My son asked me to draw a character from a book he recently read, can't remember if the #DeathOfRats was in #TheColourOfMagic but I really wanted to try Drawing him.

Arrrr, it be Talk Like A Pirate Day, me hearties!

Which #TheColourOfMagic actor played an iconic fictional pirate in a 1996 Muppet movie? And who was the pirate in question?

Black text on a pale yellow background with a black Art Nouveau border. The text reads "Talk Like A Pirate Day" above a monochrome image of a tattered black skull-and-crossbones flag.

A little late with the GNU. I cannot believe it has been 10 years since his passing - gone but never forgotten 💜

Just 24 hours after our last post, everyone at the #DiscworldConvention is extremely saddened by the loss of Tim Curry. Tim played Trymon in the 2008 Sky One TV adaptation of Sir #TerryPratchett's #TheColourOfMagic - while in 2010 the Convention staged the Rocky Horror #Discworld Show!

#GNUTimCurry
Black text on a pale grey background with a black Art Nouveau border. The text reads "GNU Tim Curry" above a glittery oval photo frame. Inside the frame is a colour photo of Tim Curry as Trymon the wizard in The Colour Of Magic, wearing red velvet robes and a giant red pointy hat with yellow stars on it. He also sports a frankly magnificently villainous black moustache/beard combo.

"I just think the world ought to be more sort of organized." "That's just fantasy," said Twoflower. "I know. That's the trouble." Rincewind sighed again. --from The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett

IF I HAD A PENNY for every time someone asked me where I got the idea of the Discworld, I’d have—hang on a moment—£4.67.

IF I HAD A PENNY for every time someone asked me where I got the idea of the Discworld, I’d have—hang on a moment—£4.67. Anyway, the answer is that it was lying around and didn’t look as though it belonged to anyone. The world rides through space on the back of a turtle. It’s one of the great ancient myths, found wherever men and turtles were gathered together; the four elephants were an Indo-European sophistication. The idea has been lying in the lumber rooms of legend for centuries. All I had to do was grab it and run away before the alarms went off.

The Discworld is not a coherent fantasy world. Its geography is fuzzy, its chronology unreliable. A small traveling circle of firelight in a chilly infinity has turned out to be the home of defiant jokes and last chances. There are no maps. You can’t map a sense of humor. Anyway, what is a fantasy map but a space beyond which There Be Dragons? On the Discworld we know that There Be Dragons Everywhere. They might not all have scales and forked tongues, but they Be Here all right, grinning and jostling and trying to sell you souvenirs.

My first #Pratchett book, which I read mostly backward because a friend loved the last few pages & wanted me to read them. So I did, & then I wanted to see what set those pages up, then I went back farther to see what set them up, & so on. After that, I read #TheColourofMagic, forward.

“We've strayed into a zone with a high magical index,' he said. 'Don't ask me how. Once upon a time a really powerful magic field must have been generated here, and we're feeling the after-effects.'

'Precisely,' said a passing bush.”

The series can be read chronologically, but the novels are also grouped into sub-series which basically contain the same characters (Death being quite… cool 😅) or themes, with the main character being Rincewind - a wizard with no skill and no real… 'wizardly qualifications'. 🥰

In homage to Sir Terry, I've made a Decision about magic on the world of Sert.

[a screenshot from a novel composition app] "Once you're on shore, break that so we can understand each other." She stared at me. "It's magic. Once we get off the boat, just break the stick, okay?" She nodded, and I lead the way down the gangway and onto the dock. She followed, and once we were both ashore I made a get on with it motion. She broke the spellstick and there was a faint octarine shimmer as the spell settled around her. "Can you understand me?" "Yes?" "That should last until this time tomorrow."

IN A DISTANT AND SECONDHAND SET OF DIMENSIONS, in an astral plane that was never meant to fly, the curling star-mists waver and part… See… Great A’Tuin the turtle comes, swimming slowly through the interstellar gulf, hydrogen frost on his ponderous limbs, his huge and ancient shell pocked with meteor craters. Through sea-sized eyes that are crusted with rheum and asteroid dust He stares fixedly at the Destination.
