god. GOD. the underlying anger in everything terry writes really IS apparent in hogfather bc fuck u mean this is how things should be? no the fuck it shouldn't. poor people shouldn't have to be satisfied with what they get, that's just fucking capitalism. i REALLY like that terry decided to use death as projection for what he thinks bc death doesn't know anything and it has to be explained to him and by it being explained to him it shows how fucking stupid those things are. bc ok here's this world where an equivalent of santa ACTUALLY exists and, because it mirrors our world, it's still unjust. santa actually fucking exists in this world and he could give ANYONE ANYTHING bc he's essentially a god and people gave him that power by making him up, BUT because ppl imagined him in a way that poor people don't get shit (like they usually do) and rich people get EVERYTHING they want, he exists like that. whereas death has seen the absolutely WORST of humanity and he STILL thinks that's bullshit and it's not how it should be, it's just how it goes. bc capitalism is always capitalism where there's money and the world will always be fucked up as long as there are oppressor to hold it up. like i just.

I HAVE MADE THIS FOR YOU. She reached out and took a damp square of cardboard. Water dripped off the bottom. Somewhere in the middle, a few brown feathers seemed to have been glued on. "Thank you. Er... what is it?" ALBERT SAID THERE OUGHT TO BE SNOW ON IT, BUT IT APPEARS TO HAVE MELTED, said Death. IT IS, OF COURSE, A HOGSWATCH CARD. "Oh..." THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A ROBIN ON IT AS WELL, BUT I HAD CONSIDERABLE DIFFICULTY IN GETTING IT TO STAY ON. "Ah..." IT WAS NOT AT ALL COOPERATIVE. "Really...?" IT DID NOT SEEM TO GET INTO THE HOGSWATCH SPIRIT AT ALL. -- Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Happy Hogswatch to those who celebrate!

Holiday Theme: Happy Hogswatch

IT IS HOGSWATCH, said Death, AND PEOPLE DIE ON THE STREETS. PEOPLE FEAST BEHIND LIGHTED WINDOWS AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE NO HOMES. IS THIS FAIR?

"Well, of course, that's the big issue--" Albert began.

THE PEASANT HAD A HANDFUL OF BEANS AND THE KING HAD SO MUCH HE WOULD NOT EVEN NOTICE THAT WHICH HE GAVE AWAY. IS THIS FAIR?

"Yeah, but if you gave it all to the peasant then in a year or two he'd be just as snooty as the king--" began Albert, jaundiced observer of human nature.

we need a crossover between Discworld and the Magnus archives - because while all the terrors of TMA are enthralling, it would be bloody awesome to watch them get bodied by Prachet's protagonists:

that blanket demon from the dark finds out what fear really is when Susan finds it, poker in hand.

the spiral keeps playing it's tricks, but no matter what it tries - granny Weatherwax will never question her sanity.

Rincewind gets freed from the lonely when an errant box of luggage somehow finds him within the heart of isolation itself

the end gets instantly obliterated when it learns that the grim reaper himself acted as replacement santa.

one of the fears try to corrupt vimes, turning him into an avatar - but it somehow ends up with him arresting it.

carrot it trapped within the depths of the buried - but it ultimately reminds him of home, no matter how tight it squeezes.

the fears try to sow their unholy artefacts through the city of ankh morpork - but they just get advertised as tourist attractions
