I just found out that my copy of Star Wars Allegiance that I found at Goodwill literal years ago is fucking signed by Timothy Zahn! As far as I can tell from pictures online, it seems legit. I can't believe i just never looked at the title page before.

I love the old Timothy Zahn Star Wars novels, but Allegiance, a really good book, is basically just the "Are we the baddies?" GIF but played straight.

Still compelling though.

Huddling for warmth or stranded is fun but what if it wouldn't be Kylo, it wouldn't be Dameron who is stranded with Hux. Let's not make it about ships. Let's make it bad.

What if Hux is stranded with Pryde. Because that. That would be a real torment right? What if they fail to kill each other, and they have to somehow survive bc i feel they are both strong on surviving. But then, it's a nightmare for Hux because it's like he is re living his childhood again but without Brendol this time. And Pryde is not making it easier. So one day Hux just breaks into tears, Pryde screaming in frustration at him and Hux not able to comprehend anything any more just curls down on the ground covering his head with arms. And Pryde just freezes above him not able to talk any more bc he just remembered the same scene from the past. Armitage on the ground Brendol Hux above him. Broken glass around. He remembered that he was disgusted then by both of them, the boy crying and screaming without a reason and drunk Brendol. He took a step back and Hux moved quickly, knocked him over, taking his weapon and looking at him with pure determination. Bc he was not a helpless boy any more. But they both knew that neither of them have a chance of surviving alone here. So Hux lets him go slowly.

"From now on. You are on borrowed time, Enric." Hux hissed. "The day i won't need you to survive will be the day of your death."

And every next day spend with Pryde Hux hates himself a little more. For not being able to kill him here and now, for this pathetic break down, for being scared of him, for crying when he is not around, for not being able to stay calm, cool and controlled as he should. For having to share space and rations.

And Pryde it's just becoming gradually more empty. But he starts to flinch every time Hux is making more sudden move.

#armitage hux #star wars #general hux #hux #enric pryde #star wars fanfiction #how awful it was for Hux to see Pryde as Allegiant General #and have to take orders from him?#i can't get over it

here's my two cents on the upcoming episodes' titles that no one asked for

the harbinger: ominous. spooky. most definitely referring to ventress. perfect title, can't wait for the episode to drop

identity crisis: could mean a lot of things but in this house we keep the clown wig ON and hope this is about tech until the very last moment

point of no return: oh we are so fucked

#star wars #tbb spoilers #bad batch #hhhhhhhh whos excited to see ventress again tomorrow #<- sw fandom never beating the glup shitto allegiations #my posts

here are other various memes I've mostly stolen for my star wars purposes that may now be outdated or, like, the reference just isn't even recognizable. poorly crafted, look like shit bunched together in this packaged deal, passing the savings on to you!

bix caleen’s sacrifice

We were told that this show was going to highlight how morally grey the Rebellion is, whatever the heck that means. I phrase it like this because I always get a little wary when folks vaguely insinuate that the Rebels are even remotely on the same level as the Empire in terms of being a nasty bit of business bent on taking over the entire galaxy and causing mass suffering. What’s the old saying, “When the force of example no longer works, there’s just the example of force”? When you take away someone’s tools to object, to protest, and make it a fight for their very existence, what other choice do they have? You fight or you perish. This is what it means to be radicalized. There’s nothing pretty about rebellion. You can’t invoke the revolution and then expect to be comfortably home in time for tea. That isn’t how it works. And after all, folks who murder and control and oppress who say, “Well you gave us no choice but to crank the murder and oppression up to 11 for daring to protest!” are not justified in what they are doing under any circumstances no matter what Luthen Rael has up his sleeve. It’s the usual villainous bullshit of, “If I point a gun at everyone in the room and decide to open fire, it’s your fault! You murdered them.” Yeah, no, sorry that is insane emotional blackmail villain logic.

The point that I’m working towards is that if there is something to find rather disturbing and that makes this show the big moral grey space that we were informed it would be, then it is Bix’s sacrifice to a cause that she did not agree to join.

Bix Caleen and her sacrifice, Bix Caleen caught in the center of the maelstrom as much as Cassian, Bix Caleen who didn’t take a vow or sign up for this.

From what we hear in Episode 9, Salaman Paak met with Kleya two years ago and was being paid to maintain the radio, I am assuming that he had an inkling of what she was about based on the contents of their apparent conversation about Paak wanting to “be more political” (If you check out his son, Wilmon, when Bix asks to go in back in Episode 1, his eyes look like they are vibrating in his head. He knows it’s risky.) But then Paak hands operation of it over to Bix and from what we see she has no knowledge of the radio’s true import. She thinks that she signals a “buyer” to come buy parts so that she can earn some more credits. Sure you could say that she could have asked questions, but why? It’s business and she is a professional. You steal, you sell, you lie low for a bit. Making money at the expense of The Empire is a crime in their eyes, but it is not the same as actively, and here is the keyword, actively, being a rebel. And considering the amount of corruption within the Empire itself being practiced by Imperials, this is small time. Even Dedra acknowledges that being a thief is not in the same league as being “a fish”, though I do not doubt that it is a punishable offense.

