Posting oc art but you ALSO get the baron. Yeah that’s right you have to look at my art of Vladimir Harkonnen.

#my art #I don’t actually fully know what I want my Baron to look like #so this one was done entirely from my heart + book descsriptions I could remember #and only a little outside influence. like the diamonds over the eyes and red hair #(red hair is from the lynch film and the diamonds were inspired by Burdonsomeblood’s artwork. love ya stuff homedawg)#(you cooked with your design for him so much #dune fanart #dune piter #dune by frank herbert #baron harkonnen #vladimir harkonnen #craven oc #(Cockroach pixie guy)#piter de vries #guess he’s also there… in the corner…#also the bottom doodle was inspired by The Dark of the Night from Anastasia #because that song is LITERALLYYYYYY the baron. it’s literally him singing about the atriedes #so instead of Dasvidanya Anya your grace! it’s Leto lol #Rasputin even says ‘’my dear’ a ton in that song. it’s him #okay enough tags

#Seeing the dune part 2 american centric red carpet and as a devoted aficionado of the books and yk a moroccan person here are my 2 cents #Dune was one of the few Western works inspired by MENA culture that that felt genuine and respectful #But ofc despite the profound symbiosis with Middle Eastern and North African culture evident within the pages of the novels #the movie adaptation lack of substantive representation from these communities both in on-screen portrayals and within production roles was #very much disappointing in part 1 and i doubt there are any change now #While drawing inspiration from the Amazigh peoples of Algeria and Morocco #the film barely skims the surface of its MENA influences leaving substantial potential untapped #Herbert openly acknowledged the profound impact of Islam and MENA culture on his noveIs #from the metaphorical representation of Spice as oil #to the allegorical parallels drawn between the occupation of Arrakis and real-world MENA geopolitics #By marginalizing Arabs from the narrative fabric of Dune the essence of the story is being undermined particularly its anti-colonial core #the irony of this is kiIIing me because this was a direct resuIt of us impérialism on the middIe east #But the reality is that Dune is an American production tailored for an American audience so it makes sense for it to be what it is now #a big production running from its original essence #What adds to my disappointment is the fact that I liked Villeneuve's adaptation of Incendies and I had what you call foolish hope hfhg #Dune feIt Iike a squandered opportunity to authentically depict the cultural milieu that inspired it #Given the narrative's inherent anti-colonial themes #the omission of Arab and North African voices dilute its message if any of it is even left #without representation from Arabs and Amazigh people the cultural essence becomes another appropriated resource watered down to an aestheti #rather than serving as a critique of the destructive actions of colonialists seeking power and dominance #the narrative becomes susceptible to distortion and co-option by the very entities it was intended to condemn and hold accountable

Y'all help I'm trying to find this tumblr post about lady jessica's characterization and her relationship with paul. It was in paragraph format and the first sentence is the typical tumblr picture-being-in-x's-shoes while the rest of it is in the second person. It talks about how/why she pushed paul into the prophecy (something about it ending up with him killing a ton of ppl while she did it so that he would stay alive but it really messed him up, etc., etc.) and idk if it's book accurate (haven't read them yet, on the tbr) but it popped up on my Pinterest feed a few days back and I didn't save it but I just rewatched the first dune to prep for watching the second later this week and the post popped into my head (I really liked the wording) and I went to show it to someone (it was supporting a thematic point I wanted to make I think I can't know for sure) and I've been looking for like an hour now pls help.

#halp #tl;dr need to find a ONE paragraph no-image tumblr textpost about lady jessica and her relationship with/influence on paul #found on pinterest and haven't spotted it since #pls help #this is literally just to help me find something for my own sanity and no other reason so feel free to move along #tumblr #lady jessica #jessica atreides #paul atreides #dune #dune movie #i'm so sorry i wouldn't usually clog up the tags like this but i'm desperate #after it's found i'll get rid of the tags or something but anything you can do to help would be grand #just yelling into the void #lady jessica atreides

i’m watching the children of dune miniseries (i haven’t read the book) and i’m usually not a spousesibling truther BUT leto x ghanima soulmateism is so strong even just from their first actual scene together… they got me i fear

my favorite genre of asks to get is when I've been annoying about a thing for years people finally cave and watch/read ect the thing and go. oh no. tumblr user wulfhalls formerly know as iskarieot was right all along. and I get to have that smug ass oprah moment of gif fame

#as ive been saying!!!!!#asks #children of dune #leto x ghanima #also spousesiblings catching on........ will i ever stop influencing...... its a compulsion at this point....

Dune Universe Aesthetics - Chapterhouse

“And always the ultimate unspoken commandment is 'Thou shall not question!' But we question. We break that commandment as a matter of course. The work to which we have set ourselves is the liberating of the imagination, the harnessing of imagination to humankind's deepest sense of creativity.”

#the concept art is brutalist but i feel the bene gesserit with their catholic influence would be much more naturalistic/gothic #in terms of architecture #the home of my cringefail eugenicist sisters 💖#dune #bene gesserit

Honestly, I don't get this trend I'm seeing online of people watching the new Dune movies, realizing how much Star Wars was influenced by it, and going "Well, Star Wars is ruined for me."

As if Dune having an influence on Star Wars was some big secret; as if George Lucas's original reason for making Star Wars wasn't just because he couldn't make a Flash Gordon movie and went "I'll just do my own space hero thing" and even researched lots of old adventure and pulp stories for inspiration.

I get that "X is a ripoff of Y" is a common tactic deployed by people at works they don't like--or specifically, deployed by people at works that they feel didn't do the idea nearly as cool--but you have to accept at some point that everything is inspired by other things. Even that show you feel was the inspiration for a later (maybe, in your head, inferior) work is really influenced by another work that you don't even know about yet.

Also, people are saying "Star Wars ripped off Dune because it used the story about people rebelling against a corrupt authority" and it's like... Both of those works technically "ripped off" human history with that. Why are we suddenly acting like corrupt empires and underdog rebels are only in the realms of two fictional stories???

#dune #frank herbert #star wars #george lucas #writing #influences #my posts #text #wait until I tell you that Geroge R.R. Martin ripped off the War of the Roses...

The "Star Wars is space opera not sci-fi" argument is also so funny bc like, are you telling me that Valérian and Laureline and Space Battleship Yamato, other globally famous works that are considered space operas, also aren't sci-fi? Come on

#wonder what they think about dune and other works that mix fantasy influenced worldbuilding + tech then #bet they're the same ppl who think the fantasy genre is ''apolitical''#yamato in comparison has like one alien race that's basically green humans and you won't see any japanese ppl saying it's not sci-fi
