Oh, hey, it's the story where I first heard anything to do with Discworld ever. And . . . I will totally get to that series at some point, yes! I've even collected five titles from various Goodwills! Definitely going to do that, definitely not overworking to the point that it's consuming my entire being and existence, haha

Oh, and the Greenman is here! Everyone's favorite character, the Greenman. Yup. The Greenman's first ever appearance. The jolly green Greenman. There he is. In seriousness, I do like that Jay and Acacia branched out (HEH) from basing all the Flowers on real plants, and included some myths and such as well.

The mission's quite a fun one; you can tell they were looking forward to interacting with Discworld elements, but still had fun with the Tolkien stuff, with finagling Boromir on top of Acacia, and Jay starting to feel the pull of the One Ring. (Although honestly, she doesn't seem the type? But I guess that's kind of the point with the One, isn't it? What would that look like, though? A dark queen in a tower filled with polaroids, armies of orcs denuding the planet to produce more photo development solution, sourceless Rammstein music inexplicably playing over all, like background music in a video game?) I admit I . . . didn't remember Rúmil existed in canon. Like, at all. But at least the authors did, and gave him a cameo here! brb, going to make Rúmil his own wiki page now

—doctorlit looks forward to the burst of PPC activity this week, and possibly even keeping up with reviewing it
