Maybe the same character that is touch starved is also touch averse. What then huh? When they shiver at the brush of a hand, when the thought of an embrace makes them recoil, when all they ever wanted is a reassuring touch, another warm body to melt into, an opportunity to finally relax. What then? When these instincts fight each other? What then huh?
How did they just read my thoughts??
Obviously I put this in the notes of the original post, but I think I’m on to something here.
I'm too sub, the most I wanna do is slap him about a little so he pins me down.. and... well, whatever he damn pleases 🤷🏻♀️
Very much brat behaviour on my part-
But definitely agreed, ride him til he passes out 🥵
I need to beat the shit out of him and also ride him until he passes out idk
I wanna squish him like a bug.

something funny and highly specific to consider about feyd-rautha from a meta perspective is that all of the actors who have played him either are musicians or have played a musician.
in lynch's dune, feyd is played by Sting, lead vocalist and songwriter for The Police.
in jodorowsky's planned adaptation of dune, feyd was planned to be played by (and his design highly based on) Mick Jagger.
in villeneuve's dune, feyd is played by Austin Butler, who shot to fame for his portrayal of Elvis.
also worth noting: all three of these musicians have — to a certain degree — an element of rebelliousness and sex appeal that characterises their 'on-stage' persona.
i mean, just take a look at this quote about Mick Jagger from Philip Norman's symphony for the devil: the rolling stones story:
"[...] his conflicting and colliding sexuality: the swan's neck and smeared harlot eyes allied to an overstuffed and straining codpiece."
