god I just love Rahadin so much

I mean he's got a constant miasma of human screams in his vicinity and he's just completely fucking chill about it like it's his lo-fi beats to study to

imagine anyone else in the castle trying to talk to him about anything and just having to politely pretend they aren't hearing constant wails of agony in their minds while they do it

Scary Godmother (Scary Godmother)

[nadiajustbe]

Once Howl bought himself a big flag of Wales for some purely national important holiday, so that his soul could be at ease that he did not forget his native important dates, because Wales does not love him, but he loves Wales

And he hung this flag somewhere in the Castle just for it to hang, seriously. He planned to take it down in a few days.

... But after the first visit, a very true rumor spread throughout Ingary that the horrible wizard Howl had defeated the dreadful dragon and hung its banner in his house as a trophy.

When these news reached the royal palace, Wizard Suliman laughed out of his mind.

reading howls moving castle again as a treat and am struck yet again by what a great character calcifer is. he’s an ethereal spirit of light. no he’s a contract-for-your-soul demon. actually he’s just a little guy. phenomenal cosmic power itty bitty living space ass guy. he doesn’t feel emotions except for all the emotions he has. needs a workers union. eats eggshells as a snacky. can disguise himself as nearly anything. has to concentrate really hard to make a little arm. shared a soul with a wizard for a few years. scared of rain. nigh omnipotent. very shy with strangers. he’s even in a throuple

Castle Arc Devotions - Pulverise

Mapicc’s sword swung down swiftly against the chestplate of the terrified PrinceZam who fell onto his back, desperately pushing against his hits, teeth gritted in determination with tears, drawn out from pain and frustration no doubt, gleaming behind his widened eyes. Mapicc and Zam’s swords clashed against each other, and Zam, with his already weakened body, was unable to maintain the grip on his as it flew out of his hands and far beyond his reach. Lacking a weapon, Zam resorted to using his hands, lunging up towards Mapicc, clawing at his face and wrapping his hands around his neck. Mapicc let out an irritated growl as Zam's nails came dangerously close to his eyes. He slammed Zam's body down before bringing his sword up and plunging it down into his diamond armour, breaking through it and piercing his heart.

Zam gasped for breath, tightening his grip around Mapiccs neck, clinging to life, glaring so viciously at Mapicc. So angrily. So fearfully. It was the last thing Mapicc saw before the weight on his neck loosened and PrinceZam disintegrated, leaving behind a barren inventory. Mapicc picked up what was left of Zam's items. The righteous, moral, prideful PrinceZam now dirt poor. Zam, who could always be relied on for gear, now with nothing.

Mapicc walked towards the castle, so easy to find even behind the dense forest because of the bright yellow beacon tempting all in the area towards it. Was PrinceZam's goal truly to hide away here forever? As if he would be able to. Mapicc knew Zam better than to sit back and watch. Always desperate to be involved. To fight for what he believed in. Even to betray his closest allies for those beliefs instead of fucking talking with them about it. Always so drastic.

Zam stood noble and firm at the gate of the tower, naked with nothing but a stone sword in his hands. It aggravated the already annoyed Mapicc.

“What could you possibly do with that Zam?” He asked exasperatedly.

Zams eyebrows scrunched together angrily, he opened his mouth to speak.

“Like I said,” Mapicc cut him off, “you’re not ready to fight against us. Even against just me you stand no chance. Especially if this is all you can muster up after a loss.”

He threw Zams items onto the ground along with a glistening LW netherite set.

“Take it. Maybe then you'll stand a chance against a god.”

He saw the confusion in Zams eyes, saw the realisation dawn upon him, saw the step back he took, away from the set he knew was duped. Items he had duped. Items they had duped together. Ban after ban after ban.

Mapicc turned around and walked towards the nether portal, not caring about whatever Zam would end up doing with the items. He turned and stared into Zam's terrified eyes as he left the overworld. A promise. This would not be the last time he visited.

I've never been scared of a comic panel before, it's always been "Oh!" before moving on.

Castle Swimmer came in with a metal baseball bat.
