Dune Part One - Tumblr Posts
“Look at me, it's Timmy T, Boutta hit 'em with a Z-T-E-S-T, Let's do a problem”
Stilgar: Lisan Al-Gaib!!!!!
The more I delve into the universe created by Frank Herbert, the more shocked and surprise I become as things unveil like a knot in a rope. It looks simple, it looks like any child’s play but only if you understand which side to pull first to loosen it all together. I have honestly never been into something this deep like I am for Dune. Both the movies and the books reveal something so poignant that you can’t compare which one is better. The book Chani is nothing but a simple love interest that was created by Paul when he revealed he saw them being married and having kids. It was forced, book Chani had no character revelation instead of being a colonial fremen controlled by a freak created by a Bene Gesserit. But the movie Chani unveils its own narrative of how she chose Paul as a love interest even though he was the son of a Duke. Chani respected Paul as he was doing everything to be a part of the people where men and women are both equal. The equality that Paul chose to become a part of the Fremen made Chani fall for him out of respect and devotion. Everything makes sense but at the same time it doesn’t because as time will pass, upcoming parts of Dune will unveil a new story line and I’m honestly excited to see how they will now portray the characters of women whether it be of princess Irulan, Lady Jessica or Chani herself. The entire movie of Dune: Part 1 revolves around the narration of how Chani is a fedaykin surviving and serving for the people of Arrakis, were as Dune: Part 2 revolves around the importance of the desert spring, that how her tear drop with the water of life gives birth to the true messiah, Lisan Al-Gaib and the death of Paul Usul muad’dib Atreides, the outsider with whom she fell in love with.
I’m pretty sure Vanessa is right now punching air after seeing Austin being gay for Timmy at Dune part 2

Nothing man, was just randomly scrolling through book my show app and noticed that the PVR’s of Delhi are screening the entire Fantastic Beasts franchise at 4K IMAX, as well as Dune: Part 2 for the same and etc.
Man I wish I was rich.
My planet Arrakis is so beautiful when the sun is low. Rolling over the sands... you can see spice in the air.

Dune: Paul Atreides x female reader
Warnings: fluff / angst / hurt reader / teasing
Words: 1.3k
you came home from battle injured & Paul wants to make sure you are alright
_____________________________
„That was awesome!“
The Fremen men and women were cheering in agreement as your group coming back to Sietch Tabr with the sunrise early in the morning. Every step you take, sends little painful impulses through your muscles. The whole night you were fighting against a Spice harvesting ship that belonged to the Harkonnen and although you made a bunch of them pay for their brutal regiment, you came back badly bruised. But you are doing your best to hide the pain your in in front of your friends. It would be even more embarrassing to see their faces covered in pity over you, when the mood is as good as it is right now. The Fremen had another win and kicked some Harkonnen asses. That’s all that counts right now.
„I’m a little drained. Go on and have a drink for me, while I’ll be having a good rest“, you said to your best friend Chani, who is giving you a suspicious look but then nodded.
„You did good today, y/n. And I know for a fact, that Muad’Dib is thinking the same“, she wiggled with her eyebrows, mocking you again. Your eyes darted to the back of the tent, where Paul was sitting with Stilgar. He was already looking at you, not breaking the eye contact once yours met his. Paul was frowning a little, wich made his worried expression even more noticeable. Maybe Stilgar was telling him some bad news or something. You didn’t really care, because all you could think about was the pain that was feeling like needles beneath your skin.
„I don’t care what he thinks. He fought well. And everything else is not important“, you murmured shrugging your hurting shoulders. Big mistake. Your almost flinched because of the pain that was send trough your body again.
You quickly waved Chani goodbye and make your way outside the big community room, back to your private stone cabin, that was placed further away. When you finally reached it, a sigh of relief escaped your throat. Carefully you sit down on the bed out of soft fabric and you close your eyes for a second to calm your thoughts. Today was hard and nothing sounds more tempting than getting this suit off and washing the dirt off of your irritated skin. But the thought that you have to move yourself to make that happen, was like your personal nightmare.
The sound of someone clearing his throat hollowed back from the stonewalls of your room. You quickly turn your head around to catch Paul standing in the doorframe, holding the curtain open. He looks even more worried now than back downstairs.
„Can I come in?“, he asked.
You let out a annoyed sigh. „Sure. What is it, Paul?“
He makes his way up to you, stopping not even two feet away from the bed you were still sitting on. „Are you alright?“
„Obviously. Today was a big win.“
He frowned again. „That’s not what I meant.“
„Then what are you talking about? Speak up.“ Your tone was annoyed, because the last thing you wanted right now was him seeing you in this pathetic state.
