I'm trying to be completely normal about Cinder's redemption and not get too attached (nek minute) which I've resisted for years, but it's hard not to. It doesn't help that I was dealt the full blow of Paul Atreides recently and I'm still not over it. I know he's a world-destroying conqueror, that's the tragedy.

#come out to the sea and just drown with me #terrible purpose #paul is a character whose pathos isn't only a result of suffering #it's a suffering of ambition and cumulative... being #it's not that he's got a wooby backstory that makes me want to wooby him #it's also partly that he's such an incredible fucking commentary on the chosen hero trope within Dune's own themes and points of interest #he is CURSED #and it's incredible #this is what you've done to the poor boy #and what the poor boy has done to himself #lying on my back
