so within the universe of Dune, gender roles abide by a rigid false dichotomy created by the bene gesserit - men lead the noble houses, while the women may join their order, and the powers of both are kept intentionally separate. at the same time, the plot demonstrates repeatedly that the role of paul atreides as a character is that of the border between the concepts juxtaposed within dichotomies: he is both an outerworlder and fremen, both harkonnen and atreides, both a duke and a disciple of the bene gesserit.

as such, it follows that within the in-universe gender structure, he occupies the roles of both male and female, thus being functionally and societally nonbinary. in this essay, i will -

#dune #paul atreides #diversity win! this aspiring space dictator is nonbinary #dune 2024 #atreides #bene gesserit #gender lens #dune meta #this is probably very obvious and already talked about but i had to get it out #i think it's also supported by the original intent behind his birth. as in he was supposed to be a girl etc #gender roles #worldbuilding

I cannot stop thinking how House Atreides has really died with Leto. All the inhibitions from Lady Jessica’s hunger for power and passion were removed and she truly became her father’s daughter. The further Paul was from the times his father was guiding him, the more he leaned into anger and cruelty. Reverend Mother Mohiam doomed them all when she advised to wipe out that line. Atreides and Harkonnen were supposed to balance each other, and her fear of Atreides incomplacency lead to full loss of control. Maybe Lady Jessica and Leto actually made someone who’d be able to become a saviour, but everyone who was involved in the making of the saviour has fucked him up beyond recognition - because the balance was lost.

And on this note, I can’t stop thinking about how Feyd-Rautha and Paul are really meant to be for peace; war is a result of many centuries of a feud between their houses, and an alliance - a union of resources, mind you - would change the political landscape in the universe. Sure, it makes sense why House Corrino fuiled that rivalry, because such alliance would drastically shift the power dynamics in the Lanstraad.

And it doesn’t matter if Paul, or Feyd-Rautha, or their offspring would become Kvizats Haderach - an all-knowing being would rise to the throne and elevate Fremen with less blood then a desert prophet if they had this power.

But Jessica is her mothers’s daughter because she seeks power before purpose, and is her father’s daughter because she doesn’t care about the cost of power, so; their love story with Leto could be described as something you would leave as a warning on a nuclear waste site: love was there. It didn’t save anyone. On every chance it could save us, love only lead to more destruction.

The whole genetics project of the Bene Gesserit may have been dubbed a failure because Paul wasn't a girl but there was nothing stopping Paul and Feyd-Ruatha acting on that sexual tension they had in both book and film.

Paul could have taken Feyd as a third Consort. Just imagine Paul with his Empress Irulan and his wife Chani sitting at his side and Feyd just sprawled on the dais steps just wearing something scandalous like

You were right Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, wasted potential.

#I mean Paul could have taken Feyd as a third consort #The Imperial Quad #Irulan could write Chani could be Paul's actual spouse #Feyd could just lounge around Arrakeen or Kaitan just looking pretty and doing whatever he wanted #Feyd would get jealous of course #dune #paul atreides #dune 2021 #dune memes #dune messiah #frank herbert #children of dune #chapterhouse: dune #duncan idaho #god emperor of dune #feyd rautha #paul x feyd rautha #feyd rautha harkonnen #house harkonnen #house atriedes #house corrino #frank herbert's dune #reverend mother mohaim #Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam #Bene Gesserit #dune part two #dune part ii #Dune 2

Yo forgive the fact that i recorded this on an iphone in an amc, but can we like… discuss for a second

Feyd-Rautha, if he had a single second to live, would’ve started making out with Paul. This man has never been turned on more in his fucking life then fighting his predestined Cousin-Soulmate over who gets to be the Father of the Kwisach Haderach

You know he was pissed as fuck that Jessica ruined the plan. Man would’ve been SO HYPE to make Super Messiah Babies with Paul(ine)

Paul has subsumed an essential part of Feyd-Rautha #like jamis #Feyd will always be with paul now #just like if Feyd won he would start saying ‘may thy knife chip and shatter’ #they’re soulmates your honor #are they happy? #the jury is still out #paul x feyd #paul atredies x Feyd-Rautha Harkonen

Dune Part Two Spoilers…

So like…When Paul silenced the Reverend Mother and she fell back with the force of it and just whispered in horrified shock “Abomination” …

Did anyone else clock Lady Jessica’s reaction and face (The instant snap of the head glare with anger and indignation) and then go home and research Dune lore bc you haven’t read the books and discover that ‘abomination’ means something very specific to the Bene Gesserit and isn’t a word a Reverend Mother would throw out lightly?
