As a french person I need to add some context and rectification to this.
- France is a "laïque" country, it means that religion, whatever it is, is not welcome at school. If you come at school with a "jesus is my lord and savior" shirt, a kippa, a hijab or any obvious religious sign, you will need to change. It is one of the main points of our constitution.
- In universities, women can wear hijabs, I'm currently studying in France and I can attest that they can
- Burkini were banned and it caused quite the scandal in France. The justification is that as people from "occident" we see the dissimulation of a woman's body as something that can be an obligation by a man or a patriartcal society or religion. And for the government, there are other solution to cover your body that the burkini, which is officialy a religious coverage.
- Halal markets exists and there is also halal products sold in almost every supermarket, it will not be ban
- Mothers who wear veil can be around or in school without problem, I don't even see how it would be possible to prevent them to be near schools. In some place, or cities, almost every women wear some kind of veil, so...
- Everyone can choose the gender of their doctor for a consultation. The exception are places were there is only one doctor for several cities or emergencies. If you came giving birth at a hospital or bleeding , you will be attend to by whoever is there. Man or woman.
- To resume, religion is not something that should dictate, or even be a part of, you public life in France. It's almost against our constitution. And being veiled is seen as an extreme way of practicing Islam. Many muslim women aren’t. In the same way, catholics who show their religion in their public life or job can be judged too but it isn't shown by clothes so it's harder to pass a law against it.
Women who wear a simple veil or hijab aren’t bothered by the law (even if racism is always a problem), it's concern those who wear burkas, facial veils and burkini (who can be replace by a leggin and a long sleeve shirt and then there is no problem). Honestly is ther a non-muslim country where they can wear complete burkas without any skin or eyes visible ?
I don't say that islamophobia is not a problem in France, it is and it is a big problem. But laicity is a pillar for our country and it concerns every religions.
How did I not hear about France banning hijabs? What’s going on?
long story short, there’s legislation in the process of being passed that would
ban girls under 18 from wearing any form of religious head covering in public, and although it’s obviously aimed at muslim women, it would also affect other faith groups that practice similar forms of modest dress
ban islamic swimwear in schools and public (there is already a modest swimwear ban in place at public beaches, this just extends it)
ban mothers wearing hijab from entering schools or participating in school field trips or extra curriculars
ban the slaughter of halal poultry - the cheapest and most easily accessible form of meat protein for the muslim community
extend school hijab bans to universities
prevent muslim women from choosing healthcare providers based on gender (which many muslim women prefer to do, since many exams require removal of clothing, etc)
ban muslim parents from homeschooling
force halal markets to sell pork and alcohol or face closure
ban foreign flags at weddings
*RESOLVED* It was Rosalie enigma
Hi ! I search a fanfiction that I've read some months ago. It was a Rosalie x Bella, multi-chapters. Bella was neglicted by both her parents because she was born with a penis even is she's a girl. She was raised by a kind woman in the poor part of Phoenix. At the end she become best buddies with Aro I think. It was well written, fun but not totally a crack-fic.
I think it has been removed from AO3, if someone know what it is or even has it, it would be really appreciated 😁
When your fav drag queen start twilight and post about her journey 😅
if i ever misgender you or use slang (bro, man, gurl, dude) that makes you feel even slightly uncomfortable please tell me because your gender identity and comfort is more important than any word i may use to refer to you
Hi, I submit C and M for leters and Rosalie/Bella for pairing (I'm sure they can be as sweet as Carlisle and Esme ;) )
C. A moment’s respite / M. When it rains/snows/storms
Oh this reminds me of A Rose By Any Other Name on Ao3 which I ADORE!
The glass doors that made up the side of the southern wall were open, letting the noise of the rain fill the house. Rosalie liked the rain here. She liked to watch it fall outside, to watch the drops as they hit the ground, billions of them as far as the eye could see. It was cosy inside. She leaned back on the sofa, Bella in her arms. Her fingers wove through brown hair.
“I remember the first time I saw you in the rain,” she said quietly. Bella shifted between her thighs and rolled over so they were lying chest to chest, face to face.
“Oh?”
Rosalie smiled. “You smelled so good. I’d never smelled anyone so good.”
Bella buried her face into Rosalie’s neck and kissed her skin gently. “Do I smell bad now in comparison?”
