A few curiosities on Paris and France:

Paris is actually a martial arts city, as during the Belle Epoque the Parisians decided the best way to deal with the gangs was to get early Savate instructors from Marseille to learn how they fought (the style having already acquired boxing style punching from English Boxing after British sailors won too many street fights, and being born to use knives and swords as it was intended to fight pirate attacks) and blended it with the local Parisian Wrestling (better known as Greco-Roman Wrestling for marketing reasons), fencing adapted to walking sticks (the contribution of the bourgeois and nobles), roof hopping (the distant ancestor of Parkour), and everything that came up in the streets (the gangsters could learn Savate too). And while World War I and the end of the gangs led to the sportivization of Savate, the stick fighting still survives as La Canne, and you can still find places that teach the old style that included all the above plus knee and elbow strikes, especially in Paris.

The story of the ancestor Darkblade is identical to an episode of the Hundred Years War with a few particulars omitted to not mention that the historical guy got brutally lynched or that this is how the English got Paris (the Burgundians were called in as back up and nominal overlords, and after the Parisians got their big prisoner out of jail and lynched him with a thousand ransomable guys they passed the hot potato to their English allies. Thus when King Charles VII talked the Parisians into going back to him it was an English garrison that got massacred). Look Bernard VII of Armagnac for more.

The mayor of Paris isn't elected directly. Rather, the citizens elect the city council, and it's them to elect the mayor.

While most French cities have their own local police in addition to the state-wide National Police and Gendarmerie, Paris didn't from 1871 (when the local detachment of the National Guard was disbanded for joining the Paris Commune. Just like their predecessors in 1789) to 2021, and even then it's far more limited in power. Paris instead has its own detachment of the National Police, depending from the Prefeture... And on which the mayor's office has NO authority. Paris cops also have the nickname of "Les Archers" ("The Archers") in honor of the Royal Watch, the law enforcement agency that operated in Paris the longest (from 1254 to 1750) and, upon becoming the ONLY agency in 1559 (the Burghers and Guild Watches having been abolished for having become useless), was turned in a large force of archers.

Good to know this info- definitely helps with world building and plot

Hello!

SU fan here (not the biggest, but I like the seria. For Peatlmoth fusion, there's no offical name, so Platinum works perfectly😉.

However, what I have found is this fusion in the fanom has two more common names,

Abalone (bit more common);

or Ammolite;

Both are related to shell (Perl's side) and have a rainbow coloration (Bismuth's)

* This is not to school you, agin, there's no offical name, just fun tidbit 😉

Yeah, I saw some of those being used in other fan fusions—thanks for the info. I was wondering what they were.

Saving sign language – The Catalyst

Saving sign language

Spanish, French and German; the three most prevalent languages taught in high schools throughout the United States, however one significant

Another great article to share but we think the current research shows ASL is the 4th most used language in USA, not 5th. Therefore it's, English, Spanish, French and ASL.

Will you learn American Sign Language today?

Hearing or deaf dogs can learn it too.
