truly God bless Denis Villeneuve for coming along and rubbing his dirty little liberal leftie hands all over Frank Hebert's legacy. Outstanding.

"When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movement become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thought of obstacles and forget that a precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until its too late."

I am slowly digesting the audiobook version of Dune 1 by Frank Hebert and it is truly amazing, both the narration and the writing. Shame on me, for eluding the book for so long. (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)

This very last paragraph of Chapter 3 makes me feel a rare humane and soft side of the Reverend Mother and gives a subtle hint of the true mother of Lady Jessica. I am aware that the identity of Lady Jessica’s mother has been debated following the alleged “notes” from Frank Hebert but this paragraph could be supporting evidence.

The RM may have had a tough time with the Gom Jabbar trial with Paul, knowing all too well the path lies ahead for the Atreides. For her blood daughter and grandson. Still, as the RM said earlier in this same chapter:

“Jessica, girl, I wish I could stand in your place and take your sufferings. But each of us must make her own path.”

“I know.”

“You’re as dear to me as any of my own daughters, but I cannot let that interfere with duty.”

Duty. What a heavy word. The four-letter word that seems to drive all of the characters crazy in the spiral of control and vengeance （−＿−；）

have you read Dune?

I had a major Dune phase when I was a teenager and read all six original books plus The Dune Encyclopedia at least twice over. I even tracked down a copy of the short story collection Eye which had The Road to Dune in it. I reread the first four again in my twenties but couldn't bring myself to read Heretics and Charterhouse again. There's this phenomenon that happens to a lot of sci-fi authors as they age where they just keep getting hornier and eventually they're putting phrases like "hard slap of his ejaculation" and writing scenes involving space nuns fucking underage boys to unlock past life memories in their novels. Which by that point are really just thinly veiled explorations of the author's psychosexual neuroses. The first four still hold up for me though, especially Dune Messiah and God Emperor of Dune.

I also read the six Brian Hebert and Kevin J. Anderson prequels that had been published by the time I was into the series and hated them. I never bothered reading the two sequel books they wrote which are supposedly based on Frank Herbert's and are intended to stand as the conclusion to the original novels, because after reading a brief synopsis and thinking that they sounded like the stupidest fucking thing I'd ever heard, I decided it'd be a waste of time. All their books are just absolute dogshit, completely fucking awful, and would you believe they've written another nine fucking prequel novels since then? Who is reading these books? The overwhelming consensus is that they're terrible, most fans don't even consider them canon. So who the fuck is buying them?

I have no idea.

Warning : not very coherent

I so badly wanted the slow extinction of fremen culture in dune messiah and children of dune to be an examination on how the colonial rule destroy indigenous way of life and fuck up the local ecosystem causing untold damages for the sake of "modern development" when its actually just a mindless chase for profits. But I know its not. There were some bit of writing that pointed in that direction (how terraforming destroys the habitat of desert animals, especially the worms, gradual loss of knowledge on water discipline, how riding the sandworms becomes rarer and rarer) but overall, it doesnt seem like its what frank hebert actually wanted to say.

From the first book, the fremen is seen as 'noble' or special because the harsh conditions of Arrakis made them into a society of honor with the strength and battle prowess that rivaled the sardaukar. The sardaukars were defeated by them because they've gotten too confident and comfortable from constantly winning. In dune messiah, we see the fremen slowly undergoing through the same thing as their planet becomes less harsh. The fact was regularly noted by people who went through the sietch days and somehow, its all they care about. Feeling resentment over how the new generations are weak and waterfat. Cultural things like music, communal gatherings, camaraderie, were all treated like a footnote. There was a scene in dune messiah where a veteran, Farok was complaining about living in suburban houses instead of the caves. IRL, suburban houses on a desert climate took so much to maintain. It's expensive. It wastes water, power that are currently sourced by burning fossil fuels, and it kills the local ecosystem. It also promotes loneliness because people are separated in tiny family units. There is a lot of plot potential in there. But in the book, its merely a rant that describes how Farok wanted the old ways without specifying why and how it was better for him and fremen as a whole. Meanwhile in dune it was specified how awful living in the old days are. And then of course, a part of why Paul had his downfall was because the fremen thinks its disappointing that theyre not brutal savages trained by the desert and a fear of the shai-hulud anymore

It's a wasted opportunity! The book wants you to believe the old ways of the fremen are better, but all it focuses on is how better living conditions makes them soft. They resent not sacrificing virgins and leaving blind people to die. The things they lost that the book narratively cares about is the things that aids the Atreides and their empire, not the things that makes the fremen who they are (communal living in the sietch, solidarity, appreciation for the environment).

