Gadget just looked on in confusion as this man continued talking, getting close into his personal space and chatting as if they were long friends. The wolf couldn’t help but wonder how this man had snuck up on him in the middle of a desert, and more importantly, why he left no footprints in the sand.

✵Welcome to the very first explorers-dedicated fanpage!✵
I'm delighted to have a few other fans of the series to share my interest that I've held dear since 2018.
This page will include theories, discussions, reblogs, oc content, (future) fanfiction, art, silly posts and more!
DM me to join the United Explorers' Clubs discord server! (12+)
This fan page is run by a teenager, and will likely have some mature themes on occasion, so if you are a younger fan be aware of that.
My main account is @nyenylon and my reblog account is @nylonnye. I will be reblogging past explorers posts from them. They are not explorer pages.
Feel free to ask any questions you have, I've obsessed over these books for years. Or drop me a DM for conversation!
The content will expand based on any future content introduced to the series.

"ill stop infodumping on my priv twt," i said, "i'll start oc posting on tumblr," i said, like i liar. and by infodump on twt i mean i say a lot of this [in reference to dune]:
anyways. jackal doesnt even know hes a messiah. he doesnt even know that he has saved the desert. he doesnt even know it was prophetical. he doesnt know his importance. he doesnt know the Basilisk he prays to watches over him.
and ohhhhh, dune doesnt even know. dune doesnt know that the man he loves more than anything else in the endless universe is connected to the god he'd abandoned his faith in. he doesnt even know that when he curses the Basilisk for all thats happened that It is looking over jackal, keeping him safe, keeping him alive. he doesnt even know. he will never, ever know.
well, he might, someday. dune knows jackal prays. dune knows jackal has faith. dune hates it, anger swirls in his soul and he wants to shake jackal and tell him, please, please, just put your faith in me - that god had abandoned us and doomed us to this fate, it has doomed you, you have all this responsibility just because it couldn't stop your father and it couldn't have someone else stand up. its unfair. its unfair that it has to be you.
there is a 50/50 chance that they will be separated in the afterlife. jackal already has a place in the Caves, in heaven; it was decided as soon as he was born. dune is not a good person. he doesnt try to be. he is hardened by the world and his anger has melded over all of his other feelings; he has lost hope, in the world and its people. he fears with all his heart that he will be Swallowed, end up in hell, never to see jackal again. its why he despises the Basilisk so much - no matter what dune does, it has the power to separate them
