@intcthatgoodnight asked: i found my own way to it. you might find yours. (from leto)
Paul stood in the shadow of his father, the words lingering in the air between them like the faint hum of a shield generator. Paul's jaw tightened, a gesture his father might mistake for defiance, but it was not that—not entirely. The weight of Leto’s gaze was steady, calm, yet layered with something Paul could not yet name. Respect? Expectation?
He searched his father's face for clarity, finding instead the well-worn stoicism that so often masked the Duke’s emotions. Paul felt a flicker of frustration rise within him. Did Leto truly believe Paul’s way would simply reveal itself, as if destiny could be unraveled like a spice-laden desert wind? “And what if I don’t?” Paul’s voice was quieter than he intended, but the edge in it was clear. He looked down at his boots, sand still clinging to the edges where the dunes had claimed him earlier that day. “What if I fail to find a way at all?”
As Paul stared into his father’s eyes, a deeper understanding began to stir. The path would not be given to him. It would not be clear, nor would it be easy.

DUNE (2021) PROMPTS * assorted dialogue from the film, adjust as necessary. suggested by lalamoon
it's good you're up early.
why do we have to go through all this, when it's already been decided?
if you want it, make me give it to you.
you look tired. more dreams?
there is no call we do not answer.
you put on muscle!
i would like you to take me with you.
can i trust you with something?
so you dreamed about stuff we all know about.
i dreamt about you.
i saw you lying dead, fallen in battle.
dreams make good stories, but everything important happens while we're awake.
i wish we could bring them all with us.
you don't think we'll ever come back?
i understand your impatience.
great leaders are raised in the mud, not around tables.
don't throw my words back at me.
i told my father i didn't want this either.
a good man doesn't seek to lead. he's called to it, and he answers.
i found my own way to it. you might find yours.
we have to be ready for anything.
don't stand with your back to the door.
i guess i'm not in the mood today.
you fight when the necessity arises, no matter your mood.
i have you.
will it be that bad?
you don't really understand the grave nature of what's happening to us.
the last of our ships have left.
to break a virtuous man, give him a burden too heavy to bear. a lesser man would drop it, but a good man will carry it 'til it crushes him.
get dressed and come with me.
what's in the box?
i must not fear. fear is the mind killer.
an animal caught in a trap will gnaw off its own leg to escape.
i will face my fear.
tell me about these dreams.
do you dream things that happen just as your dreamed them?
i could have died.
how does it feel to walk on another world?
how are you, old friend?
they were pointing at us. what are they shouting?
let's get you out of the sun.
if you mean to harm me, i warn you. whatever you're hiding won't be enough.
treat them well. these are friends.
i have so much to tell you.
that is all i have to say to you.
wait 'til you see. it's beautiful out there.
you're out of your mind! we're not going out there!
i knew you couldn't stay the hell away.
legend is a pretty word for a lie.
i think you're afraid it might be true.
how can i make my way if my destiny was written before i was born?
you have to sleep.
why not just cut their throats?
don't you dare touch my mother!
it's not safe for you here.
you're not coming with us?
one move and you die.
i would not have let you hurt my friends.
you chose the hardest way up.
i will not have them.
this will be an honor for you to die holding it.
this world will kill you.
do you yield?
this is only the beginning.

