The best part of every Witches book is the mandatory scene where a switch gets flipped in Magrat's brain and she turns into the most terrifying thing on the Disc for 5 minutes. It never gets old.

Thinking about how being good at witch magic in discworld is all about how out of place you feel and how we all related to that sentiment when we read the books

(You are on tumblr looking at a post about discworld made by a sad pokemon, don't pretend you're normal)

But witches are essential to the running of rural discworld society, functioning as doctors, priests and the welfare state all at the same time.

Pratchett is saying: even if society rejects you; it still needs you. You're even more useful to it because you don't fit in.

You've got a duty to carve out your place in it and make things better.

Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax of Discworld are the iconic old lady duo of all time, for many reasons. One of those reasons being that Nanny Ogg has had sex with countless men both within and outside marriage, and is still bragging about it as an old lady. And at the same time, Granny Weatherwax is explicitly a virgin (and possibly asexual) for all of her life and is proud of it. And that was both of their choices, and neither of them regret a thing. Sure, they make snide remarks at each other about it, but they make snide remarks at each other about everything. And as an extra bonus Magrat only sleeps with one man after she marries him and that is also considered perfectly alright. That's not even going into the fact that Nanny Ogg is both maternal and horny, that Granny Weatherwax is handsome but was never pretty, and that Magrat is idealistic and femme but also filled with violent rage. I just love them so much.
