One just has to love a woman who tells a massive murderous dragon to "Sit!".

Lady Sybil, I love you so

[winter2468]

We talk about how quickly Vimes had it down bad for Sybil, but can we also appreciate that five foot nothing of scrawny alcoholic turned up at Sybil's door and she was immediately like "help me with my dragons. let's have tea. did you know my ancestors fucked severely? gosh you're a captain, how dashing." When Vimes was injured she could have had him put in her spare bed but nope, she put him in her bedroom. And then she slapped his arse. Lady Sybil knew what she wanted.

family portrait :D young sam and sybil are behaving themselves and vimes is throwing a hissy fit because they tried to make him wear the helmet

[id: a digital painting of three people sitting for a portrait in a domestic interior. young sam is standing with his hands behind his back and beaming proudly. vimes is standing behind him with his hand on his shoulder, wearing a shiny military uniform and a surly expression. sybil is sitting on the right with an arm around young sam, smiling at the viewer. a plumed helmet is sitting on a table on the left. end id.]

Every step I choose to take begins to set the world aflame!

And the soldiers march behind me,

I can hear them beat their spears!

And for the first time in all my life,

I know I'm more than what I fear!

Happy Glorious 25th of May!

If there's one thing about Terry Pratchett, he sure knows how to write a romance between World's Lamest Dude and Woman With Autism

Vimes needs some rest.

I am Carrot. Is the exhibit on a different continent? I'll still be excited about a good museum exhibit.

"I have to tell you, sir, that Lady Sybil has found out about the bacon sandwich arrangement. She said to tell you the game was up, sir."

"I am the commander around here, you know," said Vimes, with as much hauteur as he could muster on an empty stomach.

"Yes, sir. But Lady Sybil has a very quiet way of being firm, sir."

"She has, hasn't she," said Vimes as they strolled toward the building. "I'm a very lucky man, you know," he added, just in case Carrot may have got the wrong impression.

"Yes, sir. You are indeed."

Terry Pratchett, Thud!

[snippit-crickit]

recently i read Guards!Guards! by Pratchett and it brings me great joy to draw out the characters, i will now proceed to throw these at you

Colon!

Sybil,,, i love her, how can i not love a crazy dragon lady ((thats also a big lady))... I like the idea that her brows are tiny because they get burnt by dragons so often

Carrot i also love him

+Big woman Sybil with no wig

[potato-lord-but-not]

catch me if you can !!

[jellymish-art]

Prompts time! Had a couple requests for Lady Sybil! And then I added Vimes! And then it got rather romantic <3

I like to think this is just after they get back home, after some sort of official to-do (I imagine the helmet with plumes and the wig are discarded somewhere in a corner XD)

@stuffbyshelby2 and @koncussionkat, thanks for the Sybil prompts!

 "I always think we can all sleep safer in my bed knowing that these brave men are watching over us,“ said Lady Ramkin, walking sedately along the rank, like a treasure galleon running ahead of a mild breeze...for a moment the rank felt as though they had just returned from single-handedly conquering a distant province. They felt, in fact, tremendously bucked-up, which was how Lady Ramkin would almost certainly have put it and which was definitely several letters of the alphabet away from how they normally felt."

-Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!

More Cheery Littlebottom, talking to Vimes (her commanding officer, hence the "sir"):

"Is that what you'll be wearing, Cheery?" "Yes, sir." "But it's just... ordinary dwarf clothes. Trousers and everything." "Yes, sir." "But Sybil said you'd got a fetching little green number and a helmet with a feather in it." "Yes, sir." "You're free to wear whatever you want, you know that." "Yes, sir. And then I thought about Dee. And I watched the king when he was talking to you, and... well, I can wear what I like, sir. That's the point. I don't have to wear that dress. I can wear what I like. I don't have to wear something just because other people don't want me to. Anyway, it made me look a rather stupid lettuce." -- Terry Pratchett,The Fifth Elephant (emphasis on "don't" added by me because I think it's important)

One of the many things that Sir Terry was excellent at is writing characters that start out as caricatures, and end up being the realest people ever. Cheery Littlebottom, who by the name is obviously a throwaway ridiculous character. And dwarfs in general (on Discworld, dwarfs and humans are two of many intelligent species) are absurd. Dwarfs sing songs about gold, they make inedible bread that's mostly used as weapons, they all have beards and wear helmets and carry axes. And yet. By the time you finish the book, real.

Now about Discworld dwarfs and gender. In dwarf society, gender is largely ignored and almost irrelevant; all dwarfs use the same pronouns, dress the same, do the same jobs. Gender-based discrimination can't even exist! I mean. Women in the real world have been fighting for this sort of equality for decades, right?

But it's not quite right. There's "equal," and then there's "being exactly the same as everyone else." So there are dwarfs who rebel against the homogeneous status quo by choosing to use different pronouns (she/her), and wear dresses and makeup.

Gender expression! It's a battle against the old ways, but dwarfs are good at fighting.
