Destiny Muses

Finally getting around to making this. 😅 I'm new to RP so I apologize if information is incomplete or missing! 🙏

Please note that not all of my OCs are muses! I am willing to bounce ideas/interactions back and forth if you ask nicely, but some OCs (e.g. Duane) are mostly for close friends. ☺️

⬇️ Rules after the descriptions! ⬇️

General Rules

All roleplay-related posts will be tagged with "#rp-posting." If your Ask is roleplay-related (vs. a general inquiry about my OCs), please let me know so I can respond appropriately!

⚠️ @crow-posting is primarily NOT an RP blog so unless a post is tagged with "#rp-posting," please assume it's OOC. ⚠️

Mun is an adult (25+).

I'm currently not accepting any romantic, fwb, or nsfw RP. I'm also not accepting extreme gore or horror (a little is okay, as Destiny already has these themes [re: Clovis Bray]).

I'm currently not accepting any fantasy AUs (eg DnDestiny) or crossovers besides Halo*. If Halo, I would prefer the main events to take place in the Destiny timeline. For example, Duane-B312 is my version of Noble Six, but his story starts during The Dark Below.

*I can accept crossover characters but not the setting itself. So no gallivanting across Coruscant, Vulcan, or the Citadel, sorry. I might allow a trip in the TARDIS if you're particularly convincing.

Avraam and Bai are [mostly] canon-compliant; RZ-3 is not. I don't have any expectations for canon compliance/divergence but I know it can bother some people.

All spoilers (RP or not) are tagged on this blog to the best of my ability.

I don't have any TWs at this time but can tag whump/angst/grief if asked.

These rules may be updated periodically. ✌️

Thalia & Pravin, bad things happen bingo, "Disowned by Family"

Hi, time for some PAIN

For @dadrunkwriting and @badthingshappenbingo

WC: 1335

---

The rookery in the Ostwick Circle could only be reached by a staircase hugging the outside of the stone tower, about three-quarters of the way to the top. Mages, especially young, unharrowed acolytes, were allowed there only rarely, usually with special permission from a Senior Enchanter.

Thalia had no such permission, so she had to sneak. 

It was inevitable someone would not close the door tightly, when coming or going. If one spent enough free time lurking in the landing — sitting in the window seat overlooking the misty bay, for instance, pretending to be doing homework — and could move quickly, wedging a slippered foot into the gap before it closed, it could be done. Thalia became skilled at swift, smooth silence, sliding through and letting the door shut with only the smallest of clicks. 

It was a joke among the acolytes that the rookery was so different to get to, literally and figuratively, to discourage the homesick youngsters from flooding the place with letters to home. And, to be sure, it was a distressing climb, with the salty wind whipping her twin braids from her shoulders, her new robes billowing about her, but Thalia was not deterred. 

The keeper of the rookery was an old, sad man called Clovis. He dressed all in grey, and was not a mage himself, as far as Thalia could tell, but he had a knack with the ravens and treated them kindly. He had them all named, like friends. When he saw her, his wrinkly face would light up and he would give her a bright smile. 

“Lady Thalia!” he’d exclaim. “It’s a pleasure to see you again.”

And he always called her “Lady.” Not many remembered this courtesy in the Circle.

In hindsight, Clovis had to know she had no right to be there. Not so often and certainly not when the answer to her inquiry about letters from home was always a gentle “Nothing, sorry.” 

“Maybe the ravens are getting lost?” Thalia asked at first.

No, said Clovis. The ones he sent with her carefully rolled and sealed parchments tied to their legs always returned, whole and in good spirits. 

“Maybe they’re losing the letters on the way?”

No, said Clovis. His ravens were trained to be some of the best. They would not be so sloppy as to dump their cargo. Once, maybe, as a fluke. But as Thalia’s sent letters multiplied and she received no reply, not from Mother or Father, nor from Laela or Micah, not even from Charlotte, her favorite sister… 

“Cheer up, child,” Clovis said, offering her a huckleberry scone from the kitchens. “They’re probably just busy.” 

Too busy to write? Too busy to answer her pleas, the insistence that she wasn’t a mage after all, that there was some terrible mistake and they didn’t need to be cross with her anymore? That if she could come home she would be perfectly behaved, she promised? That she’d even agree to Mother’s demand she start sorting suitors, even though — personally — she thought fourteen far too young to be betrothed? 

Thalia swallowed her tears, thanked Clovis, and fled. 

The next time she snuck into the rookery, Thalia had devised a different plan. Her immediate family wasn’t responding, but she had other relatives, and in particular a veritable slew of cousins. After extensive review — even though there was really no contest — she settled upon her Antivan third cousin, Pravin. He was her favorite, truth be told. But he was significantly older — twenty-four now, she thought — and she hadn’t heard from him since he left the family in disgrace a couple years earlier. Over, what it had always seemed like to Thalia, having too much fun at the expense of their stuffy family. 

