lady margolotta please answer my calls

I'm Em, I'm a lesbian, I can't decide on a URL, and I'm relatively new to discworld. That's probably all you need to know. 🤷‍♂️ original posts are tagged as #my hot takes. icon from @carry-on-my-wayward-artblog

Sights of Ankh-Morpork: Patrician’s Palace (and the Patrician himself)

Not Watch, but Watch-adjacent: Lady Sybil!

A character I’m really fond of and I relate to as a big, shy lady who prefers kindness to confrontation and who used to think she’d be alone for ever.

…I guess the makers of the series didn’t think there was anything interesting about people like that. Meh.

[goddamnshinyrock]

Moist Von Lipwig has a very good explanation for all this, really, your lordship! 

[hogswatch-fanworks-exchange]

Welcome to the first day of the 2019 Hogswatch exchange!

Happy Hogswatch, @bookshelfpassageway, from your secret artist!

unpopular opinion: Vimes is kind of drama queen

[mangaluva-deactivated20220930]

Sam “held a burning hot coal until it nearly took the skin off his hand while maintaining perfect calm and eye contact with the asshole in need of intimidation Just Because” Vimes? Sam “sitting on the stoop with a mug of cocoa and a cigar, cautiously aware of every inch of the scene he’s building” Vimes? Sam “could just tear his sleeve to show the mark of the Summoning Dark but instead tears off his whole goddamn shirt” Vimes? A drama queen? Reaching a bit don’t you think

[thestuffedalligator]

Yep, certainly doesn’t seem to describe Sam “pretends to eat poison as a power move” Vimes. Not Sam “buries an axe in the table in the Rats Chamber” Vimes.

[mangaluva-deactivated20220930]

I mean are we really talking about Sam “yes a whole room full of candles with wicks dipped in holy water is the best way to beat this vampire” Vimes, here? Sam “has fought bad guys on top of a speeding train AND a riverboat during a flood” Vimes, really? Definitely Sam “nearly gets shot in the head by a crossbow bolt that shatters his shaving mirror and then uses the bolt to prop up a shard of said mirror to finish shaving” Vimes we’re discussing here?

Inktober day 15: Gaspode the Wonder Dog

I can’t remember the last time I ever drew a dog, but I had to include Gaspode in this series since he plays such a significant role in both Men at Arms and The Fifth Elephant. So here he is, the Nobby Nobbs of the dog world.

Inktober day 26: Sally von Humpeding

I’m a big fan of Sally, she’s great fun, especially her friendship with Angua and Cheery. (Although Angua might be a bit reluctant to use the word friendship on principle. It’s a werewolf-and-vampire thing.) I wish we’d seen more of her, because the idea of a vampire who’s replaced her thirst for blood with the drive to be a good copper is such a good concept.

excerpts from the ankh-morpork city officials group chat

R. Drumknott, Personal Clerk to the Patrician, 15:34: I am merely a tool at his lordship’s disposal, Mr Boggis. I will do what I can. 

Jack Of All Trades Guild Head, Moist von Lipwig, 15:35: [sends in a screenshot where he’s just erased half of Drumknott’s message so that it just says “I am merely a tool”] 

R. Drumknott, Personal Clerk to the Patrician, is typing.

"It's a beautiful day in Ankh Morpork and you are a horrible goose"

@moistvonlipwig-suggests @obsle and other people who came up with this horrible idea

[cakesandfail]

it was me lmao

[crocincrocsart]

Vimes in C4? (Also your art is brilliant)

That was some time since I’ve drawn some discworld, thanks!

Inktober 2019 The Watch

Day 28 Rufus Drumknott

I did Vimes’s man, now I’ve done Vetinari’s. Drumknott is “devoid of personality” but really he’s quite concerned with the smallest of efficiency details. He has paid close enough attention to Vetinari to almost predict his needs, and was offended when his master joked that Drumknott was stealing paper clips. He’s a clerk who loves filing. If only we all were so content.

r/relationships u/madammeserole My [45F] nephew [16M] came out to me as sapiosexual. What should I do? My nephew is a great kid, charming, skilled, very intelligent, but I’m worried he’s going through a snob phase. I’m the one raising him, because his parents are gone, and I want to do things right. I obviously don’t think there’s a “wrong” answer when you’re questioning your sexuality, since I’m a lesbian myself, but how do I let him know that I support him no matter what while at the same time ALSO letting him know that calling yourself sapiosexual is the most pretentious thing in the world? (We haven’t discussed it yet. I just nodded and said “okay” when he told me.) TL;DR how can I show my nephew support AND help him sound like less of a windbag? Thanks!

[mothric]

me? letting an entire fic play out in my head from beginning to end and not writing a single thing down, thus forever sealing it in my brain as a self-indulgent relic that will never see the light of day?? 

it’s exactly as likely as you think

[duke-draws]

I’m going straight to the scorpion pit,,,

additionally, the Vimes:

[noahczernys]

no one:

me, talking about my fave character:

[rem-ir]

any Patrician born after 1951 can’t cook… all they know is inhale arsenic fumes, faint, be gay, take horse medicine, and lie

[rem-ir]

i must always reiterate that hot buff vimes fanartists are in the pocket of sybil and vetinari’s propaganda machine bc vimes is 1) not hot 2) not buff

[patricianandclerk]

so alongside every political cartoon sybil has framed and put up in the library, you’re telling me she also prints off and frames bara vimes art of him in his leggings too huh

[rem-ir]

yeah they go on the cover of her trapper keeper

[patricianandclerk]

you know when they used to do trading cards of sexy women in cigarette packets? can you imagine that in ankh-morpork, but it’s just like. sexy public figures. and it’s like…

vimes who’s at his most Bara and Unrealistic, moist in golden lingerie, vetinari holding a stamp and raising an eyebrow suggestively

[rem-ir]

extremely cursed because the real world equivalent of that would be like if your city council came out with a pinup calendar

[patricianandclerk]

more like if your city council got made, against their wills and with their EXPRESS disapproval, into a pinup calendar, and it was inexplicably the most unironically popular thing in the world
