#Rhiannon Pratchett

[amagnificentobsession]

*TW mention of NG.*

There’s no posting, no teasing photos. Nothing like Season 1 or 2, but this isn’t like those Seasons, is it?

The “leaked” photos, Michaels interaction with fans. NG posting photos, music, thoughts. The creators behind the scenes that bring this world we love so dearly, so desperately, to life. No, this isn’t remotely anything like it was. It never will be.

The Pratchett Estate and Rob Wilkins fought HARD to get this 90 minutes from Amazon to finish the story started over 3 decades ago, that was Sir Pratchetts dying wish. For that I am EXTREMELY GRATEFUL.

People have been distancing from anything NG related as soon as the disturbing allegation(s) came out. We are, IMHO, so blessed and lucky that Rhianna and Rob didn’t. So lucky that Michael and David didn’t.

So lucky that the love we share with them of Good Omens is stronger than one man’s choices and actions.

Good Omens isn’t just a story anymore. It has become a part of our lives. Of our minds. Of our hearts. It has helped so many of us at a time in our lives that we needed something and someone to love, to laugh with, to cry with, to live for.

All the characters in this story live with us, within us. But let’s be very, very honest, our deepest desire is to see these two beautiful souls find the peace and happiness they so much deserve. The happiness and peace we wish for ourselves, for others we have met on this journey.

The stories created, the art that takes your breath away with its angst, love, desire and depth. These will live on forever. These all belong to Us.

“It will end as it began, in a Garden.” ♥️ God and Sir Terry Pratchett

[tousey-mousey]

I suggest an alternative which is identifying yourself by which Animorphs and/or Discworld character you most closely identify with. If you don't get this reference, go read both series - Animorphs is younger reader fiction but is applicable to everyone and WILL make you feel things towards people who are going to suffer Just The Worst Trauma, while Discworld is largely adult-oriented fiction that is aesthetically fantasy but actually is most accessible if you like science-fiction.

Mistakes you can make when reading Discworld:

Please don't read Equal Rites until you've read other several books first. Please, at the very least, read Wyrd Sisters and The Wee Free Men first.

Please don't read Raising Steam or The Shepherd's Crown until the very end of your journey with the series. They are a farewell to the universe and to several of our favourite characters, and... well, they don't work unless that's true. Also, please read them with the context that The Shepherd's Crown was published shortly AFTER Terry's death, and both books were essentially a co-authorship project with his daughter Rhiannon and their family friend Stephen Briggs.

Discworld is not only very good as audiobooks, but the audiobooks sometimes make certain jokes easier to spot (especially if you are not English-first-language). My advice is that, if you want to, it can be very fun to listen to the audiobook ALONGSIDE reading the text, especially for ESL and autistic readers.

Discworld is VERY heavily based on puns, wordplay, idioms, and certain humour elements that are exceptionally British. If you are not British, or if you are not natively fluent in English, there is no shame in googling a joke you don't understand. You are not the first person to feel this way and nobody will judge you.

The Dutch translations of the novels are so fucking good it's actually bonkers. Use the translation if that's your first language and you want a "comfort read". They're EXCEPTIONALLY good translations, possibly the best translation work of any modern novel, and in places where a joke wouldn't work the translator would spend literal days talking back and forth with Terry, working out together how to make a joke hit the same in Dutch. The German translations are also apparently extremely good but I don't read German so I can't confirm.

Don't stress about book order, seriously. Buy the books second-hand when you find them. Order them online when they're on sale. Rhiannon and her family aren't hurting for money, they strongly support second-hand book sales and have always showered love on libraries and second-hand bookshops.

Also

Terry Pratchett never explicitly gave his opinion on a great many topics, including trans rights, but he once said in an interview that a trans reader had told him how much the dwarfish gender sub-arc meant to them and he said how thrilled he was that they thought so. After his death, some TERFs have tried to "claim" Pratchett as their own knowing that he can't fight back, and Rhiannon has been... I think the best word is "vicious" in her rejection of everything they stand for and emphatic in how much they stand against what her father would have wanted. Trans people are welcome in the Pratchett-lovers community.

Oh fuck yes!

You don't get it, in the tomb maker remake, Rhiannon Prattchet. (Daughter of the legendary late Sir Terry Pratchett) Wanted to make Laura and Sam a gay couple, but the higher ups said no.

So Rhiannon made the game as gay as possible with out actually saying gay.

Then the higher ups shoved Sam off to one side.

And now she is back!

17 Questions and 17 People

Tagged by both @adisasterfromkansas​ and @chaotic-archaeologist, thanks muchly!!!

