@hawkamonglesserbirds + starter call. 

❛ don’t waste my time. ❜ the voice transmitted through the helmet is flat, too devoid of any color to sound like a sign of impatience -- he simply means what he just said. the hunter turns his head away. either he hears concrete business propositions now or he finds another troubled place for a hunt. plenty of those around.

 Walking back into the Atreides House was not something she was unaccustomed to. Nor was it an admitted defeat to missing her better half. She walked with a given purpose as the Planetologist back from the deep desert. The way she held herself was identical to her father.

Kynes had always stood as a man of both societies and wore it with calm control. But he understood the ways of both. Chani, on the other hand was terribly unbalanced. 

The band of green fluttered silently against her arm as she moved with rhythmless steps.

She wasn’t back because she wanted to be. She wasn’t ready for that. She was back because she needed to be.

@hawkamonglesserbirds replied to your post: ok but given that a woman’s BG training...

This is something I’ve been meaning to explore with Paul as well as he has also been given BG training which seems to be extremely unnerving and psychologically damaging in that area (Paul seems to have a lot of anxieties around sex? And psychological damage might be the point to a degree as a sort of control/manipulation mechanism?)

trauma buddies high five lmao   

though lbrh that’s also why they don’t trust each other.  they both have most likely developed some antipathy towards the BG and their methods and their adepts.  

Both of them raised in cultures at once similar and dissimilar, forced to live in the same house and yet they absolutely CANNNOT trust each other.  Honestly, I don’t think Irulan is even capable of trusting anyone ?? there was no one and nobody that Irulan could genuinely trust or believe had her best interests at heart, which means that her adult life (especially while Paul was still alive) was spent balancing all the different groups that wanted to use her as a pawn like ?? everything n this universe is so fucking toxic lmao

OK enough rambling though, I definitely feel like there was psychological damage done as a means of control.  After I’m done catching up on everything, I’m gonna post some more thoughts on the BG---if you have the Dune Encyclopedia handy, I definitely recommend reading up on Anirul Corrino, because there’s some very telling excerpts from her diaries that provide insight into her experiences as a BG “breeder”

“ I can hear you quite easily.” Chani spoke softly, her hands never stopping in their work on the fiber that soon would grace her loom. “Usul, you still are the loudest thing to walk this planet.” She chuckled, her back still to him” Keep practicing.”

Isolde and Gwenhwyfach dont like their fathers and then Guinevere, Morgause, and Elaine are sad because their fathers are dead

So expanded verse is guilty of more than just using spice and sandworm variants.

#archetype series #mildly obsessed with messiahs who are also monsters; messiahs who are inherently monstrous by way of their connection to the divine #the divine is not nice; is not humane; it will eat a mortal from the inside out #and elevate his human striving beyond the capacity of one body to hold #so it spills out into the world; into others; creating disciples and churches and scripture and wars and peace #from this one person who is both flesh and not-flesh; who is light and dark as well as blood and spit all at once #who is half mad and half the sanest person you will ever meet #who can spend days staring at the sun and a moment to slice someone's throat open #who can look at you with blind eyes and tell you more about yourself than you ever knew because his throat is open to the universe #who with all that need and desire that springs from being the chosen of the gods can never be anything less than awful; than terrible; th... #than cruel; not because he is malicious but simply because no human can hold all that power and exert it upon the world #and not leave a scar as deep as an abyss upon the world #because you need to destroy to create; and the old must be sacrificed for the new #and the messiah is always flesh and divine; old and new; the unnatural meeting of both worlds #and he must always offer his profane flesh up as a sacrifice #lay his body down as the first stone on the path of humanity #he saves by destroying #of course he is wild; of course he is violent; of course the messiah is a monster #he is all the more beautiful for it #because he knows it #and that's the tragedy #that's why he's messiah #(or she) #we are singing now while rome burns #the kingdom of god is within you because you ate it #by me #nothing crueller than loving and being loved by a prophet#they blink and reality shivers
