I think the most beautiful thing about writing of Howl and Sophie's pair is that they are written as people before being written as a pair. Let me explain this very quick.

The thing about book Sophie and Howl is that they are not really fully fitting into any "classic" romantic trope. They are not exactly enemies to lovers, as their angry chats are definitely cannot be considered a life or death battle, they are not rivals to lovers because the only aspect of rivalry between them is the cleaningness of Howl's room. They are not friends to lovers, as their relationship just doesn't fit into "friendship" structure at the very start, nor they are roomates (yes, they live in the same house but that's not the core aspect of their relationships). Of course, you can go on and fit the name of the trope you found specifically for them, but that's the thing.

They simply cannot be processed through a pairings lenses only, in order to understand how they act in relationship you need to analyse them separately, as a characters first of all. Cause that's what the book itself does!

Sure, it doesn't have a whole lot of romance instead, but it gives us time to learn and observe the life of incredibly written, alive characters, understand them as personalities first of all, while slowly immersing the dynamic between two characters (in this case, Howl and Sophie) into work. They are written as personalities, both being fully separated and interviewing, changing eachother's point of view.

It's difficult to find a trope for them. They're are not a trope. They are Howl and Sophie, and that's probably the only way their dynamic can be properly described. Just as real people, they are not really fitting into the boxes of linial character progression, but go way deeper into being complex, filled with little differences and moments only people with their personality can have in romantic (or any different) kind of interaction. They're imperfect, and silly, and multidimensional and the reader knows them well enough to imagine them interacting way beyond of what the book says to them.

They are being people before being a ship, a pair of a trope — and that's why they work so perfectly charming in the end.

Howl and Sophie are unique in being themselves.

I love Arcane because on the one hand you have this bitter, angry young woman who was kidnapped and illegally detained in a federal prison for pretty much the entirety of her teen years, and when she's finally set free she finds that nothing is as she remembers it, all the people she once knew are either gone or irreversibly changed, and she doesn't know where her place in the world is anymore.

And then on the other hand you have this rich girl nepo baby rookie cop taking two steps outside her own neighborhood and being hit with the realization that her government REALLY FUCKING SUCKS.

And they're gay.

been distracted by them lately but i’m obsessed with the permanent dagger squad so here’s a very rough draft of some of my (overlapping) hcs for them

(someone please talk to me about them pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease)

tiktok hunger games fans are like the fucking worst. half of them are so desperate to let people know that there's a Message to the book and that they understood the Morals and Themes and Messages of the book that cant look past book canon or have some fun and the other half is making ocs and slapping katniss and peeta's name on them while making the most outlandish conspiracy theories. you cant fucking do anything on there

[cosmiado]

Top 5 ships not including Dialuci (because we know dialuci reigns supreme)

One

SOLOBARB

Two guys with divorced energy having delectable hate sex that has consequences to the plot with diametrically opposed goals. Oh and one of them is the most powerful being of all time and the other guy has a magical leash on him, the only one who does.

You know that trope where someone nurses someone back to health in a cave? Yeah that actually happened.

Thirteen said Solomon’s soul used to sparkle, and we know that Barbatos had regrets when he was younger- hello, empty space, let me settle on your bountiful lands.

Two

SOLOMEON

They literally have a nuclear family unit.

These two are theatre-gays commenting on the events of the plot in their little opera house, two narrators bouncing ideas off each other.

Solomon, the human with immortality, and at one point in time, Simeon, the angel who became mortal. Discuss.

Three

SATISTO

Anti-Lucifer League up to eleven!

Satan the learned gentleman who has to rein in his uncouth side and Mephistopheles who was born into a family with ideas of inherent nobility. Nature vs Nurture.

They’re both well-connected people and have the potential to destabilize the entire Devildom in a well-orchestrated political plot if they didn’t actually carry affection for Diavolo and/or Lucifer.

Four

SOLODEUS

All I learned making this top 5 list is that Solomon is sluttier than Asmo, and he’s also a switch.

Asmo definitely power-bottoms this guy. That is where the hickey came from.

It doesn’t matter that Solomon has a pact with Asmo, the guy is wrapped around Asmo’s finger and will do whatever he wants, including carrying him around bridal style and doing face masks with him.

Five

THIRTEENxFMC

Chaos. Actual chaos.

“Teehee I made a trap, do you wanna know what it does?” “OMG YES!” “If I pull the trigger-wait MC no!” “Oop.”

This is my stand-in for ThirteenxLilith. The soul caretaker x the most beautiful soul.

[fireheartwraith]

I don't get the obsession with defining "oh i'm a dkbk" "i'm a bkdk". Guys. They're the same characters

SHIPPING CALL — primarily i mean mostly romantic type ships, but i do enjoy a good ride or die bestie-ship.  second verse, same as the first:  give this a like, i'll slide into your dms and we'll see what we shake out.  this is speed dating where we see if your blorbo in any way meshes well with my weirdo tree.  this isn't the romance lockdown, this is the…slow deep scene of rp where we gauge interest and go from there.

Love this.
