The thing about Discworld, you see, is that it’s a very hopeful form of cynicism. It doesn’t just tell you that the world is crap, it says, well, yes, of course the world is crap, but that’s why you should be hopeful, and helpful, and kind, and why you have to be good, because maybe you can make it a little less crap.
Reason #33573743742 why I love the Discworld books.
I would go a step further and say that the books reassure you that you don’t have to be good. Sam Vimes knows that he isn’t much better than the criminals he hunts. Tiffany Aching knows she’s selfish. Moist von Lipwig knows he’s a scoundrel. Granny Weatherwax knows she’d have preferred to be a wicked witch. But the heroes of Pratchett’s books look at themselves critically, see that they are not nice people, and go “Well, so what?” and go out and save the world anyway. You don’t have to be a good person. The choice to do good is open to everyone.

i wrote postcanon fic for caligula (overdose, specifically)
that’s how you know im truly in hell
Pros of being a Fandom Old:
- never have to worry about my mom finding out about my porn fic
- have seen it all before and give few if any fucksCons of being a Fandom Old:
- forced to work at actual job instead of writing fic all day
- have seen it all before and get regular “ugh not again” moments

this page is a national treasure

in honor of the cfv anime reboot i’m bringing this back
also apparently it’s a full adaptation of the manga so with any luck we’ll get this animated too

It was supposed to be happy but I accidentally made myself sad while drawing this remembering the line “I’ll never forget you, Naosuke”…… I fluctuate wildly between being happy with Yoshinobu’s character arc and being a weak person who needs a sequel where Naosuke crawls his way back out of hell
Sarah is allergic to strawberries. As soon as she puts them in her mouth, her face swells up and she gets hives. It’s non-life-threatening but uncomfortable for her.
Sally is also allergic to strawberries, and has the same symptoms.
Sarah informs her friends she is allergic to strawberries so they can stop using them in shared food. Some of them even stop eating strawberries too (or, at least, stop eating them around her), so she is more comfortable. Sarah researches places she can eat out that will take care with her allergy, and chooses restaurants who agree they can accommodate her, or who do not use strawberries in any of their cooking.
Sally, on the other hand, goes into restaurants specifically advertising only strawberry desserts, orders a dessert, and makes a huge fuss when she gets sick. She takes to social media, the local newspapers, everywhere, to tell people how terrible this restaurant is for not specifically accommodating her personal allergy. She goes back frequently to insult and harass specific staff. Some staff have even quit because of her. Sally says it is her personal right to have her allergy accommodated in every single place she feels like eating! She posts pictures of herself all swollen and ill everywhere and blames the restaurant and the staff for her discomfort.
Be like Sarah, not like Sally.
