sudden elaborate headcanon: despite finally having understood the morporkian dollar to agatean monetary units conversion rates twoflower still exercises his old habit of throwing utterly excessive amounts of money left and right; half of that is fueled by the fact that he now has to deal with large amounts of it (due to the sudden onset of agatean-morporkian trading once the empire quit being the most closed-off nation since that one stone age tribe who invented walls), half by the fact that with his new paycheck of a grand vizier (he chose to stay viziering cause he knew rincewind wouldn't appreciate being potentially used as a tool of political manipulation over an entire country) he could buy a quarter of ankh-morpork while grocery shopping so a few thousand dollars becomes pocket change in perspective

due to that whenever rincewind returns to ankh-morpork after his annual trimonthly three months long husband time™ luggage is utterly STUFFED with bills; rincewind has mentioned meekly that he can easily live without carrying around the monetary equivalent of the tower of art but twoflower waved him off and went "oh well buy yourself an extra hat or something, it's not gonna kill you to have a little abundance for once will it?"

so instead rincewind's underneedy self spends whatever he gets on ponder because unlike him ponder has an acute need to buy machinery elements for his constant Contraptions (with a capital C) and has repeatedly dug himself into debt to his colleagues; now instead of running around begging for "just twenty bucks for that awesome little magic transformator i saw" ponder gets a much needed supply of paper symbols for as many of the aforementioned transformators as necessary

and everyone is happy and rincewind sometimes very sheepishly buys nail polish

Season 1, Episode 6 Yankee Doodle Doctor, is to in-universe American militarism and warmongering as the Gelbart-Reynolds era of MASH is to the real-world American military industrial complex, and by extension, state violence worldwide.

Sebastian's character development seems slow across the series, but only because demons lives are so very, very long that they work on a different time scale to us.

And yet, by that same virtue, Sebastian's attitude has changed in the span of just 3-4 years.

Can you imagine, then, seeing the difference in him between the start of this contract, and one he might have taken 3 or 4 hundred years ago? How much more cruel disregard for his patrons would he have had at that time?

And before that even, knowing that he was less inclined to take into account the quality of a soul, would he even have bothered with a contract? Would he have stalked the streets at times of great tragedy in the hopes of stealing a soul that had been missed by the Reapers?

Would the early Sebastian regard the current one in the same confusion and disdain as Claude does in the anime?

A client lashed out at me in my job. And screamed.

Geez I'm a PA, I'm not my boss.

But that pissed me so hard that I'm very very angry. And I'm that diminished my light today.

the portrayal of historical misogyny and homophobia in the dw special 'twice upon a time' was cinematically revolutionary as it didn't ignore the fact that classic who had problematic, offensive points of plot, while still keeping the episode itself entertaining for viewers (i.e. twelve chasing the first doctor around to keep him from voicing his misogynistic views from the sixties.) in this essay i will
