Grimes thinks she’s Lady Jessica, I guess because she spins bullshit tales about her kid becoming the Chosen One. She thinks he’ll be like Paul Atreides, who launched a Holy War that kills billions. Great. 🫠

When she finally saw the movie, she realized to her astonishment that this story she’d adored since she was far too young for it, that she knew almost by heart, that inspired her first album—this story was now her story. Specifically Lady Jessica’s story. This goes by fast onscreen, but Jessica (played by Rebecca Ferguson) is not a wife but a concubine. Grimes saw herself in Jessica, and she saw X in Jessica’s son, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet). Paul is more than a duke’s son. He’s a chosen one, tasked with becoming a great leader. “When I see X,” she says, “like, I just know X is going to have to go through all this really fucked-up shit that sort of mirrors Paul-type stuff.” Watching it wrecked her. “I was just crying my eyes out the whole movie.”

    @parismarx I forgot they named their human child what I’d write if I sneezed while dictating and for a second thought she was getting extremely emotional about Twitter.
