Spoilers for The Shepherd's Crown, the last published Terry Pratchett/Discworld book (Other than a few short story collections)

In that book, the Elf queen loses her station, and begins a redemption arc. She does well! This vicious bastard of a conquering monarch tries her best to be nice, and it works!

Until her former second in command kills her.

That's probably the single character across those forty something books I despise most, because he ruined redemption.

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up.

Oviraptors are so sad

Like the name if memory serves means 'egg thief' or something along those lines, because they were mostly found amongst eggs. So they try to eat a bebe, death, ironic fate, right?

Those were their nests. They died trying to protect their eggs, and were named thieves for it. Look up a picture of an oviraptor and think nice thoughts into prehistory, they deserve it

Fun lil reminder: wooly mammoths used to exist, and we may soon get the bootlegs
