Has nobody read Aqua Crysta? It was such a cute book series when I was a kid. I never got to finish it and still struggle to find all the books. Imagine the borrowers but in a crystal cave with magic. Honestly, studio Ghibli needs to get on this asap.

[sneeb-canons]

When one of them gets properly sick, hms will curl up together on the couch and watch movies. They'll go through almost the entire Ghibli catalog, and then if one of them is still sick (very likely, the initially sick one is close to both of the initially healthy ones so they usually all end up at least a little sick) they'll alternate between The Cat Returns and Treasure Planet. Sometimes Mind will say B.E.N.'s lines because he thinks it's funny. Heart knows all the visual gags by heart (heh) because Mind and Soul tell him about them so he can be included.

Also, Mind complains that in The Secret World of Arriety they should've kept the mouse traits for the borrowers because humans that scale would need a different diet. For this reason Heart and Soul have agreed to never show him The Matrix because he would never let it go that the robots are trying to gain energy from humans when living beings inherently use more energy than they output (seriously it drives me insane)

When Soul is sick, one of the first movies they always watch is Howl's Moving Castle bc Soul loves it, and Heart likes it but Mind HATES it, so he'll turn off his camera and play a recording of another movie internally. It used to bug Heart, but Soul pointed out that Mind could stop them from watching it entirely or he could leave, so Heart has reluctantly accepted it.

Soul dislikes the scene in Spirited Away where Chihiro's parents turn into pigs, so he always has his noise canceling headphones handy for the movie and Heart will "accidentally" flop a wing in front of his face or Mind will "accidentally" put one of his arms in the way of the screen so that Soul doesn't have to worry about not being able to see or hear period if something happens.

Heart dislikes The Wind Rises and doesn't have a specific reason why, he just does. Soul and Mind respect it though, and they only watch it if he's MIA or in deep sleep.

Inspired by me needing comfort recently and watching just about every Ghibli movie + Treasure Planet.

Got another ghibli AU idea for ya! Arriety AU where Yoichi discovers that Borrowers (Second) are real & that your world doesn't revolve around your physical limitations (or the delusions of an overprotective older brother).

Awww adorable!

1. Yoichi is a sickly teenager being homeschooled by his overprotective older brother. AFO insists that Yoichi can't even play with other children because his immune system is too weak. Actually AFO has been poisoning Yoichi for years to keep him safely at home.

2. Second is a Borrower who got picked up by a crow and separated from his family. He breaks free before getting eaten and shelters in the Shigaraki house. Yoichi spots Second taking a tissue from his table. Although Yoichi tries to tell his older brother, AFO doesn't take him seriously. In fact AFO puts Yoichi on a new medication to handle the hallucinations. (It's more poison.)

3. The next night, Yoichi lays out snacks as a trap and stays up late. He successfully catches Second stealing them--or, as Second insists, borrowing. It's against the rules for Borrowers to talk to humans, but Yoichi lures Second to stay a bit longer with a chocolate bar. Yoichi offers to help Second find his way back home. They get out a map and work together to figure out where Second came from. Afterward Yoichi destroys the map. He's decided not to tell his brother about this.

4. Now that Yoichi has seen someone smaller than his hand fending for himself, he refuses to believe he's too weak to go outside. He gets more rebellious and talks back to his brother. Also, he sneaks outside a couple times to prepare to help Second leave. In retaliation, AFO gives Yoichi a stronger dose of poisoned medicine. Second overhears AFO on the phone with his mad scientist Garaki, discussing how Yoichi might die if they're not careful with the doses. Second tells Yoichi the truth about his so-called medicine.

5. Yoichi confronts his brother. AFO locks Yoichi up in his room. From talking to Garaki, AFO learns that Borrowers are real. He decides it would be better to have his little brother in a tinier form, easier to control. Then he won't need to risk Yoichi's health with the poison. Garaki gives AFO a potion that turns Yoichi into a Borrower.

6. AFO locks Yoichi up in a dollhouse. Second breaks Yoichi out. Together, they escape back to Second's family. AFO discovers that Borrowers are much harder to find than humans. Silly AFO, ensuring that Yoichi and Second can break the species barrier and be together.

(All of these are free to use in my Three Weeks of Trioholders event.)
