I'm rereading Guards! Guards! and is it just me or does Vimes feel like the only human in a muppets movie

[songthursh]

Alright, I will start with this one then - everything starts with the glorious revolution and everything starts with the night watch 🌸

Re-reading Jingo for the umpteenth time, I've always known the whole "second bowman" concept was a reference to the JFK assassination but I've never put two and two together on some of the other references, the two main ones being that Snowy Slopes fired from the back storage rooms of the UU library, a storage room filled with textbooks, a reference to the Texas school book depository.

And the second reference actually made me groan. Angua and Carrot meet up with a Gnoll named stoolie, a regular informant of the watch. I believe this is the first time we actually meet a gnoll in the discworld series, seems like a random inclusion in the story. Then i realised.

In the UK police informants are commonly known as a "Grass"

So stoolie... is a "Grassy Gnoll"

God damnit STP, still taking me to school.

Reblog this to give Sam Vimes a hard-boiled egg.

sam vimes is actually the character ever. when we meet him he's absolutely fucking WASTED in a gutter bc he's grieving a subordinate and a friend. he gets his shit together bc he's an adrenaline junkie. he told the patriarch of ankh morpork to shut up TWICE in like, five minutes (and vetinari let him). he annoyes rich people constantly and consistently. he has arrested two armies (INCLUDING his own city's). he survived being chased by werewolves. he's "vetinari's terrier". he recognizes ankh morpork streets by the feel of different COBBLES under his too thin boots. he's sober but keeps a half empty bottle in his drawer to keep himself in check. assassins have tried and FAILED to assassinate him countless times. he can make armor look rumpled. he HATES kings and gods and journalists and kings and stupid rich ppl. when he's angry he punches the wall outside of vetinari's office and vetinari LETS HIM. he's malewife. he's so so great.

Guards! Guards!

[theygotlost]

Every step I choose to take begins to set the world aflame!

And the soldiers march behind me,

I can hear them beat their spears!

And for the first time in all my life,

I know I'm more than what I fear!

Happy Glorious 25th of May!

Here I go, starting the new year with the most epic "draw this again"(after 17 years!) It is a re-draw of the picture that 13 years old me-a Discworld maniac- started and never finished(cause it was too epic :D ) Back then I never drew more than two characters at once, so you can see that my love for Terry Pratchett's Night Watch was really great ♥ Thank @leona-florianova for reminding me of my love for Discworld ♥

how jingo went

close ups on his face, bc i like when hes holding on by a thread

[mendedrum]

Beating people up in little rooms, he knew were that led. And if you did it for a good reason, you'd do it for a bad one. You couldn't say "we are the good guys," and do bad guy things.

Terry Pratchett, Thud (via Samuel Vimes)

........

Terry Pratchett's social commentary is impeccable as always. I love these lines. They're so simple yet so raw.
