Isnt there a plot point that Duncan is in some sort of living situation with a smokin hot babe, who wants to gently caress him real bad, but if he gives in shes gonna throat chop/snap his neck as soon as he cums? they both try to imprint each other by being so good at loving that it enslaves the other but it backfires and they enslave each other...with love

Shageletic posted:Duncan is also 12 I think it was the general who got reawakened and got superspeed like the flash. Boy, those later books got silly. God Emperor was the last good Dune book and would have made an excellent capstone if he had just wrapped it up a little more tightly and let it go. Now we get Herbert Jr. and Anderson churning out fanfic level malarky that contrives a happy ending for Leto, Jessica, even Yueh.

Miles Teg, haa I imagined him as elder Sean Connery. My fave part is the baddies invite him for a grand feast, and they realise its impossible to gently caress with him cause he became too OP, but with a metabolism to match he eats like a 17 course feast and has to go take a big poo poo in the middle of the proceedings.

IIRC that was extremely mild airship horniness. Like a kiss on the forehead. And something about her overflowing and filling him up, as the Atlantic Ocean did to the Mediterranean Sea millions of years ago? Whatever it was terrible. Geology and horny do not mix unless you are Mr. Frank Herbert!!

It really is a sign of progress that we've been able to move away from the dick shaped worms of old and more towards the rear end in a top hat shaped worms of the future. Still, no ring, 0 stars.

Other than this picture being amazing it gave me a hilarious mental image of Leto II needing a reading glasses. Like Moneo brings him reports of how much spice did Ixians steal this week and Leto is like "where are my goddamn glasses".

The one part about Miles' background that I never understood: Heretics takes place 1500ish years after Nyla had her orgasm, and when either Taraza or Odrade are describing Miles, they say he's 296 years old. And they point out he got there without the spice. So, basically, within 1200 years, they bred a dramatically longer life in with the Atreides genes. That's a pretty sudden shift in the Duniverse, considering Moneo was only 118 with the spice, being dashed upon the rocks aside.

Sci-fi writers in the 50s and 60s were just on their own goddamn level in a way that is a combo of repulsive, laughable, and compelling all at the same time.

Heretics comes out in 1984 I think. Anyway it’s the 80s all the way down. I especially make sure to remember this whenever I imagine the characters’ hairstyles.

Dune was 65, and while Heretics was 84, I like to imagine that the 20 year continuum of horny and weird transcends linear time
