hey there, stranger

Here you will mostly find Hux, kylux & gingerpilot along with anything Team Green (HOTD) related // I like to procrastinate here. // Currently in my Aegon II Targaryen & Aegond/Jacegon obsession era ^^ (dw I have infinite love in my heart and Kylux is still my baby)

[itssteffnow]

I'm a huge fan of @ironsoulmaker fic Para Bellum so when they commissioned me to draw a comic page for one of the chapters I couldn't believe my luck xD and oh boy, if you haven't read it yet, you definitely missed something!

(Also if you want, look up who's dog tag Hux is holding)

Commissioned this absolutely stunning comic page from @itssteffnow and I am at a loss for words at how much I love it.

@itssteffnow your Kylux art is so iconic, I will straight up say that it’s an honor to have you illustrate scenes from my fic!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Now I will not shut up about it forever lmao

10 years of these two disasters.

[darthnostra]

The Force Awakens came out in 2015, which means this year (in December) is the 10 year anniversary of us meeting General Hux for the first time

[vitriolicia]

Kylo and Hux canonly have a relationship that mirrors an arranged political marriage but if I went into further detail on that thought I’d sound absolutely insane

[resurgentclass-stardestroyer]

Many of the magno-charges had been decorated with cartoons or hastily scrawled words — gallant invocations of the Resistance cause were racked next to obscene suggestions for the First Order's leaders. —The Last Jedi Novelization

Canonically probable that someone has written "Suck a dick Hux" with an accompanying demonstrative cartoon on a magno-charge at least once

[mauthisss]

It totally happened.

What we learned about Hux in The Last Jedi

The loss of Starkiller Base took a lot out of him.

Of course it did. Remember, that it just happened. We have had two years to digest the ending of TFA. Hux has had days, or weeks at the most, depending on the exact timing of TLJ after TFA. Starkiller Base had been the physical culmination of all of his life’s goals manifesting. It would have honestly been bad characterization if that wouldn’t have fucked him up. I think Hux copes pretty well given that his entire arc in TLJ is everything that could possibly go wrong, going very, very wrong for him. Alternative title: Star Wars: Hot Mess Hux.

Domhnall said before that Hux is “obsessive and probably doesn’t sleep much.” Well, watching TLJ, I doubt Hux has even slept at all at this point. 

His authority figure complex runs unimaginably deep.

We knew from Hux’s interactions with his father in the Phasma novel, that he has deep-rooted issues with authority figures in his life, especially male authority figures, since his relationship with Rae Sloane was much less tumultuous.

We see that after Snoke physically hurt Hux a few scenes earlier, Hux is still glowing from receiving praise from him. We know from Aftermath (and supported by his continued hatred of his father in the Phasma novel) that his father Brendol was abusive towards him. So Hux seeking praise from a man who hurt him, suggests a very tragic precedent was set in Hux’s mind as a child and stayed with him as an adult. 

The Last Jedi explores how Ben Solo became Kylo Ren, but I think we can also glean how young Armitage turned into the ruthless General Hux, and it is truly sad. I have written before about Hux as a tragic figure, and what we have seen in the Last Jedi only reinforces that even more. 

Hux sees the way of things as kill or be killed.

When Hux sees Kylo unconscious after Snoke’s death he sees a brief chance to fill the vacuum of power, and his first instinct is to reach for his blaster. Throughout Hux’s entire life this was how things were done. His father would encourage his academy protegees to kill off the weaker students. Hux considers killing Kylo, not only because he wants power (I am sure he does), but he probably thinks if he doesn’t, then Kylo might be the one to kill him. 

He is dedicated to maintaining Order

Snoke died and Kylo Ren took his title. Hux is shocked about it for a second, and then he seems to just get on with his duties. Hux is the movie villain incarnation of “Keep Calm and Carry on,” which makes sense since Domhnall plays Hux a la old Hollywood British antagonist. Snoke beats the shit out of him, and Hux is shaken up, but he keeps that stiff upper lip. Perhaps his dedication to “order” is the only motivation that keeps him going?

He is sensitive about being illegitimate

We know that his mother being a “kitchen woman” was known among the First Order at least during the Aftermath series. It is not clear whether the Resistance has any inkling of Hux’s parentage. In my opinion, Poe made that “your mom” joke just as a default insult. However, we see from the way Hux snaps that it cut deeper than them that. 

