the disc system @thediscsystem - Tumblr Blog

I'm realizing I should make a get to know the owner post, ah well here goes nothing.

Thediscsystem, as the name implies, is a did system that over the years has gained a massive special interest in discworld and therefore has developed many discworld fictives, the blog itself will likely not be effected too much by the system part but is mainly for posting about discworld, the wizards, and whatever comes to this horrid little mind of ours, do ask questions if you so desire and we will try our best to answer them.

I'm an adult by the way. I'm in college currently for Anthropology.

All in all, James is a cool name we use as well as he/him pronouns.

sexualizing that old man? Oh no I’m asexualizing that old man. Yeah he’s coming to the realization that his sexual activity was performative and compulsory, and he’s much happier now. I’m taking him to pride and he’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit.

the funniest moment in dungeon meshi is when marcille is having her nightmare and brings up her dead bird while also talking about her dead dad, saying “papa and pipi” and laios automatically assumes pipi is marcilles third nonbinary parent on top of her mom and dad

you can catch a bug in your hands and keep it safe in there as long as you never open your palms back up nothing can hurt it. 1 2 4 hours 8 hours 16 hours 2 days 1 week . just keep your hands clasped gentle around it and itll be safe forever, hands clasped throughout your day and careful while youre asleep even when they cramp keep them clasped. and when youre ready a few weeks or months or years from when you caught it you can open your hands up and see how safe your bug is

Thinking about how Good Omens tv show was presented as like... gift to Terry Pratchett. Sort of love letter to his work...Thanks for the colab....a fulfilled promise..."What Terry would have wanted." etc.

And then when I watched even just the first season and few episodes of the second... I felt like it was just too much Neil Gaiman. You know? With way too many scenes n ideas that I am damn sure were thought up/written by Pratchett missing... and with way too many scenes that I thought were Gaimans work there and amplified... Leaving the whole vibe so off, that I left the show be, even before all the things about Gaiman surfaced to the light...

and after that, even the idea of re-reading the book itself (previously much much much beloved) left a sour taste in my mouth...love for Terrys work on it isn't enough.... Gaimans acts overshadow all... once again...

OH THANK GODS IM NOT INSANE. This is my thought exactly when it comes to GO. I especially think a lot of the world building and B plot was cut from the show. Stuff that Discworld fans know Pratchett thrives in. Upon first read of Good Omens, I found the apocalypse plot outside of Aziraphale and Crowley to be just as investing. But in the show it's sort of shoved off and brought out of the spotlight in favor of, in a very Gaiman fashion, two individual characters.

One problem I have with Gaimans writing is that he can sometimes abandon his side plot or make somewhat shallow side characters that would otherwise be very investing. (See Sandman, American Gods, even Coraline to an extent.

PTerry thrives in the realm of side characters and rich world building. He makes every character feel like a full person, even if they started as a funny bit or a pun. (See all of Discworld but in particular the Death or Witches subseires) I feel like we lost a lot of that here in favor of tragic, frankly unfulfilled, relationship dynamics.

I have a deep distaste and hatred of Gaiman as a person right now. I do still enjoy a lot of his solo work however. I can admit that a bad person made good art. But I think its very important right now to also point out where that good art has flaws. Especially when that art is being called tribute to another (much better) artist and when those flaws are a little insulting to the other artist involved.

Anyways, thanks for coming to my TedTalk

I'm gonna be real with y'all. Neil Gaiman has fallen through the thin ice with me a while ago and so I have no mercy for the GO finale. I'm a Pratchett nerd all the way and I will be analyzing it from the perspective of whether or not it respects Pratchetts contributions.

So, rumor has it that season 3 was supposed to be a whole other book that had been fully written but sadly couldn't be published before Pratchett passed. So I'm baring that in mind.

The other thing is that I already thought season 2 was more of a Gaiman story than a Pratchett one. I dont know if anyone agrees with me on that, but its how I felt. I'm hoping season 3 feels more like both of them.

That is to say, all in all, I might be a bit of a judgey bitch about the finale. Mostly because I am impossibly angry at Gaiman and all I want is a proper Pratchett story.
