Missed opportunity to not make a nozaki nendo of him wearing that sailor uniform lol

So true! You are so right! Anon you gotta call the good smile company and share your idea.

While you propose that, I'll propose that they make a nozaki bunny suit figurine.

(Plus, a Kashima nendroid. Ofc. The prince deserves her own nendo)

Things baked into Terry Pratchett books that I didn't realise at first but very much needed and benefited from:

Being unpleasant, weird, socially difficult, off-putting, uncomfortable to be around, annoying, obnoxious, etc does not equal being a bad person

And it definitely doesn't mean others don't have a duty of baseline care about you

They don't have to like you but there is a baseline "we live in a society and I care about what happens to the people around me" type of duty that you are owed

They can think you're unpleasant to be around and even stupid and cringe in your presence but there is a duty of care to your existence

And if you are doing bad things you can stop

There are always chances to think about your actions and why you're doing them and if you really believe it's the right thing

There is always an option to stop

And some people do

And some people don't

But if people do that doesn't mean they aren't still maybe unpleasant to be around or awkward or uncomfortable

The "bad guys" in Terry Pratchett tend to

1. Believe they are in the right

2. Never question that belief

3. Have multiple opportunities to not be doing what they are doing but fully commit

4. May have points that at least feel reasonable on a surface level if you don't think about them too deeply

5. Face consequences of their own actions. Which includes the protagonist having to slap them down. If they didn't put the stuff in motion and refuse to back down they wouldn't be getting slapped

They aren't cartoon baddies they are really realised characters with convictions that they believe in and truly tend to believe their actions are the best thing to be doing. That they are doing what others should have already done

But in Terry Pratchett what makes you on the wrong side of the narrative is not your personality or your looks or how sociable you are

It's your continuing actions that define you AND your unwillingness to change

And I think I very much needed that reinforced in my life

Hell's Bad Books

From the Good Omens book :):

He'd taken the opportunity to reread Aziraphale's notes, and to thumb through Agnes Nutter's prophecies, and to do some serious thinking.

His conclusions could be summarized as follows:

Armageddon was under way.

There was nothing Crowley could do about this.

It was going to happen in Tadfield. Or to begin there, at any rate. After that it was going to happen everywhere.

Crowley was in Hell's bad books. *Not that Hell has any other kind.

Aziraphale was—as far as could be estimated—out of the equation.

All was black, gloomy and awful. There was no light at the end of the tunnel—or if there was, it was an oncoming train.

He might just as well find a nice little restaurant and get completely and utterly pissed out of his mind while he waited for the world to end.

And yet . . .
