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.

I return with some fun, low-effort Murder Drones doodles because that's the only thing I have the time and energy for right now (turns out moving to another state to escape day job hell and also the transphobia is A Very Involved Process).
Speaking of moving and other life changes, I have a Patreon and Ko-fi now, for those of you who like what I do and want me to be able to do more of it faster.
My apologies to anyone who's actually fluent in Russian, because I am very much not and I sincerely hope google translate didn't screw me over.
Close-ups under the cut (click for best viewing):
#some of these are actually plot-relevant to my MD fan project sequel fic thing#why is Doll having a character arc? who is the green-eyed punk drone with a sensor array?#why does J have The Manor Sword and why is she beating the tar out of her emotions with Dramatic Pipe Organ Music and Signalis references?#well the answer to the first two is “because she deserves one”...#...and “Astel Hayden: walking excuse to do weird stuff with the Solver and also put more Internecion Cube in my Murder Drones”#as for the third...

Valentine's Day is fast approaching on the set of DRDT... sounds like time for a sequel! 💕
#danganronpa despair time#drdt#monotv#eden tobisa#whit young#fanganronpa#fangan valentine's special 2025#WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK!! i missed doing holiday/month based comics :.)#if the caption didn't make it clear this is also the unofficial sequel to 2023's secret santa saga#so like that comic series this takes place in an AU where the secrets motive didn't work and therefore everyone is still alive#(and monotv is peddling some exceptionally silly motive ideas in its wake)#as for those theorizing about the “unless”: i imagine you might conclude that there are two main ways this could go#and i'll tell you that i went with the less self-centric of the two options lol :P#if you have no idea what i'm talking about then. you'll see what i mean in the next installment tomorrow!!!#my art#comic#fanart

#dipplin#onto the DLC 'mons! i don't really like calling the hidden treasure of area zero a “dlc” just because of the negative connotation of#the word. “DLC” is always such a gross thing in modern games most of the time#whereas i'd consider sv's dlc to be more like an expansion. honestly‚ if i had to describe it‚ it's basically a fucking sequel#it's SO much content. and the story is SO damn good. way better than the base game#the characters are AMAZING kieran my belovèd. if you haven't played the sv dlc but you did play sv for some reason#and you've been avoiding it because it's a “DLC” and we don't like those#trust me. you'll love it#also‚ right after this is Not hydrapple‚ because that was added in the second half of the dlc so has a higher natdex number#actually that raises a good question for me. what the hell happens if you buy the dlc nowadays between the two halves??#like i remember there being a real life time gap in between the first half of the dlc and the second half#that was basically equivalent to the amount of time that passed in game. does it just timeskip to “a few months later”??#strange…

My Headcannons for how Infected and Kasper operate
Buckle up, this is a long post. Thinking about how characters function in relation to the world around them is basically a hobby of mine, so expect more. (I have others planned for both lampert and unpleasant at the very least)
(Not ship related) (angst heavy sorry)
Kasper’s infection is a brain-rooted/cognito-hazardous parasite
He got it after purposely ignoring a chainmail curse, both as a sort of “fuck around and find out” as well as an outright form of self-harm/self-sabotage.
The parasite is the one that primarily controls all the conscious actions of infected, while kasper now acts sub-consciously.
Its less of a split-mind situation and more of a Venom + Eddie or Gundam + Pilot situation they are two separate entities inhabiting the same body that can potentially act at the same time
It just so happens that the parasite from the chainmail curse has VERY similar desires/interests/motivations to Kasper, so the host/parasite relationship actually works very well.
Infected accidentally makes Kasper lose a decent chunk of weight after it takes over, due to it not being able to feel when Kasper is hungry and forgetting to let him eat
Kasper and Infected can be addressed separately (Lampert, UnpleasantGradient, Folly and maybe a few others know this) and Kasper tends to choose not to respond due to his own apathy, instead opting to let Infected take the lead.
Being able to respawn/no permadeath on the regretevator is the reason why Kasper opted to infect himself, as he saw it as the next closest thing to death/suicide.
Allowing infected to enter his mind has radically reduced Kasper’s lifespan. (He’d be lucky if he made it to his late 30’s)
His nose bleeds when Kasper and infected try to act at the same time
Infected is only transferrable via chainmail
Infected doesn’t feel any of the bodily necessities that kasper has, so its not uncommon for him to collapse of exhaustion, dehydration, hunger, ect. If someone doesn’t remind him.
Infected doesnt feel pain either
Kasper feels it though. A lot.
In fact the whole process of infected entering his mind was incredibly painful as is.
Infected isn’t the reason why things in the elevator/on his own body suddenly lose their texture, neither of them know why that happens now.
They personally aren’t physically effected by it and both find it cool, so neither are bothered.
It’s probably just the result of infected’s malware (thats only technically supposed to effect machines) managing to attach itself to a human. Or maybe Kasper could do that and never previously knew. Who knows. ;)
Kasper/infected can phase through objects that are textureless, including parts of his own body. Anything else will collide as it normally would, and take damage.
Infected will always talk with full leetspeak, (L13k D1$) while Kasper will only have one letter/number substitution (L1ke Th1s)
UG unintentionally named infected that. Basically just looked at Kasper, who had just let a parasite into his mind, and looked at the chainmail virus on his computer, and it went “huh… Bro’s Infected”
Bro is, in fact, infected.

