the disc system

@thediscsystem

a system with an obnoxious amount of discworld fictives, also quite the special interest in discworld, collective pronouns and name are he/him and James

I'm realizing I should make a get to know the owner post, ah well here goes nothing.

Thediscsystem, as the name implies, is a did system that over the years has gained a massive special interest in discworld and therefore has developed many discworld fictives, the blog itself will likely not be effected too much by the system part but is mainly for posting about discworld, the wizards, and whatever comes to this horrid little mind of ours, do ask questions if you so desire and we will try our best to answer them.

All in all, James is a cool name we use as well as he/him pronouns.

A little something that was requested a while ago. Figment would likely be deeply un normal if someone threw a birthday party for him specifically. He isn't used to people tolerating his presence, let alone enjoying and celebrating it. Anyways, if he was to have a birthday it would likely be somewhere at the end of spring beginning of summer, I'll put it as June 4th for now. I'm working on cataloging a lot of my characters birthdays.

Shalins is October 8th, Stelcier Criks is October 14th, Pytrs is December 12th, and Scleras is May 18th

"Rail only works over short distances" one of the most detached from reality carbrain statements I've ever read. Rail is objectively, demonstrably better to cover long distances than it is to cover short distances. Car culture legitimately gives you some kind of brain fungus.

Idk if anyone but me uses the phrase 'dwarf bread effect' but the dwarf bread effect is very real

There's this joke in one of the Discworld books about how dwarf bread is great to have along on journeys bcos if you run out of food you'll look at it & instantly come up with a bunch of ideas of other things you could eat instead (eg tree bark).

Anyway sometimes I'll have dinner planned out and be like 'ok I'm not feeling this but I don't have anything else in so I gotta eat it' and then in a state of ughhh look around my foodless kitchen and be like WAIT. As if by magic I have found an alternative!! & That's how I ended up making impromptu risotto tonight lmao.

here’s some more i’ve gathered since making this post btw.

“If you promise to stay alive just a little bit longer I promise that we are going to make this world a place worth living in by any means necessary. I ain’t giving up. I swear.”

I can’t stop thinking about this message, so I spent a while trying to isolate just the writing and make it transparent. I might order a shirt with it

Whoever in Clackamas wrote this message on their bus stop, I love you

ok someone gifted me the commissions open badge, but now fun thing about those badges, you can only display one of the types of badges at once, so it's either check marks or open commissions for me
