MOTHER IS MOTHERING
Zendaya in London (February 15, 2024)
For you to stay with me
Paul Atreides x fem!reader
Summary: Paul wants to keep you by his side no matter what the cost.

Warning: ANGST, possessive behavior, poisoning, escape attempt, abuse of power.
note: since it's Halloween, this story is inspired by a dialogue from Crimson Peak.
You walked aimlessly through the corridors of the Palace, your vision blurred by tears, your steps not so steady. You walked as fast as possible, trying to get as far away from him as possible. You wanted to summon a shai-hulud and head out into the desert, but you couldn't do that in your current state of health.
You tried to breathe properly, but instead you just sobbed, reality crashing down on you more severely with each passing minute. Some servants passed by you with worried or scared expressions, but they didn't say anything and just walked on.
You tried to walk faster but you felt dizzy, so you let out a groan of frustration and placed your hands on your knees, taking a deep breath. The moment was interrupted when two thin, slightly calloused hands held you and guided you to lean against a wall.
Paul.
He made you lean your back against the wall as you tried to free yourself. He held your hands tightly inside his, towards your chin. You were in such bad health that you hadn't even heard him approaching.
"Calm down, calm down, please." he spoke in a soft voice, which you now knew was just a facade.
You moaned weakly at the pain of the grip on your wrists and continued trying to free yourself uselessly, tears now flowing freely down your face. You let out a painful sob and felt your knees weaken.
"Let's talk, calm down." Paul speaks again and you turn tearful eyes to him.
"Talk? How can you ask me that?" you twist your wrists in a frustrated attempt to free yourself. "Let go of me!"
Paul was poisoning you. He knew you wouldn't accept being his concubine after he married Princess Irulan, he knew you would leave and might never see you again. He asked you for some time to talk a few weeks ago and you accepted after much insistence from him, but the conversation ended up being postponed and you remained in the Arrakis palace for longer.
Every time you thought about leaving, Paul found a way to distract you and make you change your mind, and when he started failing to convince you to stay, you started to feel really bad about your health. You felt dizzy, weak bones, some pain, so it was difficult to get to the desert to summon a sandworm.
You would suspect that it was due to the food or the environment, after all you have been used to being exposed to the spice throughout your life and being in an environment with almost no spice could have induced this effect. Well, that could be it, but wasn't.
You knew you shouldn't listen, but you arrived early at Paul's boardroom and overheard him talking to his mother, openly admitting that he had been poisoning you by putting the substance in your food and drink for weeks. He looked scared while he was telling you this, you tried to get out of there but you made noise and he heard you.
"Be reasonable." he begged while still holding your wrists tightly.
"You lied to me." you sniffed
"I did."
"You poisoned me!"
"I did."
"You told me you loved me!"
"I do." you looked into Paul’s pleading eyes. "I do." he repeated.
You tried to pull away, your wrists already sore from his grip, but you felt another dizziness and your consciousness slowly left you.

feyd & paul + text posts (please do not repost without credit)
How did they just read my thoughts??
Obviously I put this in the notes of the original post, but I think I’m on to something here.
I'm too sub, the most I wanna do is slap him about a little so he pins me down.. and... well, whatever he damn pleases 🤷🏻♀️
Very much brat behaviour on my part-
But definitely agreed, ride him til he passes out 🥵
I need to beat the shit out of him and also ride him until he passes out idk
I wanna squish him like a bug.
If anything, my coochie is scared 🙃
My coochie be like:
I'm absolutely TREMBLING
....in fear ;_;
“Oh my god, he’s so scary,” I say as I kick my feet up in the air and giggle like an idiot.
"I accepted to be your wife only to save my father's life. You and I both know that that woman is my true wife and you are merely an agreement with a title, this is a political matter and we must seal the peace and ally with the Great Houses of the Landsraad. Formalities will be respected. But you, Paul Atreides, will get nothing more from me than the name. No child, no caress, no glance, no moment of desire. You will be less than a concubine and you will never know a moment of tenderness from the woman to whom you are bound. Whereas Khayt and I, history will call us wives and matriarchs of the Corrino dynasty."
Weird for so many people to just fancast white kids who look like Timmy as Leto and Ghanima and hold them up to Timmy as proof it’s a good fancast…
…conveniently forgetting that Zendaya will be playing their mom…
if they don't put austin butler in feyd-rautha's metal speedo from the david lynch dune i WILL burn down the theater
dune: part two, dir. denis villeneuve (2024) sharp objects, gillian flynn (2006)
something funny and highly specific to consider about feyd-rautha from a meta perspective is that all of the actors who have played him either are musicians or have played a musician.
in lynch's dune, feyd is played by Sting, lead vocalist and songwriter for The Police.
in jodorowsky's planned adaptation of dune, feyd was planned to be played by (and his design highly based on) Mick Jagger.
in villeneuve's dune, feyd is played by Austin Butler, who shot to fame for his portrayal of Elvis.
also worth noting: all three of these musicians have — to a certain degree — an element of rebelliousness and sex appeal that characterises their 'on-stage' persona.
i mean, just take a look at this quote about Mick Jagger from Philip Norman's symphony for the devil: the rolling stones story:
"[...] his conflicting and colliding sexuality: the swan's neck and smeared harlot eyes allied to an overstuffed and straining codpiece."

I'm tired of this, a lil whitewashing is still too much hollywood is suddenly caring about talent and ability whenever it comes to accurately casting poc characters. They are allergic to casting fully ethic people. I hate it cause I love the show so much but how is this better than what m night did? I am older and have higher standards than i did as a kid until people stop feeding into pandering and giving in whenever there's a few characters appropriately casted they will keep poc's as the side characters villains and continue to cast lighter skinned people as the heros and darker more ethnic people as the villain. Like netflix always takes a huge L when it comes to that, they only cast correct when they cater to specific audiences and usually there is some objectification they are becoming the new disney for me. Urban on the weekends suburbs monday through through friday. Which is cool but why adapt something based on ancient asia if you don't want to cast as accurate as possible. It's not too hard they just have an agenda to push. I've given up on conglomerate companies ever doing the right thing it will always be a catch. Nothing I can do but I can just start ignoring it cause they aren't trying as hard as they say they are. Flashback to everyone bullying the girl who wanted to be katara, its colorism and its ugly and being that this is the second time this has happened I feel like maybe it was the intentiom all along to create a series built of asian mythology to have a cast full of lighter skinned characters play the heros and the most ethic people in the cast are the villains...like I'm greatful for the message of the show but I'm saddened there was never any intention to bring people who it belongs to into the fold. The intention should be for young children all around the world to look and see that darker skinned heros exist all over the world and don't exist only in one racial group. I'm glad they are confronting the gender imbalance present in the show and taking the focus off romance though. Netflix makes too much money for this though. Hollywood makes too much money for this. It's also about colonialsm but I'm guessing they will try and tone that message down because most of hollywood money is ran off of colonialism.
M night shamalan casting the fire nation colonist as indian when india was colonized by great britan makes it clear whoever is funding these movies don't want kids seeing citizens of countries that actually actively colonized various parts of the world as villains. But they will happily cast imperialist china and japan as the villain something they have always been happy to do to take the heat off of them. Which seems to be why the fire nation actors are clearly ethinically asian while the heros are ambigious looking.
Dune is another movie doing a very similar thing but thats so borijg I don't even care to talk about it.
Its very strategic and personally I love blind casting but its clear its only blind when its convient.
“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.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
