for real! (from kadji amin)

What I’ve realized is that I believe that the matter of gender is practical and relational. It’s not about who you are inside, it’s more about how you would feel most comfortable in the world. It’s not ‘Who are you?’ but 'How do you want to live?’
Had that been the discourse when I was coming up, I would have breathed a sigh of relief. I don’t have to figure out who I am on the inside, I just have to figure out how I want to live.

I love how a lot of Vetinari's schemes and methods are just...giving characters something to do. He could have told Vimes about the dungeon key, but he was having so much fun breaking out! He could have revealed he had already solved the mystery of the poison, but that would be cruel! Moist was out committing mass fraud and Vetinari redirected him to a post office like a pet owner moving their cat from the furniture to a scratching post. And when Moist got bored again, handed him a new government office.
Vetinari, tyrant dictator, at various bastards: They need enrichment!!!
if i had a nickel for every time a stone mason handed me a bunch of oyster shells from the 18th century that they just dug up while repairing sidewalk, i’d have eight nickels
those first couple weeks after escaping a time loop have gotta be disorienting as all fuck. all those little cues that used to tell you what's about to happen are now triggers that cause you to brace for something that isn't coming. you have to relearn the permanence of death -- hell, you have reacquaint yourself with the entire concept of finality altogether. everything keeps changing but it never changes back and you keep having to remind yourself that this is normal. "it won't reset anymore," you echo to yourself, over and over and over, like a broken record, like you're still trapped in a loop, like someone who escaped the time loop but was doomed to bring it into the future with them
Contrary to popular belief, there are three states a cat in a box might be: Alive, Dead, or Bloody Furious.
