Yeah his name is Wet von Fakemustache and he fantasizes about his wife putting her cigarettes out on him, but let's not forget that "He's dead sir. I was there when they hanged him." is one of the coldest things ever said on the Disc.

#going postal #reading experience is like hey why am i getting genuine goosebumps every forty pages in a book where they forcefem a golem #anghammarad..........how is anghammarad in the same series as mr fusspot

Night Watch is a masterpiece and Hogfather will always be a personal favourite, but to me, to me, Going Postal will always be as close to perfect as a Discworld book can be. It introduces a new protagonist who immediately knocks it out of the park and establishes himself as one of the most iconic and fantastic Discworld protagonists in a pantheon of heavy hitters. He's a weasel. He's touched by divinity. He keeps getting himself into trouble because he has an unshakeable need to escalate. He's killed 2.338 people. He's apparently very attracted to women who smoke.

He's paired off against the perfect villain, his equal and opposite who has learned to cheat and swindle and con behind the language of corporate speak, "we hope and trust that our valued and loyal customers will bear with us over the coming months as we interact synergistically with changed management and our striving for excellence." It's a story about the capital-fuelled enshittification of a technology that can be good and improve the lives of thousands and how monopolies will literally strangle innovation.

It's a story about delivering a message from the dead.

#again monst reg and going postal back to back is crazy I know his quill was on fire #and it's nice that the big thing that people still say after his death is from this book. delivering a message from the dead etc etc #going postal #actually going to reread :)

My one boring tip to anyone in their 20s is to resist the temptation to rot in your room every time you get a free moment. Dismiss any neuroses you have about going outside and "being perceived". Be a dictator about it, plan your hangouts like they are binding commitments. No excuses! Go to the bar with your friends. Be kinda hungover at work. Socializing is like exercise; even if you don't feel like you want to, you should still do it because it's good for you.

Sir Terry Pratchett on Libraries (ook!)

"I was reading every damn thing in the library that there was, eclectically, I was... You know, that was it. But I was only doing it because I just wanted to read everything, I wanted to know everything... I taught myself more in the library than school taught me."

#tara <333 hands down

every time i think too deeply about buffy summers or presume to understand her fundamentally it's like ok are you coming to these conclusions because she is legitimately one of the best characters of all time not just from the writing but from smg's portrayal of the role or are you just projecting.................

#every time she talks about herself it's like I understand like I get it #and then I immediately question my hubris like oh you understand buffy??? you haven't even died twice #ive been through the metaphorical thing that respresented but literally @ myself how dare you #but also like I do. I do understand her. let's hold hands and think about personhood #btvs
