I read the Moist books before I ever read the watch books but going back and rereading Going Postal after the watch books is SO funny because Vimes is barely in it at all but you know he is absolutely losing his mind in the background. Like he’s dealing with the murder of John Dearheart (and other clacksmen) that they can’t pin on Gilt yet, the past five guys that tried to be postmaster all died mysteriously in the span of like two months, and then this guy comes out of fucking nowhere and fixes all that shit in like a week, during which the post office burns in what was CLEARLY another murder attempt but this new guy won’t admit that to the watch. Vimes must have been seething this whole time

It’s even funnier if you assume that he knows that Moist was Albert Spangler because he’d be even more furious

I remember reading Squire for the first time amd just loving the change in tone between the Page's Wing in the Palace and the King's Own, and just going "I love this for her." Raoul and Kel as teacher and student and Kel as a welcomed and valued member of the King's Own are some of my favorite dynamics.

“He never forgot. He just put the memories away, like old silverware that you didn’t want to tarnish. And every year they came back, sharp and sparkling, and stabbed him in the heart.” ― Terry Pratchett, Night Watch

[Angua] said, ‘Billy Slick doesn’t sound much like a goblin name?’ 

Billy made a face. ‘Too right! Granny calls me Of the Wind Regretfully Blown. What kind of name is that, I ask you? Who’s going to take you seriously with a name like that? This is modern times, right?’ 

He looked at her defiantly, and she thought: and so one at a time we all become human – human werewolves, human dwarfs, human trolls… the melting pot melts in one direction only, and so we make progress.

Snuff, by Terry Pratchett

Many people could say things in a cutting way, Nanny knew. But Granny Weatherwax could listen in a cutting way. She could make something sound stupid just by hearing it.
