Do you do the thing I do, where I jutst want to SHAKE him and be like “IF YOU JUST MADE FRIENDS WITH THE LUGGAGE YOUR PROBLEMS WOULD BE OVER?” because the luggage is bad ass.

opening of this fic i seem to be writing:
There is a little game Lord Vetinari plays with himself…ah, well. There are many little games Lord Vetinari plays with himself, because reality would be summarily boring otherwise; this particular game is simply one he plays more often than not, if only because it comes up so often. There is much to be learned, Vetinari has discovered, by the typical Ankh-Morporkian’s view of Ankh-Morpork....
DECLARING IT DISCWORLD DAY

why don’t you like the rincewind novels, just out of curiosity?
Mostly because I dont like Rincewind :D It’s not his fault! I’ve just never found that particular schtick all that appealing; it just doesn’t work for me.

Thom is many things (arrogant, impossible, brilliant, a terrible brother, he supposes he could carry on all day), but he has never been stupid. He is aware from the moment the Conté Duke’s eyes open that he should have left them closed; there are some things that anyone can see, Master of the Mithran Light or no.
“Ah,” Roger says, “Trebond,” and Thom...

found myself an old solution [jim/seb]
Jim’s voice careens around corners and shatters glass, cracks hard on rough edges and slithers in where it’s not invited. Jim talks like he fucks like he works, which is to say: hard, except when circumstance calls for something else. Jim rolls vowels the way Seb rolls cigarettes, one after the other, staining the pads of his fingers.
He’s not dead, because legends don’t...

limit-the-sky asked: Do you believe that jealousy is a sign of love or a sign that he/she thinks he/she possesses you? There are so many stories out there, where the main love interest (if the protagonist is female) will act insanely jealous over every little thing and the reader is expected to believe that this means the love interest is head over heels for the protagonist, but... it always makes me think more that...

“Once,” says Professor Tom Riddle, “this class was called Defense Against The Dark Arts. Can anyone tell me why?”
A hand raises towards the back of the classroom; Riddle turns, and sighs. It’s the Pettigrew boy, who is—based on Tom’s initial impression of him—going to be a discredit to Slytherin House. Minerva insists that it is unseemly for him to...
