So I was looking at my bookshelf and forgot I have the Ankh Morpork City Watch diary from 1999.
It's unused from 1999. I bought it in 2002ish because I was and still am an avid collector of Discworld stuff. I've kept it in good condition! But on a whim I decided to read it because it has some incredibly cool companion stuff written by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs.
First off, the profile at the front looks like THIS
You can enter the option "Gender (if known)".
This was released in *1999*.
Second of all, there's an entire section explaining to prospective recruits why the City Watch doesn't have a Vice squad.
Because not only is sex work legal, the Seamstress' Guild is a powerful political force in the city. They have collective bargaining, their own enforcers who protect guild staff and... well Sam Vimes himself is inclined to believe that if you piss off the Agony Aunts, to harm the women (and men but I'll get to that) of the Guild you probably did something worthy of a kicking.
I dunno, kind of a refreshing view on sex work? That it's a legit way to earn a living and should be protected? 🤷🏼♀️
Finally, I also noticed this passage-
Molly houses.
One of these clubs is called The Blue Cat club and it's mentioned/alluded to in a couple of the books and its owner Mr Harris (no doubt, as the L Space wiki notes, named after Frank Harris) has a seat on the board of the Guild. Rosemary Palm, the head of the Guild, insisted.
We learn in Night Watch (released three years later) that this is because Havelock Vetinari and Rosie Palm go way back.
Like, this isn't terribly impressive now- but for the 90s this was about as good a representation as you were gonna get. Whilst most of this is part of the books themselves, it's nice to see it explicitly spelled out in the companion material.
I just appreciate that Terry Pratchett knew that these sides of society existed and didn't think of them as "wrong" or signs of societal decay. He saw them as normal parts of the human condition especially in urban settings. They might as well be regulated and legitimate and the workers protected by a pair of sadistic women with umbrellas.
He wanted to go home. He wanted it so much that he trembled at the thought. But if the price of that was selling good men to the night, if the price was filling those graves, if the price was not fighting with every trick he knew…then it was too high.
Me? getting emotional when the lilacs started blooming last week?
I’m er, actually quite enjoying The Watch??
Detritus is the best member of the watch and I will fist fight anyone who says differently. We should all be so lucky as to have a friend like Detritus.
The entirety of this term I was back at school for (5-6 weeks) I wrote 'Fabricati diem, pvnc' on every. single. whiteboard every. Single. Day.
working on a Vimes paper doll bc I wanna put him in dumb outfits and make my own designs for the watch armor
