゜☆ THE BOY WHO SWALLOWED A STAR! blog still in progress.
* MERRY-GO-ROUND OF LIFE. guess who’s back to write our favorite narcissistic, cowardly, handsome wizard!
It’s like I’ve got too much inside me. It just pushes and pushes with nowhere to go.
Libba Bray, The Diviners (via lungsuck)
* IN WHICH HOWL MAKES A PROMISE.
SHE SIGHS LABORIOUSLY, as though a great weight has settled upon her shoulders, & her alone – because, often, that is what life with Howl feels like. Her eyes close & she fights the urge to rub her temples, though they are in sore need of a good rub, while listening & humming along in acknowledgement. When he’s done, she peeks out of one eye as her arms cross over her chest, crinkling the fabric of her cotton dress & making great efforts to deny her frown the chance to claim a hold upon her features.
‘That’s very fascinating, Howl,’ she lies, ‘but I don’t see how I can be of any help in this particular situation …’
❛ OH, OF COURSE YOU DON’T. that elected ignorance of yours suddenly spurs when i’m most in need, doesn’t it ? some help you are, sophie ! ’ all her pouting and insufferable sighs weren’t any more selfish than his own, but by god, did he resent them ! the huffing wizard, he settles on his finest frown and sinks woefully by her side, defeated at last. ❛ what am i to do ? i promised that old fellow from the market i’d help him, but i’ve been hoping he’d forget i offered. just my miserable fate that he’d have pristine memory for a thing like this. say, are you listening..? ’
They say that the best blaze burns brightest, when circumstances are at their worst.

i love ignoring things….. people…. problems …. responsibilities……feelings…..
’ is it dangerous? ’
’ WHAT DOES IT MATTER, i do ask. you seem a risky fellow. i do believe the word is reckless, some would say. ❜ enchanted finger taps once twice on the crystal worn ‘round a thin neck. ‘ nothing bad has ever come of PORTAL WALKING, and if there has, it’s not been documented.. besides, my good man! need i remind you that you’re in the presence of ingary’s finest wizard! ❜

’ How can you read this? There’s no pictures! ’ ’ Well, some people use their imagination… ’ ’ This is the day your dreams come true. ’ ’ I’m-I’m speechless. I really don’t know what to say. ’ ’ Say you’ll marry me! ’ ’ I just don’t deserve you! ’ ’ I want to do something for him/her… but what? ’ ’ No, no! It’s got to be more something more special than that! ’ ’ This is yet another example of the late neoclassic Baroque period. ’ ’ If I didn’t know better, I’d think you had feelings for this monster. ’ ’ I thought I told you to come down to dinner! ’ ’ I’m not hungry! ’ ’ You’ll come out, or I’ll-I’ll-I’ll break down the door! ’ ’ Will you come down to dinner? ’ ’ It would give me great pleasure… ’ ’ We say please. ’ ’ You can’t stay in there forever! ’ ’ Fine! Then go ahead and starve! ’ ’ Oh dear. That didn’t go very well at all, did it? ’ ’ If she/he doesn’t eat with me, then she/he doesn’t eat at all! ’ ’ Who said anything about the castle being enchanted? ’ ’ It was you, wasn’t it? ’ ’ Oh, you look so… so… ’ ’ Not quite the word I was looking for, but perhaps a - little more off the top. ’ ’ Maybe some other time… ’ ’ _______, you are positively primeval! ’ ’ Why did you come here? ’ ’ Do you realize what you could have done? ’ ’ I didn’t mean any harm. ’ ’ Please… stop… ’ ’ Who’s there? Who are you? ’ ’ I’ve come for my father. Please, let him out! Can’t you see, he’s sick? ’ ’ Please, I’ll do anything! ’ ’ Oh, there must be some way I can… ’ ’ Then he/she shouldn’t have trespassed here! ’ ’ The master of this castle… ’ ’ Wait! Take me instead. ’ ’ You don’t know what you’re doing! ’ ’ Yes. But… you must promise to stay here forever! ’ ’ Come into the light… ’ ’ You have my word… ’ ’ For who could ever learn to love a beast? ’ ’ Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard? ’ ’ That’s not a request! ’ ’ I’ve been burnt by you before! ’ ’ I’m afraid I’ve been thinking… ’ ’ If you’d hold still, it wouldn’t hurt as much! ’ ’ Well, if you hadn’t have run away, this wouldn’t have happened! ’ ’ If you hadn’t frightened me, I wouldn’t have run away! ’ ’ Well you shouldn’t have been in the west wing! ’ ’ Well, you should learn to control your temper! ’ ’ Now, hold still. This might sting a little. ’ ’ By the way, thank you… for saving my life. ’ ’ Couldn’t keep quiet, could we? ’ ’ Just had to invite him/her to stay, didn’t we? ’ ’ I was trying to be hospitable. ’ ’ I want adventure in the great wide somewhere. ’ ’ I want so much more than they’ve got planned… ’ ’ Well, Your Highness, I must say everything is going just swimmingly. ’ ’ I knew you had it in you, ha ha! ’ ’ You what? How could