Finn believed her. What else could he do? He grabbed his overcoat, gave his wife a kiss, and headed back out to find Kylo Ren.
From Chapter 21 of Le fin du fin, which is finally beginning to feel really dark to me.
Taggingthisgarbagepicker lilithenaltum toxiclightsabr juniordreamer persimonne I want to know what you’re writing next!
Armitage Hux, meeting his step-mother Maratelle for the first time in thirty years, and lying about things.
Brendol Hux was an antivaxxer, pass it on …
Which sounds like a joke, but seriously - this is the guy who canonically told his students that his cattle would eventually evolve to not need salt if he kept letting them die from mishaps related to acquiring salt (in this case, the cows would lick rocks near the ocean for the mineral and get eaten by sea monsters who lurked there in ambush). Brendol didn’t say the cows would evolve to be more alert or work out a herd strategy for minimizing losses, or that they’d learn to eat salt-laden grasses further away from the shore or only come down to lick rocks when the tide was out and they were safe. No. He said they’d evolve to not need salt.
Which is even stupider than believing that letting a few people die of measles increases the strength of the human herd overall (or that it is somehow more natural to develop immunity through full infection than through injection with a vaccine). It’s more like trapping a hundred people in a room and declining to give them food or water, saying that this way they will evolve to not need either. He is dumber than an antivaxxer.
And so in Phasma when Brendol gets poisoned by the beetle, my headcanon is that it was easy for Armitage to step in and convince everyone that Brendol’s medical wishes were that his frequently-spouted philosophy of survival of the fittest should be carried out on himself. We don’t get the details of that scene in canon, but I don’t think my headcanon is out of line.
It’s an irony I wish I could have made more of in my stories. I have such vicious satisfaction at the idea of him dying that way and his long-time victim, Armitage, being able to kill Brendol with his own stupid point of view.
