you can throw all the “dark and handsome brooding” character you want at me but nothing will ever top the peak and i mean PEAK characterization of that trope in monstrous regiment, where the suave and ✨mysterious✨ vampire spends only the beginning of the book seeming put-together before he plummets deep into caffeine withdrawal, starts vividly hallucinating and is functionally useless for the rest of the plot while ambushes and infiltration plans are going on. 10/10.

Discworld update: finished Monstrous Regiment; escaped with my gender intact. (though i was already in the zone.) next up i'm finally getting Moist with it, wish me luck
EDIT: looking back on it i have indeed left out an R in "monstrous." but i think it's true to form so i'm keeping it

It's *not* tearing your throats out that doesn’t come easily to me. Please don’t make it any harder.

Okay. Okay. I once again disregarded people’s opinions on a Pratchett book as ‘too good to be true’ and then I ate my fucking words upon actually finishing said book. Monstrous Regiment. Fucking hell. I will most likely post more thoughts tomorow, but it was. So good. Like. Unbearably good. Even better after having read the entire watch series and knowing of the characters from The Truth. Anyways. I did not know Vimes was in this book as much as he was. That, as a Vimes enthusiast, was a lovely surprise.
Also, Sergant Jackrum is one of my new favourite characters. Holy fuck. He’s top tier. Right up there with Vimes, Vetinari, Sybil and Angua. Slightly above Carrot, even.
Polly is a girlboss and I think a kiss would last longer if it was shared with Maladict, perhaps. Lmao- Yea I am obsessed with this book. I love me a good war story, so this, plus a trans narative, plus sir Pratchett’s astoundingly real humor (and a lot of Vimes content) was a straight bullseye into my soft spot.
I have just finished it and I want to read it again. Unreal.
