ok so, moist is my favorite discworld character. i love the guy, he’s just swell.

thing is, i’m not a native english speaker. even though i know and understand that ‘moist von lipwig’ is probably the weirdest name ever conceived, i just don’t fully get the full effect.

but today i checked to see what he’s called in the spanish version, and lemme tell you, seeing ‘húmedo von mustachen’ has taken like 15 years of my life and now i want to die.

oh.  oh my god.  I’m so sorry

I 100% can’t tell if you’re joking or not but we’re not talking about Adam Young the American singer and songwriter behind Owl City

We’re talking about Adam Young the fictional antichrist from the 1990 British absurdist comedy novel Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
