#disced world

[owltypical]

thinking about an alternate timeline where maggie smith and miriam margolyes were in a discworld movie instead of a harry potter movie, where they could have rocked it as granny weatherwax and nanny ogg, the superior witches

Stuff I've made on my phone, I guess? Of varying levels of "quality"

I don’t think Discworld could be adapted well with a live action medium, but having Con O’Neill play Sam Vimes would be the MOST INCREDIBLE casting choice ever.

Like he would NAIL the grizzled and exhausted, but unendingly determined nature of Vimes. Con would OWN the journey that Vimes goes on to fiercely fight against intolerance, even if he’s a little confused about certain things lmao

I miss the Dream SMP so I remade the entire disc confrontation/staged disc finale area in Minecraft.

Available for download here! (Java only)

The world was generated in version 1.16 snapshot 20w17a, which is the version the DSMP was originally started in. The bunker/vault area is built in the exact same location as the original (checked with VODs), at coordinates -240, 80, 3305. The elevator is actually functional too! The world is compatible with Minecraft Java version 1.20+.

Some notes and more info below the cut:

Install instructions: unzip the file and put the folder in the saves location, default is C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves

Notes:

I built and changed only the disc finale area! This area includes the mountain, the bunker, and a tiny part of the Nether. The rest of the world is completely untouched, but I did generate it from spawn in 1.16 so the landscape should look familiar.

You can go through the Nether portal and it should put you in the right location but I didn't build anything else in the Nether.

This world works only with Java! You're free to convert it to Bedrock but the elevator won't work in Bedrock, so keep that in mind.

You need to press the button upstairs to make the elevator go down, and the button downstairs to make it go up. You can't press the button upstairs to make the elevator go up, and you can't press it downstairs to make it go down.

The world is compatible with version 1.20+ but I did replace the deepslate in the bunker with the original bedrock, so it should look the same as in the actual finale.

When you first start the world, it should put you right in front of the elevator entrance. If you get lost or stuck at spawn, the coordinates to the disc finale area are -240, 80, 3305.

inexplicably sad about the loathly lady. I just can't imagine being brave enough to ask anyone whether they would prefer you be attractive in the sight of their friends, or attractive when they fuck you. that those are the only two options. I can't stop thinking about how there are many other answers to that question, and almost all of them are wrong.

Really enjoy these credits for the BBC adaptation of Guards! Guards!

[owltypical]

really enjoy the fact that terry pratchett was big on humanism and comedy and absurdism in his writing but was also an opinionated cranky old man who tolerated zero shit from people and would rather not allow a movie of his work be made than let hollywood turn one of his female characters into a disney princess

that and the way he was fond of big horrible old tomcats

really lets you see where characters like vimes, granny weatherwax, and greebo came from

I have officially beaten 7 Rebirth! I mostly enjoyed it - loved the story and characters, though personally my feelings on the ending are up in the air until I see how the final game follows it up. There was TOO MUCH exploration and minigames for my taste (I have completionist tendencies so I WANT to do everything but GOD I hated some of it and eventually did give up on some stuff), making me possibly the ONLY person to prefer Remake to Rebirth, but I understand that's a personal hangup.

I know most aspects of the GS dates have been talked into oblivion at this point, but there are two little tidbits I haven't seen mentioned in Clerith's favor - first is that even OUTSIDE of the play and the skywheel scenes, Aerith's version flows the best narratively, and 2nd is the ending of the play might be a callback to their scene in Kingdom Hearts 2.

The game reveals that whoever your "date" was is locked into your battle party when facing Corneo the next day. Prior to the date, Aerith is always the one at the battle square who led us to Dio to fight in the first place AND she straight up SAYS she wants to fight. She also comments on fighting together AFTER the date - "Wall Market Warriors, you and me!" Even before the game actually reveals you're FORCED to fight alongside your date, Aerith sets the expectation that she's fighting too. Of the other dates, only Barrett implies he's fighting too ("tomorrow we'll go to town on them") while no one else says anything about the impending fight.

As for the play, the ending is the same for each love interest but the dialogue made me immediately remember Aerith and Cloud's scene together in KH2. He has to leave, but promises to return and knows she'll be waiting for him. Honestly the line about her not NEEDING to promise to wait felt like a subtle acknowledgment of when Aerith DID say she'd "stay here and cheer for you" in KH2. It just gives an added layer of depth to Aerith's version of the play that the other ladies don't have.

Between these two things and Aerith definitely fitting the role of Rosa (magic/staff user) the best, PLUS Cloud ALWAYS getting a close-up where he looks enamored while she's singing (similar to him reacting to her in the red dress in Remake) and briefly taking her hand when everyone bows (again, regardless of if Rosa was Tifa/Yuffie), Aerith's date DEFINITELY feels the most narratively satisfying and canon. Everything flows together so well even before and after the date where it doesn't flow that way with anyone else.

I recently started reading the disc world series (guards, guards) and I struggle a bit: So, I'm at a certified English C1 level (hard to believe considering how i write on here) and I'm having a really hard time reading guards, guards right now. Some jokes just go over my head bc I straight up don't know some idioms and expressions, which i expected before reading, but i didn't think it would happen this frequently. Also the overall language is one level above me. I'm used to not knowing some words now and then when reading english books (I've read good omens 4 times now and i encounter new words every time somehow). But with guards guards it's a lot more. However, i don't really wanna read the german translation bc i fear too many jokes don't translate or don't translate well enough (especially considering that i usually really don't struggle with english books). Has anyone else had similar problems? Are other disc world books easier to understand?

This is a pretty good point in the wip to share this, methinks :]

Map part for the hole dwelling map, starring... Not my ocs! I wanted to use ocs, but I don't have any-- so I just used the characters from a fic I was reading at the time 😂

Turns out, the symbolism was so much fun to twist into the 11 seconds I had to work with, I ended up going way more complex than I meant to. If you wanna read the fic this was based on, please do!! And tell the author I said hi! :D
