this is a very minor thing, but I appreciate how the dark skinned character has lighter skin on their palms! that's not even like a mandatory thing to animate but I see that lil detail and I think it's very cool, nice :3 I crave chocolate pretzels now

Handshakes hurt when hand-bones misalign under pressure; the misalignment occurs around the curled digits then transfers into the hand-bones: pointing the first two fingers straight when shaking hands is barely noticeable but disregards the hand-crush imperviously, the hand-bones aren't going to rotate unnaturally because the fingers haven't curled into position.

That's absolutely the number-one reason for handshakes to hurt. The number-two reason is, of course, being stabbed by the Gom Jabbar.

So glad you did this bit not just because everything you make is exquisite, but the first time I heard this I hadn't read dune. Now I still haven't finished dune, but I read enough to get the joke (before I got very angry at the book and realized maybe it wasn't for me)

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I knew it was all the point as I'd heard that before, but it's just a bit tired either way. I don't begrudge anyone who likes the books, of course. The specific thing that irritated me was the use of women in the book and also the way binary gender is discussed. It was just a lot of the same ol', same ol' and I just could stand reading another sci-fi book like that. Again, don't judge or dislike anyone who likes the books, I just decided my time could be better spent elsewhere.

You're working at a local soup kitchen to do something nice for your community this holiday season and go to hand the next homeless person a bread roll to compliment the soup, but what's that in your other hand- THE GOM JABBAR!

Shout in pain, say that you think they may have broken your hand, and repeatedly ask them "why did you do that?"
