Don't mind me

Interesting crossovers to do with Howl's Moving Castle:

- Sullivan from Monsters, inc. I blame fujurpreux. It's all about entering the wrong doors.

- Fujimoto from Ponyo on the Cliff. They were ttly interdimensional BFF before this guy moved out to the sea in disgust to his own species.

- Just Discworld. You know Howl can also move through L-space. Let's argue with the Librarian and fellow coward Rincewind!

I never said I'd write them. I just pointed out they were interesting ideas.

[fujurpreux.livejournal.com]

It's a start. <3

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

... Howl and Rincewind. That would be amazing.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Funny enough, they wouldn't get along. Starting with the fact that Rincewind wouldn't believe Howl is also a wizard, without a hat and all that... using magic. Needs moar sequins, too. Alas, the differences among magical cowards. He'd love the seven-league boots, though.

BTW, I read that the next Discworld book is a wizards one! It comes out in a few months in Britain.

they wouldn't get along
And that would be the best part of it. XD

Oooh, awesome! :D I need to get more Discworld books. I'm really behind.

I thought something like that when I saw Fujimoto in Ponyo!

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I keep wondering if it was something in the character design (oh Ghibli). Or just my intuition that most crazy, wicked wizards must know each other somehow.

Shiny ideas are shiny *w*

Sólo los estoy espantando para que se olviden de mí T_T

LMAO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOWL AND FUJIMOTO

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Me too so I don't have to write it myself sob

[lacunarity.livejournal.com]

Are we talking Ghibli Howl or original flavor? Both are good, they just give me a different mental image of the scenarios.

The Monster's Inc one gave me giggles, though.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Original flavor. Ghibli!Howl is too much of a woobie for me to imagine. It could still work, but it's not that funny without being a bit of a wicked bastard. Plus, the novel canon is the one where multiple dimensions work.

Sadly not my own plotbunny, but I'd like to write it if I didn't have a block.

I can't believe I'd never noticed how similar L-space was to Howl's castle! I guess this means Calcifer is the moving castle's equivalent of the Librarian, or something.

Now that I think about it, there are a lot of similarities between the two franchises, aren't there? I could totally see them existing in the same universe. The King in Howl's Moving Castle is exactly like, well, any guild-leader in Discworld, whereas Vetinari isn't all that different from the Wizard Sullivan.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Except this one works better with compliments, conversations, and bacon instead of banana bribes. Easier to talk to as well.

Bzuh? From what I recall, Sullivan was a normal, nice, even plain guy that had absolutely nothing to do with Veterinari. Or are you talking about that woman that was Howl's teacher or something in the movie canon? I was talking about the novels all this time.

[colonize.livejournal.com]

Ahaha! So true. Calcifer is also less likely to rip your head off for calling him what he is.

Pfft, I fail~ I haven't read the novel in the last decade, so when in doubt, my mind automatically falls back on the movie canon. Yeah, if I recall correctly, movie!Sullivan is a manipulative old witch who pulls both Howl's and the Witch of the Waste's strings. She's the closest thing their universe has to a Vetinari.
