It's funny how... They desperately try to update a story and almost succeed and make it make sense and the women get interesting roles and the gender essentialism is made 'unfortunate' or changed but then the story has to return to the original vision and Chani the Warrior, Chani the Clear-Sighted cannot tell Paul: you piece of shit. If you want to be emperor, alright, but let my people go. Leave this place. Give me the nuclear codes.
The original books said: this was inevitable. But it wasn't. And the films definitely make this clear. But they have to say the same thing or it truly isn't the same story anymore: this was inevitable.
Though it wasn't.
#even if most of her people are lost to lisan al gaib and the jihad... not all...#1. paul could have chosen to die in a million futures where he doesnt win: didnt#2. paul could have said: ok i got arrakis now: i got the spicefields hostage: ive got the emperor: we are starting our terraforming and not#doing the war#3. he could have knelt to chani and said: heres my blood heres my ring you get the nuclear codes im at your service#4. he could have chosen to die again after having bested the emperor by trying to ascend without an army behind him#well ANYWAYYYY#chani HAD to be silent and silenced to make the story work#not speak a single word to him again#dune#my stuff

"If voting changed anything they wouldn't let people do it-" grabs your face THEY DIDN'T JUST "LET" PEOPLE DO IT, MOST PEOPLE COULDN'T VOTE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. PEOPLE OF COLOR ONLY GOT THE FULL RIGHT TO VOTE 50 YEARS AGO IN THE US, THATS BARELY A GENERATION.
IF IT DIDNT MATTER AT ALL WHY WOULD THEY SPEND SO MUCH TIME GERRYMANDERING THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYWHERE?? WHY CAN'T FELONS VOTE?? WHY CANT PUERTO RICO VOTE? WHY DO THEY KEEP SWITCHING DATES AND LAWS AND TIMES AND WHATEVER THEY POSSIBLY CAN TO STOP PEOPLE FROM VOTING?? WHY DO THEY MAKE EFFORT AT ALL??
BEING DISILLUSIONED IS A REASONABLE RESPONSE. BUT PEOPLE FOUGHT AND DIED AND ARE STILL FUCKING DYING FOR THAT RIGHT, DONT SPIT IN THEIR FACE.
#god i hate seeing that fucking pop up#YES the system is fucked YES we need revolution or reform to the point of it being unrecognizable#but we dont HAVE THAT right now#but DONT COME IN AND TAKE WHAT WE DO HAVE FOR GRANTED IT WAS WRITTEN IN BLOOD#IM SO SICK OF THIS LIKE GUYS...WHY WOULD THEY MAKE THIS MUCH EFFORT...WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED POST CIVIL WAR??#voting#elections

Looks like Israel is using chemical weapons against UN troops now. If the so-called "rules-based" international order existed to do anything but uphold Western interests, something might've come from this.
Full statement from UNIFIL (13 Oct, 2024):
#if the UN troops got sick despite wearing gas masks can you imagine what this stuff is doing to unprotected civilians in lebanon and gaza?#israel#lebanon#unifil#war crimes

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda
#i think he Gets yoda in a way few do bc he knew him as a feral old man in a swamp and not Guy In Charge Of Everything#so he is yodas new best friend#and qui gon hears him talk for five mins and realises his ideal jedi is a real guy that exists#luke doesnt realise how much of a heretic he is okay he is a Luminous Being#luke skywalker#star wars prequels#stat wars original trilogy#sw originals#original trilogy#sw prequel trilogy#sw og trilogy#jedi order#star wars#sw#sw time travel fic#time travel au#the force#yoda#qui gon jinn#i think after a bit plo koon would also be a big fan#lee posts

“Could L have stopped Walter White”
“Could Benoit Blanc have stopped Kira”
Blah blah blah ENOUGH. We have to ask the real questions—
Could Saul Goodman get Light off? And barring that how much would Light’s sentence be reduced?
#death note#better call saul#saul goodman#light yagami#this started a war in my friend circle so we need answers here#i think saul could do it ngl
