Hi, I'm Elle. 26. Reader/Writer/Tea drinker. I'm a night owl, a professional procrastinator and a certified lover of all things literary. Also kind of an accountant, but that's boring. ............................................................................................................................................................................................
Im cute and im sexy and thats why im allowed to build my wizard tower within city limits. Zoning laws dont apply to me because the whole city council is so charmed by my voluminous robes and funny hat.
i think theyre actually charmed by that spell u put on them, not ur style
You take me for a beguiler? Accuse me of bewitchment? Nay, I say not. If theyre bespelled by anything its by my luminous personality and dumptruck asscheeks
gd. richard gansey iii is literally Such a deeply bizarre dude. this short WASP kid from a wealthy and respected political family really just said nope to all of that and decided to be a 15 year old hitchhiker bum in europe entirely alone from all of his family and spend his teenage years hyperfixating on an obscure piece of welsh history because he resurrected from the dead and he thinks that the dead king from celtic mythology saved his life. he comes to aglionby like, yes i am likeable and perfectly normal, i am neurotypical, i am a generic richboy who is excellent at social cues and societal norms, you will all love me, my near-obsessive hyperfixation with an obscure mythical ruler due to severe ptsd and a near-death experience (about which i claim i did in fact die, and came back to life) is super normal, it is so unremarkable and normal of me to think that said long-dead king actually didn’t die at all but he came to a tiny little town in southern virginia to go to sleep for a couple hundred years and this is absolute fact in my mind, i am the posterboy for WASP politics men when they are teenagers. like what do they all think of him.
I don’t think we appreciate how much Howl’s jacket being casually draped over his shoulders contributes to his Vibe™. Can you imagine how different his whole aesthetic would be if his Jacket was buttoned all the way up
that’s like an entirely different genre of gnc wizard
Consider. A human wakes up in a strange medical bay, with an alien doctor standing over them. Turns out their shuttle crashed, and the alien ship only just managed to teleport the, on board in time.
By some miracle, the doctor explains, they escaped with only minor injuries. Some burns, a few scratches and “several small wounds. We’re not sure what caused them.”
“Wounds?”
“Small holes in your ear lobes. Possibly they were old wounds and unrelated to the accident, but either way, our doctors were able to heal them for you. There’s not even any scarring.”
The human pauses. Thinks for a minute. “Wait… you unpierced my ears?!”
“I… Suppose we did? Is that a problem?”
“Er, not exactly. It can be redone. though it’s not gonna be fun. But my people do that to ourselves on purpose. It’s self-ornamental… I don’t know the word. We decorate ourselves with small stones and bits of shaped metal or plastic.”
“Oh!! I’m sorry, that’s a fairly rare behavior among sapients. Why, if I may ask?”
“uh. It… Looks cool? I guess?”
“…My experience with humans is limited, but I gather that’s the reason for many of your behaviors.”
*from the next bay over comes the anguished scream of your co-pilot*
howl’s moving castle is fucking hilarious like this complete stranger shows up at his house and goes “bitch you really live like this? this is the nastiest house i’ve ever seen, i’m gonna be your cleaning lady from now on because you clearly need one” and howl’s just like “sounds fair, do you want some breakfast?” no questions asked
if someone showed up at my house and told me they’re my new cleaning lady, I’d not only make them breakfast, I’d cry tears of joy
