why do you, as a man have weird dream powers, so you can dream about other men?

If you feel like your gender is Howl Jenkins Pendragon and you also feel like you're getting too old for that shtick, GOOD NEWS
Christopher "Chrestomanci" Chant exists and is the exact same gender but ten years older
he's most known for wearing Absolutely Magnificent dressing gowns at all hours of the day, including a sky-blue one with Chinese dragons all over it

"He was wearing clothes Cat had never seen him in before, plus fours with thick knitted socks and big walking shoes, and a sweater on his top half. Cat had never seen Chrestomanci in a sweater before, but as he was also carrying a walking stick, Cat supposed that these were what Chrestomanci thought of as clothes for walking in."

Thinking of Christopher and Millie, how Millie never wondered what would happen to her after she got too old to be the Goddess, while Christopher honed in on the question and figured out that she would be made a human sacrifice.
Millie had been pampered and spoiled her whole life; she had no reason to doubt that she would be taken care of. Meanwhile, Christopher had been betrayed by his own family and knew damned well that there are people who will think nothing of murdering children for a bit of power.
And as readers, we know that this is true. Millie came to believe it too. Adults really can be horrible.
But there was one thing Millie knew that Christopher didn't, that the readers don't. She knew Mother Proudfoot.
Christopher wasn't wrong to think that adults do atrocious things. But Millie wasn't wrong either, to believe that this particular adult would always take care of her. Because in the end, she did.

it’s been long enough without me being here so a lot of u don’t know that I actually tattooed Christopher chant’s “chrestomanci” signature on my ribs (in DWJ’s handwriting) a couple of years ago because a decade or so before a friend said “but if u tattooed chrestomanci’s signature on u then you would always be protected since all of you is made of magic, Thais” when my life was really sad. So I keep forgetting this one but yeah I take Christopher with me wherever I go.

Round 1: Match 23 of 64
Tumblr media
*Sorry for the blurriness, I couldn’t find a good photo in focus for Christopher
Why they deserve to be the ultimate wizard according to YOU:
Christopher Chant:
“The Chrestomanci is the most powerful and magical person in all Related Worlds. He has nine lives and oversees all magic within this multiverse. But most importantly: Chrestomanci has one dressing gown for every day of the year, including leap days. They are all fabulous.”
“He's a nine-lived enchanter, one of the most powerful magic users in his world, and will casually show up whenever anyone says "Chrestomanci" to try to solve the current magical problem. In a group of 9 related parallel worlds, he's the only version of himself.”
Galadriel:
“She’s awesome”

So does Chrestomanci just pretend not to remember people's names to annoy them or does he genuinely have difficulty remembering or

I wish people would talk about Chrestomanci (aka Christopher Chant) from Diana Wynne Jones books. He’s like... a less arrogant version of Howl, with less of the narcissistic tendencies, but still with a flair for drama and suaveness. More than that he makes mistakes AND admits to making them!
He also owns a ridiculously fancy dressing gown for every day of the year. Go figure.

christopher chant literally the guy of all time. he has so many dressing gowns. he was involved in a criminal empire at the age of like ten. his friends include a double-crossing smuggler with no soul, the living incarnation of a god, and a kid who accidentally killed him in a game of cricket. he's the most powerful man in the world. he's infuriatingly vague. he's a genius. he can't do magic with silver and never thought to just buy stainless steel cutlery. he calls himself chrestomanci because he wants to be the centre of attention. he gets annoyed whenever people summon him despite insisting on being called chrestomanci. and most importantly he's bisexual

"He also said he was sorry to lose me, because I seemed to be the only person who could make Christopher see sense. I am not sure anyone can do that, but Christopher seems to think so, too. He has asked me to come back next year to be best man at his wedding. He and Millie are using the gold ring with Christopher’s life in it as a wedding ring, which seems a good way to keep it safe."
