finished The Wee Free Men and HAD to draw something for it or I’d never forgive myself

William coughed politely. "And the big wave threw up a lot of sunken vessels full o' trrrreasure," he said. "We stopped off for a wee pillage."

The Nac Mac Feegle held up wonderful jewels and big gold coins.

"But that's just dream treasure, surely?" said Tiffany. "Fairy gold! It'll turn into rubbish in the morning!"

"Aye?" said Rob Anybody. He glanced at the horizon. "Okay, ye heard the kelda, lads! We got mebbe half an hour to sell it to someone! Permission to go offski?" he added to Tiffany.

"Er...oh, yes. Fine. Thank you--"

They were gone, in a split-second blur of blue and red.

Got blank nesting/matryoshka dolls for Christmas and decided to Pratchett them! Then Granny Weatherwax looked weird without a hat, so I had to make that too 😆

"I never braked my word yet," said Rob. "Except to polis'men and other o' that kidney, ye ken, and they dinna count."

I rarely post cosplay stuff on this hellsite (lovingly). But I thought: Why not? This time.

Tiffany was a dream project of mine for a long time now and finally, I was able to deliver. I am quite proud of how it turned out as well. I even made a little Rob Anybody to aid me on my quests on the Chalk.

“For a witch stands on the very edge of everything, between the light and the dark, between life and death, making choices, making decisions so that others may pretend no decisions have even been needed.”

Only one will make it into the bracket

Crivens!

I made this one for funsies, and tonight I realized I needed a character for my husband's Runescape-based campaign. He's already annoyed at my shenanigans.

I can’t recommend the Tiffany Aching books enough.

There are 5 books that span the preteen to young adult events of a young witch from a barren place known as The Chalk outside of Ank-Morpork. These are lesser known gems that I cherish deeply. They were written with young readers in mind, but they’re absolutely comfort food (particularly if you were raised by a Scottish granny like me- listening to Stephen Briggs read the Nac Mac Feegles make me homesick). They were all available via audio book from my library app (libby).

'Whut's the plan, Rob?' said one of them. 'Okay, lads, this is what we'll do. As soon as we see somethin', we'll attack it. Right?' This caused a cheer. 'Ach, 'tis a good plan,' said Daft Wullie.

Nac Mac Feegle wa-hey! CRIVENS! day three of practicing faces, Rob Anybody. a blue paint chip wasn't the best idea for viewing, but it had to be blue. Still came out nicely I think.

"Why is it, Rob Anybody, that you persist in lying when you have been caught red handed?"

"Weel, what would be the point of lyin' when you had nae done anything wrong?"

"She actually tried to dance with the Wintersmith," Miss Treason repeated. "I told her not to."

"Ach, people're are always tellin' us not tae do things," said Rob Anybody. "That's how we ken what's the most interestin' things tae do!"

Miss Treason stared at him with the eyes of one mouse, two ravens, several moths, and an earwig.

"Indeed," she said, and sighed. "Yes. The trouble with being this old, you know, is that being young is so far away from me now that it seems sometimes that it happened to someone else. A long life is not what it's cracked up to be, that is a fact."

I so badly want the Tiffany Aching Series to be adapted for TV! It could be so magical (pun intended). I think @neil-gaiman could be just the one to bring it to life ♥️

I can think of several Scots to play the Nac Mac Feegle. "Nae laird! Nae quin! We willna be fooled agin!"

calling my lover "mine" but not in the way that my toothbrush or notebook are mine, mine in the way my neighborhood is mine, and also everybody else's, "mine" like mine to tend to, mine to care for, mine to love. "mine" not like possession but devotion.

I couldn't resist... I needed to draw out the lyrics.......
