Yo I Have A Boyfriend You Can't Be Saying That Kind Of Thing To Me.

Ruby’s birth mother naming her child

I was looking up Susan's family motto (for reasons), and I had forgotten just how many puns are in the dog Latin stuff Terry Pratchett does. Things like:

Quod Subigo Farinum as the family motto for the baker, translating to "Because I knead the dough."

Almost all of the guilds except for the MOST prominent ones have a joke as a motto. Reading the Plummer's Guild one was really funny.

One of Albert's line in Mort being Sodomy Non Sapians = Buggered if I know.

Like, I went looking for one thing and ended up reading the entire wiki article for Discworld's Latatian.

Idk, it's almost like he was a professional, knowledgeable, and talented comedic writer or something.

Horrible news everyone. My M*A*S*H obsession has been reignited after I saw a post about it yesterday.

Much like a rabid dog, the best thing you could do for me at this moment is put me out of my misery before I get too far.

Okay, but what does Vetinari do during Hogwatch? Does he go on business as usual? Do the clerks?

Because I feel like some otherworldly entity with villinous things in mind for Ankh-Morpork try to do an evil version of A Christmas Carol on him. Like, every year they try and every year he scares them away by just not putting up with it at all.

And Drumknott is the complete opposite of Bob Cratchett in every way.

Alright, since I'm 80% sure Doctor Who starts tomorrow, I'm locking in my crazy guesses on who Mrs. Flood is for the season. This is based off of nothing but vibes.

1. The White Gaurdian

My reasoning? Eldritch being in white. We've seen last season that Davies is pulling from Classic Who a lot, so why not someone pretty important to some of the otherworldly aspects of old Doctor Who?

2. Kronos

I'm still really bitter about the whole Sutekh and Ruby's mom thing tbh. I convinced myself that there was evidence that Kronos was Ruby's parent (they're a God, they don't really have a gender.) And since Sutekh called himself the God of Death, it would be funny if Davies brought in another being from Classic Who that was more neutral in their title of God of Death. And as you can see above, their form while on this plane of existence is white.

Also, it's almost 100% a thing that Flood's the one that took the gold tooth that housed The Master. In The Time Monster, Kronos was about to torture the Master for all eternity if the Doctor hadn't pleaded with them to show mercy. So maybe there's still some hard feelings?

And yes, both of these rely heavily on the fact that Flood was wearing all white for about thirty seconds in the Season 1 finale.

Genuinely tweaking rn. I'm so close to going back to my campus without any incidents. I just need two more days. Please.

Claude Rains Vs. Patrick Troughton

Propaganda

Claude Rains - (Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Wagon Train, Rawhide) - "The reason I got into Old Hollywood and started studying theatre and film! He's such a little cutie as well as a smoking hot, velvet voiced morsel of evil - he's that good and can play both so easily!..." text propaganda continued below the cut.

Patrick Troughton - (Doctor Who) - His version of the doctor is my absolute favourite.

Claude Rains:

While he might be more famous for his movie roles(like Casablanca, The Invisible Man, Lawrence of Arabia, Now, Voyager, and Mr. Skeffington to name a few!), he was also a television star in his own right! He had lots of guest spots on various shows but in the tv-realm, he's probably the most well known for his work for "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and was a frequent collaborator with Hitch himself, having the spotlight for five episodes! My favorite tv performance of his was playing Father Amion in the episode "The Horseplayer", where he plays the kindest priest who gets taken for a ride and it's so heartbreaking to see him in tears where he confesses that it's his fault the church's funds were used for less than better means (but it all works out in the end!). It's such an honest performance and it's a refreshing change from all his evil villians (but we love them anyway!) he'd done in the past. Another favorite performance of mine is his performance as Leonard Eldridge in the episode "The Door Without a Key", a seemingly amnesiac old man who makes a bond with a lost boy in a police station. They're adorable together and I found myself tearing up a little when they both confess how lonely they are in the world.

Patrick Troughton:

Were orcs ever mentioned again after Unseen Academicals? Like, we got to see golems and goblins civil rights expand throughout multiple books, but I don't remember orcs ever making a return appearance. Granted, I still haven't read every book in the series, but still...
