Imagine just how funny a Discworld's take on NFT would be. Imagine CMOT Dibbler selling badly-drawn pictures of the Librarian via the clacks.

Inktober day 2 - The Librarian “Oook!”

I wholeheartedly believe the Librarian, of Discworld fame, would survive, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on exactly what bs would occur during his stay, assuming he stayed long enough for anything more than the opening moves, rather than finding the castle's library and fucking off through L-space

The Librarian of Unseen University in Ankh Morpork, is not going to put up with any of this. Vampires are such a human sort of worry - he left all that behind long ago. He's just here to confiscate Dracula's overdue Bradshaw's Guide, deduct the appropriate fines from the Hoard, and, as you say, fuck off through L-space. (Dracula locks him in the library and he's just gone). There aren't even any bananas here - ook to that.

And if Dracula does happen to let slip the M-word, well, he's got that subhuman strength, he's got the reach with those arms (which will also quite handily swing him on out of the castle), he's even got scarier teeth than Dracula. As both a wizard and an ape, he is unlikely to be affected by an Involuntary Horniness Field or other mesmeric effects. Again, more human nonsense.

The only real upshot of this interlude is that Dracula decides that the ideal form in which to conduct a lot of murders is not that of a bat or of a wolf but, to the delight of Poe fans everywhere, and Orangatan

The Librarian can absolutely survive Castle Dracula. The Horrors are for people without opposable toes.

Next stop is hitting a certain Miss Murray with sanctions for violating causality (and therefore library rules) with that time portal of hers..

Library tour - Pratchett and Gaiman focused with some honourable mentions

Of course I've constantly had full bookshelves since I was a child, but I'd always wanted a room I could properly call a library. The house my husband and I now live in has 3 bedrooms, so as we're child free we've each taken one of the spare rooms to do with as we wish.

The majority of the furniture you see is thrifted (aside from the bookcases) and it was self decorated with a lot of cut corners-for example I decided instead of proper flooring it would be cheaper just to pull up the carpet and varnish the actual boards.

I spend more time in here than I do in our living room 😁

Gaiman stuff. Sandman alongside some Alan Moore, Preacher, Hellblazer, my signed copy of The Crow and one volume of Sin City. Two copies each of Ocean (one illustrated), and American Gods (original and authors preferred text). And of course one of my copies of Good Omens. Plus you can see the novelisation of Pan's Labyrinth sitting next to Neverwhere. Del Toro is another favourite fantasist of mine.

Pratchett stuff. Complete Discworld of course, and I'm slowly increasing my non Discworld Pratchett collection, my second copy of GO, the Paul Kidby illustrated edition (makes sense to have one living with the Gaiman books and the other with Pratchett). Soul Music and Hogfather are both signed, I met Pterry when I was 14 on the Hogfather signing tour.

The crocheted toy was actually from a pattern for a mimic I made (pattern by Complicated Knots on YouTube), but it's luggage-y enough that I put it with the Discworld books, Rob Wilkins' biography of Pterry, and a Librarian to look after everything, make sure the books don't get rowdy and take care of the L-space. I've had him since I was 18.

Specifically Good Omens stuff: a pair of felt plushies a friend made for me after S1 was released (@diedarlingsuk on Instagram), a pair of drawings I bought from a very talented 15 year old artist at a tiny comic con also after S1, (I'd credit her but I've no idea of her name or if she has an online presence), the script book, the TV companion, and an art book by the wonderful @mistysblueboxstuff, who I'm sure most of the fandom know and love. This contains all her GO art from S1 and S2.

Honourable mention stuff - I put above that I love Del Toro, so I've got to share the Angel of Death from Hellboy 2 as its one of my favourite things in this room. And its an angel, so that's kinda linked.

Made for me by another friend from clay on a doll's body and the wings on wire frames (@sids_workshop on Instagram).

