"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!

The most Holy Theotokos

[eliz-copalian]

Today, The Episcopal Church honors St. Andrei Rublev, Iconographer, artist, and monk. This is one of his most famous pieces, depicting the Holy Trinity (which was prohibited at the time).

This icon is particularly beautiful because of the invitation for us to join with the Holy Trinity, there at the table. To have communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To partake from the Blood of Christ, the Cup of Salvation.

Holy God, we bless you for the gift of your monk and icon writer Andrei Rublev, who, inspired by the Holy Spirit, provided a window into heaven for generations to come, revealing the majesty and mystery of the holy and blessed Trinity; who lives and reigns through ages of ages. Amen.

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 :)"

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.
