"Stretched over the hand" suuuure

quote:

The sandtrout glove. It was the play of children. If one held a sandtrout in the hand, smoothing it over your skin, it formed a living glove. Traces of blood in the skin's capillaries could be sensed by the creatures, but something mingled with the bloods water repelled them. Sooner or later, the glove will slip off into the sand, there to be lifted into a space fiber basket. The spice sue them until they were dumped into the death still.
Ledo groped on the sand with his right hand until his fingers and countered the leathery skin of a sandtrout. It was the large one he had expected. The creature didn't try to invade him, but moved eagerly onto his flash. He explored it's outline with his free hand roughly diamond shaped. It had no head, no extremities, no eyes, yet it could find water unerringly. With the fellows you could join body to body, locking one on another by the course interlacings of extruded celia until the whole became one large sack-organism enclosing the water ...

The sandtrout squirm down his hand, elongating, stretching. He felt the sandtrout becoming thin, covering more and more of his hand. No sandtrout had ever before in counter to hand such as this one, every cell supersaturated with space. No other human has ever lived before and reasoned in such a condition.

Ledo felt the sandtrout growth in, spreading itself over more and more of his hand, reaching up his arm. He located another, placed it over the first one. Contact ignited a frenzied squirming in the creatures. There celia locked and they became a single membrane which enclosed him to the elbow. The sandtrout adjusted to the living glove of childhood play, but thinner and more sensitive as he lured it into the role of a skin symbiont.




The play of children? Yo, 100% Fremen 12 year-old boys abused these things

Leto II, armed with thousands of years of memories of prepubescent boys doing unspeakable things with dicktrouts, makes the ultimate decision in disgust.

But just to mess with people, he leaves his balls alone. No dick, huge balls covered in sandworm skin that drag sickeningly whenever he moves and make huge drum-like thuds going over obstacles.

This thread has some weird takes about which books to read. IMO, you should read all of Frank's books; even if admittedly some of them aren't great, they're still DUNE canon. Heretics was probably my favourite read, next to the first book.

Some things cannot ever live up to the expectations one builds for them. This is the correct attitude when dealing with fantasy/scifi. They don't always stick the landing, but you can still enjoy them for what they are.

Dune canon, lol. I'd say looking back after reading all the books, despite my constant defense of laser tigers itt, stopping after book 1 is the best idea. It's a heroic story about young Paul and his jihad against inbred aristofreaks.

I really can't hate on this opinion enough. Stop after Messiah if you must, but for god's sake read Messiah. You are only cheating yourself by missing out on Bijaz.

If Elon steals Dune with infinity money powers I'm going to be upset about that.

Jangle some keys or something else shiny to distract him to the next thing.

Or get him to pay for the later Dune movies and waste more money. He's smart. He could be a director and producer. Already figured out how to pay people to make spacecraft. How hard could it also be to be an artist?

I’m in the minority in this thread, but I’ve read Dune Messiah twice, and I hate it. I love narrative, so I love Dune, but Messiah sucks. Almost nothing happens, and it has one interesting character.

Yes, Herbert never did achieve the heights of Bijaz again in the series.

Just finished DUNC 2021. Not bad. The exposition is better than Lynch, but that's unfair because he tried to cram everything into 90 mins, and this is probably three parts. Was it unclear if there would be a sequel? Idk I miss the camp present in Lynch's movie, otoh the moods created by the super-stylish screen composition are not bad. 8/10 disappointed he didn't ride a worm.
