"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)

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.

The Carpe Jugulum coven! Maiden, mother and (extremely unwilling) crone. Nanny gains all of Granny's extra wrinkles and dark circles when she's not here. Marks the first time I used a brown gel pen that does not - and this is very important - leak all over the page, and also the first time I bothered to scan my doodles instead of using my crappy laptop camera.

ROUND 1 - GROUP A
Propaganda under the cut
Granny Puckett
if hoodwinked wasnt so obscure i truly think she would be a tumblr icon. she has a baking imperium she does extreme sports she saved red riding hood and the forest by blowing shit up. defeats capitalism.
voiced by glenn close
Granny Weatherwax
She's good but not nice, she's a witch, in the maiden/mother/crone trio she's the crone, she's powerful and intelligent (although not booksmart), she's an inspiration and a terror to everyone in Discworld.
The Hag ‘o Hags, she is the leader of her small coven in Lancre holding the role of “crone”.
She’s saved the world many times, with tea and bees and other haggish delights.

The Witches Tournament Final! Sarah "Granny" Aching vs. Petulia Gristle!
My apologies that I didn't post this yesterday - my health wouldn't let me. Here it is now, the grand finale of our Witches Tournament! I know I barely need to introduce our two contestant, but just for completeness' sake, here they are:
Sarah "Granny" Aching
Sarah "Granny" Aching (née Grizzel) would never have called herself a witch. She was a shepherd; she took care of sheep, and the Chalk where they grazed, and others who lived there, including the Nac Mac Feegle. While she was alive, shepherds would seek out Granny Aching to get help for sick sheep. After her death, they sometimes used to leave packets of Jolly Sailor tobacco where her hut used to be, with a wish. The Feegles dealt with the tobacco end of the business (after allowing a decent period for her to take it if she wished).
Petulia Gristle
Petulia is a friend of Tiffany Aching and is being tutored by "Old Mother" Blackcap. She is particularly talented with pigs and, as a result, gains the nick-name "the pig witch". Her talent also wins her a spot at the Witch Trials, where she performs the pig trick. What this trick actually is is not revealed. She is a member of the coven set up by Annagramma Hawkin. When with the coven, she has a tendency to mumble, stutter, and be extremely deferential, but when at work, she becomes self-confident and secure. This latter tendency appears to have found her a husband, the sort of stolid Lancre pig-farmer who values a woman's ability to tuck a pig under each arm, treat their ailments, and finally convert them to all the things pork is prone to becoming. Petulia is an expert at Pig-Boring, which is the most humane way of slaughtering an animal prior to sausage and bacon-hood. She simply chooses her animal, and then talks to it in a most earnest monotone voice about trivial things of parochial importance until its eyes close and it slumps to one side, having by then given up the will to live.

What if there was a timeline where somehow, the Lancre Coven had snagged up a genuine kingly heir, but they got the wrong lost their.
Introducing King Carrot I of Lancre.
Time adjusts to compensate, and a young man runs away from the fool's guild. Young, stupid, and desperate, he joins the Night Watch to find a secret order plotting Destiny, and some fates find their way to you no matter what.

I feel like the reason the Lancre covens never seem to last very long (Magrat leaves before 'Maskerade' and Agnes leaves somewhere between 'Carpe Jugulum' and the Tiffancy Aching novels) is because whoever fills the "maiden" role gets fed up of being treated like a general dogsbody and understandably leaves.
Heck, that's the reason why Agnes tried to avoid becoming a witch in 'Maskerade', because she knew fully well that she wasn't being scouted to make her a good witch, but because Granny and Nanny don't get along when it was just them and they needed a third person to mediate between them and make the tea.
Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure that Shaun Ogg has better job satisfaction as a general dogsbody than Agnes Nitt did. At least he got a polite 'thank you' from Verence and Magrat on occasion (which I imagine has something to do with both of them being treated badly by people in the past).
#discworld#agnes nitt#magrat garlick#discourse#i just read 'carpe jugulum' and i really don't like how agnes gets treated#especially by nanny#i usually like nanny ogg but not in this book#i kinda get the sense that nanny liked agnes a lot less than she liked magrat

Witches - Day Thirty-One - Coven
We finish up this year's challenge with the final prompt, coven. Naturally, I decided to go with the best coven, the maiden, mother, and... the other one, the Lancre coven.
So, here are Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat Garlick enjoying a night on the blasted heath.
I have mixed feelings about this challenge. Creatively, either due to the limitations of the challenge, or not having as many ideas as I'd liked, I wasn't happy with it. While there were several pieces I'm very happy with, there weren't as many as would have liked.
But technically, doing this as a way to get a month's worth of watercolor laps and pushups, it's a huge success. I'm back to my usual level of comfort with the tools and whatever I may think of the content the quality of the pictures improved exponentially.
I can't wait to sit down and do some real pictures.

