Walked into a bar and saw this

Edit: After 2k notes I figured I'd add some backstory! Our public library does an annual bar crawl fundraiser where people dress up and get book themed drinks all across main street. I literally did walk into this bar, spotted this amazing wizard, dropped everything to take this [cropped] photo. Later, I asked who they were dressed as. I've yet to read any Terry Pratchett outside of Good Omens. Planning to though!

Also, I completely agree with some of the tags that this needs to be a painting and I fully intend on trying! Although, I'm very much a novice.

No disrespect but I cannot handle the official art with Rincewind depicted as a grey haired old wizard. Every bone in my body knows this guy is a 30-40 year old walking disaster who got kicked out of college and wanders the planet against his will and is stuck in the middle of his life making things up as he goes along (affectionate).

The Muppets in The Color of Magic

My dream came real today.

I was at ottawa comiccon, and I noticed a wizard, all in red. And he had a scraggily hat. And I hoped. I hoped for Rincewind. And then he turned some more, and he had a fuzzy orangy brown thing on his back. Impossibility. It was an orang-utan. And my hope turned real when he turned to face me, and I read the word "wizzard" across his hat.

It was Rincewind, in the flesh, with the librarian!! I gasped. I choked up. I ran.

I said "excuse me, Rincewind?"

And Rincewind turned around, a broad grin on his face. And in that moment the disc was real, and we were flying through space on a disc on the back of four giant elephants riding on the back of the great a'tuin the space turtle. And my heart was so impossibly, dangerously full, that I forgot how to talk.

I managed, "Can we take cameras?" And waved my cellphone at him. And Rincewind replied to me, "Oh yes, of course! Nobody ever knows who I am!"

A lovely gentleman volunteered to take our picture. I got three pictures with Rincewind. And I said thank you and went back to sit down, re-entered the round world.

I texted everyone in all caps "I JUST MET RINCEWIND!!!" And then I posted on Facebook and bluesky. I met an actor i love today. I posted about him once. I posted about Rincewind 7 times since I met him. What's an actor to a dream, to an impossibility? My hands are still shaking.
