#The problem

[pratchettquotes]

"The problem with Mister Nutt is that people want to kill him."

"What people?"

Ridcully stared into Ponder's eyes. His lips moved. He squinted up and down like a man engaged in complex calculation. He shrugged.

"Probably everybody," he said.

Guys should I start a series on what happens to the rest of the world during The Problem because I’ve been thinking thoughts

Marina is sooooo nice she cant trick me anymore. She charged 10 bucks for her signature and when we looked surprised (bc most of the signatures at the show were 30) she was all smiley like yeahhhh i know inflation is hitting everybody so im not raising my merch prices :). Im a problem not an asshole :). And then started chatting about how her kid still likes getting uppies and thats why her shoulders are so strong

Losing one's way is nothing; the problem is finding it again.

Man of science

“I find that before the terrible event occurred several people had seen a creature upon the moor which corresponds with this Baskerville demon, and which could not possibly be any animal known to science. They all agreed that it was a huge creature, luminous, ghastly, and spectral. I have cross-examined these men, one of them a hard-headed countryman, one a farrier, and one a moorland farmer, who all tell the same story of this dreadful apparition, exactly corresponding to the hell-hound of the legend. I assure you that there is a reign of terror in the district, and that it is a hardy man who will cross the moor at night.” “And you, a trained man of science, believe it to be supernatural?” “I do not know what to believe.” Holmes shrugged his shoulders.

There's a huge demonic dog running through the moor!!!!

Being "a man of science" doesn't mean that you don't believe in supernatural stuff or that you are atheistic. I know a lot of scientist who belongs to different religions even one that tried to convert me into his church so leaving a space for things that can't be explained with science is compatible with the scientific life.

DEMONIC HOUND!!!

I'm having such a good time with tdw but after that I'm gonna need a break either from tumblr total or just sonic tumblr. I am once again burning out of some things about the way it is on here. Which is sad because I'm trying so hard to carve out and make a nice space for myself but that's like digging in mud in the rain.

So a break, or I gotta go on another unfollow/blockathon, but I feel like a really silly cunt blocking people because 'oh their vibes give me the ick. Yes I agree with them often I just hate how they talk about things we both don't like' but it might have to be what it will be.

Which probably means I have to add some mutuals om discord. But that's scary because you have to talk to people on discord. Ho hum.

The Problem

The problem is, you’re blind to your allies while dreaming of a savior.

The problem is, you trade your peers for scraps of approval from the teacher’s table.

The problem is, you called it love, but it was only a way to share the rent.

The problem is, you’ve spent your life chasing a father’s love that will die with him, leaving you here—empty, desperate, twisting like a worm on a rusted hook.

The problem is, you never dared to dream beyond what others had, and in chasing their shadows, you abandoned your own light.

The problem is this country—binding your vision, caging your dreams.

But the problem is also you.

Story. The Problem

Previous | Next

[ID: 10 digitally sketched panels in b/w]

[Panel 1: Hare's running silhouette centered in frame, smoke trailing him. He thinks, "What the hell is wrong with me? Things have been rocky, yeah-- but, flipping out on Szarka? Running out on Dee when she needed me?"]

[Panel 2: Hare throws open the gates to the Becile Estate. The gates are high with arrow points lining the top; the walls on either side are equally high and spiked. Hare continues, "That's not the guy I wanna be. That's not the guy I (italics) am, right?"]

[Panel 3: Hare, as a small stick figure-like silhouette, walks the pathway to the front of Becile Manor, which stretches widely across the background. Hare continues, "(ellipses) Except, I did do those things. And worse, too. Maybe (ellipses)"]

[Panel 4: Hare's hand hesitating to take one of the two door handles to the Manor. Hare continues, "(ellipses) Maybe the problem (italics) is me."]

[Panel 5: Hare looks down sadly. No text.]

[Panel 6: Hare shakes his head, rejecting the depressing thoughts as he thinks, "No time for that! I gotta save Dee!"]

[Panel 7: An empty doorway inside the Manor. Hare's voice calls from off panel, down the hall, "Dee?? Dee?! Where is everybody??"]

[Panel 8: Same shot. Hare is stepping through the doorway, looking concerned and saying, "Cartwheeling Christ, there you are--"]

[Panel 9: Close up of Hare, grimacing and squinting in disbelief. He says flatly, "What."]

[Panel 10: Tall panel. At the top, Scratch says, "Oh, good timing!" Then below, "You can translate for Dee." The art below the dialogue shows Scratch sitting at the head of the table opposite Hare (the viewer) behind a dungeon master's screen, making the ASL sign for 'you.' Locksmith and The Skull sit on the left hand side of the table, eyeing Hare skeptically. On the right hand side sits The Jack, smiling, Riker, looking up in mild suprise and smoking a cigarette, and finally Dee, hands folded and mouth flat. Everyone besides Scratch has sheets of paper, pencils, and dice. End ID]