I’d kill for Discworld and Owl House Crossover. The idea of Tiffany Aching and Luz Noceda becoming friends is so adorable, and Eda meeting the Lancre Coven would be amazing. Her and Nanny Ogg would definitely hit it off, though I’m not too sure she’d get along with Granny Weatherwax. I can either see them bonding over their apprentices becoming friends or fighting because they’re both stubborn af with very opposing views on magic. Let’s be real, we all know Granny would probably dislike most of the magic done in the Boiling Isles since it kind of borders on wizard magic and “occult nonsense” when compared to the witchcraft she prefers. Eda would probably think Granny is too uptight and get annoyed by that testing thing she always does with everyone, and you can bet she wouldn’t do that witch thing where they act overly polite and formal with each other when they really dislike someone. Eda can’t be having with that. If she hates your guts, she’ll tell you. She would probably be interested in that borrowing thing Granny does though.
Of course she’d love the Feegles, Eda would feel like they’d have a lot to learn from each other. Like, how to get into places or the joys of drinking apple blood.
Then there’s Willow and Magrat bonding over their plant knowledge and you can bet she’d be interested in learning about the Palismans too.
Lilith and Miss Tick would get along famously, I think. I feel like they share a lot of similar interests.
And could you imagine Agnes discovering Bard Magic?

Wyrd Sisters Tea Poll (Part 3)
We all know witches love tea. We also know they're practical, and therefore would probably prefer teabags over loose leaf. But what brand of tea, and what kind of tea would each member of our beloved Lancre coven prefer (if they lived in modern day UK)?
Lets finish with none other than - drumroll please -
Magrat Garlick
Even though the mighty herbalist, that Magrat Garlick is, would succumb to the (unspoken) peer pressure of the older members of the Lancre coven and drink black tea, she herself would probably prefer something slightly different. But what? Would she go with the calming camomile tea, a sweet strawberry and raspberry infusion, some green (plain, or jasmine) tea, an organic rooibos infusion, or maybe the trendy matcha?
Lets vote!
If you answered "Other", please specify in the comments/tags/wherever I might see it. Same goes if you want to add anything about your choice, tea in general, the British and their habits, the Lancre witches, and so on and so forth.
Have fun!

