Well Isn't That Wizzard?

Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree. But much, much later than that the Discworld was formed. Drifting onwards through space...atop four elephants on the shell of a giant turtle, the great A'Tuin. And so our story begins in...

Someone asked my maths professor why numbers exist and she said “One day, for whatever reason, someone decided they wanted to count things and it’s been a major inconvenience for everybody ever since.”

This is channeling the spirit of Terry Pratchett

“You know how stuff runs in families? Blue eyes, buck teeth, that sort of thing? Well, Death runs in my family. I remember things that haven’t happened yet and I can TALK THAT TALK and stalk that stalk and…if he gets sidetracked, then I’ll have to do it. And he does get sidetracked.”

First, there was luggage you’d have carry. Then came luggage with wheels. Now, this robotic luggage follows you.

I would legit paint it up to have teeth and dangly little legs.

[iopele]

okay but considering that Pokemon Go often shows me suddenly sprinting about 3 blocks away from where I really am and then sprinting back about 9 blocks in the opposite direction and only occasionally getting within 100 feet of where I actually am, I can anticipate one or two problems with this

baby dragons that sleep in your fireplace and roll about in the soot and the ash trying to get comfortable on burning logs, screeching loudly whenever people walk by or when more logs need to be added to its roost and not stopping until content again

baby dragons with wings that are disproportionate to their bodies until older but nonetheless stubbornly trying to pick themselves up off the ground by running and aggressively flapping and managing to only get a few feet off the ground for a few seconds before crash landing

baby dragons that haven’t been exposed to priceless things such as gems and gold pieces and instead infatuate themselves with other unusual shiny things — like silverware, brass clocks, instruments, and pots and pans

baby dragons who get cold in the winter and crawl up into their caretaker’s clothing (almost always while said clothing is being worn) and curl up as tight as possible and begin to make sounds similar to content purring as they sleep

[stepchildofthesun]

baby dragons making whiny hungry bird noises until they’re fed

baby dragons being afraid of the family cat for a while until after a few days the cat wanders up to the sleeping pile of scales and fire and curling around them for a nap in the sunshine

baby dragons stealing the shiny car keys and chewing on them

baby dragons gently nibbling on the jewelry of their favorite people- and not so gently with people they don’t like

[life-of-an-average-freak]

baby dragons blowing tiny puffs of smoke out their noses when they snore

baby dragons using the cat’s scratching post

baby dragons wearing tiny saddles with knight-in-shining-armour action figures riding on their backs

baby dragons roasting mini marshmallows mid-air when you toss them before eating them

baby dragons hiding on top of bookshelves and cabinets when they don’t want to go to the vet

Considering voice channels are a thing on discord as well as voice recording sites and apps, would people still be interested in reading out Discworld related things?

[discworldbound]

Sure. I’ve been told I have a great voice for that sort of thing.

Of course, many of the people who said that are teenage American girls who seem to swoon at any vaguely “British” accent - but not all, at least.

[isnt-thatwizzard]

awwww yeah, sounds like fun.

[thepressureabove]

Short answer: yes Longer answer: what do you mean? What is this? What would it entail?

[isnt-thatwizzard]

In another chat I’m in we approached a similiar idea and we plan (since its quite active and has many users) to pick a day or days/times where one or more people read out doctor who fic, official book stories, scripts, just all in good fun. 

Several times since i made this blog, the idea of something like this has sprouted up in chats or tags. And with discord, a channel can be devoted to it as well as a voice chat channel.

would any of you amazing discworld/good omens artists allow me to use a fanart image to promo my discworld rp muses? You would of course receive credit and the image/plus credit would be promo’d on more than one blog. I just...fail at digital art myself and there’s so few discworld rp muses that having art sometimes helps when actual images aren’t plentiful. 

I have a Lipwig muse, Susan muse and a Crowley muse. I would be so grateful for anything I could use to introduce them to indie roleplay.

◹ ◺ You’re Golden: A M.V.Lipwig fanmix/playlist (x) 

Some snippets, (though its not just due to the lyrics):

Gold- Imagine Dragons

When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold.

That Man- Caro Emerald

Ooh that man is like a flame And ooh that man plays me like a game My only sin is I can't win Ooh I wanna love that man Ooh that man is on my list And ooh that man I wanna kiss My only sin is I can't win Ooh I wanna love that man

No Business Like Showbusiness- Irving Berlin

There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low Angels come from everywhere with lots of jack, and when you lose it, there's no attack Where could you get money that you don't give back? let's go on with the show

Razzle Dazzle - Chicago

Give 'em the old three ring circus Stun and stagger 'em When you're in trouble, go into your dance Though you are stiffer than a girder They let you get away with murder

Thief- Imagine Dragons

If only you You could see 

The darkest place that you could be

Oh maybe then you'd understand From desert heat to cobbled streets From broken home to the city beat There's so much more than you could know

Glitter and Gold- Barns Courtney

I am flesh and I am bone Rise up, ting ting, like glitter and gold I've got fire in my soul Rise up, ting ting, like glitter Like glitter and gold Like glitter

Uptown Funk (you know why, if you know this blog.)

Just Like Fire- Pink (someone suggested it in his tag and I agree)

Just like fire, burning out the way If I can light the world up for just one day Watch this madness, colorful charade No one can be just like me any way Just like magic, I'll be flying free

Do It Anyway- Ben Folds Five

You might put your love and trust on the line It's risky, people love to tear that down Let 'em try Do it anyway Risk it anyway

There’s more than 20 and if I find more, they can be added. You may need an account to listen to them but its free and you can use google or facebook. Or just look at which songs I chose and listen elsewhere.

[terrypratchettparadise]

A witch didn’t do things because they seemed a good idea at the time! That was practically cackling. You had to deal every day with people who were foolish and lazy and untruthful and downright unpleasant, and you could certainly end up thinking that the world would be considerably improved if you gave them a slap. But you didn’t because, as Miss Tick had once explained: a) it would make the world a better place for only a very short time; b) it would then make the world a slightly worse place; and c) you’re not supposed to be as stupid as they are.

Is the plot of every single Night Watch book “some dumbass thinks Ankh-Morpork needs a king”?

[nestofstraightlines]

I’d say the first three books form a pretty perfect trilogy which develops the conversation between vimes, vetinari and carrot around the theme of what ankh-morpork is to become, and by the end of FOC A-M is over the idea of kingship (or has accepted that the best way to be a king is to be a captain in the Watch)
