Yo forgive the fact that i recorded this on an iphone in an amc, but can we like… discuss for a second
Feyd-Rautha, if he had a single second to live, would’ve started making out with Paul. This man has never been turned on more in his fucking life then fighting his predestined Cousin-Soulmate over who gets to be the Father of the Kwisach Haderach
You know he was pissed as fuck that Jessica ruined the plan. Man would’ve been SO HYPE to make Super Messiah Babies with Paul(ine)
The whole genetics project of the Bene Gesserit may have been dubbed a failure because Paul wasn't a girl but there was nothing stopping Paul and Feyd-Ruatha acting on that sexual tension they had in both book and film.
Paul could have taken Feyd as a third Consort. Just imagine Paul with his Empress Irulan and his wife Chani sitting at his side and Feyd just sprawled on the dais steps just wearing something scandalous like
You were right Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, wasted potential.
On the one hand, I totally get why they got rid of the two year time jump and the changes that resulted as a consequence. But on the other hand, I really wanted to see this in Part Two.
i HATE the term shadow daddy. If a character is referred to as “shadow daddy” by someone you know its gonna be the most uninteresting, bland and probably shitty male character to ever exist. Bro does the bare minimum and everyone falls to their feet. Shadow daddy isnt a compliment its a warning to everyone else
Does A1 find it hard to ask for help, was it hard to ask A2 to help him wash his hair?
Does A1 feel obligated to offer himself as thanks/compensation for help? Does he feel like all he has to offer is his body? Does he do this to others too?
Does A2 see it, does A2 "know" it was out of a sense of obligation, of owing him? Does it make him uncomfy?
Is the situation something else entirely?
okay so i usually like to keep things pretty open for interpretation when it comes to my stuff but i cant help myself, i love talking about them 🤧🤧
look homeward meta under the cut 🫡
+a slight spoiler for ppl who havent read the latest pages on patreon yet
i dont think a1 has any trouble asking for help, i think he loves using people whenever he can. its a little different when it comes to a2, but still— him asking for help is more of an excuse to get a2’s hands on him and less of him actually needing help
i think a1 has a tendency to view pretty much every single human interaction as transactional, and he knows that a2 wants him, and he just doesnt mind using intimacy as currency to like. repay him for saving his life/taking care of him or whatever. (spoiler: it becomes more clear in the upcoming pages that he’s offering himself as an apology)
a2 doesnt want to be paid, a2 wants to be wanted. so while it doesnt make him uncomfortable, i think it does make him a little sad.
I wish the anime hadn't cut this part out. It really highlights how afo presented himself as a savior to those who felt lost during the dawn of quirks which was how he was able to get such a huge following.
we see him do that during present day too as we see how he exploits those, particularly children, who society forgot about by taking them in and caring for them so they'll remain grateful and loyal to him.
Now that I'm caught up with both tma and tmagp, it's time to lose myself in the sea of fanfic. As there are over 26k fics on ao3 for magnus archives, there is no feasible way for me to go through every single one of them to see which ones I'd want to read. Because of that, I'm holding out a giant basket (this post) and asking y'all to drop your faves into it. Bonus points if it's a time travel rewrite fic, something from the scotland safehouse, or cool AUs.
Tired of seeing fic on ao3 claiming to be based off dune the book series when it’s very obvious that the writer has only seen dune the movie(s).
Yes, it matters. Yes, these are very different works. You’re probably doing this for visibility; I don’t care. Archive Of Our Own is a fucking archive, stop labeling your works with a tag you know is factually incorrect. It makes it impossible for me to filter for fics I want to read.
