Ah ja ...

I love this book so much. Sophie is so lovable and funny.

Okay no I need to talk about the book version of Howl's Moving Castle. I love the movie but the book has such a different vibe and you, yes you, should read it.

Movie Howl is a soulful and quiet. Book Howl is a drama queen and Causing Problems and has a long string of jilted exes and couldn't shut up if you paid him.

Sophie and Howl drive each other up the wall at the beginning and it's really funny. Sophie and Howl are (despite themselves) very much in love by the end and they still drive each other up the wall and it's even funnier.

In the movie, Howl has been ordered by the king to participate in The War, and Howl is avoiding it because he is a brave conscientious objector. In the book, Howl has been ordered by the king to rescue his lost brother from the Witch of the Wastes, and Howl is avoiding it by any means necessary because he is a cowardly weasel who wants to stay as far from the Witch as possible.

In the movie, the Witch cursed Sophie because she was jealous about Howl speaking to Sophie for five minutes. In the book, the Witch cursed Sophie because Sophie had been doing surprisingly powerful magic for years without knowing it and it was actually starting to cut into the Witch's plans. (Sophie does not discover any of this until nearly the end of the book, but the reader can start to pick it up much earlier and the way Sophie's magic works is pretty darn cool.)

In the movie, there's a rumor that Howl eats the hearts of maidens, but this is implied to be nothing but nasty fearmongering. In the book, there's a rumor that Howl eats the hearts of maidens because Howl started the rumor so people would stop asking him to do wizard junk all the time.

The book lightly parodies a couple of tropes from Western fairy tales. In particular Sophie has internalized that, as the eldest of three sisters, her "destiny" is to fail so that her younger sisters will look cooler when they succeed, which is why she's so resigned to the hat shop at the beginning. (Sidebar: Sophie's sisters come up much more in the book and they're great.) There's also a really funny bit where Sophie attempts to operate a pair of seven-league boots.

In the movie, the fourth and final location that the magic door connects to is some sort of black void / mindscape / time portal dealy. In the book the fourth location is Wales, in the UK, on Earth, so that Howl can visit his family, because from Howl's perspective this is an isekai story.

(Warning: Wilfred (US) Season 4 Spoiler)

I am SO glad that Ryan didn't end up with Jenna. They were and would be such a terrible couple and I was so happy that the team did NOT make them end game. While them cuddling in bed was super cute, that was mostly done to the wonderful acting done by Elijah and Fiona (the forehead kiss??? Help?!).

Attraction does not equal a healthy relationship and throughout all the seasons the showrunners and the characters were so clear that Ryan was giving her too much and doing too much for her and that Jenna was aware of that and let it happen anyway. I don't think she doesn't care for him at all btw! She's a good, realistic character with flaws, as we all have. But he is a very giving person and friend (read: people pleaser and afraid of rejection and confrontation) and she clearly relies on him heavily for dogsitting, help with issues in her life, emotional support... It's giving heavy early The Big Bang Theory Penny and Leonard vibes.

And I also think it's a good message that a person struggling with mental health and loss should NOT hurry into a relationship. Ryan is clearly unwell and focusing on himself and his healing is so much better use of his time and energy than a relationship with someone who he'd try to please at every possible moment so that she doesn't leave. Having stable relationships and a support system does not have to include a partner, especially a new one. Him realizing that he idolized her was so important to help him let go.

Besides, I don't hate Drew and Jenna together. I actually think Drew deserves better. From all we know, his worst flaw is that he gets competitive in games. He is a very sweet, friendly guy who is trying his best.

So, in conclusion, I'm really glad that it went this way. Fiona and Elijah did such a good job with these characters and I love the end message: Don't settle, don't let yourself be walked over, be in a healthy, equally-giving relationship and maybe heal yourself before you take on problems of other people.

P. S.: The conclusion to the relationship to Amanda is so brilliant as well. Her being a mirror to him in their mental health journeys and choosing healing over love was such a good plotline. Refusing to be sucked back into the madness of Wilfred, something that Ryan hasn't been able to do for four seasons! I hope she's doing well, what a queen.

moonlight and love songs (never out of date)    

After discovering Geralt has never been courted before, Jaskier tries to fix the situation. (4.1k ☆ also on AO3)

“It’s unacceptable!”

“Jaskier…”

“But it is! Everyone should be courted once in a while, given flowers, taken on dates and everything. Doted on. The doting is quite important. It’s a full experience! An integral part of the human experience, I might add. You, of all people, shouldn’t be left out.”

Jaskier keeps on chewing his food, his chin bulging like a grumpy squirrel. If it weren’t for the tight frown on his face, he almost looks adorable like this.

Geralt simply picks at the carrots in his bowl, trying to push them to one side. The kitchen must have forgotten again. “As you said. Human experience.” He shrugs.

The squawk Jaskier lets out is so sharp it draws attention from the table next to them.

“You know perfectly well what I meant! You being a witcher has nothing to do with it!”

“Why are you so worked up anyway? So what I’ve never been…wooed?” Geralt sighs. “It just never happened. I don’t even care.”

Jaskier’s frown becomes a pout. Something shifts in his eyes as he continues staring at Geralt, his food ignored. He has that look again, like he’s seeing right through Geralt.

Geralt recognizes that look.

So he looks down to avoid it. He always avoids that look.
