Howl Movingcastle & Westley Princessbride are the exact same breed of man, just in slightly different fonts: Incredibly extra blonds who stumbled into a very bizarre job field completely on accident & absolutely live for both The Aesthetic and The Drama TM.

I keep seeing posts about the differences between the book and the Ghibli adaptation of Howl's Moving Castle, and honestly there's a totally charming interview with Diana Wynne-Jones at the end of the kindle edition about how it worked :)

How Howl tries to undo the curse the moment she steps into his castle but he *cant* because Sophie doesn’t want it to be broken. How, in the film, Sophie gets so close to breaking the curse in the field, but hearing Howl call her beautiful went against her self views, so she reinforces her sense of self by turning 90 again.

And the way that her love and kindness make her younger again and again. How film Sophie sacrifices her long hair, perhaps what past Sophie would have seen as her only beauty, for Howl but she’s grown so much that she still remains young, perhaps even confident about her grey hair, showing that Sophie no longer links her appearance to her lovability or worth and she learned to accept herself as she is.

I love Howl’s Moving Castle! Great movie, great book. I’ve been looking for new books to read, and I figured I might as well read her other works too.

Been loving A Charmed Life so far. Sadly, some passages age very much how didn’t she (probably) didn’t intend, and now I am dead
