There were times when Ankh-Morpork as a whole possessed a conveniently short memory. Inside of a week “that thing with the dragon” was already being forgotten, partly because nobody wanted to admit they’d thought crowning a bloody great lizard was a a good idea and partly because no one wanted to remind the Patrician that they’d been complicit in locking him inside his own dungeon. The palace was repaired; any damage to the city was propped up or painted over. Nevertheless, there were clearly going to be some lasting effects. It was early in the morning, and Sybil Ramkin was leaning over the Patrician’s shoulder, examining one of the said consequences with a somewhat critical eye. “It’s not bad, Havelock,” she said. “A little more practice, perhaps.”
Lord Vetinari hummed his agreement. His fingers did not stop switching lace bobbins from one position to another, moving pins down the board and leaving a slightly lopsided web in his wake. “I find it…relaxing,” he said. “A challenge, to be sure, but easier to wrangle than the city.”
“To be sure,” Sybil repeated with a wry smile. “Lacemaking is only a craft that takes most people years to learn properly. You’ve read one book and away you go. Honestly Havelock. You’re insufferable.”
Vetinari smirked. Sybil stepped away from his shoulder and strode gracefully to the far end of the long table, sitting opposite her old friend and helping herself to breakfast. “So,” she said, “Captain Vimes.”
She waited. Vetinari said nothing. His bobbins clacked. Sybil popped a grape into her mouth. “”I’m not going to sit here playing mindgames with you, Havelock. I’m not one of your little lace bobbins- I’m your friend.”
“”Captain Vimes” is not a statement that seems to require a response, my dear.” Vetinari set down the bobbins and sat back in his chair, tapping one slender finger on the wooden armrest. Sybil smiled.
“Fair enough. Let me rephrase. What do you think of Captain Vimes?”
“Why do you ask?”
“Because I like him.” Sybil said frankly. “I like him a great deal.”
“Why?”
Sybil gave a half shrug. “He’s passionate. Blunt, but the honesty is charming. He’s brave- heroic-”
“-an alcoholic. Hardly a paragon of the law. Oh, he may not take bribes, but the Night Watch as a whole doesn’t have much of a purpose beyond running away at the first sign of danger.”
“Now that’s unkind- they were fighting Wonse and the dragon whilst you were sitting in a prison cell. Look, Havelock,” Sybil sighed. “I like him. I really rather like him. So I would like to know what you think of him.”
“...I think,” Vetinari said slowly, “that given half a chance Samuel Vimes would lock me up and throw away the key. I think that Samuel Vimes has a great deal in common with his famous ancestor and I think, Sybil, that if you like him, there wouldn’t be any harm in continuing the acquaintance.” His mouth curls in a sly smile. “Besides,” he said, “Think of how it would annoy Ronnie Rust- Lady Ramkin, consorting with the plebs.” “Well,” Sybil said. She picked up another grape. Vetinari picked up his bobbins. There would be City Business to attend to, soon enough, but the Patrician could spare another ten or fifteen minutes on Ankh-Morpork’s richest daughter who had, after all, been through so terrible an ordeal lately. And, considering Wonse's betrayal- though it had hardly been unexpected- Havelock wanted to spend a little longer in company with his old friend. Besides. It was gratifying to know that he wasn't the only person to see the merit buried deep within Captain Vimes, and Vetinari wanted to spend a little time ruminating on all the doors that Vimes forming a connexion with Lady Ramkin might start to open up...
#discworld#guards! guards! end scene#my first discworld fanfic???? discworld is hard#anyway Sybil and Havelock deserve to have breakfast together so.#Havelock Vetinari#Sybil Ramkin

