The back of Discworld novels: wowee terry's whipped another wacky and wild adventure for us this time! there's so many silly shenanigans and witty wordplay in this book that you're sure to have a hilarious time!
Discword novels: a cynical alcoholic navigating and overcoming the pointlessness of his job, a transparent metaphor for racism and gun violence in the police system and in general, an intelligent young girl overcoming the ideas she's been taught by her culture and the media she consumes, just an entire novel made of commentary on war and gender, using talking animals as a way to explore what defines personhood and contrasting stories vs reality, an ex-convict coming to terms with the damage he's caused and fighting monopolies that are trying to do the same thing,

the way i see it the supernatural finale could be interpreted as disrespectful and a slap in the face to the characters who fought so hard to create their own story, write their own destiny, define all odds and live their lives outside of gods will in this case but personally to me the whole "this was always gonna end like this", "love was there and it didn't chnage anything. but it still matters that the love was there", and the fact that their story and legacy will live on and the fact that sam and dean died the way they were introduced to us in the very first episode and the way both characters always predicted,, is kind of,, its kind of beautiful,..

It's funny how Claire is less annoying when she's talking to Sam. That post about Sam enriching the characters when they interact with him is so true

Also, here's Sam and Frodo in Mordor:
Frodo is working up his courage to go on/wrestling with the temptation of the Ring, and Sam is wishing he could be more help/wrestling with the barrier of the Ring that he can't save Frodo from.
(The thing in the middle is the spine of my planner, since I drew one of them on each of the outer covers. Very convenient to symbolize said barrier!)
Fun book-canon detail: Frodo has a cleft in his chin (see Gandalf's amusing description as recounted by Mr. Butterbur in chapter 10).
Less fun book-canon detail: Sam's knees are scraped up, which Tolkien mentioned during the dash to cut Frodo off at the boat, then apparently forgot about, to my chagrin and concern.

i’m like an unlikeable masshole shitbag who goes around bumming cigs and drinking beer so all the other masshole shitbags love me. and these are the same type of people who would normally be like EWWW PRONOUNS. TRANSGENDER 😡. but when they learn about they/them for me they’re like. well i can make an exception for them cuz they’re such an asshole and we like them. literally advancing nonbinary rights at this school everyday by being the lamest guy around.

That was the first time watching a book adaptation where I was stressing out because I didn’t know how it would end with all the changes made. I kept hitting the bed, freaking out while my husband laughed at me.
Personally I loved the book and I loved the show. Just have to keep them separated because each were very different.
