Today is the 25th of May. An important day for all Terry Pratchett's enthusiasts. An important day in the life of Samuel Vimes, a man from whom you might learn a couple of interesting things.

"That's the way it was. Privilege, which just means 'private law.' Two types of people laugh at the law; those that break it and those that make it."

"You took an oath to uphold the law and defend the citizens without fear or favor," said Vimes. "And to protect the innocent. That's all they put in. Maybe they thought those were the important things. Nothing in there about orders, even from me. You're an officer of the law, not a soldier of the government."

"You realized that people like Carcer were not mad. They were incredibily sane. They were simply men without a shield. They'd looked at the world and realized that all the rules didn't have to apply to them, not if they didn't want them to. They weren't fooled by all the little stories. They shook hands with the beast."

"Vimes had spent his life on the streets, and had met decent men and fools and people who’d steal a penny from a blind beggar and people who performed silent miracles or desperate crimes every day behind the grubby windows of little houses, but he’d never met The People. People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people."

Night Watch, Terry Pratchett

I lost the post but

I was just trying to figure out what the pretty purple flowers were for.

Anyway if someone has a suggestion on where to start that'd be great

Edit:

I could not get through The Color of Magic! Learning that I don't have to read it to read disc world is a good thing!

#seriously after i tried 3 times to listen to the audiobook i finally got a hold of bc my library doesnt have shit #i kinda gave up bc my brain could not absorb it #i need something more simple #ive read good omens and idk if that counts #25th of may #terry pratchett #disc world #the color of magic #may 2023

Having read Night Watch for the second time, I realised that I’ve basically never seen any art of Madam Meserole (I don’t know how to spell it). Maybe I just don’t remember seeing any, but I kinda feel like she’s a cool character and deserves more fanart, even though she’s more in the background. I don’t know though. I’m just not very good at drawing characters the way I picture them… Maybe I’ll post some on the 25th.

Still not ovet the fact that Havelock Vetinari wear the lilac every year e nobody ask him why.

And now I feel sorry for him, because I realized how he must feels knowing that he will always be an outsider.

“'But…well, Reg, tomorrow the sun will come up again, and I’m pretty sure that whatever happens we won’t have found Freedom, and there won’t be a whole lot of Justice, and I’m damn sure we won’t have found Truth. But it’s just possible that I might get a hard-boiled egg.’”
