LIKE she's a baby and an ancient woman and she's bitter and sadistic and also sad and lonely she's so many contradictions and she deserved!!!! better!!!!!
also the way I'm abt to read dune Messiah just because apparently the bene gesserit spend the whole thing trying to push for a paulalia baby cause paul won't knock up irulan like!!!
LEGIT (@ allergic to happiness) sometimes I’m extra glad when people pick up characters bc I’m like ‘oh good they can get out of their creator’s head jfc’ and alia atreides is one of them lol
I love that she's part of EVERYTHING that she's on Paul's counsel that she has a secret hiding place so she can watch him in court their relationship is so!!!@
I’m like. “They’re gonna have to change so much of this or puriteens’ heads will explode (possibly also the rating board)”
Tbh Paul/Duncan/Alia is galaxy brain tho. I doubt that was intended explicitly (at least in any way that was actually interacting between Paul and Duncan) but it SHOULD be.
like...im always like ‘I am uncomfy with how incredibly sexualized, frequently outside her own control, everything about this girl is from pre-birth to death as written by male author’ and also 100% ‘and she’s also badass and has a ton of fascinating concepts to play with, let’s gooo with transformative fiction/roleplay’
no ur so right it's TRUE like she's such a fascinating character because she's a child who was never a child and an adult who isn't really an adult and by her own admission her mind/soul isn't interested in a lot because she's already experienced everything before even being BORN
