wrex-writes:

“All writers will envy other writers, other writing. No one who reads is immune. To write despite it I must implicate myself, to confess to myself, silently or on the page, that I am envious. The result of this admission is humility. And a humble person, faced with the superior product of another, does not try to match it or best it out of spite. A humble person, and only a humble person, is capable of praise, of allowing space in the world for the great work of others, and of working alongside it, trying to match it as an act of honor.”

We only said goodbye with words

I died a hundred times

You go back to her

And I go back to

Black

Bar owner Hux, on his good nights, sometimes goes on the stage to sing. Ben hears something akin to a siren call and enters while Hux is singing Back to Black and he feels the proverbial arrow pierce and shatter his heart.

Hux is wearing dark grey dress pants, a crisp white shirt and a black vest and his forearms are covered in black tattoos. He sings while looking far ahead, as if he’s not in this bar, or even in this moment in time.

“They’ve been getting closer for the last few hours,” Ren told him quietly.

“Doing nothing else?” Hux asked, watching the closest set of the glowing, green eyes. They were the size of his palm, and Hux didn’t want to know what they were attached to.

“Mm,” Kylo said. “Just floating there. But clearly sensing us here, which I don’t like.”

“Agreed,” Hux murmured, curling his finger closer to the trigger of his blaster. “There are too many to fight, if it comes to that.”

With a crackling hiss, Kylo’s saber burst to life, the red glow piercing the darkness, and the surface of the lake frothed as whatever creatures were floating out there dove beneath.

‘I sent a video to a kid for his birthday – for the record, it was a one-off, so please don’t ask – because he was a huge General Hux fan. Not in character but also not out of character. His parents took a sly video of him watching it for the first time and his face was amazing. […] Apparently, if he stubs his toe he says, “General Hux, that hurt!” That’s his curse word. That makes me so happy.’
