If there's one thing about Terry Pratchett, he sure knows how to write a romance between World's Lamest Dude and Woman With Autism

Ok, so maybe I'm reading into this... but.

I think the witch books really prove granny's (and I guess a few other magic users) rule about not using magic to medle in politics and how any time you use magic to alter something you keep having to use stronger and stronger magic to keep it that way.

Stick with me here pls. Spoilers for all the witches books ahead!

In wyrd sisters, they win and get Verence crowned because granny breaks her own rule and uses magic to interfere. She uses it on the entire kingdom. And it was the right choice to interfere, and the entire kingdom literally begged her to do it (and all the townspeople begged nanny)

buuut...

In lords and ladies, Verence is the one who planned the wedding for midsummer and sent to Hwel and tomjon for the play the elves used to help break through the dancers. Granny told him not to give magrat a chance to worry her way out of marrying him and kept magrat in the dark and pushed her away.

After that, well, the gentry. happen. The entire kingdom is affected, a witch was the one who powered the circle in the first place, and only stronger magic than granny used in wyrd sisters can fix it

Then.

Verence invited the vampyres. They want to take over the entire kingdom and turn them into blood bags... cattle? Only more witches, a magic ax, and an even stronger and smarter granny can beat them.

And sure. A lot of this was necessary to create an interesting narrative five books in with all those characters but it still seems like every threat to Verences crown is because of a magical being and the witches have to step in and stop it every time.

The disc and its magic is so unpredictable and seems to work through things and use them so I could see it using magical creatures to try rebalancing what granny changed. (and the beings trying to take over are at least as terrible as the duke and duchess)

And it's s so interesting that even though granny thinks she's always right but also always exempt from her own rules she was right about the rules and wrong about being exempt.

Maybe this is nothing but it feels like something to me...... 🧙‍♀️🧙

King Verence II and Queen Magrat Garlick. From humble beginnings as court jester and hippy witch, to progressively active king and warrior queen.

A few notes on the Discworld calendar:

Each Astronomical year is 800 days, and has eight seasons (Spring Prime, Summer, Autumn Prime, Winter Secundus or Spindlewinter, Secundus Spring, Summer Two, Secundus Autumn, and Backspindlewinter)

A year on the Disc often refers to a "common year", which is 400 days spread across 13 months and 4 seasons

Each month has 32 days, except for Ick, which only has 16

Each year begins on Hogswatch Day (Ick 1st) and ends on Hogswatch Eve (December 32nd)

(Inspired by this post)

Verence II was the most amiable monarch in the history of Lancre.

His subjects regarded him with the sort of good-natured contempt that is the fate of all those who work quietly and conscientiously for the public good.

Elphaba is definitely an honorary Discworld witch, but, hear me out:

So is Glinda.

She might be a slightly more urban variant than the ladies of the Lancre coven, but Glinda would thrive in Discworld.She already shows great promise at headology! She gets things done without immediately throwing magic at the problem! She just needs to get away from Morrible and the Wizard and she'll be great!
