FABRICATI DIEM, PVNC

bathearst:

I don’t myself own a copy of Night Watch so I can’t quote chapter and verse on this for you, but at one point Vimes-as-Keel stops an angry mob by taking off his weapons, sitting on the stoop of the guard house, and drinking a mug of cocoa. That’s one of those images that sticks in my head, the simple setup of Vimes and mug and steps and blue station lamp.

“There were people hanging around out there, in little groups of three or four, talking among themselves and occasionally turning to look at the Watch House.

Vimes sat down on the steps, and took a sip of his cocoa.

He might as well have dropped his breeches. The groups opened up, became an audience. No man drinking a nonalcoholic chocolate beverage had ever been the centre of so much attention.”

I love this part too.

This is clearly the cutest fanart that could exist.

Don’t forget today is also the Glorious May 25.

Don’t mind me, just reblogging every Night Watch thing on my dash today.

I need this

Anyone who follows me for my Discworld stuff should already know what day this is for!  Especially anyone who followed my through the spam of my hundredth reread of Night Watch (link leads to the tag I kept all those quotations in, by the way).

They did the job they didn’t have to do, and they died doing it, and you can’t give them anything.  Do you understand?  They fought for those who’d been abandoned, they fought for one another, and they were betrayed.  Men like them always are.  What good would a statue be?  It’d just inspire new fools to believe they’re going to be heroes.  They wouldn’t want that.  Just let them be. Forever.

This is the first in what will probably turn into a Night Watch spam tomorrow.  I have a lot of feels about the 25th of May.
