Royalty pollutes people's minds, boy. Honest men start bowing and bobbing just because someone's granddad was a bigger murdering bastard than theirs was.

Quote
Here and there huge patches of fungi, luminous with decay, cast a faint glow over the ancient stonework.*
*It didn't need to. Cuddy, belonging to a race that worked underground for preference, and Detritus, a member of a race notoriously nocturnal, had excellent vision in the dark. But mysterious caves and tunnels always have luminous fungi, strangely bright crystals or at a pinch merely an eldritch glow in the air, just in case a human hero comes in and needs to see in the dark. Strange but true.

Vimes' meeting with the Patrician ended as all such meetings did, with the guest going away in possession of an unfocused yet nagging suspicion that he'd only just escaped with his life.

Cuddy helping Detritus realize he can count (and is actually a savant) is everything to me <3

He’d faced trolls and dwarfs and dragons, but now he was having to meet an entirely new species. The rich.

i forgot to put this here
i finished Men at Arms. Holy fucking hell, man.
The gun?? Leonard da Quirm (i think that's his name in Eng)??? Everything????
Im just gonna put a few quotes here, scroll if you don't want them
"I almost became just like him" "No sir. You put it down"
"If you /have/ to be on the wrong side if the arrow, pray that the one holding it is evil... A good man will kill you without a word" (plus this tying back to Carrot?????)
"Dogs were also meaner then wolves. Another thing they got from humans"
Not typing the whole thing, but Vimes' boot theory of socioeconomic injustice
"It's better to light a candle then to curse the dark" and latter on "Better to light a flamethrower then to curse the dark"
I apologise if it isn't exactly a quote, again im bot reading in English, feel free to correct me

OK. OK. Let's believe he's a good man. But his second-in-command - is he a good man too? You'd better hope so. Because he's the supreme ruler, too, in the name of the king. And the rest of the court... they've got to be good men. Because if just one of them's a bad man the result is bribery and patronage.
Men at Arms, Terry Pratchett

God I will never be over Cuddy and Detritus's friendship. I will never be over the clockwork thinking helmet. I will never be over Cuddy getting over centuries of prejudice long enough to learn how Detritus thinks and why he struggles so much and then go and create a solution for him.
