I’m Writing Scenes Which Are Good, And I Don’t Know Where They Are Going To Fit In The Book. But

I’m writing scenes which are good, and I don’t know where they are going to fit in the book. But it’s what I call ‘The Valley Filled With Clouds’ technique. You’re at the edge of the valley, and there is a church steeple, and there is a tree, and there is a rocky outcrop, but the rest of it is mist. But you know that because they exist, there must be ways of getting from one to the other that you cannot see. And so you start the journey. And when I write, I write a draft entirely for myself, just to walk the valley and find out what the book is going to be all about.

Nobby is not allowed to do, hence nobody can know what Nobby does, and I most certainly hope that Nobby doesn't.

Does anyone in Discworld have Sex?

Ok let's clarify:

Moist fucks. Moist definitely fucks, and fucks severely.

Nanny also fucks. Or at least did fuck. Ridcully would fuck but he's celibate.

Vimes and Carrot obviously make love. Mort probably also makes love. Magrat definitely "makes love," which is very different from making love without quotation marks.

Neither Susan nor Vetinari would ever be caught doing anything as uncouth as having sex.

Colon et al procreate. Nobody is allowed to know what Nobby does

Lead candidate for people who have sex are Detritus and Tiffany Aching.

I can hardly believe that a combination of low effort shitposts and mid quality art could get me so far.

Those eels are enough to make any sane person question their place in the universe.

Dune Bug: Look. There's a frog.

Fire Kraken: HI there, frog! Have you seen any gears around here?

Punk Shock: The frog can't talk, Fire.

Fire Kraken: Why not? Is he stupid?

Punk Shock: He's an animal.

Fire Kraken: So what? We're animals too.

Punk Shock: We don't have time for this!

Dune Bug: No, hold on. He has a point.

Fire Kraken: Yeah! What makes us different from the frog?

Punk Shock: They're not.... like us.

Fire Kraken: What do you mean? Are you racist?

Punk Shock: What!? No! I mean they walk on all fours and live in the woods. They aren't... y'know... sapient.

Dune Bug: But what makes something truly sapient? Is the frog's simple demeanor really a proper means to judge its capacity for thought?

Punk Shock: Yes. Stop talking about this.

Dune Bug? Has God forsaken this creature?

Punk Shock: I said stop.

Dune Bug: Or has he forsaken us by cursing us with intelligence?

Punk Shock: Dune Bug! The Flashfin is currently being evilized and I really just wanna get out of this swamp. Can you please have your existential crisis later?

Dune Bug: Does this quandary not weigh on your mind?

Punk Shock: No!

Fire Kraken: Why? Because you're racist?

Punk Shock: I'm not racist! Frogs don't talk, ok!? That's just how it is!

Dune Bug: Or is that just how you perceive it? How can you know what they think?

Punk Shock: I don't care what they think.

Fire Kraken: Because you're-

Punk Shock: NOT because I'm racist! We talk, they don't. There's nothing to think about unless we come across a non-sapient eel or something.

Fire Kraken: Like that?

Dune Bug: Look. There's A Frog.

Punk Shock: .......Maybe God has forsaken us....

Worm Crowley - A Silly Game

Did you all remember Worm Crowley? Well, since the Peter Anderson Studio publish it I though I would do him justice. So I made him kiss Aziraphale in a little silly game.

A little advice: Aziraphale is a little shy and we all know he wait 6000 years to do it so be patient with him please.