Vel, Mon, the heist crew, Anto Kreegyr, Cassian, Lonni Jung, all know what they have gotten themselves into or have at least walked into it willingly. They took a vow, or made a deal for credits, accepted a job. But Bix never makes the conscious decision to get involved. When Luthen speaks of Kreegyr and his men dying, it is lamentable to say the least, but at least they likely go into an operation (forgive the wording there owch Nemik) knowing full well that they might not come out of it alive. This is what the rebellion entails. Their eyes are wide open to paraphrase Kleya Marki when she accuses Luthen of slipping.

Folks are talking about Kreegyr and Jung and how now we are getting into the tough and disturbing choices that the rebels are having to make for the future of the galaxy. Narkina 5, Spellhaus, the Aldhani heist are big spectacles. But for me Bix’s fate is a lot more shocking because it is so vile and so intimate and goes largely unwitnessed. It makes you wonder what else we do not see.

To use Dedra’s phrasing, Bix is put up “on the carving block” for the machinations of Luthen, and Kleya. (Not to mention Paak getting tortured and hanged for merely having this dubious fractal radio.) Of course so are the prisoners and anyone in the galaxy suffering because of PORD, but Bix is all alone in a room, friendless, companionless being tortured in one of the most horrific ways imaginable. It’s even worse than the floor being lava and she has nobody to talk to about it. There is no “One Way Out” for her. She can’t even take her own life if she wants. She is in the Empire’s net and has no means of escape.

I’m certain we have not seen the last of her and I do not think that she will blame Cassian. As she said he and the buyer ‘don’t have a relationship’. Unless of course Dedra and company have poisoned her mind with torture and psychological duress to the point that she now believes that he was complicit. Apart from that, Bix has already gone through it emotionally with her past relationship with him, the incident on Morlana One and its collateral damage with Timm being murdered, and the Imperial occupation. She knows that Cassian is also a victim of the system. But in terms of the Rebellion and being press-ganged into assisting them, without her consent, she might not be so sanguine if she eventually realizes who precisely was at the other end of that radio. We get a small glimpse of this in the prison with Ulaf and Xaul angrily commenting on how the rebel activity has lengthened their sentences.

I am hoping that this is leading to a long and complex storyline for Bix, one in which she resists along with the others, but questions some of the decisions being made. It would be incredible to have a mirror to Mon Mothma in someone working class who knows that the Rebellion is necessary, but who is trying to reconcile the strategies being employed with who is being forced to make sacrifices as a result. I think that Bix would be more willing to use violence at this point considering what she’s been through and who they’ve hurt in her community, but might draw the line at something like sacrificing fifty men. At any rate, I cannot wait to find out.

#star wars #andor #andor spoilers #bix caleen #adria arjona #andor meta #i do think that Bix makes it out #and Gilory et al mentioned that there will be #changes in allegiance #so I wonder how her story will unfold next season #i hope that it involves a bit of agency at the very least #i want Bix to have a main active role #p.s. i love her she's ride or die #i will follow her storyline anywhere #anywhere #just saying

Random Star Wars thoughts concerning this guy:

Enric Pryde AKA Steadfast, who ended his life as the Allegiant General to the First Order and for Emperor Palpatine’s Final Order.

I wish we’d gotten more from this character both in The Rise of Skywalker and in Star Wars media prior to it rather than just after it, had only the folks at Lucasfilm concieved of the character and thought of how to develop and implement him into the story by then.

The main reason isn’t Richard E. Grant or anything like that, as great an actor as he always is. It’s just the vibes that the character gives. The aesthetic and the dark, shadowy layers of Pryde as a concept. Essentially, he is every evil that Palpatine concieved, directed, and unleashed throughout the saga all rolled into a singular package. Really think about this - Pryde is a man who was born and lived his childhood in the twilight of the Old Republic, who was then raised on imperial values and inducted into the Galactic Empire’s military, who then partook in what became the conception of the First Order and served in the First Order at a high rank, and who finally was recruited as a special secret agent for the Sith Cult of Exegol and selected to lead the Final Order. The direct marriage of Imperial style villainy and Sith style villainy is particularly evident with him. The Sith and the ways of the Force are completely foreign to him yet still he worships the Dark Side and devotedly serves his dark masters because he’s so taken in by the power and glory he percieves in it all, as was the case ever since he got to bear witness to Darth Vader in action.

It’s a similar aesthetical blending as how the depiction of the cloned Emperor Palpatine combines the occult evilness of the Sith with The Senate of old, in his large chamber and his red robes, all while being the ruling power behind a large Imperial Star Destroyer fleet above.

