"I expect you think I'm a silly girl," mumbled Betty after a while.

"A foolish woman, perhaps," said Polly, turning to watch the landscape intently.

"It was, you know, a whirlwind romance..."

"Sounds more like a hurricane to me," said Polly, and Betty grinned.

"Yes, it was a bit like that," she said.

Polly matched smile for smile. "Betty, it's daft to talk about silly and foolish at a time like this," she said. "Where are we going to look for wisdom? To a god who hates jigsaws and the color blue? A fossil government led by a picture? An army that thinks stubbornness is the same as courage? Compared to all that, all you've got wrong is timing!"

Since she was not naturally a defying kind of person it was not quite the look that she thought it was and it ought to have been, having overtones of haemorrhoid sufferer, but the effort was there.

Good Borogravian girls...

The backstories of the (human) members of the Monstrous Regiment squad, and what pushed them into joining up

My first headshot sketches of the Ins-n-Outs of Monstrous Regiment where I was mostly satisfied with the designs (minus a properly drawn Carborundum, plus extra Mals). Still fond of it, but definitely one of those "I should try redrawing this since it's been so long" things.

crying over the galpalification of the monstrous regiment back of the book blurb.....like it was 2003 and there was no other way to say it but literally things that make "they didn't hold hands like, well, friends...." even funnier. they don't even mention shufti.

#like they could have focused on the arson instead of the lesbianism but here we are #also they dont even mention shufti!!!!! no jokes abt being in the family way or whatever #monstrous regiment #also everyone clap n cheer for my friend jules who has my copy but sent me this picture of it #cause i needed to know if the close friends thing was real #discworld #terry pratchett

yaoi couple/yuri couple/regular couple/i see no difference. love is love meme but the first 3 panels are just polly and maladict three times

ok hear me out a modern day monstrous regiment where the regiment sneak into an all boys (transphobic) frat because it's the cheapest accommodation nearest to their uni.

shufti is there to get revenge on the guy who got her pregnant and ghosted her (looney tunes shenanigans ensue bcs shuftis disguise is terrible but somehow the guy dosent recognise her (like mby she is just wearing a santa claus false beard from the 2 dollar shop but people assume it's real idk))

pol/ozzer is there cos no one has heard from her brother in months and she's trying to find him (he got an art residency and just forgot to tell anyone)

wazzer is just there to preach to the degenerate masses (most people think this is a bit but they are 100% genuine)

i have more but i can't be bothered typing it out rn so lemme know if u wann hear more

#god this is going to live in my brain #arrarararr #charactersssssss #i love my regiment #monstrous fraternity #<- ​the tag imma use #discworld #gnu terry pratchett #monstrous regiment

calling the book unintentionally queer was my greatest mistake. The book IS QUEER. It’s UNAPOLOGETICALLY gay. Pratchett really put his whole p. put his. his whole-

#I can’t say it #sir terry please forgive me #ig I called it unintentionally queer bc that’s just what you’re used to yk #it’s nice to read a book and not have to reach for representation #anyway enjoy the character designs <3 #discworld #discworld fanart #monstrous regiment #polly perks #maladict #tonker #lofty #wazzer #shufti

"Well, er, wearing men's clothes is an Abomination unto Nuggan--"

"Why?"

"It just is," said Shufti firmly. "But--"

"--you're wearing them," said Polly.

"Well, it was the only way," said Shufti. "And I tried them on and they didn't seem all that abominable to me."

"Have you noticed men talk to you differently?" said Lofty shyly.

"Talk?" said Polly. "They listen to you differently, too."

"They don't keep looking at you all the time," said Shufti. "You know what I mean. You're just a...another person. If a girl walked down the street wearing a sword, a man would try to take it off her."

‘This has happened before, anyway! And it ended right! There’s a song about it and everything!’ ‘Oh, that,’ said Polly. ‘Yes. I know.’ Folk singers should be shot.

Yesterday evening I found out what Carborundum looks like and had a sort of Pratchett induced I can't believe I missed that moment: Carborundum is rainbow.

Last of the Ins-n-Outs for now, Shufti! One of these days I need to draw Blouse and Carborundum to complete the whole set (though if I do, at that point I might as well redraw everyone).

i feel like i never paid enough attention to The Resolutions at the end of monstrous regiment like of course clapping and cheering for wazzer and tonker & lofty's excellent arson adventure but shufti moving into the inn. naming her baby after jackrum. appointing paul as the specialist uncle in the whole world.....waah

#they dont imply that shufti and paul get together or anything just that he loves that kid #but the last shot of them polly sees is like. they are a Family now #also igor staying on with the army as an ob-gyn??? #monstrous regiment
