Studio Ghibli—films for the soul.
Or so goes the logic, according to one mysteriously unattributed quote beloved across the internet. It reads in full: "Disney movies touch the heart, but Studio Ghibli films touch the soul." This line is beloved, of course, because something in it rings true; something here resonates.
The #studio ghibli films, beginning with 1984's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind until this year's release The Boy and the Heron, are loved and acclaimed universally for their beauty, joy, sadness, and sheer sense of spirit. These are, in some ways, deeply romantic movies with rich characters and complex plots, which deal with a wealth of themes in the studio's singular and elusive style. Yet despite these otherworldly, fantastical qualities, there is something in these films that seems to touch on something universal, despite its deep rootedness in Japanese culture, custom, and mythology. And let it be said that animated food has never looked so good—and *never* will do again.
(P.s. Dear Reader, as Spirited Away, maybe the studio's most iconic film, prepares to arrive in Europe as a stage production, let it be said that I, Author Unknown, got tickets in the presale yesterday. Come, rejoice with me.)

✨ the Ultimate Studio Ghibli Desktop Set ✨
I'm so excited to share this! I adore Studio Ghibli and its beautiful worlds and characters, so I created this massive desktop set that includes as many beloved movies as I could, for anyone else who wants to bring some Ghibli magic to their desktop! 🖤(there are more icons than pictured above ;) )

uh. uh.
^ me when I finally finished making this set. I spent four months working on it (two and a half of those were JUST the icons). But my main mindset when making this set was to really do as much as I possibly could, because there are SO MANY amazing movies and characters and everyone has their favorite and I wanted to do my best to have something for everyone! 🌿🌸🩷 This has been a LABOR for sure, but I also poured as much love as I could into it! So this was also me (and my sisters xD) when I finished:
