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.

Still having Chani feelings, man. Because I think it is actually not that common to see a character (but especially a female character) whose main commitment in life is to a political struggle, and to have that be taken seriously by the narrative. Not painted as naive idealism or a trendy lifestyle choice or something the character eventually leaves behind for "real" commitments like marriage, career or children.

We don't see really anything of Chani's home life in the sietch, but it seems reasonable to infer that the fedaykin are what she's built her life around. The very first thing we learn about her, before we even know her name, is that she's a fighter. This is a core part of her identity.

She falls in love with Paul when he's willing to risk his life beside her as an equal, for a cause that she can't escape but he could walk away from if he chose. The question she asks him is not Do you love me? but Will you always be with me? Will you always be beside me in the struggle, fighting for the same things I am?

And as soon as the answer to that question is no, they're over. There is absolutely no possibility of love overriding that political betrayal, because her love for him is inextricable from coming to trust that he is committed to their liberation and not simply trying to use them. He said over and over again that he didn't want power, and as soon as he reaches out to claim it there is no way they can be together. The worst betrayal isn't watching him choose another woman, it's watching him declare himself emperor and send her own people off to slaughter others when he said he was fighting for their freedom.

So she leaves him, and we're never supposed to see it as anything but justified. There is simply no way she will turn her back on the most important thing in her life for him.

Hello!! I was rereading 'Your Gonna Go Far' so that way I stay up to date on what's gone on and in case it updates and I don't know BUT I wanted to just say how much I adore your writing. Like the way you are able to portray characters and explain why they act and do what they do! Some people fall into making Tsu'tey an asshole just cause that's what they have seen in the movie or portray him in an overly sweet way that doesn't make sense for his character (not that he can't be but still). I also love the dynamics between Jake, Neytiri, and Tsu'tey like the boys aren't only in love with Neytiri and in a relationship just for her but are also in love with each other and show it in their own way. I love how they are and to talk yet still struggle because Jake was human who was a soldier so he struggles more in trying to express properly what he means. As for Neytiri she is like the perfect mediator in a way? Hope that makes sense but it's like her applying her tsakrem (probably didn't spell that right) training which helps her with figuring out her mates and helping them also understand one another!!

Sorry for how long this is I just really wanted to talk about it and show that your work is appreciated even if it isn't always commented!💀

this warms my heart! and you're totally okay with ranting, I love asks about this! it really makes me happy that people notice these things in my writing and makes it worth all the work to write it.

thank you! this was really sweet!

getuo bringing you the body part of someone who previously hurt you 🥺🥺

hi it’s rem! i wanted to get your opinion on something lol, ive been read more avatar fics and scrounging for delicious poly ones. found a poly one (minus tsutey) and i feel like in some avatar fics, people get ronal’s character completely wrong :( i was reading this fic and it was good! but they portrayed ronal as a complete bitch LMAO, and it surprises me because ronal and neytiri are very very similar, both extremely fierce women who aim to protect their family. who won’t let anyone step over them, both who have gone through grief of losing a soul sister, both lovers and fighters. i find it strange that people demonise ronal so much, her being wary of the family is because anything to do with humans has notoriously ended up in pain and horror

this is soo common in many fanfics, especially when it comes to women characters. often times they're reduced to mean and bitchy women meant to serve as antagonists in these fanfics. these are some of my pet peeves when it comes to both writing and reading fanfics.

i wish we'd grow out of that but unfortunately, there are still many stories out there that are like that.

Heya, just wanted to check in to see how you're doing in general. Hope school work isn't too bad and if it is I wish you all the luck you need to complete it!

school work's not to bad, thanks for checking up! I'm just getting adjusted to this new school I'm now attending so, hopefully, things continue to go well from there.

I'm not going to lie, but I am VERY INTRIGUED about how Chani's storyline is going to go. And what kind of relationship with Paul will she have with such changes?

they really went what if u loved a prophet u didn't believe in. what if u hated everything he represented but loved what he was underneath. what if u loved him until u couldn't anymore because u loved ur people more? what if love was never the problem but what he said and did in the name of love for u and for ur people. he never had a choice but he made it anyway. and so did u

[dune spoilers]

at the end of dune 2, paul extends his hand to the emperor, and the emperor doesn’t take it right away, and paul stomps his foot. it’s authoritative, but childish. it’s the perfect encapsulation of who paul is in that moment. his naïveté and his grandiosity all tied into one. brilliant

[ronwestbreeze]

no i will not make separate blogs for my fandoms, everyone who follows me must experience ALL my insanity

[ronwestbreeze]

the scene where jessica uses the voice to force chani to use her tears to resurrect paul is SO fucking crazy to me. true love's kiss only it doesn't save the day, it destroys everything. the fact that she literally has to cry to bring him back, the way his eyes immediately snap open, her horror and devastation when she realizes he came back changed. it's a fairy tale and it's a fucking nightmare.

[ronwestbreeze]

You promised me you didn't want power. My allegiance is to you. To the Fremen. I'm doing this for all of us. Do you believe me?

Guys, if you read on AO3 please try to create an account. So many of us writers are going to be forced to lock down our fics to registered users out of necessity to help keep AI away, and it kills us because we don’t want to stop any of you from reading.

AO3 is invite only. So if you know an AO3 user, ask if they have an invitation to give you (we’re given invite codes to share with others who want to join) because that’s an easy way to get in. If you don’t know someone you can ask, this is AO3’s instructions for requesting one from them…

I know this seems like an extra step and maybe you don’t think you need it and can just read from people who haven’t locked their fics. But this isn’t just about you as the reader. If you enjoy fics and you want to keep them coming, this is how you support your favorite writers! If our stats and comments plummet, I guarantee writing is going to start going down as well. Nobody wants that! So please consider making an account and signal boosting this as well! 🙏🏻

**NOTE: AO3 indicates (as of today) there’s 48k some people in the queue for invites and they’re sending out about 5k per day. That’s not a bad wait at all!!**
