Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree. But much, much later than that the Discworld was formed. Drifting onwards through space...atop four elephants on the shell of a giant turtle, the great A'Tuin.
And so our story begins in...
Someone asked my maths professor why numbers exist and she said “One day, for whatever reason, someone decided they wanted to count things and it’s been a major inconvenience for everybody ever since.”
“You know how stuff runs in families? Blue eyes, buck teeth, that sort of thing? Well, Death runs in my family. I remember things that haven’t happened yet and I can TALK THAT TALK and stalk that stalk and…if he gets sidetracked, then I’ll have to do it. And he does get sidetracked.”
I would legit paint it up to have teeth and dangly little legs.
okay but considering that Pokemon Go often shows me suddenly sprinting about 3 blocks away from where I really am and then sprinting back about 9 blocks in the opposite direction and only occasionally getting within 100 feet of where I actually am, I can anticipate one or two problems with this
baby dragons that sleep in your fireplace and roll about in the soot and the ash trying to get comfortable on burning logs, screeching loudly whenever people walk by or when more logs need to be added to its roost and not stopping until content again
baby dragons with wings that are disproportionate to their bodies until older but nonetheless stubbornly trying to pick themselves up off the ground by running and aggressively flapping and managing to only get a few feet off the ground for a few seconds before crash landing
baby dragons that haven’t been exposed to priceless things such as gems and gold pieces and instead infatuate themselves with other unusual shiny things — like silverware, brass clocks, instruments, and pots and pans
baby dragons who get cold in the winter and crawl up into their caretaker’s clothing (almost always while said clothing is being worn) and curl up as tight as possible and begin to make sounds similar to content purring as they sleep
baby dragons making whiny hungry bird noises until they’re fed
baby dragons being afraid of the family cat for a while until after a few days the cat wanders up to the sleeping pile of scales and fire and curling around them for a nap in the sunshine
baby dragons stealing the shiny car keys and chewing on them
baby dragons gently nibbling on the jewelry of their favorite people- and not so gently with people they don’t like
baby dragons blowing tiny puffs of smoke out their noses when they snore
baby dragons using the cat’s scratching post
baby dragons wearing tiny saddles with knight-in-shining-armour action figures riding on their backs
baby dragons roasting mini marshmallows mid-air when you toss them before eating them
baby dragons hiding on top of bookshelves and cabinets when they don’t want to go to the vet
Considering voice channels are a thing on discord as well as voice recording sites and apps, would people still be interested in reading out Discworld related things?
Sure. I’ve been told I have a great voice for that sort of thing.
Of course, many of the people who said that are teenage American girls who seem to swoon at any vaguely “British” accent - but not all, at least.

Short answer: yes
Longer answer: what do you mean? What is this? What would it entail?
In another chat I’m in we approached a similiar idea and we plan (since its quite active and has many users) to pick a day or days/times where one or more people read out doctor who fic, official book stories, scripts, just all in good fun.
Several times since i made this blog, the idea of something like this has sprouted up in chats or tags. And with discord, a channel can be devoted to it as well as a voice chat channel.

would any of you amazing discworld/good omens artists allow me to use a fanart image to promo my discworld rp muses? You would of course receive credit and the image/plus credit would be promo’d on more than one blog. I just…fail at digital art myself and there’s so few discworld rp muses that having art sometimes helps when actual images aren’t plentiful.
I have a Lipwig muse, Susan muse and a Crowley muse. I would be so grateful for anything I could use to introduce them to indie roleplay.
