IM SCREAMING

I'm going through Guards! Guards! Again and I never caught the line CMOT says like "by rights there should be a maiden chained to a stone, but the aunt said no."

Havelock......did......did you actually ask your aunt?? SURELY NOT

SIR!

Two Vimes family scenes that just popped into my head:

1) Sam and Sybil in the bathroom. Sybil sitting (probs half naked) on a chair in front of the mirror, towel around her shoulders as Sam helps with her fortnightly head shave. They’re both giggly and chatty, talking about their day. He enjoys running his hands over the stubble - it feels like velvet. 

2) The family is at some big do, and have Young Sam with them.  A nobleman makes a crack at Vimes for being such a hands on father. 

Sam ‘I’m actively undoing my generational trauma and working hard to make sure my son grows up 1) knowing his father and 2) knowing his father loves him” Vimes just looks up and says something along the lines of: 

“Bold of you to admit to being a slack father and husband in one fell swoop, and in front of so many people, but go off I guess”

insert well written and totally thought out post about how Vimes’ interactions with his adopted children - I mean the watch - remind me of the tough old men in my family who are all either farmers, rugby players, or both, and won’t tell you they love you but will tell you to put your boots on and come help him outside. And spends the afternoon taking you round the paddocks cheeking on the sheep, and gets annoyed if you show up without a hat or coat, and gets embarrassed if you catch him sneaking the dog a bikkie....here

Monstrous regiment was the first discworld book I ever read (lucky break for a queer teen!) and I spent most of it going 

‘Who the FUCK is this weird old man???’ 

And now I love him

I’m re-listening to the audio book of Guards! Guards! because I’m going to start working on that AU I mentioned a while back and just 

I’m so used to the more healthy Vimes that this book makes me so sadddddd

like 

You meet him when he’s gotten shitfaced after burying his friend
