Have You Seen Moebius’ Take On Feyd-Rautha?? I Love The 2024 Film But The Femboy Appreciators Were

Let Paul and Chani fight each other in Dune Messiah. Let Paul start by trying to convince Chani to join him and then get angry when she refuses. Let them forget the memories of their love for just one moment, long enough to hurt each other.

Haven't drawn much these days but have some sheeanaposting

I know people like to interpret Paul as an outright villain of the story and while that's not unreasonable, I personally love another interpretation.

It doesn't matter if you are a kind person with good intentions, it doesn't matter if you are smarter that anyone else and it doesn't matter if you can literally see the future, NO ONE has the right to hold absolute power over other people.

Systems with strict vertical hierarchy cause oppression. There is no way around it. Even that one guy who you think is better than that shouldn't be put at the top.

Paul being portrayed with many positive character traits doesn't muddy the message, it enhances it.

can't stop thinking about how even though they don't 'die,'--"his vital signs are too low to be detected"-- when they drink the water of life and gain the precognition, whoever they were dies. lady jessica died, the reverend mother rises from her body. paul, son of leto, partner to chani, fremen equal, is dead. reborn with the desert spring tears is paul maud'dib atreides, the mahdi, the lisan al gaib, the kwisatz haderach, emperor of the known galaxy.
