So uhhh I just started Discworld for the first time... Who could have ever guessed that I'd imprint on the weedy anxiety wizard LOL
Just some random moments I've been drawing while listening to the audiobooks.
1: "We should REALLY go somewhere else."
2: "You used all the pink ink! Only monochrome pictures now!"
3: "Come on down, it won't hurt :)"
"But there are causes worth dying for," said Butterfly.
"No, there aren't! Because you've only got one life but you can pick up another five causes on any street corner!"
"Good grief, how can you live with a philosophy like that?"
Rincewind took a deep breath.
"Continuously!"

And on that thought, I have a lot to say about the theme of identity throughout the Discworld in general. In every book, even the earlier, less dark ones, there’s a constant theme of being true to yourself and doing what you think is right, no matter what other people tell you, no matter what the world throws at you, no matter how life tries to wear you down.
It might be Rincewind just knowing he’s a wizard. It might be Granny Weatherwax standing in a world of mirrors and thinking it’s a trick question when she’s asked to identify which one is real, because obviously it’s her. It might be Vimes knowing he won’t let good men die even if history says that’s what happens, because it can never be what Sam Vimes says happens.
But the lesson is always the same: whoever you are inside, whatever you believe yourself to be, that is you, and nobody gets to steal that from you. Words in the heart cannot be taken.

“A lot of people would like to take after Cohen, I mean, he was the best fighter, the greatest thief, he—” “A lot of men would,” Conina snapped. She leaned against a wall and glared at him. “Listen,” she said, “There’s this long word, see, an old witch told me about it…can’t remember it…you wizards know about long words.” Rincewind thought about long words. “Marmalade?” he volunteered. She shook her head irritably. “It means you take after your parents.” Rincewind frowned. He wasn’t too good on the subject of parents. “Kleptomania? Recidivist?” he hazarded. “Begins with an H.” “Hedonism?” said Rincewind desperately. “Herrydeterry,” said Conina.
