Higher Bracket Quarterfinals: Match 1

Madoka Kaname(Puella Magi Madoka Magica) vs The Great God Om(Discworld)

[cirrus-grey]

Brutha: If Om has million believers, I am one of them. If Om has ten believers, I am one of them. If Om has only one believer, that believer is me. If Om has no believers, then I am no more on the Disc.

Brutha: ...So fuck my life, I guess.

"I told you, I never made the world," said Om. "Why should I make the world? It was here already. And if I did make a world, I wouldn't make it a ball. People'd fall off. All the sea'd run off the bottom."

"Not if you told it to stay on."

"Hah! Will you hark at the man!"

"Besides, the sphere is a perfect shape," said Brutha. "Because in the Book of--"

"Nothing amazing about a sphere," said the tortoise. "Come to that, a turtle is a perfect shape."

"A perfect shape for what?"

"Well, the perfect shape for a turtle, to start with," said Om. "If it was shaped like a ball, it'd be bobbing to the surface the whole time."

"But it's a heresy to say the world is flat," said Brutha.

"Maybe, but it's true."

Inktober 52 2023 - Week 46 - 'Believe' DOUBLE BONUS

Last Christmas @scifer got me a discworld t-shirt, and it came in this awesome envelope with fake stamps from the discworld on it. I knew I had to do a drawing on the envelope at some point, and here it is! Have the god Om being his grumpy self.

Starting reading Small Gods in the discworld series (my first discworld novel!!!) and although I have read good omens and was slightly familiar with his writing through that, I was COMPLETELY unprepared for just how fucking HILARIOUS Terry Pratchett’s writing is

Every time you make a Mammon Mpreg (Jpeg but you know. Pregnant) I’m always eating so I literally nearly die.

I dotn want to die, what if I reincarnate as the Mpreg Baby

Spoilers for Terry Pratchett’s Small Gods

I’m about 3/4s of of the way through Small Gods en and I’m at the part where library is burning down and everyone’s trying to escape to Ankh-Morpork and in my head I was thinking ‘okey so they managed to save hundreds of scrolls using Brutha’s perfect memory and every character we care about is escaping to live in a safe city where Om can maybe become a big god again- okey I can see how this book is going to end, kinda bittersweet with the burning of Ephebe but the characters we like are free and there’ll probably be more wisdom about the nature of religion in this last quarter of the book which may very well be a slow ending about the characters we like having a happy ending’ BUT THEN they start taking about putting Vorbis on god damn TRIAL for what’s he’s done and Brutha being 100% precent for it and I’m just here like HoLy sHiT he’s actually gonna do it HOLY SHIT TERRY PRATCHETT IS GONNA HAVE HIS RELIGIOUS LEADER CHARACTER LOOK HIS ACTIONS IN THE GODDAMN EYE AND MAYBE NOT REALIZE WHAT HE’S DONE BUT HAVE MOST EVERYONE ELSE IN OMNIA REALIZE AND THEY WILL FINALLY BE FREE OF THE FAKE SURENESS AND FEAR OF THEIR LIVES VORBIS WILL FACE ACTUAL REAL CONSEQUENCES FOR HIS ACTIONS OH MY GOD OH MY GOD TERYY I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY KNIGHTED YOU
