okay so that’s at least one person who would have no problem if they got sent back to medieval times, the guild hall absolutely going off to this mashup
Husband: That tune is really familiar.
Me: It’s the Pirates of the Caribbean theme.
Him: Ah.
Me: Mashed with Carol of the Bells. On a harp.
Him: *stares*
Me: Everything is on the internet somewhere.

ALTShe would hate this phrasing but my faith in the Church of Granny Weatherwax is being revived by this latest reread of the witches books. Her exchanges with Mightily Oats are so vital.

Omg this is SUCH a grandma thing. She’s totally okay with them being queer, she’s just upset that she can’t feed them her world-famous ham.
“Honey, you’re so thin! Are you eating enough at home? I really don’t agree with this whole ‘vegetarian’ thing, I’m worried about my grandbaby not getting enough protein!!!”
I don’t care you you fuck what clothes you wear your pronouns or what you so to your hair but WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WON’T EAT MY FOOD

i meant to make some big well-written post abt it but unfortunately my brain was otherwise occupied experiencing The Horrors so instead, have some wordvomit
this past monday marked twenty years since i went on a field trip to the library and ran my hand along a bookshelf in the children’s fiction section and found a book called So You Want To Be A Wizard* and brought it home and read it cover to cover in like. a day. and i couldn’t even begin to explain how that day has shaped my life but i do just wanna acknowledge it and say that i’m so glad my friend let me borrow her library card (cause i didn’t have my own yet) so i could bring the book home and i’m so glad my mum special ordered the rest of the series from the local independent bookstore almost immediately after i finished it and i’m so glad i discovered the forums and i’m so glad i found so many cousins on tumblr—including my best friend and platonic soulmate @astraldepths—and i’m so glad i got to help plan and execute crossingscon (twice!!) and that i got to meet so many of you in person—INCLUDING DD HERSELF—and i’m just. so glad i discovered this series
i have like twelve copies of SYW but i think my favourite is the twentieth anniversary edition (which is now, itself, twenty years old—wild), because it contains both the short story Uptown Local, which i adore, and an afterword by DD, which i have read entirely too many times. anyway, i wanna share a quote from that afterword, bc it seems fitting:
Wizardry, too, changes with the times, because its practitioners do…and indeed it must change, to keep up with the Lone Power, Itself never averse to using new means to Its old end. Even the Wizard’s Oath will seem to change from time to time, altering its appearance according to species, age, cast of mind, and (sometimes) simply according to where you’re standing, in time and space, when you examine it. But beyond that, as the series continues, I can promise that some things will always stay the same—the knowledge of a partner’s dependable friendship; a shared go-for-broke determination to get it right when the Universe is watching; and the glad adrenaline rush caused by the sudden incursion of the unexpected…as when you run your hand down a row of books on a library shelf and one of them catches your finger.
so yeah. in lieu of a more coherent post abt it, i just wanna say. thank you @dduane. for everything 💚
You’re ever so welcome. I’m delighted that the books were there for you…the order in which you found them (or were found) being, as we see, irrelevant.
Meanwhile you’re all going to have to excuse me now, as I seem to have something in my eye. :)
