The beauty of Darcy is that she had no particular function in the story (apart from helping it pass Bechdel) but she was the best character.

I am also kind of loving the way she is everybody’s favourite wish-fulfilment self-insertion character in the fanfic. :D

I figured I might as well mark this inaugural post of my foray into Tumblr with something of tremendous stupidity. Thus!

Commander Sam Vimes is Ironhead (I was also considering Copperman or Stoneface).

Captain Carrot Ironfounderson is Captain Ankh-Morpork And Its Supporting Rural Environs.

Sergeant Detritus is The Incredible Splatter. It’s like a Hulk, only splattier.

Sergeant Fred Colon is Wowhawk, expert marksman whose arrows seek out dragons’ voonerables even - no especially - if it’s a million-to-one shot.

Captain Angua Von Uberwold is Blonde Wolf. She spends a lot of her time pissed off, not least because somehow ‘Blonde Wolf’ fails somehow to sound as sexy and mysterious as ‘Black Widow’ or ‘Scarlet Witch’.

Sergeant Cheery Littlebottom is (sorry) Phwoar.

They are brought together by the shadowy Havelock Vetinari, Agent of W.A.T.C.H. (probably) to protect the Disc from threats the like of which it has never - well, yet another cataclysmic threat, anyway.


The background elements which are stock, and the Tower of Art belongs to Jack Saxon.

Alex finally played Portal 2, and I was finally inspired to look up this song. Haven’t tried to understand the lyrics yet, but the arrangement is <3.

Well, I know one person who will be thrilled about this… no, wait, she’s fictional.

This is when I first started to love Reginald D Hunter.

Always going to reblog Reg.

Because he’s amazing.

I love David Mitchell’s ranty musing, because inaccurate similes are genuinely something that bothers me. You have to think these things through, people!

I hate this pervasive stereotype that nerds and/or pedants cannot get, or would even want, a “girlfriend”.

Um… That doesn’t look right.

[SPEND THREE HOURS LOOKING UP PERIOD-ACCURATE NAMES FOR AU-FIC (Fanfic Flamingo) SELF-SATISFIED]

The last time I did this I was looking for female names in the Heian period, and the end result was that I couldn’t find any because even the names we have on record were probably pseudonyms…
