[Vetinari:] 'Indeed, if a poor man will spend a year in prison for stealing out of hunger, how high would the gallows need to be to hang the rich man who breaks the law out of greed?’
‘I would like to reiterate, sir, that I buy all my own paperclips,’ said Drumknott urgently.
‘Of course, but in your case I am pleased to say that you have a brain so pristine that it sparkles.'
- Snuff, Terry Pratchett

Discworld incorrect quote
Moist: How do you just sit like that? I mean, you have this uncanny, preternatural ability to just... sit for hours and hours. Just sit and not do anything. Do you think? I mean, I know you think. A conscious person can't not think, it's impossible. What do you think about?
Drumknott: Things.
Moist: Things? Uh-huh. What kind of things? Love and death? Family?
Drumknott: Clips.
Moist: Clips?
Drumknott: Paper clips.
Moist: All these hours you sit and think about paper clips?
Drumknott: Not all the time.
Moist: What else? What else do you think about?
Drumknott: Colors.
Moist: Really? Colors?
Drumknott: Blue mostly.
Moist: Blue?
Drumknott: And beige.
Moist: Mr. Drumknott, is this conversation as absurd to you as it is to me?
Drumknott: You started it.
Moist: Right.
Taken from Northern Exposure season 4 episode 12 "revelations". Marilyn (drumknott in this) is the character of all time, I love her dearly

Go For It, Drumknott!
I thought it would be really cute to do this format for Drumknott so here we are!! Something something pining something something getting to see Vetinari in the moments when he lets his guard down <33
I love they :sob:

can you blame a mime for wanting to check if the patrician’s opinion on The Art has changed over the past decade? he did allow the movable type even though it was previously banned, after all.
the latest episode of are you scared featured a mime who was up to some supernatural shenanigans and the first thing that popped in my head was that this kind of bullshit would not fly in ankh-morpork. and then this happened.

‘To the world's Greatest Boss’
I’m re-reading Unseen Academicals, and there’s this phrase when Glenda enters Oblong Office, that there was a cup with ‘To the world's Greatest Boss’ caption on it. And now I can’t help imagining Vetinari getting it on Hogswatch from Drumknott xd
Maybe I need a fic about it.

Inktober day 18 - Train driver
Vetinari and Drumknott post Raising Steam
(By the way, random headcanons about them: they’re both aro-ace and Drumknott is trans.)

Some stuff featuring Vetinari.
I love when people draw him with longer hair (I personally always imagined it to be short), so I like to headcanon him having had longer hair in the early books and prior to that!

On a train trip today and having a lot of thoughts about Vetinari and Drumknott travelling together on the railway
Granted these are diesel trains, not steam, but thinking about these fancy carriages specifically because they’re The Best
One day I need to draw them in a compartment,,
