kimabutch:disgustiphage:i just wanted to share this important bit of discworld assassins guild lore [ID: four images from a Discworld lore book. The first three images are text. They read:“18. No boy is to keep a crocodile in his room.18A. No boy is to keep an alligator or any large amphibious reptile in his room. 18B. No boy, we wish to make it clear, is to keep any kind of monitor, goanna or giant chameleon in their room. 18C. Nor in the cellar. 18D. Nor in a cage on the roof. 18E. No boy is to own, rent, lease or hire any kind of lizard, amphibian or any species of creature broadly resembling the aforesaid (dead or alive) in his room, or anywhere else on, in, above or under Guild premises, or in any dimension occasionally congruent with this one, nor is any boy allowed to keep an alligator (or similar) costume, or possess a humorous inflatable alligator (or similar) that may be dangled on the end of a string in front of the window of the study below. Pictures of crocodilians and related creatures of a size normally expected in a work on natural history are acceptable. Newts may be kept for the purposes of nature study. 18F. Boys are forbidden to keep any newt of any length greater than five (5) inches at full growth. Despite significant differences apparently visible to the educated eye, the Sumtri Fire Newt is defined as a crocodilian under School Rules, in so far as it is capable of eating a full-grown master. 18G. None of the above rules 18–18F applies to pupils who are worshippers of Offler the crocodile god. 18H. No boy is to convert to Offlerism without permission in writing from the Head Master. 18I. Any boy pretending Offlerism may, at the whim of the Head Master, be subjected to twenty complicated questions on its tenets and beliefs. Inaccuracy in this area will result in expulsion. Religion is not a joking matter. 18J. The Guild of Assassins and its associated teaching establishment fully accept that to the worshippers of Nog-Humpy the custard god, religion is a joking matter.”End text.The fourth and final image is of a huge newt. It has a collar on its neck, attached to a leash. Two legs are sticking out of its mouth. The background of the image is a faded sigil. At the top of the page reads “school rules.” End ID.] -- source link
