Like Mand’alor Din Djarin who is completely politically incompetent is very funny and good but what about Mand’alor Din Djarin who just comes out of nowhere and absolutely slaughters (metaphorical) these career politicians across the negotiating table bc he has 20 years of experience cutting contracts with the worst and most unbearable people in the galaxy. And he had to figure out ways to say I Am Not Fucking Doing That without ever technically breaking his code of honor by violating his contract or whatever.
#bo katan walking into the first meeting expecting to have to support him and prop him up#and then just being fucking floored#when he hammers out this trade deal with insanely good payoff and almost no concessions#and secures like two new treaties in the process and she didn’t have to say a damn word#like i think din’s abilities as a very cunning and capable negotiator and diplomat#get kind of downplayed because he’s PAINFULLY antisocial and laconic#but he’s manipulative and people savvy as hell#he just isn’t talking bc he doesn’t want to talk to you. sorry lol#din djarin#the mandalorian#boba fett#book of boba fett#mandalorian hcs#mine#sw#bounty hunters

Gil-galad Variations, featuring all the gil galad theories i've encountered.
[Most recent version: LINK]
#silm#silmarillion#gil galad#gil galad son of plothole#<- best tag lol#personally i like the maglor theory#son of lalwen is probably my second favorite?#also that would make him the 16th known finwean grandkid#the aegnor/andreth peredhel variant is interesting#also i feel like when everyone meets him in valinor/the halls finrod would just look at aegnor like :/#finrod: 'if you were just going to ignroe my whole speech you could have at least told me so i could get birthday gifts for the kid!'#the russingon one looks very much like nerdanel lol#both the maedhros ones' hair is *just* dark enough to not cause a diplomatic incident#the elured/elurin one is really funny#like. hes 0% noldor not even related to finwe at all. like. theyre descended from different cuvienen families. they literally are 0% relate#he was raised by cirdan who is also 0% noldor#but he is somehow a better king of the noldor than like 90% of the previous ones#even funnier if hes Just A Guy#did they accidentally switch the real finwean baby? did they just grab a random kid and go 'oh well close enough'? who knows?#i think princess-faelivrin has a FAQ about the leading version of fin-galad (gil galad being finduilas)

I love how aai establishes that miles edgeworth is spending all his free time like, defeating internationally wanted criminal masterminds in a battle of wits. and then he goes to court and his opponent is phoenix wright who at any given time has a handful of evidence he picked up off the ground and a concussion. and phoenix wins
#ace attorney#don't want to imply that miles edgeworth is cool here (he is not)#however every day of his life he meets the leader of a crime ring who has killed several people and somehow also has diplomatic immunity#and destroys them with facts and logic#aai#mine

Cursed headcanon: the Kiramman family originates from the Navori province of Ionia.
Growing up, Caitlyn is slightly traumatized from constantly hearing Cassandra talk about this distant cousin she has overseas who is such a talented dancer and so independent and did you know she is already leading a revolution at the age of fourteen and oh by the way she is also gay and I am not comparing you two or anything but honestly Caitlyn darling you could try a little harder-
#arcane#league of legends#caitlyn kiramman#cassandra kiramman#xan irelia#shitpost#years later Caitlyn finally visits Ionia on a diplomatic trip#and gets to meet this mystical cousin that she now has a healthy amount of fear for#what she finds is a traumatized twenty-year-old lesbian with terrible social graces who probably hasn't kissed anyone since she was twelve

