⚔✊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!

"You'd like Freedom, Truth, and Justice, wouldn't you, Comrade Sergeant?' said Reg encouragingly.

'I'd like a hard-boiled egg,' said Vimes, shaking the match out.

There was some nervous laughter, but Reg looked offended.

'In the circumstances, Sergeant, I think we should set our sights a little higher--'

'Well, yes, we could,' said Vimes, coming down the steps. He glanced at the sheets of papers in front of Reg. The man cared. He really did. And he was serious. He really was. 'But...well, Reg, tomorrow the sun will come up again, and I'm pretty sure that whatever happens we won't have found Freedom, and there won't be a whole lot of Justice, and I'm damn sure we won't have found Truth. But it's just possible that I might get a hard-boiled egg."

I had cocoa and a hard-boiled egg for breakfast, and believe me, it takes a lot of love for the books to get me to eat a hard-boiled egg. May you all have runny eggs with toast cut into soldiers.

Happy Glorious 25th of May to those who celebrate (and I do also have my towel with me):

He handed Willikins the sprig of lilac. The butler took it without comment, inserted it into a little silver tube of water that would keep it fresh for hours, and fixed it onto one of the breastplate straps. “Time moves on, doesn’t it, Your Grace,” he said, dusting Vimes down with a small brush. Vimes took out his watch. “It certainly does. Look, I’ll drop in at the Yard on my way to the palace, sign what needs signing, and I’ll be back as soon as possible, all right?”

I saw it, a one off made by a local silversmith, and couldn’t resist

(Truth! Justice! Freedom! Reasonably Priced Love! And a Hard- Boiled Egg!)

As a longtime Douglas Adams fan but a recent convert to Terry Pratchett, I’ve only just noticed that Towel Day is also the Glorious 25th of May. I guess I ought to get a lilac towel.

It’s remarkable to me that the Rallying Song that Pratchett made up for Night Watch and the Glorious Revolution (How Do They Rise Up) is deliberately NOT Do You Hear The People Sing, because that’s a song that... glorifies revolution, and that’s not what Night Watch is trying to do. It is always, from the moment we first hear the song, established as being about the dead. “People die” is the point.

That said, Do You Hear The People Sing (Reprise) is, weirdly enough, pretty much describing the things that happen during the Vetinari Patricianship

#i will. always be emotional about how vetinari of all people lowkey carried on the flame #he's out here building the world beyond the barricade you long to see #he IS the bright tomorrow. the evil-looking goth man is it #the glorious 25th of may #posts by me #i mean he did away with the need for war (''put away the sword''). in these days countries compete economically and diplomatically #and so many groups whom no one was even thinking about in the days of the revolution have gained freedom under vetinari #freedom and dignity too #maybe even freedom truth justice reasonably-priced love and a hard-boiled egg #discworld
