Reading a Terry Pratchett book is literally just: Here's a funny little joke Here's something that you can tell is a joke but don't get and will only figure out five years later Here's a surprisingly cool fantasy concept Here's a unique and well written simile Here's a lil guy Here's something that has aged depressingly well into the modern day Here's something that has aged remarkably queer into the modern day Here's a character that you can barely understand what he's saying Here is the most terrifying and deeply disturbing concept you have ever heard, casually mentioned Here is the dumbest fucking pun you've ever heard but in the best way Here is a quote so profound that it makes you view morality and the world in a different way Here is a plot twist that you can't tell if it's genius or stupid Congratulations! You've finished the book! It has fundamentally changed you as a person and you will never be the same!

Rincewind is not so much doomed by the narrative as doomed to be part of the narrative at all. He does not want to be in these books. Let him out

fundamentaly embarrassing to show reference pictures to the hairdresser. Like yeah. Hey. Here's a picture of a guy who looks cool. One day I would liketo look cool as well. Can you try to make me look cool. With these paltry ingredients Can you try your very best to alchemize a guy who looks cool right now. In 30 minutes, can you make me into a person. Hey, for twenty five dollars, can you fuck my shit up forever? Could you give me a haircut. Is that too much to ask. Could you cut my hairs

famously, any guy can just go to antarctica. so why not me

Cooking horror game where you play as a cook working in the galley of a ship in the 1800s. There’s some kind of supernatural nautical horror story going on in the background but you barely notice this because you spend all day cooking in the galley.

do NOT sort by kudos the real play is to find the most prolific writers in the hockey rpf tag and go to their profile to see if they’ve written a single bizarrely high-quality fic for the fandom you��re actually looking for

The fact that Tolkien realized he’d created inconsistency for LotR with the first published version of The Hobbit and then retconned it with the in universe explanation of “Bilbo is a liar,” is never going to stop being both equal parts brilliant and funny.

I think when you apply to be the guy that designs university websites you have to verify that you have never studied web design

my uncle killed my father and married with my mother and now i must *remembers that suicide jokes do nothing for my mental health and wellbeing* put on a play

...I found the “girl falls into middle earth” fic I wrote when I was 11

We've been browsing posts about other people's LotR-inspired weddings for inspiration, and obviously there's a spectrum ranging from "used the movie font for one piece of decor" to "every single guest is dressed as a hobbit," but my favorite is "this looks like just a normal wedding in almost every way, but also Gandalf is there."
