"All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable." REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE. "Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little-". YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES. "So we can believe the big ones?" YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING. "They're not the same at all!" YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET– Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED. "Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point–' MY POINT EXACTLY." - Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Tigerfort @tigerfort@mendeddrum.org So, you've encountered the idea of Maid Cafes, yes? Where the staff are all women dressed as someone's idea of a maid, and they address the customers as "master"? I've had a brilliant idea: Igor Cafes. The staff are all made up as Igors, there's a faint smell of ozone, and the cuthtomers are all seated with their back to the counter and passageway, so that whenever they want thomething an Igor can thtep thilently in behind them and say "Yeth, Mathter?"

The thing is, I mean, there's times when you look at the universe and you think, "What about me?" and you can just hear the universe replying, "Well, what about you?" Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time 4 QuotesLyfe
