They say that there can never be two snowflakes that are exactly alike, but has anyone checked lately?

Terry Pratchett, Wintersmith

[stargazingdustbunny]

Terry Pratchett, repeatedly: This character is a representation of an abstract concept that has been anthropomorphized to help humans understand the concept. They are immortal and soulless and cannot be made human even with enough iron to make a nail. And they cannot become human enough to truly understand love.

Me: But I want to marry the Wintersmith 😔💔

On his chair, the yellow slit of Greebo’s left eye opened lazily.

“Get down, You,” said Granny, lifting the kitten off her head and putting it on the floor.

...

Greebo’s eye opened all the way, and he began to growl softly.

“You sure you know what you’re doing, Esme?” said Nanny Ogg, reaching for a cushion to throw. “He’s very protective of his territory.” You, the kitten, sat on the floor and washed her ears. Then, as Greebo got to his feet, she fixed him with an innocent little stare and took a flying leap onto his nose, landing on it with all her claws out.

“So is she,” said Granny Weatherwax, as Greebo erupted from the chair and hurtled around the room before disappearing into the kitchen. - Terry Pratchett, Wintersmith

Behind her looms Greebo, black furry hide covered in scars, back arched, mouth open to show menacing fangs, about to bite her.)

5 things Tiffany Aching taught me:

1. A little common sense goes a long way

2. There are some times when you need to be the level-headed moderator but other times when you need to let your emotions loose

3. It’s ok to be possessive and have objects that help define you 

4. You can be open to love without explicitly looking for it

5. A frying pan and violent Scottish smurfs is all you need to defy a powerful monarch

Are we just going to ignore the fact that in Night Watch, Vetinari felt that if someone in a position of power has a cat, it should be a sleek white one, and then in Wintersmith Tiffany gives Granny Weatherwax a white cat.
