right, nowadays werewolf erotica is all about the hot naked muscle and shirts torn asunder and all that. but I think bisclavret, the quaint homoerotic werewolf classic that it is, has some pretty interesting things to say around shame, intimacy and clothing/revealing yourself. of course, clothes are the chevalier's tether to humanity and the first thing his wife seeks to establish after he reveals his werewolf nature is whether or not he goes about naked - his nakedness, to her, confirms that he is more beast than man. her immediate reaction is to avoid "laying" with him, she hates the idea of admitting a beast into her bed. to him, to reveal his nature was an act of love and he was immediately punished for this vulnerability. then he supplicates himself before his king, who rewards that vulnerability and his ambiguous beast-man status, treats him with respect. bisclavret sleeps next to all the other knights. when he is finally presented his clothes to turn back, he is ashamed to do so in the presence of the king, perhaps taught by his previous experience - so in a gesture of trust and love, the king gives the werewolf his very bedchamber to safely change. he finds bisclavret transformed, truly revealed, literally sleeping (the ultimate position of vulnerability) on the king's bed - whereupon, in an act of affirmation, he kisses his beloved dog/knight silly. this apex of intimacy between the king & bisclavret takes place in the bed, yes, but with the clothes on, because the intimate truth that was violated & needed to be uncovered and avenged by the king was not bisclavret's body but his humanity

big day for french people the old nazi just died

[thefourofdiamondsart]

The king ran to embrace him;

more than a hundred times

he hugs and kisses him.

As soon as he got a chance

he gave him back all of his land;

he gave him more than I’m telling you.

“Bisclavret” by Marie de France, 12th C.

"Le Pen was notably convicted in 1990 for a radio remark made three years earlier in which he referred to the Nazi gas chambers as a “detail in World War II history.” In 2015, he repeated the remark, saying he “did not at all” regret it, triggering the ire of his daughter — by then the party leader — and a new conviction in 2016.

He also was convicted for a 1988 remark linking in a play on words a Cabinet minister with the Nazi crematory ovens, and for a 1989 comment blaming the “Jewish international” for helping seed “this anti-national spirit.”

In another setback, Le Pen lost his European Parliament seat in 2002 for a year for assaulting a Socialist politician during a 1997 election campaign." - Associated Press

"A fervent defender of French Algeria, Le Pen was repeatedly accused - as supported by archives as well as victims' and witnesses’ testimonies - of having practised torture as an intelligence officer during the Algerian War.

On several occasions, Le Pen admitted his role. “We were given a police mission and we accomplished it, according to an imperative of efficiency that requires illegal means,” he said in May 1957.

“If violence must be used to discover a nest of bombs, if one man must be tortured to save a hundred, torture is inevitable, and therefore, in the abnormal conditions in which we are asked to act, it is just.”" - Middle East Eye
