#Paul Atreides

[5ummit]

We’re Harkonnens. So this is how we’ll survive. By being Harkonnens.

[autismmydearwatson]

Every time I watch Dune I forget about it but I'm foaming at the mouth over how Paul has a vision of himself as a powerful, respected, divine figure with millions worshipping him and he just says "Somebody help me"

Lover! Paul Atreides, who you have wrapped around your finger. 

Protective! Paul Atreides, who wouldn’t hesitate to lock you in his chambers, keeping you chained to his side after the Harkonnen's attack. He doesn’t trust anyone with you, aside from himself.

Sweet! Paul Atreides, who holds you to his chest, only falling asleep when he feels your breathing even out. 

Needy! Paul Atreides who melts the moment he has you wrapped around him, feeling your walls clenching around his cock. 

Needy! Paul Atreides who preens at the praise, begging for more, while your fingers grip onto the back of his neck. 

Needy! Paul Atreides who begs for more when you tease him, moving your hips against his, slowing down, just as he was about to reach his peak. 

Needy! Paul Atreides who can’t hold back and uses the Voice: it’s raspy, and cracked, and bordering on a wail, as he grits out, “Please, p-please, let me cum.” 

Needy! Paul Atreides, who has his face buried in your neck, peppering kisses along your skin, nipping at the marks he left behind, thanking you with broken gasps. 

Needy! Paul Atreides, who’s cock twitches, when you grip his hair, and tug him way from your neck, and he sees your anger at his disobedience.

Needy! Paul Atreides, who promises to never use the Voice again, but as he feels your walls milking him dry, he doesn’t think that promise will last.

I can't stop staring at Feyd-Rautha's walk here and what it implies about his fight with Paul now that I'm able to stop just comparing it to Timothy's killer body work matching it (or vice versa).

Villeneuve takes the book canon, that the Harkonnens took the Atredies's morbid heirlooms of an oil painting of grandfather's death and the bull's head with his blood still dried on his horns to hang above the arena as trophies to the next level: making Feyd-Rautha the victorious young matador with the guards dressed as bull-minotaurs, circling to play banderillos and sink banderillas into the backs of the Atredies bull if it gets too close before the final faena has Feyd-Rautha pulling his opponent past him in the close, intimate passes that show off his athleticism and skill before his false blade is exchanged for the one that will be used for the killing blow and oh my god there are whole schools of thought on coming forward to meet your opponent vs waiting for them and killing with a single blow to the heart and honoring the fight and if anyone who knows how to make gifsets wants make one about this to I'd LOVE to rant more about the breakdown of these two fights and how Feyd is 1001% Matador Machismo but my point to all of this is:

Look at that Sand.

Look at his feet dig deep and kick it up as he strides out into the heart of that arena. Is it a rhythmic walk? Oh yes. Confident. Powerful. In the book this will be his 100th arena kill as he comes of age. This is his natural habitat. Where he learned his skills, for us to parallel with what we saw for Paul in Part 1.

This matters, because it's one of the main premises for why the Fremen are so Good At Fighting. When everyone is trained to fight with shields (stun then slow) and bulky armor, and on flat, solid ground with lots of cover, it's easy to be fast and silent and terrifyingly effective against them. Gurney Halleck is shown to be one of the best fighters in the franchise and the film makes a point of showing how his (recognizable) footsteps are not suited to move quickly, lightly, and with stability on sand like they are on solid ground.

Only... Bullfighting rings aren't sandy. They're fairly hardpacked. Earth for the bull and Matador to maneuver in quickly. There is a layer of albero traditionally layered on top, a chunky yellow clay dirt that serves aesthetics but also absorbs blood quickly. The idea the sand may not be white because... With Giedi Prime who knows?! Is Fantastic.

Paul Muad'Dib became the only Atredies to be recognized as Fremen, to see his father's dream of Desert Power recognized, to fight as Fedaykin, to be recognized as the Mahdi, the One Who Points The Way, and it is made clear to us from the opening words of a Child's History of Muad'Dib that Arrakis was his Home, and yet every major one-on-one duel he had from Jamis to Feyd-Rautha was on solid ground, giving him an advantage that made him respected as a fighter among the Fedaykin right away as part of his training.

Feyd-Rautha was the one Harkonnen who may have learned combat primarily or even exclusively with sand beneath his feet, and he died on Arrakis on the polished stone floors of a palatial residence, still trying to play by Matador rules.

thank u for coming to my Ted Talk

can i just say i love how anytime paul uses his nerd brain to seem like he has preconceived knowledge of how the desert works everyone else is soooo impressed but the one time he tries it on chani with the "🤓☝️ um actually sandwalking is-" she just kills him with her eyes until he shuts the fuck up

jessica found paul's hand, pulled him gently. " we must not get separated, " she said.

What are you afraid of? Worship, Gurney.

All Paul Atreides Edition, Ultimate Disaster Human:

[atreidesism]

chani’s anguish when she shouts “you’re insane” at stilgar because the love of her life just died. paul just died and all people care about is the lisan al gaib, some story made up to manipulate her people and her life. she doesn’t care about putting faith in some story because all her faith was in herself and the people around her, including paul. and they killed her faith. they killed part of her by forcing her to ressurect the man she was mourning. everyone cares about the lisan al gaib but chani cares about paul and that was used against her like a weapon
