I'm re-reading the Discworld series for reasons, and honestly the most relatable part of reading these as an adult is how many of the protagonists start out being tired, used to their little routine and vaguely disgruntled by the interruption of the Plot. Sam Vimes wants to lie drunk in a gutter and absolutely doesn't want to be arresting dragons. Rincewind is yanked into every situation he's ever encountered, though he'd much rather be lying in a gutter too. (Minus the alcohol. Plus regretting everything he's ever done said witnessed or even heard about fourth-hand in his whole life.) Granny Weatherwax is deeply suspicious of foreign parts and that includes the next town over; Nanny has leaned into the armor of "nothing ever happens to jolly grannies who terrorize their daughters-in-law and make Saucy Jokes"

Only the young people don't seem to have picked up on this---and that's fortunate, because someone has to run around making things happen, if only so Vimes and Granny and Rincewind have a reason to get up (complaining bitterly the whole time) and put it all to rights. Without Carrot, Margrat, Eric, etc. these characters don't have that reason; they're likely to stay in the metaphorical gutter and keep wondering where it all went wrong or why anything has to change.

............well, that's not quite true. You get the sense that Vetinari knows how much certain people hate the Plot. And as the person sitting behind the metaphorical lighting board of Ankh-Morpork, he takes no small pleasure in forcing the Plot-haters specifically to stand up, and say some lines.

Commission for Yeezusboii who wanted their character (Sam) enjoying a Pabst Blue Ribbon and smoking a cigarette in an 80s style living room, while wearing some 80s attire too, of course. :3 I really enjoyed coloring this one, with how atmospheric and mellow it is. It seems whenever I do commissions for him, they always turn out fantastic. Some commissioners just have that energy for some reason, haha.

Prompt 233

Danny squawked in utter betrayal as his sister picked him up by the scruff, running before he could attack the ghost hunter. Though it changed to a yelp when a blast nearly hit him, which wouldn’t be an issue if it didn’t almost hit Jazz as well. 

He hiked his legs up, tail curling up as Jazz ran, not exactly able to fly. Her own wings were more designed for gliding through water, and his own were way too small, which wasn’t usually a problem, but using ecto at the moment wasn’t an option. 

They were stuck fleeing like animals, his sister doing the best she could with how their bag of supplies had gotten left behind three states ago. But he was hungry and tired, and honestly wanted to bite the next person to attack them, ghost hunter or no. He bet it would make him feel better.

Return of the Fenton Menace! Can you guess who is saying what?

"Pose for the camera, everyone!"

"Let me hold your goggles."

"You look silly, daddy."

"He does, doesn't he?"

"Come on, guys! I want to go punch the Joker before it's time to go home!"

"LET ME GO, PUNY HUMANS!!"

"Shut up, Dan."

every time i think of the soft spot checo seems to have for charles it makes me think about that story about charles calling him after mexico 2021 to congratulate him and say how happy he was that checo had his parents there to celebrate with him and i experience immediate heartbreak all over again

The new brand of syscourse being "I know your experiences better than you do. Let me define it for you" is uh. So not it. And some of you are way too comfortable doing it.

The most "pro-recovery" thing you can do is let people figure out what's in line with what THEY want for recovery. What it means for them, how parts of it look for them, etc. Because you...don't know them. You can't just generalize recovery, and that goes for anything, not just CDDs.

If someone is helped by seeing themselves purely as different versions of what they define as "me"? Cool. If someone is helped by seeing their parts as people? Sick. If someone is helped by some nebulous in-between because these things aren't actually that dichotomous (hi :3)? Dope.

There are so many paths to take, and they branch off at more points than just the end (which is also more complex than given credit for). Allow people to get where they need to go the way they need to do it. Be respectful. Don't discount those experiences because they differ from your own.

Every system is different. Every system sees themselves differently. Every system needs different things. Please remember that.

Hi! Could I request a Mapleshade? Fluffy villain^^

HEY GUYS IM NOT DEAD!! Have a mentally unwell mama

MAPLESHADE

“I'm going to make you pay for every blessing StarClan gave you! And every blessing they stole from me!”

[Ginger-and-chocolate tortie-and-white tabby with amber eyes and high white spotting.]

Miss Maple <3 I am a staunch supporter of women’s wrongs, easily one of the most interesting Warriors antagonists

Design notes!

Vaguely inspired by a maned lioness.

Exceptionally thick, fluffy mane.

“Running mascara”; dark facial tortoiseshell markings. (Inspired by a real life kitty I saw a photo of!)

Lots of hidden “maples” within her design: her face fluff, mane, and tail-tip are all styled like a maple leaf.

Prominent tummy because, if I remember correctly, her kits were just barely weaned at the time of their death, and thus, her own? I could be wrong about that though!

Scarring includes: Two slashes across her muzzle, two slashes across her right side.

One nitpick I have about Cheetah (any of them really) is when she’s drawn with rosettes instead of solid spots

Cheetahs have solid dark spots

Leopards and Jaguars have rosettes

Rosettes vs. Solid Spots
