Hail the King Imperial

[taelonsamada]

@0o-starboy-o0 asked me to do another small rant about Imp!Damien, and I think that’s a good idea, considering how much I’m villanizing him in Return to Shore X3 this is gonna be even longer than the hux one, buckle up.

So the Imperium version of Damien is…. Hoooo boy, he’s a lot… the audio starts off with him giving a grand speech to the crowd, as he’s just recently been crowned King-Imperial, after his mother passed away. His mother was a well loved leader, strong and powerful. The youngest member of the Ruling Council, and a Humanborn. You can tell by the way he talks about her how proud he is of her, and of his lineage.

And he makes reference to those who are opposed to his taking the throne, because the ruler before his mother died without an heir, which allowed her to take the throne, and many felt that they should continue that standard, that they should have gotten to choose a new leader like they had with his mother, rather than handing the throne to him. Plus, he isn’t Humanborn, and having a Humanborn leader allowed a new perspective, something he lacks since he’s not. Others feel he’s too young. So he’s starting his ruling with heavy opposition.

After this grand speech he gives, he leaves to meet up with his freshly appointed Royal Consort, our poor sweet Angel. He’s exhausted, and is venting to them about the stress of the day, and dealing with people questioning him. Which is fair, you can tell it’s a lot, because he IS young, and these are massive shoes that he’s got to fill. He asks them how their day was, and remarks about how if anyone gives them shit, to report it. We learn as he speaks that his taking an Unempowered as a Consort is yet another source of contention that he’s caused, but he doesn’t care, because he loves them, and wants them at his side.

And the more they talk, the more you realize that Angel is having second thoughts about this union, because they’re worried about the impact it’s going to have. Which is fair, that’s a valid concern. They’re trying to put the good of the kingdom ahead of their feelings.

This of course upsets Damien, because he adores them, and he’s broken countless customs to do this. We also learn that they grew up together, so their bond is likely very strong. We also learn that they’ve spent ages talking about what Damien would do when he ruled, how he would fix things for the unempowered, give them a voice. But now he’s telling Angel that stuff like that isn’t possible right now, that they need to let it go. And we all know how stubborn Angel is.

This devolves into a worse and worse argument until Damien actually uses magic to paralyze them in order to shut them up, drags them into the bed and curls up with them, to ‘remind them how good it feels to be in each other’s arms, to remember that this is all that matters’. He literally says he would burn the Imperium itself down for them, he loves Angel very much. To a very unhealthy level.

All in all, Damien has been reskinned as more of a yandere than a tsundere. It’s a lot. And the reason for this change, unlike Hux, is pretty clear. It’s the weight of being expected to rule, while trying to cling to the one thing that makes you happy. Amongst all of the storm and turmoil that is him trying to live up to his mother, Angel is his anchor, his safe place. And now they’re saying they feel like it would be better if they left him. If he ruled with someone else.

This is obviously devastating to him. And he reacts the only way he knows how. With a burst of temper, a demand to acquiesce to what he wants. After all, he’s the Prince-Turned-King. What he wants, he gets.

Imperium!Damien still has the desire to change the world the way Canon!Damien does. The difference is, he now has the actual power to enact such change, and that power has gone to his head.

Writing for anything Imperium is something I never thought I’d do, but I was listening to an album of covers of songs from The Wheel of Time books and came across a stanza that hit me like lightning. Naturally I had to include it, so that’s under the cut, too

Give me your trust, said the King on high

A promise of peaceful and prosperous lives

Trust my compassion will reign pure and true

A kingdom of glory and joy through and through

But trust is the scent of a burning village

Trust is the scent from spoils and pillage

Trust is the scent of a soul’s last breath

Trust is the scent of death

—Reflections of Sound, Color of Trust

His mothers taught him to be strong.

The world is hard, sweetling, they told him when he was so small he barely reached their waists. It’s hard to believe Huxley has ever been that size before, and he prefers not to think about it too much. The world is cruel and it takes, and if you are going to survive, you need to be harder and crueler and take before it does.

Oh, sure, they taught him other lessons too–to remember to be soft as well as hard when the time is right, for example–but that is the one he still carries with him every day. It came to him easiest; earth and stone make him what he is, and there is nothing stronger than diamond. Hell, he has the stuff of an entire fucking planet that will bend to his whims, eternally eager to listen to his every wish.

Huxley has learned how to be strong, and hard, and as unyielding as the mountains. People cower when they see him, They avert his eyes and they back away, and each time it only makes him hold his head higher. Of course, he knows what they say when he can’t hear them.

Slow, they whisper to each other in barely-breathed voices. He spends too much time with his head in the ground to understand anything other than yes or no questions.

But he can hit, and he hits without remorse. They know that, too. Huxley doesn’t care that he’ll never be as eloquent as the Academy President, or… or anyone else. He doesn’t need to be. He has his strength, and his power, and with them he never has to worry about anything. His mothers taught him, and they taught him well. He will never have anything stolen from him. Not while he’s still alive and breathing.

At least, that was what he thought.

An idea for Redacted tweets

Also thank you for the suggestions I love them

IMPERIUM || Consort To the Tyrant King-Imperial

“I would burn this Imperium to the ground for you.”

(And the Imp!DAMN Crew is complete! Out of all my Imperium designs, Imp!Damien’s is by far my favorite next to Gavin’s— I got real excited to come up with royal attire. That throne was a pain in the ass, but I do love how it turned out so worth it.

In all honesty, I would’ve loved to have heard what went down leading to Imp!Angel’s execution. Like them getting caught and having to listen to Damien push through announcing their crimes against the Imperium and their betrayal to him right before it happens. Not the ship we were expecting, but one I wanted to know more about—)
