It is inherently fun and sexy to say statements that swap the traditional genders of pronouns and terms mid-statement, such as: "I'm going to make him my wife" "She's my boyfriend" "Who says a guy can't be a pretty princess?" "That girl's the coolest dude I've ever met" "She's a madman who has to be stopped" "It's not his fault he's a material girl" Gender is a set of watercolors and the prettiest shades come from mixing the paints together.

you guys gotta watch sweetpea. She's a freak. She's a weirdo. She's breaking into people bins to get the big news scoop. She's puncturing tires in a little black dress and when the air blows out it fans her hair back. She's stuck doing assistant work and then stabbing men in the night with her letter opener. She's singing Katy Perry's roar at karaoke after her first big kill cause she's feeling herself like a romcom coming of age movie. She's getting questioned by police for a murder she clearly did and saying I think it was some laddy lads and they go.... My God thank you for the tip sweetheart, let's go find those laddy lads. She's like if Hannibal was a tiny mean British woman.

Reading Dune - I really wished they’d left that in the movie(s)… what a prediction:

so within the universe of Dune, gender roles abide by a rigid false dichotomy created by the bene gesserit - men lead the noble houses, while the women may join their order, and the powers of both are kept intentionally separate. at the same time, the plot demonstrates repeatedly that the role of paul atreides as a character is that of the border between the concepts juxtaposed within dichotomies: he is both an outerworlder and fremen, both harkonnen and atreides, both a duke and a disciple of the bene gesserit.

as such, it follows that within the in-universe gender structure, he occupies the roles of both male and female, thus being functionally and societally nonbinary. in this essay, i will -

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

Never want to hear anyone say that nandermo wasn't literally made canon with this ending btw. "But they didn't kiss on screen". Bro nandor said "you know I'm glad the cameras won't be around anymore for... (Avoids eye contact) Lots of reasons. Can't think of any rn while I'm in front of the cameras but. Anyway get in my coffin with me and let's go underground. Together. away from the cameras"

Like idk how you could read that other than. "When this documentary ends we're gonna make out. Subterranean Style"
