one thing that i've noticed and begun to seriously appreciate upon rereading the watch novels is --
sam and sybil are not in love when they get married.
they like each other, but they aren't in love. and i think this is why sybil seems to be kind of in the background of men at arms and feet of clay, like, sure, she's his wife and he appreciates her and cares for her but he doesn't love her -- yet.
and i think it's the knitting moment at the end of jingo when it happens to him. like that john green quote about how you fall in love slowly and then all at once? i think the moment when he comes home and she's been trying to knit him socks but she's no good at knitting and so it ends up being a scarf instead of socks -- i think that's the "all at once".
and then after jingo, suddenly sybil matters more to him, appears more in his thoughts, he's so proud of her in the fifth elephant for everything she does (she is such a badass in the fifth elephant), and it's the cigar case she gave him that is what he longs for amd desperately needs to hold onto in night watch, the memory of her. she's much more important to him and his perspective in the later watch books, and yes the doylist interpretation is that sir terry developed the relationship more as he grew as a writer because he didn't feel like he was very good at writing romance, but i like the watsonian interpretation --
that sam vimes was not in love with sybil ramkin when he married her, but instead fell madly in love with her along the way.
#discworld#gnu terry pratchett#sam vimes#sybil vimes nee ramkin#sam/sybil#i love this relationship so much#i mean. he wears the scarf proudly. no shame or bashfulness about it the way he used to be cringey at her displays of affection#and after that he wears the socks she makes for him even though she's still not very good at making them#because he loves her and she made these socks for him#it's just very sweet#i love them your honor

yet write something; and take care of yourself
Vimes represents Ankh-Morpork abroad, and misses home.
been thinking about love letters, and the vimeses, and having nothing to say to someone but wanting to say it to them anyway.

Terry Pratchett really knew how to make het ships, huh?
refs under cut
Vimes and Sybila: The bride and the ugly ass groom
Magrat and Verence: I trased this back to the future fanart (that is why it is so much better then rest lol) based on this meme ofc
Carrot and Angua: The source is this famous little mermaid comic but I was inspired by this dungeon meshi fanart
Adora and Moist: This ship dynamic post

It's no mystery how Lady Sybil fell in love with Sam Vimes. She's quite used to caring for good hearted, self destructive little critters one occasionally needs to scrape off the floor

We talk about how quickly Vimes had it down bad for Sybil, but can we also appreciate that five foot nothing of scrawny alcoholic turned up at Sybil's door and she was immediately like "help me with my dragons. let's have tea. did you know my ancestors fucked severely? gosh you're a captain, how dashing." When Vimes was injured she could have had him put in her spare bed but nope, she put him in her bedroom. And then she slapped his arse. Lady Sybil knew what she wanted.

If there's one thing about Terry Pratchett, he sure knows how to write a romance between World's Lamest Dude and Woman With Autism

Every step I choose to take begins to set the world aflame!
And the soldiers march behind me,
I can hear them beat their spears!
And for the first time in all my life,
I know I'm more than what I fear!
Happy Glorious 25th of May!
