reblog with one creative goal that you would like to pursue in 2025 in the tags

it doesn’t have to be ‘big’ and there is no pressure to complete said goal. but i’d love to hear from writers, artists, performers, academics, designers, coders, and so on! 🤍

if it’s a creative outlet, it’s included. let’s inspire each other ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

entranced by Nate and Sterling’s whole thing because I’ve never seen two such swagless men have such an intense homoerotic rivalry. representation for men who are like if magneto and charles xavier shopped at men’s wearhouse.

pitched the concept of "fireman pinup calendar but make it knights" to my straight friend. she called it "very niche" and I just have to disagree

(ps im literally 10 seconds away from making a 2025 pinup knights calendar I guess??)

edit: if you'd like to fill out my form for a knightly pin-up interest check i'd appreciate it :)

Okay so this is a big deal

To me, and to a significant subset of Sir Terry's fans (including most of you who've found this by the tags), his writing is serious commentary on the human condition - politics, prejudice, self-control, revenge vs. justice, religion, idealism, faith in people vs. cynicism, and more - dressed up with fantasy settings and a hefty leavening of humor to make it fun to read. And it is WILDLY fun to read, actual laugh-out-loud or at least a snicker averaging about every page.

But there's this common idea among the "important literature" people that fun and funny books are not also worthwhile or important in the same way.

This is a Discworld book being released WITH ACADEMIC COMMENTARY and AS A PENGUIN CLASSIC. That's a HUGE amount of recognition.
