There's some blink and you'll miss it references in early stuff, and a bit more in Unseen Academicals, but otherwise they're not really a thing til Snuff, yeah.

And the one goblin character we meet before Snuff has never met another goblin and is also a massive nerd who is described as "incontinentally erudite," which is just a magical turn of phrase.

There's currently a bit of a modding war row going on on Nexus mods over Skyrim where the thesis statement of the whole thing is basically "People upload a bunch of mods that add gay content to Skyrim and everyone's cool with it, but when I upload a mod that explicitly removes what little gay content there is from the game, suddenly everyone loses their minds. HYPOCRISY MUCH? HMMM? :lofty: Checkmate gays... who I hate."

So now people are uploading mods that add even more gay stuff to Skyrim and remove all the straight stuff and it's utter sexual anarchy, to quote a certain tiny-faced chud who also hates gay people.

Chuds are like "One thing/group wants to make all types of minorities feel more welcome and ensure they have rights, while the other thing/group wants to make all types of minorities feel unwelcome/invisible and take all their rights away.

....WHY ARE YOU LIBS NOT TREATING THESE THINGS THE SAME?!"

I agree that Snuff and Raising Steam were painful to read and I don't think I'm likely to revisit those, but The Shepherd's Crown is a lot more edited and coherent than those two. It's a really good send-off to the series, and I recommend it. In my mind it's more of a send-off by Rhianna Pratchett to her father than his last work, and it works perfectly as that.

One major plotline is also a final gently caress you to JK Rowling and the TERFs, as a nobleman's son abandons his titles and apprentices under Tiffany to become the Discworld's first male witch.

I have not read The Shepherds Crown because a. I did not know it existed and b. I have generally avoided any books that were written a few years after Terry became ill. He was such a tremendously good and powerful writer, it felt wrong to read his work after he became too ill to write to his own standard. I do not want to read paraphrases of his work that are only glimmerings of what he wanted to write.
However, his choice to make Tiffany his last voice is very powerful, and god, I love and miss Terry all the time. He was so angry, so right, so loving and so pissed off with the state of the world.

On the one hand, this is loving hilarious. On the other hand, it kinda hurts my heart that cis chuds are getting access to hormones when some trans folks can't. :(

Still, lol. I hope wearing cat ears is also suggested.
