#Mort/Ysabell

[creativenicocorner]

The fateful introduction between newly wed Ysabell Duchess of Sto Helit and Lady Sybil Ramkin, thus kicking off a marvelous lifelong friendship.

or: I take a throw away line mentioning Sybil knowing a 'charming young couple needing a new captain of the guard in Sto Helit' and wonder what their first meeting was like...

"I wouldn't marry you if you were the last man on the Disc," she said sweetly.

Mort was hurt by this. It was one thing not to want to marry someone, but quite another to be told they didn't want to marry you.

Terry Pratchett, Mort

I was thinking about Discworld couples for a Discworld group chats Valentine's ship fest, and I've noticed a sort of running theme among the couples Terry Pratchett writes. Much to think about....

Bonus times ot3 because they technically aren't canon but also I couldn't NOT include them

[ID: 6 variations on the "me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic" meme with Discworld couples cuddling or holding hands. The featured couples are: Carrot and Angua, Sybil and Vimes, Tiffany and Preston (caption changed to plural pronouns to reflect their autism 4 autism power couple status). Then Mort and Ysabell, Death and miss Flitworth, and finally Otto Sacharissa and William (caption changed to pluralize bitches) end ID]

I think the funniest running gag in Mort is that nobody will say morts name no matter how much he insists, and it's not that Death forgets Morts name,,,, it just get a bit confusing when your apprentice keeps saying your name in French whenever you call him

“I'VE NOTICED THE WAY YOU TWO ALWAYS AVOID EACH OTHER. He gave Mort a conspiratorial nudge – it was like being poked with a stick – and added, ALBERT'S TOLD ME WHAT THAT MEANS.”

I don't understand why everyone around her is painting her terribly fat. I think it suits her very well to be a LITTLE plump🤍

Beloved princess🥺

[harlowes-home]

finished mort.

That ending made me feel so many emotions I am kind of reeling and sobbing right now

[creativenicocorner]

Man, sometimes I get so emotional thinking about Terry Pratchett's Mort.

It's such a circular story, (well all the Death books are in a way, but I'm not talking about that right now) ESPECIALLY considering Death's remarkable memory (able to remember things that 'have yet to happen' etc) cause then when you reread it, you have the faintest insight to Death's memory, cause you KNOW Death shows up at midnight and takes Mort as his apprentice, you KNOW Mort and Ysabell get together especially after Mort "really got to know Ysabell" - which is a direct phrase said Twice, first by Death himself and then by Mort on their wedding.

Its fascinating and heartbreaking all at once, cause at the start Death stares down at this image of Mort who is all knees and can barely scare birds away and he (much like us upon a second reading) KNOWS this lad is going to marry Ysabell, cause chaos, and become the Duke of Sto Helit.

Also let me take a small moment to politely air out my grievances on the take that Mort and Ysabell's romance is rushed.

I politely disagree.

As readers we see Ysabell develop a crush and even love Mort, but we don't get to read and see what happens during the time after Mort challenges Death, when Mort and Ysabell and Co. wake up in the field!! We don't know what happened after they wake up, how many months passed, or their courtship

that being said I suppose it could be likewise imagined that it was rushed

but I politely do not subscribe to that

And because the Good Omens brain rot spilled over into Terry Pratchett’s other books, here’s a couple little “Mort” Ysabell and Mort inspired sketches

[milfdarthrevan]

Actually, what's the political situation in Sto Helit like now?

I mean, I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a Duke of Sto Helit since Mort and Ysabell... well... (look, i'm still super sad about them ok!) I mean, there IS a Duchess of Sto Helit, but she spends 95% of her time as an extremely cool governess and 5% as the Disc's most annoyed Grim Reaper, so I'm not sure how much governing she's actually doing now. Is the new Duke just someone Susan left in charge while she pursued her dream of becoming Goth Mary Poppins? Or was Mort subscribed to William's newsletter before... uh... he left the series for good?

[ID: Five rough pencil sketches on a lined notebook page, all of characters from Mort by Terry Pratchett. Starting from the top left, the first sketch is of Mort. He is standing in a stuff neutral position with a worried expression on his face. He has slightly shaggy, curly hair and is wearing a sleeveless tunic with a shirt underneath, rolled up to his sleeves, and trousers stuffed into knee-high boots. He is also wearing a cape with the hood down, which is obscuring one of his arms. The second sketch is of Ysabell, who is standing with her arms on her hips with an annoyed expression. She has long wavy hair, and is wearing a long empire-style dress with a square neckline, slippers, and elbow length gloves. The third drawing is of Keli, who is standing with her arms crossed looking affronted. She is wearing a long corseted dress, with long bell sleeves with a sharp puff at the shoulder. She has straight hair in layers, with some hair flicking out at her ears while some goes down past her shoulders. She is wearing a tiara. The last two images only show the characters from the waist up. The fourth is of Cutwell, who is has slumped shoulders and a vaguely confused expression. He has short black hair and is wearing a wizard hat and gown with stars on it. The last sketch is of Albert, who is hunched over with an annoyed expression. He has thin hair tied up in a bun and is wearing a plain shirt and sweater and trousers. Each character has an arrow with writing pointing to them. For Mort, it reads ‘gradually losing his humanity’. For Ysabell; ‘Been 16 for 35 years’. For Keli; ‘The universe thinks she’s dead’. For Cutwell; ‘Literally just wants some food’. And for Albert; ‘Has enemies waiting for him in hell’. /End ID]
