i will say one of the best results of actually practicing drawing on a regular basis apart from getting better at it (painfully slowly) is that it changes the way you see the world. i can't look at anything now without trying to break it down and translate it into art, if only in my imagination. my fingers really do itch whenever they aren't holding a pen.

That flag there btw is supposed to be the "Queer" flag. In this AU Tord isn't very keen on labels, but he does know that he's masc and that he likes whoever catches his fancy, regardless of gender. It took him a very VERY long time to accept this.

Rob Wilkins - In Bath talking about Terry Pratchett, A Stroke of the Pen
Rob Wilkins will be in Bath talking about, and signing the book, Terry Pratchett: A Stroke of the Pen
Date: Wed 22nd November 2023 Doors Open 7pm
Location: Topping & Company Booksellers of Bath, York Street, Bath, Somerset BA1 1NG
Rob Wilkins, Pratchett’s former assistant, friend, head of the Pratchett literary estate & author of Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes joins the team at the shop to talk on A Stroke of the Pen: the recently rediscovered short stories by Terry Pratchett.
The book is a truly unmissable, beautifully illustrated collection of unearthed stories from the pen of Sir Terry Pratchett: award-winning and bestselling author, and creator of the phenomenally successful Discworld series. It contains twenty early and once-lost short stories by one of the world's best loved authors, each accompanied by exquisite original woodcut illustrations.
These are rediscovered tales that Pratchett wrote under a pseudonym for newspapers during the 1970s and 1980s. Whilst none are set in the Discworld, they hint towards the world he would go on to create, containing all of his trademark wit, satirical wisdom and fantastic imagination.

We were absolutely delighted to speak to Drs Pat and Jan Harkin about Pat’s status as Terry Pratchett’s pathology advisor, the gargantuan collection of Discworld memorabilia, the research behind the soon-to-be-published A Stroke of the Pen, and many Pratchettean anecdotes.

Hes DONE and Im TIRED and hes a crusty, moldy bitch that fought me the entire way to being finished, BUT HES FINISHED ANYWAY AND LOOK HOW GORGEOUS HE CAME OUT
Fun fact, a lot of villains are going to be in this au just to fill out the cast, but Macaque is the only antagonist
He knows he's a problem, and is actually fully accepting of his death, he's just not willing to let go until he feels like Wukong has suffered as much as he has. Unfortunately... Wukong isnt the only spirit hes holding hostage by his actions
