⚔✊All the little angels, rise up, rise up...

This is a redraw of a very old piece, because Vimes deserves better than 2019-me's art skills.

That is not to say I look down on the original, I still love it, and it was one of my best drawings at the time. This redraw is a tribute to the Treacle Mine Road Revolution, to Pratchett's writing, to its impact on my life, to little-me, and to the passage of time.

Rise up!

No enemies had ever taken Ankh-Morpork. Well, technically they had, quite often; the city welcomed free-spending barbarian invaders, but somehow the puzzled raiders always found, after a few days, that they didn't own their own horses any more, and within a couple of months they were just another minority group with its own graffiti and food shops.

This is Goodboy Bindle Featherstone of Quirm, the hottest swamp dragon in the great city of Ankh-Morpork! Also known as Errol.

Looking for Discworld folks

I've loved Discworld for years, but I'm new in the fandom. Please, like/reblog if you post about it (or reblog Discworld posts), especially the Ankh-Morpork characters.

Edit: Yes, it absolutely counts if you reblog but don't make original posts!

Group D, Round 5

Propaganda under the cut

Lord Vetinari

Tyrant ruler of a city, former assassin who took over the city after a long string of other patricians. Loves to trick people into thinking things were their ideas, manipulate people and deny it to their faces, and make sure everyone stays in line. Loves the city and manages it well. Cunty, will do anything to keep playing a board game with someone from another country, actually kind of nice sometimes if you’re not a threat to him.

Miss Piggy

She is the queen of Girlbossing. She lies to get what she wants, and keeps out any she thinks isn't worthy of what she has to offer. She is perhaps the original Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss.

So is the Duck Man a demon, or is he safe from that classification because he's in different books?

Also, what if he was in Good Omens, just hanging out at St. James's Park?

‘But you see, your grace, you’re not here as an individual but as Ankh-Morpork. When people look at you, they see the city, mhm, mhm.’ ‘They do? Should I stop washing?’

I do love the fact that the 2 backwards and/or bigoted members of the ankh-morpork city watch are called Colon (shit intestine) and Nobbs (idiot). Terry Pratchett truly has a way with words

The Genius of Pratchett: A Deep Dive into Discworld's Lasting Impact

If you’ve ever found yourself chuckling at a grumpy, anthropomorphic Death or a suitcase on hundreds of little legs, then you have fallen under the spell of the late, great Terry Pratchett. His legendary Discworld series, a mirthful, satirical romp through an absurd universe teetering on the back of four elephants (all of whom are perched on a giant turtle, naturally), has left a lasting imprint…

This is the Opera House, Ankh-Morpork . . . a huge, rambling building, where innocent young sopranos are lured to their destiny by a strangely familiar evil mastermind in a mask and evening dress, with a penchant for lurking in shadows, occasional murder, and sending little notes full of maniacal laughter and exclamation marks. Opera can do that to a man.

How various Morporkians would react to "Wow, you really take after your father!"

Sybil and Adora: Thanks!

Vetinari: K.  

Cheri: Um. I'm sure you didn't mean that as an insult...

Vimes, Moist and pretty much any vampire: *audible confusion*

Angua and William De Worde: If you don't take that back in the next fifteen seconds, there will be dire fucking consequences

Young Sam: That is the greatest fucking compliment I have ever received.

The Guild of Fire Fighters had been outlawed by the Patrician the previous year after many complaints. The point was that, if you bought a contract from the Guild, your house would be protected against fire.

Unfortunately, the general Ankh-Morpork ethos quickly came to the fore and fire fighters would tend to go to prospective clients' houses in groups, making loud comments like 'Very inflammable looking place, this' and 'Probably go up like a firework with just one carelessly-dropped match, know what I mean?'
