They had a fun corner in the natural history museum in Bern about the taxidermy process, and they showed the effect the eyes have on how realistic or uh. disturbing. a mount is
The first fox had all black eyes. Not super realistic for those who know red foxes usually have orange or greenish eyes, but still pretty cute
The second one had normal fox eyes. I think they could've gone with a size or two smaller, but still. Regular orange eyes with a vertical pupil as it should be. But then. Oh. Oh no.

Thinking about how in Dune Part 1 the concept of Paul dying and rising is this big set up to his fight with Jamis. And how through killing a man for the first time, Paul does in some ways kill a part of himself, which is then reborn.
Now thinking about how many times Paul dies and is reborn in Dune Part 2. When he is accepted by the Fremen, and rejects his status as outsider of the planet. He severs his ties to Caladan more than even the death of his father.
When he accepts his fate and goes South. Though Paul is saving himself from being killed by the Harkonnens, he's also killing his hope. The last of his resolve. And he accepts his terrible destiny, rising again.
Of course, drinking the Waters is the most explicit example of this. Paul literally almost dies, only to be resurrected by Chani. Only this time it's the most terrible death of them all. Because Chani assured him that she would always be his as long as he remained himself. And in this act Paul is losing her. Already when he goes South he's lost. But now he can see it clearly. And she can too. Paul Atreides is dead. Paul the Messiah is born. He's gained so much, and yet how much he's also lost.
Then, of course, circling back to Dune Part 1, Paul the Duke is killed by Feyd Rautha, before being reborn as Paul the Emperor. Again he comes perilously close to dying, yet even here the loss and gain does not match the scope of when he took the Waters. Thus, though this is his 'moment' politically, in terms of fate that moment has already passed.

dc is missing out on so much comedic potential by not giving Tim one of his parents back and my personal pick is Dana because she is simply the best parent he's ever had
and then you can have stuff like
Tim crawling in through the living room window:You are not gonna believe what Bruce just did I mean seriously Dana this is low even for him
Dana: Is he being violent again? also i got you snacks they're on the counter
Tim: HE'S BEING VIOLENT AGAIN thanks for the snacks and do you know what he said???
Dana:What'd he say Tim?
Tim:He said he would arrest me if i tried to stop him
Dana:No
Tim:yes and then that bitch-
Dana:No cursing Tim
Tim:sorry Dana anyway-
(basically they should force Bruce to co-parent cause god knows he can't do it himself)
