Cannot Stress Enough how important it is to read Howl’s Moving Castle written by Diana Wynn Jones immediately after watching Howl’s Moving Castle directed by Hayao Miyazaki. When he made the movie he was of course upset with war and thus included it in the film, but you gotta understand. You really Gotta Understand. Every time in the movie where Howl turns the door dial black to travel to an absolutely hellish warscape? You know where that same dial takes him in the book? The Real World Country Of Wales
i often think about the moment when fjord said yes when essek asked him if the troops should engage with the tomb takers so the spellcasters could get their rest. it still gives me chills. the nein often argue who their leader is, and i think after that moment, there was a definite answer.
i think it reflects on Travis as a person too. Matt called him the lion and paladin of the group. He’s a fighter and defender of the ones he loves and cares for, and he makes the hard decisions when they can’t. Travis is an amazing human being and is devastatingly underrated.
While taking a nap today I dreamt there was a hazard sign called "never found" which was used to indicate a location where people disappeared never to be seen again
Oh also I need everyone to be aware that the goblins weren’t cgi. They were short people in costume. The Goblin King also wasn’t cgi, it was a puppet manned by five people. Ncuti and Millie did not pre-record and then lip sync their parts of the Goblin Song, they had to sing to cardboard cutouts of the goblins as soon as the cameras started rolling. One of the goblins was played by the lady who plays Po in the Teletubbies. No Davina McCalls were hurt in the process of making this episode.
I’ve just read the novelisation of the Giggle and the ending has me on my knees - it goes into much more detail than the show so guess what
THE DOCTOR BOUGHT THAT HOUSE
THAT IS HIS HOUSE
He chose it, he went to an estate agents and said ‘I want this pretty house’, offered them £60, then rang Kate Stewart and discovered he was getting paid by UNIT this whole time, was able to afford the house/mortgage and BOUGHT THAT HOUSE
The Nobles still have a house in London but they STAY WITH THE DOCTOR NEARLY ALL THE TIME
He chose the house with a sunroom so WILF COULD LIVE DOWNSTAIRS COMFORTABLY