“But I’m not sure where he is right now,” Thalia explained to Clovis. “Do you think your raven can still find him?”

“Old Ethyl can find anyone, my lady,” the old man assured her as he tied the rolled parchment to the bird’s leg. 

The reply came some months later, and Thalia was delighted, though also dismayed: Pravin was in Ferelden, marching in the army against the Blight. He explained little about how he’d arrived, and even less about his relationship with the rest of the Trevelyans. But he was curious about her situation and wanted to learn all about it. 

Thalia wrote him long letters, some far too long to fix to one raven’s leg, so she was always crossing out and rewriting, trying to cut to the heart of it. 

I’m not really a mage, she wrote. There’s been some mistake. Can you help me find a way out of here? No one in my family will speak to me. 

Pravin did not write back that he didn’t believe her. Instead he asked about her studies, to send him funny stories about the students and the enchanters and the templars. Thalia told him she was learning about primal magic, the basics mostly, but her favorite elective was herbalism. She sent him sketches of the plant specimens she picked out of the Ostwick Circle’s courtyard garden, so vast and lush one could close her eyes and believe it was a real forest. 

He told her about his fellow soldiers, louts one and all, it seemed, mostly conscripts from farms. Thought they seemed to have a camaraderie all their own. Fear not, he wrote. When this Blight has passed and I’m allowed some leave, I’ll come visit.

Thalia’s heart soared. The acolytes were rarely allowed visitors, but if anyone could find a way in, it would be Pravin. She had stopped asking for help to escape. Her powers had expanded under tutelage, and it became difficult to imagine anyone would believe her, if witnessing what she could do with them. 

Then weeks passed, and Thalia did not hear from Pravin. Weeks became months. Worried, Thalia hounded Clovis for any news of how the fight against the Blight fared, although the passage of such information was strictly forbidden. Knowledge of the outside world was detrimental to the mental fortitude of the dedicated mage, the Senior Enchanters reminded the apprentices often. Even so, the news of the Blight was so devastating it leaked in through the cracks. Most students spent their days meek and on edge, fearing the taint could be making its way across the Waking Sea as they ate and studied and slept. 

Clovis frowned so hard at her he seemed to make new creases in his heavily lined forehead. “My lady, I wish you wouldn’t trouble yourself with such dark wonderings.” 

“If the Blight has claimed my cousin,” Thalia countered, “I think I have a right to know.” 

Clovis had kind heart, when it came down to it. Perhaps he saw some of himself in her. It was a lonely life for many in the Circle, he murmured to himself sometimes, when he left her nibbling a biscuit to tend to the birds. He thought she couldn’t hear, but she could. You learn to live with it, though, you do. 

Eventually, Clovis told her of Ostagar, of the fall of King Cailan, the treachery of Loghain Mac Tir. Thalia did not think Pravin had been at Ostagar, but the situation in Ferelden was dire, nonetheless. That was why, Clovis guessed, that Thalia had not heard from Pravin. 

Thalia kept writing, at first. Clovis even let her use Old Ethyl. Each time, the raven would return with the scroll still tied to her foot, looking annoyed, if that was something ravens could do. 

“Strange,” Clovis clucked, handing the unopened letter back to her. “Shall we try again?” 

Thalia tried again, and again. Ethyl returned with the letter intact, squawking unhappily. 

“That means she can’t find him, doesn’t it?” Thalia asked sullenly. 

Clovis sighed. “I’m sorry, my lady. We could keep trying.”

He’s dead, Thalia thought then. It was a windy, rain-blown day that had already put everyone in foul spirits. 

“It’s all right,” Thalia said, snatching the damp letter back. “It doesn’t matter.”

failure, ghost, mask for whoever you wanna do these for :3c

failure: What's your OC's greatest failure? Have they been able to move past it? Does anyone else know about it?

I don't think I have a good answer for this one YET. At some point Fuller is going to fuck up BADLY and have a delightful and terrible crisis of faith for the first time in her entire bastardous second life bc the pure wonderful logic of Scientific Inquiry is going to be insufficient to the problem she's made for herself. Whatever it is Hapax will be there bc they are horribly disasterously codependent once they start getting along <3

ghost: Who or what haunts your OC? What happened? How do they live with their ghosts?

my vexo Titan's past haunts it in pretty much every way possible. It's an early prototype, I thiiink probably before Clovis figured out he had to make the exo bodies sleep/breathe/feel pain in order to not have them tear themselves apart, and before the alkahest was fine-tuned, so there's too much untainted radiolaria in there. It thinks of itself as a security frame more than anything else, when it thinks of itself at all, and doesn't have a great handle on itself as an individual bc it remembers being Vex too well- not a part of a hivemind, but a single point in a pattern of probability like how we approximate electrons. Existing as a single mind in a single body is... frustrating and alien, despite its Ghosts best efforts to simulate that belonging thru constant neural interfacing.

mask: Does your OC wear a mask, literally or figuratively? What goes on beneath it? Is there anyone in their life who gets to see who they are under the mask?

