howl’s moving castle but rainduo (platonic ofc)

CRACKS MY KNUCKLES. hmc is such a Classic nonnie so i had to do a bit of thinking to get it right (well.... to get it right in my head. but i feel everyone here is familiar enough with my particular kind of rainduoisms by now) but i think the outcome is a fun one :] i'm just gonna put my thoughts into bullet points

now originally i wasn't sure who should be who (oh my little bottle blonde anarchist......) but i did decide to put wil in a howl ish role and niki in a sophie ish role on the basis of how hard howl weaves narratives around himself and how hard sophie does not GAF. that element of them stood out so much that i was like okay cool that's how we'll do it

so niki is doing something semi unfortunate with her life. NOT baking that's for sure. holding onto an empty shop for a long-gone (not that she admits that bit to herself) old friend, and she's quite lonely. and then after crossing paths briefly with the local dipshit wizard she gets cursed by a snooty ass witch of the waste (idk who this would be.... open to suggestions i suppose)

and wilbur is the least competent wizard ever :] why bother to stay in wizard school when you could mix your own potions and refuse any and all help out of pride and trade your heart away to a fire demon for some companionship?

(i'm taking this as another opportunity to spruik albatross wilbur btw i know the wings aren't as striking as sleek crow-black but - )

the fire demon in question is fundy, who sort of came into existence as a being with a personality and such after falling from the sky and receiving wilbur's heart. wilbur smothers him too much. there's not many other people he keeps around to smother. fundy wants out honestly

(oh and it's not super relevant but i think tommy is markl hehe)

so niki marches off to track down the wizard who she overheard the witch mentioned and... starts baking in his kitchen. okay a rainduo thing is being almost too familiar with each other let's be honest. but yes i think they latch onto each other quite quickly. niki is at first just looking to have her curse cured but being old and hanging out in the house with people who actually seem to give a shit about her is freeing in a way, no more getting tangled up in the politics of her small town as it lunges towards involvement in the war, etc. wilbur thinks she's fascinating.

as for the broader "what's happening in the world" perspective i was thinking it was something along the lines of the antarctic empire being at war with another power, drawing all of these small towns and microcountries along with it.... wilbur is supposed to go home to his family but he doesn't want to because he's afraid of facing the trail of small, easily destroyed countries left in his wake, he doesn't want to deal with phil's questions or the scrutiny that he expects from phil. instead, he tries to sabotage the war effort on his own from the frontline

so he keeps receiving letters from phil, but he can't bear to face him. solution? uh.... get niki to go lol. it's even on the grounds of a small country wilbur once ruled (niki had to squeeze this information out of him like a sponge, and she only heard an inkling of it thanks to fundy), now called manberg, which ceded to the empire in the war.............

surprise! it was actually schlatt trying to pull Some Bullshit as a revenge trick. he roasts the other witch and then almost sinks wilbur and niki into the Void but despite his tendency towards problem avoidance, wilbur steps in to defend niki and they just barely make it away. that being said, niki has learned a lot about her new friend through this adventure that he has not been willing to divulge himself, and it stings. why does he shut her out?

also notable: wilbur gives niki a ring inset with three diamonds to help her find her way home

the atmosphere in the castle is not fantastic after that, all their fun little memories bitter now. wilbur swings between talking freely about ripping the armies apart with his bare hands (claws? talons? that secret is out and he keeps evading all of niki's questions with nervous laughter and quips about monsters) and saying absolutely nothing at all. his suicidal tendencies are the elephant in the room that basically everyone else refuses to talk about, except his own too-grandiose and vague comments on the subject.

niki tries not to stew over feeling excluded. the lonelier she feels, the worse her curse gets.