WIP Wednesday
Hello everyone and welcome to another wip wednesday ❤️ I was tagged by @thequeenofthewinter and I am tagging:
@bougainvillea-and-saltwater @dirty-bosmer @captain-of-silvenar @lucien-lachance @pocket-vvardvark @theoneandonlysemla
@firefly-factory @ladytanithia @sulphuricgrin @changelingsandothernonsense @umbracirrus @moriche
@hircines-hunter @scholarlyhermit
So I have been encouraged by some lovely friends (you know who you are ❤️) to explore a Modern AU Theomar as spies. Have no idea if this will end up on ao3 as life is in a strange place right now but I've been playing around with how to incorporate events of Skyrim into a modern context. But this snippet is mostly them flirting at the bar 😛 Under the cut because suggestive a button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up whore ass behaviour
“Can I get a between the sheets, with Colovian brandy if you have it?”
“I’m afraid we’ve only got Cyrodiliic brandy and Geef.” They have Geef but not Colovian? Puzzled as to how the brandy from Morrowind is more common here, she orders the closest of the two.
“I’ll take the Cyrodilic.” As her suspicions were correct, the bar is almost empty save for a figure on the other end, it takes no time for her drink to appear. “Thank you.”
The citrus of the orange liquor is delicious and burn from the brandy is familiar, thoughts of having five or six more tempt her; nursing a hangover at work was not the worst. That too was familiar, once she had even given a briefing to the Director after an attempt to empty the city’s sujamma supply. Wretched headache but she was good at her job. If not for the fact there was a meeting scheduled for first thing in the morning tomorrow, a meeting to establish the collaboration with those Altmeri Dominion diplomats, Theodora would have thrown her uncharacteristic caution to the wind. But tomorrow required everyone to be at their most professional to be thrown into the den of vipers, as her colleague Dram put it. Dramatic as always. Yet, she harboured a few concerns of her own. An odd way to describe them as even she knew they were not here in the spirit of diplomacy, that was evident based on her prior interactions with the Thalmor in Cyrodiil. Sarce they were, but it was obvious they had a need to put their golden hands over everything. The war hadn’t stopped, it just became hidden.
As she finishes the drink, the last of the liquid is not yet swallowed when another is brought to her.
“From the elf over there.” Too focused on drinking and thoughts of work, the agent forgot such a basic skill in her line of work: observation. Bringing the figure from her periphery to the centre of her vision, her concerns about the Altmer she’ll meet tomorrow are exchanged with intrigue at the one looking at her. Looking at his strong jawline and thinking about how satisfying it would be to grip his black tie, it doesn’t matter that he has a buzzcut. Different in very many ways he was. Offering him a smile and downing the drink, she approaches the stool beside him, sitting as she starts the conversation.
“What are you drinking?” It’s almost unfortunate how handsome he is, now close enough to see the details on his face. Only somewhat knowledgeable on guessing a mer’s age, she can tell his over one hundred but beyond that she’s uncertain. Not that it matters. The slight chuckle he does is attractive, as is his voice.
“Supposedly a Fine Elven Wine.” Very fitting she thinks. “Yet it is neither fine nor a wine, certainly not Elven.” Taking the glass from his hands, swirling it for a moment before she sips. Gagging at the taste. The mer laughs harder now.
“Gods, that is disgusting. Here, let me get you something better.” Once again flagging down the bartender, she orders him a Collequiva, a fancy imperial wine. Watching as he has a taste, it seems it is satisfactory.
“Hmm, better than I expected. Thank you…” Ah names, might be good to do that now.
“Theodora” she says.
“Ondolemar.”
Introductions out of the way, names all that needed to be exchanged; personal details kept under wraps due both to the secrecy of her work and her desire for privacy. Any other information he would need could be figured out after. In the event she found herself in his lap she could let him know what treatment she expects; deciding to start leading them there, she asks him a question.
“Do you often buy human women drinks from across the bar?” His people in particular frowned upon such relations, would be good to gauge where his thoughts on the matter lied.
“Would you believe I do not?”
“I would actually.” Why did he then…
“You look too exquisite to sit alone at the bar, I have a feeling that this was not part of your original evening plans.” A bit taken aback but such a compliment as she was used to very different words from men, but the rest of his response is curious. It was a leap in logic to assume that off of what she is wearing alone, but it was correct. How did he know that?
“And what would you know of my plans? Maybe I wanted to get dressed up just to sit at the Winking Skeevar?” He dryly chuckles, drinking more of her recommendation.
“Well then. I would say there are better bars to do that at. This one leaves much to be desired.”
“Then why are you here?” She says.
“My residence is nearby, it is convenient.” A reasonable enough answer, she had done many things because it was convenient at the time, many men fell into this category. Not the best but around. Good enough for the job that was pleasing her. Perhaps her eyes should not have lingered on his forearms, the neatly rolled fabric that was tight around the middle of them. Not lingering now, they trail up and over his torso as she imagines ripping the white button up off, let the buttons scatter and litter the floor.
Returning to his initial comment on her appearance, she questions the word he used.
“So I look exquisite?” A straightforward start, she’s curious where he’ll go with it.
“You do, that is a lovely dress.” A straightforward answer, safe. It’s too safe so she amps things up a bit with a little test to figure out what kind of guy he is.
“Hmm, well I’ve been told before by men that it does not leave much to the imagination.”
“Then they do not have a very good imagination, now do they?” Another sip, more than a sip, a full mouthful and then he continues. “A simple man imagines merely the body, they neglect to think all which you can do with it.” Her widened eyes have him mistaken that he overstepped in his words, something which could not be further from the truth as she is imagining all the things she’d like to do with him. “I may have already had too much to drink.”
“Oh I wouldn’t say that, Ondolemar.” Her hand reaches for his tie, tracing her hands along the complex knot securing it and enjoying the fact that although he is smirking, how he tenses does not go unnoticed. “I like a man who is forward.”
#wip wednesday#oc: theodora#modern au#theomar#theomar spy au#im just having a silly time#hehe girly complaining about having to meet dominion diplomats tomorrow#yeah meeting them tomorrow ;)#i sure hope this guy you're *totally not going to sleep with* sn't one of them#omg that would be so awkward to walk into the office and see him#haha there's election fraud

