Sergeant Skirt-and-Trousees

Genderfluid fictive of Sergeant Oliver Perks, he/him or she/her depending. I think "Jackrum and Blouse's little lad" also works as an effective way to describe my gender.

Shit man, this soldier war is fucked. I just saw a guy kill another guy, with a gun. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

[real-actual-guy]

some monstrous regiment doodles because i’m reading it rn and it might be my favorite discworld book yet. miserable polly perks be upon ye

[akasztofavirag-por]

I love how all the art of Maladict falls into 3 categories, which are 1) sexy and suave, 2) kissing Polly, and 3) little creechur gnawing on coffee beans

[littleladgender]

You've forgotten 4) massive dork and 5) Ah. Right. The horrors.

[oftheseathings]

Figuring out my design differences for Otto and Maladict cuz I don’t want them to have the same face.

[41protons]

So

I imagine Sergeant Jackrum (Monsrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett) looks quite a bit like Silver (Treasure planet)

Here’s a few sketches of the design:

[unhappytogekiss]

Polly Perks is very asexual coded

So I was reading my fave discworld book once again (monstrous regiment, it is good) and caught this passage

“So The Duchess would go to Paul if he was alive, or if he was dead it was allowable for it to go to Polly’s husband if she was married. And since Polly saw no prospect of that, she needed a brother.”

A lot of the book is an exploration of feminity and masculinity in a highly patriarchal society and as such, Polly also muses about sexuality. But she does so in a very detached way. She knows about all the sex and that, but she doesn't want to partcipate in it. It's just sort of over there and there's a disbelief that it could drive someone to act.

As a woman, Polly is flirted with by men and rejects them. As a man, Polly is flirted with by women and equally rejects them. (much of this is played for laughs in a very pantomime way)

She's got more important things to worry about, and just like her gender was back at the Duchess, the comp het nature of society is Getting in her Way. If sexuality is important at all, it's used as a tool to trick people.

I don't think Polly actually understands why someone's sexual attraction would be important to them. It's just something people do, that she does not do.

Growing up asexual, and not realising it until my 20s, felt so similar. When I was a teenager everyone was obsessed with sex and not destroying capitalism and I Could Not Work Out Why.

I LOVE JACKRUM!!!!!! and his LITTLE LADS!!!!!!!

[zaba-czarownik]

THE LADS!!!

[potato-lord-but-not]

Reread Monstrous Regiment a few months ago and forgot to show y’all my doodles of the booyyyysssssss

[littleladgender]

A (probably made for propaganda reasons) children's picture book showing Blouse tucking each member of the in-and-outs in a line into their bedrolls, and Jackrum coming by and giving each of his Little Lads a kiss on the forehead and everyone says good night before Blouse is about to blow out a lantern, and then you zoom out to see a stupidly long tent with Jade's legs sticking out at one end.

A picture or two at the end with Maladict, Wazzer and Polly about to do the same for their new squad.

[littleladgender]

I wonder if any vampires within the Temperance League manage several smaller obsessions as opposed to one grand one. You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket, after all. That's how you end up with the In-and-Outs.

[littleladgender]

Oliver Perks: "Iggy, you've slipped into slurring your words again." Igorina: "I have never thaid a thlur I could not reclaim, thir."

[plintoon]

It’s been a while since I drew anything with these guys. I love Igorina so much Discworld -Monstrous Regiment

[wizzardhat]

Completely obsessed with Maladict. This clown arrives on the scene like, yes i am very cool and mysterious, i drink coffee and smoke cigarettes and always look fashonably disheveled, does DIY embroidery on their hat for cool points, immedietly takes a liking to polly who just thinks theyre kind of smug and annoying, then spends half the book having a supermassive full scale mental breakdown and has to lay in a barn chewing on raw coffee beans for most of the climax, then returns and is like Polly did i do a good job? Was I cool, Polly? Are you listening? Please stop ignoring me Polly im going to make a bean necklace polly please. Pol. Polly hi. I love you.

[parkayquarts]

now im imagining what pride events in ankh morpork are like

[parkayquarts]

there will EXCLUSIVELY be kink at the ankh morpork pride parade

Extremely correct response, leaving out the inevitable debacle over citizens declaring counterfeit genders in order to have rarer pronoun pins to sell to collectors in the underground pronoun market.

Dibbler, only mildly discouraged, eventually realizes he can sell embellishments for your pronoun pin, which he claims will upgrade your gender.

Also of note is that there are no cops present at Ankh-Morpork Pride. This is not because they aren't welcome (everyone knows Nobby is as kinky as they come), but because the festivities include throwing bricks at the City Watch building and they are busy trying to make sure they still have a place to work the next day. The Night Watch prepares each year with a barricade, and pre-marriage Vimes always collects the good bricks so he can save for a house. Nobody is really sure where the tradition came from, but it's good fun and usually nobody gets hurt too badly.

The bricks are provided by Vetinari, who considers it a good test of city infrastructure and training for the Watch.

[skarabrae-stone]

Cheery would 100% march in the parade. She'd get Nobby to go with her, but Nobby would be completely oblivious as to why (he assumed she just wants company).

Moist von lipwig would have pride-themed stamps made; these would inevitably have some kind of issue, which would create some outrage and ultimately make the stamps more valuable as collectors' items.

I don't get the impression that Ankh Morpork ever had anti-sodomy or crossdressing laws, so I don't think the queer community's history with the police would be the same as it is in the real world. Especially because Cheery Littlebottom literally started the Dwarf trans/feminism movement as an officer of the Watch, with the Watch's support.

Dibbler would totally sell pride flags with the wrong colors (and then insist it was the "new, updated version" if anyone questioned him)

The nobility are all scandalized, meanwhile the Seamstresses Guild has a float in the parade

Adora Belle Dearheart is deeply involved with at least one queer organization and is one of the main organizers of the Pride festival, but refuses to answer any questions about why

Ridcully decides the wizards should be involved, and Ponder Stibbons should make a float and organize the refreshments for them to eat while riding on the float. Ridcully's concept of allyship is loudly saying, "Well done, that man!" and pointing at anyone he thinks is exhibiting particularly queer behavior.

Madam Sharn and Pepe release a whole new line of Pride-themed chainmail

Bengo Macarona is embraced as a gay icon

Reg Shoe decides the main pride event is too corporate, and organizes an alternative pride parade for the same time and place; this immediately gets subsumed by the main pride event. Some Omnians show up to Pride to protest and Reg is delighted to have someone to fight with.

[just7frogsinapeoplesuit]

More from the tags, I love all of you

[thesustainedworldatransverse]

Don't forget Igors/Igorinas offering gender affirmation surgery/growing replacement organs! I don't dare to imagine what their float would look like.

Rincewind somehow gets tangled up in the parade and is confused but relieved that no one is trying to kill him.

Nobby is wearing a dress yet still confused about why he's attending.

Polly Perks and Maladict(a)...are there.
