Sooo I decided to give it another take. You guys seem to not feel a disgust towards my colouring or shapes or my Vimes, so this is most likely me giving back all the fun I got from reading your tags and reblogs and I am very, very thankful and this is my way

Part one

Part two

Even shorn of her layers of protective clothing, Lady Sybil Ramkin was still toweringly big. When she spoke, every word was like a hearty slap on the back and clanged with the aristocratic self-assurance of the totally well-bred. The vowel sounds alone would have cut teak. She had a mass of chestnut hair; a wig Vimes learned later. No-one who had much to do with dragons kept their own hair for long.

In the night’s damp cloak assassins assassinated, thieves thieved, hussies hustled and so on. And drunken Captain Vimes of the Night Watch staggered slowly down the street, folded gently into the gutter outside the Watch House and lay there while above him strange letters made out of light sizzled in the damp and changed colour.

“The city was a... was a... was a... wossname... thing. Woman. That's what it was. Woman. Roaring, ancient, centuries-old. Strung you along… let you fall in uh… thingy… love with her. Then kicked you in ya thingy… in ya mouth… tongue… tonsils… teeth! That’s what it… she… did. She was ah… thing… you know… lady… dog… puppy… hen… bitch. And then you hated her and just when you thought you’d got her…. it… out of your… yeah… whatever… then she’d open her great booming rotten heart to you… caught you off bal- bal- bal…ah… thing… -ance… that’s it… yeah. Never knew where you stood… lay. Only thing you were sure of… you couldn’t let her go… because… because… she was yours… all you had… even in her gutters.”

-Samuel Vimes's entrance scene in Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards!

.....

IT'S SO GOOD. Vimes being heartbroken and maudlin over his beloved city.

Sometimes I feel good and then I remember that then it arose and struck Vimes that, in her own special category, she was quite beautiful; this was the category of all the women, in his entire life, who had ever thought he was worth smiling at. She couldn't do worse, but then, he couldn't do better. So maybe it balanced out. She wasn't getting any younger but then, who was? And she had style and money and common-sense and self-assurance and all the things that he didn't, and she had opened her heart, and if you let her she could engulf you; the woman was a city.

This image Captain Vimes was so memorable that I had to draw it.

Despite his deep distrust of magic, he quite liked the wizards. They didn't cause trouble. At least, they didn't cause his kind of trouble. True, occasionally they fractured the time/space continuum or took the canoe of reality too close to the white waters of chaos, but they never broke the actual law.

Sam Vimes is Disco-coded.

I’ve been re-reading “guards! Guards!” and I have thoughts.

Serial alcoholic

Prone to forgetting important things

Regularly puts his foot in his mouth

Elicits a strange mixture of pity and respect from his peers

Is fully aware most of this is self inflicted

Somehow still an incredibly competent officer when the chips are down.

This man is one divorce away from crashing his car into the river.

I am alright at sketching simple figures and I hope no one is going to throw up because of my colouring skill

She smiled at him.

And then it arose and struck Vimes that, in her own special category, she was quite beautiful; this was the category of all the women, in his entire life, who has ever thought he was worth smiling at. She couldn't do worse, but then, he couldn't do better. So maybe it balanced out. She wasn't getting any younger but then, who was? And she had style and money and common-sense and self-assurance and all the things that he didn't, and she had opened her heart, and if you let her she could engulf you; the woman was a city.

And eventually, under siege, you did what Ankh-Morpork had always done - unbar the gates, let the conquerors in, and make them your own.

Something Vimes had learned as a young guard drifted up from memory; if you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you in fear, they want you to know you're going to die. So they'll talk. They'll gloat. They'll watch you squirm. They'll put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar. So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word.
