The Jedi Order mainly being an institution about teaching makes me sad that we never see more "Jedi classes" outside of the popular ones like martial arts, healthcare and Force wackery.

Alongside basic language and science education etc there have to be at least some trade and college courses on offer, right? The Jedi need a bunch of their own people with law degrees. Proper pedagogy studies for future crèchemasters. Cooks. Managers. All types of engineers. Electricians. Accountants. Researchers. How many Jedi hold a doctorate or professorate? Because I think a large number of them do. Their databanks are filled with millennia of dissertations. You can still find Yoda's articles from 500 years ago and cite them in your history research paper.

The Order just having its own micro-economy going on and every member getting their own regular job education next to all the lightsaber swinging adventures... pls

#like idk... mace actually has a phd in chemistry #what if yoda passed the fucking coruscant bar exam 700 years ago and now is a veritable law historian for the post-ruusan era #LIKE!!! #comedy potential but also so cool #it would also make the war so much more jarring bc now the padawans simply don't get to have a job that isn't “soldier“ #imagine being in the middle of ur nice little social science major as a 20-smth padawan and then the war starts #and your courses are spontaneously switched to officer candidate school type shit #:/

katie your lawyer au tags have me on my knees I never thought guys in suits doing stuff would seem interesting but wow…wow. your mind

Thank u Anon this AU is incredibly indulgent for me.......... ok time 4 more world-building.

I think @heynhay's original idea of Keith & Lance working together at the same firm is best. For both plot reasons but also for my own morale LOL

So everyone works at a fairly large private firm that splits its practice and has some of its associates doing profit-driven law (i.e. corporate or finance) which subsidizes the public interest/service work that the other associates do.

The firm is like "Altea & Daibazaal LLP" or something. Yes I am implying that the firm was started by Alfor and Zarkon. Yes I am implying that Allura and Lotor are nepo babies.

I know I originally said that Keith and Lance were law school rivals but I've changed my mind... (RIP to the law school rivalry dynamics

Instead I'm making it so that Keith and Lance are the same age but Lance has been practicing longer because he went straight into law school after college. Whereas Keith started working after college and got like a Master's degree in Social Work or something before deciding on law school at 26. (I just think Keith is the kind of person who goes to law school later in life.)

Okay onto the specific Klance dynamics... Keith and Lance are both pushing 30 and are also literally lawyers so they are professional and serious about their work... But there is wiggle room for them to still be rivals :p

Lance and Keith are both junior associates at the firm. Lance has seniority because he's been at the firm longer but he's still a year or so away from formally becoming a senior associate.

Lance really, REALLY wants to make partner and he sees Keith as his biggest threat/rival because Keith is Shiro's little brother, and Shiro recently made partner at the firm, so Lance thinks Keith might be a nepo hire. Also some of the senior associates recently left the firm so now Lance is stuck showing Keith the ropes and he's lowkey super bitter about it.

Basically TLDR Lance starts off Not Liking Keith at all for various real or imagined reasons and begins a work rivalry with him. Keith doesn't actually GAF about making partner because he's only planning on working at the firm for a few years to help pay off his student loans, but Lance doesn't know that. However, Keith is a naturally very competitive person, and he also likes having Lance's attention, so Keith immediately goes all in on the rivalry.

Lance, internally: "This Fucking Guy."

Keith, internally: "I am so good at flirting."

The first few months are rough between them. However both are also incredibly productive in their work.

The romcom part of the AU kicks in once the two of them have to start working together on a huge high stakes civil case and they're both like wow.... *twirls hair* he's so competent.............. <3

Anyway misc. things:

TBH I have no idea what kind of law Keith and Lance might private practice... I'm also really torn on what Shiro, Allura, and Hunk would practice hdjsksdhedf

Pidge is hired on a fellowship for either environmental law or data security/privacy law.

Coran does employment law.

Keith went into law school planning on going into public interest/not-for-profit legal aid and swore he would never, ever do corporate law but then he saw his student loans and was like. Hm. Okay maybe some Biglaw is okay. And that's how he ended up at the firm.

Keith:

#lawyer au #voltron #klance #keith #lance #otp: we are a good team #ask #anonymous #katiecanons #the thing is is that like. i want to write them as public interest lawyers soooo bad because that's what i plan on doing. #but the reality is that public interest work is incredibly stressful and depressing and time-consuming #and i genuinely cannot imagine klance having the time/energy to start a relationship if they were both doing civil legal aid #like ngl. i am feeling very discouraged after my first month of law school. i feel very disillusioned by the whole process and the field. #hopefully it's just because i'm stressed and burned out right now and things will become more manageable soon #anyway sorry for not elaborating more on the plot of the au but i have SO much reading left to do

I don’t know what exactly possessed me to make a Garlean Republic-era poster of Solus with a bit of storytelling irony (I.E Atticus and Regant’s soul crystal lol), but here we are anyways.

