i feel like we don’t talk enough about how the discworld has commercial captain carrot action figures (and possibly versions of other watch members too??)

I’m just imagining that there’s a Commander Vimes one somewhere

The Hogswatch after they start being produced, they start showing up around the watchhouse

on the duty desk, in the privies, on the odd doorframe, in the lockers

everyone thinks it’s hilarious but no one’s willing to admit to doing it because Vimes’ll go spare

he keeps demanding they clear them out and they do, but then they reappear

(it’s probably Vetinari)

Vimes keeps trying to buy the whole stock to get rid of them, inadvertently creating a demand

Sybil doesn’t point this out. She just sits back and watches in amusement and makes sure that a box or so end up in the attic, for posterity.

But he doesn’t mind the one Young Sam is currently using to teeth. That one they can keep.

When Young Sam gets older he has all the figurines so that he can play watchman. He has a head for it which both delights and saddens Sam who always hopes his lad’s life will be better then his.

As usual Sybil finds the silver lining and suggests that given Young Sam’s nature, his love for organizing, collecting and his ability to differentiate between several different types of poo at a glance, a promising career in forensics might be on the horizon.

Aunt Cheri Littlebottom gives him his first lead lined jump-over-bench the following year.

I certainly do try, Mr. Vimes has been very supportive of my encouraging the boy.