Hapax absolutely wears a mask when working in the Reef, but since that's what she does Immediately upon resurrection, it's so ingrained I don't think she even really realizes it until Fuller starts to pry it off of her. Her flat affect and lack of social graces make her extremely off-putting to most, and so she's learned enough to make interactions run smoothly but it certainly doesn't come naturally. Fuller is the first one to see her un-filtered and not only not be freaked out, but prefer her that way.

I was taught that the Clovis people's spear and atlatl combo made them more efficient predators than other species, specifically because they could attack from afar in a hidden location. This, according to my professor, along with the lack of meat preservation techniques adapted to the climate of the Americas south of the glaciers, was what drove various native megafauna to extinction. I would like to do more research into this topic from an indigenous perspective and through the lens of critical scientific inquiry that isn't based on colonizing powers' viewpoints. Does anyone have any research materials I could look into, preferably aimed toward a non-anthropologist audience? My focus is marine ecology so my understanding of early human habitation on the Americas outside of marine resource management is admittedly hazy.

Pleistocene extinction is an uncomfortable topic for me because the causes are not fully understood, but the likelihood that humans played a role in the extinction of Pleistocene megafauna brings out a nasty side of people where they're like "as you can see, humans kill everything they touch and destroy ecosystems wherever they go"

In particular they are often specifically talking about megafauna of the Americas, Australia, Madagascar or other islands. (this idea is usually paired with talking about people crossing the Beringia land bridge). It's all the exact places where indigenous peoples have been trying to assert their rights to their own land

Furthermore, the "holocene extinction" idea treats the current biodiversity crisis created by colonialism and capitalism as equal to the extinction when the Ice Age ended.

If we accept the proposition that the end-Pleistocene extinctions were caused by humans and that this quality means all of the "Holocene extinction" shares a common cause, that treats environmental destruction and exploitation as a fundamental effect of human presence, instead of a result of policies and systems of power that are not inevitable.

But the most important reason may be that the figure of Joseph Mifsud, so central to the prosecution of Papadopoulos and to the investigation of Trump’s 2016 campaign, makes little sense in the stories laid out by Robert Mueller’s team or by the Democrats in Congress. Far from being a Russian cutout, as people like Congressman Adam Schiff and various U.S. news outlets have suggested, Mifsud seems to be a figure who was tied to high government officials in the west. So far, few of those associated with him have opened up public inquiries or otherwise retraced their steps, which you would expect if they felt they had been victims of Russian infiltration. The FBI spoke to Mifsud in early 2017 when he was in the United States and let him go, allegedly because Papadopoulos had misled them, but they don't seem to have gone hunting for him during the months that followed, even after the arrest and charging of Papadopoulos, nor do they seem to have alerted European allies. Mifsud continued to live and work in Europe as normal. Mifsud went into hiding shortly after the statement of offense against Papadopoulos was made public, in October 2017, but Italian media has since reported that Mifsud spent some of those months in a Rome apartment that was paid for by one of his erstwhile employers, Link Campus University, a small organization with ties to Italian intelligence. In short, with Mifsud, the rabbit holes are endless, and even the truth will be prove to be twisted.

To solve such mysteries, then, is why Barr and others are so interested in going to Rome and Australia. And, whether or not you trust Barr and team, there is reasonable cause for them to be taking their actions. If they’re expecting Papadopoulos’s narrative to bear fruit, however, they’re going to come up dry. I spent weeks trying to square Papadopoulos’s memories with various theories of the case, and I began to notice that those recollections kept changing or contradicting the available paper trail. Even the Trump campaign was on the receiving end of a number of false boasts from Papadopoulos, such as a claim of having met with the Russian ambassador to the United Kingdom, when no such thing had happened. Most important, I realized that there was very little basis for a linchpin of countless narratives concerning Papadopoulos: namely, that Mifsud had mentioned Russian hacking. It’s a claim that nearly everyone, including the Mueller team, has embraced, but the only person making it is Papadopoulos himself. Why would he make such a claim? As the lawyer and blogger Hans Mahncke has laid out in more detail, it may well have been a panicked attempt to deflect trouble growing out of still more untrue claims. (Papadopoulos did not respond to a request for comment.)

