, and i'm taking you [kylo and palpatine] with me" move.

and it is absolutely tragic, that hux wasted so much time and talent and intelligence and drive on an evil cause—and it is tragic that it all amounted to nothing in the end—and that he died young—but the life of armitage hux isn't a feel good story. it's a cautionary tale about fascism, and believing that the end justifies the means, and being so obsessively dedicated to a cause that you lose yourself in it and stop knowing where it ends and you begin.

having him live and disappear to go live in melancholic peace on some nowhere planet or get tried for war crimes by the new new republic or some such would be less sad, but it wouldn't make for a better story. "it could have been different, he could have turned out different, he didn't have to suffer so much then die in his 30s" is part of the narrative, not wasted potential.

i love being a hux enthusiast. like yes that is the most terrible man he is awful i want him to suffer. but that is also my wife my baby girl. i know him on a deep and personal level. i know hux better than anyone involved w dlf besides maybe mr gleeson. i want to see him crush his enemies and wipe out half the galaxy and become insane with power. i also want to see him defeated and go out gloriously. i want him having a mental breakdown crying on his knees but i also want to wrap him in a blanket and make him tea. i contain multitudes.

Like realistically, no, I don't think Sloane and Armitage would ever acknowledge each other as adoptive mother and son, at least not as things stand at the time of Sloane's death. I like to think of their relationship as occupying a lot of in-betweens that neither want to explicitly bring to the surface, because it would shatter the delicate balance they have. Commander and subordinate, mentor and student, guardian and protectee, friends, leader and follower, mother and son — and also none of those titles define them completely. Like, they're commander and subordinate, but also Sloane knows that the deep familial affection and protectiveness she feels for Armitage goes far beyond what's appropriate for a commander. After snatching him out of Brendol's hands she raised the boy. But mothers don't command their sons on the battlefield.

And Rae also doesn’t want to impose her feelings on someone who's already emotionally vulnerable and has a very complicated history with the idea of 'family.' So she leaves it unsaid.

It's a unique type of frustration when you agree that a character is deeply flawed but other people keep missing what's actually wrong with them and assigning them new flaws that they don't even have it's like free my man he did none of that. He did a bunch of other shit tho.
