Thinking Non-stop About The Terry Pratchett Method Of Deconstruction (TM) And How It Works

thinking non-stop about the Terry Pratchett Method of Deconstruction (TM) and how it works

[...] the wages of sin is death, but so is the salary of virtue, and at least the evil get to go home early on Fridays. (Witches Abroad)

Take a common concept, metaphor, idiom, trope etc. "The wages of sin is death."

Invert, reverse or subvert it to highlight the inconsistency or issue. "But so is the salary of virtue." (Well, actually, everybody dies, right?)

While everybody's contemplating the philosophy revealed, overextend the metaphor and whack them in the back of the head with the joke like a comedic quintain while they aren't expecting it. "At least the evil get to go home early on Fridays."

He does it quite often and I love it every time.

I'm going to do it, I'll out all the brilliant, profound notes on my half-assed, tired and pretentious ramble.

But first, a much-needed bit of context. I was vaguely aware of some of these, and I am guilty of focusing more on the voices myself. This is because I can do a bad drawing of an aspect of an amorphous bird man and it looks a lot better than if I mess up drawing a woman. I don't draw humans well.

I'm Going To Do It, I'll Out All The Brilliant, Profound Notes On My Half-assed, Tired And Pretentious

Some extra things in other reblogs, I can see them all and others should too, these perspectives have shaped my own:

I'm Going To Do It, I'll Out All The Brilliant, Profound Notes On My Half-assed, Tired And Pretentious
I'm Going To Do It, I'll Out All The Brilliant, Profound Notes On My Half-assed, Tired And Pretentious

By the way, I like the Shifting Mound more than any other character in the game. Have done for a while, I hadn't considered misogyny being a problem before this post.

I'm Going To Do It, I'll Out All The Brilliant, Profound Notes On My Half-assed, Tired And Pretentious

Oh, for sure. That route is why I assign colours to the voices in my art. It's fun to imagine them with unique designs.

I shan't say directly what I think they'd look like properly, though, because I want to imply it.

Absolutely bizarre to me that the Princess doesn't get more love; she's amazing and charming in pretty much every iteration, and I wish I could shut those voices up half the time because they make things worse or take ages.

Do you guys think the reason so much fanart exists for the voices is not because of them being great characters (all the characters in STP are), but instead because we spend more time in our own heads than we ever will with a version of the princess?

I get it. They're inherently relatable because they reflect our previous actions through any route and set the tone of each chapter. They bicker with us and are able to see every option we take.

But, maybe the princesses are underrated. As in, she's always an outsider. How quickly would she be more beloved if the voices would shut up and let us do our stuff, or if they were seperate from us?

How then would we judge the impulsive contrarian, the weak-willed hero or the depressed cold? Would we appreciate paranoid were he more than a life support?

Ask yourself that, and ponder it awhile. Don't say it to anyone. Just an hour of your independent thoughts, clear of little voices.

Thanks to everyone who voted!

I'm surprised at the popularity of the time controller/strategist and tbh, I voted for the New Paradigm version to see what was voted for in advance. I guessed it wasn't going to win any points regardless.

It will be the black supreme who gets the glory of leadership, by popular vote. Again, kind of expected; black has always looked good on these guys.

I'll reblog again when my Dalek forces are complete.

Quick question for the Dr Who fandom here, but I need to give context.

I'm making 3 polymer clay daleks (2005 design). 1 is almost done, another will also be a drone. But I'd like a Supreme to boss them around and I'm stuck on colours.

So I'm asking Tumblr to know: which Dalek Supreme / other leader rank has the best colours?

Classic black:

Quick Question For The Dr Who Fandom Here, But I Need To Give Context.

Revival red:

Quick Question For The Dr Who Fandom Here, But I Need To Give Context.

Purple time controller:

Quick Question For The Dr Who Fandom Here, But I Need To Give Context.

New Paradigm white:

Quick Question For The Dr Who Fandom Here, But I Need To Give Context.

Please note that this is likely just the colours I will use. The time controller would likely get rings, the red version would probably get the butresses and both all versions would be rocking the modern eyes and standard lights but besides that, I'll just be adding colours to the 2005 drone.

Very profound.

I got a bad grade in math (i still passed, so im happy about that lol) and i was feeling bad about that - mostly because i used to be awesome at math.

Then i was like 'Rincewind is a terrible wizard, but he's still a wizard' so maybe it's okay to not be the greatest at something, because at least you're doing it.

I may not be Van Gogh, but at least im actually creating something.

Maybe im not Pterry, but at least im writing.

And you know what? That's okay. That's enough for me
