"you were supposed to have a daughter."Dune re-cast: Rinko Kikuchi as Paula Atreides | Emperess Muad'dib# no but imagine # imagine if jessica is like sure i’ll do the thing and goes and has a girl # instead of taking the ~romantic route of gifting leto with a son and heir # and the bene gesserit are like ok ladies business as usual # except it’s not business as usual b/c the messiah is here one generation early and also a girl # and by the time they figure it out the messiah has also become a teenage revolutionary # who controls humanity’s single most important resource and has the universe by the balls # basically less tragic pre-determinism # and more badassitude and deliberate weaponizing of religion and performative sainthood # for political purposes # (because look i’ve read the thing seven million times) # (and at no point does it follow logically that the kwisatz haderach has to be a dude) (tags from vrabia)
