He'd never realized that, deep down inside, what he really wanted to do was make things go splat.

It is the fate of all banisters worth sliding down that there is something nasty waiting at the far end.

“Overhead, a lilac tree was in bloom. [Vimes] stared. Damn! Damn! Damn! Every year he forgot. Well, no. He never forgot. He just put the memories away, like old silverware that you didn’t want to tarnish.” -Terry Pratchett, Night Watch

Yes, and Vimes admits it himself. It is why he sends his younger self away in #Nightwatch. He admits the excuse of "because it is me doing it" is a weak one. He admits that part of what he is doing looks and feels like it is torture even if he thinks it isn't. Spoiler: He's wrong. Threatening torture, and implying torture, are still classed as a form of torture.

#SamVimes is #ACAB, but he is trying his best not to be.

A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores.
