Ok - Here's the beginning of the story that I pulled together from the comment fic I dropped on helenish the other day. I'm dividing it into three parts, because it sort of makes sense with the three posts I did there

Um, yay, because it's my favorite thing. Also, you know, rape would be a really unspeakably awful crime on Sateda. That is - rape is awful in our culture, but rape on Sateda violates just about every cultural taboo AND is a betrayal of your whole society (who are YOU to decide to spread your DNA around!) and I think The Accused would probably scare the hell out of Ronon, who wouldn't understand why no one believed Jodie Foster. (Also, hey! This is canonically supported by The Tower, when Ronon basically kills those guys who threaten to rape the women.) Anyhow, I think it would be nice for Ronon to have a cultural more (RAPE IS BAAAD) that overlaps with the Atlanteans.

Just that his reasons differ with those of the 'lanteans of course.

Also (and you should do what you're doing with the Knot, because it's worked out so beautifully so far.) it occurs to me that maybe the Knot is some sort of symbol of the non-rapiness of the act. Also, there should be a folk story about it.Well, If we dive into earthen cultures for a bit than we'll

very interesting...

What a fascinating, complex take on the possible history of the Knot, and the development of the sociology of the Pegasus Galaxy.

I love that you were inspired to go down this path and think of some of the possible background for this world!

I especially like the idea of a Hero!girl!

thank you!
