The girls still don't fully understand what 'theatre' is. But everyone says they're very good at playing these parts.

Tonker is WLW and uses she/her pronouns!

Decided to let myself do some fan art pride shirts too.

The one shirt may be the most character specific one I've done yet.

Some more nonsense with the gals from the 10th.

You know who could be a good casting choice for Magda if they made a movie of Monstrous Regiment? Bella Ramsey.

Maybe they’d be better for the role in a few years (I tend to think of Tilda and Magda as being some years older than Polly, Shufti, Wazzer, and Igorina), and they’d need to either dye and cut their hair or wear a wig, but I bet they’d be able to pull it off.

In The Last of Us, Bella Ramsey plays Ellie, and in playing Ellie they sure have the brusque and often uncouth manner down, really aren’t great at following orders that they don’t agree with, possess somewhat similar aggression, and a love of weaponry (whether they know how to use it or not).

I like to think that Magda and Tilda went to Ankh-Morpork, and got involved with the Sunshine Sanctuary for Sick Dragons.

There would be some difficulties and tension at first:

Tilda would love the sanctuary, but the Sanctuary would probably fear that she was a risk factor.

Magda would worry about Tilda's safety, and Tilda might be annoyed by Magda's concerned caution.

Magda would love the dragons, but dislike the Sanctuary's attitude towards Tilda.

But I also think that they'd figure it out in the end. Magda would be a big help at the sanctuary and understand the defensive dragons, and might be able to use that as a sort of therapy. She might even become the go-to when dragons are about to fight. She'd worry about Tilda and the fire, but calm down once she realized that at least now Tilda had armor to protect her from burns, was in a relatively fire-proofed space, and surrounded by people who were used to putting out fires. Tilda would adore the dragons and marvel at their flames. She'd probably be especially good with the slower elderly dragons, which the Sanctuary would appreciate as most people fawned over the young ones instead, and they'd appreciate having someone around who wasn't afraid of fire.

As the girls/women from the Sanctuary come and go from Sybil and Vimes's house all the time, Vimes would recognize them, but before he would have a chance to say anything, Sybil would introduce them (possibly with different names) and praise their work at the sanctuary. Vimes would be sure to keep an eye on them, but would also be happy that Sybil was happy, and pretend (to their relief) that he'd never seen them before.

Magda might even join the Watch at some point.

Somehow Sybil would find out about Tilda's desire of eating chocolate in a dark room where the world is a different place and would take them to the Ankh-Morpork Opera House one night. After that, she'd give them tickets occasionally as a secret way of giving them a date night (she would have recognized them as a couple in no time at all) by claiming that she had been planning to go with Sam, but he's too caught up at work to go or he's been working so hard lately, he really does need a restful night off, and that it would be such a shame if the tickets went to waste, so you might as well take them...

I like to think that they were safe, happy, and found people that they could trust. That every new day was a great big fish.
