“why would Paul drink the Water of Life, he knows it’s a lethal poison” he’s like… eighteen, maybe nineteen, at the oldest. the surprising thing is that he didn’t try it sooner

#dune #this is mostly a joke #like. he is college-freshman-aged. it’s astounding the sort of restraint he shows in *not* doing stupid bullshit constantly #yeah yeah in the book he ends up drinking the juice that kills you after his prescience getting worse and worse for awhile #he’s all fucked up and in despair about The Horrors and kinda goes. fuck it. guess ill die. or be kwisatz haderach #i just realized how old he was and imagined him doing shots at a college party in a shitty apartment #oh also feyd-rautha is only a yearish older than paul #so imagine two frat boys in a knife fight about the fate of a gigantic empire #marlowe talks dune #im having fun dammit
