"Juliet, you shall go to the banquet," she said aloud, "and so shall I."
"But I think Mrs. Whitlow won't like that," said Juliet.
Something was still bubbling inside Glenda. It had started in Shatta and lasted all day yesterday and there was still some left today. "I don't care," she said.
Juliet giggled and looked around in case Mrs. Whitlow was hiding near the bus stop.
And I really don't care, Glenda thought. I don't care. It was like drawing a sword.

Hey, just so y’all know my ask box is open even though my muse page is still under construction. Feel free to send asks to my muses. Ask them about themselves, the world, pretty much anything! Or even send ask as other Discworld characters!

I love the way Terry Pratchett values people with all kinds of body shapes and of all ages, and even of all levels of intellect.
Sam Vimes (my beloved) is often acknowledged as "not the sharpest tool in the shed" but BY GODS does he get shit done and is the RIGHT shit.
Juliet Stollop is dumb as a box of rocks but it's her straightforward mind that says to (smart and clever) Trev Likely and Glenda Sugarbean "are you stupid? You're talking about Mr Nutt! Of course he isn't evil!"
Sybil Vimes is radically kind BECAUSE OF and NOT inspite of her size.
Junior Postman Groat is old and creaky and INVALUABLE to the post office!
Stanley Howler is young and a bit crazy but ALSO has his value recognised by Moist and given an important job, and he does it really well!
Sergeant Jackrum is massively fat and appears stupid but is so sharp that he saves the day and (redacted because I'd hate to spoil, even if the book isn't at all new).
I don't know it just makes me happy and wish more people read Discworld
PS I'd love it if others added their thoughts

I've just read one of your posts where you listed Discworld’s Best Autistic Power Moves and at the end you mentioned that you also wanted to do an ADHD edition. Not sure if you ever did one, if so I haven't found it - but my first thought was, Moist von Lipwig could make it into that list. I don't know that much about neurodiversity though so I can't say for sure if he might have ADHD. But I was recently thinking about Moist, can't even say anymore what exactly it was that I thought of aside of that the phrase "him and his ADHD brain" appeared in it and I found that phrasing quite funny first but it also started to sound really fitting.
The ADHD power moves post never materialised because I have ADHD and I forgot lmao. But yes you're absolutely right, Moist is definitely a candidate, I also have a very long anon ask sitting in my inbox about how Juliet Stollop has ADHD that I haven't reblogged yet purely because I STILL haven't finished Unseen Academicals (I know, it's been like a year now, it's ridiculous).
But if anyone wants to drop suggestions in my inbox please do so, I have my own ideas of course but my weak point here is that my memory of some of the books just isn't good enough so help would certainly be appreciated!

The truth of the matter was that Juliet would look good in a sack. Somehow, everything she wore fitted perfectly. Glenda, on the other hand, never found anything good in her size and indeed seldom found anything in her size. In theory, something should fit, but all she ever found was facts, which are so unbecoming.

Glenda was shamelessly based on @mysunfreckle  <3

First time I've drawn Discworld fanart. Starting with some of the characters from Unseen Academicals because I love it a lot.

Juliet’s version of cleanliness was next to godliness, which was to say it was erratic, past all understanding and was seldom seen.

[...] "Being busy takes your mind off things, that's what I always say."
"Yes, Glenda, that's what you always say," said Juliet.
An inflection caught Glenda's ear, and worried her a little. "Do I always say that? When?"
"Every day when you come in and put your apron on, Glenda."
"Mother used to say that," said Glenda, and tried to shake the thought out of her head. "And she was right, of course! Hard work never hurt anybody!" And she tried to unthink the treacherous thought: except her.

The last thing she wanted was to see her friend getting ideas in her head. There was such a lot of room in there for them to bounce around and do damage.
