ok so I just finished listening to the howl’s moving castle and it was the GREATEST THING like I don’t even need to gay it up that’s how great it was but then there was the difference in character in howl between the movie and the book and @ibijau said the movie howl is how howl probably think he is which led to the GREATEST IDEA that the movie is how howl tells the story to his kids when sophie isn’t here like

other women ??, what other women I have never courted a single other woman than your mom ha ha hhhaaa

I was so smooth tbh i was the smoothest tall and handsome

ok there was the green slime incident ok but like it was TOTALLY not about another girl not finding me hot enough to drop at my feet n o i was never LIKE THAT

btw I saw through sophie’s curse straight away haha

oh yeah I think sophie had a sister ??? y e a h i think i remember she was named lettie I remember because I’m very careful about remembering stuff about sophie like the number of her sisters or their name.

“oh god, michael was like, a baby at the time. Like. He was probably eight or something.” “I was fifteen” “were you ? im probably thinking of some other child idk maybe it was marco” “there never w… whatever”

my room was full of cool shit so much cool shit don’t touch my room

oh yeah we… totally befriended the witch of the waste y e a h nobody died or nothing also I did cool stuff to stop a war like cool shit like full body transformation !!! and never into a dog I WOULD NEVER

nobody was ginger ever ginger is terrible

nobody ever had pink hair either

and I NEVER WAS DRUNK A DAY IN MY LIFE I SWEAR

family what family ha watchamean i never had a family

I NEVER TOOK POSES

AND I SEDUCED YOUR MOM ON THE FIRST TIME I MET HER OK BY BEING REALLY COOL AND TOTALLY NOT HOLDING A GUITAR I DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO PLAY

yeah and yeah I’m the only wizard in the family, yeah sophie does some shady stuff sometimes but. I’m the wizard ok. is she called sorceress sophie ??? no she’s called mommy sophie there’s a reason I’M THE WIZARD OK KIDS

I think.. we had a dog… at some point…

“happy endings” this “sad endings” that– you can debate the relative merits of each till your mouth goes dry and it’s still not a meaningful binary. Is the ending coherent and emotionally appropriate for the story? Cool.

The Anti-Christ came and went, but no one noticed because he wasn’t worse than the current state of the world already is. The rapture followed, but no one went to Heaven, so we didn’t notice that either. We’ve been living in Hell for the last 5 years, and no one has noticed, yet.

WAYS TO SUPPORT/BE AN ALLY

Here is a compilation of places to donate (IF you can, simply reblogging and sharing this can help) and petition to sign. I found these websites and organizations on twitter.

DONATIONS

THE MINNESOTA  FREEDOM FUND: Donate to this to collect funds to pay jail bonds for the protesters who get arrested.

BLACK LIVES MATTER: An organization fighting for the BLM movement. Donate if you can. 

BLACK VISIONS MN: an organization that is led by Black, Queer and Trans people. Donate if you can.

NAACP Legal Defense Fund: Fights for the overall equality fight. Donate if you can.

PETITIONS

Willie Simmons has spent 38 years in prison for a $9 robbery. He had two prior convictions similar to robbery that he served time for. He was prosecuted under the Alabama Habitual Offender law and was given a life sentence for his third strike - stealing 9 (NINE) dollars. Sign his petition. 

Breonna Taylor was killed by police who were conducting an UNANNOUNCED drug raid, where they gave no request to enter. They bashed her door and entered, shooting her EIGHT times. They were in the WRONG HOUSE. 

George Floyd was killed by a police officer who knelt on his neck and suffocated him to death, after George pleaded with the officer and told him he couldn’t breathe. The officer had pulled him from where he sat in his car on an alleged FORGERY. You can also text “FLOYD” to 55156

ARREST THE OFFICERS WHO KILLED GEORGE FLOYD: The main police officer who murdered George is being kept in PROTECTIVE CUSTODY. You probably have heard he was arrested, but this is NOT TRUE. He was placed under PROTECTIVE custody because of the riots and “threats” on his life. 

If you know of ANY other organizations or petitions, PLEASE ADD TO THIS LIST. The fight for justice doesn’t end here, it will never end. Especially when the president of the United States calls white supremacists good people and protesters of a mans death THUGS. USE YOUR VOICE. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE. FUCK COPS. FUCK “BLUE LIVES”. ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER!

I’m just going to say it: to my fellow white people, READ AFRICAN-AMERICAN LITERATURE. James Baldwin! Toni Morrison! Ralph Ellison! There are many, many authors out there, so expand your horizons! Read The Autobiography of Malcolm X. Read The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. If you’re into art, discover African American artists! Henry Ossawa Tanner! Mickalene Thomas! LaToya Ruby Frazier! I truly encourage all of you to be open to new perspectives! Not just that, but educate yourselves. Be an ally to the black community! Listen to what these people have to say!
