For whatever reason my brain said ‘fuck it, the First Order as rodents’ so here’s that

Supreme Leader Snoke: 

Allegiant General Pryde:

Lieutenant Dopheld Mitaka: 

Captain Phasma: 

General Armitage Hux: 

Kylo Ren:

I’m not done yelling about Hux y'all…. Sorry in advance for the long post I’m on new sleep meds and I have a lot of Opinions about Hux 😂

Anyways. Hux is very competent. Literally nothing in the movies supports the image of him as this bumbling idiot with no qualifications?? And from what I’ve seen, the tie-in/EU works don’t support it either? Like…how does being the butt of a your mom joke by Poe somehow negate everything he’s accomplished?

By age thirty-four, this dude was running a huge military junta politically and tactically, a military junta he had a massive hand in building from the ground up. They almost won the war under him, because of the huge technological advantage he gave them. He wiped out the New Republic; even if the First Order lost in the end, that’s still huge. The resistance strategic victory at crait was directly Kylo’s fault.

Also, like…I may be interpreting text wrong, but I feel like in terms of practical experience the writers were going more for “Hux has less practical experience than you would expect from someone of his rank, and prefers to have other people do the heavywork rather than doing it himself” which people seem to be interpreting as “Hux has literally never set foot on a battlefield or done anything important in person, ever” which seems. Inaccurate, since he personally killed Admiral Brooks, and I got the impression he fought (or was at least present) at the Battle of Jakku (never read any of the books though so I could be wrong on that point)?? But also, completely unrealistic.

Like, you’re telling me that a guy who spent literally his entire life in the military (born into an Imperial academy, effectively conscripted at age 5, been in the army ever since; three decades) has never once seen battle or had to get his hands dirty? I’m not an expert on military things, but the idea of spending thirty whole ass years in the army without ever seeing action seems far-fetched. Especially since part of the reason Hux is able to stay away from the battlefield is because he’s so high up the chain of command. He wasn’t conscripted as a general officer. He was conscripted as…a trooper, or some equivalent.

Finally, on the note of the Imperial vets all vehemently maintaining that the opposite of all this is true? Well, Hux is a politician and a bureaucrat. Everybody hates bureaucrats anyway, and politicians, no matter how good they are at their job, are pretty much 100% guaranteed to have constituents who hate them and disagree with their policy and decisions. Especially during a war. There being people in the Order who think Hux is a total joke doesn’t really tell you anything about how good he actually is at his job.

TL;DR, General Hux is canonically (a) terrifyingly competent, (b) probably not quite as inexperienced as people make him out to be, and © definitely not as out of his depth as people make him out to be.

i just walked past the apartment beneath mine and through an open window i could hear my downstairs neighbor crying faintly while the song jolene played in the background and im just like… bitch are you okay…?

I actually ended up going back downstairs to check on her and brought some leftover cookies I baked this afternoon. she’s very sweet and going through a Breakup Mood™️ after being cheated on. she’s coming over to my gf and I’s annual bad movie night on Friday and she even let me pet her cat named Clarence

my gf thinks it’s funny but very fitting that our downstairs neighbor was able to summon a concerned lesbian just by playing jolene while crying about being done dirty by a man

reblog to summon a concerned lesbian in your hour of need
