One thing I like about DWJ's books is how perfectly she captures the point of view of children.

Like she does an excellent job of showing how they think and how, especially, kids are not stupid. A lot of people think kids start out stupid and get smarter as they grow older, but kids already start out pretty smart. They notice, they think; they're just missing the life experience and information to apply it correctly.

The scene I always come back to is the part in Lives of Christopher Chant when Christopher's mother tells him she wants him to be part of Society when he grows up. By that she means "rich influential people," but he doesn't know that. She doesn't tell him that. Nobody tells him that. The only society he's ever heard of is the church society, so he thinks his mother wants him to become a missionary.

And, like, he's thinking! He's reasoning! He's taking the information he knows and coming to a logical conclusion! It's not his fault he's missing a whole lot of relevant information!

Conrad is back on my mind

Chrestomanci Series: Conrad's Fate

My epilogue version of them at DeWitt's impromptu boarding school castle. I love these three's chemistry. I want more stories with them at this age and older. Maybe I should just draw more fanart..

Timely Fandom Quote #321

“It never ceases to amaze me the way people always manage to worry about the wrong things. My dear sir, do you realize that you, your son, and four of your pupils are all likely to be burned unless we do something? And here you are worrying about schedules.”

– Chrestomanci/ Christopher Chant, Witch Week by Diana Wynne Jones

If you feel like your gender is Howl Jenkins Pendragon and you also feel like you're getting too old for that shtick, GOOD NEWS

Christopher "Chrestomanci" Chant exists and is the exact same gender but ten years older

he's most known for wearing Absolutely Magnificent dressing gowns at all hours of the day, including a sky-blue one with Chinese dragons all over it

I recently finished re-reading "Castle" trilogy by D. W. Jones and please, tell me that I'm not the only one, who thinks that the world, where all plot happens, one of the worlds under Chrestomanci's control (I'm sorry, if I called it incorrect, but English isn't my first language and I don't read this book on it) . Like, it's one of my favorite headcanons, that ever came to my mind. And I guess it probably can explain how Howl and Sullivan came to Ingary from Wales. Or i just need Christopher Chant's and Howl's interactions, who knows?)
