Thanks for replying to my notice. Feel free to check out some articles I wrote on Castle on my page if you like. I adore this movie.

Of course! I love to interact with other fans of an otherwise underrated film.

I know I’m relatively new to this little fandom (2012 seemed to be the peak year for LCTIS), but I’m so invested.

I’ve been in love with this movie forever; the whole thing is practically burned into my brain at this point…

This film has given me renewed interest in history, alternate history, science, and anthropology, believe it or not. I wish I could explore that castle :(

There’s just so much to explore with the characters and the beautiful world that Miyazaki crafted to tell his story. I just can’t get enough!

I believe the dislike of Anna Paquin’s voice stems from her sounding much older than her character, as well as the small dips into her New Zealand accent. Though I feel like both of those factors give her character a little more intrigue.

My evidence that Sheeta is absolutely feral

Knocking Muska out the second she has a chance (good on her):

Throwing shovels at pirates:

Biting bad guys:

Bodying the same guy later:

And using her face as a hammer:

Not to mention she tells Muska that Laputa will be a tomb for them both.

And then proceeds to decimate the entire city (well most of it), and stay alive by sheer luck.

Not that I like this fact, but Sheeta is the only Ghibli heroine to kill her respective antagonist. If that’s not feral, I don’t know what is.

Best Ghibli girl, hands down.

Imagine how different Castle in the Sky would have been if Pazu and Sheeta’s kite didn’t catch on the tree and they missed Laputa completely lmao

Not me just realizing that all of the aetherium within the earth and above it is connected in some way or another, like a mycelium complex with Wi-Fi.

How poetic that even thousands of feet in the sky, the Laputians still couldn’t escape the earth they left behind.

I mentioned this before in another post, but the fact that Sheeta’s pendant dissipated the storm shows that this theory has some truth to it.

The connection between the two crystals is so strong that it evaporated a hurricane.

Additionally, it appears that the purest specimen, trapped within the bowels of Laputa, also has a great affect on the other sources below it.

Whenever Laputa passes over anything that contains aetherium, like the mines or Sheeta’s crystal, it immediately lights up, or activates.

This could also explain why Sheeta’s pendant reacted so explosively at Tedus (it got supercharged by the main crystal).

In other words, aetherium is an absolutely overpowered element. It’s got better connectivity than Verizon.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

This hyperfixation had been going on for wayyy too long.

It’s such a shame my brain chose the most controversial pairing ever instead of the one you’re supposed to ship…

As soon as I complete a big fanfiction I will be satisfied. I’ve put too much into this fandom to let go before it’s done.

I hope to have it done by the end of this year!

What is Pazu and Sheeta’s ship name, even??

Peeta?

Sheet-zu??

I don’t even know

Laputian Immortality

So, I thought of something while writing my countless, unshared fanfictions for this movie.

What if Laputian immortality doesn't begin until one is exposed to the element of aetherium long enough for it to activate the same element in their blood? The reason laputians died was because they moved to the earth, where the element was all around them but unactivated and impure.

Muska likely had little to no exposure to pure aetherium until he found Sheeta. Now he was wearing her crystal (unactivated), which might have begun the process, but his blood wasn't activated until he touched the crystal when it was active. Hence why it shocked him. This activated his immortality and agelessness, and that's part of the reason it was painful.

He obviously never realizes this, until, of course, he falls and finds that he's not dead when he really should be. Muska would probably remain blind for a few decades or longer, as sight is much harder to heal.

Sheeta, being much younger, likely wouldn’t notice until she reached later adulthood that she wasn’t aging.

What a terrible curse that would be—to watch all those you love die—and for your enemy to be the only one to survive…

Day 16183873 of wondering why I’m still obsessed with angry glasses man

Then realizing if I’d watched the Japanese version I wouldn’t be in this predicament (probably)

It’s been three years…

Not me working on a 50-70 chapter fic that I’ll probably never finish 😅

Recent art!

Poll results are in!

As I expected, Lady Eboshi had the most amount of votes!

I also did some math, so here’s ~approximately~how many people voted for each person:

Eboshi: 258

Muska: 16

Kushana: 41

Fujimoto: 48

Thank you for voting!!

I love your dedication and knowledge of the film and characters, that’s so cool!

That’s how I am with Castle in the Sky. It has to be one of the more underrated films Ghibli has produced, which is a shame, since the world is so gosh darn intriguing!

Unfortunately it’s also the only movie (minus Tales of Earthsea, but we don’t talk about that one) where a character is just so lost in their pursuit of power that they can’t be redeemed, only killed.

Muska is definitely the odd one out here, or at least he’s the only one that truly belongs in this poll. Man was lost in the sauce and just couldn’t escape it.

And of course I have to hyperfixate on the one Ghibli movie with an irredeemable antagonist…just my luck…. Smh

I would talk more about it, but judging by the poll, people absolutely despise Muska (which is understandable, he’s an asshole).

I blame Mark Hamill, his voice was a little too lovely to voice such a despicable character lmao

Okay, so since no one has done a poll like this yet, here you go. ;)

Thank you for your reply!

You are correct, though I would argue that Eboshi IS an antagonist, since she prevents Mononoke from reaching her goals.

Not all antagonists are bad; it’s a matter of viewer perspective. She’s painted as one, even though neither her or Mononoke are.

I chose her because of the “general” insinuation that she is an antagonist. Eboshi has many redeemable qualities, and I love her for that.

In no way was this meant to offend— I like her a lot (she’s my second favorite Ghibli character on this poll).

The same goes for Fujimoto—he was only trying to protect his daughter.

Only one person on this list is too far gone.

The other three are representations of some sort of repentance, and that true villains don’t really exist.

Okay, so since no one has done a poll like this yet, here you go. ;)

Since I’ve been running a poll this week in hot Ghibli villains, here’s my evidence as to why I think Muska is hot (controversial, I know):

He’s got really fluffy hair:

Unique eyes:

And an absolute dump truck of an ass:

Nice hands too:

And he is an intelligent character, despite being utterly outsmarted by a pair of eighth graders…

But the main reason he’s so attractive is his suave voice, supplied by Mark Hamill in the Disney dub.

He may be mentally ill and problematic, but literally so are a lot of characters on this hellsite.
