About Me
This is a sideblog -- follows and likes will come from @halbermensch
Aria • 27 • she/they
I made this blog to be a specific place for me to engage with bookblr content. So expect geeking out over books (both fiction and non), literary discussion, and plenty of fandom/memes about my faves.
My Works: Fanfiction on Ao3 - glirastes
Current Obsession: Howl’s Moving Castle/Diana Wynne Jones
Scarecrow: 🙋
Sophie: 😱
Howl’s Moving Castle - book dynamic
(I think the best part is they would have this conversation but at the end of the day still absolutely be there for each other… albeit with a lot of bickering)
Cat Chant would absolutely use the weaselly Matthew Swift strategy of wearing clothes that make him look like gardening staff and showing up to his own appointments like "Chrestomanci? Oh yes, the big boss. I've met him personally once or twice, frankly he's quite a terrifying person. But I'm just the man they've hired to solve the problems the big boss can't be bothered with, you don't need to worry about me"
Sophie, Lettie, and Martha
Rip Howl Pendragon, you would’ve loved Korean skincare.
#i hate to do this to my man but howl would have a tiktok account #he is trying to share his 12 step skincare routine and his 20 step haircare routine #but he spends most of it trying to hide that he lives in a moving castle in a different world
#meanwhile sophie tells a bar of soap that its perfect for her skin and will make it exceptionally beautiful#and it does!!#infuriating
You are so right @procrastinatingplatypus
Cakes Martha would bake at Cesari’s
For Michael because she loves him:
For Sophie and Lettie because it’s like the Ingarian-baking-apprentice equivalent of sending a funny frog meme to your sisters
For Howl, to congratulate the infamous hearteater on ending up with a girl so incredible as Sophie:
For Michael again because really she loves him so much and they’re absolutely going to get married and have ten children someday:
Adding lines and color to my sketchbook drawings. We need more Sophie appreciation 👏
Duplicitous; or, In which there is twice as much Howl as usual
Title: Duplicitous; or, In which there is twice as much Howl as usual Length: 1/1 chapters | 2,145 words Fandom: Howl's Moving Castle - All Media Types, Howl Series - Diana Wynne Jones Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Sophie Hatter & Howl Pendragon Teaser: "Sophie was interrupted by a terrible shriek from the castle. A shriek which immediately filled her mind with visions of green slime. She had seen enough of that stinking slop to last a lifetime. Several lifetimes, in fact. Whatever had caused this tantrum, it would have to be nipped in the bud. She ran."
Mwynder Mai
Traditional Welsh summer carol
Daw dewin mis Mai heb ei weled, fin nos Gan wasgar ei liwiau ar weirglodd a rhos Bydd heulwen y bore yn dawnsio ar dwyn, A daw ar adenydd lawenydd i lwyn.
Bu Ionawr yn greulon a garw fu'r hin, A Chwefror yn chwipio ei fflangell yn flin Daw cywion yr helyg fis Mawrth i'r hen goed A briallu yn Ebrill - daeth Gwanwyn i'w oed
Er oered fo'r eira, er garwed fo'r gwynt Er byrred ei rwysg bydd yr haf ar ei hynt Mewn byd sy’ mor gymysg o fethiant neu fai, Rhyw awr o Baradwys yw mwynder mis Mai
My English translation
The wizard of May works unseen in the night Filling meadow and moorland with colors so bright With soft dappled sunlight that dances at dawn When on wings of joy merry May Day is drawn
January was cruel and harsh with its snow February, wind whipping, did angrily blow In March, little birds in the old trees were born And primroses in April brought winter to scorn
Though cold snow and rough wind may tarry too long Though summer be brief in its splendor and song Though failure and fault plague the world to this day An hour of Paradise we find in sweet May

This song was the inspiration for my fanfiction Calan Mai; or In which Howl goes Maying (which you can read at that link on Ao3). The concept of May as a wizard filling the land with flowers immediately made me think of Howl. I’ve only just started learning Welsh but I do love poetry and linguistics, and I tried my best to piece together a translation with a lot of help from the dictionary. I did take a few creative liberties for the sake of preserving rhythm and rhyme scheme.
And HERE is a beautiful rendition of the song in the original Welsh.
"I look like a pan of bacon and eggs!" "I think it's very nice," Sophie said. "Nice!" screamed Howl. "Despair! Anguish! Horror!"
In which Howl expresses his feelings with green slime
Howl: 🚩 🚩🚩🚩
Sophie: 👩🏼🦯👩🏼🦯👩🏼🦯👩🏼🦯
My beloveds!!!! This one is a little old but I forgot to post here 💖 (my version of the main three of Howl's Moving Castle book!!)
Diana Wynne Jones really made Howl be all that

Round 3: Match 7 of 16
Gandalf (LOTR) vs. Howl Pendragon (Howl's Moving Castle)
Gandalf
Howl Pendragon
Why they deserve to be the ultimate wizard according to YOU:
Gandalf:
Vanquished (so far): Saruman, Tom Bombadil
"Big naturals"
“No other wizards shall pass him”
“Codified the wizard trope in modern western literature. You've read LotR. You know this."
“Its Gandalf"
Howl:
Vanquished (so far): Hughie, Moraine
“The DRAMA. the absolute IDIOCY. the fact that he's just a welsh postdoc who just went to another world and did tax evasion”
“*pointing accusingly* this man made me understand genderenvy”
“He's the perfect balance between pathetic man and scarily powerful wizard. When he accidentally colors his hair a shade he doesn't like he gets so upset because he isn't "beautiful" anymore and sees no reason to live, and it leads to him summoning the souls of the dead. He's sweet, cruel, mysterious and hot as hell!”
