i’m in love w everything about this

I’ve made some color changes that I’m aware not everybody will like, but imo they work better as a set this way, and I’m a little pedantic about sets, sorry!
If anyone gets prints, pleeease tell me about them when they arrive, I’ve never sold prints before and I’m very curios what you think and how the quality turns out.
If you have a moment, could you tell me which of these four illustration is your favorite, and why? Always curious about people’s thoughts on the things I draw :>
Also apologies in advance to my followers, I will reblog this. A lot :^)
For years I thought that my complete disinterest in participating in polyamory was because I just couldn’t get rid of those damn societal lessons. Tonight, though, I realised that it actually probably has more to do with me being demisexual and probably also grey-aromantic and never having been attracted to more than one person at a time. Although I’m sure the societal thing is still in the mix.
Also my feelings of being 100% straight (which they say is pretty uncommon for women) I realised is much more statistically likely to happen when you can count all of the people you’ve ever been attracted to on one hand.
This has been another episode of “ever since Chloe looked into grey/demisexuality, every time she sits down to think about it she makes lots of realisations.” I now return you to your regular programming.

@bismuthsnowflakes water potato !!!
Men at Arms is a direct attack on the idea of monarchy and aristocracy that so much “high fantasy” is based on; Jingo is a fantasy war story that denies the reader the “fun” of seeing a war break out and ends up attacking the concept of war; the character of Rincewind is a subversion of the whole idea of heroism. Monstrous Regiment is a meditation on feminism, Cherry Littlebottom and other female dwarfs a commentary on gender identity and trans people, Thud! a statement against ethnic hatred. But all this deconstruction and subversion didn’t come across as having to eat your vegetables, the way literary fiction often does. And it didn’t come across as a bitter, guilty pleasure either, the way people geek out about the horrifying viciousness of “low fantasy” worlds like A Song of Ice and Fire’s Westeros. Pratchett somehow made his progressive, subversive work as tasty a snack as any of the high fantasy he was subverting. Much of that candy coating was humor–the ability to laugh, as he once argued, being our brain’s way of extracting pleasure from the otherwise painful process of recognizing uncomfortable truths.
Arthur Chu breaks down the importance of Discworld in his farewell tribute to Sir Terry Pratchett, A Guide to Escape from Escapism (via landunderwave)
Part of why it worked was because Pratchett didn’t sneer at heroism or idealism, he showed how good intentions go bad and over the course of centuries things fossilise and need to be replaced, and most importantly, he showed the heroism of the small. Yes, he showed the other side of the coin, the darker side of the heroic and epic, but he didn’t use that as an excuse to go Martin’s way of “this is what it’s really like: murder, rape and treachery under all the fine words”.
People like Vimes who stuck to duty even in his worst hours, when he was sunk in self-loathing and alcoholism, a dangerous man who sabotaged himself half-intentionally, because it was in his bones and because (as we got to know in “Night Watch”) he also had his own ideals and idealism that he doggedly held on to, even when half-ashamed of that.
He permits honour to exist in his world, even if it’s not kings and knights in shining armour.
It may be low fantasy, but it’s never vile. Even when he’s showing us what real evil looks like.

this one is actually two years old but I never posted it, still funny tho
Me @ the trope where a man starts noticing attractions to men and his wife/gf find out and yell about him lying etc etc and he's instantly labelled as gay: ??? but bisexuality ??? he could so easily love you AND be attracted to men ??? do they teach bi erasure at hollywood writer school ?? because you're all really good at it ??

I love Discworld fans.
“Listen, there are forty-one books in this series that’s been going since the 80′s, so it’s going to be a little daunting! Luckily there are at least forty-one approaches to the reading order, so you’ve got options! Just…don’t start with The Color of Magic, for god’s sake. I mean, theoretically, yes, you could read them in order but hell, who would want to? Start with Guards! Guards!, he’s got the hang of the thing by then. Personally, I read them using this chart!”
At which point they’ll pull out this lovingly made infographic that probably has sodding footnotes to boot, they’re so goshdarn helpful about it, when honestly, none of us really care which order you read them in, as long as you read them somehow.
Just…don’t judge the series by The Light Fantastic, wait to read that one after you’ve finished Soul Music or something and feel brave enough to go back. Seriously, the first few books aren’t BAD or anything, but they’re like comparing a sketch in Leonardo’s notebook to The Last Supper.
Discworld fandom gatekeepers do gatekeeping about as well as Ankh-Morpork does. We just let you in, and before you’ve turned around twice you’ve spent all your money and live here, and for all intents and purposes you’re one of us.
