Okay, So I Just Started Reading Snuff (the Discworld Novel), And I Just Came Across The Point Where Sybil

Okay, so I just started reading snuff (the discworld novel), and I just came across the point where Sybil explains to vimes why the reason there's professional distance between house workers and the people they work for is that before that was a thing, rich men used to abuse their position to behave super inappropriately towards the women they employed to work in their homes, and I was just like... Couldn't pick a worse time to read this, could I? Or maybe better, who knows

I kinda want a movie where the protagonist starts out slightly eccentric, maybe a bit weird, but then as the plot progresses and you see them making choices, you gradually realize it's actually just that they're supposed to be the villain of this whole thing.

... Oh, wait.

Why does half of the discworld watch series sound like someone's thoughts on the american police system that were posted on this website a few years ago?

Will wood is like if cavetown was David Bowie.

So I thought about this a bit, and I came to the conclusion that the spider demon that chased Edwin in hell could only be representative of why he was in hell the second time. He thought it will come back and consume him every time he tries to escape, so his punishment was to forever try and run away from a torture that never ends. That's because now he knows he'll only be there because of the stupid ritual sacrifice, since we know (because of Simon) that your afterlife fate is determined by what you believe. The first time he was in hell, it was probably something more gay angst related.

Here's your reminder that if you've got your own personal shit to deal with, especially if your health, safety or ability to immediately function in society is on the line, it is perfectly fine to aknowlage political events that are outside of your control as something you genuinely can't worry about. Your responsibility is to yourself before it is to society. If opening the news makes you suicidal, you don't have to. If donating means compromising the money you need to function daily, you don't have to. If "speaking out" means having to cut people you love out of your life, you don't have to. Nobody should be telling you to throw yourself into something that is killing you internally/putting you into debt/taking away your ability to just live your life/meaningfully harming you in any other ways just to perform some kind of moral duty.