Unfortunately for Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani seems to embrace Papadopoulos’s version of the story, in which Alexander Downer and Joseph Mifsud were co-conspirators. Last spring, mentioning the case of Papadopoulos, Giuliani told Fox News’s Bret Baier, “If that’s not a counterintelligence frame-up, I will eat my hat.” And if that’s how Giuliani feels, then it is likely that he has persuaded Trump to feel the same way. That’s why Giuliani has been globetrotting on Trump’s behalf and, it seems, bullying people and making a fool of himself. In short, he appears to be as obsessed with a wrongheaded theory of the case as any Russiagater on MSNBC.

At the same time, those who view investigations of the origin of Russiagate as nothing more than partisan attempts to discredit the work of honorable civil servants may want to brace themselves for unsavory findings. Even looking only narrowly at one element of Russiagate, the case of Papadopoulos, we can see questionable behavior by his prosecutors, notwithstanding his guilt. Here is one small but revealing example. In the summer of 2016, Papadopoulos wrote to Trump campaign official Sam Clovis about some “requests from the U.K., Greek, Italian, and even Russian government for closed door workshops/consultations” at a London venue. (In reality, no such requests had been made, but that’s beside the point here.) Clovis wrote back, “I have too much to do that requires me to be in the states” and encouraged Papadopoulos and another foreign policy advisor to “make the trips, if it is feasible.” The prosecution edited this exchange in order to make it look much more sinister. They described it as the culmination of “several weeks of further communications regarding a potential ‘off the record’ meeting with Russian officials” and quoted Clovis as saying that Papadopoulos should “make the trip[], if it is feasible.” In other words, the original suggests a series of London-based workshops that might include Russians, while the prosecution’s version suggests a concerted effort to link up with Russian officials and taking a trip to make it happen. I was able to see the difference only because I had the original emails. This sort of elision, which ran throughout the case against Papadopoulos, gave me an unfavorable impression of the Mueller team.

More broadly, we all have a stake in finding out whether U.S. authorities proceeded by the book when they began to investigate the campaign of Donald Trump in 2016. The FBI had a FISA warrant on Trump advisor Carter Page that lasted for months and kept being renewed, yet we know it relied in part on the infamous “pee-tape” dossier that had been put together by someone who was paid by the Clinton campaign. That this dossier’s author, Christopher Steele was working with the wife of a Justice Department official connected to the investigation was, at the very least, a glaring conflict of interest. Returning to the case of Papadopoulos, a vague statement to Alexander Downer that, according to Downer, didn’t mention “dirt” or “email” but merely Papadopoulos’s belief that the Russians had “material that could be damaging” to Hillary Clinton hardly seems like an adequate justification for a major FBI investigation of a presidential campaign. As for the case of Ukraine, officials in that country were open in their opposition to Trump in 2016, and the Financial Times reported on a Ukrainian and MP and other “political actors in Kiev [who] say they will continue their efforts to prevent a candidate—who recently suggested Russia might keep Crimea, which it annexed two years ago—from reaching the summit of American political power.” It’s not as crazy as it looks that Trump, in light of Russiagate, wants to figure out what was going on back then.

Now, none of this is to give a pass to Donald Trump. He deserves to be investigated, and possibly impeached, for his behavior toward Ukraine over the past several months, and if you want to get a sense of how much power the president has to turn the screws on weaker parties, few recent stories have been better reported than a recent one from The Wall Street Journal showing how things looked from the Ukrainian side. Sending a henchman like Giuliani over to Kiev and dropping strong hints to Ukraine’s leaders of what you’re hoping to find is a recipe for lies and corruption.

But probing Trump’s misbehavior cannot be an underhanded instrument for shutting down investigations into what happened in 2016. Uncovering that part of the story may be unhelpful to the impeachment narrative in the coming months, but it is no less important than investigating this president. Trump represents the flouting of rules by one man, but the origins of Russiagate represent the potential flouting of rules by many people. If the FBI and the intelligence community can overstep their bounds in pursuit of a president many of us hate today, they can do so against a president we like tomorrow. So, no, Trump’s or Giuliani’s pet theories won’t bear fruit. No, there’s no DNC server in Ukraine, or whatever the hell Trump believes. No, Joe Biden didn’t try to fire a prosecutor for going after Biden’s son. No, George Papadopoulos isn’t the key to an international anti-Trump conspiracy. But the belief that Russiagate grew out of partisans overstepping their bounds—well, that’s still awaiting the jury. With or without Trump in office, we owe it to ourselves to figure out whether it’s true.

this is why it’s so tough to believe in either russiagate or the counternarrative that russiagate was a us intelligence honeypot intended to destroy trump. the people who are saying this shit are professional brown-nosers, bullshitters who get paid to slather on the praise until they manage to convince whoever’s in power to take on a business deal (and for that they get paid millions). the idea that these imbeciles could be co-conspirators on anything other than a dinner party is frankly absurd. the fact that the FBI will run roughshod over proper investigative procedure if it prejudges that someone is guilty is not in doubt because we see it happen to its much poorer victims all the time, so the notion that it might have done so here is not unfathomable. 

