Paul Kidby's farewell.

It's okay. I didn't need my heart today.

Still not embarrassing enough to stan billionaires or tech companies.

I wonder what his funeral is going to be like. I always imagined the procession would be filled with a thonrg of cosplayers dressed as Death and Death.

As many people as possible will be wearing the lilac.

The tears.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

I have to stop torturing myself by looking at tribute art on Deviant Art over and over again.

I always imagined that when Pterry finally went, there'd be a conversation along the lines of:

"You..."

You were expecting someone else?


His books have enriched my life and are enriching the lives of my children, I'm glad to have had the opportunity to meet him, briefly, at a book signing (He said my "Greebo" voice was more convincing than my own...) and thank him in person for his work.

On the one hand I am seriously sad at his passing.

On the other hand I am glad that he went while he was still himself.

That at least is worth being thankful for. He kept his mind until the end.

I haven't read nearly enough of his works, but this still hit me unexpectedly hard. Those final tweets set me to sobbing. My father has nearly the entire collection of Discworld... I think I should borrow them.

I first heard about this through Tumblr. I have to say that reading it in text form didn't make it any easier. I was in tears that day. I had a heavy weight on my heart too.

I feel better now than when Sir Pratchett first passed on. But I miss him terribly and I regret that I never had a chance to meet him and tell him how much his work meant to me. Discworld and Good Omens continue to be important books to me as I continue into this scary thing called "adulthood."

I'm rereading the Discworld books that I have, which is quite a few.

It's kind of funny. At first I read these books because I was trying to get closer to someone...

But now that this person is no longer in my life, I'm rereading them for me.

I know it's a selfish thing too but like... I'd like to think that wherever he went, Sir Pratchett is watching over his fans, both new and old, as we pour out so much emotion with our messages and our rereads of his work.

GNU Terry Pratchett...

You will always have a special place in my heart. May this message reach you on the Clacks, or whatever it is they use in the Afterlife.

(Edited because I temporarily forgot how to spell and use grammar in my outpouring of emotion.)

In memory of Sir Pterry, one of his weapon-loving fans replicates Cohen's feat in rolling a 7 with a d6.

[up]Yeah, I saw that on the news. Fair play to the man and his colleagues, he got what he wanted.

Ten books? Darn...

Sad, and yet, oh so totally Pratchettian.
