I love this moment. I love it, because Agent Carter she is historically accurate.
American servicemen serving in the UK were issued pamphlets reminding them that the UK women had been in that war longer than the Americans had and deserved their respect:
A British woman officer or non-commissioned officer can and often does give orders to a male private. The men obey smartly and know it is no shame. For British women have proven themselves in this war. They have stuck to their posts near burning ammunition dumps, delivered messages afoot after their motorcycles have been blasted from under them. They have pulled aviators from burning planes. They have died at the gun posts and as they fell another girl has stepped directly into the position and “carried on.” There is not a single record in this war of any British woman in uniformed service quitting her post or failing in her duty under fire.
Now you understand why British soldiers respect the women in uniform. They have won the right to the utmost respect. When you see a girl in khaki or air-force blue with a bit of ribbon on her tunic – remember she didn’t get it for knitting more socks than anyone else in Ipswitch.
No wonder she decks him. And no wonder his boss believes he deserves it.
[He had] this amazing, seething anger. You could see that there were people who had pissed him off when he was 11, that he hadn’t yet forgiven. And not only had he not forgiven them – he’d stored it up. He knew exactly why he hated them, exactly why they were wrong … and he’d put it in a Discworld book.
Have I told you guys how much I adore Fatherly Splinter? Guh ♥ I can imagine him telling the boys to stay close so they don’t get lost in the first few years.
When a vampire washes itself, rain will fall from heaven. Thus, when a drought occurs, nobles send all their men to wash, because any of them may be a vampire.

This is so amazing to picture. Like ok men, we know PROBABLY some of you are vampires. IT HAPPENS. This is old timey Romania. That’s how it works. So hey don’t worry, no questions asked, personal business is personal business, but if EVERYONE would just go take a shower we would really appreciate it. Thanks.
