#𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 a selective, private, & crossover friendly portrayal of 𝐒𝐎𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 from Diana Wynne Jones' book Howl's Moving Castle, magically intertwined with elements from the acclaimed studio ghibli movie! adored & sewing stories by the handiwork of 𝐅𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐓 (they/them, 30+, EST).

BASICS: though Howl's Moving Castle is PG in itself, there may at times, be content on this blog meant for mature audiences (i.e. foul language, violence, etc.). additionally, at my own age, i prefer to write with adults 20+. thus making / labeling this blog as MINORS DNI. it should go without saying, but i will state it for my sake anyhow... muse does not = mun and vice versa. please be kind, patient, and respectful! when in doubt, always ask!
FOLLOWING: please do not take it personally if i do not follow you back! my blog is selective and private, as i only intend to follow those i see myself writing with or otherwise am comfortable with. additionally, if you are below the age of 20, or have an excessive amount of muses / fandoms on your blog (the latter obviously only applies to multis) it is unlikely that i will follow you back. i apologize if this puts you off, but i want to keep my dash somewhat organized and relevant! i am oc and duplicate friendly!
UNFOLLOWING: i reserve the right to unfollow at any given time, just as you do! now, i personally do not use the block button liberally. in fact, i only use it if i feel it is absolutely positively necessary. if you wish to never see me again, however, i suggest you hard-block me; i just don't want to accidentally follow you back again and ruin your spirits! vague-posting (negatively) about other writers, stealing created content, bigotry, and drama will result in an instant block!
WRITING: sending me an ask / meme is the quickest way to spark something between us! my inbox is ALWAYS open for these small interactions. i myself am a miserable, lousy, no good plotter, but will always do my best to keep things movie or add a lil flavor to things! i am always willing to talk something out / over before writing it! please do not reblog any of my headcanons, threads, or asks unless you are directly mentioned in them! if there is ever a question or concern while we are writing, don't hesitate to let me know; i promise i won't bite! personally, my activity here will be sporadic / low, and my replies may be slower than usual. it's nothing against you, but i do tend to write when and where inspiration hits most!
SHIPPING: shipping is fun, shipping is cool! buuuuut i like to talk about it first and see how compatible our characters are (or aren't)! i suppose this means i ship based off of chemistry! and speaking of...this blog is multi-ship; meaning all relationships occur within their own separate "verse." let it be known, however, that i will always prioritize howl & sophie as a pairing but will never expect or demand it of my writing partners (meaning, just because someone write's howl, i won't automatically expect them to be or fall in love - they may not even tolerate one another)!
TRIGGERS & TAGS: i will do my very best to tag sensitive material, and should you ever need me to tag something specific, do tell me! i personally do not have anything blacklisted, though i ask that you either a) warn me first if you intend to spam the dash with real imagery of spiders or b) tag them so i might be able to avoid them! almost everything i post will have some sort of tag, and eventually, maybe, i'll make a master-post of my tagging system. but that's for another time....
NSFW / USFW: i do not foresee myself writing a whole lot of sensual or erotic material, but i will cover this base anyhow! absolutely NO nsfw will be written with anyone under the age of 20, and truly i prefer 25. i prefer this to be plot-driven and / or to have a very close and open communication with my writing partner before this is engaged in. READ MORE's will need to be utilized should things begin to escalate and, ultimately / in most cases, a FADE TO BLACK is likely to occur, or some sort of "time skip." my comfort with writing this sort of material is limited and fluctuates!
any and all things bordering or entering this territory will be appropriately tagged with cw suggestive and cw usfw (with periods).
THANK'S FOR READING & HAVE FUN!