“Not at all. Less edible, though.”
Bella laughed and sat up, straddling her wife. Her marble skin was still soft under Rosalie’s hands. “Less breakable, too. We could still catch up with the others if you want to play baseball.”
“I don’t. I want to stay here with you. We don’t get the house to ourselves often.”
“No, we don’t,” Bella agreed. She ran her hands up Rosalie’s chest and traced the skin at her throat. “It’s nice. I love our house, but this house feels like home, too.”
Rosalie’s muscles tensed at Bella’s light touch and her lips parted. “It does. I like that it smells like everyone.”
“Except me? Because I smell so different?” Bella teased.
She laughed lightly and ran her hands over Bella’s waist. Carefully, she pulled at her shirt and slipped her fingers under the fabric to trace her skin. “You still smell like you. Just... more vampiric.”
Bella’s breath hitched when Rosalie’s hand splayed on her back and traced down her spine. “Do I taste the same?”
“No. Of course not.”
“Bad change?”
Leaning up, Rosalie pressed a slow and deliberate kiss on her wife’s lips. “No,” she whispered against her mouth. “Better. I love your new taste. It makes me want you more than ever.”
“I thought you wanted nothing more than my blood?” Bella asked, her voice wavering when Rosalie’s tongue traced her jaw up to her ear.
Rosalie gently bit her lobe. “I’ll only admit this to you, but I was wrong. And I’m glad to be wrong. I want you more now as my wife than I ever did any other way.”
Laughter filled the room when Rosalie squeezed her sides and span Bella onto her back on the sofa. It echoed through the house and into the garden through the open doors.
“I still can’t believe it,” she breathed. Rosalie pushed up her shirt and pulled her body up to press it against her own as her kisses found their place at the sensitive spot just under her ear. Bella shivered. “Your wife. Your vampire bride.”
Rosalie’s kisses broke off as she laughed and pressed her forehead against Bella’s temple. “I’m trying to seduce you and you say that? That’s not half as alluring as you think it is!”
Bella wrapped her arms around Rosalie’s neck and laughed with her. “I’m sorry! Go on, keep trying to seduce me, I won’t say anything else. Keep going!” Rosalie’s kisses continued and Bella sighed. “Look at us. Mrs and Mrs Dracula.”
“For God’s sake, Bella!”
They both laughed loudly but when Rosalie tore Bella’s shirt free from her teeth much she didn’t feel much like joking anymore.
Pareil, j'ai revu cet épisode il y a quelques jours et I was shooked !
Alors
Je veux voir la destinée de Perceval. Et fissa. (Looking at you AA)
Imagine being one of five people in the universe who could get away with this.
i just found out merriam webster has a time traveler feature that tells you some of the words that were “born” the same year as you. it’s pretty neat yall should do this
The only way I can imagine a pregnant vampire is with a woman who was bitten during her pregnancy, leaving her with a dead foetus inside her. No possibility to expulse it or "absorb" it, no possibility that the foetus live with the venom circulating inside the blood circulation of its mother and in its own circulation ... so a mass of vampiric tissue in the form of a foetus non evolving in the uterus of a vampire. She would be in a state of perpetual pregnancy without the expectancy part. No hope to have a baby and no hope to forget that you could have a baby. It’s just sad and one of the worse way to be turn into a vampire. 😱
smeyer has said before that pregnant vampires CAN exist and yet did not provide us with a pregnant vampire character? like i wanna see a pregnant vampire sucking on some elf blood while doing the splits, or better yet, having a human touch her stomach and noticing that its hard so they knock and hear an echo from within! there's so many possibilities and its all super cool. I just always assumed preggos during transformation either dissolve or shit the babies out (to heal) but this is way cooler
Je viens de voir l'épisode 12 du livre V (la roche et l'épée), où Arthur replante l'épée.
Quand il revient, Guenievre lui dit qu'elle connait les lois et que, en l'absence de roi, c'est à la reine de désigner le successeur.
Sauf que c'est pour débusquer cette loi qu'ils font venir le jurisconsulte, afin de trouver comment nommer un héritier.
Est-ce que A. Astuer a oublié qu'il l'avait dit précédemment où c'est une façon de montrer que tout le monde prend Guenievre pour une conne et que personne lui a expliqué ce qu'ils cherchaient ?
