Isn't it good for your dynasty to have longer-lived sons?

>>52790263
It would lead to a long period of stagnation... assuming a preference for human suitors, we'd see numerous "Prince Phillip" situations, where the queen has a husband-consort to whom she never grants true authority over the people. Depending on the kind of elf, she could just be the eternal queen over her kingdom.

>>52790419
That's what he said.....

>>52790475
thats is more or less irrelevant as long as you have a clear and stable line of succession. Filthy half breeds would have a more then questionable claim on the throne and would there for lead to infighting and give opporunitsts a reasoning to reach for the crown at every opportunity. So yeah rather have 8 sons die before they turn 30 then a single half breed on the throne.

>>52790263
I dunno, +2 WIS is something a lot of leaders could do with.

Yeah, a catgirl or foxgirl queen.

A very young one.

>>52790263
What's so bad about Humans being ruled over by an Elf? Elves live for hundreds of years, are more capable learners then men and are not foolishly ignorant like men. Elven supremacy is only natural and the best path for all races.

The real problem is having an increasingly milfy dowager a few generations down the line constantly agitating for more elvish influence and at least one half-elven king who is raised more by her than by his father. Elvish sympathizers must be rooted out.

Either this is an extraordinary case of doublethink, or you're just a particularly terrible liar.

People will always look out for themselves and their own first. Having someone whose loyalties lie with others rule over you is a recipe for getting fucked. Non-humans can never be trusted to look out for humanity.

I would think this would lead to the greatest stability for a nation. However that stability could also lead to stagnation as the ruler could be less inclined to accept change and revolution that would propel the nation forward. A good example would be the Polish and their cavalry charge against German tanks in WW2.

>>52790263
Every country wants two things: stable long-term internal policy and stable international partners. If a human nation had a competent ruler who was expected to live three or more centuries that would be a *good* thing.

Which ones? Barenziah is a slut that caused all kinds of shit because she fell for a stupid ass bars class lvl 1 dude and that high elf bitch from eso fucks cats too I'm pretty sure. Anyone else?
Alessia kind was of degenerate as well, she fucked a Minotaur and got a Minotaur kid. Why do all Queens in tamriel suck?

Mythologically speaking, elves were often associated with being spouses of royality, and that lines of royals were half-elfin to account for beauty, longevity, and a semi-divine embodiment.

In other tales great kings were reincarnated after death into elves.

Elf hate meme is really only in the /tg/ community and it's a rather shallow and boring one.

>>52792447

I would think an elven king would be far more politically destabilizing than a queen, assuming the queen's duty is basically just to pump out babies.

>>52793312

A Fair Folk Queen.

>>52793334

Is that really THAT different from the next French king being say, half-Austrian? Because Marie was not French, she was the daughter of the queen of Austria.

>>52793351
yes, yes it is, not to mention that you bring up a king that ended up executed as an example.

The issue most likely would be that even if the king lasts long enough to die of old age, you've got basically 900 more years of his wife around, assuming her son isn't in charge.

>>52793383

Yeah but him being executed had nothing to do with her lineage. The people celebrated when her son was born.

In his defense, Louis XVI never wanted to be a king, he wanted to be a blacksmith. He would hide away in the forge he had built at Versailles that he would rarely even govern, leaving Marie in charge of the country.

As a result he wasn't a very good king, and his marriage suffered as well, as he often would come back home with soot-covered hands and not wash them before touching the furniture.

Having an elf queen would mean the king could continue producing heirs well into his old age because she'll never hit menopause in his lifetime.
And her tits will stay firm and perky.

It's a total win. For the king.
The peasants will whine and bitch, just like the peasantry in this thread is whining and bitching and making up slippery-slope worst-case scenarios.
But real nobles know that peasants are nothing to be afraid of. Just ask Nicholas II!

Okay, I was really torn between posting Cate as either Elizabeth (awesome) or Galadriel (cool), and this is funny and relevant because she was both an elven queen AND potrayed a rather famous human monarch.

Okay, yeah. Here she is. If you haven't seen her as Elizabeth, she's awesome. Elizabeth I was about as "based" (as /pol/ says it) as a monarch can get, and she did it without a penis.

