Just packaged up a couple more prints to send off before Christmas, and remembered I never posted on here about it folks!
I set up a new Print Shop, it's not for everyone as it's more about limited runs of really quality stuff rather than volume production, but check it out if you fancy!

unstoppable force (I don’t want the guy yelling about how I’m going to hell for being queer filming me) meets immovable object (generally thinking that making more social behaviors illegal/getting cops involved is a bad idea)
NEVER BEFORE HAVE I FELT MORE REPRESENTED BY A PICREW

Oh to be a little Sprat, running around and making cute noises, not a care in the system. That's where I'm at today, how's everyone else doing?
Is what it says • Millions of unique designs by independent artists. Find your thing.
I gave Sterling his birthday gift Sunday, so I guess now I can go ahead and post this! The boy loves blue jays and vaporwave, so he got a custom shirt.
And now you can have an awesome shirt! Or phone case! Or tote bag! Leggings! The sky’s the limit! Or, well, the inventory of RedBubble is the limit.
If anyone’s looking for other Art On Stuff, I have my TeePublic shop as well (which I really need to update)(honestly I need to think of some Filthy Ratman designs b/c I want stuff). And hey, apparently there’s a sale today!
Ok, so the premise is basically a social contact of some sort must exist for the Empire to function in its day to day. I mean, you wouldn’t go to work if your boss doesn’t gaurantee you a job and pay. A society where people can murder with impunity isn’t going to stay stable for very long if the people making it function (i.e. the workers not their bosses) can’t gaurantee they’re going to be alive by the end of the day.
But Sith murder all the time!
Yeah. Your ship with full compliment of crew isn’t going to go very far if you kill half of engineering. You will have no defenses if your bridge crew are dead. You won’t be able to dock in the Empire famously bureaucratic stations because you lightsaber’d the one person who knew the intricacies of their docking system.

I think this might make fallen Jedi a very dangerous element to both Sith and Imperials as they don’t have the cultural reference for appropriate interactions. I woudn’t be surprised if most - if not all - of the depections of Sith in Republic popular media is of the Edgelord McGee stereotype we all know and love. DS!Jaesa is an excellant example of Taking Things Too Far. As a result, I think it’s entirely probable that while Sith might delight in making Jedi fall to the Dark Side, once they’ve got one that ex-Jedi ends up confined with very little room to maneuver, until such time as they can be prooved to understand what their responsibilities within the Empire are. (For example, Broan/Lord Naught is so cloistered for a time because he is ex-Jedi, though Lord Vizloch does wonder how “ex” that really is.)
Humans form groups. Though this will be forever haunted by the spectre of Evolutionary Psychology, but we do better in groups. We can share the workload, people who are sick don’t need to starve, the pregnant get help with birth, kids can be raised, the species can continue. We need groups. Groups need agreements to function. One of the most basic of those is “please don’t stab me while I sleep”. The Golden Rule probably has a lot of caveats in the Empire, but I’ll be damned surprised if something of its kind doesn’t exist. Hell, a Kaas City quest in the game points out that random murder isn’t a good thing and has you deal with it. There’s going to be a certain level of hush-hush, plausible deniability and the like. The Empire isn’t free of corruption. Taking advantage of weakness is a key idea - this is probably why there’s so much bureaucracy, it would help to close loopholes and make exploitation more effort than it’s worth (unless you can outsource or hand wave it) - so that’s going to happen, but because something is happening doesn’t mean it ought to happen and because one or more people consider it just doesn’t mean the collective does. Is ought fallacy. Phallus-y.
Basically basic social contract bull. Social contracts don’t tend to get neatly written out. ‘cept consititutions of course. But those don’t cover minutiae, and minutiae is kinda what we you need that virtue system for - the everyday interactions that you can’t keep repeating the requirements of over and over. It just has to be taken for granted that you’ll have a job in the morning and a life by the time you get home. Moving against that is when you get a problem.
