#Lady Sybil

[stackofsnakes]

It's no mystery how Lady Sybil fell in love with Sam Vimes. She's quite used to caring for good hearted, self destructive little critters one occasionally needs to scrape off the floor

Terry Pratchett is amazing at writing women, this isn't a new thing to say. But I was having a think about how he wrote women, and tried to think up what common thread there was between his woman characters (especially because with most authors, especially male authors, you tend to be able to tell the author's 'type' by the way they write woman love interests).

At first I couldn't think of anything, because Pterry wrote such a diverse range of personalities, ages, jobs, body types etc.

And then it hit me. The one prevailing thread in all the Pratchett books I've read so far: Pterry's woman characters are just so opinionated. And I love that.

I love the Discworld dwarfs.

"Sam!" said Lady Sybil, advancing through the throng. "They're going to perform `Bloodaxe and Ironhammer'! Isn't that wonderful?" "Er..." "It's an opera, sir," Cheery whispered. "Part of the Koboldean Cycle. It's history. Every dwarf knows it by heart. It's about how we got laws, and kings... and the Scone, sir." "I sang the part of Ironhammer when we did it at finishing school," said Lady Sybil. "Not the full five-week version, of course. It'd be marvelous to see it done here. It's really one of the great romances of history." "Romances?" said Vimes. "Like... a love story?" "Yes. Of course." "Bloodaxe and Ironhammer were both... er... weren't both..." Vimes began. "They were both dwarfs, sir," said Cheery. "Ah. Of course." Vimes gave up. All dwarfs were dwarfs. --- Sir Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant

F/M Couples S2

Round 2

Cordelia and Aral :

"I love a married couple who love and support each other!"

Vimes and Sybil :

"She raises dragons; he sets traps for assassins and always arrives home in time to read to his son. What's not to love?"

She smiled at him.

And then it arose and struck Vimes that, in her own special category, she was quite beautiful; this was the category of all the women, in his entire life, who has ever thought he was worth smiling at. She couldn't do worse, but then, he couldn't do better. So maybe it balanced out. She wasn't getting any younger but then, who was? And she had style and money and common-sense and self-assurance and all the things that he didn't, and she had opened her heart, and if you let her she could engulf you; the woman was a city.

And eventually, under siege, you did what Ankh-Morpork had always done - unbar the gates, let the conquerors in, and make them your own.

fleursdevilles Welcome to Fleurs de Villes Downton Abbey @/shopphippsplaza - a spectacular fresh floral celebration inspired by the famed period drama, created by Atlanta’s talented floral artists from April 2 - 6!

We start our show with this stunning fresh floral creation inspired by Lady Sybil, created by @/rosejasmineatl. As the youngest daughter of Lord and Lady Grantham, Lady Sybil stands out with her spirited personality and progressive values. Rejecting the constraints of her aristocratic upbringing, she becomes an advocate for women‘s rights and social equality. Sybil‘s bold decision to marry Tom Branson, the family chauffeur, challenges societal norms and strains family dynamics.

Despite her untimely death, her legacy endures through her daughter, Sybbie, and the impact of her courage and compassion on those around her. Early on, Lady Sybil’s style is a reflection of her youth and balanced nature.

When we first meet Lady Sybil, she is wearing this purple play dress, which is less detailed and more durable than her sisters’ outfits, and her hair is down, signalling that she has not yet been presented in society. Even as she moves into more mature fashions, she keeps to soothing blues and purples, reflecting her role within the Crawley sister dynamics. Featured florals include carnations, roses, aramanthus, and dendrobium orchids.

Sam Vimes is a guy who'd know an assassination attempt by the way the wind flows through the key hole of a door but would absolutely miss the pickles in his sandwich, after he asked for no Pickles.

Lady Sybil is a woman who will get a new sandwich without pickles, even though her husband already has finished the first without visible signs of displeasure and proceeded to take his first bite from the paper plate.

She knows he's too entrenched into work matters to critically analyze the appearance and origin of a second sandwich, but her beloved husband wanted no pickles and damnit, no pickles he shall have!

Sometimes I feel good and then I remember that then it arose and struck Vimes that, in her own special category, she was quite beautiful; this was the category of all the women, in his entire life, who had ever thought he was worth smiling at. She couldn't do worse, but then, he couldn't do better. So maybe it balanced out. She wasn't getting any younger but then, who was? And she had style and money and common-sense and self-assurance and all the things that he didn't, and she had opened her heart, and if you let her she could engulf you; the woman was a city.

I'm. Uh. Wow. I haven't been able to stop thinking about this.

It's from the Ankh Morpork City Watch 1999 diary and DAMN SON.
