"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..

Howl calling Sophie Welsh pet names and her never being sure if he is insulting her. Howl learning Shakespeare sonnets and Dickinson love poems by heart and trying to convince Sophie that he came up with those himself (she doesn't believe him). Sophie convincing Howl to teach her Welsh (and being completely unsurprised when Howl adds Welsh love poems to his repertoire). Just.....more Welsh Howl content please
#thank you#i am a sucker for characters referring to their beloved by their native tongue#there is something so intimate about that#hmc#hmc book#diana wynne jones#sophie hatter#howl pendragon

btw i was talking about howl’s moving castle to my best friend who loves the movie but hasnt read the book and i was telling her how in the book the black option in howl’s door doesn’t go to the war but to our world and she said “well it makes sense that to hayao miyazaki going to the real world from a magical one would mean going to a placed filled with war” and you know what you might have a point
#im still very anti hmc movie#but i respect his interpretation#mostly changing sophie’s journey to beibg almost exclusively about her not thinking of herself as beautiful i do not respect#howl’s moving castle#howl’s moving castle book#hmc

HMC Movie:
“Sophie your hair is like starlight! Oh my chest hurts, I’m so happy you’re alright love!”
HMC Book:
“FUCK I got a hangover! Please move gorgeous woman I have to go save Sophie! Oh. You ARE Sophie…..so what are you doing later?”
*literal hellspawn less than 5 feet away from them*
“Oh yeah, that.”
*kills it*
“So Sophie what color would you say your hair is?~”

Counterpoint:
Old man Sorahiko is aged like fine wine
2. He's small and can fit into your arms easily which is cute
3. He's a disaster but he's a wonderful disaster. Grumpy, but attractive in all the right ways.

I think book Sophie's inner monologue regarding Howell could be summarized as "fuck, I love that guy."
And it's just yeah.
I mean, Sophie just learned how to enjoy freedom (from being old). To just be her weird self, doing whatever she pleases and not hiding a bit.
And in her freedom, she realizes she's in love. The freedom being free of all the emotional webs, the burden of thinking about your every step, your role in a society. Old age gave her that. And what she ends up doing anyway? Having feelings! The thing she wanted to escape from! But oh! She's not losing her freedom a one bit by being with him! She just has a guy to share her weird self with, who loves her back.

I’d like to think that Sophie would tell Howl that she was with child by using her flowers. Like instead of telling him simply and directly, she planted daffodils and baby’s breath around the house until he noticed and asked her about it. It took him 2 days to notice, and a week before he asked. Needless to say, he had no clue ‘till Sophie told him about it :)
#i have to admit i was smiling the entire time writing this LMAO#my friend asked me about flowers and the topic went to baby’s breath and then boom headcanon#also if you don’t know#daffodils are a sign of rebirth and new beginnings#maybe because for Sophie and howl#this is a new chapter in their happily ever after :)#baby’s breath is pretty explanatory ngl#aaa I wna write a whole fic about this :( maybe after exams hehe#this is cute tho bc I think that it would rlly happen#I’ve been having family pendragon shenanigans lately and I kinda want to make a long list of my thoughts in another post LOL#what do you think?#howl pendragon#hmc#hmc book#howl series#sophie hatter#howl's moving castle#angelica rambles

Movie Sophie: mild mannered young girl who lacks confidence.
Book Sophie: slightly unhinged, so nosy *Will throw weedkiller she made with magic at Howl's head because she is mad about her feelings towards him and will cut his suits into pieces*. Also lack confidence in a completely different way.
Movie!Sophie could not have handled Twinkle. (Also book!Sophie was not paid enough to handle Twinkle).
#i love them both but reading about book!Sophie after watching the movie is both hilarious and just mind-blowing#hmc#sophie hatter#howl pendragon#howl's moving castle#howell jenkins#sophie x howl#twinkle

