List of some movies that I enjoy and the books they’re based on which often have different vibes than the movie but both are equally good in different ways

Howl’s Moving Castle: The book is titled the same but has very different vibes (movie is more whimsical fantasy while book feels more like realistic fantasy if that makes sense) and also has two companion books in which Howl and Sophie make appearances! Book by Dianna Wynne Jones

Kiki’s Delivery Service: The book is titled the same but again very different vibes (Movie Kiki deals with depression and losing your passion and Book Kiki is cute little witch dealing with people’s problems in cute little witch ways) Book by Eiko Kadono

Stardust: Book titled the same but different vibes (movie is intense and life threatening adventures, book is more fun travel adventures and much slower paced) Book by Neil Gaiman

The Secret of Moonacre: The book is titled The Little White Horse (similar to Stardust the book is a lot slower paced and less life threatening adventures but just as fun and interesting as well as a lot of characters have more depth to them than in the movie) Book by Elizabeth Goudge

The Last Unicorn: Book has same name (from what I remember the book is almost word for word exactly like the movie) Book by Peter S Beagle

Ella Enchanted: Book has the same name (ok this one is a little more controversial. In my opinion the book has a lot more depth and is a lot more interesting in the world building and characters, and the movie is a horrible adaptation. But if you look at the movie as a completely separate thing it is still enjoyable and has fun songs and is a classic from my childhood) Book by Gail Carson Levine

Mary and the Witch’s Flower: The book is titled The Little Broomstick (I have yet to read it but I have just checked it out so I will make sure to update this once I’ve read it! I expect the book will probably have better world building as the movie was fun but didn’t have time to go into depth and the mechanics of the witch’s world) Book by Mary Stewart

Earwig and the Witch: Book titled the same (I also have yet to read this book but have just checked it out and will update later. I think it’ll probably be similar to what I expect with the Little Broomstick where it will probably show a more developed world) Book by Dianna Wynne Jones

Ronja the Robber’s Daughter: Technically not a movie but a tv series. Book has the same name (I also haven’t read it but have just checked it out and will update but I think the show was very well done story wise though the animation wasn’t my favorite and I expect that it probably followed the book fairly closely) Book by Astrid Lindgren

Avalon High: Book has same name and similar plot but characters are switched around (this is actually one where I like the movie a lot better. I feel like the book is extremely predictable and does exactly what you expect to happen while the movie switches it up in a fun way that I feel like also makes sense and isn’t just doing it for the shock factor) Book by Meg Cabot

Tales From Earthsea: One book from the Earthsea Cycle has the same name (I’ve only read the first two books and so technically haven’t gotten to the book that the movie has been adapted from but it’s on my list and I will update once I eventually get to it. So essentially I’ve read the prequels that lead up to the events in the movie and I’ve heard the movie is vaguely different but has similar themes and plot points to the book) Books by Ursula K Le Guin

That’s all I can think of for now but if you have any suggestions to add let me know and I’ll see if I’ve watched the movie and read the books and if so I’ll make an addition to this post!

#and don’t try to suggest HP I will not be talking about that cuz Rowling is scum #I also won’t be talking about Percy Jackson cuz so many people already talk about it and I enjoy it but this is for less well known books #books #howls moving castle #howls moving castle book #kiki's delivery service #stardust #the last unicorn #the earthsea cycle #Ella enchanted #earwig and the witch #ronja the robber’s daughter #the little broomstick #mary and the witch's flower #the secret of moonacre #the little white horse #Avalon high

I have seen/heard Tim Curry in some of the WILDEST places in my childhood.

I’ve experienced him as…

Long John Silver in Muppet’s Treasure Island (live action, pirate, villain)

Coeur de Noir / Sir William de Noir in The Secret of Moonacre (live action, lord, villain)

Hexxus in FernGully: The Last Rainforest (voice actor, spirit of pollution and death (?), villain)

Drake in The Pebble and the Penguin (voice actor, jock and bully penguin, villain)

Forte in Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (voice actor, a fucking pipe organ, villain)

Ben Ravencroft in Scooby Doo! and the Witch’s Ghost (voice actor, warlock, villain)

The Skull in Bartok the Magnificent (voice actor, the… skull, chaotic neutral?) ((side note: yes, this IS a spin off for the bat that helps Rasputin in the movie Anastasia!))

The Mouse/Rat King in Barbie in the Nutcracker (voice actor, mouse/rat king (duh), villain)

Nigel Thornberry in The Wild Thornberrys TV series (voice actor, kind of a ginger cartoon version of Steve Irwin but more incompetent, chaotic good)

Professor Calamitous in The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius TV series (voice actor, mad scientist, villain)

Like this guy… did he just look at his thriving career and say: I’m going to pick the WEIRDEST POSSIBLE CHARACTERS and make them 100000 TIMES BETTER with my VERY PRESENCE!

Like some of these movies are so niche and unheard of. Why would he ever agree to them?

Because he’s Tim fucking Curry, and he’s amazing. That’s why.

