#dune is superior tho

[sungkaan]

If I have a nickel for every time I read/watched a character had a future vision where he committed mass genocide and still chose to do it, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.

#paul atreides #eren yeager #dune #duneposting #aot #dune is superior tho #at least frank herbert had the balls to commit that paul is terrible #isayama just had to redeem eren to please the readers #attack on titan #shingeki no kyojin #snk #gotta go back to reading dune where the author actively encourages you to learn from it through different perspectives #my man literally said reread it on multiple layers -- ecology politics religion philosophy history human evolution and poetry #frank herbert explicitly told his son to reread it in these layers #mad respect for my fav author frank herbert

From the Dull Men's Club on a different Hellsite:

"We've been living in Northern France for ten years now. Before we lived in Southern France, which was after we had been living in - while restorating - an old windmill in Flanders, the working part of Belgium (couldn't unsay that one).

Without searching for it for any reason in particular, the old farm we bought here is located right on the Western Front, German side to be precise.

We learned very fast that the past was very palpable in our new environment. First time we got a glimpse from it was when one of our dogs dug up a piece of what was without any doubt a nice pebble to him, but appeared to be a fragment of a German shell - yes l dug a hole of 4m wide and almost 2m deep to get most of the other parts of that explosive - that's how l got to know who fired it in the first place.

His name was Fritz, Frank or Gunter, probably, maybe Mark, and since he was a fresh new recruit in the herd he fired his howitzer way too short, right behind the lines of his outraged fellow brothers in arms. At least, that's how l imagine the story. l apologize for my lack of evidence tho, despite it looking highly plausible to me.

Whatever, lots of artifacts came out of our ground since - bullets, fragments of pipes, an almost completely rotten away army boot with the nails still in its sole, more shell fragments, shrapnel bullets etc, all sorts of elements from military activity in and around our - probably - completely shot into pieces old farm.

You know, l've got a soft spot for old stories and maps. The National Library of Scotland did an outstanding job by digitizing the so called 'trench maps,' used by the allied forces in their daily struggle on Western Front. They are online, and a pure treasure chest for me, seeing our region with a more than 100 year old eyesight every day a little bit more. Allied trenches, less detailed, in blue, and German trenches, highly detailed, in red.

I'm not a souvenir seeker, l'm not an historian, l'm just a no name witness of something l'll never understand.

About this photo. I took it this morning, and y'all agree there's nothing more dull than a muddy road on a rainy day in an almost featureless landscape.

This is today, but more than a hundred years back this was about a few ten meters behind the first German (attack) trench. If ever the Allied forces managed to cross that trench, a flat zone of about 1000m soaked clay, craters, barbed wire, bodies and gear layed in front of them before they got into what would have been the real hornet nest - a second, extremely well defended trench system located on top of that tiny 'ridge' at the horizon of the picture. Well designed, barbed wire, machine guns, everything, and a whole bunch of cannons in the back country that covered the apocalyptic landscape between both trenches (that yellow dot indicates where the photo was taken, looking south-east).

These tiny ridges - ancient dunes during the glaciations - were the key of the whole Western Front north of the Somme. Strategic advantages in a lowland landscape, they defeated Allied leaders and superiors to throw thousands of young men to it.

This region is literally sprayed with war graves. New houses, residential areas, shopping malls and industrial areas are been built, transforming these fields with their ditches into concrete and bitumen, gradually erasing these tiny details in the landscape that remind us of what once was happening here.

When l got back in my car, track 11 of Phil Collins Best Of cd started playing - l'm a child of the eighties. I love good ol' Phil and every time l put another cd in my player, it stays there for several weeks.

Track 11, can't remember the name of the song, started with bag pipes and drums.

Bagpipes and drums. That's how l'm imagining them, storming the enemy lines.

Lest we forget.

Bart. 48 year old Belgian expat in France."

tag game 🌿✨️🦢

fav movie, hobby, animal, character, colour, place, season, song/album, food

got tagged by the lovely mary @sehnsuchts-trunken thank you so much, this was adorable 💕

i've got a ton of movies, i'd consider favourites, but pride&prejudice (2005) is the one i've probably watched the most times and yet the magic and romance never disappeares.

again, lots of things i enjoy doing, but with autumn coming on, i'm in a knitting mood.

ducks, ducks, ducks!! funny, adorable, paddling feet. need i say more?

aragorn, my beloved. in my head, we're happily married.

green is a superior colour, but especially the green of sun shining through leaves, just so fresh and earthy.

definitely a beach babe. tho i prefer windy grassy dunes over perfect white tropical beaches.

every october, i realise how much i've missed autumn. that late summer/early autumn period is the most magical time of the year. give me books, cups of tea and all the sweaters in the world.

hozier's 'unreal unearth' has been on repeat ever since it was released, its just an all-around perfect album. can't even decide, what's my favourite song, but 'unknown/nth', 'francesca' and 'who we are' are definitely up there.

love love love pasta of all kinds. during my last holiday i had spaghetti alle vongole for the first time, and i still dream of that dish. someone pls take me back.

i'm tagging @pantheraleoatrox, @innocence-lostttttt, @shirebarbie, @witchthewriter and @scyllas-revenge

have fun babes 💕

Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam

oh Lord

who? | only know their name | loathe | ugh | overrated | indifferent | dead | alive | just okay | cute | badass | my baby | hot | want to marry | favorite

... uh i do have very conflicting opinions abt her, but nothing up there fits those. i’m def not indifferent, i started up stanning her manipulative, powerful, shady personna, as is my wont (plus, what can i say, a sci-fi character named Gaius? i have weaknesses), but she ended up not being as smart as all that...

#meme thingie #is any dune character truly likable tho? #so there's that... #uh actually no i love the god emperor Leto II Atreides #he's perf #and philosophically and politically right #also he recognises Bach's superiority to all composers #this is a+ tastes right there #anonymous #answered
