Turtle Recall: The Discworld Companion ...so far

@turtle-recall / turtle-recall.tumblr.com

On a world supported on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown), a gleeful, explosive, wickedly eccentric expedition sets out. There's an avaricious but inept wizard, a naive tourist whose luggage moves on hundreds of dear little legs, dragons who only exist if you believe in them, and of course The Edge of the planet... And the rest, they say, is history.

I’m still convinced this is the best thing I’ve ever made

“The Patrician always put Ridcully in mind of a predatory flamingo if you could find a flamingo that was black and had the patience of a rock.” - Mustrum Ridcully in “Reaper Man” by Terry Pratchett

“I should like you to think of me as … an angel”  - Lord Vetinari in “Going Postal” by Terry Pratchett

Lord, we know there is no good order except that which we create… There is no hope but us. There is no mercy but us. There is no justice. There is just us. All things that are, are ours. But we must care. For if we do not care, we do not exist. If we do not exist, then there is nothing but blind oblivion. And even oblivion must end one day. Lord, will you grant me just a little time? For the proper balance of things. To return what was given. For the sake of prisoners and the flight of birds. Lord, what can the harvest hope for, if not the care of the reaper man?

The wizards said that the University stood on magical ground and was therefore exempt from taxation and anyway you couldn’t put a tax on knowledge. The Patrician said you could. It was two hundred dollars per capita; if per capita was a problem, decapita could be arranged.

Why the Wizards don’t pay “taxes”, from Reaper Man, Discworld series, Terry Pratchett (via foxsdaybook)

He looked proudly at the Combination Harvester.  Of course, you needed a horse to pull it.  That spoiled things a bit.  Horses belonged to Yesterday; Tomorrow belonged to the Combination Harvester and its descendants, which would make the world a cleaner and better place.  It was just a matter of taking the horse out of the equation.  He’d tried clockwork, and that wasn’t powerful enough.  Maybe if he tried winding a–Behind him, the kettle boiled over and put the fire out. Simnel fought his way through the steam.  That was the bloody trouble, every time.  Whenever someone was trying to do a bit of sensible thinking, there was always some pointless distraction.

Terry Pratchett, “Reaper Man” (Foreshadowing for Raising Steam, which is twenty-nine books in the future.  Don’t worry, Ned Simnel, your son will follow your lead.)

Discworld Limericks

Rincewind There once was a wizzard subpar Whose only wish was to stay far From the danger and strife Of an int’resting life But trouble clung to him like tar.

Nanny Ogg There once was a woman named Ogg Who was really quite fond of her grog Though she was an old dear, It did well to stand clear When she started to sing of hedgehogs. Captain Carrot There once was a dwarf six feet tall Who was dearly beloved by all Although maybe a king He cared not for such things And just heeded the night watch’s call. Reaper Man Death once took a little vacay But the world very quick went cray-cray So he said “I’M THE REAPER THAT MAKES ME THE KEEPER OF THIS WORLD, SO I GUESS I MAY STAY.” Going Postal There once was a con man quite clever Who, thanks to the good hangman’s lever, Fell out of the noose And into good use In charge of the Post and its letters.

Monstrous Regiment A girl once went off to enroll With a vampire, some lads and a troll Though prepared to be warriors They saw naught but horrors In war and in old gender roles.

The Shades was the oldest part of the city. If you could do a sort of relief map of sinfulness, wickedness and all-round immorality, rather like those representations of the gravitational field around a Black Hole, then even in Ankh-Morpork the Shades would be represented by a shaft. In fact the Shades was remarkably like the aforesaid well-known astronomical phenomenon: it had a certain strong attraction, no light escaped from it, and it could indeed become a gateway to another world. The next one.