I would love either Dousy or Howl x Sophie with the prompt mistletoe!! (Also it's totally valid that you don't ship Sabezra. Generally speaking I'm pretty neutral on it, but I have a lot of friends who ship it and that's gotten me more invested!)
(I forgot to ask if people wanted book or movie Howl and Sophie—I’m going with book here, I hope that’s alright.)
Sophie suddenly found herself halted in her rush back to the kitchen by Howl (sporting a bright red-and-green suit that she made a note to “accidentally” cut up to spare herself from a few less tacky fashion choices) leaning on the doorframe, grinning at her expectantly.
“Whatever are you smiling like that about?” she asked. She squinted at him. “Is that a candy cane earring?”
“My dearest, darling Sophie, light of my life,” he began in his most wheedle-some way, casting a deliberate glance upwards, “could you tell me what that is?”
It was then that Sophie noticed the green sprig fastened to the top of the doorframe. It had not been there a few minutes earlier. Giving her husband a suspicious look, she pulled it down and examined it closely. “Is this…mistletoe?”
Scarcely had she gotten a good look at the plant then Howl had plucked it out of her hands and held it above their heads again. “Yes, Sophie—mistletoe,” he said significantly, leaning towards her, eyebrows waggling.
Sophie met his gaze, and for a moment the two stared at each other, eyes locked. Then, blinking as if trying to clear her vision, Sophie pushed past him into the kitchen. “I don’t have time to hear about whatever this newest spell is, Howl, these pies have to go into the oven.”
It was then that the great wizard Howl Jenkins Pendragon, mouth agape, found himself suddenly remembering the existence of two realities—firstly, that he was in Ingary, not Wales, and secondly, Ingary certainly had no holiday traditions associated with obligate hemiparasitic plants.
“You daft, infuriating woman,” he moaned piteously, “you were supposed to kiss me!”
—
When Michael came through the front door twenty minutes later with Martha, bearing a few loaves of her fresh baked bread, he was arrested by the sight of Howl draped in a pathetic attitude across the sofa.
“Um…what are you doing?” he asked, regretting the question as soon as it left his mouth.
“I’m sulking,” he wailed, loudly enough so that everyone in the castle—in particular, someone who might be, say, baking pies in the kitchen—could hear. “Pouting. Wallowing in disappointment. Languishing in despair. Procure for me a thesaurus and I’ll keep going.”
Michael bit his lip and, out of a well-developed sense of self-preservation, continued on into the kitchen, pulling Martha after him, as if he’d heard nothing.
Christmas Drabbles Ask Game!
#this was maybe a bit more than a drabble but it came to me in a vision#poor longsuffering Michael#(also I just saw that it was your birthday—happy birthday!)#also I don’t remember if the castle has an actual kitchen or not? I’m assuming? if it doesn’t assume Sophie demanded one because she would#and you know now that I think about it I’m pretty neutral on sabezra#like I don’t actively ship it but I won’t be at all mad if it happens in the future#I guess I always considered them to be a little too alike? I dunno#I really love their friendship though#howl’s moving castle#hmc#howl x sophie#sophie hatter#howl pendragon#drabble

Modern AU Sophie DOESNT get old-cursed modern Sophie fucks up her knee badly enough to need a cane for a while, decides this means she doesn’t look attractive anymore, immediately starts wearing flannels and jeans everywhere since why not, she’s not hot anyway (Sophie is no longer conventionally attractive and LIVING for it she has grass stains all over herself) comes to realize in the middle of it all that she’s bisexual, falls in love (irritated) with Howl, philosophy/English lit phd student who has never thought he might be wearing Too many accessories (he is high femme and actively Into Rugby and he sees no issue with this and also thinks you too should not see any issue with this) and then three months into their relationship Sophie realizes she’s actually just butch.
#They meet bc Sophie got hired to clean the library and howl is constantly camped out in the basement occult studies section#Sophie is going to MURDER him he has SNACKS in the LIBRARY there are SPIDERS HERE he is INVITING MICE#Howl is delighted to be friends with the horrible new librarian. They go out for coffee and he Inflicts her upon his graduate advisor#Sophie is a plant bio/business major who had been firmly Not Thinking About It until he VERY last minute#She also has a job in the greenhouse where she can take her aggression out on the plants instead of decimating people who EAT IN THE LIBARY#Sophie had been sort of ‘oh well whatever is cheapest’ about school and therefore has been living at home (lives a town over) until she got#Her library job and an apartment#She simply 😔 cannot commute with her leg like that 😔 look here is a cheap-rent no-stairs apartment with oh my god the Library Snacker#(derogatory)#tbh I do think howl should just be Like That all the time he’s just A Dude#howl#hmc book

Sophie Hatter and Lucy Gringe/Heap should be best friends. They are very similar I don't think the Castle nor Ingary could survive them but I would be very happy.
Meanwhile Howl would be having a weird eye contact game with Marcellus Pye to determine who is the more vain and dramatic (and Howl would win because he is the most dramatic and vain AND because he punches people who kidnap children while Marcellus kidnaps them).
#this is very obviously about book sophie and book howl#hmc#howl's moving castle#hmc books#septimus heap#lucy gringe#lucy heap#Sophie Hatter#book!sophie#howl pendragon#howell jenkins#marcellus pye