Finally the Complete William Blake illuminated works, a guidebook to a Blake exhibition I went to, and Gustav Dore illustrated copies of Dante, Milton, Coleridge, Tennyson and Poe. I am a huge poetry nerd, and I think many GO fans would find a lot to interest them in some of these, particularly Blake and Milton.

I could go on, there's tons of other stuff I'd like to include but this post is fairly massive already and I wanted to try and stick to my theme.

Round 3: Match 9 of 16

Why they deserve to be the ultimate wizard according to YOU:

Erin Ruunaser:

Vanquished (so far): Rin Tohsaka, Quick Ben

"He's full of hubris, an iconic part of many wizards!"

"Erin is a scientist-wizard of the highest calibur. He got posessed by the satan figure of a religion in his world and so far refuses to entertain the notion that said satan figure's opposite number could be real because there's no scientific evidence for it."

"erin is pathetic and way too used to winning and that's why i think he should win again thanks for listening"

The Librarian:

Vanquished (so far): Eskarina Smith, Rincewind [my beloved]

“The librarian is properly iconic"

"OOK"

“He used to be a wizard, then got turned into an orangutan. It's a whole thing, but he's the best!!"

I just think it’s fun that the Librarian is one of the longest-running characters in the Discworld series, right alongside Rincewind.  He was in The Colour of Magic!  He appears in so many books, too, in a few of the different book-arcs and even the standalones!

But at the same time, I also think it’s hilarious that the Librarian was turned into an orangutan within the timespan the series covers.  It happened during The Light Fantastic.  And yet by the time of Sourcery and Guards! Guards!, just a few books later, people are just like ‘oh that’s the Librarian.’  It’s not just wizards who accept this as mundane reality, even!  The Librarian goes out on the town regularly enough that many regular Ankh-Morpork citizens have already learned the golden rule which is Don’t Call the Librarian a Monkey, not too long after his transformation!

This is so realistic to human nature tbh, and yet still wild to think about.

#kidk says stuff #discworld #terry pratchett #gnu terry pratchett #like the librarian even has a cameo in SMALL GODS that may well be baffling to anyone for whom that is their first discworld book

Magnus Archives/Discworld crossover (a fic I will never write but always crave)

- Jon and Martin end up somewhere else. That somewhere else is ankh Morpork.

- there’s some hijinks and shenanigans and the fears get banished to the dungeon dimensions.

- I feel like Jon and Ponder Stibbons will be friends.

- Jon becomes a wizard, since knowing things and not doing magic is half of what it takes to be a wizard anyway. I feel like he would probably end up working in the library, and helping keep students away from the dangerous books.

- eventually I think he would end up a professor in his own right, maybe a professor of Catastrophic Literature, that feels fitting. He would have his own department, but in the way Wizards do, so he mostly hangs out with the librarian and the grad students in the library or high energy magic building. I feel like the way wizards approach academia would be good for Jon.

- also at unseen university Jon could openly talk about his experiences without judgement. Maybe commiserate with Rincewind.

- meanwhile Martin- I think if they were in the country Martin would become a witch, but in the city, I think he would end up working for the sunshine sanctuary for sick dragons and end up becoming friends with Sybil.

- he would absolutely end up bringing a dragon home, and Jon would be utterly charmed by it. Even if it does leave acid stains on his robes. It’s like the more pathetic version of a cat.

- Martin had kind of been hoping Jon would be the voice of reason about the dragons- but before he knows it they have three and they couldn’t be happier. (Though they could probably be a bit less singed.)

- I know Martin has his thing about burning and fire, but also I feel like the dragons are therapeutic for him.

I may add more thoughts later- I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts tho!!!

I’d recommend pairing the Librarian with the wizzard Rincewind for optimal disc-saving potential. (Spot Illustration by me, text from Sourcery, by Terry Pratchett)

"Not all Men" you're right, the men of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch would never do this

Vimes stopped and stared down at the big, mild face. 'Tell me,' he said. 'I've always wanted to know…is it better, being an ape?' The Librarian thought about it. 'Oook,' he said. 'Oh. Really?' said Vimes.
