The silly vampire man in the style of Quentin Blake, why not?

i don’t think there’s ever been a funnier minor character than otto discworld. he’s a vampire photographer whose fantasy camera involves hitting a salamander on the head until it explodes into light in which otto- because of the light- either a) screams and falls to the floor before getting up like nothing happened or b) immediately turns to ash and has to wait for someone to bring him back with dog food. oh and the fantasy camera is just an imp painting really really fast

i've been meaning to make a post about this for awhile, so here's one of my favorite little monstrous regiment bits/hcs. we know that vampires can somehow 'sense' someones sex from the bit with the charcoal burners (unless they're old). this gives some insight into how mal knew about all the girls in the squad from the jump. the fun bit comes from their interactions with otto. if mal can sense this stuff, surely otto can as well? so why doesn't he say anything? he not only doesn't out any of them, but even explicitly respects their chosen genders (i.e. when he says "no more mr. nice coffee drinker guy.")

there are a few options here i think:

a) he just is a vampire who knows how to mind his own business. kind of odd to be a photojournalist with a healthy sense of that, but stranger things have happened.

b) he has a similar feeling to when polly asks mal if he's going to do anything about the girls in the squad, and mal says, "why should i do anything about anyone? i'm a vampire officially pretending not to be one right? i'm the last person who'll say anyone has to play the hand they were dealt." otto also knows what it's like to change something about yourself to go where you want to in life, and he's not about to ruin it for the squad.

c) of course, the most fun conclusion to this is that otto is also trans. i don't have a copy of the truth on me, so i'm fuzzy about what otto has shared about his origins, but i don't think it would be a stretch for him to have felt similarly confined by vampire gender roles as mal and gone off to the city to take his pictures. (also i just realized otto would be a really fitting chosen name for him, since he loves ph(otto)graphy...)

anyways i don't think i've seen people discussing this topic on here before and i think about it a lot when i'm rereading! so i thought i'd share :3

Image description: three pictures of a digital painting. The first is the full painting which shows Sacharissa Cripslock, William de Worde and Otto Chriek working in the print room of the Ankh Morpork Times newspaper. Sacharissa is a thin young woman with dark skin, eyes and hair and a dress covered in ink smudges. She’s picking up sheets of paper from a desk in the foreground and glancing at the other two, looking tired and a little annoyed. Otto is a thin, pale young man with dark hair. He’s wearing full evening dress without the jacket and a black ribbon around his arm. He’s leaning back against a work table and peering critically at a photo over the top of his sunglasses. At the same table sits William, a thin, young white blond man. He’s bent over his work, covered in ink and he looks frustrated and angry. The room is messy and full of printing equipment and trash. There’s a half eaten rat sandwich, a war axe on the wall, part of a rocking chair in a corner and a sign on the wall that reads “your mother does work here clean up your own mess”. Morning sunlight shines through the window. The other two pictures show close ups of William, Otto and Sacharissa. End ID. The truth shall make ye fred. Quite pleased with this one, and with my first attempt at using the CSP perspective tool! (Buy the print here!) commission info - patreon - ko-fi - youtube channel - buy prints
