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

And again he remembered the vision of fanatic legions following the green and black banner of the Atreides, pillaging and burning across the universe in the name of their prophet Muad’Dib. That must not happen, he told himself. — Dune, Frank Herbert.
It is literally from years ago now but I am still obsessed with your reads on Andy and Quynh and cannot wait for old guard 2.
thank you and god it feels like it's been 87 years since i made those posts. 2 OLD 2 GUARD WHEN WILL YOU RETURN FROM WAR
my heart calls for arrakis
Something I really love in dune part 2, is the juxtaposition of chani's reaction during the war council scene and the ending scene.
In the war council scene everyone is on their knees but when Paul declares himself the mahdi and says he'll lead them to paradise, they all jump to their feet and shout lisan al gaib, chani however is the only one to stay on her knees, kept there by her disbelief and devastation along with her refusal to exalt him like everyone else.
Then you have the end scene where paul becomes Emperor which both compliments and contrasts with the council scene, here everyone was standing and they all sink to their knees, but this time chani stays on her feet, she's all anger and defiance, paul promised to be her equal and she'll never willingly bow to him.
Hum. Stilgar and Jessica. Thoughts?

I ship it! Their first interaction being her besting him in armed combat? Licking her tear off his thumb? The true believer and the mother of the messiah, but also two shrewd political operators with big ambitions? I'm here for it!
Astonishing that there's only 8 fics for them on ao3 currently. That one you linked it hot as hell, and may I also recommend this magnum opus.
i love your paulchani fic 🫡
Thank yoooooouuuu! It'll probably be like 1-2 weeks between each update because I am a slow busy writer but I am having a GREAT time writing Maybe I'll Show You the Way. Action, sexytimes, worldbuilding, politics, and the bittersweet angst of knowing the inevitable heartbreak is coming? Oh look it's all of my favorite things :-)
15 billion miles away and NASA was able to tweak code packages on one of the onboard computers and it worked and Voyager 1 is sending signals back to earth for the first time since November.
Incredible!
I know this is a long shot, and I have no idea how Messiah is even going to be handled onscreen in regards to the time jump, but I'd love a scene of Paul wrapping up his own wounds from the end of Part 2. Because one, you can't just injure your main character That Much and then never follow up on it in any way.
But more importantly I want that emphasis on how alone he is. I need the narrative to keep acknowledging that. Despite being so important *in theory*, he isn't protected, he isn't cared about. He's a thing to be in awe of and be terrified of. So having him alone, injured, taking care of himself in private with nobody watching him or following him...and then having him drag himself back to his feet to go commit more war crimes immediately after showing him in a deeply vulnerable and lonesome position would be. hm. something.
Ok. If anybody wants the way-too-hyperspecific-to-possibly-be-accurate-but-my-brain-ran-away-with-it thing that I'm picturing, I had to get it out of my head vvv
This fandom is so lucky to have Samba for real though. Because no one is doing dvd box set with bloopers and bts anymore. You need a guy who is a nerd about hollywood stuff on the cast and crew so he can drip feed us bonus content over instagram.
the love that you need will never be found at home
