Cool Uncle: Difference between revisions

Line 32:

** Great-Uncle Louis thinks he's a Cool Uncle, but only Robbie really thinks he is.

* Nancy and Peggy's Uncle Jim, also known as "Captain Flint", in the ''[[Swallows and Amazons]]'' series. He lives on a houseboat, owns a [[Pirate Parrot]], and has travelled all over. A great part of the first book revolves around his nieces starting a private war with him, since he's taken up writing and become distant, therefore, in their minds, ceasing to be cool.

* ''[[Discworld]]'': City ruler Lord Havelock Vetinari is the epitome of cool and cunning. But from the novel ''[[~~Discworld/~~Night Watch|Night Watch]]'' onwards, the character of his only living relative, the aunt alluded to in ''[[~~Discworld/~~Guards! Guards!~~|Guards Guards~~]]'', is opened up a little: it is hinted that Vetinari learnt a lot of his skills from Auntie Bobbie (Lady Roberta de Meserole), who is a political manipulator, a Seamstress where she needs to be, possibly one of only a handful of female Assassins, and a lady of guile, insight, cunning and wisdom. She has certainly raised Havelock in loco parentis after the undetailed death of his parents. A second wise woman in Havelock Venturi's life, an aunt-like character, has been the vampire Lady Margollota (although some interpretations hint at a sexual relationship.)
