    I like the idea of Death in the Discworld. You get what you believe in. That’s why some isolated tribes kill evangelist on site , hell only exists if you believe in it.

    The monk that believes in reincarnation is always so excited to start again but wishes he would remember more, only remembering his other lives in the time he is dead.

    The long desert that Brutha believes in is special when he decides to save Vorbis, and walks it together, even though he is like a messiah and Vorbis should be condemned to suffer his loneliness forever.

    I fucking love The Small Gods book so much

      What happens if someone believes that death is only temporary, and every time they die, they’ll come back to life in an even more powerful form 1 day later?

        Death is a specific entity so he has to make it happen and there’s lots of things that he nopes lol Like people that become ghosts, he is always like yeah it’s weird that nobody tells you what happens next bye! and the ghost has to figure it out for themselves
