Good Omens Fans- This Is A Psa!!

Good omens fans- this is a psa!!

So one of the writers of GO is Neil Gaiman. Who, of course, did an excellent job and deserves all the credit he gets. But you know who cowrote Good Omens?

Terry Pratchett.

And you know what else Terry Pratchett wrote?

Discworld!!

This is your sign to read discworld- a comedy fantasy series of 41 separate but interconnected books about everything from a wizard who can’t do magic to the invention if steam trains. If this interests you, read on!

Why you should read Discworld:

It has lots of the best bits of Good Omens. Like the footnotes? Discworld has plenty of those. Like the puns? It’s got those, too. Like the vivid, unique, compelling characters with plenty of room for fanfic? Yep, we have so many of those.

It has loads of content. 41 books! But don’t let that dissuade you, because there are separate storylines and standalone books that you can read without touching the others. You could read them all, too, if you’d like !

The books deal with big matters while staying lighthearted. Case in point: there’s a book about Death dressing up as Santa which deals with what it means to be human.

There’s something for everyone. Some of the books really feel like fantasy (coven of witches stops twisted cinderella story, guards save city from raging dragon), some feel like wacky adventures (invention of the movie industry goes Horribly Wrong, cat runs pied piper scam) and some barely feel like fantasy at all (girl dresses up as a boy to go to war, turns out she’s not the only one; ex-conman must revive postal service) but all of them have wonderful plots.

The prose is vivid and the dialogue is great, plus of course there’s the humour!

If this appeals to you, here’s a flowchart that might help you figure out where to start.

Good Omens Fans- This Is A Psa!!

Happy reading!

Ok folks. We gotta watch The Sandman. Again and again. Have it running in the background whenever you’re on your laptop.

Seriously.

Ok Folks. We Gotta Watch The Sandman. Again And Again. Have It Running In The Background Whenever You’re

It is ridiculous that this is what it takes. But “engagement” matters. Especially binging engagement.

Please. Please? Please???!!?

Look at this:

Ok Folks. We Gotta Watch The Sandman. Again And Again. Have It Running In The Background Whenever You’re

We’ve only seen two of these books. Plus two short stories from the third. There is so much more story!!

Go. Watch.

i’m gonna say it.

there is nothing wrong with you for liking cartoons, comic books, cosplays, dolls, nickelodeon, cartoon network, superheros, disney, fanfiction, video games, drawing, basically anything that is label to be “kids stuff.”  life is too damn short to be boring; who the hell wants to just be into things are acceptable by adult standards. 

enjoy the things that make you happy, and if it’s something that people view as immature and childish you should not be ashamed. you are fine the way you are.

GUYS GUESS WHAT

I took my friend (who doesn't get out much and needs to have a quiet retreat space) to the library today.

I FORGOT HOW RAD THE LIBRARY IS.

-My library has private rooms with locking doors that you check out with your library card and then have keycard access to.

-These rooms are made of plexiglass for Obvious Reasons, but still. Rooms.

-I checked out a Lounge space and, guys, it's a balcony.

-It's over the main entrance to the library so you can see everyone coming in and out. The door locks so it's private, but it's also open air to the tall ceilings and has SO MUCH natural light.

-literally so much natural light the one exterior wall is floor-to-ceiling windows with a view over a fountain and a courtyard and the local shopping district. the sunset was rad.

-My laptop connected directly to the WiFi.

-There were so many people there! There are chairs spread throughout and a bunch of computers and people just chilled and hung out!

-My friend was thrilled to be able to navigate a quiet space with strangers who didn't speak to her, and then to have a retreat space.

-My library also has a Makerspace (!!!) and a Cricut machine (!!!) and I can email someone and get trained in how to use it!

-Someone was in the recording booth and I couldn't tell what she was reading but it sounded cool.

-There's a whole room along the side of the upstairs that's just for teens. Like literally just. The sign says that if you're not a teenager you should see the staff for other rooms. There wasn't anyone there when I stuck my head in but there's a giant whiteboard and orb-style chairs and

-sorry I forgot to mention that my balcony has not only a couch but also several big comfy chairs (like, I can sit on my chair and put my feet on it too and balance my book on my knees and it's STILL not too small of a chair) and a couple coffee tables and a corner where the sunlight isn't direct y'all it's so nice

-I'm so glad my tax dollars went to this, guys. We're stuck on campus for Thanksgiving break and we desperately needed to go somewhere that didn't cost money.

-for as much as I get on about the necessity of Third Spaces, you think I'd remember this.

-I also found out my friend likes Agatha Christie novels. She read me a section while I washed dishes tonight, and I think I'm gonna like them too.
