love seeing everyone who enjoyed Dune Part 2 saying they've never read Dune Messiah and they'll have to read Dune Messiah. Yall are not ready.
I've read all six books. its an absolute mindfuck freak-show waxing-philosophical eon-sprawling walk in the park gang. Buckle the fuck up and plan to at least also read Children of Dune thank you

Not like I could possibly need another copy of The Great Gatsby, but here we are; it's in the Chiltern collection. The bright-ass shiny pink thing is another journal by Flame Tree, quoting Pride and Prejudice. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is also a Flame Tree edition. I have an old copy of Dune, and I'm trying to find the rest of the series; here's book five. And I have some books by Carl Sagan but not any of his fiction; today I changed that.

You know what should have happened at some point in Dune books 4-6? Ghola Alia Atreides. This would benefit absolutely nobody in the story and probably make things worse, but think of the potential.
The God-Emperor probably wouldn't have allowed/accepted an Alia ghola because y'know. he saw what happened to the original. But the Scattering would be the perfect time for some Tleilaxu to attempt to recreate her, hopefully without the whole Abomination thing. Let's say they succeed. She appears to be a perfectly normal if rather quick child for a long time, until one day she disappears. Oops, looks like she got her memories back, and she hid that from everybody! Now you have an incredibly skilled and cunning young adult with Bene Gesserit skills in a universe that probably still has some cults here and there worshipping her. The Bene Gesserit themselves are also scattered, and the newly-transforming Honoured Matres are being shaped by outside influences. What does she do? Who knows? Does she want to start another Empire under her control? Does she want to be powerful, feared, revered? Or does she want to just finally live in peace? And what about her Other Memories, have they awakened as well?
Maybe she finds Duncan Idaho (number ????) and they run away and travel together, or she turns the Honored Matres into her own society, or she unifies various cults and reforms her base of power, or she just finds a place where no one knows her and she can finally just be accepted. Regardless, it would be interesting.

“Some people never observe anything. Life just happens to them. They get by on little more than a kind of dumb persistence, and they resist with anger and resentment anything that might lift them out of that false serenity.”

Bureaucracy destroys initiative. There is little that bureaucrats hate more than innovation, especially innovation that produces better results than the old routines. Improvements always make those at the top of the heap look inept. Who enjoys appearing inept? -A Guide to Trial and Error in Government, Bene Gesserit Archives

Forces that we cannot understand permeate our universe. We see the shadows of those forces when they are projected upon a screen available to our senses, but understand them we do not… Understanding requires words. Some things cannot be reduced to words. There are things that can only be experienced wordlessly.
— Frank Herbert, Heretics of Dune (Putnam, April 1, 1984) (via Alive on All Channels)
