Re: okay someone explain pink-haired hux

Okay, I’ve just decided I’m damn good at filtering content, because I’ve managed to stumble over, at most, a couple of fluffy Kylux works. I do feel your pain though: with a pairing like them I’m here for the dark and messed up, not the fluffy.

However, this may not be an ATG (any two guys) phenomenon. It could be precisely the incongruity between genocidal general of the First Order and pink & fluffy that’s drawing this kind of comparison. Perhaps it’s surrealism expression or Dadaist anti-art. Perhaps it’s the transgressive overlay of darkness and sugary-fluff, designed to stir something visceral and unpleasant in the hearts of the audience. Does it make you flinch uneasily? Does the image linger, seared into your mind and bones, even after a brief exposure? Maybe that’s the point.

Then again, I write rather than produce visual art, so this isn’t strictly my area.
