Oh my God you're scaring me, is it going to be 'it's okay since actually he's a 5,000-year old Duncan in the body of a teenaged Duncan'

Don't say anything, I want to find out for myself

The crysknife I wear around my neck contains an essence that gets recharged when I "ride a worm" with a bro who also has a crysknife. It gives me confidence in the erg, sietch, spice orgy, etc. Nobody knows it's a special crysknife but me and my bros. I have seen it glow white while riding with a bud thats how I know this is real. You can come over for as long as you want but I need a solido of you preferably wearing a crysknife before I waste my time.

You are a genius and I love you. I want to have your babies.

Matt Berry giving Dune (1984) the "Wizard People, Dear Reader" treatment would be life-changing.

I always loved how utterly mundane of a name Jessica is, I often laugh when I see it in these otherwise esoteric sentences. Is this part of Herbert's subversion of SF tropes? I am new to the Duneverse.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I mean, the protagonist is literally Paul. The line between 'normal' names and 'fantasy' or 'old-timey' names can get very fuzzy. Especially given all the likely deliberate religious allusions.

One of the things I love about the One True Herbert is his deliberate mixing of archaic, modern, and far-future themes and ideas. It makes the future world feel a lot more real than sci-fi that feels like it has to force everything into a pseudofuturistic framing (looking at you @Duneauthor).

I am also a native Dutch speaker and it's always been a bit strange to see all of the pseudo-Dutch names and terms in the Witcher universe. I'm not used to anyone bothering with that in fantasy properties. I suppose that to a Pole, Dutch is somewhat exotic, and as a language it's minor enough that it's not going to trigger that feeling of familiarity for most readers.

Which names and terms are pseudo-Dutch?

It's been a while since I played the Witcher games, but Dijkstra is an extremely Dutch (or Frisian if you want to be pedantic) name which is actually quite common in real life. There's also Brugge, which I assume is derived from, uh, Brugge. Come to think of it, they're not so much pseudo-Dutch as straight up Dutch. These are just off the top of my head.

I just kinda figured Herbert didn't like the guy and so made him a villain to amuse himself. I just read on Wikipedia that (Peter) de Vries was in OSS during the war. Among other things, Herbert was critical of secret police, so maybe that had something to do with it.

Reading messiah for the first time. I like how so far it's like the revival season of arrested development, where they are recounting everything that happened between the end of dune and the beginning of messiah. Really sucks that there's no glossary and how every Herbert term has to be defined in the text, sometimes in really clunky asides
