The fateful introduction between newly wed Ysabell Duchess of Sto Helit and Lady Sybil Ramkin, thus kicking off a marvelous lifelong friendship.

or: I take a throw away line mentioning Sybil knowing a 'charming young couple needing a new captain of the guard in Sto Helit' and wonder what their first meeting was like...

I don't understand why everyone around her is painting her terribly fat. I think it suits her very well to be a LITTLE plump🤍

Beloved princess🥺

Reading Guards! Guards! after reading Mort is fun because now I get to be kinda emotional about Ysabell having a replica of Sybil Ramkin’s dressing gown

A redraw of an old Discworld piece of mine, featuring that time travel scene from Soul Music! The characters themselves are: Mort, Death, Ysabell, and Susan.

Man, sometimes I get so emotional thinking about Terry Pratchett's Mort.

It's such a circular story, (well all the Death books are in a way, but I'm not talking about that right now) ESPECIALLY considering Death's remarkable memory (able to remember things that 'have yet to happen' etc) cause then when you reread it, you have the faintest insight to Death's memory, cause you KNOW Death shows up at midnight and takes Mort as his apprentice, you KNOW Mort and Ysabell get together especially after Mort "really got to know Ysabell" - which is a direct phrase said Twice, first by Death himself and then by Mort on their wedding.

Its fascinating and heartbreaking all at once, cause at the start Death stares down at this image of Mort who is all knees and can barely scare birds away and he (much like us upon a second reading) KNOWS this lad is going to marry Ysabell, cause chaos, and become the Duke of Sto Helit.

Also let me take a small moment to politely air out my grievances on the take that Mort and Ysabell's romance is rushed.

I politely disagree.

As readers we see Ysabell develop a crush and even love Mort, but we don't get to read and see what happens during the time after Mort challenges Death, when Mort and Ysabell and Co. wake up in the field!! We don't know what happened after they wake up, how many months passed, or their courtship

that being said I suppose it could be likewise imagined that it was rushed

but I politely do not subscribe to that

DEATH IN THE FAMILY! 💀

"I wouldn't marry you if you were the last man on the Disc," she said sweetly.

Mort was hurt by this. It was one thing not to want to marry someone, but quite another to be told they didn't want to marry you.

Terry Pratchett, Mort

finished mort.

That ending made me feel so many emotions I am kind of reeling and sobbing right now
