#WAS INTRA-CLAN MARRIAGE

[todaviia]

Why does it take hours to write the appeal? What's in the appeal? What's the "asylum agency", are they lawyers as well?

The "asylum agency" are the Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge (BAMF for short), it's the German Federal department for (among other things) vetting asylum claims. There are a lot of lawyers (as in, Juristen = people with a law degree) working there, but it's a normal administration job.

Basically in the German asylum system you first fill out an "Asylantrag" (asylum claim). In this you say where you come from and why you think you should be entitled to protection in Germany (both actual asylum - which refers to people who are personally persecuted - as well as subsidiary protection, which applies to people fleeing from general humanitarian disasters such as war).

Then the BAMF checks your asylum claim. Here is a very good English-language longform article by the Atlantic detailing how the BAMF works and what methods they use. Then they make a decision (Bescheid), which either accepts or rejects the claim (appealing it means you refuse to accept their ruling and try to overturn it).

There's TONS of problems with this. Even legitimate refugees often don't tell the truth or do so in a way that is contradictory bc we're talking about usually super traumatized ppl getting like half an hour to tell the absolute worst and often most intimate parts of their lives to a total stranger and THEN these total strangers judge whether they believe that or not.

And they can be super and I mean SUPER unfair about this. For example for the guy whose appeal I wrote today (let's call him F.), he was asked to describe his situation and he said he knew three other gay guys in his city, that they were the only people who knew about his sexuality and that they all were still closeted and still in Iraq. He gives detailed descriptions their meet-ups, their conversations, generally how they lived (it's literally all in the hearing transcript). The interviewer asked for their names. F. said their first names. The interviewer asked for their full names. F. said he doesn't know them.

In the Bescheid, it says among other things "F. was unable to give details including basic information such as names about the people who supposedly were members of the social group of people who shared his oppression. True accounts of persecution are often characterised by the fact that they are very detailed. His claim is therefore not substantiated."

We're talking about an 18-year old gay kid who just fled a country where he legitimately feared for his life because of his sexuality and who basically had to keep this part of himself secret his whole life, in a conversation with a complete stranger in a position of authority. Of course the fact that he didn't give the full names of his closest friends who still lived in that country in that situation must mean he's lying.

It also says it's contradictory and therefore unbelievable that the father would inform another family member about his son's sexuality because the fact that this would bring dishonor to the family means the father would have kept it a secret. (The "conversation" was the father convincing other male family members to join in and kill him - something which happens regularly in the country if you read up on literally any source dealing with LGBT Iraqis - often even clerics get involved to issue fatwas against them).

All in all, even if he was gay, he should have considered living anonymously in a different part of Iraq rather than come to Germany.

And what takes hours is to dig up reputable and up-to-date sources detailing the status of gay men in Iraq (Here is a heartbreaking report by Human Rights Watch btw), especially concerning the different regions of Iraq (Iraqi Kurdistan for example is considered more liberal when it comes to religion, so religious minorities from Iraq just get told to move to Iraqi Kurdistan instead. However, this does NOT apply to sexuality).

Then you try to pad that with other German court decisions abt gay men in Iraq (unfortunately it's mostly lower administrative court decisions, which don't hold much weight - but the VAST majority of them accept gay men from Iraq as legitimate refugees. There's also an ECJ ruling that says gay refugees can not be expected to hide their sexuality in their country of origin, as that would not be expected of straight refugees either and therefore would be discrimination, that's why his chances are quite good bc the Bescheid literally expected that of him) The LSVD has a REALLY great compilation for all sort of different countries of origin.

And then you have to take apart the whole bullshit Bescheid, point out the logical flaws, add other stuff the refugee told you and try to come with proofs for that etc.

It takes A LOT of work.

Here’s a fun little concept for my augur AU that just hit me and I need to share with y’all:

So, considering Squilf is a patrician and all and previously I’ve established how patricians, specially augurs and doubly so if they’re matriarchs/patriarchs such as in the case of Sandstorm, can often lend legitimacy to controversial deputy choices. So, pondering the Ashfur-Squirrelflight-Brambleclaw love triangle it hit me that an aspect of that could be that Squilf is being expected to act as kingmaker in a competition for deputyship. Squilf, of course, has been raised all her life with the knowledge she could at any moment be made into a pawn of Clan politics and that by virtue of being a patrician she might not be afforded the privilege of mating for love. But of course, her sister is the one chosen for the augur position and she was expecting that if she was made into a pawn it would be for inter-Clan conflict not intra-Clan conflict. Thus, she’s under pressure to choose who she thinks would make for a better deputy not who she loves more.

None of this to say, of course, that there isn’t a romantic aspect to this. Ashfur and Brambleclaw are not merely playing politics for their own ambition. And I like to think that without of being thrust into parenting before she felt ready and without having to undermine their trust as a couple with the parentage secret, Squilf would have time to get to a better place in her political marriage to Brambleclaw. And just like Leafpool gets to openly be a mother as she wanted, Squilf gets to wait until she’s ready to have Spark and Alder (afterall, she’s not the one who is under pressure to produce heirs) and that involves developing a better relationship to her husband.

What I Would Like to See in a MDZS Sequel (If Any)

AKA the MDZS fanfic I would write if my fiction-writing ability did not start and end with randomly throwing out weird theories and scenarios

SPOILERS FOR MDZS NOVEL AHEAD

NHS trying to pull a JGY and wanting to establish himself as the next Chief Cultivator/ the Nie clan as the strongest of the major clans.