For a guy who never really shows interest in anyone Vetinari sure gets shipped with a lot of people huh!
Inspiration image and the names the hands belong to under the cut
Apparently this is a still from the move "Malena", I found it on Pinterest I think
From right to left the hands belong to: Sybil Ramkin, Lord Downey, Moist Von Lipwig, Sam Vimes, Lady Margolotta, and Rufus Drumknott. Leonard da quirm is in the background inventing a blowtorch
#discworld#havelock vetinari#sybil ramkin#lord downey#moist von lipwig#sam vimes#lady margolotta#rufus drumknott#leonard da quirm#my art#digital art#its very intriguing to me#not only is his sexuality an inkblot test. so is his taste#hard to belive he has time to run the city while juggling all these folks. but he IS very good at juggling

Scarlet Hollow characters I DO trust with my life and love: the demon stalking you, your cousin everyone hates who has likely committed murder, the abomination of changing flesh and bones that hangs out in the morgue, the possums in my drawer
Scarlet Hollow characters I DO NOT TRUST and never will: sybil. fucking. Local Town Grandma
(Also accurate small town representation)
#scarlet hollow#sybil#im gonna go off but#MANNNNN I do not trust sybil#i feel bad since in my area i generally do not trust most old people because i know everything is so generational and interconnected#and sybil reminds me of that distrust so much#in the whole tea scene i had to see her reactions to all the different responses to who the cat is in different runs and man.#she is setting you up HARD!!!!!#she smiles when you say tabitha and is most agreeable with it being tabitha no matter what reasons you give for her to NOT BE the cat#i really end up trusting everyone she doesn't want me to trust 10x harder. wayne and tabitha team if they just could vibe together.....#i feel the whole cat thing is also just to reassure you that you cant trust anyone except her rather then any Real thing#it does worry me though because i feel shes orchestrated everything. shes too aware and after ch4 i believe the tea controlling theory hard#and i wonder how far it goes? you have to think her tea blends are given to THE WHOLE TOWN#how much does she control? how much can she see? i feel she likely can see thoughts and bend them but if its wide spread#its just a matter of who and what has her attention.#i havent done a run with mystical and high kaneeka friendship yet but want to see if that helps any#scarlet hollow spoilers#scarlet hollow ch4#technically just in case

Listening time: 17 mins~
Sound effects used: [x][x][x]
#I have said this on other posts but I'm obviously not going to post the whole book in audio posts lol#these are just a lil taste of the story so you'll know if its for you when i finish and hopefully publish it#dipping your toe in to check the temperature. that sorta thing#the water dog#mine#my writing#original writing#sowwy about the audio quality i record on my phone and then it gets compressed#best listened to with headphones if you can stand my voice#and if you're enjoying the story so far i'd love to hear feedback! this is still just the first draft#Sybil is a tricky protagonist bc shes kinda boring at the start.... but she grows through the story i promise she gets interesting#in my opinion anyway#its hard to write a silent protagonist in a novel where she is not actually silent#but silent in the 'god i wish i didnt have to speak to people' way#anyway im rambling now!#thanks for listening if you do

