i have many internal classifications for friends; if i like you, you will increasingly acquire titles inside my head. one of the most illustrious of these, a position which has existed for years now, is a seat on the lillian "inner council," which theoretically has the power to vote to make any decision involving lillian affairs. its rulings are binding on me, and i cannot overrule them

however, this sort of ruling has never happened, mostly bc no one knows the council exists, and so no one has ever figured out who's on it to reach quorum. atm there are ten seats (this number has varied), but five votes are sufficient for a binding resolution because two seats—my siblings—are of a special kind because they do not meet with any other members almost ever. what is funny about this, though, is that of the eight conventional seats, six council-members have ended up with fedi accounts. so in theory a binding resolution on lillian affairs could be voted on through a fedi post

(i apologize if decorating you ppl like little general zhukovs in my head is bizarre. it is out of love)
