No cause, Howl’s greatest strength as a person and a character is the ability to trick others and the audience into thinking that he is a melodramatic idiot that lucks his way into problems that he has started. AND HE IS BUT HE’S ALSO VERY SMART I PROMISE-
This mf is so good at blending into an exaggerated version of himself that you don’t even notice just how smart he is. This fucking college dropout mastered dimensional travel and keeps said device built into his HOUSE. HE HAS A MAGIC WINDOW THAT PEERS INTO THE HUMAN WORLD SO HE CAN CHECK ON HIS FAMILY-
My god I wanna dissect this- is this why people annotate in the story???? I- I have to buy a second copy….

Please please please read the book Howl’s Moving Castle. Yes the movie is cute and picturesque and I do enjoy it, but the book. The book! It has a level of unhinged sassiness and parallel dimensions that the movie could never. And I’m only halfway through!

i love fanart of howl that makes him unbelievably attractive because in the books hes canonically a mid little welsh boy who doesn't want to do his university assignments. you guys are being FOOLES by his attractiveness potions

Howl’s Moving Castle the book starts on May 1 (May Day) and ends on June 21 (summer solstice) therefore next year I think someone should give it the Dracula Daily treatment but for people whose interest in that only lasted a couple months
Edit: sadly I don’t think the book is anywhere near entering the public domain but one can dream…

well, I just got polls and thought I would experiment with what that's like and now I regret my choices because now I actually want to know the real answers
(also I would personally choose Patricia C. Wrede as a gateway despite having been read Lewis and Tolkien before I turned seven on the grounds that Wrede was what made me want to read more of my own accord)

I want a Howls' moving castle tv series made with the same love and care of G.O
Don't get me wrong, I love the Ghibli movie, but we all know that's not 100% accurate to the book. And yes, I know there are some slight changes from Good Omens from book to screen, but all it did was make a decades old story a bit fresher and relevant. I think Howl Moving castle deserves the same loving treatment.
This is purely just a thing i'd like to see. A wish list if you will. Between writers strikes, legal issues and whatever else, Its just something to imagine:
First of all, i'd like it to be very, very Welsh. I'm not Welsh, but Howl is, and I think the TV series should celebrate it, particularly if there is a chance a wider audience would watch it. I'd love to see entire scenes (or episodes!) in Welsh, particularly when Howell visits home (yes I know they speak English in Wales)
I want lots of cosy british scenery. I want it to feel like i've been transported to the mid 90s and i'm watching a pastorial classic whenever they show the sweeping countryside of Igary. Want a vaguely "otherworldly" feel? film these scenes in New Zealand.
I would like an extremely popular and internationally known Welsh actor to play the king. The King is described as kind of an everyman, familiar and almost at odds with his royal status. it's a small role but imagine if someone like Christian Bale (that would be a great nod!) or Michael Sheen took the role.
Omg the fashion. I think they did a pretty good job with the vaguely British otherworldly fashion of Ingary in the Ghibli world, but I'd love to see another interpretation. I Imagine a sort of 90s Whimsygoth feel would be immaculate.
Modernised, not modern. The only thing I absolutely DO NOT want is a modernised version like what happened to The Watch. Sure, update Wales, and tinker with some of the dated views (such as the age gap of young Sophie/ Lettie and Howl), but keep the essence. Sophie is a boss without being a fighter. We know Howl is trash, but we love him like that
Feel free to reblog and add your own suggestions :)

“Calcifer,” Sophie said, “were you ever a falling star?”
Calcifer opened one orange eye at her. “Of course,” he said.
