“Use your gifts and your talents to greatest possible effect while you can. Spread joy wherever possible. Laugh at jokes. Tell jokes. Make puns and bugger the embuggerances. Read books. Read my books. You might like them. You might find something else you like even more than them. Look for these things in life.

Question authority. Champion good causes. Speak out against injustice. Do not tolerate bullies or bigots or racists or anti-intellectuals or the narrow-minded. Use your education to challenge them. Broaden their perspectives. Make the world you interface with a happier place.

These are your choices. Choices you have been fortunate to have been given, so don’t waste them while you have them. Don’t look back in years to come and wish you had grasped a fleeting opportunity. Grasp it now with both hands, Live. Strive. Love.”

from A Little Advice for Life taken from ‘Terry Pratchett: from birth to death, a writer.’

—Sir Terry Pratchett; April 28, 1948 – March 12, 2015

One of the greatest compliments I've ever received is that I resemble Sam Vimes.

Mind how you go.

Good Holiday Omens Day 23

Artist Credit: Makoyana on X

That certain night, the night we met...

There was magic abroad in the air...

There were angels dining at the Ritz...

And a nightingale sang

In Berkeley Square.

This one is especially dedicated to Sir Terry.

Raising a glass to the original ineffable duo, Neil and Terry, and the beautiful story they made 🥂

😈🖤🤍😇

The difference between Mature and Explicit rating on AO3 explained, courtesy of Eric by Terry Pratchett

Transcript:

Only the Librarian was cool. He was also swinging and hanging out. This was because he'd rigged up a few ropes and rings in one of the sub-basements of the Unseen University Library - the one where they kept the, um, erotic* books. In vats of crushed ice. And he was dreamily dangling in the chilly vapor above them.

Footnote

Just erotic. Nothing kinky. It's the difference between using a feather and using a chicken.

*shoots up from bed* HOLD UP!

So. Okay. Monstrous regiment, after climax. Polly is meeting with Vimes and he’s giving her the vibes of this chill, not particularly noble dude who actually cares about human lives and stuff. It was a great conversation and one of my fave moments from the book, as a certified Vimes lover. But.

There’s one thing I JUST NOW realised happened in it. When Polly’s worried about all the ‘people in the other room’ (Rust and such), Vimes gives her a smile and says to not be worried because ‘I was once a seargant too’. This is obviously hillarious and it implies that Vimes knows how to manipulate the people in power to do what he wants them to, which we already knew, he is a nuisance to the nobs. But.

This book is set AFTER NIGHT WATCH. He was a SEARGANT TOO. Seargant in a special, almost military-esque rank during a really shitty situation. And it wasn’t that long ago. Or was it thirty years ago? Does it matter if the memory is still fresh in his mind?

HE’S TALKING ABOUT KEEL. HE’S TALKING ABOUT BEING JOHN KEEL. I AM GOING TO GO INSANE OVER HERE. FUCK THAT’S A GOOD DETAIL TO INCLUDE.

I am once again tipping my hat to Sir Pratchett for his writing. Fuck these books. How am I supposed to ever think about anything ELSE?!?!

Pondering the relationship between Mightily Oats's "Everywhere I look I see something holy" and Constable Dorfl's "Either All Days Are Holy, Or None Are" and Brutha's "Here and now we are alive"

#discworld #dorfl #mightily oats #quite reverend #ceramic atheist #pterry #sir terry pratchett #holiness is what you make of it #and gods can come too if they promise to be cool #brutha #here and now we are alive #everywhere I look I see something holy #either all days are holy or none are

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

a comic I made of the good omens writing process...

This is a reference to something Neil said Terry would call (fax?) and yell at him while they were writing the book, and idk, it stuck in my head for reasons. Since all of you maggots are causing chaos on my cursed post, I was left with free time and I spent it drawing this.

Besides, I like to imagine both of them are creating the story in a way, even now. @neil-gaiman If you see this, Neil, I hope you like it :")

All of the early Watch books can be scaled thusly:

Carrot has Plot Armour and doesn’t know it, so genuinely believes the world works the same way for him as it does for everyone and all he has to do is remind them to be good people

Colon and Nobby can see and acknowledge Carrot’s Plot Armour (after a few experiences during which they are certain he’s about to die) and are completely certain that they don’t have Plot Armour and will face consequences

Colon and Nobby ABSOLUTELY also have Plot Armour but they’ve seen what happens to people without it enough to avoid testing it at all costs

Another Sir Terry Pratchett interview on the details of writing Good Omens with Neil Gaiman. (More about this process x).

Question about how he goes about collaborating with someone else (Neil Gaiman).

Terry: “You make them do what you want”.