It’s literally canon that Robin De Noir is the type to act all tough and cool, then whine and cry as soon as he has the tiniest inconvenience for more than three seconds.

Hello! My friends and I just watched The Secret of Moonacre, and we were wondering if these exposed bustles in the dress were ever a thing. I wasn't sure what to do other than a quick google search, but I've been following you for a while, and hoped you might have some insights!

Not that I'm aware of! In the era this is riffing on bustle-wise (mid-late 1880s, looks like), great pains were taken to hide the lines of the bustle beneath the skirt. In fact, earlier satirical cartoons mocked the way "ignorant" maids supposedly wore cage crinolines by showing Visible Hoop Line:

(The Way To Wear 'Em, March 1864. Cage crinolines/hoop skirts were cheap and universally popular, which made some upper-class people very nervous about a potential narrowing of the symbolic gap between Haves and Have Nots.This manifested in classist satire, often tinged with anti-Irish prejudice in the US since many Irish immigrants worked in domestic service here.)

The hooping-wire used to create such understructures was meant to be hidden by a petticoat between the hoops or bustle and the outer skirt.

You do sometimes see much earlier Spanish farthingales worn as overskirts with decorative, colorful "ribs":

(Salome from the St. John Retable, Pedro Garcia de Benabarre, c. 1470-80)

but I don't think that's what the movie has adapted for its costumes

of course, it's a fantasy not set in our world at all, so the inaccuracy doesn't bother me. but there's the history behind it, since you asked!

Run In The Woods (Robin De Noir X Reader)

Summary: Y/n is Maria best friend and is staying with her with Maria uncle, but the De Noir thinks she is a Merrywether so Robin tries to kidnap her

Pronouns: she/her

Pairing: Robin De Noir and Y/N Y/L/N

Warning: nearly kidnapped, knife threat, swearing, pet names, kissing

-------------------------------------------------------

Y/N Pov

Moving with Maria was not on my to do list. Moving and dealing with my friends family was not on my to do list. So why am I even hear?

Well me and Maria have been close friends since we were a baby we basically grew up together. Maria was there when my parents died when I was twelve. And I was there when her parent's died.

But as Maria was the only closest thing I had to her as family she did not want to lose me, so here I am staying in the Moonacre mansion with my best friend.

To be honest I find this place a bit strange like there is something hidden in the walls for me to find. Or something that can pop out and kill the living life of me. Like for example a dog that can turn into a lion. How crazy is that!

"Hey Maria, I'm going to head down to the steam again" I told my friend walking into her room.

"Let me guess, to clear your head?" Maria asked raising a brow. She knows me too well. We are almost like sisters.

"You know me" I said chuckling.

"I'll be back soon. Promise" I told my dear friend while she said bye to me.

Ever since I got here I have a thing with nature. I love the green trees when the sun hits them. The soft grass when you walk with no shoes on to find the glass tinkle your feet. The sounds of birds when they fly about. The smell of fresh new flowers being grown and of course the sound of the steam that shimmers in the light and the feel of the cold water touch my hot hands.

That is what I love about nature. And I feel free when I walk in these woods not feeling any danger or lost.

I got to the steam and I sat down on a rock near the steam, I smile at my reflection and put my feet on the cold water. It feels good.

Even though back at London was boring and all this place is more quiet then London is and I wonder if something is wrong or it is just my brain talking.

I heard a branch snap behind me making me gasp as I turn my head I noticed a few boys maybe about my age in black reach me. I stand up to turn to them as they gather in a small group.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here boys" a boy with curly brunette hair that wears a hat, and brown eyes said with a cocky smirk on his face.

I then recognize him as the boy at Maria's dad's funeral and the bit trying to take Maria when we were in the carriage.

"Can I help you?" I asked sarcastically with eye brows raised while I look at all seven boys.

I zoom out what he was saying while I just stare at this boy. He is hot for sure but he seems bad news and someone that gives me red flag straight away.

"Did you not hear me little dove" I zoom back in at the mention of he's voice.

"I'm sorry you were saying?" I asked sarcastically. I really don't want to put up with these boys.

"I said my fathers wants to see you. Your coming with us" he said as I just stare at him unamune at all. This dude I just meet wants me to meet he's father? Yeah good luck with that.

"Is that supposed to be a threat? Cause it's sure not scary" I said sarcastically while rolling my eyes.

"Listen hear Princess" he said pointing a finger at me getting annoyed I can tell by he's face.

"We can do this that hard way or the easy way" he said while he brought out a pocket knife that suppose to scare me.

I swear today is going to be a real long day for me and Maria would come looking for me if I'm gone for too long.

"Wow scary!" I said sarcastically while acting as I'm scared then when back to normal while laughing myself while showing my white teeth.

"Grab her!" he said. This boy seems to be the leader of this group but these boys don't scare me. I have always stand up to myself over boys back in London. And when one boy tried to hurt Maria in he was dead in two seconds cause of me.

"I'm warning you. You're messing with the wrong girl" I pointed out which they all chuckle at me thinking it's funny.

They won't be laughing when I kick there ass to the ground.