#ffxiv #concept #fan art #illustration #solus zos galvus #emet selch #funny machine maker man #that moment when your boss makes you a reaper #and then immediately starts campaigning against reapers #and then bm’s the reapers by naming his efficient bipedal tanks after them #dramatic sassy bastard emet lives in my head rent free v-v #and that also means my own funny guy is there with him v_v #nothing can pass through Atticus’ office without a coffee stain ending up on it too #it’s simply just his little curse #solus just mentally makes note that it’s basically atti’s official seal #… #I just remembered I still need to draw the chaos of solus pushing Atticus through essentially law school

[ID: A page of digital illustrations of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth from Ace Attorney. All the drawings are sketchy and roughly coloured. On the left Phoenix looks to the right with a sceptical expression and a thought bubble next to him reads "what in the shit..." In the middle of the page small doodles of Edgeworth and Phoenix are facing each other, Edgeworth says "That autopsy report is out of date!" and Phoenix looks at him with a tired expression. An arrow points from the small doodle of Phoenix to a larger drawing of him with the same tired and irritated expression. A thought bubble next to him reads "murder is okay, actually". On the right Edgeworth smiles, looking smug. Text above him reads "smug bitch who I hate". In the lower left and right hand corners of the page "Hold it!" and "Objection!" are written, imitating the font from the game. End description.]

So I'm playing the silly lawyer game for the first time

#ace attorney #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #my art #i know with time i'll come to love edgeworth because that seems to have happened to everyone else to ever play these games #but right now i wanna fist fight him #also i didn't realise how young phoenix wright was until i started playing the game #my poor guy's barely out of law school and yet he keeps having to take on incredibly convoluted and high stakes cases

YOU — “Did you become a gardener because of your grandmother?”

THE GARDENER — She looks taken aback by your question. “I’m sorry?”

YOU — “Your grandmother who taught you about the nutrients in the snow.”

THE GARDENER — “I got that part, thanks. I just…” She shakes her head with a quiet breath.

EMPATHY — She just thought it was a strange question for a cop to ask.

THE GARDENER — “Yes, it was because of her.” Her expression flickers just slightly. “*For* her…”

DRAMA — There’s more to this cute grandma story, sire.

AUTHORITY — Who cares about her grandma? Tell her to cut the bullshit and stop wasting your time already!

“Cool. Sorry, I don’t know why I asked you that. I actually don’t care that much.”

“Okay, let’s cut the bullshit. Are you really a gardener?”

“You sound sad.”

THE GARDENER — “Do I?” She smiles shyly. “Sorry. I was getting nostalgic.”

DRAMA — She’s laying it on a little thick, but she isn’t lying. You touched a nerve.

YOU — “Was she a gardener, too?”

THE GARDENER — “…She wanted to be,” she says, her voice measured. “But we rarely end up where we want to be, wouldn’t you say?”

INLAND EMPIRE — Yes. You would. You don’t even remember where or who you hoped to be, but it can’t have been anything like *this.* No one would ever want to be you.

“Yeah. You’re right. I mean, look at *me.* I hope I didn’t end up like this intentionally. That would be pretty weird.”

“Hey, it’s never too late to give it a shot.”

THE GARDENER — “I mean, it is for her,” she says drily. “She’s dead.”

EMPATHY — Oh.

YOU — “Oh.”

THE GARDENER — “Why are you asking so many questions about my grandmother, anyway? I can assure you she didn’t put that body in the tree. On account of being dead.”

“You never can tell. She could have faked her death. I have to explore every possibility. I’m told that’s what detectives do. And also that I’m a detective.”

“Okay, you got me, I don’t actually care about your grandma. I care about why you’re spying on us.”

“Just curious. It sounds like she meant a lot to you.”

THE GARDENER — Her expression flickers again, almost imperceptibly.

COMPOSURE — She’s trained herself well to keep a straight face. Strange for a gardener.

THE GARDENER — “…She still does,” she admits quietly. “She gave up her home and her garden to take care of me. And then worked herself to death, quite literally.”

EMPATHY — There’s bitterness in her voice, but not toward her grandmother. More likely toward the job that wore her down to nothing.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY — Without the speed and the nicotine and the booze to smooth out all those harsh edges, you would have been worn down to nothing by now, too.

“That’s the economy for you. She should have worked on her hustle.”

“I totally understand. Being a cop is really hard.”

“Well, at least *you* ended up where you wanted to be. I’m sure she’d be glad that you became a gardener.”

THE GARDENER — Slowly, like the snow on the breeze, her gaze falls from you to her gloved hands. Her face is still as stone.

“Yes,” she says hollowly. “She would.”

EMPATHY — And that’s what makes it all so much harder.

#disco elysium #harry du bois #elizabeth beaufort #requests #wow this one was a toughie since harry and lizzy don’t rlly have a rapport #and his interactions w her as the gardener are p limited #it took me a while to think of smth but then i remembered her line abt her grandma and the gears started turning… #ig the headcanon™️ here is that lizzy ended up being raised by her grandmother after smth happened to her parents #and she had to sell her house w her garden to afford a good education for lizzy #worked too hard and too long to have the time or energy to start a new one #and probably wouldn’t have been able to anyway if they lived in an apartment #died when lizzy was young and then evrart took her under his wing #and she was passionate abt worker’s rights bc of what happened to her grandmother so she fit right in and was eager to go to law school #but even after all that… there’s still no garden for her 😔

(i mean good for scholarships but what does the school wants to have a sports team) #dont you have major leagues? #and im not even going to start about highschool #(actually yes) #i really dont undestrand how those clubs works #ap classes??? does that mean advanced classes?? #i need a manual of how all of these work #the education system is a lot diferent in my country #education system #tv shows #books #movies #movieblr #bookblr #usa
