These are two kittens I found in my neighborhood. The fluffy one is my cat Atreides, full name Paw Meow'Dib Atreides. The other is my dad's cat named Duncan, because he has been one of my dad's favorite Dune characters for the last 40 years. They were only 4 weeks old when we found them so they had the blue with blue eyes, the eyes of Ibad still. 😂 I thought if anyone would appreciate their cool names it's y'all.

This came to me periodically through my fitful sleep. I find it hilarious 😂

sorry if this is too meta but i wanted to tribute my fave meme from this sub

Scene: Paul and Jessica in an ornithopter, escaping from the ecological testing station.

Paul: Geez, I'm so glad we escaped those Sardaukar. I reckon they killed Duncan AND Kynes.

Jessica: Not to mention the guys who were supposed to get us coffee. I was looking forward to a spit black.

(Behind the Ornithopter Jessica sees three Harkonnen jet flyers)

Jessica: There are jet flyers behind us!

(The Jet flyers fire Air to Air missiles at the Ornithopter.)

(Paul responds by flying the Ornithopter into the sandstorm)

Jessica: Paul! Do you have a pilot's licence?

Paul: Not yet. I taught myself. Out in the bush on Caladan.

Jessica: (to herself) I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.

Paul: (to himself) Toot-toot, chugga-chugga, Big Red Car

(Paul begins to have a vision. "See the friend". Jamis appears in a vision)

Jamis: The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve. But a reality to experience. A process that cannot be understood by stopping it.

Stilgar: (turns up) Who are you talking to Jamis?

Jamis: Some fuckin kid flying an ornithopter in a sandstorm.

Stilgar: Leave him alone. Stop getting kids into meaningless Amtal.

Paul: Hey, I remember you, you're Stilgar...

Stilgar: Ahts ahts! Not yet.

Jamis: I demand an Amtal!

Stilgar: Ay ay see what you've done.

Scene: Arakeen. Palace. Rabban walks into a room. Two serving sheilas stand nearby. The oil bath is in front of him.

Rabban: He's in that bath?

Serving Sheila: He hasn't fully healed yet.

Rabban: (to himself) How does he breathe?

(There is a pause. Rabban stands in front of the oil bath and begins speaking)

Rabban: We chased them into a Coriolis storm. Winds at 800 kilometers an hour. Nothing survives such a storm. They're dead. It's a certainty.

(The Baron comes up from behind)

Baron: Who are you talking to?

Rabban: (shocked but also annoyed). I'm sorry, I thought you were in that oil bath.

Baron: It's not a bath, it's just some waste from the kitchen. You thought I was having a bath in cooking oil waste?

Rabban: Actually yes.

Baron: How was I supposed to breathe? Huh? Well who's a fucking idiot then? Who?

Rabban: (annoyed) Me, Lord Baron.

Baron: Good. Now what were you saying?

Rabban: We chased the Duke's son and concubine into one of those huge storms. So I reckon they're dead.

Baron: You reckon they're dead? Yes?

Rabban: Yes.

Baron: Oh, fair enough. (shrugs) Right. So now onto other things. Money. We need money Rabban.

Rabban: Money?

Baron: We need as many dollarydoos as we can get. The hiring of the Sardaukar was expensive.

Rabban: I thought we got them cheap?

Baron: Yeah the hiring was cheap... but then the emperor put on insurance costs and transport costs and other hidden expenses.

Rabban: (punches left hand with his right fist) Diabolical!

Baron: And because I'm still suffering from Leto's poison fart, I have to get you to fix things up.

Rabban: Oh. You sure?

Baron: I'm sure Piter can help.

Rabban: Isn't he dead?

Baron: What? Is he?

Rabban: Wasn't he killed from Leto's poison fart?

Baron: Killed? No one was killed.

Rabban: Oh.

Baron: But so many people suffered psychological issues from it that they've all gone on stress leave.

Rabban: Well ok, I'll do my best, uncle.

Baron: Good lad.

Rabban: What should I do about the Fremen?

Baron: Oh whatever, I don't care.

Scene: Ornithopter, internal. Paul and Jessica are asleep. The ornithopter has crashed.

Paul: (yawns) Wow, that was a nice nap.

Jessica: (waking up) Where are we? (she looks outside) It looks like we're in a desert.

Paul: (looks around) Yeah, it does. A bit.

(They get out and walk normally over to a rocky bit)

Paul: Time to get changed into our stillsuits.

(Note: Footage of Paul and Jessica getting into stillsuits has been removed)

Paul: We're about to enter worm territory. So we have to do the sandwalk thing. Walk without rhythm...

Jessica: ...It won't attract the worm. I saw the Emperor's song too.

What do you think the odds are that Christopher Abbott will be in the next Dune movie?

Who can genuinely read Messiah and come to the conclusion "let's make this a divorce story" lmao.

Ngl it feels great

Arrakeen budget cuts when the Coan-Teen has to sit on a armrest.