DUNE: PART TWO (2024) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ This world is beyond cruelty. ❜
❛ Never stand with your back towards the open. How many times do I have to tell you that, huh? ❜
❛ Don’t worry. I’m taking you somewhere they will never find us. ❜
❛ You fought well… once you woke up. ❜
❛ He thinks you’re spies. ❜
❛ Your faith is playing tricks on you. ❜
❛ I’m ready to pledge my life for him. ❜
❛ Your father didn’t believe in revenge. ❜
❛ Don’t mock him. He deserves our respect. He’s a good fighter. ❜
❛ Never give your water away, not even for the dead. ❜
❛ It’s an honor, isn’t it? I think you should feel honored. ❜
❛ Well, it was a choice between this or death, so, you know, forgive me if I’m not flattered. ❜
❛ You want to control people, you tell them a messiah will come. Then they’ll wait for centuries. ❜
❛ That was no miracle! ❜
❛ I’m not here to lead. I’m here to learn your ways. Let me fight beside you. That’s all I’m asking. ❜
❛ You will see! The beauty and the horror! ❜
❛ Oh! Don’t ever, ever listen to the jinn. ❜
❛ He’s not like the other strangers. He’s sincere. ❜
❛ You know, I’m the only one who believes you’re gonna make it until summer? Everyone else thinks you won’t make it two weeks. ❜
❛ What? Stop looking at me like that. ❜
❛ We must convert the non-believers one by one. We need to start with the weaker ones. The vulnerable ones. The ones who fear us. ❜
❛ Who taught you to fight like that? ❜
❛ We can stop them together, bury them in the sand where they belong. ❜
❛ Then I’ll die, maybe you will too. But the others will keep going. And they won’t stop. ❜
❛ Where you’re from, does water really fall from the sky? ❜
❛ Your blood comes from Dukes and Great Houses. We don’t have that here. Here, we’re equal, men and women alike. What we do, we do for the benefit of all. ❜
❛ Well, I’d very much like to be equal to you. ❜
❛ It’s been a while since you’ve had one of those nightmares. Tell me, what was it about? ❜
❛ You’ve been exposed to spice for a long time. It can create weird dreams. ❜
❛ Don’t try to impress anyone. You are brave. We all know that. Be simple. Be direct. Nothing fancy. ❜
❛ I won’t shame you. I understand. ❜
❛ The way they look at you. They worship you now. ❜
❛ I’m no messiah. ❜
❛ She says you’re blinded by love, and she reminds you that you must reserve your hand for the most strategic alliance. ❜
❛ Do you not think I also feel the weight of the prophecy? ❜
❛ They deserve to be led by one of their own. ❜
❛ Repression only makes a religion flourish. ❜
❛ You underestimate the power of faith. ❜
❛ Prophets get stronger when they die. ❜
❛ You’d be a formidable empress. ❜
❛ Then what hope is there? ❜
❛ Hope? We don’t hope, we plan. ❜
❛ The question is, can we control him? And I intend to find out. ❜
❛ I won’t die like a fool. Kill me now. ❜
❛ No fear. These fights are all for show. ❜
❛ Show me who you are. ❜
❛ This morning you were a playboy, feared and envied, but tonight you’re a hero. ❜
❛ You’re following me. ❜
❛ You’re not allowed in this section. How did you get past the guards? ❜
❛ I remember now. I dreamed about you last night. ❜
❛ Come to me. Kneel. ❜
❛ I recognized your footsteps, old man. ❜
❛ When our resources are limited…fear is all we have. ❜
❛ Well, what are you waiting for? With thousands of these guys, you could take control of the entire planet. ❜
❛ They used to be friends. Now they’re followers. ❜
❛ You have the power to avenge your father, and you’re afraid to use it? ❜
❛ I can foresee things. If I go South, all my visions lead to horror. ❜
❛ Billions of corpses scattered across the galaxy. All dying because of me. ❜
❛ No need to be a prophet to see what’s ahead. ❜
❛ Your path leads to war. You know that. ❜
❛ So, war is coming. What will you do when you feel its breath upon your neck? ❜
❛ He who can destroy a thing has the real control of it. ❜
❛ You promised me you didn’t want power. ❜
❛ No matter what I do, you still don’t trust me. ❜
❛ My allegiance is to you. I’m doing this for all of us. Do you believe me? ❜
❛ It’s right under everybody’s noses. Not clever. ❜
❛ That’s the idea. Nobody would ever look in there because it’s obvious. ❜
❛ Nothing can live there without faith. ❜
❛ I want to go on the ground. Prepare my troops. ❜
❛ You humiliated our family. You humiliated me. ❜
❛ Embarrass our family one more time… it will be the last. ❜
❛ It is a good time to cross blades with me. I am weak. I am an easy kill. ❜
❛ I don’t care what you believe. I believe. ❜
❛ I’ll stay behind and cover your retreat. ❜
❛ You see only fragments. You cannot see the future without seeing the past. ❜
❛ To unlock your mind, you need to drink the Water of Life… and you will see everything. ❜
❛ A good hunter always climbs the highest dune before his hunt. He needs to see… as far as he can see. ❜
❛ The world has made choices for us. ❜
❛ You will never lose me. Not as long as you stay who you are. ❜
❛ You are not prepared for what is to come. ❜
❛ You’ll now learn the truth about our family. And it will hurt you to the core. ❜
❛ His vital signs are so low, they can’t be detected. But he’s alive. ❜
❛ You might not believe in the prophecy, but you’re a part of it. ❜
❛ You’re the poison. You and your lies. Why would you do this? ❜
❛ The visions are clear now. I see possible futures. All at once. ❜
❛ Our enemies are all around us. And in so many futures, they prevail. But I do see a way. ❜
❛You can stop this. Do you hear me? You have the power to stop this.
