#i found that passage in the book yesterday and pterry's voice came up unbidden in my head

[morporkian-cryptid]

So I'm rereading Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series, and, well...

I was today years old when I realised that the song "Hiver" in Steeleye Span's album Wintersmith (an album written about that series, which came out in 2013, which I discovered nearly a decade ago and which I have listened to enough time to know entirely by heart), was not, in fact, titled after the French word for "winter", as I had believed for the better part of a fucking decade, but after the Hiver, the main antagonist of the second Tiffany Aching book, which I have read a number of time and should have really recognized because the song's lyrics are almost word for word the hiver's speech in the novel.

Anyway, I shall now turn in my Discworld fan badge and then go shovel a hole in the snow and bury myself in it.
