Goodluck Pikachu

Goodluck Pikachu

thinking non-stop about the Terry Pratchett Method of Deconstruction (TM) and how it works

[...] the wages of sin is death, but so is the salary of virtue, and at least the evil get to go home early on Fridays. (Witches Abroad)

Take a common concept, metaphor, idiom, trope etc. "The wages of sin is death."

Invert, reverse or subvert it to highlight the inconsistency or issue. "But so is the salary of virtue." (Well, actually, everybody dies, right?)

While everybody's contemplating the philosophy revealed, overextend the metaphor and whack them in the back of the head with the joke like a comedic quintain while they aren't expecting it. "At least the evil get to go home early on Fridays."

He does it quite often and I love it every time.

Love it, love it, love it. I have yet to read the entire Discworld series, much less Witches Abroad, but this is a great line and I would love to borrow it for my own day-to-day--full credit to Sir Pterry, of course. "At least the evil get to go home early on Fridays." Chef's kiss!

Go read an old fic.

There's such recency bias in fandom. As an author you post something, get a few reactions, and then it goes off into the bin. As a reader you check the tags, see what's new, and move on. But a lot of old stuff is really good. It's just sitting there, gathering dust, waiting for someone to take a peek.

So go on. Treat yourself.

Read an old fic.

That's what I do sometimes; instead of starting at page 1, I start from the last page and go forth until today. I found a few gems that way and you can also see how the fandom has moved with and from the source material, it's fun.

i don’t get horror movies, why doesn’t the protagonist just act in a way which will prevent a story from being told or piece of entertaining media made

OBJECT FOCUS: SHIP PENDANTS

1,2,3,4.

The ship motif began to appear on pendants from the beginning of the 1500s, when designers expressed the excitement of maritime exploration through pendants shaped as galleons. These examples range in date from the 1600s to the early 1900s, and together demonstrate how the ship motif achieved longevity with in the decorative arts and jewellery design. These pendants are very beautiful, displaying incredibly skilled craftsmanship and excellent design.

Perfectly Comfy

awlwren

[id: four panel comic featuring a seal: in the first panel, they are wrapped up in a blanket on the couch, surrounded by snacks and a laptop with true crime on it. Smiling in contentment, they are labelled “perfect comfy”.

Glancing at the end table, they frown as they see their mug is not there, and ask “Drink?” in distress.

“Oh no!” they exclaim, spying the missing tea at the other end of the very long coffee table, an eternity away.

Tugging the blanket more snugly around them, a tear in their eye, they cry “help” softly, hoping someone will make the tea appear close at hand without them having to move from perfect comfy.]/end id.
