?? Warning: Dune spoilers below!! ??

I come to you today with heavy hands, ready to admit defeat.

Like millions of other people, I saw Dune over the weekend, and I can officially say with full confidence that I get it now. I get why so many of y'all are ready to lay down your lives for a one Timothée Chalamet.

For so long, I have been consistently confused with the obsession over old Timmy.

Obviously, the man is attractive, but I didn't think he was at a level that justified the passionate declarations of love I consistently see for him across social media.

I thought he was hot in the way that the tall, gangly theater kid you had a crush on in high school was hot.

But boy was I wrong.

Let me preface by saying, I've seen almost all of Timothée's movies, but it wasn't until Dune that I truly understood.

The man ENTERED the screen in the first five minutes with a jawline ready to cut glass.

Although, I was not a fan of the "Voice" thing. He sounded like Decepticon in Transformers.

And then he's out here looking all proper and important.

It feels like a crime to let him walk around in this slightly unbuttoned, white shirt.

He has a way of carrying himself that just screams, "I'd make it about you."

Also, anytime he was in a scene with Jason Momoa I...felt things.

But I think what really did it for me was the utmost RESPECT he has for all people and all cultures.

Yes, the bar is truly so low.

Well, that and his wind-swept hair.

I could write sonnets about his hair.

Like, are you kidding me???

It should also be noted that 75% of my attraction to him is because of Zendaya/increases when he's with Zendaya.

Being in a movie with Zendaya makes him instantly hotter.

But nevertheless, I can now officially re-enter society as a simp for Timothée Chalamet.
