Yeah, the pic has many bugs, but i’m sort of tired of drawing it already, so the chances i’ll fix them are slim… Anyway. I still have this headcanon where Missy cures Doctor’s blindness. That would be waaay cooler than the Monks thing.
‘Why not?’ declared the woman. ‘I’m impulsive. You’re impulsive. And I brought a cake.’ She took her hat off and looked inside it and then frowned. ‘Well. Maybe I ate the cake. Anyway.’

There’s this emperor, and he asks the shephard’s boy, “How many seconds in eternity?” The shephard’s boy says, “There’s this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it. And an hour to go around it. Every hundred years, a little bird comes. It sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiselled away, the first second of eternity will have passed.” You must think that’s a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird.
I couldn’t find any Discworld reading order guides with art, so I did a thing! Pen and colored pencil on paper. Please reblog if you share, don’t repost.
Do you enjoy orangutan librarians? Angry witches with frying pans? An incredibly sexy educated and effective tyrant? Truth? Justice? Freedom? Reasonably priced love? Hard boiled eggs?* Then you’ll love Terry Pratchett’s Discworld!
If you’re not sure where to begin, a lot of people recommend:
1) City Watch series beginning with Guards! Guards! (sarcastic policeman forces social justice on his city and the world)
2) Tiffany Aching series beginning with The Wee Free Men (angry girl teams up with tiny, equally angry Scottish fairies to save her home and become a witch)
3) Death series beginning with Mort (anthropomorphized Death loves human inventions and cats, occasionally interferes in human affairs with wild results)
What’s your favorite order? I myself started with Going PostalandMaking Money (both of which I LOVE), then tackled City Watch, Death, and some others from there (I haven’t finished all the other books yet)!
*Outlandish Monty Python-esque humor and head-scratching footnotes?
Sam Vimes, Carrot Ironfoundersson, Fred Colon and Nobby Nobbs
I finally scanned my Discworld Inktober drawings from last year, because I’m getting them printed into a zine! Here’s the first four, because of course I started with the four original Night Watch members from Guards! Guards! Fun fact: for some reason, Colon got the most likes out of any of these drawings when I posted them on Instagram. I guess The Algorithm™ really likes old Fred for some reason.
Make way for one of Discworld’s saddest scenes at all, ladies and gentlemen.
“A shadow appeared in the doorway.
Detritus walked in.
They looked at the limp shape in his hands. He laid it carefully on a bench, without saying a word, and went and sat in a corner. While the others gathered round the mortal remains of Acting-Constable Cuddy, the troll removed his homemade cooling helmet and sat staring at it, turning it over and over in his hands.” - Men at arms.
