it takes years for terry pratchett's books to get consistently good. I would argue that the series doesn't really hit its stride until Feet of Clay, which means that pratchett was writing and being published for 12 years before he found his groove.
and I genuinely can't imagine that. in part because I do think that pratchett's publication calendar looks different than what's expected of writers today---he had about 2 books published per year for his entire career. he must have been writing furiously, and the publisher must have relatively quickly gotten these to press.
but also....I just can't imagine any modern-day publisher keeping an author on their list for twelve years, unless that author is a prestige get or a constant presence on the bestseller list. And what does it say about the state of publishing that you can't go on publishing someone's good-but-not-revelatory books until they figure out what story they're trying to tell?
#this ties into my other thoughts about the workmanlike genre writers of the 80s and 90s.#king and koontz and even grisham in the early days.#it's a world that's gone away. publishing is a different animal. still....#and I liked prior discworld novels! I think pyramids is great; as is maskarade and lords and ladies#but feet of clay hogfather jingo and carpe jugulum have the feel of someone settling into a groove#jingo is actually really very good. so is carpe jugulum.#you can feel his characters getting smarter. more alive.#(and he takes steps back too; I think thief of time is a good book but it's a little too impressed with its own plot.#and wee free men is a throwback to lords and ladies in a way that's hard to ignore even if tiffany is a delight.#night watch is still good but you know what? not as good as I remember. I prefer jingo.)#also I have figured out pratchett's ''if I handwave a bit about dreams and timelines and magic I do not have to plug this plothole'' trick#I'm mostly amused by his audacity in doing so (and can relate as someone who has maybe used the same trick...)#it's just funny.#discworld

the ghost of an old king
#SPOOKY!!!#my art#original art#i spent way longer on this than i would have liked but it was good practice!#also related to my untitled story. i was thinking of coming up with like fake egyptian history for it#like maybe a king died young (tutankhamon style) and there's a curse or something (...tutankhamon style)#and the young king... haunts.... the kingdom...??? you know what i'm still working on it#and yes the actual tutankhamon was buried at the valley of kings#but the giza pyramids were more of a recognisable structure for the backdrop of this LMAO

I realized with a start today that Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the first time King Kong, billed 91 years ago as the Eighth Wonder of the World, has visited the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only one of the first seven that still exists.
#the pyramids are also in an episode of the king kong show but only in the distance. doesn't count#now when is he climbing the burj khalifa#godzilla x kong the new empire#king kong

Submerged in Psychedelia
Let's dive into the technicolor waters of the Yellow Submarine! In 1968, when the world was spinning to the beat of peace, love, and trippy tunes, Pyramid Publications and King Features Syndicate jointly published the Official Beatles Yellow Submarine Magazine/The Beatles: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. The Beatles created this far-out treasure trove to celebrate their colorful fantasy film Yellow Submarine. The magazine features behind the scenes tidbits, an illustrated film synopsis, and even a few groovy sea creatures.

The entire conversation makes me think to how, in the anime, whenever somebody was missing the point in lesson he was trying to teach, or did something that he didn't really like, Brandon would just bellow "NO!" at them.
