Have you ever drawn turtles?

I know Om is technically (in the form of) a tortoise but close enough

Oh, I love this so much!

When the books mentioned The Brass Bridge over The Ankh, I just imagined some insignificant and decrepit arch over a measly little creek, the notion that is was a large heavy bridge over a genuine river genuinely never occurred to me.

Stuff that helps you better visualise a world you're already so invested in is my favourite aspect of fan communities, you'd never get this kind of shared experience from just reading alone.

The Franklin Evening Star, Indiana, September 24, 1936

You know who I always thought could've made a great Captain Vimes in live action? Hugh Laurie.

What with Blackadder and Fry & Laurie he's got plenty of experience with silly comedy, but he can also manage the gruff, stone-faced seriousness that the character needs.

I dunno, maybe people think he's a bit too old now, but honestly?

I still think he could pull it off.

Got a bit caught up in the moment with all the "fuck Simon" posts yesterday after the episodes dropped. I kinda forgot about the part in book 2 when Grace told Jesse that they were going to wheel MT, and then proceed to sic the Flecs on her after she turned out to be too much of a hassle. And all this because they were trying to separate her from Jesse with no regard for his thoughts in the matter, or with any remorse for her at all. At the end of the day, Grace and Simon are both terrible people with a long way to go for any real redemption, and we've only been reacting so strongly against Simon because we've actually seen him kill a character we cared about.

Ultimately, I am still hoping that Simon won't go the way of Mace. Maybe he won't be fully redeemed, but I am still hoping for a change of heart, if for no other reason than because I'm not especially fond of "irredeemable" child characters. And in this case particularly I don't think I'd like it if they made the most explicitly traumatised character a straight-up villain. But we'll just have to wait and see.