✨Lupin III Discworld AU✨
Miscellaneous headcanons
Aka stuff that didn't fit in the other posts
If you have ideas, headcanons, or even just vague vibes, please do reblog or send me an ask!
///
Rincewind is terrified of Zenigata. He once got arrested because he was startled by Zeni yelling LUPAAAAAAAAAN! and started running for the hills, making Zenigata believe he was Lupin in disguise.
///
Detective Yata befriended Head Secretary Drumknott after his and Zenigata's first visit to the Palace. They competitively compare their respective bosses, share filing tips, and commiserate about pencil theft (a quirk that Lupin has unfortunately copied from Lipwig). Drumknott accidentally called Vetinari "Sempai" once.
///
Zenigata tried to arrest the Luggage once, before the Watch explained to him why he shouldn't (apparently the Luggage eating his hat wasn't enough to deter him).
///
Lupin made Jigen one of those wristwatches that tell the phases of the moon (like the one Carrot made for Angua).
///
Lupin had a phase where he obsessively stole famous dwarf breads, prompting Carrot to ask to be assigned to the Lupin case with Zenigata.
///
The Gang adapting to the moon cycles and Jigen's transformations. Yeah. (I have a lot of feelings about werewolf!Jigen if you couldn't tell already)
///
The Thieves’ Guild and the Watch are competing to catch the Gang, but secretly Vimes is rooting for the Gang, because he dislikes Lupin only slightly less than he dislikes the Guild. Lupin knows at least a dozen different ways to escape from the Tanty (and has a hefty stock of Hope Spoons as a result). Vetinari probably planned to reassign him into public service, but has long since given up on the idea, and now only tolerates him as Enrichment for Lipwig.
///
For Jigen's birthday, every year Lupin steals a public figure's hat. Jigen returned Mustrum's hat (a custom wizard hat with drawers, a crossbow and an alcohol flask in it) the next day. The theft of Lipwig's golden winged postman cap lead to Adora-Belle claiming she didn't recognize him. Lupin's next target is Srgt. Detritus' ventilated helmet. (He hasn't tried to steal Vetinari's skullcap yet, probably because he retains a smidge of survival instinct.)
///
For Goemon's birthday Lupin raids the Assassin's Guild's museum of historical weapons, and pilfers anything that has a blade.
///
Jigen's greatest dream is to shoot Detritus' Piecemaker.
///
The Gang visits Lancre in an expedition to steal... I don't know what. There isn't much to steal in Lancre. They meet the local coven and Nanny Ogg starts hitting on Lupin. (I'm still unsure whether Lupin reciprocates, that would honestly be hilarious).
///
Zenigata regularly enlists Angua's help to track down the Gang. He's one of the rare outsiders to the Watch who's allowed to know that she's a werewolf. Angua has a personal rivalry with Jigen, who's constantly teasing her when they meet in human form.
///
Jigen and Bengo Macarona are exes. (Actually, would it be funnier is Bengo is Jigen's or Lupin's ex? He's Quirmian so it would make sense that he's met Lupin, but also he's a soccer player and he is JACKED.)
///
Goemon's Zantetsuken is a talking sword (like Kr!ng in The Color of Magic). Its personality is the living embodiment of Bushido, and it is extremely annoying. Fujiko stole it and ran from Agatea thinking she could make a fortune from it, but it kept insulting all her potential buyers. She was about to throw it in the Ankh when Goemon finally caught up with her. The Gang have threatened to throw it out the window countless times during long carriage rides. It's part of the reason why Goemon typically sits on the roof, and why Fujiko only rides on her horse golem and not in the carriage.
///
Again, if you have ideas, headcanons, or even just vague vibes for this AU, please do reblog or send me an ask!
#for those who haven't read unseen academicals: bengo macarona is a canonically queer (bi i think?) wizard who plays soccer and has 20 PHDs#lupin iii discworld au#lupin iii#discworld

I always think of Rincewind as the default wizard in my mind whenever I see wizardposting on here. like super incompetent, no real magical ability he's just got a sentient spell from the creation of the universe possessing him by accident and occasionally in times of great danger it threatens to escape his body and alter all of reality in a destructive way. that's how tumblr wizards are to me. I don't think any of them have any idea what they're doing but they like to pretend they do and wear silly hats.
tumblr trans girls on the other hand are all like the Lancre witches coven.

Miss Level vs. Petulia Gristle
Miss Level
Miss Level is a research witch, with one mind but two bodies (this makes the household chores a lot easier). She studies old magic and spells to find out what makes them work. Her main work is the daily round visiting the sick, the pregnant, the old, mostly doing medicine, sharing and learning gossip. Miss Level summarises the process as "Filling what's empty and emptying what's full." People will give Miss Level gifts, of food often. What she doesn't need she passes on to others who are going through a bad patch, or who don't have anyone to remember them. She calls it storing food in other people. When Tiffany asks if she would stop helping people who were too mean to pay, Miss Level is genuinely shocked. "A witch never expects payment and never asks for it and just hopes she never needs to. You can't not help people just because they're stupid or forgetful or unpleasant. Everyone's poor round here. If I don't help them, who will?"
Petulia Gristle
Petulia is a friend of Tiffany Aching and is being tutored by "Old Mother" Blackcap. She is particularly talented with pigs and, as a result, gains the nick-name "the pig witch". Her talent also wins her a spot at the Witch Trials, where she performs the pig trick. What this trick actually is is not revealed. She is a member of the coven set up by Annagramma Hawkin. When with the coven, she has a tendency to mumble, stutter, and be extremely deferential, but when at work, she becomes self-confident and secure. This latter tendency appears to have found her a husband, the sort of stolid Lancre pig-farmer who values a woman's ability to tuck a pig under each arm, treat their ailments, and finally convert them to all the things pork is prone to becoming. Petulia is an expert at Pig-Boring, which is the most humane way of slaughtering an animal prior to sausage and bacon-hood. She simply chooses her animal, and then talks to it in a most earnest monotone voice about trivial things of parochial importance until its eyes close and it slumps to one side, having by then given up the will to live.
