This is one of my favorite little characters from The Amazing Maurice book. Dangerous Beans is the rat Clan’s much-needed philosopher, finding and “disarming” dangerous ideas for the group.
'No, I will not join you, liar in the dark. I prefer our way. We are silly and weak, sometimes. But together we are strong. You have plans for rats? Well, I have dreams for them.'
The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents, Terry Pratchett
Look, this is an amazing moment of Dangerous Beans's arc. He was at the lowest point of his journey- he threw away/lost the picture book that had, before this, guided him. Then he's confronted by the utterly terrifying rat king, Spider. Spider appeals to his unique mind, to his ideas, right when he's at his lowest point- a classic "we can rule together". Dangerous Beans follows everything he laid out. He talks Spider into a corner, to prove that it thinks only of revenge, not of rebuilding. Then he pulls out this ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE of a speech. AAAHHHHHH
I was able to pick up the new babies a couple days early. Their names are from a book The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents. Dangerous Beans is the brown dumbo, Sardines is the silver one, and Darktan is the black one. They are tiny balls of energy zipping around everywhere. I think Sardines is going to be easily trained for camera work. I'm excited for an outgoing rat.
Discworld fans, grab your wizard staffs with a kn— —…. actually please don’t grab those. But VOTE FOR DANGEROUS BEANS IN THE RAT POLL. He needs us! Think of his little wobbly pink nose! Vote!

Yesterday someone very kindly and earnestly suggested that if I like Sean Bean I should definitely check out Sharpe, it's like his defining role, and I sincerely hope that person is having a really good day, just so full of love and warmth and good things
