Ya know what? Even before JK Rowling outed herself as a substandard primate, I wasn't a big fan. Harry Potter is the least bingeable fantasy series I've read.
Lord of the Rings? Perfect for binge reading.
Discworld? Streaming services envy the variety.
Harry Potter? Tonal whiplash like there's no tomorrow. Went from kids books to being for edgy teens that don't want to be embarrassed yet.
At least How to Train Your Dragon doesn't try to change demographic that quickly. It actually matures over the series and takes time to transition, instead of just switching to a different style out of nowhere.
Soz for the ramble in tags.
I got 4 points and 'won'! :D
Thank you so much.
Did you all remember Worm Crowley? Well, since the Peter Anderson Studio publish it I though I would do him justice. So I made him kiss Aziraphale in a little silly game.
You can try it here:
Hope you like it :) I enjoyed making it.
A little advice: Aziraphale is a little shy and we all know he wait 6000 years to do it so be patient with him please.
I feel like I'm doing Tumblr and other social mediums wrong.
My most used account is a gimmick account on Discord, my Tumblr is half-crazed rambling that only friends should be subject to and the person who channels the dead for me is now reduced to an artefact that I can use directly.
The only thing I feel like I'm doing right is the private stuff and the postal service, and the latter only because I don't.
Alright, a bit of context for why two polymer clay ships are here with so many tags: The brown ship was made for talk like a pirate day, the ghost ship was made while I was home alone and listening to the PotC soundtrack and it just turned into the Flying Dutchman with demon horns and the Black Pearl's sails, because that looked best. I used fimo modelling clay, kebab skewers, used teabags and contact adhesive. Watercolours on the ghost ship sails to make them black. I seriously recommend the stardust fimo colour, I used it for every colour on the ghost ship except windows and the hatch to lower decks. The trick with the masts is to make the holes before baking and then bake them separately; before it can cool, you put them back in and let the clay shrink around the sticks. No glue needed. Sails are done after baking, this is where contact adhesive is needed. I recommend making a template for both the side and above profiles.
Nobby is not allowed to do, hence nobody can know what Nobby does, and I most certainly hope that Nobby doesn't.
Ok let's clarify:
Moist fucks. Moist definitely fucks, and fucks severely.
Nanny also fucks. Or at least did fuck. Ridcully would fuck but he's celibate.
Vimes and Carrot obviously make love. Mort probably also makes love. Magrat definitely "makes love," which is very different from making love without quotation marks.
Neither Susan nor Vetinari would ever be caught doing anything as uncouth as having sex.
Colon et al procreate. Nobody is allowed to know what Nobby does
Lead candidate for people who have sex are Detritus and Tiffany Aching.
Granny Weatherwax in the Streets. Nanny Ogg in the Sheets.

guys. the scene of the capitol citizens yelling ‘CANCEL THE GAMES!’ when they find out about katniss’s alleged pregnancy is parallel to the capitol students yelling ‘get her out!’ about lucy gray. i am sick.
The Watch was like, three poor creative decisions away from being good IMO.
Lack of Nobby and Colon messes with the tone, trying to mix Guards, Guards with Night Watch and throwing in other plot lines along the way sent the pacing to the Dungeon Dimensions and there just wasn't room to leave anything as subtext - though I did enjoy Cheery coming out being more overt.
I like the aesthetic and I think Sybil being involved more is a good thing, even if both aspects could have been better.
Talking about women and gender expression in Discworld for my midterm. Dude, it's a shame that The Watch sucked so much because Joe Eaton-Kent was such a cool choice for Cheery. I thought it was really cool that they explored aspects of her gender and "coming out" as female that was mostly just subtext in the Original stories.
(A slide from my visuals)
i love the idea that the doctor is just an eldritch abomination dressed in a vaguely humanoid suit. like this is a creature that in so many ways is supremely, deeply, Wrong, but everyone sees them as a friend, as something to be trusted, because that's the perception they want to give to the universe
Solar power is not renewable because the Sun is dead in prolly billions of years, so what do we do at that point, huh?? checkmate, infinite fracking is the solution
