All social constructs might need deconstruction...
There's no clear villains in the Pyra and Ronan story, just bullies and irritating people and the like. Most of them have in common that they follow the 'traditional morality' of their culture (Nation or Héva) and are also empathyless and cruel, often in petty ways.

No, the usual sort of misunderstanding in this sort of 'take it off' conversation isn't even on the radar for Ronan, but getting a bit of a panic attack when you accidentally arrive in the land where men don't exist is... Maybe the Planetary Council shirt works.

I do recognise neurodivergent traits in a lot of writers (you need to be an introvert with a deep internal world to be a writer already, and a lot have clear ADHD creativity and gifted traits too) but I have no clue which one officially is ND on diagnosis level...

Chaotic good...
My main characters usually have a deep internal sense of ethics based on fairness for all and rejection of evil, cruelty and greed, which in the case of Pyra is, for once, not contradicted by her environment. It fits well within the views of Nation outlaws.

No burgers as we know it, and I don't think it's a culinary delight to Ronan and Pyra either, but it's a form of ultraprocessed food in fancy shapes... Héva is a strange place to be, and not just because they don't have any men...

In Pyra's time the reconnection of The Nation with the rest of the planet, and recognition of the alliance of 'outlaw' Ghost Towns as a seperate state on Nation Island (and member of the Planetary Council) are still seen as a subject of a lot of discussion in The Nation...

The story of Ronan and Pyra begins with a random bird and the scenery before it zooms in at the characters...
(Which is probably completely wrong according to Amer/English 'creative writing' coaches, but I like Ghibli over Hollywood too if you know what I mean...)

"Love is a mystery, but you recognise it when you see it", from the conversation of Michael and his final LI and the priestess of the (formerly only) female outlaws about an outlaw 'Love Ceremony' (certainly not a Nation Marriage) in the Wife School dystopia.

John Manfred (the Father of The Nation) is seen as a hero by most male Nationers, but most other people in the Nation archipel (including the Ghost Town outlaws and Hévans) would say he's the worst thing to happen since the era of tsunamis and the great blackout..

Everyone should read Joan Slonczewksi's 'A Door into Ocean', with its deconstruction of gender and even biological sex, plus the theme of nonviolence against violence too, in very patriarchal violent planet against one with non-violent women-only inhabitants... Intriguing book!

Not much progress on the Pyra and Ronan story, a bit of a writer's block and too busy with other things I think.
The story is set in the ANOD world, inspired by horrible incel memes & bad christian marriage books, but there's also slice of life, a bit of adventure, and chaos...

The land of Héva is named after Sister Héva, who escaped the patriarchy of The Nation to new land and founded the Sisterhood to lead every aspect of the lives of the sisters in Héva.
The other group of female outlaws who stayed found her too extreme...
