Status Updates From God Emperor of Dune (Dune #4)

leto's audience w the reverend mothers. old anteac, young luyseyal. them offering leto "community." interesting, bc the foundation for what leto is, what paul became, is the ultimate manifestation of BG planning. what they envisioned as the kwisatz haderach, formed premature then reincarnated as abomination... and leto can see the temptation of seeking community! he misses his humanity, and not knowing the future!

nunepi, non-face dancer, tleilaxu ambassador, sentenced to 50 lashes, cut short at 20. punishment for the assassination attempt, but under the false guise of blasphemy. seemingly, there'll be recompense for the flogging, and leto expects it. maybe. all very interesting!!

not leto smitten for hwi! age gap crazy. and the super ancestral phantom limb sensation!! i think this chapter is leading to interesting places. namely, that whatever Ix is building to fit space travel, it uses some technology that messes with space-time, because leto can't see Hwi's origin. or maybe he wasnt using his full-prescience?? so he can be surprised?

so this city of Onn is built pretty much built just to dickride Leto... i fw it. duncan on edge. feels like moneo is getting scared of his God Emperor, and starting to question him... just like A LITTLE tho, lets not get crazy. p much its gets touchy concerning siona... "Siaynoq"

I see why Leto liked Malky, he’s the only one, besides Siona, who serves back a similar level of sass at him. I love how nobody’s opinion of Leto is the same, nor do their opinions stay the same throughout the story. Also, pretty wild to see Leto cry with Hwi after getting the setup a few chapters ago that he claimed he wasn’t capable of it.