"Oh shit" I curst to myself while closing my eyes for a second.

I open my eyes to see the first boy to grab my shoulder. I think fast and twist he's arm back hearing him yell out in pain and then I kick real hard making him fall to the ground.

I was kind of getting carried away that I did not notice I have a pair of eyes on me.

Once I finish kicking these boys asses I dust my hands and turn to where he was standing.

"Wow I'm impress" he said with raise brows. I rolled my eyes and start to walk away. But then he grab my arm and pined me to the tree.

I was shocked on what he did. But what do I feel like I wanted that to happen by him.

"Did you think I would let you go Princess?" he asked looking at me as I look back at him. He is quiet hot for he's age.

"I told you once and I'll say it again you're messing with the wrong girl" I said glaring at him.

But he just gave me a cocky smirk my way. He thinks is funny say that when your be crying in the floor in a minute.

"You got fire. I like fire" he said giving me a smirk. There it!

I then punch this guy straight in the face as he groan at my punch and I then kick him where it hurts the most. He then fell to the floor hands over where I kick him as he's hat feel off he's head.

"You should of listen to me but you didn't" I said.

I then took of in a run going to head back to Moonacre but before that I took that cute guy hat.

And I bet when I tell Maria what happened she would be proud of me. I just hope I don't see him again.

-------------------------------------------------------

It's now night I'm just about to go to bed any minute. But right now I can't seem to get that boy out of my head. And I wonder what he would want with me.

I then sigh as I walk inside my room where I was standing where my balcony was. I blow out the candle in the room and got in bed.

But I seem to can't fall asleep. I normally can fall asleep straight away. So why can't I?

I then heard the sound of my balcony door being open. I sat still trying to make a sound.

I heard the sound of someone looking through my things. I sit up to see he's back towards me. I look to see if I can defend myself with anything and I found a book. I grab it and got up quietly I then made my way over to this guy and then I hit him multiple times with the book in my hand.

"Ow! Ow! Ow, okay stop it! Stop it!" he said. It was the bit from earlier. What the hell is he doing here? Here for a round two?

"You" I said glaring at him who just grin.

"Me again" he said. Oh yes got some nerve showing up here.

"Do you really want to die here?" I asked shuffing my book in he's chest.

"Look I only came here because you stool my hat. I'll just take it and leave it Merryweather?" he asked. Wait he thinks I'm a Merryweather?

"Wait what did you called me?" I asked with a confuse look on my face.

"Merryweather. That's your name right?" he asked stepping forward in front of me. He is taller than for sure so I have to look up at him.

"No you dipshit I'm not a Merryweather. I'm a friend of the Merryweathers" I said while he looked at me confuse.

"So why are you here then?" he asked with raise brows.

"Look Maria and I need up together we are like sisters and when my parents did her father took me in and now I'm here" I explained quickly to him as he looked at me then start walking around my room.

"Huh so you really not a Merryweather princess?" he asked. Here we go with those name calling.

"Yes and can you stop calling me that!" I said kind of getting annoyed by him now.

"Calling what?" he asked. Oh he knows exactly what.

"Oh my god. Stop calling me Princess or little dove or what ever name you call me" I said throwing my arms in the air.

"Okay what's your name?" he asked sitting down in my chair.

He can not be serious right now.

"Are you serious? You tried to kidnap me a few hours ago and now you want to know my name after you threatened me with your knife!?" I said that in one breath.

Ge then put a hand on he's chest and fasp dramatically.

"I'm offended by your words" he said. I rolled my eyes yet again.

"It's Y/N" I said after I sigh.

"What?" he asked looking at me.

"My name. It's Y/N" I said with a slight smile.

"Y/N" he reaped with a smile on he's face and not a grin or that cocky smirk.

"I'm Robin," he said as I walk over to my trunk to get he's hat out.

He's name sounds like it has fallen from the sky but I seem to can't help and smile at the mention of he's name.

As I turned around to face Robin with he's hat in my hand. Robin was behind me and up close. I gasp at the space between us. I don't why I have this affection with this boy.

Robin look in my eyes while he were he's lips my eyes can not tear say from those brown chocolate eyes. Robin then put a hand on my cheek while I step closer to him. For some reason I'm listening to my heart and not my head.

I then lean into Robin and plant my lips on he's soft lips. Robin kissed me back but he seems to know more about this then I do. I have never done this before but Robin knows what he is doing.

Soon it felt like hours we're been kissing and we pulled away. I lean into he's chest while we catch our breathe for air.

"That was any kiss I ever had before " Robin said making me laugh. We then pulled away but are eyes never leave each other.

"Now as much as I love to stay but I must leave before my father realized I'm here" Robin said as I walked him to my balcony.

"I will see you again will I Robin" I asked him as he was about to jump down.

"Of course you will. I'll find you in the woods Princess" Robin said.

I laugh at the name he called me.

And before he jump I gave him one last kiss on the lips before I when the sleep. Thinking and dreaming if Robin.

He maybe a cocky boy but he is my midnight prince and I'm he's sunshine princess.