„You fought like a demon out there. I have never seen someone so … so passionately killing the bad guys. But … I saw you falling down that cliff. For a second I thought you were dead“, he swallowed hard. „I saw you getting hurt. You must be in enormous pain right now.“
The fact that he had an eye on you while being on the battlefield, surrounded by enemies, made your chest tightened up. He was really looking out for me?
You tried to sound unimpressed. „Well, thank you for your concern but I’m perfectly fine as you can see.“ You stood up and wanted to make him leave your room, but the sharp pain came back like a lighting bolt and you tripped over your own feet. Paul had quick reflexes and catching you before you could hit the ground. „I’m fine“, your voice cracks and burning shame blushed your cheeks.
„No you are not fine, y/n. You need help“, Paul whispered. His arms still wrapped around your waist to hold you up. His eyes right in front of you. So blue you could probably drown in them … although there were little brown spots you never noticed before.
You swallowed. „I don’t need …“
„Oh for fucks sake! Shut up and let me help you“, he demanded. You were so surprised about his little outburst, that you could only nod to give him the permission.
Paul smiled slightly. „Good. You are so stubborn.“
You rolled your eyes on him, not saying anything. He was right, but you didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of you agreeing with him.
With his help, you turned your back to him. He begins to get rid of the many closures of the suit and with every unbuttoning your face feels even warmer. His direct presence was making you nervous and you were not sure how you feel about that effect he has on you.
„You need to relax. Otherwise I could hurt you even more“, his voice was low and for a second you thought you heard a light crack in it. Is it possible that you have the same effect on him?
„It is kinda hard to relax in this … situation“, the words slipped out before you could think about the meaning of them. You bite your tongue as he chuckled softly.
„And why is that?“, you could feel his warm breath on your neck. It sends goosebumps over your drained body. Before you could give him a sassy answer, his fingertips touched the bare skin on your shoulders, gently pulling down the suit. You could feel his hands on your back while Paul was making sure that you didn’t need to move a muscle to get rid of the Fremen desert suit. Underneath you are wearing an thin layer of fabric, cut in the form of a dress that barely covers your butt.
„Are you taking advantage of an helpless and wounded woman, Paul Atreides?“, you say with a strangled voice. Still facing the wall. But Paul was so close, that you could feel his chest touching your back.
Paul gently strokes your hair over one shoulder. His lips almost touching your ear, while he speaks with a breathy voice. „I would never take advantage of you. I know for a fact, that you could kick my ass and slit my throat in no time, even wounded and blinded. But you haven’t done such thing.“
He places a soft kiss on the sensitive skin right beneath your ear and your breathing stops. Your whole body reacting to him like a firework. Just because of a litte stupid kiss. What is happening?
„Did I hurt you?“, he asked as he noticed your reaction. „If you want me to stop, you just have to say one word and I’m …“
„You didn’t hurt me“, you interrupted.
Paul chuckles softly. And you almost hoped, that he would keep on doing where he stopped, but instead you feel how his warm body disappeared from your back. As you peak over your shoulder, he looks at you with deep satisfaction.
„I’ll see if I can get you something to eat and drink. And then I will send you a healer to make sure you’ll get better in no time.“
Your mouth snapped open in disbelief. This jerk just teased you like a champion and now he was looking at you like a little boy, who is more than proud to make fun of you.
„You’re an asshole, Paul Atreides“, you said smiling.
He raises his hands defensively. „I’m just making sure not to take advantage of you.“
🤣
I don’t remember this scene in Dune 😂

Dune (aka Dune: Part One) by Denis Villeneuve.
The first of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel of the same name by Frank Herbert.
I urge you to see this movie.
I loved it and admire it.
Lizards and Pumpkins
AU Young Leto Atreides x fem reader
Summary: A ball is being held in the hopes that Leto Atreides will find an eligible maiden to marry as he is expected to become the next Duke of Caladan.
*This storyline will be similar to Disney’s Live Action Cinderella (2015). There the dress you will be wearing is like that one.
Author's note: This is my first fanfic ever. Therefore, please be kind about any feedback you all may have. Other than that, enjoy and let’s see where it goes from here.
When you get to the bottom of the steps, you notice the man from the forest you met a while back walking towards you. However, you had know idea he was the Leto Atreides of Caladan. You had been told that he was an apprentice in training but you had no idea you were speaking to the next Duke in line.
At this moment, you two are face to face with each other.
“It's you, isn't it?” Leto asks.
“Just so. Your grace…”, you respond and curtsy to him.