❛ This prophecy is how they enslave us! ❜
❛ You think I’m stupid enough to deprive myself of the best of us? Do you smash a knife before battle? ❜
❛ There is no one in this room who can stand against me! ❜
❛ This could be the moment you’ve been praying for all your life. ❜
❛ But there is one way your family can remain in power and, through you, the continuation of our stewardship. One. Way. Are you prepared? ❜
❛ You’ve been preparing me my whole life. ❜
❛ Long live the fighters! ❜
❛ I swear to you, I wasn’t aware of any of this. ❜
❛ You die like an animal. ❜
❛ Look who’s back from the dead. ❜
❛ I want you to know… I will love you as long as I breathe. ❜
❛ They may be curious to hear my side of the story, don’t you think? ❜
❛ Consider what you’re about to do. ❜
❛ You’ll be lucky to keep your head. ❜
❛ I’ll take the hand of your daughter. She will remain safe. And we will rule together over the Empire. ❜
❛ Do you know why I killed him? Because he was a man who believed in the rules of the heart. But the heart is not meant to rule. ❜
❛ Stand or choose your champion. ❜
❛ Do not stain your hands on this animal. Let me deal with him. ❜
❛ Why does he take such risks? ❜
❛ Well, you wouldn’t be the first relative I’ve killed. ❜
❛ May thy knife chip and shatter. ❜
❛ You have fought well. ❜
❛ You should’ve believed. You chose the wrong side.❜
❛ You, of all people, should know. There are no sides. ❜
❛ Spare my father now and I will be your willing bride. The throne will be yours. ❜
❛ They refuse to honor your ascendancy. ❜
❛ Lead them to Paradise. ❜

"Whose hands should they be, then? Yours? It is my birthright. You wear colors of a house, and so do I. Atreides was building something for Qarth, and the fremen of the Desert have spoken. They will not accept you or anyone else as their leader." He is their messiah, their leader, the one who will bring a green paradise to the red sea. He will make sure of it. He had seen it. Eyes look to the side to his mother, who stands with all the poise that comes from being trained from birth for one purpose. And she placed him on this path. "If I wished your death, Your Grace, it would be through tradition. Trial by Combat, or until one party yields. House Atreides are born warriors. But my mother offered me a new path and a birthright. I am no maegi or warlock. Would you call yourself one because of the dreams you have? Or surviving a fire pyre?" Paul speaks in turn.
He is beyond the simple conventions of what a maegi can or cannot do. In that he takes pride. She is now at his level but he does nothing to strike. One does not need hands to kill, if he wanted. "Yes. Qarth will not remain in chains, it was my father's wish to unite the people of the walls with the fremen of the Desert. I intend to do so, and go beyond. A dream your ancestors had but were greedy to keep. Qarth will be joined by the Three Daughters, I have seen it in my dreams." A holy war, but also, an Empire on his name. He too sees the Targaryen name on the Throne but there is so much blood on both. But he is willing to do what he must.
"I would offer you a marriage proposal, of course. But I believe you had plenty of those. And three is the number of your house." Three are going to be her chances. Two husbands already, perhaps one more. Three dragons, she was the last of three siblings. Paul offers a small in turn. "Regardless, plenty of princesses in other cities. But I offer my aid in your path to your throne. And guidance toward your dreams, Your Grace. Dangerous it is, you do not know how to interpret them."