wilbur takes her to a flower field, blooms rolling long into the horizon, and for a moment she thinks they might be fixing things. (she's so wrong)

through a series of mishaps (perhaps a visit from one of niki's friends..... i feel bad doing eret dirty like that though lmfao) henchmen start breaking into the house just as bombs fall upon the city. niki is put into overdrive to keep the castle from falling apart as the city burns around them. wilbur, who is already doing extremely too much flying around and causing problems in the midst of bombs dropping decides to go exacerbate the issue in an attempt to go out in a blaze of glory. unfortunately for him niki, fundy and tommy are all stubborn sons of bitches who will be extremely pissed if he fucking dies, so we pick up the castle and start moving

okay yeah i kind of think the rest of the story plays out not too differently from the movie? niki gets split up from her friends when the castle breaks down and attempts to kick a dent into a mountain when she realises she's alone again. unable to find wilbur himself, with the last bit of power from the diamonds he gave her she finds the doorway into his memories and sees the moment he and fundy met..... they were both very lonely. very sad. she shrieks out to both of them to look for her in the future

she stumbles out of the memory and finds a pile of feathers wilbur and woooo forehead kisses and wooooooo niki finds fundy again and puts wilbur's heart back even if it means they both might leave her again. BUT THEY DON'T even if they're not all in the castle 24/7 niki now has a few nice friends and is so submerged in that feeling that she doesn't even notice the curse breaking.

and the war ends!! and maybe they even talk about their hurts!! the hurts they carry and how they hurt each other!! and they keep on living!! and they all live best friendily ever after <3

[lloydfrontera]

Seems like tged is making you sad and angry about different parts, stop quick question: which summon would you prefer to pet? Assuming Lloyd isn't charging you for it.

ppodong no questions or hesitation. gimme the hamster rn.

i am guilty of the exact same thing as lloyd, my favorite child is very much ppodong, closely followed by bangul, then hamang and finally ggoming. i am not impartial nor above playing favorites (⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠；⁠)

[just-a-sewer-goblin]

I’ve never sent an ask to anyone before but I just had to say, I really love your stories!! Of course Butcher!Simon is an obvious fave but Baker!Johnny has a new special place in my heart 🖤 I hope you have a beautiful day/evening/night

Hi! It's really kind of you to tell me. Sending asks can take a lot of courage, thank you for doing it anyway. Especially for the first time!

I really love hearing from you guys and the fact that you took the time to press silly little buttons to let me know that you enjoy those stories makes me so incredibly happy.

Sadly I'm in the middle of my exams and you all will probably have to wait until after for a continuation of the stories.

I wish you a wonderful day/night/whatever time it is too. <3

[oh-katsuki]

same anon from before, just finished skip to loafer. I'm enjoying it, but it's kind of hard to explain why? like I know that the story is saying things and I can tell it's well written but I don't think I'd be able to explain or tell you exactly what those things are (that post about adult literacy being low is unfortunately true) so could you say what exactly it is that you like about it? also, shima kun is my type so that's fun. but I do think the friendships are nice and it's cool when the author shifts perspective to other characters. sorry for blabbing on

hii nonnie (good morning if it is also morning where you are)!! what I like about skip and loafer is the emphasis it places on platonic love and on the kinds of love that aren’t necessarily romantic. there’s a lot of emphasis on self love and self worth and recognizing yourself as someone worthy of proper love (mitsumi is an especially good example of this, especially with her relationship with shima and particularly when she breaks it off but expresses just how much he matters to her despite that). idk it’s just a good story about understanding that wanting vs being ready are two very different concepts and that one does not always correlate with the other.

I like that it does such justice to it’s character and their internal battles as well. egashira is a particularly interesting character and thought I don’t agree with the philosophy behind her “I got pretty sentiment”, it is something common among young women and that thought process is actually worked back as her relationship to Mitsumi and the other girls progresses. it’s just… I’m very fond of it. there’s so much more that I like about it, but this is what comes off the top of my head.

I just rly love coming of age stories and skip and loafer does that really really well, especially because romance exists in it, but it doesn’t feel like the core message (instead, friendship does).

[stunie]

You are keeping the windbreaker x reader fandom alive… thank you 🪽🪽🪽

i think i just talk a lot nonnie 🥺

[ghost-proofbaby]

any updates on shire is burning ?🥹🥹🥹

this is one of the nicer asks i've gotten regarding it so i'ma respond just using you my lovely nonnie <3

it's a work in progress!! not abandoned but i don't push myself to write it or put it out as quickly, and i definitely am far more critical with it than i am with other fics since willow and eddie are my babies.

i wish i could give a more exact timeline of when to expect an update, but i'm really just vibing over here as i write it haha <3 probably not terribly soon considering i don't have a majority of the chapter written yet, tho :-(

[lululawrence]

There's a new omegaverse fic fest for 1d, are you signing up?