“If I may... that is... it would give me the greatest pleasure, if you would do me the honor of letting me lead you through this... the first…”, Leto struggles to say what’s on his mind due to being in a daze by your beauty.
“Dance?” You ask, smiling sweetly at him.
“Yes, dance. That's it.” He finally gets out.
While you and Leto start dancing, you notice the people surrounding you both.
You whisper to him, “They're all looking at you.”
At that statement, Leto smiles and says, “Believe me, they're all looking at you.”
——————————————————————
Leto pushes you gently on the swing in the secluded garden he shows you as you both carry on having meaningful chats.
A clink is heard, and you realize your slipper is off your foot. Upon noticing this, Leto stops pressing you, gets on her knees, and places the slipper on your foot.
With awe, he asks, "It's made of glass?"
"Why not?" you ask him, grinning.
Then, as though he wants to kiss you, he leans in close. "Will you please tell me your true identity?"
After giving it some thought, you say, "If I do, I think everything might be different."
Leto says, "I don't understand," with a perplexed expression. “At least, could you tell me your name?”
Just as you prepare to inform Leto, the clock chimes 11:59. That's when you recall what the fairy godmother said. You say as you turn to face Leto. "I must go now. It is difficult to describe. Pumpkins, lizards, and other things. You tell him you'll never forget it and thank him again for a fantastic night.
Leto murmurs, "Lizards and Pumpkins," as he watches you dash out of the garden. With a smile, he chooses to follow you.
One of your glass slippers slips on the palace steps as you walk to your carriage. Even if at first you want to pick up, you change your mind as you notice Leto approach you and climb inside the carriage.
When the carriage pulls out of the palace, you see Leto stoop to retrieve your slipper. You grin as you recall the amazing evening you spent with Leto. Despite your feeling that this is the final time you will ever see him.
You have no idea that Leto is planning to locate you. In one kind or another.
Lizards and Pumpkins (Part 2)
AU Young Leto Atreides x fem reader
Part 1 Below:
Summary: After the events of the ball and the old, Leto is appointed the newly appointed Duke of Caladan and has finally found the maiden who has won his heart. Will he accept you as you are?
A/N: Though this story was intended to be similar to Disney’s Live Action Cinderella (2015), it will start to go a bit off of that storyline.
As you are being brought to face the newly appointed Duke Leto by Captain Duncan Idaho , you have a lot of thoughts running through your mind. Some of these thoughts consist of: What will the kingdom think of me if I stand by him? Does he feel for me the way that I do for him? Will this relationship last if it goes further?
Going down the steps, you take in your appearance. A light blue dress with a brown petticoat and a white headpiece covering your hair.
Leto looks at you with a smile on his face, happy to finally be in your presence after weeks of searching for you. “Who are you?”
In response, you answer, “I am (y/n). Your grace, I am no duchess. I have no carriage, no parents, no dowry. I do not even know if that beautiful slipper will fit But, if it does--will you take me as I am? A good honest country girl who loves you?”
“Of course, I would. But only if you'll take me as I am, an apprentice still learning his trade. Please…” , he looks at you pleading. You nod.
Leto invites you to sit on a nearby chair as the Captain looks on with a smile as he places the slipper on your foot. To the surprise of neither of you, it fits perfectly.
You then take his hand and walk out with him out to the palace.
*This was a very short story. Wondering if I should write a chapter about their wedding and honeymoon.

Part 1:
Part 2:
Summary: After the events that occurred, you and Leto are finally getting married. This will also lead to your wedding night into the start of your honeymoon.
A/N: Thank you everyone who took the time to vote! Appreciate the feedback. Also, please ignore the beard in some of the pics I used from dune since Leto in this fanfic has no beard (yet).
A/N #2: please read the two previous parts to this story to be up to date on the events that took place so far.
The first time he sees you walking down the aisle in your wedding dress, Leto is trying to hold back his tears. Seeing you in your white lace, off the shoulder wedding dress with your hair in a braid does things to him.
When you are finally face to face with him. Smiling at him as he takes your hand into his. To him, this all feels like a dream. Being able to marry you, his true love. The one he met by chance in the forest with fate allowing you to keep finding one another, so that you both can be in this moment. Together.
_________________________________________
Both of you have a hard time listening to the officiant, as both of you have these loving looks all the guests can see you giving one another. In fact, there were a few laughs going on as Leto was unaware that he was expected to recite his vows to you.
Once you both have exchanged vows, you both place each of your rings on the other's hands.
“I now pronounce you man and wife. You may no-“, the offiant starts but is interrupted by you and Leto kissing one another for the first time as husband and wife. Everyone cheers.
