Roundworld needs Esme Weatherwax.
Photo of a notebook page with beautiful rune-like handwriting thus: A witch ought never be frightened in the darkest forest because she should be sure in her soul that the most terrifying thing in the forest was her. -- Terry Pratchett

Sir Terry always spoke the Truth.
Art of Havelock Vetinari with the quote "And that's when I first learned about evil. It is built into the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior."

Make the change. Unseen University is sooooo much closer to an actual school than Hogwarts, I promise you.
The 'distracted boyfriend' meme. The boyfriend is 'hog' and he's staring at the 'father' girl instead of his 'warts' girlfriend.

More important than ever.
A picture of Sir Terry Pratchett, with his white beard, glasses, and black hat, alongside a quote: "Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'." -- Terry Pratchett, Snuff

...I gotta say, Papa Puerco is a MUCH better name than Hogfather.
Pic of the Spanish bluray for Hogfather...his name in Spanish is Papa Puerco.

A lot of "best Christmas movie" discourse out there but I think it's clear what the superior choice is.
An advertisement for the Sky adaptation of Terry Pratchett's 'Hogfather' novel, featuring Death wearing a Santa outfit. "This holiday expect the unexpected."

Apropos of nothing in particular. Nothing at all.
Discworld's Death standing with his hand raised and his scythe proclaiming "There is no justice, there is just me."

If you're not interested neither am I. And I'm pretty darned hot, so you're missing out.
The Spice Girls all lined up with little signs saying "If you wanna be my lover you gotta read Discworld"

Talk about a Fresh Start.
The "standing over a grave smiling" meme; the name on both the gravestone and the smiling person is Reg Shoe.

It totally will.
The caption "Me, telling people they should read Discworld" over an image of Bob from Bob's Burgers explaining "I mean, I don't want to oversell it, but it changes you forever."

Remember, folks--the apocalypse is almost here! Work on your survival skills!

Not reminiscent of real world events right now at all, I promise. (Also: miss me with that "you've gone woke" drek.)
An image of Havelock Vetinari and the quote "And that's when I first learned about evil. It is built in to the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior."

What is DISCWORLD??
An image of a Jeopardy answer, stating "Terry Pratchett wrote 41 novels about this flat, circular place, set upon the back of 4 elephants upon a giant turtle"

A black-and-white image of Terry Pratchett in a black hat. The quote reads "Satire is meant to ridicule power. If you are laughing at people who are hurting, it's not satire, it's bullying."
