Forests in the Sky

Vimes and Vetinari dialogues look great

they are flirting

"smiling nastily" 💀

This guy has never been serious about anything ever

I love when Vetinari messes up a common saying and Drumknott whispers the correct lingo to him

And i'm thinking, what if (similarly to how Vetinari consciously got poisoned to give Vimes enrichment) he makes a point to mix up the sayings to keep Drumknott attentive and make him feel useful

silliest guy in ankh-morpork

i hear he dyes his hair

Literally the first page, literally the first line, and we've got a footnote longer than the text, with its own footnote¹.

"Everyone is entitled to vote, unless disqualified by reason of age or not being Lord Vetinari" awards the book its First Laugh however.

(1: This is not a criticism)

how jingo went

close ups on his face, bc i like when hes holding on by a thread

Some stuff featuring Vetinari.

I love when people draw him with longer hair (I personally always imagined it to be short), so I like to headcanon him having had longer hair in the early books and prior to that!

what if lord vetinari got turned into a lizard again

vimes would you still love him if he was a lizard

it's been eons since i drew discworld fanart and it's based off verbal shitposting between me and my partner haha

bonus

Ваффлз

hehehe

For a guy who never really shows interest in anyone Vetinari sure gets shipped with a lot of people huh!

Inspiration image and the names the hands belong to under the cut

‘twist villain’ is always good of course but i’m such a sucker for ‘twist hero’. specifically as in they write a character to be as suspicious and unnerving as possible without really actually doing anything wrong yet but you just KNOW something is wrong but then surprise. they’re fine actually. all the alleged wrongdoings were either lies harmless or taken out of context. it’s even better if the suspicious aspects of their personality don’t go away after the reveal that they’re a good guy. they just act and look and talk like that for fun. they’re just a little silly

One more night watch thing))

Sometimes I remember this is canon

So we know Vetinari has his drama queen benevolent tyrant streak. I do believe it is pineapple. Do you believe in angels. Ah, Vimes. I am about to play a damsel in distress. Brb gotta juggle some knives and melons. Lurking in the shadows. I come from the city. Think of me as your future. Boo. Which is PEAK drama. Havelock calm down.

What I am saying is, bby Havelock absolutely was the most™ kid ever. He joins the Assassin's Guild. He excels, gets good grades. Madam Meserole spends the next few years listening to 'I wear darkness as my cloak' and 'I hide in the night' and him practising cringy phrases to send people away that have not developed into 'don't let me detain you' yet. He is trying out his dramatic entrances. He speaks like a posh middle-aged intellectual about to present his latest discovery to the council. He practises martial arts with cutlery. He accidentally breaks a vase with a kitchen knife and defends it with 'no improvement in skill comes without sacrifice'. He discusses his political opinions with ugly stray dogs. He comes home covered in mud and gods know what else after falling into Ankh while trying to balance on a rope. Madam keeps finding him on the rooftop dramatically sitting in the moonlight. He is twelve. He is adorable.

fucking fascinating to me how normal vimes and vetinari are about each other. like in the beginning they have this mutual antagonistic relationships which after the Events in the Dungeon turn into their famous psychosexual warfare and its like. they save each other from danger MULTIPLE times bc the city "cant afford to lose" the other. young havelock had a HUGGGE crush on keel who was VIMES. and he SAVED HIM and was his first fucking failed assignment do you UNDERSTAND?!?? and when vimes came back and his SON was born vetinari gifted him his old fucking watch house back and actively tried to spend time with him!??!!!?! and then there's vimes like what do you meannmn you were nearly frothing at the mouth when he was poisoned what do you MEAN its for the city you utter dumbfuck oh you can arrest literally anyone else but not HIM bc that's VETINARI you couldn't DO THAT?!!?! oh yeah oh SUREEEE sorry you're the only one who's allowed to kill him i forgot. why are they the way they are.
