One day, someone posted a picture of Sir Terry seated, cleaning a sculpture of Great A'tuin. I could not help it. Immediately, the photo came to life in my head, and the image didn't left me alone until I took it out.

So, I'm very happy to share the result with you people today, in celebration of Sir Terry Pratchett's birthday! <3

Also, I like so much all of the Discworld Emporium's jigsaw puzzles that I'm thinking of having this image turned into a puzzle and pretend in my private world that it's official xD

I attended a The Oh Hellos ( @theohfficialhellos )  concert this past Friday, which happened to coincide with Good Friday.  One of there songs, Caesar, describes Christ’s Passion, so I had to make a comic and give it to them (I was able to give it to their merch guy, I hope the rest of band saw it!)

On an aside, that night, the concert, was particularly healing for me, as I’ve been going through some dark valleys lately.  Sometimes Gods love appears in the form of a banjo ya know?

A murder mystery film set in a medieval village. After an outbreak of plague, the villagers make the decision to shut their borders so as to protect the disease from spreading (see the real life case of the village of Eyam). As the disease decimates the population, however, some bodies start showing up that very obviously were not killed by plague.

Since nobody has been in or out since the outbreak began, the killer has to be somebody in the local community.

The village constable (who is essentially just Some Guy, because being a medieval constable was a bit like getting jury duty, if jury duty gave you the power to arrest people) struggles to investigate the crime without exposing himself to the disease, and to maintain order as the plague-stricken villagers begin to turn on each other.

The killer strikes repeatedly, seemingly taking advantage of the empty streets and forced isolation to strike without witnesses. As with any other murder mystery, the audience is given exactly the same information to solve the crime as the detective.

Except, that is, whenever another character is killed, at which point we cut to the present day where said character's remains are being carefully examined by a team of modern archaeologists and historians who are also trying to figure out why so many of the people in this plague-pit died from blunt force trauma.

The archaeologists and historians, btw, are real experts who haven't been allowed to read the script. The filmmakers just give them a model of the victim's remains, along with some artefacts, and they have to treat it like a real case and give their real opinion on how they think this person died.

We then cut back to the past, where the constable is trying to do the same thing. Unlike the archaeologists, he doesn't have the advantage of modern tech and medical knowledge to examine the body, but he does have a more complete crime scene (since certain clues obviously wouldn't survive to be dug up in the modern day) and personal knowledge from having probably known the victim.

The audience then gets a more complete picture than either group, and an insight into both the strengths and limits of modern archaeology, explaining what we can and can't learn from studying a person's remains.

At the end of the film, after the killer is revealed and the main plot is resolved, we then get to see the archaeologists get shown the actual scenes where their 'victims' were killed, so they can see how well their conclusions match up with what 'really' happened.

ahh the fanfic classic

text: oh... oh.

I love how using gold instead of italics to emphasize the second oh also serves to emphasize the...parallels? causative relationship? connection between whatever realization prompts the first 'oh' and the emotional reaction to that realization that prompts the second 'oh'

i appreciate this lovely analysis of my stylistic choice but I'm compelled to tell you that I did the gold as an afterthought cuz while I was photographing the cards for the week I realized I neglected to italicize the latter "oh"

still prefer the fanon interpretation 😘

yknow what that's in the spirit of the vibe interpreted here, fair to ya!

This is such a perfect snapshot of death of the author and I'm here for it

this is tumblr after all, yall should be able to kill me as a fun lil treat! :3c

ACTUALLY wait wait this gives me an idea for a future print design to get together after all my moving house chaos is done at the end of the month:

excuse the ms paintedenss of it all but you get the idea, the second Oh will be extremely illuminated and decorated, as if the meaning is escaping the word itself in a deluge of colour and line

in defense of the analysis of the first card: your gilding being an afterthought doesn't mean that it is less good, it still works very well! :D

(and to the project? yes. YES)

OH SHIT I WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE THIS A PRINT FOR YALL

okok i will, but I gotta get rid of some of my older inventory first, i have WAY too many print designs in inventory at the moment so I gotta run a discount sale soon for remaining inventory