I do really love fics where it's clear that other than being skilled at combat and incredibly smart and obviously sosososo fucking good with money ningguang could also be like. Liyues next top model if she weren't the tianquan. Yelan wants her. Ganyu wants her. Keqing wants her. Yanfei wants her. All of her secretaries want her. Ningguang can't go two feet without finding a lesbian doing heart eyes. And she knows but she is also soso head over heels for known pirate king captain beidou of the crux who is admittedly very cool but also distinctly a criminal. Like women with these high-power government jobs are practically throwing themselves at her feet and she's like no. I do want the woman who killed the fucking sea monster. Only I can know how to file taxes. She has to have at least 1 million mora in government debt. And most importantly. I need someone who can save the pieces of my house that fell in the ocean.
#ningguang#beiguang#board certified my post#beidou#genshin impact#knights getting back from a diplomatic meeting and in the background lisa and sucrose are adding ningguangs most recent outfit to their tier#list. its the only situation in which sucrose has the confidence to actually talk to lisa. jean says you guys have to stop FOR REAL. mostly#because its inappropriate but also because youre wrong about the dress she wore two summers ago

varadeva are totally the type to have an absolutely savage child
and when their child roasts somebody, they'd be like

deva especially would eat that up, he'd be losing his shit in the corner,
but varadha's the one who'd remember he's a Dad™ and be like "alright now, stop that"
#Deva would be so proud lmAoOooo#and Varadha's like: “aight I'll handle this responsibly AFTER cracking tf up”#headcanon that varadha is the more diplomatic parent and would be the first choice for a parent teacher meeting#cause you KNOW Deva's an 'act-first-think-later' parent#salaar#varadeva#been a while since i had non-angst thoughts ooF

Omne really did traumatize the entire Enterprise crew.
#imagining the crew all coming up with increasingly contrived reasons to come be close to kirk#everyone cramming themselves into the turbolift whenever kirk has to go anywhere#really does also cement jim as a near mythological character#what must shore leave be like for the crew? like you meet up with some friends at starbase whatever and they’re telling you about#whatever diplomatic successes or near misses they had or weird first contacts#meanwhile the enterprise crew is like Our Captain Died and Came Back#star trek tos#spock#jim kirk#star trek novels#the fate of the phoenix#sondra marshak#myrna culbreath
