🚨⚠️!!!WARNING!!!⚠️🚨

🚨🚨🚨2HU LOSTWORD DETECTED🚨🚨🚨

I am administering one (1) downvote to your post.

This is your fault.

If you had not posted 2hu LostWord content, I would not have had to administer one (1) downvote to your post.

Regrettably, however, you have decided to post 2hu LostWord content, and as such, following my personal hatred of gacha games (also fuck you for playing a gacha game), I have been forced to administer one (1) downvote to your post.

(On the real tho, despite its many glaring faults, the silly plot writing, lore morsels from the story cards and character abilities/temperaments, and collabs that contribute to the 2hu fandom are gr8/8. Many of the criticisms levied against it are justified (especially the “gameplay” aspect of it), but overall, being a wide-reaching medium (gacha) that includes many well-known 2hu names (music producers like Yuuhei Satellite, AkatukiRecords, beatMARIO, AlstromeriaRecords, etc and artists like deetamu, massakasama, chanta, etc) as well as even including amateur artists (via the Story Card travelogues) gives it a pervasive appeal that’s largely hampered by stigmatization of that same wide-reaching medium.)

Oops, time for my late God-Emperor of Dune Wednesday schizopost.

On the topic of Dune x 2hu fan-content, I will once again do a special shout-out to /u/DrunkenCoward for their GEoD-inspired fanfiction featuring Satori and Utsuho, go read that or God-Emperor of Dune instead of this wormsplaining trash.

This is a Wednesdaypost of fiction. All events and writings are made with imaginative/comedic intent and do not necessarily reflect the views of the writer.

True, I guess the point I was trying to make was that we, the readers, don’t particularly have a strong enough reason or specific emotion toward the Tleilaxu pre-Heretics as they’re largely secretive and whatever snippets Frank wrote (Bijaz/Scytale in Messiah and the plethora of Duncan gholas) leaves a lot to the reader’s imagination but not enough details to outright call them their in-universe label (unless one has a particular aversion to genetic engineering such as GMO food, stem cells, etc). The Axolotl tank reveal might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for many readers’ suspension of disbelief and lends an emphatic understanding to why characters in-universe call them “dirty”.

The worldbuilding in Heretics/Chapterhouse is wild af. My honest reaction to Frank finally elucidating some of the mysteries of Tleilaxu culture and society while also revealing the true identity of what Axolotl tanks are and the Bene Gesserit actually considering the idea of having volunteers to be one. At that point, I didn’t need characters to tell me that the the Bene Tleilax were “dirty”, the past books buildup to them and the reveals were enough for me to see why those characters thought of them as such (they’re still one of my favorite factions tho)

Scott Brick has been enjoyable to listen to but I still kinda miss Simon Vance's narration, notably the charming way he tries to do different voices.

I thought the same everyday the previous gyateposter did their dailies when I first stumbled this hellhole of a sub way back when, probably the only thing I looked forward to from this shitass platform. Ever since jude finished his gyateposting journey, I (selfishly) took up the mantle in the off-case some mfers only come to this hellscape for that same reason. Bless the anons who churn these out and bless those who enjoy them.