[rhysintherain]

Pre-Clovis is pretty solid at this point.

We've got pretty solid evidence from Bluefish cave (Yukon) and White Sands (New Mexico) that put humans in the Americas more than 20,000 years ago.

We also have evidence from Tse'kwa in BC that the Clovis-era hunters who travelled the ice-free corridor were heading north, not entering North America for the first time heading south.

I'm still pretty sceptical about the 100,000 years+ claims, though.

The first reason is because a lot of these claims are related to the Cerutti Mastodon site, where Demere and company claim they found evidence of humans butchering mastodons 130,000 ago. Most other archaeologists think they just found evidence of modern industrial equipment running over buried Mastodon bones in the last 50 years or so.

The other reason is that it doesn't line up with oral histories I've heard from Indigenous sources I trust. From the people I've talked to in northwestern Canada, they ballpark their oral histories as going back to around 30,000 years ago. In some cases these are stories about massive glaciation, interacting with mammoths and other megafauna, and the arrival of species like salmon that moved into this region as the glaciers receded. These are people who know the area and their histories better than I ever will, so I'm inclined to trust their accounts. (For a documented example, this is the number Frank Tseleie cited in the 1974 Berger pipeline inquiry.)

Personally, I don't think we've found the earliest archaeological evidence of human history in the Americas yet. Partly that's because archaeological material that far back is hard to find and harder to date accurately. I think in the next few decades we'll find older evidence, but I doubt it will go back further than 50,000 years.

Have just started reading a book by an indigenous archaeologist (Paulette Steeves) and this seems like a really good thing for me, and for all archaeologists, to keep in mind as we work:

[countessofbiscuit]

Thank you!!

Can’t believe I forgot the time Padmé leveraged backdoor channels to open unsanctioned and illegal negotiations, using Ahsoka’s Jedi clearance to smuggle herself to Raxus, and never disclosed it. But Mina Bonteri is framed as a good Separatist, whereas everyone and their mother knows the Trade Federation is evil, so Riyo’s concession to spare the reputation of one of their ambassadors is judged more harshly, regardless of its immediate humanitarian ends. (One might also argue that Riyo retained an evidently influential channel within that corporation to prevent further unilateral hostilities against her planet, to her credit as a diplomatist.) 

And oh yes, Rush Clovis, who might have come forward with his own testimony against the Trade Federation during his political exile, still holds an official position within the Banking Clan, despite the fact that Padmé did reveal his part in colluding with the Separatists and the war-profiteering of the Banking Clan (“I’ve exposed that before. Nobody cares.”). Padmé, with special dispensation from the executive power alone and no oversight from the public or the Senate (but Palpatine IS the Senate D:), works alongside him to commit espionage, theft, and destruction of property against a constituent sovereign state of the Republic. She is not held accountable for any of these actions, nor does the Republic seem to give a womprat’s ass about conflicts of interest. 

We’re primed to be rooting for the Republic — or rather, a progressive ideal of what it could be; so I suppose Padmé’s political shiftiness is somehow more palatable because her motives are depicted as more universally “democratic”, everything is “for the Republic”; whereas Riyo’s two episodes demonstrate her motivation to do good by the system she represents (and her evident commitment to non-violence). Or maybe I’m just slightly more of a consequentialist (“did it tend to the greater good?”) when it comes to ethics in negotiation, rather than a deontologist (“was it right in itself?”). 

Palpatine: “Bonteri? … How was the dialogue established?” Padmé: “Does it matter, Chancellor, if the result is an end to the war?”

I’m absolutely not trying to pit Padmé against Riyo; I’m just surprised that a complaint about Riyo being incorrectly written as Padmé 2.0 because Riyo is ~~corrupt~~ seems to ignore examples of Padmé using the very same opaque strategies to improve a situation — and that all the off-screen benefit of the doubt is given to Padmé and not to Riyo, which is a completely subjective characterization decision. 

Indeed, if corruption is “a form of dishonesty or criminal offense undertaken by a person or organization entrusted with a position of authority, to acquire illicit benefit or abuse power for one's private gain,” and Riyo is a public servant of Pantora acting in the public interest of Pantora, pinning her with corruption at all seems a stretch — she has a primary duty of care to Pantora, not to the galaxy at large; and the ethics of the question are, like many events in The Clone Wars, a good example of the Dirty Hands Problem in politics, and especially in secret diplomacy, which she is authorized by her head of state to conduct. 

