the thematic underpinning of wooden overcoats is super rich and consistent in what it says about death and grief and personal identity and social responsibility and gender and sexuality and human relationships and artistic expression and nihilism and acceptance and self-worth but I also feel completely insane making notes about, like, the pseudo gothic doubling among the four lead characters and what that says about the text's approach to differentiating the life and death drives when this is a podcast narrated by a mouse who lives in one of the protagonist's pockets while she works on writing several volumes of best selling memoirs that she publishes via random mouse.

He took another sip of his cocoa. It was only lukewarm now, but along with the cigar it meant both his hands were occupied. That was important. He wasnt holding a weapon.

I've just been absolutely rambling in my notes app about Monstrous Regiment. Like.

It's such a silly premise at face value, a regiment where every single person is actually a woman pulling a Mulan (or, rather more fittingly, a Sweet Polly Oliver), but then you read it and it's about blind faith, the pitfalls of war and organised religion, how we use those things to hide hatred and fear. It's about gender roles, and how flawed the idea that “If women were in charge, there'd be no wars” is. It's about people, and human nature, as almost every Discworld book is, when you get down to it.

It's got a coffee-addict vampire. What's not to like?

EVERYONE(!) I’m blazing this post because at this pace we might barely hit 1,000,000 signatures—or just fall short. PLEASE reblog this post, no matter where you are from, so we can reach as many EU citizens as possible and end this horrible practice!

Angua

Oh hello, here's another addition to my Discworld Characters As I See Them When I Read The Novels series. It's been a while since the last one.

I always related to Angua's hair problems. Not just to the fact that her hair is big and unruly, but also that it makes her feel hairy, masculine and unatractive. As a woman suffering from Hyperandrogenism, with hair growing from sides of my face and my neck all the way to my back, hey - I really feel you, girl!

None of the official depictions and very little of fanart out there is hairy enough for my liking, lol.

I'm terrible at drawing animals, but I needed to do the wolf-shape Angua, too! The way I picture her wolf self still resemble her facial features and vice versa.

--- follow & support me on ko-fi maybe? plz. P.S. Commissions are open (for now)

The Tyrant nodded.

'As you wish. In the meantime, the palace is at your disposal. There are many fine temples and works of art should you wish to inspect them. When you require meals, mention the fact to the nearest slave.'

'Slave is an Ephebian word. In Om we have no word for slave,' said Vorbis.

'So I understand,' said the Tyrant. 'I imagine that fish have no word for water.' He smiled the fleeting smile again.
