on teg, or "chapter house if frank herbert wasn't a fucking coward"
(massive dune spoilers ahead for the last 3 books)
so about teg, right?
grand bashar miles teg, distant descendant of the siona-line of the atreides breeding program, the loyal leading dog of the bene gesserit military
miles teg the thoroughy duty-driven, the alarmingly perceptive
miles teg, of such a mind multiple reverend mothers point out that they have to actively remind themselves in conversation with him that he's not a fellow sister
miles teg, who died in the glassing of rakis
that miles teg
well, that's not all of teg of course
after all, siona is not teg's only ancestor of note, and so like a good duncan-scion, there is of course a ghola teg to follow the first one
but here's where the missed opportunity lies
why did they bring teg back as miles?
why not finally let that mind be in its place
a ghola is after all a clone with extra steps, and we know what the possibilities are, what can be done, because it's happened before
because if hwi noree can exist as a clone of malky, then tell me dear reader, and not just a clone, but a person so true to herself, so real, it almost had leto ii abandon the golden path
if all that is true, then why not let teg's ghola be born into the sisterhood, properly this time?
why not have teg be reborn a girl?
after all, everything started because, long ago, paul wasn't born a girl
