    Toxic masculinity makes men go blind and die rather than follow the Golden Path.

      No kidding.

      He decides “eh, maybe a jihad with 66 billion people killed is fine” but becoming an almost immortal space worm hybrid crosses the line.

        It was more of “I can stop it, I’m the special boy, I can stop it, I can stop it, oh fuck I can’t stop it and now its too late.”

      It’s from God emperor of dune, i think it’s the fourth book in the series by publication, but not chronologically.

      I guess this might be a spoiler if they eventually make it a movie, but basically, the son of Paul merges himself with a sand worm and becomes effectively immortal. It’s both interesting and bizarre.

      There’s a lot more to it than that but i don’t want to ruin the story for anyone
