“Henry the Taupe–A wizard of Unseen University. While studying criminology, he essayed to see if people could be cheated even after they had been TOLD they were being cheated. He set up a Find-The-Lady table in Sator Square and announced to the gathering crowd: ‘I WILL cheat so that it will be impossible for you to win! You CANNOT win!‘ This caused much amusement. Despite the fact that no one won, many customers even returned for another go. Henry made AM$200 and decided to study human nature instead.”

- Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs, “The Ankh-Morpork Archives”
(I take it back.  THIS is the most Ankh-Morpork thing I’ve ever read.  And yet it also sounds like an incredibly Roundworld thing as well.)

theradioghost:

basically I think I ended up as fond of Mike Crew as I am because he’s very directly situated as a foil to Jon

they both first encountered one of the fears when they were eight years old. they both had early experiences with Leitners. they both lost their parents, if under very different circumstances. they both focused their lives on a self-destructive pursuit of escaping their fear – Jon via answers, Mike via power. both identifiably scarred by their encounters with the entities. both drawn by their nature to a different entity than the one they first escaped.

and maybe most importantly, that before he became a full avatar, Mike was scared. uncertain about that choice. and what’s most deeply disturbing about him is that he’s now so far removed from that person that he can’t understand why he wouldn’t have wanted to be what he is now.

he’s one of if not the first person to really give Jon any direct, plain answers about who and what they are. and the person who lays out for Jon what he’s becoming is so terrifyingly like him. Jon might end up like Gertrude, resilient against the lure of the Eye, but cold and practical when it comes to sacrificing individual others to her goals. but he also might end up like Mike – scared, desperate, and finally accepting the loss of his humanity and the harm he inflicts on others as the price for his survival, for not being afraid anymore. (even then he’s such a funny immediate followup to Jude – the way he talks about being an avatar is so transactional, and all he really seems to want to do is to be left to live in peace, doing his murder monster thing and staying out of all the fear drama. I am not surprised they didn’t get along)

actually, I’d argue that Jon came a lot closer to being like Mike than he did to being like Gertrude. the fact that he didn’t is maybe actually why I like Mike so much, I think? between first meeting him right in the middle of Jon realizing the full horror of the change he’s undergoing, and now having seen Jon as a newly fully-fledged avatar throughout season 4 – having watched a character I love go through all that distress and grief and struggle, there’s something very tragic about the realization that Mike, who now can’t understand why he wouldn’t have wanted to be an avatar, might have gone through much the same thing, just without the human connections and people around him who have done so much to anchor Jon

he occupies a space very much like Helen in my heart, essentially – I would love to have him as a similar kind of That Character Definitely Hasn’t Had Any Kind Of Redemption Arc Or Whatever, They Still Definitely Eat People, But They Hang Around With Us Now And No One Really Questions It, They’re Probably Chill

tmai can never stop lovong how practical he is about it all both before and after choosing a patronhe tries out several and survives that!
