So we know that Jin Ling is bullied at home by the Jin so he doesn’t have any friends there, certainly doesn’t have a Mianmian, but we also know that that no ones stupid enough to bully him at the Jiang Sect. So does Jin Ling have friends in the Jiang sect and he just doesn’t realize it?

Because I can definitely understand Jiang Cheng making a point of “Don’t get too close to those you’ll be in charge of, you need to be able to make decisions with a clear head” (there’s a better way to word that but it’s not coming to me) kind of like how his generation was. No one had a friend that wasn’t another heir except him/Yanli, aka Wei Wuxian who barely counts because he’s more family then friend, and Jin Zixuan, aka Mianmian. But there’s no reason other than politeness for the Jiang Juniors not to be atleast somewhat friendly with Jin Ling.

Like even though Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian’s station was above the other disciples, they were still pretty friendly and happy to see each other. So I don’t see why Jin Ling wouldn’t have had atleast people he likes in the Jiang Sect.

So! what if Jin Ling does have friends in the Jiang Sect he just doesn’t realize it until he visits with Jingyi, Sizhui, and Zizhen and you just hear “Oh so you can hang out with a fucking Hanguang-Jun stan but you’re too good for us? No Lotus seeds for Sect Leader Jin! For a thousand years!” Before Jin Ling is body slammed into a lake by two Jiang disciples who have been fucking waiting for him to come back to share gossip

Okay no I need to talk about the book version of Howl's Moving Castle. I love the movie but the book has such a different vibe and you, yes you, should read it.

Movie Howl is a soulful and quiet. Book Howl is a drama queen and Causing Problems and has a long string of jilted exes and couldn't shut up if you paid him.

Sophie and Howl drive each other up the wall at the beginning and it's really funny. Sophie and Howl are (despite themselves) very much in love by the end and they still drive each other up the wall and it's even funnier.

In the movie, Howl has been ordered by the king to participate in The War, and Howl is avoiding it because he is a brave conscientious objector. In the book, Howl has been ordered by the king to rescue his lost brother from the Witch of the Wastes, and Howl is avoiding it by any means necessary because he is a cowardly weasel who wants to stay as far from the Witch as possible.

In the movie, the Witch cursed Sophie because she was jealous about Howl speaking to Sophie for five minutes. In the book, the Witch cursed Sophie because Sophie had been doing surprisingly powerful magic for years without knowing it and it was actually starting to cut into the Witch's plans. (Sophie does not discover any of this until nearly the end of the book, but the reader can start to pick it up much earlier and the way Sophie's magic works is pretty darn cool.)

In the movie, there's a rumor that Howl eats the hearts of maidens, but this is implied to be nothing but nasty fearmongering. In the book, there's a rumor that Howl eats the hearts of maidens because Howl started the rumor so people would stop asking him to do wizard junk all the time.

The book lightly parodies a couple of tropes from Western fairy tales. In particular Sophie has internalized that, as the eldest of three sisters, her "destiny" is to fail so that her younger sisters will look cooler when they succeed, which is why she's so resigned to the hat shop at the beginning. (Sidebar: Sophie's sisters come up much more in the book and they're great.) There's also a really funny bit where Sophie attempts to operate a pair of seven-league boots.

In the movie, the fourth and final location that the magic door connects to is some sort of black void / mindscape / time portal dealy. In the book the fourth location is Wales, in the UK, on Earth, so that Howl can visit his family, because from Howl's perspective this is an isekai story.
