I refuse to believe anyone didn't have an anciwnt Egypt phase.

it is so strange to me when people tell me they never had an ancient egyptian phase…like, what did you even do during your childhood?

In one hour, at Heritage Auctions, this 2008 private commission of SANDMAN and DEATH by me in pencil goes up for live auction. I am not the seller, I am simply bringing it to your attention.

I find it funny that Sam Vimes, Samuel "Sam Vimes' Boot Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness" Vimes, goes out of his way to get the cheapest and most worn boots imaginable, for the explicit purpose of navigating Ankh-Morpork like Toph from fucking Avatar.

“Ankh-Morpork is a godless city—” “I thought it had more than three hundred places of worship?” said Maladict. Strappi stared at him in a rage that was incoherent until he managed to touch bottom again. “Ankh-Morpork is a godawful city,” he said.

And yes, I am always on the hunt for replicas of the bladed ankh from The Hunger. No, not the Alchemy Gothic one, it strayed too far from the original design.

I can't remember if I've posted this before but my headcanon for a lot of why Vetinari shifts in his characterization as the Discworld series goes on is that he accidentally made himself the Anthropomorphic Personification of Ankh-Morpork itself. He's painted himself as synonymous with the city for so long that people have actually started to believe it, and that's fundamentally changed him as a result.

He starts out as a greedy, selfish bastard in TCoM because AM is entirely greedy and selfish at the time. There are no characters in that version of the city who actually care about anyone. Criminals go unchecked, the Watch is a corrupt and apathetic wreck, and the University is filled with backstabbing bastards. Then as the series goes on he solidifies into a cynical but selfless man who watches over a flawed city, but one that is improving as people like Carrot, William, and Ridcully start to inject some optimism and genuine moral principles into the mix. He becomes much more energetic and cheerful near the end of the series and I think it's because AM is becoming a more hospitable place with better infrastructure and a lot of good people working to make it better, partly due to Vetinari's own design.

With this in mind, the Havelock that we meet in Night Watch would be the "true" Havelock, uninfluenced by this self-made status as the voice of the city, and his progression through the series becomes a path of returning to that identity by shaping the city to reflect a measure of the idealism he once possessed.
