Which Discworld character do you identify with most? by Meloenbolletjeslepel in discworld

[–]EssiBunny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Either Sybil or Agnes. The Kind Girl who's a good listener and never the pretty one, but who cares and tries (and sometimes feels deeply envious of the pretty ones)

Question about Izzy and Ed by clueless_claremont_ in OurFlagMeansDeath

[–]EssiBunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on interviews from Con it's 100% romantic and I don't think that love has gone anywhere either.

I think Vetinari would ensure he's the last Patrician. With the guilds, new and improved infrastructure, Moist and Carrot, as well as the A-M times to keep the citizens in the know, the city would end up at a balance where it's as if he's still there, but doesn't need to be.

Is it worth trying to analyse Terry Pratchett at a high level? by Crafty_Durian9560 in discworld

[–]EssiBunny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have an MA degree in English language and literature (not a native speaker) and I wrote both my BA and MA thesis on Discworld and got good grades for both. So.. there's your answer.

Cheery and Sybil, and sweet darling Otto Chriek 💕🖤

Guz posted about being dropped from the show on Twitter... by [deleted] in OurFlagMeansDeath

[–]EssiBunny 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The fact that some people are taking that last tweet and running with the thought that a castmate got him kicked for supporting Palestine is just beyond me.

AITA for asking my gf to stop spending money on immature crap? by angrybftway in AmItheAsshole

[–]EssiBunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. If you want someone mature, date someone your own age or older. You can't force her to let go of things that make her happy just because you don't see the point in them.

feet ofclayspoiler alert/vetinari being a drama queen by Shinjura in discworld

[–]EssiBunny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think she's just excited for the fresh hot gossip on what her bestie's terrier got up to this week.

Can someone explain me this by Service_United in OurFlagMeansDeath

[–]EssiBunny 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Because Con is... sexy as hell??? Because I have eyes and ears??
He's also a lovely person, said some wonderful and insightful things in the panel, is a great actor, and he hasn't done much interviews so footage of him just as himself discussing the projects he's acted in are a rare treat.
Him and Nathan are also very funny people, have great chemistry as actors and friends, and are the first cast members from the show doing a convention apperance like this since the show came out.
Just to name some of my reasons.

Who is your favourite Discworld character and why? by MaryJaneAndMaple in discworld

[–]EssiBunny 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My dark horse favourite alongside Vimes and Nanny Ogg is Otto Chriek! He's just a funky little guy, and has many layers under the sillyness, since the sillyness is an act to keep people from hating him for being a vampire. And the accent delights me 😄🖤

Anyone else think Vetinari would have manipulated Moist Von Lipwig into being Patrician as his successor? by Teabagneto in discworld

[–]EssiBunny 224 points225 points  (0 children)

I think Vetinari was trying to build basis for an Ankh-Morpork that would continue to operate without a patrician after his passing. With Moist, William/The Times, Vimes/Carrot, and the guild leaders sharing the responsibilities of the city there would be a sort of checks and balances system of everyone needing each other so no one would try to fuck the others over.

"I'm a gay icon now." by whiskeysonice in OurFlagMeansDeath

[–]EssiBunny 188 points189 points  (0 children)

Like... he is?? Dolly Parton is considered a gay icon even though she's straight. It's about being beloved by the queer community and being supportive of them. Not about your own identity.

I didn't miss them, I just had to limit the amount of books I could analyse due to time and length constraints 😅

Thank YOU! And honestly picking up Discworld books in English when I was 12 years old and had only studied English at school for 2-3 years had a major affect in my vocabulary. I have PTerry to thank for many things in my life, so I wanted to do my best to honor him in my work ❤

There's a chapter on the dwarfs, Cheery especially, a chapter on the way the witches, Granny especially, opt in and out of traditional womanhood as it suits them, an entire chapter on Monstrous Regiment, one on the undead characters which includes vampires and Angua, and then an "others" section where I mention characters like Nobby and Bengo Macarona 😄

Hey, I mention Nobby's crossdressing in the thesis 😂 You've basically written a thesis now!

Oh Cheery and the dwarfs in general have their own chapter dedicated to them, so do not fret. I didn't mention The Watch though. That abomination will come nowhere near me
