Best thing I've seen in a while

Discworld Elysium Masterpost

Since I can't edit polls to retroactively link parts together, here's a masterpost of them all, updated while it happens.

Vote to solve a thrilling mystery of assassination and intrigue, or at least to eventually discover if the body in front of you is actually dead or not, that bit has been taking us a while.

I’m on a roll, you guys

Because I can’t deal with life today (and it’s not even noon! Yay!) here’s another batch of my bullshit.

Incredibly accurate

I should probably number these at some point

“‘Ah, Vimes,’ said his lordship as Vimes entered. ‘So kind of you to come. Isn’t it a beautiful day?’ Up until now, Vimes thought, when he spotted the two other people in the room.”

— Terry Pratchett - Thud!

“‘Sam Vimes once arrested me for treason,’ said Vetinari calmly. ‘And Sam Vimes once arrested a dragon. Sam Vimes stopped a war between nations by arresting two high commands. He’s an arresting fellow, Sam Vimes. Sam Vimes killed a werewolf with his bare hands, and carries law with him like a lamp.’”

— Terry Pratchett - Thud!

Lord Vetinari paused. He found it difficult to talk to Frederick Colon. He dealt on a daily basis with people who treated conversation as a complex game, and with Colon he had to keep on adjusting his mind in case he overshot.

Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant

“Vimes and Vetinari exchanged looks. Sometimes Carrot sounded like a civics essay written by a stunned choirboy.”

— Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant

“‘To be sure. I have here another complaint of over-enthusiastic clamping. I’m sure you know to what I refer.’ ‘It was causing serious traffic congestion, sah!’ ‘Quite so. It is well known for it. But it is, in fact, the opera house.’”

— Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant

the relationship between Vetinari and Vimes is sooo funny, because it is extremely aggravating for literally everyone involved. Like at some point they have this kind of companionship, and neither of them are really happy about it ?? they have mutual respect for each other and for both of them it's the most annoying, head-ache inducing thing in the entire world. they are besties and both of them are mad about it. it's " help my weird boss keeps promoting me against my will and teaching me the ways of Evil" and " help my commander that I employed to annoy the rich is making my city better and teaching me the ways of Good". their lives are so entangled with one another they literally couldn't be any closer. their mutual dislike is so important actually because it helps them to hold one another accountable. that little bit of mutual distrust is CRUCIAL. they are actually the epitome of love, and wow do they hate it. they absolutely loathe it. my favourite relationship to be portrayed anywhere ever.

Fresh memes, getcher fresh memes! Nice and hot!

I love how when we are first introduced to Vetinari, he's this all-powerful tyrant with spies everywhere, twenty steps ahead of everyone else, of whom people aren't even sure is human and then he proceeds to spend pretty much 90% of his time in the Watch books and The Truth being a damsel in distress (often with Vimes co-starring as the knight in shining armour) and is still seen as this all-powerful tyrant. Vimes hears someone call Vetinari unkillable and has to stop himself from snorting.

he just does things sometimes

I’m so happy that people seem to like my procrastination fixation activity

Been super busy with lifeTM and have been listening to @malevolentcast  lately, so just had to sketch a bit today during our dnd session since who knows when I have any time the next time otl

So I'm relistening to Malevolent, as you do, and this will forever be one of my favourite interactions ever:

...

My take is that both have a finite amount of commitment in them, and put it all into each other. They don't have enough left for a pet, long-term goals, or an address

since Arthur isn’t a fan, would John be inclined to any animals in particular? he strikes me as a cat-lover, maybe for the shared temperament

No, neither like animals

EDIT: neither are pet people should be a better way of saying this. They can empathize with any creature (lily) and they care about creatures, but they’ll never have pets.

it's okay if you don't pass. it's okay if you don't want to pass. it's okay if you can't pass. you can still find happiness and peace in yourself.

please do express yourself in whatever way makes you happiest - to the best of your ability and safety. who you are is good. you are so wonderful, and people want to see you shine!

Arthur Lester awakes terribly injured, being tended to by a so-called nurse named ‘John Doe’. His horrific, oddly realistic nightmares plague him every night, just as his memory loss plagues him every day. Underneath the notice of his nurse, he begins an investigation to find his missing memories.

Having nearly lost Arthur, John contents himself with simply allowing Arthur the space and time to recover. For the first time, he has new companions to help him: Bella, Parker, and little Faroe. However, an old enemy still lingers out in the cosmos, one who earnestly wants to become whole again.
