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

me in 2025, trying desperately to find the three (3) places you need to go to to disable the latest helpful AI assistant that's inserted itself into my work chat and is advising me to do things that would be a breach of federal law: Oh Now I Get It

Y'all ever wonder how Duke Leto would have been with two children fucked up by Spice, the Water of Life and Prescience. Just sat around at breakfast one morning and...

Paul: One of the planets is dissenting. We will have to intercede.

Jessica: I wouldn't worry, you'll figure something out.

Alia: Grandpa Harkonnen says kill them all :)

Duke Leto: ...

Duke Leto: Sweet Orange Catholic Jesus

I saw a meme today that likened the Eras Tour with Paul's 12 year Jihad and it got me thinking...

Did Paul have a fit for every planet? Did he keep on his Stillsuit? I'm just imagining this exchange:

Paul: No, no, no, I said thigh-high boots for Ix, hooded cloaks for Wallach X and fitted combat wear for Geidi Prime. Good Spice, am I the only one who gives a shit about this??? Look at Gurney! He gets it.

Hello dear! Iam Nuha from Gaza-Palestine. Thank you for looking at us with compassion and I ask you to support my campaign to help me achieve my goal.

Please help a family survive through 🙏🌹

You don't understand. The artistry! The Palettes! The serving of Cunt as if their life depended on it!

The Fremen After Paul's fight with Jamis: This kid ain't half bad, he can come home with us

Meanwhile Paul:

People pointing out that Frank Herbert's massive hard on for homophobia prevents any gay pairings in the entire Dune-verse which negates half my memes.

I'm in love with this Dune Poster

FERAL I'M GOING FUCKING FERAL. THE IMAGERY, THE WORLDBUILDING, THE FUCKING VIBES

when they said in Dune that they needed spice for space travel i thought it was used as some sort of fuel but no apparently it's just because your pilot needs to be hight out of his mind to be able to safely navigate big ships into space

Lady Jessica: *holding baby Paul* Say hello to Reverend Mother Mohiam, Paul

Reverend Mother Mohiam:

Reverend Mother Mohiam: Whose goddamn male offspring is that?

TransMasc Paul is something so precious to me because on one hand it makes sense (Water of Life, defiance/compliance of Bene Gesserit ordinance etc.) but also, it would really piss off Frank Herbert.

Paul in Dune prt1 and pre-Water of Life: I'll have your daughter home by 9, sir.

Paul post Water of Life, Dune prt2: Your daughter calls me MUAD'DIB, I'll have her home after our holy war

[the-gom-jabbar]

This is a masterpiece

The whole genetics project of the Bene Gesserit may have been dubbed a failure because Paul wasn't a girl but there was nothing stopping Paul and Feyd-Ruatha acting on that sexual tension they had in both book and film.

Paul could have taken Feyd as a third Consort. Just imagine Paul with his Empress Irulan and his wife Chani sitting at his side and Feyd just sprawled on the dais steps just wearing something scandalous like

You were right Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, wasted potential.

Denis had the ultimate chance to slap some red hair dye on Austin's golden locks, dress him in a slutty corset and leather and put little lipgloss on that full mouth to make him the singular, most cuntiest ginger in the Harkonnen fam but noooo!

Oh absolutely! I mean Villenenvue could have given us the cuntiest Feyd, who reads the room to filth whilst also stabbing his enemies, who is weirded out by his creepy uncle and actively tries to murder him, who is spoiled but just that lil bit loveable. Don't get me wrong, Austin did a good job but Feyd it was not.
