you want to know one of the things that pisses me off most about dune? it’s not a valid complaint or problematic or anything. it’s that the litany against fear works and I hate it.
I used to recite the Desiderata in my head when I was a kid at my mom’s insistence but it’s so fucking long and full of compound sentences and the stupid fucking litany just… works better lol. Stop asking me questions during blood donation I’m busy mentally humiliating myself by being a fucking insufferable nerd.
For those who, like me, are unfamiliar with the litany, from the Dune wiki:
“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.”
Denying yourself a functional mental coping technique, for reasons such as cringe in the privacy of your own mind, is an act of self harm.
but letting Frank Herbert give me mental coping mechanism is an indignity I resent

“Resources for writing realistic injuries” no. I want to beat my characters to shit and I don’t care where the blood they’re coughing up is coming from. Like in anime.

Me and @uzlolzu grew up on Deviantart, and late last night we thought about different dA trends through the ages, and our pet peeves with some of them. And then we made some cute commentary and splashed paint all over the living room, making quality original content. You’ll probably get the most out of these if you know Swedish but I hope they’re at least cute to the rest of you too!
