Rincewinds-hat - Shitposts Tbh

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.

Crowley and Rowena

I don't understand how some people can like Rowena but not Crowley. They're literally the same. Like mother like son sort of thing.

They were both terrible parents. I think Rowena, directly or indirectly, caused Crowley/Fergus to become an alcoholic

And they were both the sort of enemies-to-friends with the Winchesters.

And don't even get me /started/ on how they died

LIKE?????

And also, the fact neither of them can say 'i love you' or admit to caring about someone

Also, this part with Rowena where she explains why she didn't love Crowley as a child - makes no sense. Or maybe it makes perfect sense. Because after she left him, she loved a boy like her own son. Even though she swore not to love again.

Surprisingly, i've seen a lot of people favour Rowena over Crowley for what he's done.

What some fail to understand, however, is that they're so similar, they are the same character in different fonts.

Think about it - power hungry, ruled over Hell for some time, terrible parents, pretend not to care, had an affair with an angel briefly (Crowley an Cas not confirmed, but i think Crowley might have attempted to, and there's Rowena and Gabriel in case someone forgot) (and they bought flirt with Cas), also the fact they sacrificed themselves for the Winchesters even after they hated them and worked against them in the beginning... I could probably go on.

THISSS

i will forever be mad that dean winchester (the man who always emotionaly bonded with the kids/teens that were involved in cases) was written to be like that towards jack. jack deserved the dean that would've made him feel safe, not the dean that made him hate himself. jack kline deserved every good thing he didn't get.
