#tarkin headcanon

🌔It is not very easy to approach Tarkin. If you did, and there was interest in it, then you are part of the political elite. You are undoubtedly the daughter of a great politician or a renowned officer. You are something quite exceptional, combining cold beauty with great intelligence.

🌔He hates futility. You are not. There are probably other women before you who have tried to circle around him, but he saw nothing but pure interest and frivolity. The fact that you behaved with him the same way you would with anyone when you first met worked in your favor.

🌔Tarkin is a glacier. He will not show any gesture of affection towards you but will welcome yours without complaining. A simple caress on his cheek or the fact that you climb into his lap when he sits at his desk thinking could be enough to melt the ice.

🌔“I love you” is not part of his vocabulary. Not even a single tender nickname will come out of his mouth. Tarkin will show his affection by accepting your presence in times when he is isolated or by letting you take part in family rituals on Eriadu.

🌔Unmaterialistic, he does not see the point of offering you anything. However, if he does it – and it will always be for a useful reason – he will never offer it to you directly. He will arrange for the gift to be left in your room or delivered by a soldier. This prevents him from your outpourings of joy which he often finds disproportionate.

🌔He rarely accompanies you in public. Your meetings are often clandestine. In the shade of a candle in his private apartments where he has the best meals brought to him. Tarkin preserves his privacy and is aware that your relationship can have an impact on himself and the way he reacts. He considers you his main weakness.

🌔And that’s probably the best compliment we can give you.

🌔Tarkin can be jealous and possessive towards you. He might have a hard time seeing that other officers are lusting after you. Perhaps this idea will even end up convincing him that he must marry you, even if it means taking the risk of revealing his weak point to the entire galaxy.

🌔In principle, he is always right. You prefer to laugh about it because nothing can change his mind. You understood that each decision had to come from him to be accepted and you learned to use your charms to achieve your ends.

🌔It is difficult for him to comfort you when you are in distress. Tarkin excludes all forms of weakness, including when they come from you. He might sometimes be aggressive because he doesn't know how to deal with your pain. But quickly, he will make up for it by offering you a moment of relaxation somewhere or simply by staying by your side to encourage you to bravely face these trials.

🌔Don't expect him to apologize to you during an argument. He will do it in a deflected way by being softer with you. Maybe even in this kind of situation he could do something for you that would be akin to romance. But do not exaggerate, it will be nothing mushy.

🌔Contrary to what one might believe. Tarkin is extremely loyal to you. Loyalty is something that is close to his heart and in this area you are tied with the Emperor. He will never give in to the seductive parades of other women as long as he shares your life. Even if your relationship is secret.

🌔Although he lets you suppose otherwise, he takes into account what you say to him and criticizes him. You've caught him several times trying to work on some of his unpleasant attitudes just to please you. You don't have to try to thank him, for fear that he will get offended and turn away. But you found it adorable.

🌔He's a busy man. The little free time he has, he tries to spend with you. You are not safe from a furtive visit to your office or apartments. In these rushed moments, Tarkin can be very demonstrative, kissing you without even exchanging a word with you. The force of your frolics at these moments reveals that he is very upset.

🌙You were no longer waiting for his marriage proposal. He who has always been very secretive and private about his relationships did not seem decided to make yours official. This was the subject of many arguments because your confidence in him tended to suffer.

🌙It is likely that the destruction of the Death Star was a trigger for his desire to marry you. He experienced it as a profound failure and you were the only person who really supported him.

🌙You first married in secret then made your union official when the Death Star crisis was behind you. -And your public ceremony was the most grandiose in the entire empire. Nothing can surpass what Tarkin accomplished, including in the private realm.

🌙It is not easy to live with the Grand Moff. He is often absent and absorbed in military and political affairs. However, you are his main aide-de-camp. He only entrusts the management of important matters to you.

🌙After months of negotiations, you managed to get him to take you with him when his missions lasted longer. You make sure that nothing is missing and that things go as smoothly as possible.

🌙You have a certain pride in the fact that he presents you as his wife. Even though you know he has had other women before you, you are the only one he gives access to his personal vessel. - During galas and business dinners, Tarkin counts on your attention to let your ears wander into discussions where he has not been invited. You are the ones who interview politicians' wives and get pretty much everything they want to know.

🌙However, it will be difficult for you to be accepted by the Tarkin family. Especially if your social class is not suitable. Your vacation on Eriadu is synonymous with a trial by fire. But Tarkin is not the type to be impressed by his family and he takes great pride in seeing you not lose face against them.

🌙In the end, they will accept you when you get pregnant. - Because it is obvious that the Tarkin family needs an heir and you intend to be the one to make it happen. - Although he won't admit it, you have a great influence on him. He slowly lets his various apartments be invaded by a feminine touch and even if it annoys him, he willingly adapts to the flowers that sit on the living room table.

🌙You also teach him that it is important to spend time relaxing. You take him along on almost all your outings when he's at home... Much to his dismay.