Dndbdjsvsjdb IS THERE??? If the timing works out with big bang well enough then hell yeah, I’m in!

Someone wanna link me to this fest? Haha

[absolute-flaming-trash]

Not me reading some Alastor (noncon woops) smut and thinking "man i can't wait to see what ri would come up with for this guy"

your writing lives in my head rent free istg

My dear, I just wanted to let you know I've been Going Through It and your message has made my day, so thank you.

I do plan to write for Alastor, I just don't know when anything will be out. Times are a little yikes at the moment.

But your comment made me smile.

[w0niecult]

hello lovie! 💕 i have a question about your ask rules! i saw that you don’t write about ddlg or age play, but would you consider age regression one of those?? absolutely nothing sexual about it, just a headspace where the reader feels safe and comfortable and one of the members being their caregiver?? if you’re not comfy with this then that’s fine!! just wanted to make sure before sending any asks!💕💕

HIIII MY LOVELY NONNIE

So what I see as age-play/ddlg is someone pretending to be a minor for sexual purposes (hence why I won’t write it), which is obviously different from age-regression because I’m pretty sure that’s for de-stressing and a way to cope with trauma or heal your inner child.

And while I’m not completely against the idea of writing age-regression fanfics for you, nonnie, I don’t know a whole lot about it, so could you please educate my uncultured butt? 😫?

I am gonna say that if I don’t feel comfortable writing it, please know that that’s not a judgement on you or anyone else, nonnie!! I would never make fun of someone for their interests/coping mechanisms

have a nice day, my love <3

[happi-tree]

I noticed your paper rings songfic so I thought this would be fitting, inspired by long live <3 I associated it the most with terry jr., not quite as dramatic as hero’s but still a heartache considering everything that happens later with them

tonight was a victory. yelling and running across the field, whooping like schoolboys- it was a spontaneous soccer game at the dads’ insistence, reminding you of the game you played with yeet and killa before the battle in faerun. the world kept ending and you kept fighting, and you know time is running out for you to still be boys, still be sons. this might even have been the last time. everything these days feels like it's happening for the last time.

they tend to look to you for a stabilizing influence. right now, the five of you are sprawled across morgan freeman’s living room. sparrow and nick are dozing, lark and grant occasionally commenting on the movie and digging through the last of the snacks. right now it’s not your job to be the mature one, to be anything. right now your only job is to sit right here between grant and sparrow and avoid the hot tamales lark scattered in the popcorn and laugh, unrestrained- and you do.

you glance over to grant, smile wide on your face. it never feels quite real, to grin with abandon like this, but right now you are nineteen and the whole world is a bright shining coin, falling head-over-heels heads-over-tails so bright you hope it blinds you.

it would be nice, if this was the last thing you ever saw, your best friends and a hope close at hand.

“hey,” you say, “will you promise me something?”

you’re the historian, the poet of the group, they’ve always said so. sparrow takes his pictures and you paste them in and write the captions in the scrapbook henry gave you. grant rolls his eyes, affectionate, and places his hands in yours.

“yes,” he says seriously, dramatically. oh, he loves you- they all do. this is what it is, to be loved and indulged in. sweet brown eyes, smile soft as the blanket around your knees.

“we get this forever, right? we’re not- not gonna get fucked up.” he wouldn’t have chosen this group, if he was honest. of all the kids on the soccer team, it was an unlikely four to end up being closer than family. that was the real inheritance of being ron stampler’s stepson. you got the abusive step-grandfather, sure, but you also got the wilsons and the close-fosters and the oak-garcias. he didn’t ask anything of you other than to be loved. you used to wonder how that man could ever be so bold as to consider himself a father; now you just hope you can be just as gentle in your expectations and legacy with your own child, someday.

grant holds your hand tighter. you feel sparrow’s head nestle in just that much closer on your shoulder. nick’s fingers idly strum his guitar strings, humming in that way they all like.

“yes,” grant promises. “no bullshit. we’re gonna stay good.”

lark’s fingers are running through nick’s hair. you don’t see him use magic very often, but it’s casting its own kind of spell. nick’s eyes are half-closed, relaxed in a way that if you squint, you could almost find familiar, in that part of you they say must have existed before the timelines split. you settle into the comfort of another timeline still running parallel in which you are all just as good as you are now.