Fittingly then, Pryde is framed by the film itself as being the other half of the saga’s final boss besides Palpatine, and we’re shown him meeting his demise at the same time All The Sith is being destroyed.

last confessions

in which Pryde confesses one last thing.

tags and warnings: major character death, canon divergence (Hux doesn't get shot for being the spy), sympathetic Pryde

_____

The explosions send a tremor through the entire Star Destroyer. Hux is currently putting all his effort towards keeping his balance, which seems impossible to do. One glance at the Allegiant General reveals that he is standing as steadfastly as ever - no pun intended, of course. It sends a rush of frustration through Hux' body, even though he has long ago realized that his hate for the man is actually just redirected hate that should be aimed at his father instead, or perhaps even Ren. (Or a good mix of both, he thinks and grips the console even tighter so he doesn't fall.)

"That is impossible," he hears Pryde's voice, a strange mix of disbelief and, buried even deeper but audible underneath his calm facade, mortal terror. "They don't have an army."

Hux clears his throat. "That is not an army, sir," he says.

In a way, he's glad. Because defeating him means defeating Ren, because defeating the First Order means putting an end to what Ren turned it into. But at the same time he can't help but feel...

"The escape pods near my quarters," Pryde says, frantically. He's scared. He's so scared. He's looking death in the eye and he is freaking out.

Where is the man Hux spent all of his energy on the last few weeks? Who is the man Hux hated so desperately because hate was the only emotion that didn't hurt?

Despite having a way out, Pryde doesn't move. He keeps staring at the ship's windows, the open space, the ships targeting them.

"Well?" Hux prompts. "Use it. Escape."

At that Pryde turns to him. Have his eyes always been this blue? They must have been.

"The password is Vanto," he says very calmly. The fear is gone, replaced by something odd, something Hux doesn't understand. It frightens him, even more than the other man's fear.

"Excuse me?" he whispers.

"Vanto. V-a-n-t-o. Repeat after me."

"Vanto?" Hux repeats. The word leaves a strong aftertaste in his mouth.

"Good. Now leave. That's an order."

Hux was not build for survival but he has been trained for it. He nods, turns and starts running towards the doors as the ship around them breaks apart, collapses into itself, as the last remains of the Empire burn out.

"Armitage," a voice calls.

"Yes?" Hux asks without turning around.

"I never liked Brendol very much. I thought you might want to know."

Against his better judgment, Hux turns. Pryde is still standing at the window, his back turned to him, his eyes facing death. Their eyes meet in the reflecting surface of the ship window, and even though Hux tries his best, he can't make out the man's expression. He can take in all the other signs, the way his hands are shaking behind his back, the way his shoulders are raising with panicked breaths. Allegiant General Enric Pryde is scared of death.

There's nothing Hux could say that would make it better. That's why he doesn't say anything at all.

He runs.

I see so many people wondering what would happen if the Bad Batch met/knew Delta Squad, but now personally I’m more curious to know what would happen if the Batchers ever came across the Hand of Judgement

#star wars #Star Wars: Allegiance #Star Wars: Choices of One #the hand of judgement #the bad batch #bad batch #clone force 99 #unfortunately this would be farther in the timeline so the Batchers would be old coots methinks #but it would still be interesting to think about since the Hand consists of Imperial deserters #Tech and Quiller are the pilots and know their ships #Crosshair and Grave are good snipers - a little friendly competition won’t hurt #Hunter and LaRone wondering who has more tired energy #maybe Wrecker would get along with Brightwater?

IMAGINE PRYDE CATCHING FEELINGS FOR HIS ASSISTANT

Tw : none

Infos : Pryde x reader, gn pronouns used

DISCLAIMER:

!ENGLISH ISN'T MY FIRST LANGUAGE!

-He would've been mad at himself. Thinking he was weak to fall for you.

- At first you were scared of him as he was tough and cruel, but you started to be more confident around him as time passed.

- You are a good assistant. You finish everything on time, even in advance if you can. And you do that with a true devotion. And he like that.

- As you became more confident, you started to be nice to him. Asking him what kind of tea he'll like in the afternoon, if he wanted something to eat with it. But never too silly, he hated that and reprimanded you about it.

- He started to kinda like everything you do for him. Even when he was cruel with you, you never let him down. Always on time, never cry, never quit. Just your nice self and your smile.

- One time, because of stress and fatigue, he screamed very bad at you, for nothing. And stop immediately when he saw tears in your eyes. He didn't apologize but give you your day.

- When you walk the day after, he waited for you to tell him that you wanted to quit. But instead you apologized for your "lack of control" and telling him that it'll never happen again. He hated the feeling of relief that he felt when hearing you.

- Since then he tried to be "nicer". And for him that mean avoiding being too tough with you. People didn't saw it, but you do. And sometimes a little smile bloom on your face when he do that.

- He's still the cold and cruel allegiant general, but a little warmer just with you.