My personal guess is that Riyo, being rather astute, makes a disclosure of her negotiation to the Senate Ethics Committee to form part of the record, knowing that the longer she sits on it, the less potency it may have in terms of incriminating an already un-incriminable corporation. Most real-world ethics committees receive complaints, disclosures, and allegations in confidence and have discretion over whether they move to inquiry, whether law enforcement is informed, and what information is made public. I’m also guessing that an ethics committee which saw fatal economic sanctions lifted from a constituent state without military intervention and the safe return of a hostage would probably not press for a public inquiry of Riyo’s double-crossing of a diplomatic official, as this would basically set a precedent that bilateral interstate negotiations are subject to public and legal scrutiny, which isn’t even the case in the real world (there’s a fundamental assumption of confidentiality); and I’m also guessing they would put her testimony against the Ambassador in a growing pile labelled “Trade Federation Officials Caught Working with Separatists, Water is Wet”, also probably recognizing that pressing the Trade Federation to waive the Ambassador’s diplomatic immunity to allow him to stand trial in Pantoran or Republic Courts would be futile, when they are happy enough to offer up Sib Canay.

If one is determined to view Riyo Chuchi as a character of little integrity because we don’t see her stand before the Senate and again accuse the Trade Federation of treason, resulting in the sham or actual dismissal of a useful contact in the corporation (one whom Riyo might be able to open beneficial negotiations with in future), kicking off Lott Dod’s broken record about neutrality, and further delaying the relief of Pantora (and there’s no guarantee a vote would have gone in Pantora’s favor) … okay. The most we can lay at her door (and Ahsoka’s and Chairman Papanoida’s) is an assumed non-disclosure of the malfeasance of a diplomatic official belonging to a constituent state in the Republic in exchange for a cessation of hostile acts. How one judges that depends largely on what value premise you start from. 

sphere of interest

A couple posts went round a month or two ago about Riyo Chuchi being a uniquely corrupt character. That she’s privileged and participates in a corrupt system (for better or worse) is true enough, but those posts stuck with me particularly because the OP bemoaned Riyo’s portrayal as a knock-off Padmé and seemed to take issue with the fact that she’s written as humanitarian, soft-spoken, and compassionate (which I see nothing in canon to contradict) — as if those qualities cannot exist in a character alongside diplomatic cunning, ethical ambiguity, and a mastery of realpolitik. Or, that her nuance is somehow universally lost on fandom because folks enjoy writing this minor character sweetly wining and dining and fucking rather than, idk, engaging in a heated disagreement with Bail Organa about installing Rush Clovis as head of the Banking Clan. 

I can’t really speak to OP’s frustration with fandom iterations of Riyo (I’ve only written her, not widely read her); but their mention of Padmé was interesting because a) I’ve seen a very distinctively characterized Riyo badly scrubbed off a fic to be replaced by Padmé, and b) the entire premise upon which Riyo’s alleged corruption hangs — undisclosed evidence that the Trade Federation, specifically their senator, Lott Dod (though, as I pointed out, OP had confused Lott Dod for an unnamed TF ambassador), is in cahoots with the Separatists — forms a significant part of an earlier episode in the timeline featuring … everyone’s favorite do-gooder, Padmé Amidala. 

In “Senate Spy” (s02ep04), Padmé witnesses and obtains actual fax hard evidence (a data chip handed over to the Jedi Council) of Senator Lott Dod’s collaboration with such Separatist big-wigs as Poggle the Lesser, in financing and supplying a droid factory for Count Dooku; furthermore, Padmé suffers attempted murder at Dod’s hand in the form of poisoning, which Anakin and Senator Clovis both witness. 

Now, Padmé was too ill to converse with Dod and so escapes any accusations of blackmail, spying, and theft by a bad-faith actor (luckily for her character, I guess), and Anakin was too busy saving her life … but to explain how Lott Dod is still kicking around in the Senate to falsely (though perfectly legally) claim neutrality and practice nefarious misdeeds upon inhabitants of the galaxy at the time of “Sphere of Influence”, I suppose we have to assume that neither Padmé nor Anakin nor the Jedi Council reported, privately or publicly, Dod’s active collusion and attempted murder.

If we’re talking a breach in ethics, this assumed non-disclosure on Padmé’s part is a pretty egregious one; the intelligence she collected during the impromptu sting would not have been affected (given that its theft was known to the Separatists, there was no Enigma Dilemma involved). And silence on this misconduct was very probably illegal, because we can suppose Senators were technically required to report the crimes of other Senators (especially in the case of treason, which was tried in the Senate itself) to the Internal Activities Committee.

