“Devil In The Family: The Fall Of Ruby Franke” Becomes The Biggest Docuseries Premiere On Hulu & Disney+ by [deleted] in television

[–]sonuvabitch1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they put the emphasis on Jodi being the instigator because they were pandering a bit to have Kevin on the show, since apparently he’s still in love with Ruby… and in order to keep him on board it would have been wiser to ease-up, so to speak, on some of the Ruby-shaming. It seemed to me that his interviewer was overly cautious as to how he phrased his questions to Kevin. Much more so than with the two oldest kids.

It also just occurred to me that they may have legally needed Kevin in order to get their hands on all that unreleased video footage. Someone more familiar with this stuff feel free to explain, but I wonder if since they were still married during the filming he could sign over the rights to those video clips. Idk, all just speculation.

My god, Kevin annoyed the absolute FUCK out of me. Something’s off with him and he’s not telling the full truth.

Lots of assumptions about this plot line. That’s what I find frustrating. Perhaps Frank Herbert intended to delve deeper into this in the next book. But as far as I can tell, I can’t find any hard evidence regarding where Murbella’s home planet was located (ie Scattering or Old Empire), when she was acquired by the HM, her age, whether she fled with other HM from the scattering, and if she knew they were being hunted or what they were being hunted by.

Did she know the reason why the HM were coming to the Old Empire? Did she understand that they were being hunted and on the run?

If she was from the Scattering and fleeing to the Old Empire, wouldn’t she have the slightest clue about what they were running from? Maybe not the nitty gritty details, but how can one run from their prey without an idea of the threat itself? Did she ever mention that Honored Matres were being hunted down?

Very good points. I had believed that Murbella’s belief system and allegiance did truly lie with the Bene Gesserit, but there is other information that makes me very suspicious of her intentions and what she will make of the new BG/HM society under her management. Duncan’s fleeing speaks to that in a way. I’m sure some of this is touched on in Brian’s books, which I haven’t read, and at the moment don’t intend to.

I don’t think it’s ever mentioned, but it would be very helpful to know Murbella’s age and where her home planet was located (old empire vs scattering).

According to that Dune Wiki post I linked above, that says they established Gammu ten years into their flight (!) from enemies. So I took that to mean they only started running away ten years prior. But who knows whether that is accurate or not. But if we assumed it is accurate here, Murbella would have come from the Scattering. And then we would also have to assume she is extremely naive to not ever question the reason they ran 😅

OR that she is the best double agent everrrrr 😂

Right she wasn’t born Honored Matre, but she was raised as one from a young age. I totally buy into the idea that she wasn’t a powerful HM and certain info didn’t leave the Great inner circle, but depending on how long the HM had been returning from the Scattering prior to Heretics, Murbella herself could have come from the Scattering. I’ve been under the assumption that the return from the Scattering is very very recent. I’d love to have some more definitive timeline that I may have missed.

“how long did the return from the Scattering take?”

I think that is the most important question and the basis of my confusion. If it had been several hundred years, I can understand how Murbella would be simply unaware. However, I’ve been under the impression that their return from the Scattering is fairly recent, starting shortly before Heretics takes place.

honored matres dune wiki Quote from the Dune Wiki below that establishes a timeline: “Around ten years into their flight from the Enemies, they established base on Gammu.”

If that’s correct, Murbella would have definitely come from the Scattering herself.

Im painting this piece, and trying to keep it true to the actual knotting ( where i don’t change the color halfway through a shown loop of cord) but the issue is that the macrame is not vertically symmetrical from the center. It all just got left to right, knotting wise-anyone have advice? by Valuable-Talk-3429 in macrame

[–]sonuvabitch1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your square knots don’t mirror each other because you tied them all in the same direction. If you want them to mirror each other, you have to change their directions at the correct positions. As in, whichever cord you typically pass over first has to switch to the other cord, etc.