_________________________________________
As the festivities of your wedding banquet comes to a close, Leto and you thank everyone that attended your celebration. From this, you both walk out of the dining hall, hand-in-hand, and start walking towards the bedroom you will be sharing as a married couple.
Out of nowhere, Leto lifts you into his arms, carrying you over the threshold of your newly shared bedroom. This results in the two of you giggling and smiling at one another.
Once you both are inside the room, Leto puts you down and then steps back. He locks the door and begins to walk towards the bed.
“Will you join me, my love?” Leto asks you, his voice low and husky.
“Yes. Let me just freshen up in the restroom real quick”, you respond sweetly.
Leto nods as you leave the room. His heart pounds as he waits for your return. His hands are trembling at the anticipation of you lying next to him.
Nevertheless, Leto decides to use the time to unbutton his shirt and take off his shoes.
________________________________________
As you add the finishing touches to your look, you are anxious. Never once has a man seen you in such little clothing as Leto is about to see you in. Though this thought alone begins to make you smile. For you trust Leto to be your first in all aspects as he has shared so many with you in the time you’ve both have known each other.
With one more deep breath and a quick touch up to your hair, you then come out wearing a white mesh slip with matching undergarments.
“What do you think, Leto?”, you ask as you approach the bed slowly.
_________________________________________
As you open the door and make your way back into the room, Leto’s eyes pop wide. His jaw drops to the floor and he just stares at you.
“My dear, you are even more stunning than you were in your dress that you wore for the wedding ceremony.”
Leto walks up to you with his hands out.
“May I?” he asks as he gestures for you to step forward.
You nod.
Leto takes your hands in his as he leads you to the bed, laying you down in his arms. He can’t contain himself any longer.
Leto lays you down on the bed and starts to gently kiss your neck and chest. His hands make their way under your lingerie and he starts to caress you.
_________________________________________
You wake up Leto’s arms locked around you and feel his warm breath against your cheek.
“(Y/n)?” he said softly as he kissed your forehead.
Leto started kissing your neck and chest as you were waking up from your slumber.
“Good morning my love,” he said before kissing you gently on the lips. “I hope that your first night as my wife was memorable for you.”
“It was. Thank you”, you respond and nuzzle into his bare chest. “It was. I hope the night was memorable for you as well, husband.”
After a minute of silence, you look up to him and ask with puppy dog eyes. “ Can we stay in bed and cuddle a bit longer before heading out to our honeymoon destination?”
Leto nods his head.
“Of course love. I would like that very much.”
He then starts to rub your bare shoulder and back.
Upcoming Story…
“Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?”
“You're in Caladan.”
“Caladan, can’t say I’ve heard of that city or country before.”
“My lady. Caladan isn’t any of those things. It’s a planet. The one that has proudly been my ancestral home, House Atreides Home, for about 10,000 years.”
“Planet? 10,000 years? Wait…” You begin taking in your surroundings more seriously as well as the information this man has told you. “What year is it?”
“10,172.”
“Oh.”
As soon as the handsome man finishes telling you this, the last thing you see is darkness.
No way are you that far into the future. One minute you were asleep in your room, the next you end up in an unknown place and time.
A/N: As you all can see, this is an upcoming Duke Leto AU x fem!reader story that I’m playing with but I’m still trying to figure out how to move forward with it. Still a bunch of brainstorming and drafting to do.
I have a feeling we aren’t in the 21st century anymore! (Chapter 1)
AU Young Leto Atreides x fem! reader
Summary: You find yourself in a time and place you aren’t familiar with. Now trying to find your way home, you come across a man unlike any other.
Everyday the same thing happens. You go to work. Tend to your responsibilities at home. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
Though you know you should enjoy the monotony of knowing how and when things are going to happen, you can’t help but still yearn for more to do with your life.
Despite getting your degree and finding a part-time job to pass time until you are able to find a more permanent career path, you can’t help but feel as if you aren’t living your life the way you should be. Still in your early twenties and have no idea what you’re supposed to be doing with your life. Nevertheless, you go by the motions because you hold onto the hope that one day everything will fall into place as it should.
After finishing your nightly routine, you get into the sheets of your bed and close your eyes. Believing that what you’re seeking out of life will find you soon.
_________________________________________
When you wake up, you are shocked to see that you are no longer in your room. Instead, you seem to be inside a passageway of some kind that looks to have been abandoned based on the amount of cobwebs and dust you try to avoid inhaling.
Noticing the lanterns at the bottom, you decide to follow them in the hopes that it will lead you out of here.
As you make your way out of the passageway, you take notice of how dark everything is. A few minutes pass and you finally seem to be getting somewhere when you see a brown wooden door. You then open the door as quietly as you can to get an idea of where you are since you heard voices.
