Taako Taaco is a funny name cause yeah you get the joke, it’s the word taco spelled wrong 2 different ways
But then Lup comes along. And without the context of her brother’s name, it’s just
Her name is “Lup Taco”
Common theory is that taaco isn’t his real last name and it’s actually “phrom'teevi” (or some other variation of from tv) and in the same vain, lup would say her last name is loop
anyone else cope w trauma by inserting yourself into fictional worlds in which you live and all the characters are supportive and helpful to you and you can tell them anything and maybe some of them have been through the same things
I just realized, I just bloody realized, Moist Von Lipwig’s story arc is a game of Monopoly through the eyes of a conman going through the board and winning all the pieces.
He has the top hat, the dog, the train (which replaces to automotive in newer boards) the friendship of the Seamstress’ Guild (thimble), the walking iron called Gladys, the boot (he’s the incarnation of the Disc God Fedecks who has winged boots) and also the bag of money.* He goes to jail, but eventually gets to pass and go. He’s integral in the rehabilitation of civic buildings (post office, bank, mint, the acquisition of land to build a railway and then adding stations to said railway), the owner of up market private property, and also he invents paper money which everyone sort of thinks of as a bit of a game.
His very name, Moist Von Lipwig, is a pun about wearing a fake lip wig or mustache. Like so:
Lord Vetinari is quite literally using him to play a life size version of Monopoly with the city. And winning.
(Amendment: Adora with hear deadly footwear is also the shoe/boot.)
(* Alternates: Sam Vimes is boots, Gaspode and Beggars Guild is dog, Wheelbarrow is Harry King, Thimble is Seamstress Guild, Battlehsip/canon is Assassins Guild/Nobility, Money Bag is Thieves Guild, leaving Moist as Top Hat and Train. ANKH-MORPORK MONOPOLY, GIVE IT TO ME)
Your eye has something called “immune privilege” This basically means that the outside of your eye prevents your immune system from knowing about the inside of your eye. If it didn’t, your immune system would destroy your eyes.
