Allied forces land in Sulani and take back control from the NWE
Allied forces joined together for a joint invasion of the Sulani Islands, finally landing on Ohan'ali Island and taking control of Chieftain's Villa, arresting the Windenburgian forces found there.
Simsdom Imperial Naval forces led the charge and the evacuation of the notable prisoners from the Villa- the arrest of Empress Agathe, Albert Strauss, Duke of Windslar, Prince Eugene and his wife Princess Mathilda, and the custody of Princess Edaline.
Despite surprisingly limited resistance to the invasion, a few losses were sustained on both sides, notably- Commander Terry Harden of the Imperial Navy, Earl of Culpepper, and Lieutenant Colonel Malcolm Landgraab of the Oasis Army, Lord Landgraab of Oasis Springs. Our condolences to their families.

Prisoners are being transported to Glimmerbrooke and direct governing power of Sulani will be handed back to the Chief and her council of Elders. Plans are already being made to return the Chief and her family to Sulani.
This marks the official end of Emperor Victor's usurpation of the Island Nations- with Selvadorada, Tartosa, and now Sulani finally being returned to independant sovereignty. This means that now the New Windenburgian Empire consists solely of Windenburg and Newcrest- a huge win for the Allied Forces.

Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax of Discworld are the iconic old lady duo of all time, for many reasons. One of those reasons being that Nanny Ogg has had sex with countless men both within and outside marriage, and is still bragging about it as an old lady. And at the same time, Granny Weatherwax is explicitly a virgin (and possibly asexual) for all of her life and is proud of it. And that was both of their choices, and neither of them regret a thing. Sure, they make snide remarks at each other about it, but they make snide remarks at each other about everything. And as an extra bonus Magrat only sleeps with one man after she marries him and that is also considered perfectly alright. That's not even going into the fact that Nanny Ogg is both maternal and horny, that Granny Weatherwax is handsome but was never pretty, and that Magrat is idealistic and femme but also filled with violent rage. I just love them so much.
Happy Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May to all who observe.
Like last year, I opted to do a redraw of an old drawing from 2020; a companion piece to my previous drawing, a redraw from 2019. Night Watch is a good context to revisit the past and look at how I've evolved.
Saruman the White ponders his palantír. "You are the trusted apprentice to one of the greatest Wizards in all Middle-earth" in A Spy in Isengard (Angus McBride cover art for Middle-earth Quest gamebook #1 by Terry K Amthor, Iron Crown Enterprises, 1988). McBride has been memed more than once.
I actually think it’s a tragedy for English literature that the inexorable march of time has erased all traces of the Lord of the Rings/Pride and Prejudice crossover fic that was written by the teenage Terry Pratchett.
There used to be such simple directions, back in the days before they invented parallel universes – Up and Down, Right and Left, Backward and Forward, Past and Future … But normal directions don’t work in the multiverse, which has far too many dimensions for anyone to find their way. So new ones have to be invented so that the way can be found. Like: East of the Sun, West of the Moon. Or: Behind the North Wind. Or: At the Back of Beyond. Or: There and Back Again. Or: Beyond the Fields We Know. And sometimes there’s a short cut. A door or a gate. Some standing stones, a tree cleft by lightning, a filing cabinet. Maybe just a spot on some moorland somewhere … A place where there is very nearly here.

Granny Weatherwax is consistently described as handsome rather than beautiful and always keeps her hair tied up tight under her hat and has no interest in romantic or sexual contact past present or future and drives a janky old car broom which she refuses to let anyone else fix or replace and is deeply practical and self sufficient in her household management and is gruff and compassionate and mentors the younger members of her community and has zero time for bullies or bigots and what I'm Saying is. Stone Butch Granny Esme Weatherwax fucking When
I love when people draw him with longer hair (I personally always imagined it to be short), so I like to headcanon him having had longer hair in the early books and prior to that!
