1.21 Jigawatts of Random Silliness

#one day an igor forgets the lock the cage and a pack of penises escapes into ankh-morpork#the watch spends the next three weeks rounding them up

Everyone knew it was best not to look too closely at Igor's jars.

An unfortunate side effect being that a small girl, denied of her rightful need to be a Horse Girl by the limitations of being a native Ankh-Morpork child[1], would have adopted one of the larger Appendages of the pack and named it Free Willy. Her insistence that she could understand her pet through a bond of mutual sympathy was both touching and troubling, as was her announcement that Free Willy did not want to be attached to a governing body and forced into service, saddled with clothing, or made to perform tricks for audiences. With no Igor having the heart [2] to take it from her, the child was allowed to keep Free Willy, who lived for five healthy years in her family’s pigeon loft and eventually passed away from natural causes after a battle with another fighting cock. The child went on to write a well-acclaimed children’s book, The Willy that Would Be Free, which was, necessarily, a pop-up book.

This is the picture that comes up when you search “stable polyamorous triad”.

To explain! if you were fortunate enough to attend a Discworld convention while Sir Pterry graced this plane, you would receive an explanatory pamphlet with a picture of the gentleman up top. Said pamphlet explained that, while this gentleman looked very similar to our Guest of Honor, he was in fact a completely different person named Silas T. Firefly. You could easily tell him from Terry Pratchett by his lack of Mr. Pratchett’s signature hat. Silas was a private person who would appreciate being left alone as he attended the convention, like every other fan.

I truly wish the rest of us could pull off this level of grace and delicate handling of the “just a person”/“kinda famous” divide.

Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

reblog this everyone i wanna see what happens when op’s reverse-hubris forces them to practice basic self care.

These are the strongest nursing ear twitches I've ever seen.

And then there's the other one....

Ok so we all know about humans being deathworlds/space orcs as well as some people saying humans are space dogs or humans are space cats or humans are space fae.

That was actually fun. And when you are old, as I am, and you worry that your vocabulary is a thing of the past, actually quite reassuring.

Just 131 points shy of Mr. Gaiman’s score? I’ll take it!

Can someone help me find a specific funny video?
