Terry Pratchett!

When I was reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (and sequels), I felt that something about it was oddly similar to Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. Something about the bizarre character ideas, the new takes on philosophical concepts like time or reincarnation or our place in the universe, and the witty satire on Earth (Roundworld) bureaucracy…

Am I the only one who feels like this?

May the 4th truly is a blessed day in the Nerdom calendar:

May the 4th be with you.

Reichenbach Falls Day.

The second day in the yearly celebration of Dracula.

I wonder, how many other days have such a level of importance in so many fandoms? Surely there must be others?

This is exactly why I keep telling people:

Read. Terry. Pratchett. Books.

And if you already have… well, reread them after a good while to have a new understanding of them.

Reading a Terry Pratchett book is literally just: Here's a funny little joke Here's something that you can tell is a joke but don't get and will only figure out five years later Here's a surprisingly cool fantasy concept Here's a unique and well written simile Here's a lil guy Here's something that has aged depressingly well into the modern day Here's something that has aged remarkably queer into the modern day Here's a character that you can barely understand what he's saying Here is the most terrifying and deeply disturbing concept you have ever heard, casually mentioned Here is the dumbest fucking pun you've ever heard but in the best way Here is a quote so profound that it makes you view morality and the world in a different way Here is a plot twist that you can't tell if it's genius or stupid Congratulations! You've finished the book! It has fundamentally changed you as a person and you will never be the same!

I hate when I get clickbaited by physical mail. The envelope says “NOTICE: IMPORTANT INFORMATION” and then I open it and it’s like “Sign up for HelloFresh :)”

This has definitely happened somewhere in Discworld.

I think my main problem with modern clothing is that nothing's got volume anymore. Like historically there's been so much clothing that's just BIG, bulky, meant to be flashy and volumnous and not look like it was just spray painted on the body. I mean yeah I do wear skinny jeans on purpose but what if instead of a hoodie I wanted to wear a big fuck-off fancy little purely decorational off-the shoulder cape? Consider:

Big brimmed hat, big boots, skinny jeans, t-shirt and a big wide short cloak that covers up like half of me. Not for any body image reasons or other insecurities. I just think that if I wished, I should be able to discreetly conceal carry a small dog.

So true
