i love the difference of sophie’s inner struggle between the book and the movie. how in the movie she believes herself plain and ordinary, not beautiful in the slightest. yet howl genuinely consoles her:
how in the book she battles with feelings of inadequacy, of being worthless, and yet howl encourages her:
in both adaptions, howl acts as the voice of love and support. every bad thing sophie tells herself are the values which howl cherishes. it’s about the love. i’m so sick i might throw up

Sophie's denial is literally the best part of the book because in 300+ pages she:
a) Managed to convince herself that the smile Howl was using was a special smile that he used specifically to attract women. And that's the only reason she "fell" for it.
b) Listed absolutely everyone around, from people to dogs, as the reason for her recent anger, but didn't mention the real reason, which she knew perfectly well was Howl visiting ms. Angorian.
c) Describied Howl's beauty in one line with insults in his direction, and thought it was completely normal.
d) Sewed a suit for him and accidentally enchanted it to attract women, them began to explain any positive feelings towards him with this.
e) Was ready to literally destroy the garden when it turned out that the suit was not the case and so couldn't blame her emotions on one from now on.
f) Created a murderous weed killer among her jealousy and specific dislike for lilies. Still couldn't explain it to herself.
g) Almost killed that one crazy daredevil who decided to come and tell her that she's actually down for him pretty bad with it.
h) Went so far into her denial that the thought that the person she was in love with did not love her was a relief for her because it meant that nothing would change and she could continue to be in it.
i) Almost killed the above-mentioned person with the above-mentioned weed killer because she did not want to face her own feelings And because she chose murder.
j) Pushed a person out the door out of sheer jealousy. Still didn't do what she was expected to do, though.
k) When her own crush on Howl finally started to dawn on her, she decided to go save the person she thought he was in love with. He very obviously wasn't.
l) And, in the end, continued to think so even when Howl came to save HER in an absolutely terrible state, almost afraid of the thought that his appearance was a sign of true love.
What a woman.
Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.
Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.
I feel like I need to share my favourite Jet Lag outake, that, afaik, was only uploaded on Scotty's twitter. It's so fucking funny. Adam looks like he's having an actual brain aneurism while Ben is just like 😕 I don't like it
there's a lot of love for computer science genius skye/daisy johnson, but i think a lot about pattern recognition anaylsis expert daisy too. she was the first to react to Fitz's run-down of the Peruvian 0-8-4, clocked how highly militarized the Hub was about Ward and Fitz's mission despite the brief being about disabling a weapon, saw the connection between Hannah Hutchins and Tobias Ford and this is just off from the top of my head from season 1 alone.
she knew something was happening in SHIELD when the Iliad crew hunted for her in the Retreat. she understood fitz’s theory of using her powers to open the Kree Monolith when he was still halfway explaining himself. she found Ivanov and Coulson’s connection in 4x14 The Man Behind the Shield, which ultimately revealed Ivanov’s motive. she even knew that there would be some incident or event in which they will need her powers back in season 5, which was her entire reason of staying behind.
also the Framework. it’s essentially a world made of binary. it makes sense that even if she didn’t have her avatar’s memories, she caught on when May and Coulson pointed out AIDA’s strategy in 4x22 World’s End. May saves the girl in Bahrain, the Cambridge Incident happens, Hydra reveals themselves and blames the Inhumans. “It’s me. I’ll be the monster. She wants the same fascist state she had in the Framework.” she was there for ten days tops and she got all that without the memory duplicity thing? she fucking rocks
Mack’s doneness in Agents of Shield is the type of apathy I aspire to feel. He just does not care anymore. He’s so done. He just wants to be a father and a mechanic but this found family found him and dragged him along on their adventures. He does not want to be there but his little brother (Fitz) and his little sisters (Daisy and Jemma) need him so fine, he’ll stay. He is the people who say ‘why are characters in horror movies so dumb? Don’t go into the dark scary house alone!’ But then he goes in anyway because his dumb family is and he needs to protect them. I will never get over him in the framework, he was so happy! But ya, he’s very funny with his doneness, especially seasons four and five because robots and aliens. But he’s ok, as long as he has his shotgun-axe.
