Why are you an abomination and how can I become one too?

Hi! Sorry if my answer is late - I wasn't as present here recently. Good news, if you use Tumblr, you probably already are an abomination unto Nuggan!

Nuggan is a Discworld deity. His Abominations vary from girls in men's clothing to chocolate and umbrellas.

(I consider myself one mostly due to rigid gender norms in Nugganism.)

Also, read Discworld. I cannot recommend it enough. If you are interested in Nuggan, exploration of gender and queerness, you can start with Monstrous Regiment.

kind of obsessed by discworld igors btw

they're onto something i think

wonky morphological freedom, modular biology

also they're able to make immortal dogs, that alone should count for something

(and you just know they can give you some banger custom bottom surgery too)

"Clouds parted in front of her and there, spread below, was Ankh-Morpork [...] Susan could hear the sounds of the streets, even individual voices, but there was also the great roar of the city, like some kind of insect hive. Upper windows drifted by, each one a glow of candlelight".

9 years. GNU Sir Terry Pratchett.

Yes, Granny Weatherwax and Vimes would absolutely hate each other, but if they were ever paired up on a case there would be absolute chaos for the antagonists. wacky hijinks and competition between these two that eventually ends with them both catching the bad guys or w/e. and then the end would be them walking off together and Vimes lighting a cigar while saying "granny, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship"

As with the horse poll, please regard these options as sliders. The extent to which each one deviates from 1/6th of the total will determine the amount that canine aspect deviates from the "average."

I will draw the dog we make. :)

I've read almost all the Discworld books and you could still just straight up lie to me about names and I'd believe you.

the uninitiated would think I'm lying if I said there are characters named Miss Drapes and Mr. Bent, and yet, they appear in the same book.

I think it's right about the perfect time for a reread of The Color of Magic!

GNU Terry Pratchett, thank you for creating the most pathetic wet cat character of all time

I have so many good omens wips. and then there's the monster of an OFMD au thats been sitting semi-abandoned on ao3 that i NEED to finish, WANT to finish, but wriggles out of my grasp every time I try to write the ending.

in conclusion, send help

Good omens series 3 sneak peek

[oakys-sideblog]

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

Every one of you needs to read Going Postal by Terry Pratchett right now. Especially if you do anything related to tech, finance, or public services. I am not kidding.
