Did you know that a lot of #Dune 's Fremen language is just Arabic? Some examples:

Muad'Dib: Teacher
Lisan al-Gaib: Teller of things yet to come.
Shai-Hulud: Eternal thing, or Eternal Shaikh/Sheik (old man).
Mahdi: The guided one
Arrakis: the dancer, the name of a star (Mu Draconis A)

Today's #Dune sietchposting #meme

With all this talk of "fixing" Paul Atreides I'm starting to have a really bad feeling about Dune: Part Two

What made Herbert's work truly come to life was all the details in Fremen culture that made it vibrant and interesting /23

I made a really, really dumb #BIFAR (Bring in Feyd and Rabban) #meme for #Dune sietchposting the other night. I'm probably way too proud of this one given how dumb it is.

Gotta bring 'em all! 21/

Moar #Dune sietchposting.

My name is Paul Muad'Dib and I want to be a prophet!

c/w toilet humor and mild spoilers 18/

Wednsday morning #Dune s̶h̶i̶t̶p̶o̶s̶t̶ sietchpost.

I know many of you are worried about the potential implications of using #gpt for nefarious purposes as well as its tendency to produce reasonable-sounding bullshit. But I see enormous potential for shitposting. Take this for example, it would have totally averted interplanetary jihad

Tonight's #Dune shitpost. The first step in avoiding a von Trapp is knowing of its existence.

(If you look carefully you'll also find a BIFAR meme hidden in this one. Memes within memes, y'know) 5/

Let's keep those #Dune shitposts going.

Frank Herbert's notes are very clear on the fact that before getting into politics Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen headlined an underground rock band on Giedi Prime 2/
