"It's strange that they don't seem to mind you, Otto," he said, calming down a little.

"Vell, I am not official," said Otto. "I do not haf zer sword und zer badge. I do not threaten. I am just a vorking stiff. And I make zem laff."

Vimes stared at the man. He'd never thought about that before. But yes...little fussy Otto, in his red-lined black opera cloak with pockets for all his gear, his shiny black dress shoes, his carefully cut widow's peak and, not least, his ridiculous accent that grew thicker or thinner depending on whom he was talking to, did not look like a threat. He looked funny, a joke, a music-hall vampire. It had never previously occurred to Vimes that, just possibly, the joke was on other people. Make them laugh, and they're not afraid.

Terry Pratchett, Thud!

New silly headcanon because my main source of enjoyment from star wars is making myself sad thinking about that sad old man.

When Obi-Wan returns to Padmé's ship after cutting Anakin down, Threepio has already brought Padmé inside. Being the fussy neat freak he is, he has also brought Obi-Wan's and Anakin's robes inside the ship: they are nowhere to be found on the floor.

And Obi-Wan, being the sad, broken man he is, held on to Anakin's robe for the next 20 years. This is why he has Anakin's gameboy advanced! Because it was in Anakin's robe!

But this is not all! Because, this, THIS:

is in no way THIS:

BUT THIS:

And Force do I wish I could see Vader's face HERE:

"Is that MY FUCKING ROBE????? Obi-Wan, what the hell-"

So yes, Obi-Wan Kenobi died in Anakin Skywalker's robes, and you will pry this from my cold dead hands

So uhhh I just started Discworld for the first time... Who could have ever guessed that I'd imprint on the weedy anxiety wizard LOL

Just some random moments I've been drawing while listening to the audiobooks.

1: "We should REALLY go somewhere else."

2: "You used all the pink ink! Only monochrome pictures now!"

3: "Come on down, it won't hurt :)"

I was checking the Rain World achievements page after finally getting the Pilgrimage achievement for myself and I noticed 13(!!!) DLC achievements already listed! Unfortunately they're only titled DLC Achievement #1-13 but they still look really interesting!

Some brand new symbols in the ancient language as well! No new Echos by the looks, since the base-game ones all shared the same symbol in different colors.

Oh wow it's odd going backwards in the Discworld timeline to Cheri Littlebottom's intro. A combination of being before Cheri presents feminine and just the general forensics stuff & new hire uncertainty at the job

Sacharissa: I'm helping.

William: Alright, just don't touch the iconograph. He claims it's an extension of his body.

Sacharissa: Noted.

I alluded to it in the tags about how I have another Spahr post to percolate on and think about, but I have to write a post about like, arguably, in terms of narrative role, Spahr IS the Trust.

I mean, not in like the people are shaped by institutions and cultures BUT institutions and cultures are composed of people way, though there's a lot to be said about that I'm sure. In that way, the Trust exists in all its agents and adherents, but I'm talking in a narrative iconography sense.

But, in a sense that like Spahr and the Trust sort of share a vitality, and they spiral at the same time, and you can trace the state of the Trust in parallel to Spahr's own narrative footing. In a sense, arguably, Spahr's arc follows that of the Trust. Spahr can be argued to be the highest narrative representation or stand-in or embodiment of the Trust as a social structure and hierarchy for a mechanical parallel, as an incarnation of its health as a structure: it breathes as he does, and it falters as he doubts, and it is lost the moment he walked out with his clarity.

I have to write a post, I have to write a post articulating all this bc this is just abstract high concept rambling that isn't really laying out the logic here.

[ID: Three panels from Trigun Maximum. The first is an extreme close-up of Zazie the Beast's mouth as he grits his teeth. The second is a wider shot of Zazie's face as he opens his mouth, extending his jaw much farther than a human should be able to, stretching and distorting his facial features and showing fangs. His eyes have been already shown to have slitted, catlike pupils, but the effect is even more pronounced now. The third panel shows Zazie simplified down to a silhouette with only a single glowing eye and his too-open mouth visible. What's coming out of his mouth looks like fog, but the sound effects and subsequent panels indicate that it's a massive swarm of bugs. End ID.]

I love deeply Zazie as a non-human, deeply bizarre and unsettling being. At the same time OH MY GOD I HATE IT WHEN HE DOES SHIT LIKE THIS AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
