Me after playing many hours of Dune Awakening

[i-blame-my-mother]

The funniest part of playing Dune Awakening and having Shai-Hulud gobble me up like a Reese's Piece was waking up in the Spice Shadow Realm and having some sort of cosmic spirit greet me like "oh wow! You got ate by Shai Hulud, but somehow you get to go back to the living world! You must be God's Favorite Moron! Next time be better at crossing the desert, idiot! Anyway to teach you a lesson the worm is keeping your money and your clothes"

Star Wars Headcannon (part 1):

Luke Skywalkers light saber style is like 86% force, 10% actual lightsaber forms, and 4% drama. I mean he was trained by Obi Wan for like a few days max and then all of his other training was Yoda. His fighting style has to be just like….vibes.

I can imagine force ghost Anakin laughing manically at his son doing the most ape shit crazy stuff with his lightsaber and Obi-wan’s force ghost is just facepalming in the background.

But seriously how terrifying would Luke Skywalker be. The order Jedi would be like, oh what a good Jedi with his blonde hair and smile. Then he just rockets his lightsaber through someone’s chest using the force.

He just runs around throwing stuff and crushing things and then turning around and being like, “y’all doing okay?” Like the good farm boy he is.

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda

Ea-Nasir Ibn Lal-Khaifa...

Even thousands of years in the Distant Spacefuture, wherein Humanity unlocks interstellar travel by getting blitzed out of its mind on Space Dust, there's always a motherfucker trying to shaft an honest merchant with exorbitant copper prices...

Incidentally, I think someone at Funcom is aware of the Ea-Nasir meme.

Translation:

To all scrappers, miners and prospectors!

There's money to be made in offering copper to the Griffin's March market.

PLEASE NOTE: due to previous unpleasant experiences, payment will only be processed once the requested amount has been delivered in full. Haggling, payment plans or promisory payments will not be accepted! If these terms don't satisfy you, you can thank our friend Nasir!

(PS: You still owe me a shipment of quality copper ore, Nasir!)

try as they might, and they will try, they will never successfully franchise-ify dune. there's twenty four books. there's six books. four of them are good. the four good ones are good because every plotline is attached to three separate subplots all intertwined in a delicate braid. if you remove any plotline the whole thing collapses. every character has a mirror and a counterpart and a narrative foil. dune family trees look like the back of a tapestry. the final line of the first book is about how being a concubine is good actually. dune adaptations are not supposed to be marvel movie posters filled with actors you recognise, every character should be played by some unknown little freak. the longer the series goes on the more it becomes about politics and economics. about 40% of each book is internal monologue. at its core it's space wizards versus bdsm warriors on cocaine planet and trying to deny that is rank cowardice.

LEO XIV HAS DECLARED BUTLERIAN JIHAD

me as a kid reading Dune: I appreciate the detailed world-building that justifies why everyone fights with swords and has mental powers, but the idea of a Butlerian Jihad against computers is pretty silly

TW: Pedophilia

Teenagers are rarely taught the reason why they can't consent to sex with adults.

And that's because teaching them that would completely unravel our coercion-based society.

It can be difficult to explain in detail the exact reason and all the specifics in a way that they will understand. But the simplest way to phrase it is that in some cases, even when someone agrees to something and even when they appear enthusiastic about it, there's too much of a power imbalance that it's no different than forcing them. Also, having power and being abusive doesn't require a conscious expectation to be obeyed.

Imagine a world in which every teenager understood that and was easily able to call out anyone who tried to convince them otherwise.

They'd know that there's no such thing as an employee consenting to working for a poverty wage, working in unsafe conditions, working long hours, or working without taking breaks. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to paying a bank overdraft fee. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to student loan debt. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to medical bills. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to generating profit for banks or landlords in order to have a place to live and being evicted or foreclosed when you lose your source of income. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to a police search. They'd know that there's no such thing as a child who's okay with their parents spanking them. They'd know that being dependent on someone does not mean that you can never criticize them. They'd know that if it's considered abusive to simply play along when someone obeys, then it has to be much more abusive to actively expect to be obeyed, which many adults do to them.

And people who benefit from a society based on coercion masquerading as freedom wouldn't like that.

So instead, teenagers are taught something dismissive. They're taught that what they want doesn't matter. They're taught that they're too young to know what love is. They're taught "it's the law". They're taught things that are insulting to their intelligence, which they'll naturally rebel against.

/ She could feel the choking, discordant, silent screams of the Choir, scrabbling for purchase. "It's dead. It can't hurt me," she prays to herself.

"Sinners clutch to blindfolds of their denial // Grasping fleeting flailing within one's soul // Too late you have come to embrace the all," the Choir replied as it takes her hand. There is no more. //

Ya know what’s kinda cool about Dr.Doofenschmirtz? NONE of his tragic backstories had ANYTHING to do with his ex-wife Charlene.

Because let’s get real here, Heinz had it out for a LOT of people who screwed him over, from Hot Dog salesmen, to baking soda volcanoes, yet in NO episode in the series did he ever say ANYTHING negative or acrimonious about his ex-wife. Never tried to screw her over, never battled her for more custody of Vanessa, he respected her dearly and never saw her as an antagonist, just someone he grew apart from emotionally. GRANTED he still bled her dry with alimony checks, but hey she’s loaded and she didn’t seem to mind.