I've finished another animatic!!! I've been working on this one for a little over a year now, and I'm so happy with how it turned out!
Here's the YouTube link for anyone that wants to watch it over there :)
This one follows the story of @antnutella-blog's and my dnd characters. Their lore will be under the cut <3
Characters:
Dragonborn - Sybil (she/any)
Aarakocra - Wetherby (she/her)
Half orc - Valscez "Val" (he/him)
Tiefling - Nyx (he/him)
Story:
Sybil was a pirate sailing the seas and terrorizing the Lucidian Ocean alongside her partner, Wetherby. She loved living out on the open waters, but she was at odds with their captain, Covell the Fierce, growing frustrated enough with him to attempt a mutiny against him. But even with Wetherby's aid, the mutiny was unsuccessful. In a panic, Sybil managed to escape, but in turn she abandoned Wetherby at the wrath of Covell. Feeling guilty but having survived, Sybil decided to run, leaving her seafaring life—and Wetherby—behind.
Val and Nyx grew up in Shadycreek Run together. Childhood friends to lovers, their hearts were in good places, but their circumstances led them to a life of crime. Nyx joined the Myriad, and Val tagged along as his bodyguard. It was all cut short when Nyx was allegedly killed. Having no reason to stay with the Myriad any longer, Val left to become a paladin of Bahamut.
The two met on their journeys across the continent, meeting new friends and eventually becoming a true adventuring party.
While they travelled, Tiamat came to Val with an offering to bring Nyx back from the dead, and Sybil discovered that Wetherby was still alive. Though it went against everything Val stood for, he accepted Tiamat's offer. The party followed these leads back westward across Wildemount with Wetherby as their guide, and they found Nyx in Nicodranas, working as a sailor. It turned out that Nyx had faked his death and started a new life away from the Myriad, but not wanting to get involved with a betrayer god, he rejected Val when they initially reunited. In turn, Val severed his connection with Tiamat and started to reconcile.
Meanwhile, Sybil and Wetherby slowly reconnected, enjoying each other's company while Sybil tried to forgive herself for all her mistakes. However, when they all ended up on the same ship heading to Darktow, it was revealed that Wetherby had been leading them into a trap. She briefly took Nyx hostage while an enemy ship approached, and slit his throat when he tried to fight back. Sybil made a quick and painful decision to take Wetherby out, but it was already too late for Nyx.
#Ant threatened me if I didn't post the thumbnail so that's tacked on here too <3#also this campaign Did take place in Exandria!! one Kingsley Tealeaf makes one (1) cameo in this video lol#I also snuck in a dnd!Shinya and one of my other characters :)#anyways I worked super hard on this one and I'm incredibly happy with how it turned out so I hope you like it too <3#I already made some friends cry :)#Val and Sybil are solidarity besties btw#also dw about Nyx!! he was revived and he and Val got married once everything was sorted out :)#quillnart#quillnocs#original character#dnd character#dnd#dungeons and dragons#animatic#animators on tumblr#artists of tumblr#Requiem stuff#quillenimated

DOWNTON ABBEY HEADCANON
In 1948, Edith interviews a potential new journalist for her magazine; she is young, but capable and ambitious. "I have always wanted to become a journalist, ever since I was a little girl." she says; she has dark red hair "My parents have always encouraged me, especially my mother; se said writing and typing was in our destiny."
The young woman is hired. "Welcome to The Sketch, miss Harding." Edith says, and her new journalist beams.
"Thank you, my lady. But please, call me Sybil."
Hello, I'm Sybil. Sybil Harding.
#Downton Abbey#Sybil Branson#Lady Sybil Crawley#Jessica Brown-Findlay#Gwen Harding#Gwen Dawson#Rose Leslie#This is sort of an OC I guess??#Bellona's headcanons#Bellona's Downton Abbey headcanons#Bellona's stuff

Channeling Stella hard right now
SYBIL KILLED PEARLANNE! The tea she gave could have killed her in her sleep.
Sybil is connected to most of the things happening!
She is giving Tabitha tea to suppress whatever is in that locked door in the basement
She knows what Wayne is, enough that it's said that he visits her for help. He has mushrooms coming out of his wrist and she has mushroom tea.
She is giving Joan Kelly the Ricin to keep Reese from changing
Her bloodline has been in the Holler for as long as the Scarlets and is most likely the witch that Kaneeka becomes from the Resonant.
The witch sends Charlie to seek a stone seal, just as Sybil is send you to find them
A witch healed Enoch's younger brother's legs but he was pronounced dead instead, per the corners reports in the clinic
Y/N's mom went to Sybil for help when she was pregnant, likely for some fear for the Scarlett bloodline doing something to you.
Miles admits his mother is a witch and thinks it's cool. I believe she is teaching him the family secrets because Kaneeka railed so hard against magic existing. This could be why she gives Miles so much more freedom. (Could he have been sent into the mines with the seal on purpose?)
I think Sybil gave Tabitha tea to give to Pearlanne, knowing you would come back to the Holler for the funeral. Your blood is somehow unlocking those stone seals! She's causing all of this, and using whatever bullshit the Scarlet ancestors got up to for her own gain.
This woman has everyone in her pocket.
DONT DRINK THE TEA! @blacktabbygames
