Dune Fandom, We Need to Be Hornier About Fluids

There's something wrong when we don't sexualize how much Feyd-Rautha canonically drools like a broken spigot the second he looks excited, and look, we all got distracted with the arranged marriages, the omegaverse, the gender swap fics, the Bene Gesserit Voice kink, the nonstop breeding kink fic, the 'in another life I would have been your wife' soulmate fics. I get it.

But if ever there was a fandom designed almost solely for the purpose of fetishizing the hell out of every variation of the Wet & Messy tags, along with the sacrilegious guilt inherent to Arrakis over wasting water? It's Dune.

Drool. Sweat. Cry. Piss. Cum. Bleed.

There are 1001 prompts from 'so filthy it's profane' to genuinely kind of heartwarming but I want it to get the intensive fanfiction attention.

How do we treat some of our most common forms of humiliation in a world where spitting on the floor in front of someone is a show of greatest respect? Is boot-polishing for someone as a submissive with your tongue an honor or a shameful act because it wastes the water? What are the ramifications of Bukkake on Arrakis?

Imagine someone who has internalized Fremen values and beliefs with an Omorashi kink. Maybe they don't even know they have one, they've used a stillsuit for so long, but suddenly they're exposed, and full, and all they can do is just close their eyes and chant to themselves 'Don't Let It Out' as a litany.

Awaken Dacryphilia kinksters. A literal miracle is documented in the book about the first time Lisan al'Gaib wept and gave water to dead. Villeneuve takes this and makes it into a perverted dream that Muad'Dib steals from the heart of a Southern tribal elder.

Not feeling the PWP stuff? That's fair, we're all still one or three really good fics away from being a little too into something.

How about Hurt/Comfort and Whump fics? I haven't seen any really good severe dehydration scenarios, we need a couple. Stillsuits & Stilltents fail, or are damaged in battle. The old 'drink of my flesh so you may live'. Let's get dirty with Dirty Water. Or honestly, it seems like you can survive at least temporarily with only one canister of it taken.

In general just so many opportunities for bloodplay. But if you wanna stay tamer with it (though Feyd-Rautha's pets at least are canon cannibals) how about the fact that a Crisknife drawn cannot be sheathed without being blooded. This was shown but not stated in the 2021 Dune, so drawing one must be a thoughtful and measured act as you slice your own palm and spill your own water if you put it away in peace.

I speak now with the voice of the Lisan al'Gaib the ghost of Frank Herbert on ZERO authority and call upon all the Dune fandom to get HORNIER about being WET.

THIIISSSSS my god I've been waiting for someone to say it. I'm fat, this movie is incredibly empathetic to Charlies struggles.

Here's the thing I find particularly annoying about any "fatphobia" claims surrounding The Whale: It's mostly thin or what society would consider average-bodied people claiming that it "gawks" or otherwise views the body of the 600lb main character through a negative lens. Focusing just on the way the film shoots Charlie, there is great emphasis on his size because that is the embodiment of his self-destruction. The same way a drug addict self-destructs with substances and an alcoholic with booze or an anorexic with the reverse of this particular ED, it is a film about a man who is in great emotional pain and is self-destructing by overeating and refusing help. The characters around him are also how we get to know Charlie and each one serves to provide context for how things have gotten this far (to the point where we know he is going to die early on bc of his refusal to get the help he needs). And by providing this context and engaging with him, he becomes more and more sympathetic and human. The bingeing scenes are shot in a frenzy bc that is the experience of bingeing and the act is self-destructive, plain and simple. It was heartbreaking to watch as someone who has struggled with a binge eating disorder and who still struggles with food addiction. So, if you leave this film thinking that it "gawks" at Charlie's fatness, it is in fact your own projection of how you view morbidly obese people with a lack of humanity or respect. Much of the discourse seems to be about the use of a fat suit. But there seems to be no concern for the fact that this character is not simply fat--he is morbidly obese to the point of life-threatening. 600lbs is not a livable or healthy weight for anyone and there are no actors that can play this role at this weight safely, and therefore the use of prosthetics and effects is required. This isn't a Shallow Hal or Fat Like Me situation. This isn't a 200-, 300-, or even 400-lb character being vilified for simply existing as a fat person. This is a character that is at a point of weight gain that is unsustainable and directly detrimental to his ability to continue on. He is largely immobile through the film and the issues he deals with are issues people who struggle with this extreme weight deal with every day (heart issues, pain in legs, trouble walking, etc.). At no point does the film ever cosign the negative comments other characters make about his weight. His daughter, who much of the vitriol comes from, is very obviously antagonistic and unlikable, and it is clear that this comes from a place of pain at their shared past. And when his closest friend and caretaker says harsh words, it is clear that it is also from a place of personal pain for the fear of losing him. The film does not suggest that these things are okay to say to someone of this size--only that these are things that hurt people say to hurt those who are hurting them. If you replace Charlie's ED and fatness with any other addiction and corresponding physical deterioration, you can see how the criticism of "fatphobia" is misplaced. To claim this film is fatphobic is to expose your own fatphobia.
