“That was our mistake, I think. One of many mistakes. To believe that boys were acting with a logic that we could someday understand. To believe that their actions had any meaning beyond thoughtless impulse. We were like conspiracy theorists, seeing portent and intention in every detail, wishing desperately that we mattered enough to be the object of planning and speculation. But they were just boys. Silly and young and straightforward; they weren’t hiding anything.”
— “The Girls,” Emma Cline
(via meditationsinwonderland)
You have to voluntarily examine your life, not condemn it, not say this is right or this is wrong but look. When you do look in that way, you will find that you look with eyes that are full of affection—not with condemnation, not with judgement, but with care. You look at yourself with care and therefore with immense affection—and it is only when there is great affection and love that you see the total existence of life.

an incomplete list of iconique Sam Vimes Moments™:
- arresting a dragon
- running through the streets of ankh-morpork naked
- running through the woods of uberwald naked and fighting off werewolves with his bare fucking hands
- telling the ancient personification of darkness and vengeance to fuck off
“Well, Reg, tomorrow the sun will come up again, and I’m pretty sure that whatever happens we won’t have found Freedom, and there won’t be a whole lot of Justice, and I’m damn sure we won’t have found Truth. But it’s just possible that I might get a hard-boiled egg.”
- arresting an entire war
- the ginger beer trick
- reluctantly acquiring yet more titles, being embarassed
- responds to being told the watch can’t interfere with the aforementioned war by handing in his badge and raising a militia
- just no fucking clue how boats work
- That! Is!! Not!!! My!!!! Cow!!!!!
- giving up all hope of returning to a future with his wife and child to stay in the past and fight in a revolution he knows he can’t win because failing to try to help people is utterly antithetical to the fundamental state of being Sam Vimes
- “when the shouting started she knew Sam was alive and well, because only Sam made people that angry”
- if anyone’s setting fire to this city it’s going to be me (ankh-morpork has burned down at least twice already at this point)
- arresting fucking Havelock Vetinari
“I’ll teach him to walk! I’m good at teaching people to walk!”
- getting annoyed at the idea that the assassins are no longer willing to accept any amount of money to kill him
- defusing a riot with a cigar and a mug of cocoa
- throwing fucking Havelock Vetinari over his shoulder
- all of the international incidents because he’s fundamentally incapable of not being salty to The Man
- despite being The Man
- telling Vetinari to shut up
- Vetinari shutting up when Vimes told him to
- stopping all of ankh-morpork’s traffic because reading to his son before bed is infinitely more important
- getting obscenely rich, hating all of it except the bubble baths
- “Who are you, pray?” “The law, you sons of bitches!”
“How dare you? How dare you! At this time! In this place! They did the job they didn’t have to do, and they died doing it, and you can’t give them anything. Do you understand?”
- arresting himself
- every single fucking noir and western and cop movie one-liner
- having so many near-death experiences that Death calls them “near-Vimes experiences” and brings a book along
- fistfight on a ship being hit by a river tidal wave in the middle of a storm
- “a watchman is a civilian you inbred streak of piss”
- gleefully pointing out to the assassins that he does in fact technically own the place
- ordering rebels to take down their barricades and rebuild them properly
