LIFE AFTER PEOPLE MENTIONED!!!!!

i feel insane why are there never any adults around for the bullying

willy projecting his insecurities about his life and failures as a salesman onto his kids (biff in particular) hmmmmmmmm

genuinely who came up with the name/nickname biff and who can i thank for making it obsolete in the 21st century?

seven children dead at birth IS unnatural. i wonder if the parent blood types were incompatible

abigail hobbs and amma crellin would HAAAAAAATE each other and yet they are two sides of the same coin

just found out what "ghibli" means because of this book

finding out frank herbet was actively a republican is probably the most shocking thing anyone could've told me about the man

jesuits mentioned in my dune book that should give me a free pass from having to read the sparrow sequel

i imagine emilio is having war flashbacks to the alien girl on rakhat while talking to cara

listening to the audiobook instead of reading because i barely liked the first book and this is for book club.

i love when authors aren't afraid to let their freak flags fly several books into their respective series. what do you mean the son of paul muad'dib (née atreides) is now a shai-hulud thousands of years after his initial conception. and also he's a dictator.

while i'm sure that villeneuve's version of shai-hulud/the sandworms is more accurate to frank herbert's original vision, i can't help but picture the giant worm with beady little eyes from that one episode of spongebob instead.

atreides infiltration, colonization, and ecosystem alterations really brought about the rise of nuclear families among the fremen that's crazy

i forgot they said that agamemnon was an atreides ancestor. genocide runs deep in that house.

i think that paul and oepidus would have a lot to talk about in regard to their respective fates and attempts to circumvent them

i forgot chani and paul have their own everlark "stay with me" "always" moment

i remembered the random f slur drop three paragraphs before it got used. still don't understand the context of it. whatever girl

okay so are the runa or whatever the entire race on rakhat are called just the avatar blue people but with fur instead

everything reminds me of them (fleabag and hot priest)

because of this book, i finally asked the age old question (why are so many marines catholic)

the only thing that has truly dated this book and made it not all the way factual is that in 1996 there had one been one bush as president so far

not the double anne rice mention

"as that would erase evidence of our non-crime" my brother in christ desecration of a corpse is a Felony.

later...

dialogue centered around the main character cursing is so cringey it has me googling what religion the author was brought up as. i keep expecting to see him drop a "heckin doggo" (and what i've seen so far isn't that far off from this anyway).

8000x microscope... i would like to use it

haven't even started and the book is dedicated to the beatles LMAO

that song from hereditary playing in my head when alex sees who's sitting at the fire

i genuinely need this book to stick the landing because i'm enjoying it a lot so far (getting compared to house of leaves, haunting of hill house, and secret history are big shoes to fill but i am Liking This A Lot)
