Terry wrote to me and he said  ”You have to do this ”- he began this email, I went back and looked at it the other day -  ”I know how busy you are, but you are the only person who has the same understanding of and passion for the old girl that I do, so you got to do it ‘cause I want to see it.” And I said yes. And very shortly after, Terry died. So now he couldn’t see it.

So I had to make the thing that he wanted, which meant it became kind of a mad passion project. The things that if it was a me-project I would’ve given away on, things I wouldn’t have held the line on like some kind of a mad-eyed prophet.

Suddenly I’m going ”No, you cannot take this out. This is going to be in there. Because Terry wrote that scene and he would have wanted to see it, so it’s in there.” And they’re like ”Oh, but do you know how much money we could save if you don’t actually see Agnes Nutter being blown up and arrested and dragged to the stake, we got this idea,” said an early bunch of producers who later left, ”that we could have woodcuts and the narrator explaining what happened. Isn’t that just as good?”

And I sort of mentally run that by the ghostly Terry Pratchett in the back of my head, it’s like: ”Terry, is that just as good?” And he’s like: ”Fuck ‘em.”

Bonus Recipe: Hot Cider

Alright, alright, so I know she doesn’t mention hot cider, but I figured it’s a given, and also I didn’t realize until after I made the recipe. So it’s going up anyways.  Difficulty: Easy, 2 hours. Makes 6 servings. 

-2L of pure apple juice or apple cider (non-alcoholic is best so you don’t cook out any booze) -About 40 whole cloves (roughly 3 tablespoons) -5 to 8 cinnamon sticks,  -4 or 5 slices of ginger -1 tablespoon (8g) anise seeds -1 tablespoon (8g) of whole allspice berries -10 cardamom pods -8 to 10 whole peppercorns -1 tablespoon (7g) nutmeg -The peel of about half a large orange -Rum or brandy, if desired

NOTE: If you don’t have any of these spices in their whole form, don’t worry! Use the ground stuff. It all sinks to the bottom of the pot and you can pass the cider all through a cheesecloth if you like. 

Pour the 2L of apple juice or cider into a large pot over medium-low heat. 

Use a vegetable peeler to shave off slices of orange peel and add them into the pot along with all your other spices. I broke open the cinnamon sticks to release more flavour. Also quite honestly you can add in whatever spice amounts you so choose based on what you like, but the amounts I posted are a good balance of flavour, I find.

Continue to cook over medium-low until the juice/cider is hot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Don’t let it come to a boil (it won’t hurt it if you do by accident but it’s just better not to).

Now we’re gonna want to keep the cider hot, so the best way is to throw it all in a crockpot (spices included). Keep it on low for 1 ½ hours at least, 4 hours at most. If you don’t have a crockpot, keep it on low on the stove and cover with a lid. Once it’s done, it’ll be quite dark in colour.

When you’re ready to serve up your hot apple cider, you can pass it through a cheesecloth or just ladle it up as is into mugs. Make sure to include a cinnamon stick, though! Add in your booze (if desired) last.

This cider is my favourite fall drink, and I spent many autumn nights as a kid sitting in front of the fireplace drinking my hot apple cider after a long day of jumping in leaf piles.

This is a personal comic that I’ve been working on on and off for months now, giving up and starting over and making changes and eventually just… here it is. It’s my 20th birthday today! I’m weepy and introspective. I’d appreciate it if you gave it a read.

I think it's fair to say that a good part of the attraction for me to having a planner is the fun of decorating it just so with stickers #pipsticks #plumpaperplanner #organization #nature #stickers #stickerlife

Don't feel ashamed of doing "CHILDISH" things

•buy toys/dolls/crayons •play with Legos •play old videogames/dress up games •weave friendship bracelets •watch cartoons •use stickers •draw pics of your favorite characters

If it makes you feel nice, do it. Don’t even worry about what other people think, because it doesn’t matter–if it brings you happiness, it’s not “ridiculous”, or “immature”.

You deserve to enjoy yourself.

The official Little Buddy of the Snow household: Pico. Usually up to something, and has to follow you around the house to be in whatever you're doing, and Nano often claims the lap first, but when it's time, he does a mean snuggle. #catsofinstagram #superbowl #snuggles #rescuecat #pico #picoandnano #sundaycat #timefornetflix
