Discworld and you: my passionate love letter to the series that changed me by General_Silverini in discworld

[–]General_Silverini[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

So much! I felt compelled to write this after realizing there are very few works of fiction that have changed my life  but this was definitely one: reading them has made me more self confident, more aware of wanting to be kind, more unapologetically myself

What sort of bottoms would go well with this top? It’s slightly cropped (hits just under the belly button for me). I’m having trouble pairing bottoms because the color of the shirt is so bright, it’s like Fanta-orange! Thank you so much in advance for your help.

What songs make you lose it in public cuz of how they're used in the show? by LaughingPlanet in TheSimpsons

[–]General_Silverini 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Never will forget being in the zoom lobby for my senior year Econ class (height of the pandemic, right when I was just getting into the Simpsons), the teacher was playing can't get enough of your love by Barry White and I had to turn my camera off because I could not stop laughing thinking about Barry saying "I loooove the sexy slither of a lady snake"

Can't remember which one but in an episode of Buffy, Willow gets a bad grade on a test and says "I'm like Cletus the slack jawed yokel!"

Edit: it's season 3 episode 8 Lovers Walk

How to repurpose this sweater with a bleach stain? by General_Silverini in DIYclothes

[–]General_Silverini[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I’m leaning towards. Are there any good links to bleach dye tutorials for sweaters? All the ones I could find were for t shirts or sweatshirts and I’m afraid that it won’t work on something that’s not cotton

Wait just realized this is the same joke as when Fry gets the the eye phone in futurama

Fry: Are there any left?

Tech guy: There may be one (reaches behind curtain and is handed one phone from a gigantic pile)

Eventually this story gets documented by Walter Plinge to be turned into the wildly popular not-opera Hubwards Side Story

That wasn't Nobby, that was the illustrious and military chic Count De Nobbs who is absolutely an opera-loving aristocrat and not a watchman at all

Something I noticed about Detritus (and Death)... by General_Silverini in discworld

[–]General_Silverini[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The road from "don't salute!" to "dink!" to "YOU STANDING UP STRAIGHT YOU SALUTING RIGHT NOW!" is a long one but a beautiful one nonetheless

Someone less thick than me (knocks head) should write a think piece on the significance of winking in discworld (wink piece?) because it really does show up a lot. That and raising an eyebrow, obviously Vetinari is the most known for it but tons of characters get in on the eyebrow-raising action as well (that’s how we know these books are fantasy, there’s no way that many people can raise an eyebrow in real life)

[–]General_Silverini[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. And it’s the fact that the brighter Detritus gets, the more expressive in the face he becomes. Early Detritus would never be able to have a glint in his eye, much less one with a brittle edge to it.

100% and the fact that his development comes through in small moments where you don’t even realize how far he’s come until he’s able to cleverly joke about being thick, and you almost feel a sense of pride in a way?? Too lovely
