The Last Days of Judas Iscariot saying that heaven and hell are a state of mind and nothing can obstruct you from salvation and the love of God except your own guilt. And despair being such a dooming force that even if Jesus were to appear in front of you himself and repeatedly remind you how much he loves you, hell, he'll try to hug you and wash your feet even, you can't be let free from the prison of suffering that you've confined yourself in. All because you're so disappointed in yourself that you're gripping the bars refusing to let go. How you cannot love God without first forgiving yourself. How the ultimate tragedy in this poignant dark comedy of a play is that Judas' damnation comes not from the fact that he betrayed Jesus, but from his self-disdain and perceived unworthiness that he basically condemned himself into an eternity of solitary anguish. I can go on about this play forever and ever. Do you get it.

you can’t be anti-immigration and helpol. you just cant. xenia is such an integral part of this religion. good will. hospitality. kindness to strangers. being anti-immigration goes against all that. if you’re helpol and anti-immigration do better.

im just not attracted to anyone or anything ever. until i am.

Jonathan on the 12th: This thing isn't human, I just watched him scale the bloody walls like a fucking lizard, what sort of beast am I forced to be in contact with????

Jonathan on the 15th: Saw the old bastard scaling the fucking wall again and honestly fuck this shit I am so over it hope he falls actually.

what’s it called when you’re so disconnected from reality that cold water doesn’t feel like anything and you can barely taste food anymore

Warning : not very coherent

I so badly wanted the slow extinction of fremen culture in dune messiah and children of dune to be an examination on how the colonial rule destroy indigenous way of life and fuck up the local ecosystem causing untold damages for the sake of "modern development" when its actually just a mindless chase for profits. But I know its not. There were some bit of writing that pointed in that direction (how terraforming destroys the habitat of desert animals, especially the worms, gradual loss of knowledge on water discipline, how riding the sandworms becomes rarer and rarer) but overall, it doesnt seem like its what frank hebert actually wanted to say.

From the first book, the fremen is seen as 'noble' or special because the harsh conditions of Arrakis made them into a society of honor with the strength and battle prowess that rivaled the sardaukar. The sardaukars were defeated by them because they've gotten too confident and comfortable from constantly winning. In dune messiah, we see the fremen slowly undergoing through the same thing as their planet becomes less harsh. The fact was regularly noted by people who went through the sietch days and somehow, its all they care about. Feeling resentment over how the new generations are weak and waterfat. Cultural things like music, communal gatherings, camaraderie, were all treated like a footnote. There was a scene in dune messiah where a veteran, Farok was complaining about living in suburban houses instead of the caves. IRL, suburban houses on a desert climate took so much to maintain. It's expensive. It wastes water, power that are currently sourced by burning fossil fuels, and it kills the local ecosystem. It also promotes loneliness because people are separated in tiny family units. There is a lot of plot potential in there. But in the book, its merely a rant that describes how Farok wanted the old ways without specifying why and how it was better for him and fremen as a whole. Meanwhile in dune it was specified how awful living in the old days are. And then of course, a part of why Paul had his downfall was because the fremen thinks its disappointing that theyre not brutal savages trained by the desert and a fear of the shai-hulud anymore

It's a wasted opportunity! The book wants you to believe the old ways of the fremen are better, but all it focuses on is how better living conditions makes them soft. They resent not sacrificing virgins and leaving blind people to die. The things they lost that the book narratively cares about is the things that aids the Atreides and their empire, not the things that makes the fremen who they are (communal living in the sietch, solidarity, appreciation for the environment).

Despite being glorified, the fremen is not treated like people. Their way of life is universally seen as best for the planet, but there is no sincere examination on why it actually works for the fremen. And the book suffers because of it. In the end, the fremen is merely a placeholder for frank hebert to spout his weird beliefs about survival of the fittest instead of a story about indigenous culture. My friend, you were so close but you missed it!

life is too short for me to read anything that isn't about gay men being weird to each other
