Goth flamingo thing aside, what about Vetinari being a melanistic serval?

25% of the Discworld books being about how actually, kindness, empathy, and common sense are the REAL MAGIC is something that is so important to me

i think it's cute when vimes apparently remembers little sayings he, uh, remembers vetinari saying. it's cute!! it's cute to me!!

The clock said quarter past eleven. Vimes walked over to the door and, despite precedent, knocked gently. There was no sound from within, no murmur of distant voices. He tried the handle. The door was unlocked. Lord Vetinari had always said that punctuality was the politeness of princes. Vimes went in. (Feet of Clay)

Tax farming. What a clever invention. Good old Winder. He’d flogged the right to collect taxes to the highest bidders. What a great idea, nearly as good as banning people from carrying weapons after dark. Because a) you saved the cost of tax collectors and the whole revenue system, b) you got a wagonload of cash up front. And c) the business of tax gathering then became the business of groups of powerful yet curiously reticent people who kept out of the light. However, they employed people who not only went out in the light but positively blocked it, and it was amazing what those people found to tax, up to and including Looking At Me, Pal. What was it Vetinari had said once? ‘Taxation is just a sophisticated way of demanding money with menaces’? Well, the tax farmers were very unsophisticated in the way they went about recouping their investment. (Night Watch)

Was anyone important thinking about this? Suddenly the machine was wobbling, but Winder and his cronies didn’t think about the machine, they thought about money. Meat and drink came from servants. They happened. Vetinari, Vimes realized, thought about this sort of thing all the time. The Ankh-Morpork back home was twice as big and four times as vulnerable. He wouldn’t have let something like this happen. Little wheels must spin so that the machine can turn, he’d say. (also Night Watch)

Discworld x Tolkien crossover where Vimes arrests the One Ring for being an accessory to murder

[ghosting-gren]

Still reading the Watch and Watch-adjacent Discworld books, and I've circled back to Night Watch, which was the first Discworld novel I read and the one that got me interested in reading the others. It's fascinating to see how the tone has shifted since Guards! Guards! over the course of these books. There's always been social commentary and commentary on human nature, and there's always been an element of darkness. And then you get to Night Watch and the scene of Vimes and young Sam in Cable Street and it's like...fucking hell.

some fandom disagreements are like "I see your point but I think this other aspect of the narrative is more significant," and some are like "I don't think you can read."