The Internal Activities Committee was a political committee of the Galactic Republic Senate that was part of the Judiciary Committee and was considered to be a spiritual partner of the Ethics Committee. Distinctively from the Ethics Committee, however, the Internal Activities Committee had the power to bring forth criminal charges on individuals. The Internal Activities Committee of the Galactic Senate supervised the affairs of senators and other ranking Galactic Republic officials, such as the Supreme Chancellor, ensuring that they did nothing unethical or illegal. If such misconduct was found, it was the Committee’s duty to notify the Supreme Court and hand over all evidence of misconduct for prosecution. (x)

OR … we choose to operate under the assumption that Padmé did talk both ways and sideways and upside-down in the Senate about Lott Dod’s villainy, and yet … there was nothing that could be done; no charges could be filed; perhaps the Supreme Court has no affirmative duty to prosecute, even when presented evidence of factual guilt; and this blatant criminality by a Senator had no practical effect whatsoever in convincing the Senate to revoke the Trade Federation’s representation, or to end that corporation’s galactic monopoly. Lott Dod himself had already denounced the Viceroy of the Trade Federation (Nute Gunray) as a Separatist on multiple occasions (even to Bail Organa), and this too was not enough to move the Senate to act. Clearly, we can expect the Trade Federation to act with impunity, whatever iota of intelligence Riyo Chuchi does or does not preach to the choir about a diplomat when she successfully negotiates for a peaceful end to a blockade that is having fatal consequences on her home planet. 

There are probably examples, too, where Padmé secretly negotiates with the enemy to end or prevent some hostility or other. If anyone can think of times she’s doing this without a blaster in her hand, I’d like to hear it! 

Maybe I’ll tackle diplomatic immunity, duty of care, and limits to public disclosure, and my other objections to that Riyo meta and its value judgements, and its application of American law to what is clearly an international incident in the narrative, in another post.

WASHINGTON — The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, announced charges on Monday against three advisers to President Trump’s campaign and laid out the most explicit evidence to date that his campaign was eager to coordinate with the Russian government to damage his rival, Hillary Clinton.

The former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, surrendered to the F.B.I. and pleaded not guilty to charges that he laundered millions of dollars through overseas shell companies — using the money to buy luxury cars, real estate, antique rugs and expensive clothes. Rick Gates, Mr. Manafort’s longtime associate as well as a campaign adviser, was also charged and turned himself in.

But information that could prove most politically damaging to Mr. Trump came an hour later, when Mr. Mueller announced that George Papadopoulos, a former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, had pleaded guilty to lying to the F.B.I. and was cooperating with investigators. In court documents released on Monday, federal investigators said they suspected that Russian intelligence services had used intermediaries to contact Mr. Papadopoulos to gain influence with the campaign, offering “dirt” on Mrs. Clinton in April 2016 in the form of “thousands of emails.”

Mr. Papadopoulos secretly pleaded guilty weeks ago to lying to the F.B.I. about those contacts and has been cooperating with Mr. Mueller’s prosecutors for months.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/10/30/us/politics/document-paul-manafort-rick-gates-indictment.html

Monday’s dramatic announcements capped months of speculation about which of Mr. Trump’s campaign advisers might be first to be charged by Mr. Mueller, and they seemed to be a sign that the special counsel’s investigation is nowhere close to complete.

“There’s a large-scale, ongoing investigation of which this case is a small part,” Aaron S.J. Zelinsky, a prosecutor on Mr. Mueller’s team, said at Mr. Papadopoulos’s plea hearing this month. The transcript of the hearing was released on Monday.

It is now clear, from Mr. Papadopoulos’s admission and emails related to a meeting at Trump Tower in June 2016, that the Russian government offered help to Mr. Trump’s candidacy and campaign officials were willing to take it.

The United States has concluded that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia tried to tip the outcome of the 2016 election in favor of Mr. Trump. As part of that effort, Russian operatives hacked Democratic accounts and released a trove of embarrassing emails related to Mrs. Clinton’s campaign. Mr. Mueller and his team are investigating whether anyone close to Mr. Trump participated in that effort.

The announcements rippled across Washington, affecting both political parties. The powerful Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta quit his lobbying firm Monday. The firm, the Podesta Group, was hired to do lobbying work on behalf of Ukraine, work that is at the heart of Mr. Manafort’s indictment.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/10/31/us/politics/manafort-mueller-money-laundering-fraud.html

The tax and money laundering case against Mr. Manafort describes a complicated scheme in which he lobbied for a pro-Russia party in Ukraine and its leader, Viktor F. Yanukovych, and hid proceeds in bank accounts in Cyprus, the Grenadines and elsewhere. Prosecutors say he laundered more than $18 million, and spent the money extravagantly. A home improvement company in the Hamptons was paid nearly $5.5 million, according to the indictment. More than $1.3 million more went to clothing stores in New York and Beverly Hills, Calif.

Mr. Manafort bought a $3 million brownstone in Carroll Gardens in Brooklyn and a $2.8 million condominium in SoHo, prosecutors said. “Manafort used his hidden overseas wealth to enjoy a lavish lifestyle in the United States without paying taxes on that income,” the indictment reads. He was also charged with failing to register as a foreign lobbyist.

