Congrats on another loop around the sun! :>

:> omg is that a little bird beak thats so cute

Thank you! =^-^=

Is it a loop or is it a spiral because the sun is also moving so I'm pretty sure the earth goes in a sort of slanted spiral around it I'm not sure because a loop implies the beginning position is the same as the end position but even if they're not at the same coordinates in the grand scheme of things it's still the same position relative to the sun so that might be whats really important here

If you look at other examples of a loop (roller coaster, a knotted cord, freeway on/off-ramps), none of those have the start exactly the same as the beginning but we still call them loops but why is THIS a roller coaster loop and THAT a roller coaster spiral?

Is it the amount of rotations? Then why is a roller coaster with multiple rotations like this one still called a loop?

Maybe it's the orientation. The first one more or less just goes up then down with little side-to-side while the other one goes left-up-right-down

Then what about corkscrews? Twisters? The Good Ole Circle.

Considering planetary movement and all that junk, is any loop produced on Earth a true loop because with how fast we're moving all the time is it possible to ever reach the same point for a second time?

Now consider the narrative loop, the timeloop, Sisyphus and his spherical boulder, me having to go to work again tomorrow

shoutout to everybody who's favorite character is heavily associated with a character they don't care about (or worse actively dislike) by majority of the fandom🥂🥳

Sorry Boys has the perfect setup for becoming an actual like. ARG or horror web series and I genuinely think its really funny that it's like. not. they have a website where if you input a code you get an ominous audio snippet in the zombie apocalypse videos they reference several other sorry boys videos implying that they're all somehow taking place in the same universe, weird cryptic things happening in some of the videos that just. never get explained. and they've all got experience with acting and horror (ranboo from genloss and the enderwalk arg, wilbur from his arg, charlie from genloss and jrwi, and all five of them have been on roleplay servers) and they've committed to being a fucking insane vlog channel. perfect keep up the good work guys

y'know having read them multiple times i don't understand why people say that Night Watch is the darkest City Watch book when Thud! is right there.

like, Night Watch is pretty grim when you focus on the inevitability of it, but throughout the book the whole like... THING of it is "being told something is inevitable, and fighting it anyway." it's a story about hope and inspiring it in others even when you're not sure you're going to make it through either way. right up until the final melee with Carcer, Vimes does what he can to forestall the inevitable, and for most of the book, he *wins.*

Thud! on the other hand is about fighting against the weight of deep ancient grudges, and the outcome of it SEEMS inevitable. Koom Valley Will Happen Again, and throughout the book there seems no way to stop it. the resolution comes right at the very end, although the book 100% earns the reveal. but it's one man and a small team fighting against bigotry and hatred and figureheads stoking war.

that's not even TOUCHING on the actual Events in the book, which include a hit squad armed with flamethrowers very nearly torching Sam Vimes' infant son to fucking death. then there's the whole thing with the Summoning Dark which keeps trying to push Vimes' rage to the point of murder, there's the part where it *succeeds* and drives him into an unstoppable berserker rage, there's people dying slowly in dark tunnels, and the Vurms which feasting on putrefied corpses.

it's also the first time we've seen Vimes in an actual Murderous rage. every time beforehand he's been angry but it's been "oh i'm gonna arrest the SHIT out of you. i might put the boot in for good measure but you're coming with ME, sunshine." but no, this time he's literally chasing down a hitman screaming "i'll kill you" over and over again.

Thud! is a properly dark book. and yet despite it's unrelenting horribleness... Love Still Wins. Love for your fellow "man." Love wins in all Pterry's books, you can tell, it shines off the page when you read them just how much that man loved humanity, warts 'n' all, but in this one it feels like it's the most optimistic ending. it's the one that goes "in spite of it all, the bigots and warmongers and the narrow minded Will Lose, because there are always people willing to go to the ends of the earth for Love, Love of one another."

i think that's why it's my favourite book in the series.
