So, I was thinking about the Chandrilan wedding ceremony and I had something of a disturbing thought. Part of the ceremony involves a knife given to the groom by the father of the bride. But the words... the words give us SO MUCH INSIGHT into Chandrilan culture and history. (Sorry for the bad quality. I got the pictures from a low quality YouTube clip)

Stekan Sculdun: I will not return this knife.
Perrin Fertha: Do with it as you wish.
Perrin is handing over a tool that can be used for violence and control, symbolically handing his daughter out of his protection and into whatever kind of life Stekan is offering her. And, more importantly here, giving Stekan permission to treat Leida however he wants without interference.
Of course, this is an ancient ceremony (hundreds or possibly thousands of years old) so the actual feeling behind the words will have shifted, but they can still speak volumes about how Chandrilan society USED to work. Clearly, if a girl is being given from one man to another, it was a patriarchal society with some degree of the idea that women are property. I don't think that that is still the case, or else Mon wouldn't have been elected to represent the whole planet in intergalactic politics, but there's clearly some holdover traditions. The USA actually has a similar situation, where a woman can now live entirely independent of men, but it's still custom for a woman to take her husband's name upon marriage (which I've heard is much more rarely the case in Europe) and for her father to symbolically give her away to her new husband.
Another thing that caught my attention was the possibilities of how this ceremony might... go awry.

The ceremony involves the groom using the knife given to him by the father-in-law to cut the bride's braid. It involves a knife coming VERY close to her neck. How many times in the past do you think a boy was forced into one of these marriages and used this moment to cut his bride's throat and escape the wedding? It seems like this was a common ceremony at one point in history, so it must have happened at least a handful of times.
Do you think Perrin was thinking of those times as he handed the knife over?

this is an ❌❌ anti “boy cat”/“girl cat” zone ❌❌ your neutered male cat is not sitting on your chest and purring because he gives a shit about being a boy. he’s doing that because he’s a domestic animal that you house and feed and pet

Andor makes me want to write a Star Wars fanfiction but it's so scary. What if I write "Glup Shitto was sitting on the balcony, drinking coffee and reading his favourite book", but someone comments "didn't you mean he was drinking glop-goppy and reading a holo-journal? 🤨" so I open wookiepedia to check it out and it turns out that they also never invented balconies in the star wars universe and Glup Shitto can't read because of the freak accident he suffered in the episode 10 of the 2024 show "Jar-Jar and Babu Frik". What then.