The charges carry the potential for roughly 20 years in prison, putting pressure on Mr. Manafort to provide information on others in exchange for leniency. Among other things, Mr. Manafort could shed light on how widely in the campaign it was known that Russia had damaging information on Mrs. Clinton. A senior White House lawyer, Ty Cobb, said last week that the president was confident that Mr. Manafort had no damaging information about him.

In a court appearance on Monday, Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates pleaded not guilty and were placed under house arrest on multimillion-dollar bonds. Mr. Papadopoulos is awaiting sentencing.

Mr. Manafort’s lawyer, Kevin Downing, called the money laundering charges “ridiculous” and noted that in the past half-century, prosecutors have charged only a handful of people with flouting foreign lobbying rules. Such violations are normally handled as an administrative matter. Mr. Manafort’s Ukraine lobbying “ended in 2014, two years before Mr. Manafort served in the Trump campaign,” Mr. Downing said.

Lawyers for Mr. Papadopoulos declined to comment.

While the indictment paints an unflattering picture of the man Mr. Trump tapped to run his campaign, the allegations long predate his involvement in the presidential race. Mr. Trump seized on that fact, declaring on Twitter that “there is NO COLLUSION!”

But as Mr. Trump typed out that message, Mr. Mueller’s team was unsealing documents related to Mr. Papadopoulos that directly undermined the president’s claim.

Mr. Trump called Mr. Papadopoulos an “excellent guy” when he announced his foreign policy team in March 2016.

On Monday, however, White House officials described him as someone who played an insignificant role in the campaign.

“Look, this individual was a member of a volunteer advisory council that met one time over the course of a year,” said Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary. “I’m not here to speak on behalf of the thousands of people that may have volunteered on the campaign.”

In March 2016, while traveling in Italy, Mr. Papadopoulos met a London-based professor of diplomacy who has deep ties to the Russian government. The professor took interest in Mr. Papadopoulos “because of his status with the campaign,” court documents said. The professor is Joseph Mifsud, according to a Senate aide familiar with emails in which Mr. Mifsud is mentioned. Two Senate committees are conducting Russia inquiries of their own, and investigators have been poring over thousands of emails produced by the Trump campaign.

Mr. Mifsud introduced Mr. Papadopoulos to others, including someone with ties to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a woman who he believed was a relative of Mr. Putin. Mr. Papadopoulos repeatedly tried to arrange a meeting between the Trump campaign and Russian government officials, court records show.

“We are all very excited by the possibility of a good relationship with Mr. Trump,” the woman, who was not identified, told Mr. Papadopoulos in an email. She was not actually a relative of Mr. Putin, according to court documents.

Campaign officials knew that Mr. Papadopoulos was developing contacts in Russia, court documents show.

He repeatedly tried to arrange a formal meeting for Mr. Trump in Russia. Among those in the campaign who knew about the contacts was Sam Clovis, who helped supervise the foreign-policy team, according to a former campaign aide. Mr. Clovis could not be reached for comment.

Ultimately, senior campaign officials said that Mr. Trump should not make the trip and leave it to “someone low level in the campaign so as not to send any signal,” according to an email cited in court papers. No campaign official made a formal trip to Russia.

When F.B.I. agents approached Mr. Papadopoulos on Jan. 27, he lied about his Russian contacts, according to court documents. That day, Mr. Trump invited the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to dinner at the White House and asked him to pledge loyalty, according to notes Mr. Comey took at the time.

As the F.B.I. scrutiny continued, Mr. Papadopoulos changed his phone number and deleted his Facebook account, which he had used to communicate with the Russians. The F.B.I. has obtained emails, text messages, and the transcript of chats on Facebook and Skype records as part of its investigation.

F.B.I. agents quietly arrested Mr. Papadopoulos at Dulles International Airport outside Washington on July 27, a day after agents raided Mr. Manafort’s Virginia home. The Justice Department disclosed on Monday that Mr. Manafort had withheld evidence from Mr. Mueller that was discovered during that raid.

With the charges against Mr. Manafort, Mr. Mueller has taken a broad view of his mandate. He was tapped to investigate Russian election meddling, whether anyone around Mr. Trump was involved and other crimes that followed from that investigation. The charges against Mr. Manafort do not directly relate to Mr. Trump or the campaign. Mr. Manafort had been under investigation in New York and Virginia until Mr. Mueller was appointed and assumed control.

The special counsel has struck an aggressive posture in the case, and Monday’s charges were no exception. The Justice Department often invites lawyers to meet and discuss potential indictments. It is both an opportunity for lawyers to argue for leniency, and for prosecutors to spot potential weaknesses in their case.

But on Friday night, people close to Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates and lawyers involved in the investigation said they had received no indication that an indictment against them was imminent.
