this still makes me cackle

[letsduneit]

it's wild to me that people act as if chani's primary reason for leaving paul was bitterness about being a concubine like girl..... i promise that did not even register in her brain compared to the realization that paul had chosen to become her people's oppressor, to become her oppressor, to destroy the equality that was very foundation of their relationship. i promise her agency and her loyalty to her people, things which existed before paul and will exist after him, were more important to her than how "official" her relationship would be considered within a system she did not care about.

[myrcella]

bonus: 

[s1hayas]

i think i've said this before but chani did know she was going to die with that accelerated of a pregnancy, and while people may assume she goes through with having a child for paul - it's AT BEST maybe 30% of the reason. she had a child before them and she loved motherhood, even if she wasn't going to be there for the twins she still wanted them. she wanted something of herself in the world. period.

RICHARD SIKEN SENTENCE STARTERS   —   majority of quotes pulled the poetry book crush. feel free to make alternations.

if you love me, you don’t love me in a way i understand.

there are so many things i’m not allowed to tell you.

you say ‘i’ll give you anything,’ but you never come through.

please, for just one night, will you lie down next to me?

you wanted happiness. i can’t blame you for that.

i owe you, i owe you everything.

tell me you love this, tell me you’re not miserable.

you didn’t show up. i kept waiting.

why take more than we need? because we can.

i want to explain myself to myself in an understandable way.

people like to think war means something.

you are here, you are here, you’re still right here.

sorry about how i ruined everything by saying it out loud.

will you defend yourself?

let’s not talk about it, let’s just not talk.

how much can you change and get away with it, before you turn into someone else, before it’s some kind of murder?

i ran and i knew you wouldn’t catch me.

when you have nothing to say, set something on fire.

you still get to be the hero.

tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us.

i’m bleeding, i’m not just making conversation.

eventually something you love is going to be taken away. 

you want a better story. who wouldn’t?

i hope it’s love. i’m trying really hard to make it love.

we are not dirty.

i will come back from the dead for you.

you are a fever i’m learning to live with.

do you want to go home now?

there’s nowhere to go.

i’d rather quit. i’d rather be sad.

unfortunately, we don’t have that kind of time.

you take the things you love and tear them apart.

there is no way to make this story interesting.

i don’t think i can take this much longer.

do you love yourself? 

sorry about the blood in your mouth. i wish it was mine.

even when i look away i am still looking.

i think i need to do this alone.

what more do you want?

you saved my life.

someone has to leave first.

i swear, i end up feeling empty, like you’ve taken something out of me.

will you love me even more when i’m dead?

your world doesn’t make sense.

[s1hayas]

someone mentioned you can see chani is pregnant in the vertical version of the part three trailer and now I can’t unsee it.

an offer from a gentleman julia quinn

why don't you come with me? i could use a bit of company.

i know who you are.

don't you ever, ever make the mistake of thinking you are as good as the rest of us.

i don't want to see you.

do you have any questions?

i might be with child!

do you think this color is becoming on me?

was the column very good this morning?

don't be impertinent!

did you need something?

what are you chattering about?

cease your prattle immediately.

i find the sound of your voice particularly grating.

you look stunning tonight.

if you wish for things you can't possibly hope for, you're only going to be disappointed.

i beg your pardon?

what is going on?

i do not dance.

what is so funny?

it would be ungentlemanly of me to allow this sorrowful state of affairs to continue.

come, dance with me.

why is it that you always seem to be laughing at me?

i'm just so happy to be here.

i like to watch you smile.

eligible young ladies, a pack of ravenous wolves, the lot of them.

how much have you had to drink?

it's nice to see two siblings who love each other so well.

you call that love?

why so many secrets?

we shall have to take a stroll together.

you're very quiet.

tonight i am transformed, tomorrow i shall disappear.

then we must pack a lifetime into this very night.

where are we?

you're quite the detective.

are you fishing for compliments?

oh! i'm sorry!

i want to touch you.

who are you? i have to know.

i want to see you tomorrow.

i want your future. i want every little piece of you.

you might as well tell me everything. you know i will figure it out on my own soon enough, and it will be far less embarrassing for you if i don't have to ask any questions.

it was all very innocent, i assure you.

it's so nice to see you in love.

