sometimes i get annoyed with people pointing out the difference fanon v. canon interpretations of characters like
idk like canon is CANON, its meant to have characters that suit a specific scenario, plotline, theme etc and it’s a completely different beast than transformative fanworks are. most of the time fanworks arent supposed to be direct translations of canon, they’re appeals to the id or fix-its for things writers might find personally disappointing or distressing, its by its very nature not supposed to be a direct translation of canon because its meant to both fill in the blanks and put characters in different settings/experiences to see what things might change and what things might stay the same
which isn’t to say people can’t write different characterizations, or comment on fandom portrayals, or explore things they find more accurate but like….people acting very very shocked when popualr fanon portrayals dont line up expertly with canon confuse me
Jack usually sat in his chair, his seat of power, but doing so would relinquish even more height to Rhys’ advantage and he didn’t think he could handle that, so he stayed standing. He did lean a little bit against his desk, though, as he tilted his head back to look the emperor in the eyes.
That was another thing.
Jack remembered Rhys’ eyes well. They’d matched the color of his robes in that ballroom on Japetus—or at least one of them had. Jack had thought it funny the heir possessed one average brown eye that almost looked human, too warm and dewey for such an ethereal race.
But the one on the left glowed blue, bright and mysterious as a quasar shifting deep in space, or the charging nucleus in Hyperion’s latest elemental shotgun. At least it used to.
As Rhys observed him Jack noted an intrusion in the brilliant blue of his iris. Fiery red-gold now ringed his iris, radiating out from the center, like lava cracking up from beneath the glassy surface and burning its own path.
Jack lapped at his lips, drawing this upper teeth back against a sore in the skin. He’d been nibbling it since the sensors had first detected Rhys’ ship and now it teetered on the edge of bleeding.
“If you don’t want to wipe Hyperion off the star map…then why are you here? I haven’t requested any more rights to your planet. Unless you’re planning to renegotiate our agreement?”
Rhys shook his head.
“Our agreement still benefits the Empire. If anything, I’m here to…strengthen its relationship with Hyperion.”
“Oh?” Jack raised his eyebrow. “You want something from me, then? What could the Empire possibly want with a lowly little weapons company like Hyperion?” He commented, tongue in cheek.