ㅤㅤㅤDAENERYS IS NOT A WOMAN EASILY SHAKEN AFTER ALL SHE HAS ENDURED, but the sudden eruption of that voice from him causes her eyes to widen, a cacophany of magic and sound as horrid as it is intriguing. It is a dark and powerful thing he bears, whatever magic this is. For a moment, she forgets he is a guest, not some invading warlock, hesitant before she raises a hand to settle the Unsullied guards around her, who seem to see this man as a threat to their queen. Oh, he very much is, that much is certain. But most that come to her in Meereen only come to bring her more war in one form or another, and he offers guidance instead. Qarth has already named her an enemy, intent to join with Astapor, Yunkai, and Volantis to protect its institutions of slavery and subjugation, and it would indeed be in her best interest to dismantle the corruption of the city that challenges her now. ❝ I heard there was trouble among the Pureborn in Qarth. I did not realize they would be so cannibalistic to their own. ❞
ㅤㅤㅤHow monstrous it is, to seek to kill a woman and the child within her, a true innocent amidst the games of politics and inheritance. It will never make sense to her, why it is the most innocent ones of all who are made to suffer the most for others' greed and envy and wrath. She understands this man's cause all too well, being the last of her own line, chased by shadows of assassins and dedicating her entire life to reclaiming what was stolen. But what are his intentions beyond Qarth? He claims to be a future emperor, but of an empire that does not yet exist. He is a conqueror, as is she. The true question is, will he be a liberator as well? ❝ You want me to help you take over the city, but how do I know I can trust you enough to leave it�� in your hands once it has been taken? ❞ Her eyes find his and do not retreat, careful steps taken down the stairs from her throne, bringing her closer. ❝ You offer me wisdom and say you trained in the House of the Undying. The Undying offered me wisdom as well, but their wisdom was all a ploy to consume me. The Warlocks of Qarth wish me dead because it was I who killed the Undying and collapsed the House. Perhaps this is merely a ploy so you can kill me, too. How would I know, until it is too late? You have shown I am already within your reach to kill, am I not? ❞
ㅤㅤㅤFrom what she has seen, if that is his intention, it is already too late to stop him. He possesses a power she does not understand. But she doubts he is here to kill her, and perhaps his declared intentions are true. Clearly he has much more to gain to have her as an ally, not a foe. ❝ You are right, I have need of wisdom, but you must know that I am wary of maegi and warlocks. ❞ Her steps stop at the bottom of the stairs, only a few feet away now, as if tempting any ill intentions he may possess. A snake needs only to strike once for one to know it is there. If she is to die, she will not die afraid. ❝ Say I do this for you. I lend you my aid to take your city, what then? Do I get the same in return when I go to reclaim my own kingdom? Surely you also realize I will not be pleased if you intend to keep Qarth in chains when I wish to set it free. We must agree on this one thing, else you'll get no help from me at all. ❞

@khalesci is said to be his one hope to inherit back what was stolen from his family. his father's memory, erased and burned by those in qarth and he demands justice. no, revenge. upon the highs of mereen, even her dragons locked away seem to react to his presence, as he enters with his mother following suit and the few loyal fremen of the red sea. paul smiles, amused almost at the long titles given to her as they introduce her. queen of the seven kingdoms but she is far from those shores, is she not? if he gets qarth back, the kingdom of atreides can offer her what she needs, and her mother's order and knowledge, wise for the queen to take. he sees her visions, and her lack of understanding. one of her advisors wants to interrupt him, he needs no one but himself to introduce himself and he speaks loud, the right pitch for the voice.
"I have not yet spoken. be quiet." the echoes of voices causes a tremor and then paul looks back at the dragon queen. "i'm duke paul atreides, son of leto atreides of qarth, the last of my house, betrayed by the factions of qarth who wished my death and my mother's, and her unborn child." his sister, per his visions. he is doing this for her. "future emperor of the atreides empire." the messiah of the fremen adds his mother to his side and those fremen agree behind her, and kneel.
"I offer you wisdom you need, your grace. my mother was born in asshai and since birth, i trained in the house of the undying. you have the sight but lack the training to understand what you see." great power,if wielded powerfully. "knowledge of dragons and valyria and the dragons above you had locked away. all I ask, is you aid me take qarth back from the faction to it's rightful hands. my hands."

THEMENTAT⸻ INDEPENDENT, MUTUAL EXCLUSIVE AND SELECTIVE BLOG FOR GOD EMPEROR PAUL OF HOUSE ATREIDES FROM THE DUNE FRANCHISE. BASED ON THE MOVIEVERSE WITH INFLUENCES FROM BOOKS AND MAINLY HEADCANON BASED. CST + 3. SHE/HER. WRITTEN BY CALI. (#)
exploration of themes: the messiah, cautionary tales, the hero is the hidden antagonist, charismatic leader, the all knowing god. i am my mother's son, death in the family, we fall to rise, plagued by visions, i am god and this is my will.
promo.
temporary rules under the cut:
01ㅤ| ㅤㅤintroductionㅤ : ㅤmy name is CALI (SHE/HER, CST+3) born in 1994, 21+ .welcome to my GOD EMPEROR PAUL OF HOUSE ATREIDES muse blog. this blog is private, selective and mutually exclusive. meaning i won't interact with blogs that are not mutuals with me. [this blog is open to plotting both on discord via tupperbox and tumblr].
