The Sleeper Must Awaken @impercre - Tumblr Blog

Rules/Nav

Subakh ul kuhar, I’m Lee. A transman in my thirties.

I don’t/ am not going to be RPing with people who are under 18 just for my own comfort levels and given how much adult content can be on my blog can be at times.

I will block you if I see anything racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic on your blog. If I see anything in rules downplaying or ignoring these subjects or whitewashing I will block you on sight. No exceptions.

While I am book based I am totally game for playing with film based RPers we just might need to do some canon-welding.

Read my pages. I’m book based in the sense I use it as a starting point. But at the end of the day I'm pretty heavily headcanon based.

I do practice headcanon fluidity. I know all my headcanons can be intimidating but I want my partners to feel free to discuss things with me and know I am willing to compromise certain aspects if they don’t fit with their personal headcanons or comfort levels.

I’m okay with making corrections if I made a mistake or you have a problem with one of my responses. Roleplaying is about collaboration so let’s pursue that.

I don’t care about Reblog Karma, I’d actually prefer if you reblogged things from me so I can potentially send you memes.

No God Modding/Meta-Gaming

No Forcing of Ships.

While some of my muses have canon/headcanon relationships I’m always open to discussing other ships for anyone here.

No God Modding/Meta-Gaming

Totally game for playing with duplicates. The multiverse is alive and well.

I would also like to point out that Dune has a lot of triggering content. There is rampant drug use, abuse of several types and other unplesantness. If I don't tag something you need tagged, let me know.

This is also a Dune blog so if you’re a Zionist, lol this is absolutely the wrong blog for you.

Dune is also a book that appropriates a lot of not only Islamic and Middle-Eastern culture but First Nations Culture as well and was written by a very homophobic white dude in the 1960s. It can be extremely problematic in some areas, progressive in others. So while I'll be trying to correct some of the more unpleasant aspects of Frank's 'creative choices' I'm not perfect. I appreciate all feedback and even constructive criticism.

That said this blog is Orthodox Herbertian in that I mainly only pull from the first six books written by Frank Herbert himself. While I highly recommend Brian Herbert’s biography of Frank Herbert, Dreamer of Dune, I don’t care for the direction Brian took the Dune series or the elements of Canon he’s disregarded. That said I will happily play with the plots of Hunters and Sandworms of Dune as I find the premise of ‘Clone High in SpaaaAAaaaace’ just camp enough to be fun.

MESSAGE ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS- I’m Lee. I’ve been RPing on Tumblr for over 10 years now and there have been times it got really un-fun because of some of the shit that went on. And I really just want to enjoy myself and make sure those I rp with do the same so its best if communication happens sooner rather than later. I promise I don’t bite. <3

de-morte

I am older than stone, older than the first breath that trembled in the lungs of creation, and still I endure— a sovereign wrapped in ruin, a god crowned with the fire of mourning.

#lion of the atreides {leto ii aesthetic}

Realizing I've used Kanata Hongo for Paul for close to ten years. Wild.

#he is exactly how i picture paul #small almost delicate looking #but with a quiet intensity #which is yeah okay the quiet intensity is very integral to how i write paul #like there needs to be a dangerous quality to him #not in the book [ooc]

#Love Leto II he is one of my favorites #He is also actively the thing that will not shut up #And will ramble on for hours #Or say the most unhinged shit just to mess with people #not in the book [ooc]

“The world has made choices for us.” for Leto II

DUNC DEUX SENTENCE STARTERS | accepting

"And so we shall make choices for the world." The boy-creature mused. He was staring directly at the sun when she found him, his voice distant like someone listening to an unheard music or unseen dream.

He clasped his hands behind his back and skipped over to his aunt. "The world as we know it is a human thing. It does what we do, for our reasons."

Differences Between Book/ My Headcanons and Films Cheat Sheet

Duke Leto Atreides

He's much more of a bastard. Duke Leto is actively plotting to usurp the throne from Shaddam IV and hasn't married Jessica specifically in the hopes of marrying one of Shaddam's daughters.

Paul Muad'Dib Atriedes

Also so much more of a bastard. While he does have mixed feelings about it, ultimately he is consciously manipulating the Fremen to get what he wants which is revenge for his father's death and House Atreides back in power.

Thufir Hawat

Thufir is one of the most renowned and feared mentat-assassins in the Imperium who's served House Atreides for generations. After the Fall of House Atreides, Thufir is forced to join House Harkonnen where he takes the young Feyd-Rautha under his wing with the intent of using him to take his revenge on House Harkonnen.

House Harkonnen

So while the main cities on Giedi Prime are industrial nightmares with pollution/food rationing/ etc. The primary export is of Pilingitam wood, the trees growing to massive size and becoming as hard as steel when dried out.

Feyd Rautha

While I'm not going to pretend Feyd doesn't have issues, he does. He's probably one of the most self aware characters in the book. He's fully aware of how perverse the Baron is and actively wants to escape his control. He's also genuinely popular on Giedi Prime with many having more love and loyalty for him than they do his Uncle. I have taken the liberty of fleshing him out even more and developing the relationship with him and Thufir, with Thufir in some ways molding and guiding Feyd to be a more honorable ruler like the Atreides were. He also does care for his older brother, Rabban. He's aware Rabban is terrible even brutal governor of Arrakis but is equally aware his Uncle has maneuvered to force Rabban into that position. Rabban has also actively protected Feyd from their Uncle. As he himself wasn't so lucky avoiding his Uncle's s****l abuse.

The Fremen/Arrakis in General

So there isn't the divisions between Southern and Northern Fremen. The book treats the Fremen as fairly homogenous which is problematic in it's own right. I myself prefer to write it as every Fremen tribe having unique cultural practices. I am particularly fond of the idea of each Fremen tribe using slightly different techniques in how they produce Stilsuits and how they decorate them. In terms of religion- based on my understanding of the books the Fremen who live in the cities tend be the more skeptical of Fremen Religion with those being in the deep deserts being the more religious. Since the movie also glosses over this I think it's also important to point out in the book Paul inherits Jamis' household after killing him. In Fremen culture calling someone out means you will have to provide for that person's spouse, children etc. And is not to be taken lightly. Also I made up a whole tribe for my own shits and giggles X

Liet Kynes

So uh my Kynes is a man. He is also part Fremen through his mother and while he does help the Atreides he comes to regret it. He is also an important leader amongst the Fremen having united the Tribes in the hopes of changing the face of Arrakis to be more hospitable and be under Fremen control. He's also Chani's father.

Chani

Like in the book Chani is a Sayyadina, a Fremen Priestess. She's not against Paul as a religious figure, she does initially believe he is the Lisan Al-Gaib but also comes to believe he doesn't fully understand her culture and needs to be protected.

Kaleff

Kaleff is Jamis' stepson. I've headcanoned it that Kaleff sees Jamis as his father as his birth father wasn't a good man. I have aged him up from what he was in the book so he's roughly the same as Paul but decides against calling him out coming to respect Paul as a friend and leader even if like his father he's a religious skeptic. But falls in line with Paul because he has no love for some of the current Fremen social norms or most off-worlders.