One delightful thing about being a writer is when you get to make references to your own stuff.
The new space shanty sung by one character turns out to be based on something that happened to the other recently. And the same song will probably be years-ago history in the thing I'm going to write next week.
I always loved that sort of thing in the books I grew up reading. "OMG the ghost in this one scene is the main character from that other trilogy! And these other characters are reading a history about the stuff that happened in the first books! I am going to read this very carefully."
It's pretty awesome to be able to do bits of that same thing in my own writing. Even if I'm the only one who ever gets some of the more obscure references, I'm having a great time with them.
#writer life#amwriting#The Token Human#I'm planning the next story early#while also planning what to add to the draft of the sequel novel#writing in two timelines at once is a challenging dance#but fun#especially when I get to immortalize bits of it all in space shanties#love those#also I'll never get over the ghost thing#that was a great scene#Mercedes Lackey does this kind of callback well#easter eggs for the readers#I've always wanted to do the same thing#it's very fun#even in small doses

hhhhhhhhh sadness mouser Siffrin where they actively find Sadnesses to kill because they need an outlet and violence is a very easy answer (too easy but hey it's not themselves so). Vaugardians are grateful for the clear roads but the family is concerned™.
And one night Odile follows Siffrin and observes them hacking away at like thirty Sadnesses before she stops him. And not to chide or lecture about the bad coping mechanism because that's a losing battle in the middle of the night. It's to correct their battle stance. "Gems alive Siffrin you're channeling too much paper craft into your dagger. It's a surprise you haven't accidentally shot anyone like that, where did you learn to do that?"
And both of them walk away with something new, Siffrin (attempts) to learn moderation with craft magics and Odile learns how exceptionally observant and adaptable Siffrin can be in passing.
#nidboring#everything stays sequel#odile staring at them like what do you mean you learned how to heal just by looking at mirabelle do it in the timeloops#you never once asked any of us how to do craft??? and you have these insanely powerful paper and rock craft moves just from trial and error#no one taught you how to do that?#odile is impressed but also would love correct them so they arent sparking their craft everywhere#odile will try and fail and then mirabelle would explain it better after the two of them start debating on the proper way to wield craft#siffrin eventually gets a new cope but for now they continue fighting sadnesses but with new limits and proper stance#a distraction within the distraction to get their mind off of mindless violence

im trying not to sound like a broken record but my GOD I swear this game stays fresh even after replays. I thought I was done playing HFW but after seeing this cutscene i think I’m gonna have to schedule a replay of it this year…”I only wish that I could hear your voice again” AND SHE DOES!!!! SHE FUCKING DOES!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAA 😭😭😭😭
#horizon zero dawn#horizon#hzd#just you wait Gaia Aloy’s comingggggg 😭😭#I didn’t get a chance to replay HZD before FW came out but man#playing HZD after FW still opens your eyes to so many things mentioned in the sequel#I had completely forgotten far zenith and the odyssey are mentioned here#as well as the utaru and the tenakth!!!#junk#im also trying not to stop and post after every cutscene I see because I have many thoughts#otherwise I’ll never finish this run lol#ALSO watching all of this unfold again just drives me crazy thinking about#how the hell they’re gonna fit all of this in the movie#ugh maybe a series would have been better instead#the horizon world is just too damn big!!! so many things to explore and talk about!!#that movie better be at least two hours long