02.ㅤ| ㅤㅤactivityㅤ : activity on this blog will be medium to low through the week days. i'm mostly active at nights and from fridays to sundays activity will be higher through the weekends and through tupperbox on discord .best way to reach me will be through discord that can be asked upon request to create a 1x1 server or just to talk. [please don't pressure me for replies or asks. as well, communication is key, i'm not a mind reader so if something is bothering you, asking me is okay.].
03.ㅤ| ㅤthreadsㅤ : ㅤthreads will be dropped and asks will be cleared. we are always welcome to do multi threads at the same time. if i get overwhelmed i will usually drop things to start over. i have a generalized anxiety disorder so that affects my productivity too asks are always welcome to be turned into threads . do not reblog memes from me unless we are mutuals. [and if you want to unfollow me, please softblock. as well, if we are friends, always reach out if you are uncomfortable, i will do my best to improve]
04.ㅤ| ㅤㅤformattingㅤ : ㅤfrom january, 2023 , this blog is forced to have only the BETA EDITOR + TRIM. please keep this in mind while roleplaying with me if you are still using the legacy editor. I no longer use small text as my go-to formatting but i might use it at times. i am still available to use legacy when required but do keep this in mind ㅤ[BETA EDITOR + REGULAR TEXT + DOUBLE SPACE. WILL USE ICONS IRREGULARY.]
05.ㅤ| BANNED FACECLAIMS. elizabeth olsen, scarlett johansson, jeremy renner, amber heard, allison mack, gal gadot, johnny depp.
06.ㅤ| ㅤㅤcreditsㅤ : psd, graphics, promo are all done made by me through my resource blog. some days i will be iconless and others i will use them, mostly when i'm at home. [i write novella, multi-para and single line as well text roleplay via discord/tupperbox and tumblr as well].
07.ㅤ| ㅤㅤshippingㅤ : ㅤ shipping is wonderful and it's one of my favorite things in the world. paul has a canonical romance with chani, however, that romance seem to be strained after the end of the second movie, as for the end of the film, he is unsure where she is or she comes back. he enters on a political marriage. for crossover ships, all of them all welcome but beware that paul has a literal god complex.
08.ㅤ| ㅤㅤDNIㅤ : ㅤ due to personal reasons, i won't be roleplaying with characters from the following fandoms. DC'S STARGIRL, PEACEMAKER, MUSES FROM THE BATMAN (2022) AND HORROR MUSES BASED (SELECTIVE), WRESTLING FACECLAIMS. unless we are friends. on my other non ck related muses i don't mind but i have had some bad experiences in the past [personal DNI can be given in privacy, however no name drops will be given here as none of the people are bad and DNI worthy, just uncomfortable].
09.ㅤ| ㅤㅤetiquetteㅤ : ㅤ don't godmod my muse. small things are welcomed. natural psychic abilities were enhanced by the spice melange, and he took on the role of the Fremen religious leader based on their prophecies of Lisan al-Gaib. Their victory in the Desert War eventually led Paul to overthrow the Emperor Shaddam IV and form the Atreides Empire. he is also trained on the ways of the bene gesserit by his mother. paul was dead in a coma and ressurected, and regarded as a god. [as well, don't assume ships with me unless we are friends].
10.ㅤ| changes: ㅤhere are a few of the changes regarding my paul as i follow him from the movies and what could be, knowing of a few changes they did to the books.
i'm keeping paul as someone who has grown in power but who thinks this is the right thing.
unlike his father, he does believe in revenge and motivated by his mother's guidence, and his father's death, paul begins his journey. it was his father who kept him checked.
i would love to explore his political marriage with irulan, following the events of the movie, as chani seems to be gone.
ASOIAF verse: the son of leto atreides, a pureborn of qarth and a red priestess from asshai who bore the man a son, his family was wiped out as they rose too much into power and control. his mother trained him in the arts of shadowmancer and the red god and trained under the house of the undying. paul has visions of the future as well powers like the voice, used to command people to do as he please. his eyes are unsually deep blue on blue. he is exceptional in combat and calls himself emperor of the rising house of atreides. he meets with daenerys targaryen to request her help in overthrowing the other factions, in turn, paul offers guidance on dany's dragonvisions and how to interpret the dreams as well help the targaryen to rise into her own power. he grew up in the belief he was azor ahai.