you do that? ’ ’ I use antlers in all of my decorating! ’ ’ I-I-I was lost in the woods, and-and… ’ ’ Please, I meant no harm. I-I just need a place to stay. ’ ’ What’re you staring at? ’ ’ I’ll give you a place to stay. ’ ’ No, no! Please! Don’t, no! ’ ’ I’d like to thank you all for coming to my wedding. ’ ’ Sir, close that at once! Do you mind? ’ ’ It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. ’ ’ Oh, must help her/him to see past all that. ’ ’ Well, you can start by making yourself more presentable. ’ ’ Oh, it’s no use. ’ ’ I don’t know how. ’ ’ Come, come, show me the smile. ’ ’ There’s a stranger here! ’ ’ Pardon me, Master… ’ ’ Leave me in peace. ’ ’ It doesn’t matter now. Just let them come. ’ ’ I’ll show you to your room. ’ ’ Do you wanna stay in the tower? ’ ’ You must control your temper! ’ ’ Of course I came back. I couldn’t let them… oh, this is all my fault! ’ ’ You… you came back. ’ ’ If only I had gotten here sooner. ’ ’ Maybe… maybe… it’s better… it’s better this way. ’ ’ Don’t talk like that! You’ll be alright. ’ ’ We’re together now; everything’s going to be fine, you’ll see… ’ ’ And at least… at least I got to see you… one last time. ’ ’ Please. Please… Please don’t leave me. ’ ’ Well, perhaps there’s something there that wasn’t there before. ’ ’ There may be something there that wasn’t there before. ’ ’ Shh. I’ll tell you when you’re older. ’ ’ I’ll not have you making up such wild stories. ’ ’ Let me go! Let me go, please! Don’t hurt me! I’ll do anything! Anything! ’ ’ I’m… I’m about ready to give up on this hunk of junk. ’ ’ This castle is your home now, so you can go anywhere you like, except the West Wing. ’ ’ I mean it this time! I’ll never get this boneheaded contraption to work! ’ ’ Well, what are we waiting for? ’ ’ I’ll have this thing fixed in no time! ’ ’ You really believe that? ’ ’ Be our guest. ’ ’ Is it dangerous? ’ ’ Oh no, he’d/she’d never hurt anyone. ’ ’ Hmmm. Could you read it again? ’ ’ Why don’t you read it to me? ’ ’ You mean, you never learned? ’ ’ I learned… a little. It’s just been… so long. ’ ’ Well, here, I’ll help you. ’ ’ What would you say if you and I took a walk over to the tavern and took a look at my trophies? ’
my fave scene
You know who doesn’t get enough love? The original Howl Jenkins/Pendragon. That rude, lazy Welshman who jilted the Witch Of The Waste and flirted hopelessly with Miss Angorian and eventually made Sophie smile like no one else ever could. Who staggered in drunk and fell up the stairs, who had family problems and made video games for his nephew and never would let people know he was trying to find Prince Justin. I love the film, but that book will always be more important to me, and no one has ever seemed to have read it.
☆ * ─ IN WHICH HOWL CRAVES A BLOOM.
pleasant smile / betrayal in art of assumed flattery she will play him as a harp ! certainly she has heard of him , both his beauty and his abilities , and of course of his nature , though she would be lying to claim she was apprehensive . wary , careful , these variables are guaranteed as saccharine scarlet tiers curl seductive o’er flawless plains . “ a hybrid tea rose . “ musical hum escapes plush petals as crown cants coquettish tilt / verdant hues angled upward through thick lashes . “ it’s beautiful . “ palm extends to caress soft petal with elegant fingertip , examining what appeared to be a near flawless specimen / such prowess she had not expected .
and there it was! the validation he sought upon those lips, a curl of them. had he not bled in earnest to both calcifer and his apprentice? had he not expressed the effectiveness of a rose to a woman? and she, A NYMPH! his arrogance, ‘o sweet wine of hubris, it seeped though his silken form and he grew drunk upon it. the fools, they’d see now, wouldn’t they? forest woman, with her draping emerald vines, she was enchanted!
' i’d have to agree.. but still, IT IS NOWHERE NEAR AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOU. you, my darling, ❜ spilled tenderly from his lips, a cadence of charm, ' are more breathtaking than any flower a humble wizard, such as myself, could conjure. rare and exquisite. ❜
☆ * ─ HEART THIEF!
❛ Oh — yes thank you ! ❜ in the blink of an eye the hardcover spine rested on his palm. Taking a moment to repeat it a few times before a hand inches forward to take the book. ( Was this a dream ? ) ❛ Oh - um, yeah thanks again. S-Sorry to bother you. ❜
' OH, NO, NO never, my lady! it’s a gentleman’s duty, isn’t it..? ❜ he pays little mind to her curt hurriedness, instead prattling by his own unrequested prerogative. his hand gestures with the rhythm of his diction. ' i should think a woman such as yourself would be used to it. ❜
