Just finished listening to Guards! Guards! again and the scene with the Watch asking for compensation really hit me this time around. Vetinari does his big speech about the absolute evil and darkness in humanity and then Fred Colon and Nobby Nobbs, who we know are not heroes, are not particularly nice people, are not, in short, “good” and they ask for barely any money and a new kettle and a dartboard and they worry that they’re asking for too much.

And Vimes just laughs and laughs at all the upper crust diplomats and Vetinari who can’t understand it. Can’t understand ten dollars a month raise. Can’t understand a kettle. Can’t understand a dart board.

I forgot how much I loved these books.

Discworld inktober day 27 - Sam Vimes and Errol

Sam Vimes always felt a bit like Clint Eastwood to me, because he was always grumpy. He’s really a big softy though and even though he’s resistant, he makes so many friends in all the stories. And it felt like I did too. Including a little dragon named Errol.

“Never build a dungeon you wouldn't be happy to spend the night in yourself. The world would be a happier place if more people remembered that.”

Sometimes I feel good and then I remember that then it arose and struck Vimes that, in her own special category, she was quite beautiful; this was the category of all the women, in his entire life, who had ever thought he was worth smiling at. She couldn't do worse, but then, he couldn't do better. So maybe it balanced out. She wasn't getting any younger but then, who was? And she had style and money and common-sense and self-assurance and all the things that he didn't, and she had opened her heart, and if you let her she could engulf you; the woman was a city.

I will never get over the way Sir Terry characterizes people by describing their rooms! Like he did with Sybil Ramkin's bedroom or Miss Flitworth's living room. Makes me think about how the way your decorations (or lack thereof) tell a lot about you

#feel free to add any other examples! #i can just think of Sybills bedroom in #guards guards #or Miss Flitworths room in #reaper man #discworld #sir terry pratchett

Hey Discworld fans and followers, @modiphius has secured a license to make games based on Sir Terry’s Discworld! Super stocked I also sent them my art 🤷‍♂️ 🤞

But anyway, they seem really genuine and excited about working on this project and have a survey for Discworld fans so they can understand why people love the books as best as possible which I think is a beautiful way to make a game.

Heres the survey for anyone interested

Between grad school and commission work, I'm working on a lil' series of animal-ified character sketches from Terry Pratchett's "Guards! Guards!"

I've already finished one for Carrot , and now we have Captain Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch! The design is based on a Český Fousek (or the 'Bohemian wire-haired pointing griffon').

Please note that I have not yet had the chance to read the books myself (though I intend to!) - I'm basing these depictions mostly off of how myself and the rest of my cast played the roles in our theatrical production, so there are likely inconsistencies when it comes to costumes and such :)

Bought this used copy of Guards! Guards! (thanks, Seattle Good Will and alibris!) and there is just one page with annotations, in the same color pen as the previous owner's name on the front cover.

I cannot figure out what this was intended to point out or emphasize.

So I’m reading through the Watch Discworld books for the first time and I’ve only just started Night Watch.

Some misc. thoughts that occurred to me so far, in no particular order:

- Vimes being all shocked pikachu face about Vetinari employing spies in The Fifth Elephant is a lot less funny when you know about the unmentionables. That is his primary formative experience about spies. No wonder he doesn’t like them.

- We talk a lot about how the character of Vetinari wasn’t entirely settled yet in Guards! Guards!, especially the scene where he’s like « they’re laughing at me! I can tell! » which is a bit frazzled behaviour for this particular guy. But on the other hand, imagine being the only person who actually cares about the city and is trying to keep it together and functional. He must have been under a lot of stress until he realized he had Samuel « shut the fuck up sir I’m trying to arrest someone » Vimes and Carrot « do you know the origin of the word watchman? » Ironfundersson on his side, or at least sharing a similar goal.

- Speaking of Vetinari, I can’t help but wonder if he put Colon and Nobby in charge of traffic because he knew they’d fuck it up a little bit. Vimes, and by extension the watch, were now known to be extremely competent to the point where the Klatchian prince knew how to manipulate Vimes as part of his conspiracy plans. But if the very public facing and very memorable task of traffic control was taken over by a bunch of incompetents, then maybe people would think less of the watch, or at least their true capability would be obfuscated for a bit longer. It always pay for people to underestimate you…

My theatre group is putting on a production of Guards! Guards! in February in Sheffield, UK. It would be wonderful to meet the wider Discworld community that is hiding in the crevices