Kylo Ren and General Hux are in an uncomfortable truce

The end of Last Jedi shows them working together to some degree, Hux being more willing to cooperate with Kylo than the other way around, but the back and forth struggle for power is very much present. Who knows if it will fade or intensify after the death of Snoke, the man who set his two protegees against each other in the first place. I can’t say for sure yet. However, both men are mentally shattered by the end of Last Jedi, and it is likely that they will begrudgingly work as co-leaders until one or the other, or both, plans to oust the other OR they realize things would run more smoothly if they worked together. The latter is not completely unlikely. They may not like each other, but they are clever characters who may be able to think the situation through more logically now that Snoke won’t be whispering in their minds anymore. Fascinating potential here. 

Domhnall Gleeson is amazing!!! (As always!) 

And I just have to say, Domhnall, thank you so much for putting it all into a another great performance! Domhnall’s trademark of relishing acting roles that make him the butt of the joke/ portray him as an absolute mess (Crash Pad, Peter Rabbit, his Immaturity for Charity skits, etc.), was reflected in the no-holds-bound way Domhnall gave us the unhinged, mentally-falling-to pieces Hux we only got brief glimpses of previously in TFA. Domhnall is not afraid of taking the piss out of himself, and his acting is all the better for it. Kudos Domhnall!

I can’t wait for TLJ to come out on DVD so I can do a more detailed scene analysis!! We got so much more Hux this time around! I am thrilled, guys!! 

[hux-and-gay]

one thing I see in fic a lot and I just don’t agree with (in my opinion) is that Hux wouldn’t mind Kylo calling him a bastard. Even if it’s while they’re alone together I just still don’t see it. I feel like it’s a trigger word for Hux because of his childhood and he doesn’t like hearing it whether directed at himself or someone else. He doesn’t use it himself either. But that’s just my headcanon lol

[itssteffnow]

I did this commission for @mauthisss a while back and now I can finally post it, so exciting! There is a new chapter of Para Bellum and you should definitely go and read it, this fic has a special place in my heart.

General Hux catches Kylo Ren with his shirt off after face time with Rey.

[dragon-of-the-soutn]

I think it’s really fucking funny that Kylux has absolutely destroyed Finnpoe in terms of how many ao3 pages it has. Like Finnpoe, that ship we were all in the trenches with the actors fighting for to be cannon back in the day has been steamrollered by Darth Tantrum and his evil space ginger.

Hilarious. I too love evil gay people with fucked up dynamics and a tendency to kill other people and then each other. Excellent work everyone.

[itssteffnow]

Another 'Put it on Hux'

I really can't say no to these xD

[justdreamingzzz]

Here is my Kylux Secret Santa gift for @mauthisss! Based on the prompt that in order to gain Hux's trust after Crait, Kylo gifts him a ysalamiri for Life Day! Obviously Hux names her Millicent

Thanks so much to @thekyluxsecretsanta for hosting this event this year! <3

[mauthisss]

Thank you so much @justdreamingzzz for this beautiful Secret Santa gift! 🎁 🧡🧡

I slapped it on as my new wallpaper (a bit cropped but will do lol)

(Me worrying about episode 9)

[nervous lipbite]

[twink-hux]

Remember when Hux almost became self aware of the fact he was in a Star Wars movie because he asked one of his officers what the point of all their fancy tech and weapons was if they couldn’t destroy three tiny cruisers ….His Mind

[himbo-kylo]

The next movie he becomes self aware and tries to escape the film. This all happens while the other characters are doing their star wars thing.

[solohux]

okay but Hux and Kylo dating for years until they get married and only when Hux drops his ring one day and it rolls under their bed does he find a large, worn notebook

curiosity gets the better of him and he looks inside

and there are pages upon pages of drawings of him in various day-to-day poses; commanding on the bridge, drinking tea from his favourite mug, relaxing in bed with his reading glasses slipping down his nose whilst he reads his datapad, all painted with watercolours and all take Hux’s breath away

and all with Kylo’s signature at the bottom of each piece of art

[incertascire]

Kylo : When I was a child-

Hux : *snorts* “was”

[nomanchesinchells]

hux with a fluffy coat, ty for the kofi <3