Looking from the doorway, you notice that the area is heavily surrounded by guards, male and female, wearing heavy metal suits.
Almost looks like something you see in sci-fi movies, you thought.
Noticing that none of them are facing you directly, you decide that your best plan of action would be to slowly walk away from their direction and begin walking where your feet will carry you. You have no idea where that is but anything is better than sitting around doing nothing at all.
Before moving forward with this plan, you barely remembered that you are still wearing your Dr. Strange Multiverse shirt and flannel looking shorts . Realizing that you will already stick out, you decide it may be best to try and draw less attention to yourself.
Looking around you, you notice there’s a long, brown hooded cape that is hanging on what looks to be a nail. Deciding it’s your best bet, you shake out whatever mess you could off of it and put it on.
You check if the close is clear one more time before heading out.
So far, so good, you thought.
You feel confident that you are about to get out soon until you suddenly hear a voice behind you ask.
“ Are you lost?”
_________________________________________
Thinking through your opinions carefully, you decide to feign ignorance (mostly because you have no idea where you are) and pretend you are looking for directions out of me.
As you turn around, you almost hold your breath at the man in front of you. This man is one of the most handsome men you’ve ever seen.
He is of average height with wavy hair and kept up facial hair and is wearing a dark green uniform of some kind.
Although, the think that you are most entranced with by him his dark brown eyes. As they seem to have this intensity that would make any woman feel special.
Not wanting to look more like a fool in front of him due to you lack of a quick response, you decide to talk to him.
“Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?”
“You’re in Caladan castle.”
“Caladan, can’t say I’ve heard of that city or country before.”
“My lady. Caladan isn’t any of those things. It’s a planet. The one that has proudly been my ancestral home, House Atreides Home, for about 10,000 years.”
“Planet? 10,000 years. Wait…” You begin taking in your surroundings more seriously as well as the information this man has told you. “What year is it?”
“10,172.”
“Oh.”
As soon as the handsome man finishes telling you this, the last thing you see is darkness with so many running thoughts.
No way are you that far into the future. One minute you were asleep in your room, the next you end up in an unknown place and time.

I have a feeling we aren’t in the 21st century anymore! (Chapter 2)
AU Young Leto Atreides x fem! reader
Part 1:
Summary: You find yourself in a time and place you aren’t familiar with. Now trying to find your way home, you come across a man unlike any other.
A/N: The reader’s dialogue is in pink and Leto’s is in blue. Also, thoughts will be italicized.
The first thing you feel when you wake up is a coolness on your forehead. Reaching for your forehead, you feel a wet rag there.
You then open your eyes to see that the same man that you were talking with earlier seems to be in conversation with some medics (you’re assuming). However, you notice that these individuals tending to you seem to have a diamond tattoo on their forehead. Also, you seem to be wearing some sort of gray hospital-looking gown instead of the clothes you came in.
____________________________________________
So many thoughts are running through your mind right now.
How did I end up so far into the future? Last night, I was sleeping in my bedroom and I woke up in some strange place. A planet to be exact. This has to be some weird fever dream. Maybe I finally cracked under pressure and this is a result of that.
Yes, that’s what this is…A fever dream. The sooner I come to terms with that, the sooner I’ll wake up in my room and in my own time.
As you are trying to reason with yourself, the handsome man and medics notice you’re awake and speak up.
“You gave me quite a scare, my lady. When I caught you in my arms, I felt your forehead and you were burning up. Therefore, I thought it was best to bring you here where my medics can take care of you.”
You nod, not trusting yourself to say anything.
“Don’t be afraid, my lady. I don’t wish you any harm. I just want to help you”, he says, taking your hand gently to his to soothe you.
Great! I really must be losing my sense of reality for the handsome man to be this gentle and kind with me. Why does this have to be a dream?
“Get some rest, my lady. We’ll talk later.”
He then takes your hands and gives them a gentle kiss. You blush as you feel his beard tickle your hands.
The handsome man then walks outside with the doctors following him.
Though this is nice, I can’t stay here.
_________________________________________
Leto walks out to talk with his medical team away from you. He feels you’re afraid right now and doesn’t want you to be anymore than you already are.
Leto can’t figure it out but there’s something about you that draws you to him. Not just in looks but in the way you presented yourself to him so far.
“Make sure to keep me updated on progress every hour.”
The medics nod and make notes of this.
“Thank you.”
Leto walks away to let the medics get back to caring for you.
He isn’t too far away from the medics calling him, telling him that you were no longer laying down where he last left you.
Where did you go?