Despite being glorified, the fremen is not treated like people. Their way of life is universally seen as best for the planet, but there is no sincere examination on why it actually works for the fremen. And the book suffers because of it. In the end, the fremen is merely a placeholder for frank hebert to spout his weird beliefs about survival of the fittest instead of a story about indigenous culture. My friend, you were so close but you missed it!

Book review: Dune saga by Frank Hebert

Rating:

Dune - 4⭐️

Dune Messiah - 4⭐️

Children of Dune - 3⭐️

God Emperor Of Dune - 2⭐

Heretics of Dune - 1,5⭐

Chapterhouse: Dune - 1⭐

Well guys this was a heavy read (pun intended) and I'll say right now it's not for everybody. In a super complex sci-fi world we have politics, religion, corruption, very advanced technology, and powers that work very differently than what you normally see.

Yet we have dense writing, with lots of description, and very slow pacing. The story is a bit abstract, to the point of challenging our power of concentration. I found myself taking a lot of breaks when reading these books, and resorted to audiobooks to help me finish the story. It's not that I was bored, but I must say it was a pain in my ass to read them, despite the spectacular world Frank has created.

About the second trilogy...

I bet you are wondering why the bad rating…. Well guys I wasn’t expecting how the story from the first trilogy transformed into what I’ve read in the second trilogy.

It seemed like Frank found out what the business of the G-spot is all about and I sincerely think that’s what he saw on the golden path (someone pls share what he was smoking) because wtf did I just read? The worst written sex scene in human history that’s for sure. So many monologues that one lost interest. The plot between the Mother Superial and Honored Matre felt cyclical and that it was going nowhere.

Maybe the meaning behind the last two books were lost to me and I didn’t understand (which I’ll only have myself to blame), but seriously I was lost with the last two books.

"Jessica vide la scrollata di spalle, e pensò: Questa é l'epoca delle scrollate di spalle. Lui sa che io sono al corrente di tutte le storie sul suo conto e non gliene importa niente. La nostra civiltà potrebbe benissimo morire d'indifferenza, al suo interno, prima di soccombere ad un attacco da fuori."

My New Year's Resolutions

Well, 2023 is finally here. And a new year marks a time for fresh new beginnings and another chance to grow and achieve new goals.

As for me, I want to undergo a lot more positive changes this year since I’ll be based in Europe from now on; so I’ve set these goals for myself and I want to achieve them in the order I list them.

1. Pass my driver’s test (theory & practical).

2. Start a healthy routine and maintain it for the first 3 to 6 months, AT LEAST.

2. Get accepted for at least one new job.

3. Start and finish Frank Hebert’s Dune saga and other books.

4. Get my Cambridge Celta Teaching certificate by May.

5. Get enrolled in a Journalism Master’s degree course so that I can get my 2nd degree.

6. Finally set up my home PC office/game room set with microphones.

7. Read more manga and probably cut down on weekly seasonal shows (I’ll probably just binge going forward unless it’s something everyone is talking about).

8. Start that Youtube Content/Hobby channel and do a collab with at least 2 friends online/Revive my old film blog and transfer & re-edit some old posts to said blog.

9. Interact with my Tumblr mutuals a bit more.

10. Destroy Christmas decorations in the middle of nowhere.

I think that about covers my serious and casual goals for the year. If there’s a chance that I might not be as active on Kitsu, then I’ll try to be more active and talkative on other platforms like Discord or Tumblr if you guys still wanna chat about stuff. But what are your goals for this year?

“Think of it as plastic memory, this force within you which trends you and your fellows toward tribal forms. This plastic memory seeks to return to its ancient shape, the tribal society. It is all around you—the feudatory, the diocese, the corporation, the platoon, the sports club, the dance troupes, the rebel cell, the planning council, the prayer group . . . each with its master and servants, its host and parasites. And the swarms of alienating devices (including these very words!) tend eventually to be enlisted in the argument for a return to “those better times.” I despair of teaching you other ways. You have square thoughts which resist circles.”~ Frank Hebert, God Emperor of Dune

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