Nicknames: None, really. In Italy my friends called me Emi (pronounced e-mee), but now only a few select people use it occasionally.

Height: 5′3″

Hogwarts House: It varies depending on who you ask. Let’s say I’m Gryffindor because that’s what child-me would have wanted. 

Last thing I googled: I’m honestly not sure? I think maybe the feather locations for Assassin’s Creed 2?

Song stuck in my head: The Criminal Minds opening theme because my roommate has been watching it as background noise while she works from home, but I’m currently listening to Rhiannon Giddens on my folk and folk-adjacent playlist.

Number of followers: 3,274

Amount of sleep: Eeesh, uh, it swings wildly between “way too much” and “not nearly enough” 

Lucky number: None really

Dream Job: Getting paid to meet and connect with people while immersing myself in new cultures, while also somehow doing something that helps people like teaching

Wearing: Jeans and sweatshirt. Super exciting.

Favorite song: You truly expect me to have one single favorite song? When I don’t even have a single favorite music genre?

Favorite instrument: ...either clarinet, ukulele, or voice, since those are the ones I play, but there are SO MANY super cool and interesting instruments out there. Like, have you heard a musical saw? Or a guzheng? The list is endless

Aesthetic: The kind of person who always wanted an ~aesthetic~ but could never pick just one

Favourite Author: Mhm, difficult, but my standard go-to for this question is Terry Pratchett.

Favourite animal sounds: That little chirppy sound cats make when they see something interesting

Random: Idk, I spent way too long on this? Writing is hard. For many reasons, but mainly because I can second-guess and double-check what I’m writing, whereas talking I can just say it all and once I’ve said it, I’ve said it. Oh! How about: in the mid to late 19th century, the city I lived in had more millionaires per capita than any other city in the country.

[mysticaltastemakerpersona]

This has come up over one comment made to Gaiman on twitter:

‘I thought the fact that you write good fantasy meant that you were acquainted with reality’...’After learning this about you, it seems however more likely like that was Pratchett’s contribution to your partnership.’

The pinknews article also quotes Rhiannon Pratchett as saying ‘If you’re desperately trying to recruit the dead to your cause then you should probably have a big think about just what you’re supporting.’  (I haven’t found this quote on her twitter yet).

I agree that people shouldn’t assume Pratchett would have been openly gender critical just because he recognised the existence of biological sex in his works - remember, almost everyone pre-about 2010 did. However, the comment above isn’t doing that. I don’t know what account the comment came from, but they might just be being terfed for daring to acknowledge biological sex.

I’d also like pinknews to remember that Joan of Arc, Mulan, Margaret Ann Bulkley and others have all been posthumously considered trans.

[buildarocketboys]

7, 10, 12 x

7. Already answered

10. Which books that you read for the first time this year will you come back to again?

The Amberlough trilogy by Lara Elena Donnelly, This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay, Existing Autistic by Megan Rhiannon and In The Kitchen: Essays on food and life by various authors are all ones that stuck with me or that I'll come back to, for various reasons. Pretty cool to have so many great new books I experienced this year tbh

12. Author you read most of this year?

Lara Elena Donnelly, since I read all three books in her Amberlough trilogy. Terry Pratchett, Stephen King and Sarah Waters (whose books I have now read all of!) all had two a piece.

Thank you!!

[gurguliare]

clodia-metelli replied to your post: Is your health okay, I usually get sick whenever I...

The best thing about it is Rhiannon Pratchett very politely explaining she’s not involvedat all, any more, and could people stop talking to her about it.

Oh noooo, there goes my last fizz of hope in re anyone with serious investment in Pratchett’s work staying involved with the project

50 Thoughts Everyone Has Playing Call of Duty: Ghosts for the First Time

I have arrived, fashionably late, to this game which is now four years old. Here are a collection of live Discord comments made in real time, put together in sequence. 

1) Start up screen music is a bit gloomy period drama, Imho  Like, is this the video game adaptation of Wuthering Heights?

2) Okay. This is deffo sounding like some goth shit.Oh. Gameplay  is starting!!!!

3) Ooh. It's all gone a bit Akira.

4) Ah. We are now at the traditional Call of Duty running and jumping level.

5) There's a war on, but that doesn't mean a man can't sculpt a decent set of sideburns #heshlifelessons

6) IF YOU WANTED ME TO HOLD THE HELICOPTER IN THE LINE OF THE LASER JUST BLOODY SAY THAT!!! I swear that took five minutes to work out.

7) See, if I imagine the dog to have a Cockney accent, it just turns into Gaspode.

