Tried and failed to make a coherent post about this but the Granny Weatherwax moment that lives with me forever that I never see quoted is the “what has he ever done to me, that I should hurt him so”

#the context is a pregnant woman gets kicked by a horse and she can only save one #and afterward the midwife is disapproving bc she thinks she should've let the husband choose #a lot of people think Granny Weatherwax is proud or gives herself airs or thinks she's better and more important than other people #and they're not necessarily Wrong #but she doesn't see taking these choices out of people's hands as a privilege #she sees it as a terrible burden #and a lot of her pov books are her just barely managing to stay standing under the weight of them #discworld #perpetual ladies night 2k22 #midwife: you should've let this man choose to save either his wife or his infant son #granny weatherwax: that would be cruel and horrible. I will do the cruel and horrible thing #I will be the wicked witch so you don't have to be #perpetual perpetual ladies night #why this
