me when there's a poligamy subplot where the younger wife is evil and is planning to take the husband's affections from the faithful older wife so she can ruin the husband and take away his riches : hmph this is so fucking misogynistic. the older wife should have just run but she's too stupid. i hope the evil wife succeeds. i support women's wrongs #girlboss

me when the plot happens exactly the same way but its in a scifi novel written by a homophobic dude in the 60s : wow! brilliant writing. i love imperial court drama.

#this is about dune btw #and for the record #i hate that the subplot with princess irulan wanting to found the heir exists #BUT #this is the first time i sympathize with the good wife instead of the scheming girlboss #tbf the good wife is a warrior in her own right #and she doesnt patiently beg god to keep her strong while her husband is being abusive #chani stayed that long because her husband do loves her. if paul treats her horribly she'd just leave #btw why im way too familiar with poligamy subplot? im indonesian and my mom used to love watching soap operas #dune
