I've read Terry Pratchett's Mort a few months ago and came up with this design for Mort

[asexualandkinkyaf]

I thought Discworld couldn’t get any funnier at book 1 or 2, but I’m currently reading Mort (book 4) and it GOT FUNNIER. Will it just keep on getting funnier from here on out? Am I in danger??

Mort in a nutshell:

Have you ever seen Ukrainian Discworld books?

this time, I would like to show you what books Ukrainians read.

it was...2017 (?) when Pratchett's novels appeared in Ukrainian; in 2019, I met these books for the first time.

I am not going to comnent the design (though I love it so much, it is cute and have minor spoilers for the content), but the useful point OUGHT to be mentioned.

as you can see, at the end of the books (I think... starting in 2021, this thing appeared at the end, in 2019 it definitely didn't) there is an infographic (?) that shows the number of series of the Discworld, their sequence and not yet translated novels (they are white, although I have already seen "Small Gods"...mmm ok).

is the translation good, btw?

honestly, I was surprised it is; however, there are remarks that sometimes report the impossibility of direct translating certain Pratchett puns.

and the last...it normally costs 10 dollars (which is expensive, honestly...but buyworthy).

“Well,----me,” he said. “A----ing wizard. I hate----ing wizards!”

“You shouldn’t----them, then,” muttered one of his henchmen, effortlessly pronouncing a row of dashes.

Ok I get it now, I get it why people who have read Discworld never stop telling other people to read Discworld. I’m less than a quarter through Mort and I’m completely charmed by this world and this writing

'Tell me how, wizard,' said Mort.

'My magic's all I've got left!' wailed Albert.

'You don't need it, you old miser.'

'You don't frighten me, boy—'

LOOK INTO MY FACE AND TELL ME THAT.

Mort snapped his fingers imperiously. Ysabell bent her head over the book again.

' "Albert looked into the blue glow of those eyes and the last of his defiance drained away",' she read, ' "for he saw not just Death but Death with all the human seasonings of vengeance and cruelty and distaste, and with a terrible certainty he knew that this was the last chance and Mort would send him back into Time and hunt him down and take him and deliver him bodily into the dark Dungeon Dimensions where creatures of horror would dot dot dot dot dot",' she finished. 'It's just dots for half a page.'

'That's because the book daren't even mention them,' whispered Albert. He tried to shut his eyes but the pictures in the darkness behind his eyelids were so vivid that he opened them again. Even Mort was better than that.

Mort, by Terry Pratchett

To cleanse this page I have more Death fanart because I like him, he's fun

The space under the scythe felt empty so the 5 second Death sketch with the shortest book synopsis was a must

Also kitty :D
