Thanks @helenvader for reminding me about this scene in men at arms. Needed to reread a book before I’ve drawn this, but finally it’s ready;)
Unexpectedly Havelock has a new robe-design here. Lol.
P.S. First time I did something on Discworld that is apparently NOT VetVimes content 😅 Hope you like it)

Pratchett trying to shoehorn in a romantic partner for Drumknott at the end of Unseen Academicals is honest very funny in retrospect because the lad shows up two more times before the series concludes and is still romantically unattached which implies that despite Vetinari and Margolotta’s best efforts to play matchmaker something must’ve gone so wildly wrong that it made the two of them not want to engage with each other any further.
So because of this oversight, my headcanon is that when Drumknott and Miss Healstether had their little rendezvous they argued over who had the better filing method which ended in Vetinari and Margolotta having to physically separate and restrain them to keep them from killing each other. It’s the first and only time Vetinari ever had to reprimand Drumknott in his entire career all because he bit Margolotta’s librarian during the altercation. However, deep down he was more than a bit amused watching two mild mannered individuals throw hands over a ring binder so it was more of a halfhearted, “don’t do it again,” kind of scolding.

Just going to dump my notes file of favorite quotes from The Fifth Elephant and Wintersmith here, it's an odd pairing but what the heck.
"Sometimes," Vetinari said, testily, "it really does seem to me that the culture of cynicism in the Watch is... is..." "Insufficient?" said Vimes. -- Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
He enjoyed moments like these, the little bowl of time when the crime lay before him and he believed that the world was capable of being solved. -- Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
"I hate when you get too many clues, it makes it so damn hard to solve anything." -- Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
"Dere's guys in der road," said the troll. "Dey got halibuts." Vimes looked out of the windows. There were half a dozen guards, and they did indeed have halberds. -- Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
"Yes," mumbled Vimes, experiencing vertigo and seasickness in one tight green package. -- Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
It wasn't just that his brain was writing checks that his body couldn't cash. It had gone beyond that. Now his feet were borrowing money that his legs hadn't got, and his back muscles were looking for loose change under the sofa cushions. -- Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
"Where should I fire it, Mister Vimes?" "Good grief, not in here! This is an enclosed building!" "Only up until I pull dis trigger, sir." -- Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
Vimes sat and stared. His head felt like some vast sea that had just been parted by a prophet. Where there should have been activity, there was just bare sand and the occasional floundering fish. -- Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
"This I choose to do. If there is a price, this I choose to pay. If it is my death, then I choose to die. Where this takes me, there I choose to go. I choose. This I choose to do." -- Terry Pratchett, Wintersmith (Tiffany Aching is thirteen years old here)
You had to deal every day with people who were foolish and lazy and untruthful and downright unpleasant, and you could certainly end up thinking that the world would be considerably improved if you gave them a slap. But you didn't because, as Miss Tick had once explained: a) it would make the world a better place for only a very short time; b) it would then make the world a slightly worse place; and c) you're not supposed to be as stupid as they are. -- Terry Pratchett, Wintersmith
I mean the range from comic quips to unusual yet perfect metaphors to breathtaking insights is just. How.

hot take but i kind of think the guild of assassins and thieves are problematic. like one of them you could ruin someone’s life and the other one you’re literally KILLING people. i know rich people are delusional but i can’t believe they literally think the best school for their kids is murder college.

sam vimes is actually the character ever. when we meet him he's absolutely fucking WASTED in a gutter bc he's grieving a subordinate and a friend. he gets his shit together bc he's an adrenaline junkie. he told the patriarch of ankh morpork to shut up TWICE in like, five minutes (and vetinari let him). he annoyes rich people constantly and consistently. he has arrested two armies (INCLUDING his own city's). he survived being chased by werewolves. he's "vetinari's terrier". he recognizes ankh morpork streets by the feel of different COBBLES under his too thin boots. he's sober but keeps a half empty bottle in his drawer to keep himself in check. assassins have tried and FAILED to assassinate him countless times. he can make armor look rumpled. he HATES kings and gods and journalists and kings and stupid rich ppl. when he's angry he punches the wall outside of vetinari's office and vetinari LETS HIM. he's malewife. he's so so great.

I spent a lot of time working out what Vetinari is. Vox Populi and Vox Phantasma - now those are easy. But what is Vetinari the voice of? The voice of the city? not really. He's just the voice of Vetinari, really.

klaus screenshot paintovers but it's going postal!
ever since I first read the book I imagined an animated adaptation in a style similar to klaus, which also has a surprising number of parallels that made it easy to do this LOL