They made two movies with her performing the same character. Watch it just to see how she handles all the assassins coming after her. You'll forget all about elves, trust me. Or maybe you won't. I dunno.

BUT IT MAKES YOU THINK about what someone who is hundreds of years old would do sitting on the same chair and managing generations of humans. She'd have the chair upholstered, is what I'm sayin.

>>52797955
I don't see why it would lead to stagnation. Queen Victoria was one of the longest ruling monarchs, and during her period British Empire expanded and wielded great power, while technology progressed in leaps and bounds. In fact stability fosters development and frees resources to be put in ventures and research.

This sound like you are thinking of a situation of an elf ruling over ALL mankind, which is silly. Throughout history humanity have always beend divided.

Who cares if among the 50 city-states and petty kingdoms in the continent one of them is ruled by an elf? We've had worse rules in real life. If she's shit at ruling her shitty country will be eaten by some other country soon enough.

Most people don't contradict themselves in the very next sentence they write.

>B-But Louis a good boy, he dindu nuffin
Other than blocking tax reforms and proposals to create a National Guard in response to the threats from the Duke of Brunswick who wanted to crush the Revolution to its pre-Bastille state. And then there's the combination of the Armoire de Fer and the Flight to Varennes. Louis wasn't dragged out to the streets and randomly killed for being rich like the reds did to the Romanovs. He was (due to his intervention in the American War of Independence) actually a highly popular king who actually grew more popular after 1789, not less. He was killed after a trial before the Assemblée Nationale, where he was assigned a defense lawyer and with clear and solid evidence found guilty of high treason. But please, go ahead and explain why commoners should be killed for treason but kings should not.

>B-But inviting an army to invade your own country isn't treason!
Guillotine yourself.

>Muh Terror tho, muh public executions tho
I will start of by saying that, while inherrently a good idea, the Terror could've been handled better (only in as far as I think the trials could've been more fair and substantiated), and that it's horrible that it devolved into outright paranoia. But there was good cause for it: the English Letters combined with uprisings that were confirmed to have been sponsored by the Coalition (Vendée, Toulon, Lyon) confirmed that there were enemies on the inside working with enemies on the outside. Remember how two paragraphs ago we agreed that the death penalty is appropriate for high treason? Again, it was in its execution a mistake but an understandable one (especially when you consider the White Terror that followed it, which for some reason nobody ever talks about).

It's not a rebellion if a constitution has been passed acknowledging the status quo as legitimate. The Bastille was stormed in 1789, "the citizen Louis Capet" was executed in 1793. Believe it or not, but some things happened in the four years between those events.

Turians aren't more than cursorily like the Romans as their society is a Meritocratic Military Democracy, there is no direct analogue to that on Earth or in it's history that I'm aware of, but I could be wrong there.
Salarians are an extremely Matriarchal society with a huge military focus towards infiltration and sabotage, again no direct earth analogue.
Krogan aren't all as aggressive or self destructive as they seem but this one fits.
Rachni are a literal Hive-Mind so this also fits if a bit of an over simplification.
Volus are not space jews, they're space bussinessmen and merchants, nothing else correlates to being jews, as we don't see many doctors and their society essentially makes merchants dual-class as lawyers because all political and societal structures trade hands in literal trades Jews never did that shit and no society, that I know of, on earth ever did either.

Well, the closest you get is a Military Republic, which is what they are.

>>52811038
Which even then isn't really democratic, it's statocracy. The concept of a system based on voting and consensus of all is antithetical to things running smoothly in a military, because the soldiers could always just all vote to not go to war, and that could be bad.

>>52811088
They are explicitly democratic, though not directly, thats the Asari, on a planetary level, I believe the codex or Garrus mention that, but you have to go through the military to become a citizen, and thus be able to vote, and service is mandatory.

>Which even then isn't really democratic, it's statocracy.
I guess it could technically be done if you follow the Roman Republican model, where (active) citizenship is generally reserved for those who have served, and entering political life requires military experience as well. Remove the Patrician-Plebeian divide if you really want to and voila: military democracy. Include a non-corrupt version of the Cursus Honorium for that dash of meritocracy.

