Nobby Nobbs - Tumblr Posts

In case y'all didn't get this from the reposts, i read Feet of Clay. You know what that means

That's right, it's opinion and review time

Firstly, i would like to say i wish i didn't read this as the first Watchmen book, but it's whatever. Im currently reading Men in Arms, don't have Guards! Guards! available, but will eventually read that as well.

Back to the main topic. I absolutely love it. As always, Pterry ate and left no crumbs. I love every character, im loving Cheery's journey, as well as her and Angua together.

Since im new to the Watchmen, i was just surprised about all the titles, but also about Nobby being a noble. Turns out you can read it as a standalone and still think that. I really love Nobby casually jumping out the window to escape being king.

Some of my favourite moments were the one where Vimes spills the whiskey on the carpet and fakes being drunk. I also love him saying (im paraphrasing here) 'you made me spill perfectly good whisky. That's punishable by hanging' because honestly, iconic.

As I'm reading Men in Arms, im seeing that a repeating theme is revolution and the people(in charge) finding new kings when not needed.

Personally, i admire Vimes for not only his self-control, but also the ability and more importantly need to hold himself accountable. If i had to pick someone to look up to, it would be him. Well, a mix of him and Carrot.

I love Carrot because he's just this 6 foot dwarf that just takes things really literally and is an absolute sweetheart (but actually a badass inside).

I love Angua and her problem with self acceptance, to which i relate to in a certain level. How she handles herself when faced with prejudice, as well as how she holds Carrot accountable for his own prejudice (towards Cheery) is what makes her, well, her. It's what makes me love her, and aspire to be her to an extent (i would like to skip the self-esteem and acceptance part)

Also, Vetinari knowing what's happening all along but letting Vimes loose sleep and tear his hair out gave me mixed feelings - suprise, little bit of anger in Vimes' name, and others that I can't quite name.

All in all, 9/10 book, 10/10 humour as well as philosophy, and +2 for the iconic Vimes.

furry versions of Vetinari and his aunt???

“It’s just that... I mean, people might...” she began. “I mean... well, you know what people call men who wear wigs and gowns, don’t you?”

“Yes, miss.”

“You do?”

“Yes, miss. Lawyers, miss.”

“Good. Yes. Good.” said Angua slowly. “Now try another one...”

“Er... actors, miss?”

Angua gave up. “You look good in taffeta, Nobby.”

try to draw Fred Colon and Nobby Noobs from Discworld guards novels

Я обожаю стражу и мне жутко нравится дуэт Колона и Шнобби, особенно в "Патриоте" вместе с Витинари это было лучшее комедийное трио в истории >w<  вааа....но рисовать их жуткая головная боль -___- я сделала всё что смогла, вышло что-то странное... эта Бетти разрывает мне мозг

Т-Т

старый скетч, может теперь я могу лучше...

This may or may not be a bold claim, but I think the word 'charisntma,' coined in Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett to describe Cpl Nobbs describes Spamton G Spamton perfectly.

I picked Dorfl, but I also think Colon and Nobby would be a good pick - they'd do the wrong thing at every point, but somehow end up accidentally dropping the ring into Mount Doom anyway.

The one character I would never give it to is Granny Weatherwax. Even if she resisted the temptation - and the temptation would be profound, far moreso than for any other character on the list - she would hate every moment of it. It's a terrible thing to do to her, and potentially a terrible thing to do to the world.

Explanations welcome! No "other" option, sorry.
