i have so many hobbies and interests but each day the four horsemen (instant gratification, shortened attention span, procrastination, exhaustion) grab me by the throat and shake me until i collapse in my comfy bed

preview:

Curiosity makes Chani waver. Curiosity compels Chani to keep her dagger perfectly still, to raise two fingers, and run them just shy of the surface of the fabric bunched at Irulan’s waist. The fabric is like nothing Chani has ever felt. The properties of chainmail, but featherlight. She inhales in wonder, despite herself. Irulan remains unmoving. “Made from the saliva of birds who only come to roost in our palace once every seven standard years.” Irulan says. “It feels unreal.” “I am fortunate to wear it.” Chani hums, a noncommittal noise under her breath. She could get lost in this, the taxonomy and origin of this garment instead of what she has come here to do. Her mission. Nonetheless, she cannot stop her gaze from roving across the way the fine fabric ripples on the Princess’s stomach, as the Princess breathes. “You focus only on the immediate. Of pain and passion, of your moment.” Irulan says, in the silence. “What is it that you truly believe?” Chani snaps her gaze back up. Chani adjusts the knife, uses the flat side of its twisting blade to tilt Irulan’s chin up. “I believe this conversation’s over, Princess.”

What advice would you give 21 year old you?

Everything changes beyond absolute recognition

can’t stop thinking about that shot where everyone in the room is kneeling and princess irulan, paul, and chani are the only ones standing. paul’s back to chani signifying his betrayal while princess irulan and chani are eye to eye - both heartbroken over what the man between them has done. my chest hurts that was so beautifully executed

dune has the best women characters because there's no fake girl power hand-holding trying to over-justify their unethical decisions or make them badass. instead they're all mask-off cringe fail bioengineers and deranged cult leaders, in some cases before they're even born

you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me:

love using (!) excessively, like yes!!! i am so very excited!!!! right now!!!!! i love you!!!!!!

all debates abt the artistic merits of fanfiction fail to recognize the purpose of fic. you don’t write fic to be published or to learn how to construct a narrative although you can use it to develop style. you write it so that your friends will message you “bestie you’re utterly deranged for this one im eating dirt”
