#and a hard boiled egg

[notemily]

Hey since it's the Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May, here's my favorite reading order for the Discworld books, the point of which is to read everything you need to read before you read Night Watch, which is the best one:

Guards! Guards! (Cop stories, film noir, and Tolkien jokes)

Men at Arms (The City Watch diversifies, there's a gun, clowns are creepy)

Feet of Clay (Discworld version of the ethics of enslaving robots)

Jingo (War, racism, xenophobia) (But like, it's funny. There's a Paul Simon "You Can Call Me Al" joke.)

The Fifth Elephant (Dwarf politics, vampires & werewolves)

Small Gods (Religion and philosophy jokes) (This is also usually the one I recommend to people who just want ONE Discworld novel to start with)

Mort (Death takes an apprentice)

Reaper Man (Death takes a holiday, there are Consequences)

Soul Music (So many rock & roll jokes! Death's granddaughter shows up)

Hogfather (Christmas jokes, tooth fairy jokes, this is the one where the famous quote about the falling angel and the rising ape comes from)

Thief of Time (Someone breaks time)

Night Watch (...and there are Consequences)

(I basically stole this reading order from someone's website. Thank you, person with a website.)

At that point you will probably have a pretty good idea of whether or not you want to read all the other Discworld books. I highly recommend the Witches subseries, which have a reading order as well:

Equal Rites (Granny Weatherwax is sort of still cooking here, but she's recognizably herself)

Wyrd Sisters (Shakespeare jokes)

Witches Abroad (fairy tale jokes, also voodoo for some reason)

Lords and Ladies (this time it's the kind of fae you don't want to piss off)

Maskerade (Phantom of the Opera jokes)

Carpe Jugulum (Dracula/vampire jokes) (Damn, it's really too bad this was written like 7 years before Twilight came out, can you imagine)

Then there are a bunch of other books, some of which are (loosely) connected, and the Rincewind books, which IMO are the weakest link in the Discworld (although I do enjoy Interesting Times, because of the China jokes).

There were also like twelve other books published after Night Watch, and they're still great - Monstrous Regiment is probably my fave of those - but I do think Night Watch was the peak of the Discworld series. After so many relatively self-contained books and so much humor, I don't think anyone was quite expecting such a rich chapter of Vimes's story that also punches you right in the feels. It's so good, y'all.

As always, it's dangerous to go alone, so take the Annotated Pratchett File with you.

"Well, at least we can agree on Truth, Freedom, and Justice, yes?"

There was a chorus of nods. Everyone wanted those. They didn't cost anything.

Terry Pratchett, Night Watch

It took a bit of wandering about to find a lilac in bloom this year, but I got there in the end. At this time, in this place

Having friends who love the same character as you is so so so important, you know what else is underrated though? having a friend who absolutely HATES a character you have NEVER heard of. Beef with a man who is truly just some guy to you

#every day kris tells me about that man and his hard boiled egg shaped head ❤️ #ily kris keep hating ❤️ #also me with touga during the first arc. step aside tall man i am trying to see the lesbian rituals

there's going to be a doctor who renaissance someday soon and when you finally give 12 a chance you will come crawling to my door and say i was right all along. that weird old man does fuck so hard after all

#if you stopped watching because 'he's mean' so were all the others !!!! #the doctor has a mean shell around them and you have to boil them and peel them like a hard boiled egg and inside they are soft and so #so full of love. 12's whole arc is him wondering if he's to cruel too heartless and by the end of it he's just so unashamedly kind #he's been peeled. my little hard-boiled egg. #doctor who

⚔✊All the little angels, rise up, rise up...

This is a redraw of a very old piece, because Vimes deserves better than 2019-me's art skills.

That is not to say I look down on the original, I still love it, and it was one of my best drawings at the time. This redraw is a tribute to the Treacle Mine Road Revolution, to Pratchett's writing, to its impact on my life, to little-me, and to the passage of time.

Rise up!

There was a GIANT squirrel eating an egg, a hard boiled one I think?

it was inevitable as the tides, but it has come to my attention now that if i talk about how sexy Thrax was without specifying "thrax from cinematic masterpiece Osmosis Jones released in 2001" a lot of people get really confused bc they don't know who that is bc they're officially a generation removed from me at this point

rather than go "ugh kids these days" (like cmon don't be That Guy) or "ugh no i feel old" (I don't! guess I'm built different) i will ever so happily inform so a whole new batch of people can enjoy a something very unique and special to my heart that kicks fucking ass and hope they enjoy it too

and that a something is Osmosis Jones. especially the villain of Osmosis Jones. his name his Thrax. he is an lethal virus that is never fully identified (it's implied he is the Red Death, from the Edgar Allen Poe story, but real); other viruses don't recognize him, and he's so reliably stealthy and lethal he possibly hasn't even been properly discovered by science yet. he also only gets more lethal and dangerous as he infects new people, treating how fast he can kill his current host with fever as a PR he has to beat every time until he can cook your brain to death SO quickly after infection that he will go down in history as the single most dangerous illness known to humans.

so yeah take a look and appreciate what set the bar for my villainfucker sleeper code. they don't make em quite like this anymore. content warning for bright orange body horror. legit plays out like a scene in a horror movie.

stupid sexy virus

#osmosis jones #thrax #sporadic warbling #the other thing you should know about this movie if you never even heard of it #is while MOST of it is animated #the human the plot takes place inside of/framing device is live action and that part of the movie is like Eh... #bill murry eats an hard boiled egg off the ground after it was spat out of a zoo animal's mouth (this is how Thrax gets into his body btw) #he projectile vomits bad oysters at one point and there's a snapshot photo of this bc a kid had a camera at just the right time #you have to see physical/traditional FX zit pop in extreme close up like this movie is Gross #i love it #Youtube

What treats does cat Dust like? Can I give treats to Dust:D

Cat treats: <- in-universe salmon flavored cat treat (has a rough texture, like stale bread)

#dust sans #cat #food #food mention #he also likes hardboiled eggs #i should make a chart for what the little guys would do for hard boiled eggs #some of them aren't small but still #i love hardboiled eggs with a little bit of salt and also devilled eggs so much #cats can't have devilled eggs though so the chart would only be for hard boiled eggs #<- Killer would probably try to steal devilled eggs anyway (don't give him any he'll get a stomache) #i should've made the little shit an orange cat. would've fit him #queue
