They say that sudden, intense cravings for very specific foods are usually a sign of a vitamin deficiency. If so, that I'm presently making myself french toast, scrambled eggs, and a bacon and cheese sandwich at 11:45 PM must mean the vitamin I'm missing is grease.

[helendamnationx]

Just want to make sure people are aware that the artist is on ArtStation and many of these, including the longing stare at witch one, are in fact for sale as prints for highly reasonable prices - the cheapest option being an 8 by 12 art poster for 18 US dollars (plus shipping).

HERE’S HIS WEBSITE

Not only will you get to see the hilarious names of these works but usually a short story and a detailed look at his work progress!

He also does a lot of werewolf art which I adore!

It seems like all kids do nowadays is create homonculi in their basements.

If replies are to be trusted, it seems like there has to be a village of Mechanicsburgers for each spark. Seems like a healthy balance

Vampires that aren't just universally immune to crosses, but abhor the symbols and scriptures of whatever faith they practiced and believed while alive. A determined team of monster hunters are baffled on how to defeat an atheist vampire before discovering that while alive as a human, the vampire was really into stoic philosophy, and decide to give that a try.

The vampire shrieks in torment as they read aloud an excerpt of one of the letters of Epictetus, which delves into the exact way and reasons why seeking to pursue any sort of immortality or an undying name for oneself would make someone a bitch and a coward.

Could Lord Havelock Vetinari solve the Kira murders?

Could catch Kira, would survive

Could not catch Kira, would survive

I will say, things have never run smoother than with Lord Vetinari around. I'm almost sad to see him go... Well, regardless, it seems that Lord Havelock Vetinari could catch Kira and survive, quite handily as well. ...I mentioned being sad to see him go, but it was rather difficult to see him even enter or leave, sometimes. A man with a cane has no business being so skilled in stealth and camouflage - it's as if he's a trained assassin, or something. I must be imagining it...

[forthegothicheroine]

Vetinari putting Light in charge of the sewers is the most beautiful plot I can imagine

[downtroddendeity]

There's one other possibility I can see.

Light, for all his scheming, is a teenager, and therefore if he's stupid enough to start trying to be Kira in Ankh-Morpork, it's also possible that he's stupid enough not to realize that getting rid of Lord Vetinari is an extremely bad idea. Therefore, there is a scenario in which one of the names of criminals who have escaped justice in Kira's very first batch of victims is a man who publicly admitted to treason and then weaseled out of it completely scot-free at the trial, one Havelock Vetinari.

However, from the other side, this scenario appears as follows:

Lord Vetinari is doing some of the immense amounts of paperwork required to keep Ankh-Morpork from descending into even more bedlam than usual for another day. He suddenly experiences intense chest pain. He collapses at his desk. He remembers that he has so much paperwork to do. He sits back up and gets back to work.

It takes several hours before even Vetinari himself notices that he's a zombie now.

[roach-works]

vetinari hands vimes the death note, not because he thinks it'll give vimes a moment's moral indecision but because he wants to see the face vimes makes. like obviously he sets it on fire immediately. but right before then he is going to make SUCH a face and vetinari couldn't resist finding out exactly what ratio of absolute horror to defiant self-righteousness happens.

[igorigorina]

So which one of you is the spark and which one of you is a citizen of Mechanicsburg?

[demilypyro]

vampires are so full of shit. "oh the human race is beneath us, you're just livestock to us" I don't think you know what livestock is. do you feed us? care for us? protect us from predators? no. you just slink around dark alleys and ambush people. that's not what a higher being does. that's a bottom feeder. a parasite. karate punches your head off
