Based on Shivon
Roy in
HBO's Succession. Shivnanigans are a
set of strategies and tactics that mix: fierce Tribalism, corporate power, carefully concealed white privilege, liberal
feminism, tricksterism, open power exertion, concern for the victim of sexual assault (see Ep
9 season 2), threats, sticks and/or carrots. Shivnanigans are always carried out in extremely upscale settings while wearing impeccably timely, and never gauche, well-fitting fashion. Its a mixture of friendship and threats and care and coarseness that is only ineffective against the most seasoned opponents.
