What is this

it’s a comic based on a scene from a book called “the hogfather”
it is a novel by terry pratchet in the diskworld series
wherein santa (the hogfather) is being audited, 
so to keep people believing in irrational but symbolic constructs
death takes over for him
and isn’t very good at it, but he does his best.

@fialleril you’ve probably seen this before, but I can’t take the risk that you haven’t.

What is Hogfather?

The only holiday book that matters, tbh.

@the-last-hair-bender Vin’s kind of education, up to a point. Brian, of course, approves of his daughter’s method, given that it’s kind of his own too.

Crowley & Aziraphale’s New Year’s Wishes

From http://www.harpercollins.com/author/AuthorExtra.aspx?displayType=essay&authorID=3417

Crowley: 

Resolution #1: I must accept that Super-Gluing valuable coins to the sidewalk and then watching events from a nearby café is not proper demonic activity.

Resolution #2: The same applies to rearranging the letters on wayside pulpits.

Resolution #3: Try to come up with something as good as cell phone ringtones, following one last stab at convincing Downstairs that cell phone ringtones are right up there in the whole Human Misery stakes. And iPods. Has anybody Down There even said thank you for iPods? Or “Googling yourself?” Frankly, I deserve some kind of award for “Googling yourself.”

Resolution #4: I must encourage greedy people to use the term, “Low-hanging fruit,” because that’s just like old times.

Resolution #5: This year, I will get a desk near the window.

Resolution #6: I will try to understand why Hell is a no-smoking area. I just think it’s ridiculous having to stand around outside the gates, that’s all.

Resolution #7: On the orders of Head Office I will encourage the belief in Intelligent Design, because it upsets everyone.

Resolution #8: Stop Googling myself.

Aziraphale:

Resolution #1: Spread peace and love and glad tidings of great joy throughout the world. Also try to get out more.

Resolution #2: I will be charitable to people who use the term “core values,” however difficult this may be.

Resolution #3: Notwithstanding Resolution #2 (above), I will redouble my efforts to have the utterance of the phrase “core values” classified as a deadly sin. I believe Himself is with me on this one.

Resolution #4: I will try to be nicer to the customers. They want to buy books; I want to sell them. It can’t be that hard. (Memo to self: Regular opening hours? Mark prices on books?)

Resolution #5: I will try to be polite to Gabriel, no matter what the provocation.

Resolution #6: Find out exactly what an “Internet” is.

Resolution #7: Really must resume dancing lessons. Learn the “Galloping Major,” the “Gay Gordons,” the “Mashed Potatoes.” Possibly even the “Twist”?

Resolution #8: Thwart Infernal Wiles (ongoing).

Resolution #9: I will try to understand why Heaven is a non-smoking area.

Resolution #10: On the orders of Head Office I will encourage the belief in Intelligent Design – despite the fact that the human airway crosses the digestive tract. Who thought that was intelligent?

Resolution #11: Feed the ducks.

…

PS: If you are a person who wrote Good Omens, do not EVER look at the Tumblr Aziraphale tag to find a nice picture of Crowley and Aziraphale to put into a New Year’s blog. There are things you can never unsee.

Since I do not bother with New Year’s resolutions, it is good that others have done so for me.

this is how I melt and blend the crayons! if anyone wants to try it out themselves c: just be careful with the hot glue gun!

Wat.

WHAT THE HECK MAN THIS IS THE BEST HACK IVE EVER SEEN YET ON TUMBLR

This is fucking brilliant, holy shit.

But yeah, watch the temperature of that hot glue gun, especially if your gun is prone to overheating and you have to unplug it for little intervals while you work.
