Feyd Rautha sketches study time, and (one) pissed off Emperor Paul
I was trying to stylize him, and some of the sketches are 100% my own, a couple are from expression sheets, and a few (especially bottom right) are done while looking at Marcille drawn by @/vickychendraws in their comic.

You can tell how deeply fucked SW is as a franchise from this. They've faked out so many deaths, and played with so many "weak hints", that unless fans see a skeleton piled in dirt they are not dead. If you don't see a head explode they aren't dead. Even another character calling them dead doesn't cut it.
And so the fans fully failed to grasp the emotional impact of Tech's death, because all the hints were there that he was used as a brainwashed soldier. The show winked at us and introduced these by the numbers faceless characters and we held our breath because SW just doesn't know how to kill anyone any more.
And now the show's over, Tech's been dead a whole season and nobody believed in it.
Lame ass looser shit. Hire good writers maybe sometime Disney. Kid shows don't have to pander to the lowest 5yo denominator to be good.
whoever decided to turn daisy bell into a spooky dookie creepypasta song is fucking evil. that computer was brave enough to sing us a delightful little song and you do THIS to him? thats hatsune mikus grandpa dude. fuck you
One small but extremely annoying effect of Tech Modernization or w/e is how UI contrast is garbage anymore, especially just, like, application windows in general.
"Ooh our scrollbar expands when you mouse over it! Or does it? Only you can know by sitting there like an idiot for 3 seconds waiting for it to expand, only to move your cursor away just as it does so!" or Discord's even more excellent "scrollbar is 2 shades off of the background color and is one (1) pixel wide" fuck OFF
I tried to move a system window around yesterday and had to click 3 times before I got the half of the upper bar that let me drag it. Why are there two separate bars with absolutely nothing to visually differentiate them on that.
"Well if you look closely-" I should not!! have to squint!!! at the screen for a minute straight to detect basic UI elements!! Not mention how ableist this shit is, and for what? ~✨Aesthetic✨~?
and then every website and app imitates this but in different ways so everything is consistently dogshit to try to use but not always in ways you can immediately grok it's!!!! terrible!!!! just put lines on things again I'm begging you!!!!
when you're sick you're either a prince moder or a dog moder. prince moding is when you demand many little treats, drinks etc. i personally prefer to drag myself off to a secluded corner to either die or recover, aka dog moding
One aspect of the story of Dune that the movies don't make super clear is that, before Paul, the Fremen already had a central leader figure in Liet Kynes. In the book, Kynes has a generations-long plan to gather enough water to transform the environment of Dune (this is why the Fremen have those big pools, they never get super clear about that), then retake the planet for the Fremen and create paradise. Paul showing up and then leaning into the whole Lisan al-Gaib bit pretty much directly gets Kynes killed, creating a power vacuum into which he assumes himself with the aid of his previously-unheard-of levels of white privilege. While Kynes was an ecologist, however, Paul comes from a family of colonial military aristocrats. All Paul can offer the Fremen is all he understands: revenge. Bloody revenge for everything they've endured in centuries of oppression by the Imperium, temporarily in line with the revenge he craves for the Imperium's attempts to control him and his family, and spiritually in line with the resentment built up all across this socially stagnant feudal space empire.
paul, late at night: hey chani would you love me if i was a worm
chani, whose dad was an ecologist: well, worm brains don't always produce hormones to induce love. a better question would be whether or not you would love me if you were a worm.
paul, who keeps having worrying visions of a worm-man hybrid: don't play with me right now please just answer the question-
HOW CAN I READ ANY OTHER FEYDPAUL OR WRITE MY OWN AFTER READING THIS QUINTESSENTIAL, CORNER TEXT? The Usul of smutty feydpaul, the base of the pillar, carrying us all to paradise!!!!
Anyway i recommend this fic
“Cousin,” came Feyd’s rasping voice at last. He smiled as he spoke, all black, near-invisible teeth, but there was anger in it, and beneath it all, that same strange awe. “Are we blood, truly? Not even the lowliest Harkonnen slave would leave their enemy alive.”
-
Paul decides Feyd is more valuable alive than dead.
I can’t read fics with child Kylo Ren in at all cause every time he’s mentioned I just picture a really condensed version of Adam Driver and he looks like a minecraft block
