Have you read Gideon Defoe’s “The Pirates!” series? They have a running joke about comparing people to fonts and I can’t not associate this with that

I haven't but anything that has running jokes involving fonts sounds right up my alley so I'm gonna try and find it thank you

I am so embarrassingly in love with all the mains. Especially Poe. *.*

I gotta be real with you: I was not prepared for Poe. I was prepared for Finn and Rey. I saw all the gifsets. I was like “they’re going to be so cute” and they were, indeed, so cute. But I WASN’T PREPARED FOR POE and his floofy hair and his smiley charm. I now understand that text post that’s like “the entire resistence hates poe (because he’s so effortlessly charming)”.  I think I like them all equally but I’m so ???? how??

tmohzone replied to your post “what’s with that thing where Mulder chews Scully out for not telling...”

every time I watch X-Files like. at LEAST half of my commentary is just yelling at Mulder for stuff like this. WHY

it's SO FRUSTRATING and what really gets me is that the narrative always seems to come up on his side - so far, anyway, I'm only just now finishing season 4 and I've never watched it before. Anyway, Scully usually seems to end up in the wrong, which to me has the effective of making his behavior seem justified which it's nOT IT'S A CHARACTER FLAW. A good and consistently written character flaw, so far? but one that I would like to see pointed out more. Maybe it's just because I've been watching it so slowly and haven't gotten through it all the way idk. I like him very much but I find this very vexing.

If you're still taking AUs, Napoleonic/Regency era Discworld?

I’m sitting here oscillating between MY TIME TO SHINE HAS FRICKIN COME and how do I prevent this from turning, specifically, into a jsmn discworld AU which I shall address by making this mundane regency AU

the thing is that a lot of things map so well, like the establishment of a police force - Vimes is Discworld’s answer to Sir Robert Peel on the police front, sort of, down to “sammies” - so, idk, I guess what I’m saying is, Vimes in the middle of Regency London setting up a police force. Is Vetinari the Prime Minister? I don’t know. This is fascinating to think about, because Vimes accepting female police officers in, like, 1820.

The witches have gotta be in Lancashire. I would imagine they are midwives; Magrat marries the newly-enriched heir to the grand country house a few miles from the village and it’s all very romance novel, or so she feels, which is the important thing, right?

Okay so. UU. Obviously UU is still a university, of the mundane variety, Ponder is an inventor and keeps accidentally initiating pre-steampunk-style hijinks involving suspiciously competent counting machines and escaped frogs. I know I said mundane AU but Ponder makes everything weird.

THIS BRINGS US TO RINCEWIND because of course it does. Rincewind is An Explorer, but accidentally. Keeps getting sent out on research business for the university and ending up in distant places. Once he went on a hot air balloon, also by accident. He is very upset about this.

NIGHT WATCH you’re the night watch queen I have to do something with night watch. question: is it feasible for Vimes to track Carcer all the way to Paris and get involved in the June Rebellion? That would lack the resonances with his past, though it would convey the sense of distance, idk.

When I was 13 and looking for a new fantasy series to read, my mom mentioned that she'd heard good things about Discworld, so we went to the used book store and grabbed the first one we saw. It was Equal Rites and it was pretty enjoyable, but I didn't think about it much until I found Hogfather while roaming around the bookstore my mom managed at the time. I started reading it in the store, couldn't put it down, and haven't looked back since.

♔ Rosie/Sandra

Sandra surveys Rosie, who is reclining on their bed and wearing her, Sandra’s, nightgown. Again.

“Let me guess. No clean laundry?”

Rosie looks vaguely guilty. “These things take time. I’m a busy woman. Things to do.”

“You were wearing a fresh dress today, though.”

There’s a long pause. “It’s just comfortable,” says Rosie finally, folding her arms. “Much more comfortable than any of mine. I don’t know how you do it.”

“I could make you your own,” Sandra says.

“But then it wouldn’t smell like you,” says Rosie.

Sandra curls up beside her and pulls her close. “I’ll make myself another, then,” she says, “So I’ll have a spare when you steal mine.”

Rosie sighs and runs her hands through Sandra’s hair. “Good,” she says sleepily. “That’s perfect.”

Could you clarify this month's challenge? I'm not totally sure what we're supposed to draw.

Neither am I, honestly. @pencilhyphenmonkey might have a better answer for you. My best guess is that it’s Draw Discworld Characters Wearing Socks.