>As a result he wasn't a very good king, and his marriage suffered as well, as he often would come back home with soot-covered hands and not wash them before touching the furniture.

There's something intensely sad about that. He was just a guy who wanted nothing more than to be a craftsman, wiling away the hours in his forge, improving, learning, and mastering.

He never wanted to be King. He didn't want power, he clearly didn't know what to do with it. He never wanted to marry an Austrian Princess and beget a prince.

All he wanted was to work. To forge, to hammer, and to shape metal.

Of course by shirking his duties and focusing only on his passion, he fomented a revolution that ended with his death.

>>52795836

Let's be fair here. It was Kaiser Wilhelm being a land hungry dick and having no clue how to navigate Otto Von Bismark's complex web of treaties and alliances that largely led to WWI. Also he thought he could take over France through Belgium before the Russians came, not realizing how warfare had changed due to rapidly developing technologies.

>>52820066
Those are stereotypes of the French, regardless of their truth. The Asari would fit better than anybody except french people themselves.

>>52820045
>If you want to lay WW1 at the feet of any one man, blame Conrad von Hötzendorf.
Who wouldn't have done anything (or at least gained the support of the Austrian emperor to do anything) if not for Germany's carte blanche support of Austria.
>B-But muh allies tho
Key word: carte blanche. This is why Italy remained out of the war: the Triple Alliance wasn't carte blanche, it was a defensive anti-France agreement. The Italians didn't so much switch sides as they rightfully realized that by declaring war on France, Germany had made the alliance null and void.

I'm glad you asked! Said constitution only gained force of law after being *accepted* by the monarch, albeit after long negotiations. The monarch had bound himself to that constitution. Even if you for some reason consider the Bastille storming illegitimate, then Louis XVI is -at the very least- an oathbreaker.

The British monarchy is mostly German. So were the Romanovs after Catherine the Great, many of whom didn't even speak Russian. Many countries are ruled by leaders born or raised somewhere else. And many leaders take a foreign bride.

Having an immortal king helped save England when it was invaded by rampaging space zombies.

So what you're saying is that he never wanted to be king, he wanted to just work in the forge, and he inherited all of his father's shitty problems when he inherited his station.

>>52831505
>>52836063

I'm not saying he didn't fuck up, but he's not the one who started the resentment towards the monarchy. Like >>52808385 said, he was a very popular king himself before he made a major fuckup and basically convinced the revolutionaries that no king is worth it.

>>52823893

See, that's where he fucked up. He should've snuck in a Fundamental Laws clause like Nicholas II of Russia did which said the czar could at any time he wanted override any decision the Duma made.

>>52819846

Reading about kinks and you start to feel like it's a really miserable existence most of the time.

Louis the sun king went from a fun-loving guy who could let his hair down and banter with the ladies to having to do the most absurd poised and artificial environment that was the stereotype of french aristocracy times 24 because it would keep the nobles from making war with eachother if they had to spend all their time and money at Versailles (as any man who wasn't part of the court was invisible). The first romanov cried and wanted to hide and become a monk. Peter preferred being with his rough and tumble boys and I can quote a case where he literally had a mental breakdown trying to talk with these high society Austrian ladies and admitting bluntly to them when they asked what he liked to do "I LIEK CANNONS AND WOODWORKING" and showing them his big calloused hands. It's pretty much the 17th-18th century equivalent of WASP high society girls asking you what you like to do and going "I liek the warhammer and painting my miniatures". Mary Queen of Scots too - poor girl with a fragile upbringing who just wants to be faithful and pious.

I think the reason why it's so miserable is more because of the people you're surrounded by in that royal capacity. The good get eaten alive sooner or later, the ones who survive and thrive in the courtly atmosphere are the bad and evil. My favorite metaphor to describe it is how you have the lion's den inhabited by jackals.


>>52820090

There's no stereotype of french diplomatic openness. The stereotype of being blunt, candid and stupid in diplomacy is the United States. Britain is perfidious, America is stupid, the french are the diplomatic experts able to run circles around you. That's the stereotype.
