Shoutout to the four people who've ever made fanart of Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse characters. The other ten people who read those books greatly appreciate your contributions.

Heretics of Dune - Miles Teg by Chris McGrath

estrogen would have saved her

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

My memories of Heretics of Dune now are like "500 pages of people sitting in rooms having philosophical conversations, then 30 pages of a guy being captured and interrogated and getting so high on the torture drugs that he learns to access the Speed Force, unlocks his cuffs, and punches the torturer's brain out of his skull."

Also thinking abt them... one of the most deranged family dynamics in Dune

Is it just me or is Miles Teg what you get when you manage to convince Leto Atreides to sign up for an anger management course but not therapy? Like, congrats, you are now Calm Depressed instead of Angry Depressed.