8) Also, I kind feel that Hesh bears a resemblance to someone? Who was that guy in Modern Warfare again? You know, this guy: 

9) I'm on a derelict bus in I Can't Believe It's Not Pripiyat and Hesh just told me to bite someone's bum.GROWL. SCUFFLE. SCREAM. Such stealth. So kill. Wow.I am a good doge.

10) You know, this game would probably be a lot more fun if there wasn't all this IRL chat about building walls to keep South and Central Americans out of the US.

11) Time for another level of Call if Duty: Goths

12) Pretty impressive sniffing out Ajax through all the CS gas and old hot dogs. Good doge.

13) I'm still not entirely sure why we are now in a baseball stadium driving a car that's on fire.It must have been love at first sight.

14) It's stabby, barky shooty time again! This time we're playing the Totally Not Defending The White House level

15) Riley is Ramirez 2.0 really.

16) Ooh. Jarod from Storage Wars turned up in the helicopter.

17) OoooOoooOooh! Big reveal! 

18) "Dad! DAD! You're one of them!" "And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for my own pesky kids!"

19) Every time this map loading screen comes up with the black ink effect I'm like, "Rourke! Ex Ghost. Commander of Federation Forces! You will board my helicopter, cross the wall and restore the heart of Ti Fiti"

20) "Rourke? I was just a lieutenant back then..."

21) Twelve years wear out of that black bandana? That's value for money there.

22) "Look for heigher ground!" "What like that multi storey car park we just ran past?"

23) Okay. I'm intrigued to know why Ramos knows where Rourke sleeps? #ishipit

24) I'm going to try a level of Call of Duty: Daddy Issues.

25) I'm not saying it's entirely a rip off Modern Warfare, but blowing up a dam the grounds of disabling all forces might give yours an advantage is very similar, if a little more low tech, than using a nuke to create a big ol' EMP over the Western US.

26) Ok, we're in Caracas now and Hesh Keegan is doing his best moody modern Batman crouched on a paraphet above the city. Goth level: exxtra

27) Oh my God they just did the Batman thing where when he's got the mask on his face is not painted but when the mask comes down: sudden panda eyes!

28) Cannot legit believe Hesh just shouted "You tried to kill my Dad!"Someone needs to have a word with him about infosec 

29) Have we ever been in a building in this game that has not been falling on us?(edited)

30) Can we stop with anybastard can fly a helicopter thing?

31) Also, is it just me or were the instructions for this game less than fucking obvious most of the time?

32) Attempting Call of Duty: Linkin Park again! 

33) "Make sure you catch Rourke alive!" Chucks him out a window fifteen minutes later

34) Alright edgelords, enough with the flowery torture prose.Why is "torture a man until he becomes one of us" such a popular trope?

35) Ok, I know I shouldn't, but I laughed when you stab the guy in the Jeep and when he slumps forward, the horn gives a little toot.

36) Oh it's the "Help! Help! My brother is hurt!" routine.

37) Also, why am I responsible for placing all the defences??

38) Disadvantages of the "enemy uniforms" and generic white dudes scheme is that I've just followed some rando around this car park. 

39) Oh. An oil rig level. How original.

40) Oh. A snow blizzard level. How do they think of all these new ideas??

41) Kicky kick! Kicky kick! Kicky, kicky, kicky, kick kick!

42) When you got to animate Call of Duty at six, but Reef Diver 2 at nine...Lot of love went into this level

43) I feel like I'm in the ocean zone of the Crystal Maze.

44) Oh God Rourke is annoying.

45) It's quite hard to shoot straight with doge whining plaintively in my ear...

46) Lot of people shouting "PUSH!" Is this a battlefield or a labour ward?I like the bookending of the game narrative with the use of the orbital weapons

47) Annnnd all done!

48) Oh FFS! That can fuck right off.

49) The actual sequel is their Mum turning up and rescuing them, co written by Guillermo del Toro and Rhiannon Pratchett.

50) Played by Helen Mirren with Joanna Lumley as her sidekick and everyone is lured into their trap of helpless old lost ladies, and then the knives get pulled out. Someone legit gets stabbed with a knitting needle. There's a grenade hidden in a parrot handled umbrella. They crochet their own balaclavas

Truths Stranger than Fiction

Two timelords, an angel, a demon, an immortal man and a handful of humans. A small group of people from quite different backgrounds seem to have a strange connection. Their fates are intertwined. Who is Creiddylad? Is Heaven real? What caused the Doctor and the demon Crowley to switch places?

Sometimes, truths can be stranger than fiction.
