So, I knew Terry Pratchett for a long time. I don’t know that I’d be presumptive enough to say we were friends, but we had each other’s numbers and would text and meetup back in the days when I was doing stuff for the CBDLF. (He once said that I was young Granny Weatherwax. A compliment indeed, although I’m way more Nanny Ogg if honest.)
When he died, I was devastated. Literally like I lost a brother. Even typing this, I’m trying not to cry. His books saved my life, and I do not say that lightly. I never read his last book: The Shepherd’s Crown, because if I didn’t, there was always one more Witch book waiting.
I don’t drink. On my home, I picked up cheeses I never let myself buy because of cost, two of the best bottles of wine I could justify to myself, and some fresh berries from the farm down the street.
I’m so afraid that this is the end of all times, that I’m going to drink wine, eat cheese and read Pratchett, just in case it’s my last chance to pretend we’re gonna be ok.
@MissConstrue eat, drink, be merry, and dream.

@abetterjulie I’m sure I’m over reacting. Surely there will be another TACO, or so I keep telling myself. And yet…I just cannot shake the existential dread.

edit: 2000ad faustino gran reserva. by my standards about as posh as it gets. it's not bad, either; probably should have drunk it a while ago. cheers, everyone… hope to see you on the other side…

@MissConstrue Self care is important and what a wonderful memory to have and hold while you do that.

@MissConstrue A lot of us are with you in spirit! What kind of cheeses?

@copharynx @MissConstrue missed this earlier so I'm replying knowing that he TACOed but I hope you can find a cheese like the Lancre Blue (because even if you can't eat it, it would be an excellent drinking companion
) -

@MissConstrue In Pratchett's universe reality is crazy but good people always muddle through. It's very comforting.

@MissConstrue I didn't know him but his books got me through some dark times
I too have an unread Shepherds Crown for the same reason
This is a dark time, Mr Pratchett will get you through it
