"People need to read the book to see how dramatic book-Howl is!" True, but on top of that, even people who read the book need to read the sequels..

I drew some book!Howls! Well, they’re a mix of both the movie and the book, and I took plenty of creative liberties when designing everything. I made an alternate version to the top right one based on the green uniform Howl wears in the film!
I’m going to start the second book today, I really enjoyed the first one! (Green outfit after the cut!)

To all of you who think Howl's reactions are overly dramatic, I'll let you know that after having spent more than a week in bed with the combination of a never ending illness and a perpetual bad hair day, I slowly grew to understand where he's coming from.

Book Howl is wildly more dramatic than movie Howl and it’s genuinely hilarious

There is something about characters that can't help but run away. They can't put their roots down anywhere. They are fleeing from responsibilities. Fleeing from society. Fleeing from life. Some call them a coward, and maybe they are. Maybe they just cannot fathom facing the reality of existence so they have to seal away their heart and drown their mind in drink, trying so hard to escape everything.
There is something about those characters finding someone that makes them want to stay.

I can't stop thinking about post-hmc flower shop Howl and Sophie
Starting off their mornings picking flowers together and arguing about which ones would look nicest together
Howl still flirts with customers (he tones it down a bit) to get them to buy more, so Sophie decides to make it even and flirt with the male customers to see who is more effective. She outsells Howl within a week.
Howl installs a secondary hearth at the back of the shop so Calcifer can hang out with them when he's in the castle
Michael gets a discount on bouquets since he's basically family, but he abuses that privilege so often to get flowers for Martha that Howl and Sophie force him to start getting his own flowers from the Waste
At first, Howl stopped offering his services in towns since he's both the royal wizard and works the flower shop with Sophie, but he low-key misses it and runs a side gig out of the shop when Sophie's not there
When Howl is out and customers aren't there, Sophie finds herself talking to bouquets when she's bored like she used to talk to hats. One time she tries to use it to her advantage by telling an arrangement, "you are going to start cleaning up after yourself in the bathroom." She intends to give it to Howl at the end of the day but she accidentally mixes it up with another one she had predicted was going to "finally take a hard-earned rest." She can't get Howl off the couch for the next three days.
People figure out Sophie's flower spells and start requesting arrangements that will bring them fame and wealth. Sophie spends the next two weeks sternly telling every single flower in the shop "you are going to be ashamed of yourself and learn to mind your own business." Howl wonders why they've lost half of their regular customers.
Howl convinces Sophie to come to Wales with him again so he can properly introduce her to Neil and Mari. When Megan hears her children calling her "Auntie Sophie," she is furious that Howl didn't invite her to the wedding. Howl and Sophie quickly realize they forgot to have a wedding.
Howl sometimes sneaks away from the shop when he finds some particularly lovely arrangements leftover at the end of the day and lays them on Mrs. Pentstemmon's grave. He never tells this to anyone, but Sophie figures it out. On those days when he disappears for an hour or so and comes back looking sadder, she makes sure to tell his bathroom spells and potions to be extra soothing for the evening.
Howl picks up a book from Wales on flower language and creates elaborate arrangements to send messages to Sophie. At first, she doesn't catch on and only grumbles about him wasting their stock. She finally realizes what he's getting at, but Ingary's flower meanings are very different from the ones Howl intended. He is left frantically trying to explain why he's accidentally been giving Sophie floral messages offering sympathy for the death of her husband.
