Seriously tho, this movie is excellent.
You have a wonderful setting, with very likeable characters, and the most simple storyline of all. A witch moves out of her home to start the next step of her life. That's it.
Combine that with the beautiful Miyazaki animation, the super charming writing, the good character arcs, and Joe Hisaishi's iconic score, and you have a downright wonderful movie. Definitely check this one out!
And now, if you excuse me, I need to figure out this flying. Oh dear.

hello holythemis may i humbly request writing tips ? hehehehe
somehow your story flow and dialogue is always so natural but still interesting ?! how TT
also bonus : which upcoming fic/wip are you the most excited for ? 💓💓💓
skskssk of course! i always love receiving asks. thank you yiyi!
to be 100% honest with you all, I very much projected like most authors and I kind of just go with the flow.
but for fics that i like to make a bit more intricate, like the iso no awabi series and another upcoming fic i'm writing, i like to use a bit more than just "winging it"
so first, i like to set the plot. who are the characters, what's happening, how do the interact with each other, do they like each other etc. of course, this can change any time throughout your fic so never be afraid to change it up a bit
i also like to try to have the solution to any conflict and a way to solve the conflict, so there's 100% a lot of worldbuilding, which isn't all that fun until you put the fic out.
also, something new i've been doing, i write scenes for parts of my fic i know will be there and then as i'm writing, just slot it in. i've gone from 10 to 4 to 2 and back to 4 docs right now for my upcoming fic, so i'm going a little crazy with it sksksk
and sometimes a beta works, but are often not for everyone, so i don't recommend if you're new to writing and don't want to feel like you're being torn down because i personally like my betas harsh and to the point but some people don't like that. so if you do get a beta, make sure you set clear boundaries
also! it's fun to have little sticky notes of extra stuff you want to include in your fic just to make it seem not as stale or dark i guess, unless that's what you were going for
as for my dialogue, i try not to use big words. sometimes, the urge to use juxtaposing comes across me but i tend to operate by assuming that someone reading this might not be a native english speaker and i stray from uncommon words. i also try to make it feel like an actual conversation, and i've had @holyhyacinths (WHO COPIED MY AESTHETIC) act out scenes with me. or talking to yourself, which is kind of weird
i also have a great writing support system in the perpollo server, and i also enjoy complaining about how hard writing is to @sappho-of-space and @whoreofdixnysus or sometimes just for an extra writing boost
also, never be afraid to take inspo from other texts and fics. there's this one fic, i really like their characterization of one character so i tend to use their interpretation of that character in my writing. although, it can sometimes veer too close to plagiarism so be careful!
bonus! i'm very excited to be working on my ancient greek perpollo fic that has recently undergone a title change. it's gone from arabian nights to death, suits you dear sir. i'm having a shit ton of fun and there is a lot of research and i will be obnoxious with the linking for this fic, but it is a lot of fun
as for upcoming wip, i'm really excited for is the ao3 author perpollo trope i have planned, a few harry potter things, and a reboot of one of my first fics ever posted.
and honorary mention, the final installment of iso no awabi. it's kind of weird that it's coming to and end tbh, but you all have been so supportive.