AAAAAAAA NONNIE THIS IS SO SWEET 🥺🥺🥺 Thank you so much!!! Terry's one of my favorites of the kiddads, especially his s1 iteration, and you write him so well!!! Mentally I am hanging this up in my mind like a treasured painting where I can look at it frequently. Your writing is absolutely PHENOMENAL, lovebird, and I hope you know how much simultaneous joy and heartbreak it brings me!

I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day, Nonnie! I will be thinking about this for the rest of the week <3

[hungharrington]

you and autumn are both incredible so when you share ideas it leaves me with chest pain 😵‍💫

hear that @lilacletter? ur gonna be liable for sun serious medical bills soon if your big juicy brain doesn’t learn to calm down 😳

[aceofwhump]

Well it's officially the end of another year and I felt like I simply couldn't let it end without taking a moment to thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, my dear beautiful Ace. We may not know each other personally, you may just be a random nerdy stranger off the internet but I cannot begin to tell you how much I freaking adore you and how much have done for me this past year. How much joy and comfort you have provided me with. Sometimes life can be hard and whump is one of the things that brings me happiness and I know this blog is always here should I need to escape from it for a little while.

You are a shining light in this community, a ray of sunshine but most importantly you're a wonderful person, a kind, generous, compassionate, caring soul, who has provided such a safe space for many people, not only gracing us with your awe inspiring talent and providing us with such marvellous content but your beautiful, beautiful heart.

No matter what, you're always there ready to lend a listening ear, to offer advice or reassurance, to fulfil our gif requests or answer any whump related questions we may have. No matter what, we can always rely on you to be there for whatever we may need or require. We are all so blessed to have you. You're like a big sister to us all and we'd be so lost without you, my angel. Not only are you a gift to this community but a gift to this world. It needs more people like you.

And finally and perhaps most importantly, I wanted to say that thanks to you I have accepted who I am, both in terms of my enjoyment of whump and my asexuality. I come out of this year feeling less alone. I come out of this year understanding myself a lot better and no longer feeling like a sadistic, cold, emotionless freak and that is the greatest gift anyone could have given me. I hope this year is kind to you and gives you everything you've ever dreamed of. You're one in a million and I love you 3000 ❤

I am legitimately crying right now, nonny. A lot of happy tears happening right now. Lots and lots of happy tears. I did see this last night and I've read this so many times now and I've cried every single time. This is the absolute nicest thing in the world. I cannot even begin to properly explain how touched I am by this message. Thank you thank you thank you!!! I...I literally have no words. There are no words to tell you how much this message means to me. I'm going to save it in my phone and any time I feel down I'm going to pull it out and read it because it fills my heart with such joy I could burst.

I'm so happy that I can provide a place for people to feel happy, safe, and accepted. I love what I do here. I love talking with you all about whatever you want to talk about. I love being a place you all feel safe to come to when you want to talk or need help or have whumpy needs or questions about anything. I love that so much. I love you all so freaking much. So so much.

God bless you my dear. I'm blown away. I wish you the very best that life has to offer this year. May it be full of love and happiness and may things go easy for you.

[lit-in-thy-heart]

I just discovered your blog and your merlin fics on archive of our own! They're so good and I really love your aus - especially the coffee shop ones (who doesn't love a coffee shop au, let's be real) :-) What's a fic that you've always wanted to exist but either can't force yourself to sit down and write or desperately want someone else to write first?

Hello there!! Please know this has made my night and I'm glad that my fics have been bringing you a bit of joy <3 costa criminals my beloved, they're so much fun to write and, good news anon, I have got another one in the series partially written and a rather chaotic follow-up planned, I'm just currently jumping between about 4 different wips so the posting process is a little slower than usual

Oooh that's a great question! One fic idea that I've had for two years now but have never been able to sit down and write past vague vibes is my Gwaincelot Bridgerton AU (posted about here and here). There are a few Merthur ones on ao3 and some general Regency AUs, but Gwaincelot could be so much fun...I've just never got around to actually writing it 😅 another one is a merwaincelot assassin au that would be cool but, again, I've just never found the time for

Thank you for dropping by anon, hope you have a great day! 💜

[nalyra-dreaming]

Just wanted to send you some flowers to counterbalance the angry anons: 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Aww that is so sweet of you thank you nonny!!!
