Ask and ye shall receive, family.

Once the Watch regains some clout and starts being known as an actual force for good, people in trouble will be told to go to โ€œOld Stoneface of the Watchโ€ for aid.

Naturally, they assume itโ€™s Detritus.

Detritus always replies completely seriously: โ€œOh no! Datโ€™s not me. I am New Stoneface. Old Stoneface is my father.โ€

It doesnโ€™t help that Vimes tends to stroll up at this point, clap his sergeant on the arm and say โ€œIโ€™ll take it from here, son.โ€

been listening to beat the champ on repeat. pros: itโ€™s a great album. cons: Iโ€™ve begun singing โ€œIโ€™m gonna stab you in the eye with a foreign objectโ€ under my breath without meaning to

ankh-morpork is so great. awful fucking city. all the worst parts of every city you've ever visited (but mostly london). horrendous. i love it. 100/10 would never visit

originally on this post i was going to say "all the worst parts of london mixed with all the worst parts of new york" but then i was like. no terry pratchett was english and also i don't want to get (rightly) criticized for being american. but then i saw all these people in the tags being like "its fantasy boston" "its as much paris as london" "it reminds me of my home city rome" and i'm like you know what? you're right. ankh-morpork is Your city. it's whatever city you love and hate the most. that's what makes it so awfully fantastic

And the latter books set in it are centered around Vetinari (and others) trying to fix its infrastructure to make it a better place for everyone who lives there. Terry Pratchett wanted to see his city improved as much as possible before he had to leave our world.

Me, reading Discworld: Ankh - Morpork really gives Thessaloniki vibes.

Me, reading this post: Ah. It actually gives "Big ancient city trying to get with the times" vibes.

The Lion King: It is impossible to CGI photorealistic lions who can also emote!
