I have a disease and it’s called every time I read chapter 19 of Howl’s Moving Castle I go absolutely insane

[hetiwr]

thinking about how the names "howell" and "jenkins" are incredibly common in england and wales and that dwj essentially named her wizard the equivalent of "john smith". LMFAO

[hetiwr]

hmc is so much funnier when you remember it's set in the 80s and howl being in wales is probably wearing acid wash jeans and has a mullet.

what if i went insane and edited all my icons to look like book!sophie

[hetiwr]

the best part of miyazaki’s adaptation of howl’s moving castle is that it’s like,,,,book!howl propaganda. this is the howl that welsh asshole wanted u to see. the romance!!! the elegance!!!!! the soundtrack!!!!!!! no mention of the time he got ass-backwards drunk with his rugby mates bc he was scared of fighting the witch of the waste!!! perfect

[hetiwr]

𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐖𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐅-𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐔𝐓𝐄. As vain as Howl can be, Sophie imagines that ignoring him completely — rather than rising to his bait — would be far better than trying to argue with him; though, admittedly, she must bite her tongue rather hard to keep her counsel. For one, she has raised two sisters practically herself, curbing the temper tantrum of a grown man should be child's play. For another, she has nowhere to go should Howl grow tired of this game and see fit to cast her out.

Sophie cannot go back to Market Chipping. Not like this. Nor can she leave Calcifer and Howl in the state they are in — she'd made a promise ( or rather, a clumsy sort of contract ) to break the curse between Calcifer and his wizard in exchange for the fire demon breaking her own curse.

Of course, she says nothing of this to Howl. Instead, Sophie uses the brief pause of silence to gather herself and cool her own temper. ❝ Well, you know an awful lot about these dishes for someone who doesn't clean them, ❞ she quips, though it is not unkind in its delivery, and mostly to herself. In fact, there's a bit of a half-smile on her lips, tugging at the corner of her wrinkled mouth. Teasing. ❝ ... I like cleaning. It's what I'm good at. Now — what manner of chaos are you concocting today? Should I get the broom? ❞

@hetiwr. 𝐒𝐎𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐀 𝐍𝐀𝐆, but Howl seemed to have the uncanny ability of bringing out the worst in her. His flippancy towards the mess that was the moving castle only seemed to exacerbate her ire. Not even a day had gone by that she'd cleaned the bathroom from top to bottom — careful not to rearrange his various perfumes and potions this time — that Howl had sequestered himself in there only to re-emerge hours later, leaving a disaster in his wake. Halfway through washing dishes, she'd said something ill-tempered about it when his perfume permeated the room before he did. Her weathered face was stern and calculating. One of these days, someone will catch your eye and then you’ll have to watch your tongue, he quipped. She didn't realise when her shock manifested into something more than just her brows rising into her hairline, but for just a fraction of a second, her wrinkled face blurred into something young and pretty. Gone as quickly as it had come, Sophie angrily turned back to the dishes. Her scrubbing was noticeably more violent.

❝ Bah! Don't be ridiculous, ❞ she said. ❝ I'm far too old for that nonsense now. ❞

if ever there were a word howl could be called for absolute certain,   it would be observant.   there are things the wizard could never miss,   even if it flickered for the span of an eye blink.   this isn't the first time he's seen sophie's curse waver before in the face of some shocking revelation,   and never is it enough time for him to formulate some guess as to who she is beneath it.

what a shame,   thinks howl,   almost sadly,   that she keeps this curse on herself of her own doing.   and perhaps it's a shame,   too,   that he will never mention that he knows    by a generous slip of the tongue   ( then a descent into actual,   contrite-faced explanation )   by calcifer    for to admit that he knows such a thing is to admit that he has gone to some lengths to dispel the curse from her.   mostly when her back was turned,   but sometimes,   too,   when she was away dreaming of some thing or another.   he would rather die than admit that aloud.

but she must really enjoy herself now.    ❝    there is no such thing as 'far too old',   ❞    he points out,   his finger pointing to some corner of the ceiling.    ❝    nobody is far too old for anything.   for instance,   you should be far too old to threaten my dishes to the point where they're on the brink of shattering into a thousand pieces.   that would give you so much more to have to clean up.    ❞    he stomps his heel on the wooden floor.   her anger really is contagious.    ❝    and you should be far too old to willingly endure slaving away as a cleaning lady.   but here you are,   toiling away of your own free will !   i'm certain if you stick your long nose into that dishwater,   my perfume won't bother you anymore !    ❞

my friends introduced me to epic ( the concept albums ) and after listening to "just a man" from the troy saga album, it feels very harpy!howl going off to war. thank u. that is all.

Eleanor Tomlinson singing ‘Medhel an Gwyns’ in Poldark.

‘Medhel an gwyns’ comes from the Welsh “Meddal yw’r gwynt’ (’Soft is the wind’)

Memories like voices that call on the wind Medhel an gwyns, medhel an gwyns Whispered and tossed on the tide coming in Medhel, oh, medhel an gwyns Voices like songs that are heard in the dawn Medhel an gwyns, medhel an gwyns Singing the secrets of children unborn Medhel, oh, medhel an gwyns Dreams like the memories once born on the wind Medhel an gwyns, medhel an gwyns Lovers and children, and copper and tin Medhel, oh, medhel an gwyns Dreams like the castles that sleep in the sand Medhel an gwyns, medhel an gwyns Slipped through the fingers or held in the hand Medhel, oh, medhel an gwyns Songs like the dreams that the bal-maiden spin Medhel an gwyns, medhel an gwyns Weaving the song of the cry of the tin Medhel, oh, medhel an gwyns Medhel an gwyns, medhel an gwyns Medhel, oh, medhel an gwyns….

❛ I have a most generous offer for you. ❜

❛ Now, beg my forgiveness. Get down on your knees. Beg. Make it pretty. Flowery. Worthy of me. ❜

❛ You defied me. More than once. Your only hope is to throw yourself on my mercy in front of everyone. Do it or I will keep on hurting you until there is nothing left to hurt. ❜

❛ There is no shame in surrender. ❜

❛ You think because you can humiliate me, you can control me? ❜

❛ I tried to do what you wanted, but I couldn't, and I don't want you to hate me for it. It's my life. ❜

❛ Our lives are the only real thing we have, our only coin. We get to buy what we want with them. ❜

❛ I guess it is your life to squander, but I don't have to watch. ❜

❛ Let me sweeten that sour tongue of yours. ❜
