Can't remember where the post is- but someone said that there's not many conventionally main/POV characters in Discworld - the exceptions being Carrot and Angua.

I think there's two reasons for this;

1) According to Marc Burrows (one of Terry Pratchett's biographers), before Carrot's first appearance in Guards Guards, versions of them turn up earlier in the books- Tomjon in Wyrd Sisters, Hrunn the Barbarian in Colour of Magic, Victor in Moving Pictures. Same with Angua- Herrena the Henna-Haired Harridan from The Light Fantastic, Liessa in Colour of Magic, Conina in Sorcery, Ginger in Moving Pictures. This is because of-

2) Discworld is powered by narrative convention, and in most pulp heroic fantasy stories, you get the classic heroic figures of a noble, strong and true hero and the tortured but beautiful warrior queen. In Discworld, they're Carrot and Angua. Carrot has very pointedly decided NOT to pursue his Destiny and Angua is trying to find her own inner peace. They could rule as a classic barbarian power couple and, if this were a classic fantasy, they'd triumph together. But Discworld is where old fantasy conventions change, grow and settle.

“Does Mr Vimes know you’re doing this?’ ‘He sort of knows, yes. I said I’d like to start a club for the street kids and he said it was fine provided I took them camping on the edge of some really sheer cliff somewhere in a high wind. But he always says things like that. And I’m sure we wouldn’t have him any other way.’”

— Terry Pratchett, Jingo

Can you explain this gap in your blog history

I cannot relate to people who dislike female characters for “being manipulative.” She’s literally creative problem solving before your eyes. She’s literally just using her words. Maybe the other blorbos should be less pawn-like for her beautiful hands hmm

“Shiver My Timbers” from the Muppet Treasure Island soundtrack but I put the final gunshot back in so it’s not so anticlimactic

We often talk about "ludonarrative dissonance" in terms of morality and situations like "the story says violence is bad, but the gameplay enables and encourages you to kill things" but my actual fave version of it is "the story says you have a very serious plot-relevant time-sensitive thing to do, but the gameplay enables and encourages you to buzz off into the world and search for collectibles for five weeks"