oh, goodness, you gave me a fright.

i don't ever want to see your face again.

what was your name again?

have we met?

it was a very brave thing you did.

i was very worried about you.

it was very kind of you to care for me.

i didn't do anything for which i ought to apologize, did i?

you wouldn't lie to me about this, would you?

do not stifle yourself on my account.

i find you rather... refreshing.

have you plans for the rest of the day?

whatever could you be thinking, to look so adorably ferocious?

are you this charming with everyone or only me?

you have already embarrassed me beyond repair. what more could you possibly wish to do to me?

i like when you say my name.

sometimes i think you couldn't possibly be real.

i think i have to kiss you. it's rather like breathing. one doesn't have much choice in the matter.

who are you, [name]? who are you, really?

something isn't quite right about you.

it is not my habit to remain in the company of people who insult me.

be mine. be mine right now. be mine forever. i'll give you anything you want. all i want in return is you.

i want you in my bed. i want you tomorrow. and i want you the next day.

you're a fool.

do you understand what you're giving up?

i have been adrift all my life.

let me be your anchor.

what do you wish?

i'm only trying to save you from yourself.

you're making me hate you, you know.

i can live with you hating me. i just can't live without you.

what are you smiling about?

i'm plotting your demise.

you bring out the worst in me, [name].

has anyone ever told you that you are exceedingly nosy?

i can't bear it when you look so sad.

there's a sorrow deep in your eyes. it's rarely gone.

i wish you would share your secrets with me.

i burn for you.

every night, i lie in bed, thinking of you, wondering why the hell you're with [name], of all people, and not with me.

tell me what happened. did someone bother you?

you're nothing like the rest of your family.

do you understand what it feels like to be pushed away?

how many times do you expect you can reject me before i stop trying?

oh, stop with that old excuse. it's grown tired. if you wanted to be with me, you would be with me.

i won't be your mistress. i won't be any man's mistress.

i don't regret what we did. i wish i could. i know i should. but i can't.

they say that a smart person learns from her mistakes. but a truly smart person learns from other people's mistakes.

what happens when one falls in love with someone unsuitable?

i love you.

i want to marry you.

when i thought about what it was in life i really needed—not what i wanted, but what i needed—the only thing that kept coming up was you.

you're so beautiful. everything i ever dreamed of.

i love you. i have always loved you. i think i loved you before i even knew you.

you are the reason i exist, the very reason i was born.

devoted, yearning & obsessive

❝ you occupy my thoughts. day and night, even in dreams you're there. i want you to never stop haunting me. ❞

❝ i am eternally yours. until the stars go out. and maybe, even after that. ❞

❝ my heart bleeds the color of your soul. i would cut it out and put it in your palms if i could. ❞

❝ it's like you have knit yourself around my ribs. i could no more cut you out than i could remove my own lungs. ❞

❝ you are woven into my soul and i dare not cut a single thread. ❞

❝ i am yours, body and soul, to do with as you wish. ❞

❝ i don't require you to love me back, or to care for me as i do you. only let me be here, let me devote myself to you. that would be enough. ❞

❝ i want to trap your smile in a bottle and take it out when no one else can see. ❞

❝ you belong to me and i to you. ❞

❝ do not look away from me. i cannot bear it when i do not occupy your vision. ❞

❝ i will follow you. to the ends of the earth, to the very gates of hades and whatever might lay beyond. ❞

❝ i will always be here. no matter how far you go you can always come home to me. ❞

❝ tell me all the places you have been hurt, every rejection, every scar. let me love you in all the places where you have burned. ❞

❝ i will not ever let you go. ❞

❝ you cannot escape this. you cannot run away from the love we share. ❞

❝ what we have is deeper than words could capture. ❞

❝ i will be anything you desire. i pluck out the parts of me you find distasteful and stuff your love in the craters left behind. ❞

❝ tell me what you wish of me and i will do it. ❞

❝ i could spend all day merely watching the air in your lung. i would count every blink. i would cherish every sigh from your lips. i could watch you merely exist for the rest of my life. ❞

❝ don't let go of me. i think if you lost me i would die. ❞

❝ i will cut out the tongues of every man who has wronged you. ❞

❝ i wish i could crawl inside you and make a home out of the hollows of your bones. ❞
