Howl: I’m the problem and I’m being so brave about it : (
Sophie: *clutches the meat cleaver in her hand a bit tighter

AU where Howl never finds his way to Ingary but Sophie is so desperate to escape after being cursed into an old woman that she accidentally talks a portal to his dorm room into existence

[sophie's] own mother died when sophie was two years old and her sister lettie was one year old, and their father married his youngest shop assistant, a pretty blonde girl called fanny. fanny shortly gave birth to the third sister, martha. this ought to have made sophie and lettie into ugly sisters, but in fact all three girls grew up very pretty indeed, though lettie was the one everyone said was most beautiful. fanny treated all three girls with the same kindness and did not favor martha in the least.

“And now we’re heroes together,” he said. “What an experience. What an excellent evening.”
He smiled at us; we smiled at him. Three crocodiles on a muddy shore could not have smiled at each other more eloquently or with such gleaming teeth. We stood waiting, the three of us, and a moment later were engulfed by shrill inquiries and breathless congratulations.

@hmcbook been reading the replies with people theorizing when Howl realised he was in love with Sophie and it’s just making me appreciate how romantic Howl actually is when he’s just being himself vs when he’s putting on a show for someone. 
Spending hours trying to to look perfect every single time he goes out to see a person? Fine for a first impression, but not great for anything longer-lasting. vs I Am Terrified That This Person Is Going To Be Hurt So I Must Leave Immediately So I Can Save Them And I Don’t Care That I Look Like Absolute Disheveled Garbage? Incredible. (also a very obvious nod to the fact that he had the same reaction when Calcifer told him the Witch of The Waste found his family, so Sophie is clearly very important to him, just -chef’s kiss-). 
Trying very hard to do things that look or sound impressive to impress a girl? (the friggin guitar)? vs I’m Going To Use Magic On This Person To Try To Make Them Hurt Less And Improve Their Life And I’m Not Even Going To Mention It Until Ages Later Because Getting Recognition For This Isn’t Important? 
Flirting and showing off? vs I Am Going To Give This Person A Whole Business To Reign Over And It’s Purpose Will Be Entirely Up To Them And I’ll Also Provide Everything Necessary To Run Said Business So She Doesn’t Have To Worry About That (giving the love of your life a bouquet is so tired. give the love of your life a HOUSE and a SHOP and a FIELD FULL OF FLOWERS, jfc howl ily) 
(also sending The Love of Your Life and your newborn child (or TLoYL still pregnant with your child, I can’t remember which way it went) away and disguising them so that they’ll be safe while knowing full well you could very well die or any number of other things without them ever knowing, but at least they’ll be okay)
(also also the whole damn Twinkle thing, like Sophie went off on Official Super Serious Business and Howl had to tag along to bug the hell out of her make sure she was okay and also because he would miss her)
anyway, I’m having a full-on Howl Appreciation Hour over here

If I had a nickel for each time Pixar released a film where a ginger girl coming of age and her mother were fighting and also turned into animals I’d have TWo nIcKLes.

Made this catradora art to show off this amazing shirt a mutual (kataroos on insta; kataroosshop on Etsy) sent me over Christmas!
I never got around to doing a cute photo shoot wearing it, so I had to draw it on our fav sword lesbian x angst cat couple!
You can still get it on her Etsy shop! She’s the best, and all her catradora art is amazing!!

Sophie and Howl Wales headcanon
I had a major HMC headcanon the other day about Howl and Sophie in Wales & thought I’d share...
Howl is dying to show Sophie some good music so he takes her to Wales to show his favourite vinyls from his teenage years. He asks Megan where his dusty box of vinyls are, and of course, Megan has sold them away and says Sophie can look through her boxes instead (I imagine Megan likes very typical mainstream music).
Howl starts looking through the box (Sophie is sitting there trying to work out what these weird black discs are), Mari comes over and spots her favourite that her mum used to play a lot when she was younger and begs howl to play it and because he can’t resist her cuteness he’s like fine... just this one...  Xanadu by Olivia Newton-John starts playing (yes I imagine Megan loved this girly pop hit) & Howl rolls his eyes but enjoys watching Mari dragging Sophie around the living room to dance, and he can’t stop laughing at Sophie’s miserable face, her two left feet, and her confusion to 80′s pop.

I can't stop thinking about post-hmc flower shop Howl and Sophie
Starting off their mornings picking flowers together and arguing about which ones would look nicest together
Howl still flirts with customers (he tones it down a bit) to get them to buy more, so Sophie decides to make it even and flirt with the male customers to see who is more effective. She outsells Howl within a week.
Howl installs a secondary hearth at the back of the shop so Calcifer can hang out with them when he's in the castle
Michael gets a discount on bouquets since he's basically family, but he abuses that privilege so often to get flowers for Martha that Howl and Sophie force him to start getting his own flowers from the Waste
At first, Howl stopped offering his services in towns since he's both the royal wizard and works the flower shop with Sophie, but he low-key misses it and runs a side gig out of the shop when Sophie's not there
When Howl is out and customers aren't there, Sophie finds herself talking to bouquets when she's bored like she used to talk to hats. One time she tries to use it to her advantage by telling an arrangement, "you are going to start cleaning up after yourself in the bathroom." She intends to give it to Howl at the end of the day but she accidentally mixes it up with another one she had predicted was going to "finally take a hard-earned rest." She can't get Howl off the couch for the next three days.
People figure out Sophie's flower spells and start requesting arrangements that will bring them fame and wealth. Sophie spends the next two weeks sternly telling every single flower in the shop "you are going to be ashamed of yourself and learn to mind your own business." Howl wonders why they've lost half of their regular customers.
Howl convinces Sophie to come to Wales with him again so he can properly introduce her to Neil and Mari. When Megan hears her children calling her "Auntie Sophie," she is furious that Howl didn't invite her to the wedding. Howl and Sophie quickly realize they forgot to have a wedding.
Howl sometimes sneaks away from the shop when he finds some particularly lovely arrangements leftover at the end of the day and lays them on Mrs. Pentstemmon's grave. He never tells this to anyone, but Sophie figures it out. On those days when he disappears for an hour or so and comes back looking sadder, she makes sure to tell his bathroom spells and potions to be extra soothing for the evening.
Howl picks up a book from Wales on flower language and creates elaborate arrangements to send messages to Sophie. At first, she doesn't catch on and only grumbles about him wasting their stock. She finally realizes what he's getting at, but Ingary's flower meanings are very different from the ones Howl intended. He is left frantically trying to explain why he's accidentally been giving Sophie floral messages offering sympathy for the death of her husband.

Sophie: What are your three best qualities?
Howl: I’m hot, I have soft hair, and sometimes I cry because I love my friends.

Just announcing that tumblr, in its latest crime against its users, has terminated hmcbook and her other blogs. She has emailed staff, and with any luck they will reactivate her accounts, but in the meantime, if you’re wondering of her whereabouts, she’s fine, if filled with absolute and righteous rage.

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