into the moving castle miserable gays

[sagegreenfrogs]

should i write a tdp howl's moving castle au? perchance?

[shiocreator]

Howls moving castle (I am looking at more the book but even THEN it's gonna change a LOT so there Might be a mix of both??) au with Idia as Howl and Prince Justine mix, Ortho as a sorta mix of Calcifer and Michael, "yuu"(I am placing my oc scarlette here) as Sophie but instead of an Old curse it's a monster curse (scarlette can become a monster in her regular Canon so I swapped some stuff around, monster idea is some sorta bird thing ironically enough considering what they gave movie Howl)

The reclusive wizard with several rumors circling about him, majority painting pictures of a terrifying ghastly man who'd no doubt steal your soul away and devour it or use it in potions and the like, all the while Idia Shroud is actually the runaway prince from the kingdom that's being searched for, with Ortho accompanying him to protect him but like. Also. He's worried about him and hoping maybe eventually he can make SOME friends, but that isn't too promising since Idias kinda purposefully driving people away....

Until a young woman gets cursed after bursting in to save a Neige LaBlanche from something the witch of the waste Vil tried to do (and the fact she barged in and saved Neige made him snap outta it and now hes horrified at what hes done), her running the fuck away in absentminded panic and when feeling a resignation to her fate, ends up finding the roaming castle, and kinda being allowed to break in by Ortho.

The deal, become Idia's friend and Ortho will do his best to help her with this curse that's turned her into a monster thing! Of course she can't say anything about the curse to anyone so she can't even tell someone else to get help...

Idia isn't too pleased about the unwanted guest which Ortho probably said she was staying here now much to idias confusion and horror, but also I feel like he would have an easier time talking to someone who doesn't necessarily look too human currently and ortho predicted this

Etc etc etc

First years should be friends of hers and should break into Idias castle to save her cuz they didn't know she forced herself into staying against idias will

Started thinking bout the book again so. Good ol au time...... not everything is fleshed out but I think it's fun

Idia leaves his castle once a month cuz ortho has him use it as a chance to touch grass SOMETIMES at least and he hates it

You know how in the book Howl essentially flirted with Sophie as his first appearance? Yeah well Scarlette accidentally spooked the poor fucker here actually apologized and ran off and Idia had to recover from short woman scare. This man has no game, he wouldn't gain Howl's playboy-isms

Unsure how Ortho fulfills roles here but I do feel the combo of calcifer and Michael is due to how Idia would NOT have more than his brother on his house + Ortho has limbs alongside being able to control the castle probably

I HAVE. NO IDEA ... HOW TO INCORPORATE HOWLS CURSE HERE... Vil is far more sympathetic than the witch and if anything I feel it's a book 5 overblot situation that left him cursing people and even then idk why IDIA would be on his radar, guess he doxxed him....

Book 6 reference of Rook using a spell to hunt down the monster Vil created tho to make vil and gang try to find her and the castle tho.... vil wants to find a way to remove the curse he placed on her by mistake out of remorse because even neige didn't deserve that as much as he hates him let alone the poor random

And how I'm incorporating Sophie being a powerful magic user? Scarlette being able to slowly over time control her curse, able to make the feathers and inhuman aspects disappear, eventually able to pop em out at will and such, much to everyone confusion how is she doing that. What the fuck

Theres prob more stuff but ! I have found this au fun to think about so sharing it

Bonus poll for tonight.

Based on the replies on my Howl poll, how successful would Howl Jenkins Pendragon (book version)…

Main propaganda that people gave for the mic/wrestling skills was that Book!Howl is a rugby player. From my own research, I point people to this post about the big differences between movie Howl and book Howl.

It’s super self indulgent but Howl’s Moving Castle with Valzhang. I’ve got like thoughts but nothing super concrete?? I just know Leo is Howl and Frank is Sophie.

I’d like to write a proper fanfic but rn all i got are scenes in my head.

Leo meeting Festus

Okay i’m sure someone else has thought of this, but i’m rewatching the movie so here you go:

Howl’s Moving Castle AU!Dreamling

- Dream is Howl. Very fashionable. Bad at relationships. Powerful. Throws tantrums. Just wants to be loved.

- Hob is Sophie. Hard working. Runs on spite. Just a normal guy among all this magic. Everybody loves him. Stubborn af.

- Matthew is Markl. Helps Dream out. Doing his best. Often confused. Cares about Dream/Howl.

- Lucienne would probably be Calcifer. Keeps everything running. Dream’s confidante. Could be sassy if she had the chance.

Not quite sure about the other characters. Burgess could be Madame Sulliman maybe?? Have Desire be the Witch of the Wastes?? Who do you think?

Dangit I've made another wip while I was determined to finish old ones first but this morning in the shower HMC IchiMasa au came to me and it's just so perfect I can't believe I never thought of it before. Mousy, shy, self-confidence-lacking Masa/Sophie and elegant, beautiful, dishonest, heartless Yaichi/Howl??

[fnafwritings]

Okay, hear me out, but what about a Howl’s Moving Castle AU? Not a perfect 1-1, but I really enjoy the idea of them being in the role of Howl—especially if I can find a clever way to keep their separate personalities distinct *and* play a part in the plot or worldbuilding of it.

For example: Sun plays the upbeat and over-dramatic side of the character, while Moon is quiet, reserved and full of secrets that trying to keep them hidden often makes the reader (Sophie) thinks he hates them or smth. So many ideas to play with 📝

howl if he had to experience the current state of the 21 century
