Im sick with flu so naturally I picked up my newly bought copy of Howl's Moving Castle which includes DWJ interviews in the back.
And im in love with the way she tells these stories feels like a part of her books.
And my favorite:
The magic in the mundane :)
edit: I'm copying the ID by @princess-of-purple-prose below, thank you!
[ID: Excerpts of printed text which read:
I suppose there's also a biographical element in that Sophie is the eldest of three sisters, and so am I. The idea for Sophie grew out of the time I discovered I had a very severe milk allergy. I almost lost the use of my legs and had to walk with the aid of a stick. I was moderately young, but because of this I suddenly became old.
I had to wait until I knew what Wizard Howl was like. I began to discover Howl about the time when one of my sons took to spending several hours in the bathroom every morning and I got really, really, really annoyed with him.
Where were you when you wrote it? I wrote the book the way I write everything, stretched out on the big sofa in my sitting room, in everyone's way. This often annoys my husband rather a lot.
which made me burst out laughing. I laughed and laughed at the seven league boot, and when I came to the bit where Sophie accidentally makes Howl's suit twenty times too big for him, I laughed so much that I fell off the sofa. My husband was really irritated by this time. He snapped, "You can't be making yourself laugh!" And I gasped, "But I am, I am!" and rolled about on the floor.
Are any of your relatives or friends included in the book? Yes, well the thing that started me off writing the book was a friend of mine who never does her laundry. She has it around the place in huge bags for often as much as a year. When she does tip it all out and try to wash it, she discovers all sorts of clothes that she has forgotten she had.
Which is your favourite part of the book and why? I like the book all over, but I suppose if I had to choose a bit, I'd choose the place where Howl gets a cold. It so happened that when I was writing this bit, my husband caught a bad cold. He is the world's most histrionic cold catcher. He moans, he coughs, he piles on the pathos, he makes strange noises, he blows his nose exactly like a bassoon in a tunnel, he demands bacon sandwiches at all hours, and he is liable to appear (usually wrapped in someone else's dressing gown) at any time, announcing that he is dying of neglect and boredom. So all I had to do was write it down. End ID]

Can I have Dazai, Fyodor, Chuuya and Akutagawa with a s/o who’s normally shy, but is secretly very kinky?
Character/s - Dazai, Fyodor, Chuuya, Akutagawa, gn! reader
Warning/s - Smut, kinky stuff, swearing but not like a lot
Notes - HOLY FUCK THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REQUESTING!! I decided to do hcs for these because I felt like I could write more like this but if you want something else just ask. Also writing for Akutagawa was surprisingly fun
Osamu Dazai
He will find out all of your kinks.
You can't hide anything from him, he was called the demon prodigy of the port mafia for a reason
Only he'll probably use less violent methods to get you to tell him
Basically you'll just sit on his lap and watch porn together
He WILL be able to read your reactions so don't even try hiding them from him because believe me, he did feel the subtle way you tried to grind on his cock when you saw those people getting tied up, and he definitely saw the ways your eyes looked at the computer screen when you saw that person getting gagged and blindfold
So once you've seen all that porn, he has you tied to the bed with a blindfold on, while he does whatever he wants to you <3
By the end, neither of you have any secrets, because he fucked them all out
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
You are PERFECT for him. He loves how you act shy but are secretly kinky as fuck
But because Fyodor's mean he makes you tell him exactley what you want
And if you dont he WILL deny you of your orgasm until you do because he's a sadist!
He loves making you wear a vibrator in public just because of how flustered you are when he *accidently* turns it to the highest setting just when you want to say something
And this is only one of the very fun things he does to either embarrass you, or get you to admit your kinky desires
Some of the others include making you walk around naked all day, and having to call him master until eventually you tell him all the things you want to do
And then surprisingly he actually does them
Chuuya Nakahara
Found out while you two were having sex because unlike Dazai and Fyodor, he is not a sadist.
He had a bad day at the mafia and was looking for a good way to relieve stress
So he pinned you to the table and started degrading you while fucking you
Like, really roughly
Only you kept on getting more aroused
I mean who doesn't want Chuuya to call them a dirty slut
He knew that talking about your kinks probably wouldn't work because of how shy you were
So the next time you had sex he tried it again, and kept on trying more things to see what you liked
Until eventually, he had you tied to the bed and blindfolded while he fucked you with his gun <3
Ryuunosuke Akutagawa
After you've had sex a few times, he just decides to ask you about it
But, given how shy you were, you didn't really get anywhere because HE was blushing too
Well, not exactly blushing, but he was definitely flustered
So he just wrote down all the kinks he could think of on a bit of paper, gave it to you and all you had to do was circle the ones you liked!
Talks to Chuuya and Gin about the ones you circled so that he knew how to prevent risks of you were doing something like breathplay, because he has basically no experience in this stuff
Chuuya and Gin were so shocked. So so shocked.
Akutagawa already had everything laid out on the bed as well as some water on the side for when you finished, but that won't be for another few hours because he will find out exactly what you like

thinking,,,,,,,, darling who has a cryptic pregnancy....... [insert twst character here] reacting to it,,, maybe you and floyd and you're both a little dense because neither of you could have ever guessed. T_T
"what do you mean you were pregnant this whole time???? i thought shrimpy just got softer. :D" - floyb mindset.
in floyd's defense, he has no idea how human pregnancies work. he slept through that part of land boot camp!!! fell asleep the minute the professor started droning on about how humans don't lay eggs like mers do. jade can only chuckle (maybe he knew, but in classic jade fashion he won't tell because it's much more entertaining to sit back and watch everyone slowly figure it out) and azul is shaking his head in disbelief. had he known, he would have prepared well in advance to lend a helping hand. and you're just so amazed because maybe you were told you're unable to get pregnant, but somehow it happened and you had no idea all this time.
thank you to floyd and his mer virility for doing what was thought to be the impossible!!!!!! <3
