#life timers

[pratchettquotes]

The lifetimers of most people were the classic shape that Death thought was right and proper for the task. They appeared to be large eggtimers, although, since the sands they measured were the living seconds of someone's life, all the eggs were in one basket.

Rincewind's hourglass looked like something created by a glassblower who'd had the hiccups in a time machine. According to the amount of actual sand it contained--and Death was pretty good at making this kind of estimate--he should have died long ago. But strange curves and bends and extrusions of glass had developed over the years, and quite often the sand was flowing backwards, or diagonally. Clearly, Rincewind had been hit by so much magic, had been thrust reluctantly through time and space so often that he'd nearly bumped into himself coming the other way, that the precise end of his life was now as hard to find as the starting point on a roll of really sticky transparent tape.

I've always been curious to know this about the people around me. Most people have been in severe pain, but in my experience few have had what they would say is their 10/10 experience. I guess it's just something I find fascinating, as I had my 10/10 experience quite young and I sometimes forget that not everyone has. In my opinion it changes your relationship with pain and how you engage with it afterwards. If you answered yes, feel free to elaborate on your circumstances in the tags!

thing of mild fascination to me: we got exactly no deaths to the timer alone this season as best I can tell? everyone died to something specific that killed them, rather than simply running out of time alone. and while having a low timer DID lead to a number of those deaths, no one’s clock counted down those last seconds.

almost makes me feel like the timer wasn’t the thing killing them at all.

(Just to be 100% clear, pro-shippers should block me, especially if those ships involve kiddos.)

Also, an alt version below with my AU version of Vanessa (Ava) -

(Flipped because all her scars from the wreck and subsequent surgeries are on that side.)

I didn't add the scars she gets during the last few chapters of Breached since they aren't out yet and that's Spoilers.

My main lament is that I drew this on my phone and the app I use doesn't have a good tool I can use for freckles, so the freckle-to-lady ratio is way lower than my headcanon...

"this painting..."

(pre-step4) Because even if Ruri isn't a model, she still has ways of unknowingly torment Baxter♪

What if I set a timer and just stop drawing no matter what once it goes off?

i love team ties. you took all the redstoners on the server, gave them an Emotional Support Skizzleman, and now theyve blown up a major server landmark with a perfectly executed plan and ridiculous amounts of tnt. and now all three of the ones who are not skizz have the highest timers of everyone.

theyre menaces and its the best

you know an interesting thing about this series is… people won’t die their last time because they were killed. I mean, some of them will, I’m sure of it, but I think people will also die far from the last thing that stole time from them. maybe the last time anyone killed them was last episode, and they just fail to thrive this time, fail to claw anything back. their death is still the culmination of everything that happened earlier, sure. they were still killed, is the thing. but not in the immediate, bloody sense. in the way of getting a wound they never recovered from.

anyway that’s gonna make the guys who make spreadsheets have a much harder job sorry guys,

Embracing my inner milf the best I can 😭🥲

if life is categorized by Before Loss and After Loss then I exist in the before but with a countdown to the after. and the countdown is always always present and debilitating. the loss will be debilitating too but i cant help myself. i will always suffer twice.
