Sometimes I think about how wild the workplace gossip at the ISB must be just, like, in general? Because sure, they’re ISB, but they’re human. You know they’re gossiping.

You know those immaculate white-gray halls have heard their fair share about who’s done what for whom to earn which promotion, and who’s having an affair, and who Partagaz’s favorites are even though they really don’t deserve it but I do and here’s why, and who goes out for drinks a little too frequently after work, and who has a stim pill problem. They’re being Imperial-uptight about it and everyone pretends it’s not happening because it’s not professional, but they are gossiping. You can’t sit around a table of people with whom you’re in direct, cutthroat competition every single day, suspicion boiling in every cold gaze, and not.

#syril x dedra #andor #syril karn #dedra meero #star wars #(I’m tagging this weird because I’m trying to get to the people who think about this as much as I do lmao)#but like #I imagine the attendants bear the brunt of this #you know Blevin got back from that meeting with Dedra and Partagaz and just *seethed*#and then the attendants gossip about their supervisors too #the worse they treat them the nastier the rumors are #I imagine Heert doesn’t partake in this initially #but I also imagine he won’t be overly thrilled by Dedra’s closeness with Syril because it threatens him #I just #the ISB fascinates me #the Empire does so much to strip humanity from the people it employs but it can be so sincerely human #like Dedra’s expression when she ‘fails’#or Blevin’s obvious anger when he loses the Morlana sector #for all the ‘we are cogs in a machine’ they do still show signs of inner life and humanity