Part of NHS’s plan involves a political marriage with JC to strengthen his alliances with the other clans. JC is the head of the Jiang clan, which makes him the strongest head of the strongest clan after the JGY debacle, JL taking over the Jin clan amidst intra-clan rivalry and LXC locking himself away in the Cloud Recesses. Even better, JC has direct links to the Jin clan via JL and indirect links to the Lan clan via WWX. 

After much grumbling, JC agreed to this marriage. From a strategic POV, it made sense as the Nie clan was fast becoming one of the most powerful clans around and was the only major clan which JC had no relationship with (although JC would probably rather die than admit that he was… not getting along too badly with WWX and, by association, the Lans). From the personal POV, well, JC has been blacklisted in the cultivators’ dating world so it is not like he has much choice in the matter. Plus, NHS does sorta… kinda… fit JC’s List of Requirements, SOOO…

WWX is living his best (second) life: on a perma-honeymoon with LWJ, slowly but surely mending his relationship with JC and trying to get LSZ and JL together (with some help from LJY).  

With LXC going into seclusion and no heirs from either of the Gusu Twin Jades coming anytime soon, LQR decides that it is time to start training LJY to take over as the next Lan clan leader. Chaos ensue as everyone knows that LJY is the most un-Lan ever to Lan.  

More Ouyang Zizhen!!! I don’t care if he joins the Lans and JL on night-hunts, studies at the Cloud Recesses or becomes LJY’s Love Interest. There just needs to be more of him (and his romanticism, bravery etc.)~~~

LXC… Oh man, I don’t know what to do with this cinnamon roll and his angst. I’m a hardcore XiYao shipper but that isn’t going anywhere short of LXC doing something outrageous like unsealing The Coffin or travelling back in time to Fix Things. Maybe LXC could somehow start the healing process when he starts getting closer with WN who has started spending more time at the Cloud Recesses now that WWX is based there and WN is hanging out with LSZ? Could XiNin be a thing??? The two purest characters in MDZS deserve better (than their canon fates)!

At present, many live in over-lapping areas and transracial marriage occurs typically. China is now the fastest growth market for the European travel business and with the fitting approach, inns, B&Bs, outlets and attractions throughout Europe stand to win large income from this newly opened market. This reaction to Europe is just not unusual from Chinese language vacationers who are used, in their very own country, to excessive commonplace resort lodging at low costs, clean and fashionable transport methods and really low crime charges. Visas: You will want a Chinese visa with the intention to travel in China. You'll have to apply on your personal visa at the Chinese language Visa Application Service Centre (CVASC). cheap flights going to manila philippines A single entry Chinese visa will value you round £60. This is made up of a £30 visa fee, and a £30 processing charge. Each single time I went to Hong Kong I visited Ocean Park. Each single time I took a tour bus to the Park. Each single time the tour bus stopped off at this jewelry store as a ploy to make the tourists purchase some jewellery. It is a type of conditions have been you might be compelled to get off and go into the shop and the whole environment forces you to take a look at jewelry while you'd relatively be looking at fish. The tacit strain is on for you to make a purchase.

Take no more than 5 minutes, ignore the stares and depart. When you stay to lengthy you will maintain up the tour or cough up some money whenever you'd quite not.

One factor that is helping to drive down costs is competitors from inventive Chinese operators primarily based in Europe. These brokers are prepared to use informal networks of enterprise contacts that bypass lots of the regular necessities of group tourism. It's troublesome for an established tour operator to compete on price with a China Town agency supplying a mini-bus driven by an area waiter and until the Chinese tourists themselves demand more, this situation may not change.

Shopping for garments in China could be nice enjoyable particularly from the markets where you possibly can often discover 'designer' labels at a fraction of the same old worth - but in fact these could also be of inferior quality. Additionally remember that clothes are often cut very small, and so you should think about shopping for a a lot larger measurement than you'll do at home. • Images: Taking photos is allowed in most places.

Even when loads try, nobody can mimic the distinct style of these dishes. No one can cook dinner them the unique Chinese means. Adventures and blood dashing actions will be executed by way of hiking adventures within the Great Wall, bike excursions and golf vacation in golf golf equipment of Sanya and Kunming and much more. The country has locations for nature loving individuals. These are where they might chill out and reminisce the colourful past of China through the beautiful mountain and backyard sceneries. China is a country of epic proportions.

In some areas where the locals are used to vacationers, it is more accepted, but it's a good rule of thumb to get permission before taking a picture with someone in it. You might gesture along with your digicam and nod, when you get a constructive response, then go ahead. Afterward, you'll be able to present them the picture if in case you have a digital digicam.

Solely a sure variety of licensed travel agencies are eligible to operate worldwide outbound journey companies and, in 1997, there have been only sixty seven outbound journey businesses in China; by 2004, that number had risen to 528.

The next listing is my prime seven spots I'd prefer to see in China. I included the province of Tibet in the checklist, but exclude Taiwan websites from the listing - as Taiwan isn't part of communist China despite the parties one China policy. To keep away from political controversy let's simply say this record is the highest 7 of mainland China. Language: Mandarin Chinese language is spoken in most of China.

Deliver along a Chinese pocket dictionary. Do not drink faucet water.
