don't know where else to vent this thought but sergeant Jackrum and Nanny Ogg would get on like a house on fire once they both got over the fact that the other one is Foreign

You're SO right. The house is on fire because the alcohol they make together in a barrel spontaneously combusts when exposed to the open air. They drink it anyway. When they wake up 2 days later, neither remembers anything they did, save that it was fantastic fun and they're both a little sorer than they would've been 20 years ago.

so i'm relistening to Night Watch and like

Vimes is a Witch, right?

evidence:

can fade from view without really doing anything, much in the same way Granny Weatherwax can

second, third, and even Fourth thoughts, like Tiffany Aching

skilled in the use of Headology as demonstrated by his defusing of the crowd outside the Treacle Mine Road watch house and the interrogation of Ferret

even Vetinari thinks he wouldn't have been fooled by his advanced camouflage if he had been stood in Vimes' eyeline

Shawn took a deep breath and leaned over the battlements.

"Halt! Who Goes There?" he said.

A ringing voice came up from below.

"It's me, Shawn. Your mum."

"Oh, hello, Mum. Hello, Mistress Weatherwax."

"Let us in, there's a good boy."

"Friend or Foe?"

"What?"

"It's what I've got to say, Mum. It's official. And then you've got to say Friend."

"I'm your mum."

"You've got to do it properly, Mum," said Shawn, in the wretched tones of one who knows he's going to lose no matter what happens next, "otherwise what's the point?"

"It's going to be Foe in a minute, my lad."

"Oooaaaww, Mum!"

"Oh, all right. Friend, then."

"Yes, but you could just be saying that--"

"Let us in right now, Shawn Ogg."

I want to reread Lords and Ladies, but it's just gone spring in the Northern Hemisphere and that book really must be read in the summer.

Granny Weatherwax has such powerful Old West gunslinger vibes sometimes.

There's that moment in Carpe Jugulum where she makes her dramatic entrance at Lancre Castle and it's basically a CLASSIC Western. The town (Lancre) has been overrun by a gang of bandits (Vampires). They've taken the Mayor (Verence) and the Marshall (basically everyone else but let's say Shawn Ogg) and they plan to settle in and stay, controlling the town from now on (drinking everyone's blood etc). The doors of the saloon open. A figure in black stands framed against the sunlight. She can barely stand up, but she holds herself together, her hand hovering over the holster on her hip.

The stories have so many influences and of course the comparison falls apart later on as new influences enter and get woven in. But there's always a High Noon Weatherwax Showdown.

If I could draw, I would draw so many gunslinger Weatherwax AUs.

Food as an aphrodisiac was not a concept that had ever caught on in Lancre, apart from Nanny Ogg’s famous Carrot and Oyster Pie. Carrots so you can see in the dark, she’d explain, and oysters so’s you’ve got something to look at.

"What are we doing at a pumpkin farm of all places again?" (Esme)

"Dunno.... Halloween..?" (Gytha)

"Halloween?? It's January!" (Esme)

"Halloween is a state of mind, as you very well know. No need to be fastidious about it. " (Gytha)

"Fastidious, huh....? Well, that's me told. What's with Magrat anyway? Wasn't all this her idea?" (Esme)

"I can hear you, you know. And yes, it was. But... I don't know... All these pumpkins make me uncomfortable for some reason...." (Magrat)

so this is happening............. and idk what to feel about it instagram. com/p/CwcMuiTIx_x/

like, great that there's a bit of a spotlight on that bit of history not a lot of people know of but then........ when the first word in the subtitles is wrong, i fear about how much stuff in that show will be wrong as well 🫠🫠

Kaixo!

The trailer of the mini series:

Yes, the very 1st word is wrongly subtitled: the little girl says amatxi (granny) and they write Machie... Whatever that is.

Of course as usual no Basque is to be found among the cast and crew. They even casted a Spanish actress - the lady at the stake, name Ángela Molina - which is surprising.

This looks so bad. One of the reasons De Lancre had to burn Basque people was that our language was evil, and still the "witch" speaks her last words in perfect French. Language that was only used in the northern half of France and official documents, even trials weren't in French.

Also I've read that it focuses on 3 sisters that work as healers and help with abortions, when De Lancre burnt innocent people with no evidence - moral or inmoral by then or nowadays standards - against them 🤷. They were healers, peasants, housewives, no matter who. It was a literal ethnic cleansing.

😩
