Isn't this basically Sophie from howl's moving castle?

howl: if there's going to be a big dramatic scene, wait until i get back

sophie: of course. i can't flip this table by myself

I finally rewatched howls moving castle today after reading the book version last year and i realized i love both versions equally. the movie is the romanticized version and it depicts the love between sophie and howl in a way that only a studio ghibli movie could. the book shows the story in a more down to earth way. rather than dreamily floating in the air, howl and sophie dont actually get along at first with the parallel between the story and the book where in the movie, sophie is being hit on by two soldiers in an alleyway and is saved my howl and in the book, howl is the one chatting her up. i remember reading another post that said that we should think of the movie as howl’s perspective and the book as sophie’s perspective and i really like that idea. i would say that i enjoyed the movie a lot more after reading the book because it helped me understand more of the storyline and what was actually going on. stories can be told and interpreted in differing ways depending on how you read and understand how they were explained. i think both versions are beautiful stories of a girl who learns to love herself through loving others and through finally realizing that your worth is what you make it. once sophie was free of being stuck in the hat shop as the eldest sister with no opportunities for what she could do with her life, she was able to create her own way of being happy that is most fitting for her. thank you to both diana wynne jones and to hayao miyazaki for telling the beautiful story of howls moving castle

Happy (Late) B-Day @andtheirlovewasrenewed !!

Howl’s Moving Castle portrait thingy?

Howl thinks he’s Sophie’s manic pixie dream girl but Sophie just sees him as lockhart X10…

howl: come on, i wasn’t that drunk last night

calcifer: you were flirting with sophie

howl: so what? she's my wife

calcifer: you asked her if she was single

howl:

calcifer: & then you cried when she said she wasn't

“You who swallowed a falling star, ‘O heartless man, your heart shall soon be mine.”

I’ll have more things to post later but I took some quick pics of Sophie when I got home from Fanimecon this weekend because I didn’t want to change out of this yet XD

Been a hot minute since I've posted any art. Thanks burnout. Anyway, here's a sample of my current WIP because I thought her eyes turned out so cute 🥺

My beloved Sophie Hatter 💖
