jessica really said “god forbid women do anything” and doomed an entire people to war by installing her twink son as a false prophet by stealing her cult’s 10,000 year old breeding program propaganda

I've never watched Dune so just assumed this was actually the plot to Who framed Roger Rabbit and I probably js didn't remember

[narse-tantalus]

I mean her twink son was also an actual prophet. That was a pretty significant thing that happened. Like I understand where you're coming from here, but he very much was an actual prophet.

i’ve been a NaNoWriMo participant for 12 years (this year would have been my 13th consecutive NaNo!) and i’m super disappointed in the way that they have been running things over the past few years. myself and a lot of people in the community are distancing themselves from the organization, which is a bummer! I’ll always want to write a novel in November, but what do I do if there’s no NaNoWriMo to participate in?

@roughdraftmonth is the answer. it’s a small social-media based challenge run by myself and two other long-time writing challenge participants. if you’re looking for a NaNo alternative (one that is anti-ai, anti-whatever-the-fuck-that-statement-was, and pro-creativity), this is it! please share this post (or just the original, I won’t be offended if you leave out my addition) and join us for an RD-Mo this November 💚!!

can’t stop thinking about that shot where everyone in the room is kneeling and princess irulan, paul, and chani are the only ones standing. paul’s back to chani signifying his betrayal while princess irulan and chani are eye to eye - both heartbroken over what the man between them has done. my chest hurts that was so beautifully executed

trying to finish heretics but i need frank to get real

I like Dune: Part 2 PRINTS

[lithopsy]

DUNE TWO MOVIE SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS OR ILL EXPLODE

i cannot stop thinking about the final scene with chani and how amazing it is as an adaptation of the final lines of the book

in the book, Jessica assures Chani that she will be remembered as the true wife of Paul Muad’dib and i have always loved this allusion to history which is super important and also the centering of Jessica and Chani as voices in Leto/Paul’s lives

but Villeneuve takes it to a whole other level by giving Chani the agency to get angry and LEAVE?? like not only is she the woman that history will remember, she is also the one thing in the entire universe that Paul can’t control.

i knew that Denis got it from the moment he did that interview about how the women of dune are the heart and soul of the story but MY GD DOES HE GET IT!!!!!!

i am interested to see what this means for Messiah, though, because the opening of that book is just. lmao paul and chani having coffee in arrakeen.

[ixianmanufacture]

i think i might finally finish heretics of dune and chapterhouse dune lmao the movie has me pumped up the spice is flowing through my veins rn

[ixianmanufacture]

Paul Atreides must die for Kwisatz Haderach to rise. When you take a life, you take your own.
