A thing that sticking with me about Dune Part2 [SPOILERS] once Paul takes the waters of life, he stops being the protagonist. The film isn’t from his POV anymore, we don’t see his visions, the camera rarely meets him at eye level. He’s not a character anymore, but a force people must navigate.

hey love of my life, you've read dune right? can u explain the kwistaz haderach scheme like im 10 years old

I willll

where the definition of kwisatz haderach gets more complicated is when you start to pay more attention to the worldbuilding side of things apart from just looking at the role he plays in the larger story.

yeah idk how people walked away from this book thinking paul was the hero like. dude.

like it’s not even subtext it’s simply just THERE. “am i the son of my honourable father?” “you look like you’re evil grandfather.” “why is nobody acknowledging the kindness in cruel violence but me smh” “i’m god now you should fear me mother” HELLO???????

i know hawat is talking about the old duke and not the baron there but it’s a reoccurring thing in the last few chapters where characters notice “paul is looking more like his grandfather” both from ppl who know he’s the baron’s grandson and those who don’t.

and it’s a really interesting thing that he’s meeting his harkonnen grandfather’s fate by becoming a villain but also parts of his atredies grandfather’s the way he boasts and agrees to risk his life and fight feyd at the end when he doesn’t have to when the old duke died fighting a bull for sport.

actually realizing paul and his split parantage reminds me of zuko great grandfathers being firelord sozin and avatar roku. inside you there are two wolves—

try as they might, and they will try, they will never successfully franchise-ify dune. there's twenty four books. there's six books. four of them are good. the four good ones are good because every plotline is attached to three separate subplots all intertwined in a delicate braid. if you remove any plotline the whole thing collapses. every character has a mirror and a counterpart and a narrative foil. dune family trees look like the back of a tapestry. the final line of the first book is about how being a concubine is good actually. dune adaptations are not supposed to be marvel movie posters filled with actors you recognise, every character should be played by some unknown little freak. the longer the series goes on the more it becomes about politics and economics. about 40% of each book is internal monologue. at its core it's space wizards versus bdsm warriors on cocaine planet and trying to deny that is rank cowardice.

Saturn has 83 moons. 63 moons are confirmed and named, and another 20 moons are awaiting confirmation of discovery and official naming.

why don't people in zombie apocalypse stories ever just wear suits of armor? you think any zombie is gonna get their shitty rotting jaws through this?

I'm gonna rip and tear my way through the zombie apocalypse completely unharmed because none of the undead hoards will be able to get through my plate mail

"We call it vff," said the alien. "It's - it's hard to describe to a species without vffsense. Imagine trying to describe light to a species that never evolved eyes. But there are forms of life that are only perceptible with vffsense, and they've visited Earth and fed on life as long as it's existed here."

There was a pause.

Then the human said, "That's the worst thing you've ever said."

"Don't worry about it."

"I think I have to, now."

"No, because - well - you have a species of spider which pretends to be an ant, correct? It's not capable of understanding the fact that it's mimicking an ant, but it instinctually mimics an ant in order to deter predators."

"Sure?"

"Humans produce a vff to mimic varths, predators only perceptible through vffsense. The organisms that would like to feed on you are terrified of varths, and so they leave you alone. You aren't aware you do it, you don't have the capacity to understand you're doing it, but you evolved to instinctually do it to deter predators you can't see."

There was a pause.

Then the human said in a very soft and thoughtful voice, "And are there varths on Earth?"

"Yes," said the alien. "Everywhere. But don't worry about it."

I feel confident enough to post these now. A collection of all the existing posters after some edits from the other post that got 13k notes! These are full size/quality. Go nuts.

You may use them for wallpapers, tabletop campaigns, whatever. Consider tipping me or buying a print or sticker on ko-fi here! If you do use them, let me know what for, or send pictures!
