english major brain: words can evolve and develop as a society goes on. the way a word is used is its definition. it's pointless to hold onto the idea of right vs wrong words
human brain: THAT IS NOT WHAT LARP MEANS!!!!!
I keep saying āseparating men and womenās spaces is anti-feminist at its root and all competitions, bathrooms, etc., should be mixed-genderā and people keep saying ātrans people should be allowed in their respective gendered spaces.ā Which I agree with, but is only a step on the path, and I take issue with people treating it like an end goal. In fact, we COULD eliminate that step entirely by simply having mixed gender spaces.
I remember the fight for mixed gender sports, but now weāre fighting for trans peopleās rights to be included in gendered sports. The only justification for gendered sports that exists is Those Men Will Crush Our Weak Little Women. Itās sexist. Segregation is always a means of oppression.
Iām not a fan of that goalpost shift, and Iām not sure why itās so popular as of late.
Humans of all the great apes are remarkably sexually non-dimorphic. The (mean) difference between men and women tends to be ~15%. For reference, other apes like gorillas, orangutans, tend to have about 50% dimorphism. 15% is comparable level of dimorphism to dogs and horses.
Both of which, if youll note, are species that we race in non-sexgender-segregated sports. There's not one derby for boy horses and another one for girl ones.
The majority of the dimorphism that we *see* is social and cultural. Women are discouraged from sports from a much earlier age than men. Women who are naturally tall and muscular may choose not to pursue body building because of social pressures for women to be small and dainty. Women who have broad shoulders, double jointed ankles and webbed toes (the things that make Michael Phelps such a good swimmer) may never touch a swimming pool in their life because of similar stigma surrounding women's bodies that men are not subject to.
Instead of looking to abolish the conditions that create these sexgender differences, trans-exclusionists attempt to reinforce the binary by asserting that women are naturally weak and there is no possible way to overcome this difference except by segregation. Ask yourself: who benefits from that train of thought?

greek anon here i also go to beaches and think. wow. a rocky cliff. a little gazebo. this is so summer palace. a friend was visiting me once and i took them to an archaeological museum and talked their ear off about statues i wanted to see damen drawn as. i relate to laurent more than damen but i find greek culture more familiar so it's a weird mix. don't worry about being unhinged about capri there are at least 2 of us here.
are there any places in france that remind you of vere? i'd like some fic inspo. and maybe so i can plan a trip at some point. feel free to not answer this if you feel uncomfortable sharing specific locations. i'm curious about famous castles or museums across the country that you find visually fit the bill but i understand if that makes you uncomfy too. i'd also appreciate stuff like paintings or clothing that have that vere vibe.
also also if you haven't read it i recommend the modern au fic hand in unlovable hand by thickenmyblood which has me thinking about normal modern things and connecting those to capri as well. it also has some devastating commentary on internalised bigotry and it's really well done.
It's my third time trying to answer this. I think I might go crazy if it doesn't work lol.
First of all, thank you for being another unhinged capri fan. Makes me feel less alone and less crazy haha <3 And I hope your friend knows how lucky they are because I'd love to be taken to archeological museums to talk about capri tbh
Second, yes, I have read HIUH and I loved it!! The fic is incredibly well-written and captivating so despite it being a behemoth length-wise, I cleared it in just a few days. I also love When the sun is on again by the same author!!
Now, about places that remind me of Vere in France... *Cracks fingers*
There are, in one hand, places that remind me of Vere because of their names. For instance, in France, there is a real city called Arles. I've never been there but from what I know of it, have heard and seen of it, it's a beautiful city that could totally serve as reference for the Capri version of Arles :) Just look how pretty:
Then there is a county called Allier, several cities with names starting with "Belloy-", or even an actual castle of Ravenel!
But the most striking to me is Varenne, because I personally spent years of my childhood in a locality called Varenne. Which is a crazy coincidence honestly. And now everytime I go to my hometown, whenever I drive by Varenne, all I think about is Berenger lol
On the other hand, there are places that remind me of Vere because of their architecture/vibe. For instance, I picture the castle of Arles as a 17th/18th century french castle, and many of the castles in the Loire Valley fit the bill. My favorite is the castle of Chambord. It is majestic, beautiful, and it has a bunch of towers/turrets, just like the castle of Arles if I remember Damen's descriptions correctly.
I also want to mention the castle of Chantilly which has somptuous stables (for baby Laurent...) and gorgeous, over-the-top apartments which kinda fit what I have in mind for the inside of Arles' castle.
I can't not mention Versailles. Although the Palace's overall architecture doesn't quite fit the castle of Arles in my opinion, some things can still be used as reference or inspiration imo. For example, I recently learned that there used to be an entire wing of the castle dedicated to baths! With at its core a bathroom with at least one bath entirely carved out of marble, and an ingenuous piping system which brought hot water to the baths (rings a bell?) though the baths were mostly filled with perfume, apparently...
Chastillon being described as more of a fortress, I could see it looking something like the castle of FougĆØres, which is a medieval fortress.
Honorable mentions to the castles of FougĆØres sur BiĆØvre and Maintenon which I both really like, but would probably be more provincial castles. Perhaps Acquitart's? I don't remember much of the way Damen describes it tho, so perhaps not. I definitely have to re-read soon...
The Louvre is also a must-do. Insane collections, infinite inspo and references. I could spend days in that museum tbh :)
And if you're looking for costume references/inspo, the Palais Galliera could be worth a look, though they only do temporary exhibit. You can always browse some of their pieces on their website tho!
I think that's about it. I don't have any specific painting or articles of clothing that come to mind right now. All I can say is I picture the fashion in Vere being a mix of Renaissance and Baroque and fantasy because costumes back then were honestly horrendous, especially for men lmaooo
