🍸Burned-Out Businessman Hux & Bartender Poe for @sitharmitage 🍸
“Okay Red, not to sound like that cliche bartender, but what’s eatin’ ya?”
“What makes you think something’s… bothering me?”
“Come on, you’ve been in here three nights this week. Did Burberry discontinue your favorite cologne?”
“Oh, are you adding comedian to your list of job titles now?”
“Just spill, Hux. I swear I can be a good listener.”
“Its not- oh fine. Since I know you won’t shut up about this. I’ve… Have you ever worked your whole bloody life for something and then realized maybe it was someone else’s dream?”
“Well, if you’re ever looking for a new direction we could use some more help around here.”
“Shouldn’t you consult with the owner before handing out unsolicited job offers?”
“Lucky for you Red, you’re talking to the owner.”
The First Order uniform is supposed to look imposing and it actually does good job with it. Also, General Hux is very well aware about his thinness and does everything to hide this fact and make himself bigger and more imposing, so said uniform is ideal for him. Shoulder pads make his shoulders look wider and bigger, uniform breeches hide slender legs and cut of the uniform itself deliberately produces false impression of imposing figure. Plus, bonus greatcoat for even more impressiveness but the uniform works fine without it too.
When I saw Hux in the TFA I considered him well-built and was shocked when I saw Domhnall in casual clothes (and without them) and realized how thin he is in fact. That’s how well the First Order uniform works. It’s interesting how the fans know how Hux looks under his uniform because they’re familiar with the actor but this knowledge actually is not shared within Star Wars universe.
So here is a question.
How exactly did Poe know that? ;DÂ
During his famous call to the Finalizer he calls Hux “skinny” and “pasty”, in case with Hux and his successful attempt to hide his physique it’s very personal information. It seems Poe 100% knows how exactly Hux looks like under his uniform and it raises a bunch of very interesting questions. And the most important of them, how in fact Poe did know it? Was this information received somehow during the interrogation? How the interrogation exactly went in this case, that’s another question.
Or was it situation when Hux did an aerobics class while Poe was passing by escorted by the Stormtroopers? Was it some compromising photos that slipped to the HoloNet? Or Poe was sneaking onto the Finalizer and accidentally run into Hux while he was in the shower? Or they indeed had an affair? Was it short flaming meeting in some cantina on the outskirts of the galaxy or long-term relationship in the past or it’s a case of the present? Or Poe just managed to successfully undress Hux with his eyes? And, well, if Poe did that, he did it on purpose, and for what purpose, that’s another question. So now it’s up to you guys, and I need to excuse myself to scream into a void a little.
