“Look, my son,” the holy man said hurriedly. “What exactly is it you want? I haven’t got all day.”

YES, YOU HAVE. TAKE IT FROM ME.

“What do you want?”

WHY DO THINGS HAVE TO BE THE WAY THEY ARE?

“Well -”

YOU DON’T KNOW, DO YOU?

“Not exactly. The whole thing is meant to be a mystery, see?”

The stranger stared at the holy man for some time, causing the man to feel that his head had become transparent.

THEN I WILL ASK YOU A SIMPLER QUESTION. HOW DO HUMANS FORGET?

God, Chrysophrase is so great. I’m a fan of him already.

This was exciting because i never sculpted an aged face before and i had so much fun. She is granny Weatherwax from the (in case you didn’t already know) amazing Discworld books. Her design is of course largely based on the wonderful art by Paul Kidby, however, i wanted to go at least into a slightly different direction since a mass produced bust in that style already exists and i don’t see why i should try doing exactly the same thing. Also she is described to be wearing many hatpins so i always found it a bit “weird” that they all looked the same in Kidby’s drawings. If i was a witch with many hatpins i’d make them all different! What’s the point of having them all be the same, right?

Rereading Guards! Guards! because why not, and I came across this

Sam Vimes is upset because he disobeyed orders. The same Sam Vimes who, in about half a book, legally changes his name to Sam “Fuck Authority” Vimes.

something that i think is very beautiful and important about discworld is that everyone with so much as a name who dies on the pages of a discworld book will meet the reaper on the pages of that book. it’s not an absolute rule (i can think of an exception in feet of clay), and i don’t know when it first came into play. i only first noticed it in small gods. but i feel like it must have been important to sir terry, the way he so often went out of his way to uphold it. and it certainly meant a lot to me, as a reader. because personal isn’t the same as important. because what can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the reaper man?

Yes, sir. I’ve given that viewpoint a lot of thought, sir, and reached the following conclusion: arseholes to the lot of ‘em sir.
