thinking about paul saying "we're harkonnens. so this is how we'll survive. by being harkonnens" and about jessica saying "your father didn't believe in revenge" and paul replying "yeah well i do" and how things can die even as they continue to draw breath and how the harkonnens really did kill off all three of the atreides that night not just leto

letsduneit

dune really explores every possible way someone can die without actually dying. paul's childhood self dies the night his father does. his atreides heritage dies when he seeks revenge. paul himself dies when he drinks the water of life. jessica the wife dies the night leto does. jessica the mother dies when she drinks the water of life. the girl alia could have become dies in the womb. stilgar dies when he becomes a follower. the fremen die when they leave their home to fight paul's war for him. the narrative treats every one of these deaths as a tragedy, as a palpable loss; the ghosts of who these characters were or could have been remain to haunt the narrative long afterwards.

#gofree is an absurd ass slogan regardless of who wears it but with pecco bagnaia it's like. it's almost artistic in its dissonance. it creates the kind of true pathetic emotional response in me that greek theater is supposed to create. one has to assume it's there aspirationally -- he is trying to motivate himself to go free -- but all it does is underscore the extent to which he is still hemmed in by his own careful deliberateness (his need for the right sized fuel tank in sprint races, his delineation of people's last names in his instagram debriefs, his painfully steady progress through a weekend) in a way that makes me want to cry. and when he does go free it's usually onto the gravel... yes he won championships but clearly they did not 'free' him... the slogan is still there exhorting him towards something more?? we don't even know what??? is freedom beating marc marquez on the same machinery and escaping the legacy you've been laboring under your entire career? because baby...

thinking abt at the time their stars were literally eclipsing each other as the past v future in the sport vale could bait marc and come out victorious (qatar 2013 assen 2015 etc) bc he knew exactly what buttons to push to get marc to engage, to wind the string, to let his overeager hunters instinct take over and i know it fucking killllllllllls him no matter how much he coaches pecco franky bez luca they wont ever understand what its like, what it meant to lose the 10th title, to race marc and know him when he was younger and how that familiarity informs racing against him now. when he sees you bleeding he will bite you harder. you need to get him at the start or you wont be able to pass him. but also in revealing these trade secrets to try to help them valentino is admitting his own defeat. that he was fallible, that at a certain point the tricks no longer worked (phillip island 2015 post race press conference). and then i think abt marc saying valentino has not been my rival for many years when vale retired. and then i feel sick

i find the fact that luka never really fed into the "did hawks win the trade" debates really endearing (though it was never really a debate). him and trae always had a good relationship and speak with admiration about each other despite being in the same draft class and being compared
