I have a cursed thrift store DVD of Pan's Labyrinth that won't play anything past just after she escapes the pale man and crashes VLC media player at that point

When I say "godspeed" (I say it a lot) I like to imagine I'm a member of a futurism religion that worships velocity above all else. Like its the standard well-wishing in my culture. Speedliness is next to godliness. Someday we'll catch him! And the closer we get the more he loves us

Angel eyes rendering practice

[godfavoritedaughter]

Angel Eyes is the character of all time. He's bad. He is ambiguous. He's good. He is a supernatural entity that personifies institutional cruelty against people in vulnerable situations. He's just a guy doing some shit. He is calculating and cold. He giggles all the time and has a lot of fun. He is always one step ahead. He is fooled. He is a bounty hunter. He is a soldier. He works alone. He has a bunch of henchmen. He is the villain. He is the one who personally killed the fewest people in the entire movie. He struck a woman like a dirty coward. He gave a bottle of liquor to comfort a dying man. He is Mortimer's twin. He has no ties to anyone. He is confident. He is careless. He is terrifying. He feared Blondie. His Italian name is "Sentenza"—judgment. Its introduction is like a horror movie. He is the one who treats Blondie the best. Blondie hates him more than he hates Tuco. He knew about the treasure the whole time. He died a pathetic death without ever seeing the fortune. The fandom hates him. The fandom admits how well-written he is. He was just watching the toxic Yaoi between Blondie and Tuco. He wanted to be part of the team in some way. He is the devil on Tuco's shoulder. He didn't care about him. He is a liar. He was the most honest one. He had a very clear work ethic. He was completely crazy. Lee's best-known role.

my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government

havelock is the most perfect first name for vetinari actually

[trambrosia]

What do you like about it? I've always felt like there's something I don't get

[animate-mush]

I know "Vetinari" is a play on "Medici" but I don't know the specific joke being made with Havelock. Have Lock? Have a lock? It seems like there should be something there but I don't know what it is.

That said I agree with OP that it does seem to fit him on the level of vibes/mouthfeel - it's got that old timey feel while not being a name anyone else has, and the consonants have like... very clean lines to them. (Contrast "Mustrum" which is equally old timey but is nothing but sonorants - it sounds like a noise you would make into your mustache, you know?)

Who's Václav Havel? I could see something maybe with clav ~ key ~ lock?? But that might be a stretch. Most of Pratchett's puns are purely phonetic - Dunmanifestin or Djelibeybi or Didjabringabeeralong,although Cassanunda has a bit of a semantic component as well, and there are of course the Selachiis and the Venturis, which ate a translation pun

[n3cropants]

i've always figured there's no particular reference or gag, it's just an unusual name that pterry wanted to use. kinda like how some discworld characters like angua have completely made-up names

although i kinda feel like it makes him sort of spiritual siblings with sherlock holmes

but it goes nicely with his surname cuz it adds some internal alliteration, and it feels like an unusual name without being overly showy, and it's sort of unexpected cuz honestly you'd have expected something medici-related, right? i like the combo of a northern european first name & italian-esque pun surname

[n3cropants]

actually i have a theory now about the name "havelock" i think it hasn't got any particularly relevant or punny relationship with vetinari exactly i just think pterry had heard of these things

I made a Havelock....and you can too — Victoria-Esquimalt Military Re-enactors Association

  Perhaps most commonly associated with the French Foreign Legion, thanks to countless books and movies depicting the Legionnaires in North

it's allegedly named after Major-General Sir Henry Havelock, maybe (oh hey he looks a lot like Paul Kidby's portrait of Downey doesn't he?)

Henry Havelock - Wikipedia

which goes along with that gag in Monstrous Regiment about Lieutenant Blouse who eventually gets some species of glove named after him etc and that all great and/or mediocre military figures end up with some article of clothing named after them (see also wellington, cardigan, raglan, etc)

and i don't think vetinari has anything in particular to do with all that (not at all the military type as he points out in jingo) but it does feel like it evokes about the right tier of poshness... anyway i just feel like it's probably a name pterry just kinda had in his back pocket in connection with the gag about clothes named after people, and it happened to have the right vibes for the character

[trifoliate-undergrowth]

There's also this, which is what I think of when I hear the name
