A single grain was about to fall. And then... It didn't. CURIOUS Vetinari shrugged. "I've only just discovered drinks with little umbrellas. I'll let it fall in a bit" 1/17 471713516

I like it when posts go viral coz I'm a big show-off and the internet is responsible for most of my career. When you go viral you get new followers, fun replies, sometimes even industry interest omg.
