Calling all Discworlders.

wellplayed-tp: Somebody fetch me a wizard, we need to perform the rite of AshkEnte. I have questions that need answering about 2016.

great i’m tearing up because someone just mentioned ‘mildred easy’. EXCUSE ME BUT THIS BOOK IS PAIN

Which do you think is the better berserker scene in Discworld canon, Sam Vimes howling “THAT!!! IS!! NOT!!! MY!!!! COW!!!!” in Thud! or Dorfl’s methodical rampage through Ankh-Morpork following his being given free will?

thebibliosphere: You…you want me to pick between Sam Vimes’ love for his son, and Dorfl’s emancipation from being a Thing into a Person? *narrows eyes* What kind of monster are you… (Some minor spoilers ahead) In all honesty I don’t think I can choose. Sam Vimes and his love for his family, his utter devotion…

:(((((( the golem king :((((( seriously this book is made of sadness :(((( well, that and cheery littlebottom, cheery and angua’s friendship, FORENSIC SCIENCE – or an approximation of thereof, cut he some slack it’s just beginning – another thing that’s beginning in this book is THE DWARF’0S GENDER LIBERATION MOVEMENT so yeah this book…

“No, a golem knows only one thing that keeps you alive. It’s the words in your head’ One: oh my god, Dorfl, trying to keep Father Tubelcek alive the only way they can think of (and maybe even at least suspected it didn’t work like that for humans BUT STILL.) Two: golems :(((( Three: THE…

Seriously I shouldn’t get sad because Dorfl, in the midst of ‘confessing’ ‘everything’ accidentally drop a piece of matchstick! I already why he’s the one here!!! I’m aware of the circumstances STOP STABBING ME IN THE HEART

also if you pay attention candles and candlelight are mentioned very frequently, it’s delightful – ….should that be considered a pun? unintended anyway – to see. for example, in the short secion where Vetinari is writing and reflecting on ‘ the tincture of night’ candlelight is mentioned twice. in like, 500 words, maybe? I like…

You know, as much as it’s as funny as any other Discworld book, I can’t help but find Feet of Clay so incredibly sad, especially on re-reads when you have all the pieces of the mystery. Seriously any mention of golems, of Dorfl, all the hints/clues about what’s going on behind the scenes just makes…

xserpx: lullabyknell: Can I just say something that I really love about Terry Pratchett’s Guards! Guards! series? I’m really, really grateful for everything those books taught me about prejudice and justice and every person’s responsibility to Suck it Up, Stick it Out, and Be A Decent Human Being. Even if it’s not fun or pretty,…

for those unaware feet of clay is possibly my favorite discworld book
