Baha x Howl’s Moving Castle :>
Part 1
» OS PORQUÊS — pedido pessoal
⟅03.03.2024 — sendo bem sincero, a "capa tá pronta" já faz um tempo (desde o mês passado) MAS ainda não tinha colocado aquele ✨tchan✨para entregar a capa, e por isso que sim, vai ficar com essa data (essa explicação é inútil mas estou bem elétrico editando esse post então ignorem meus devaneios e sigam o flow). Eu sou apaixonado por esse filme (tanto que se eu pudesse, me juntaria a trupe e viveria nesse universo de tão perfeito que é) e até por isso que minha lista de ships supremos dos animes começou com Howl e Sophie e dado a esse fato, sou muito grato ao Castelo Animado por ser otaku fedido kkkk eu tive dificuldade com essa capa pq ainda sofro com os pombinhos e comecei com uma ideia romântica (óbvio que eu vou tentar tacar estilo romântico em tudo que é capa e não ta tudo bem) mas eu achei uma fofura essa capa gente, uma capa clean muita nhom nhom pra aquecer meu coração em tempos tão turbulentos pra mim. E é isso <3
Is it me or does Jupiter in this also look like calcifer from howls moving castle
Howl’s Moving Castle Main Theme (Piano) - Joe Hisaishi
Do you think some higher being gives humanity a plague for every 100 years of human hatred towards each other and sends them again and again because we can't get a clue and help each other instead of looking for other reasons to hate?
The inktober is over wooo!
So here are the last drawings
Prompt list because why not
Day 28: Flora + brutal
(I hate it, there is nothing else I want to say about it...)
Day 29: Fauna + mutation
(This one turned out to be pretty cute)
Day 30: Flame + personality
(I love Calcifer so I had to draw him for this one)
Day 31: Artist
(She is cute)
Because people like to compare him to Howl ;))

Two studio Ghibli pieces I’ve done over the past week! Im so happy with how these came out, especially the backgrounds!
My two favorite dramatic men 🔅 Lee Taemin as Howl
Just watched my first Studio Ghibli movie at almost 18 (it was Howl's Moving Castle) and I'm so very not okay. I don’t normally watch movies because of my shit attention span but this had me hooked from the get-go. Loved the animation, the voice acting, the plot, the characters, all of it. This will likely be the only thing I think about for the next few days.
i'm just curious bc i'm watching How to Train Your Dragon and i always forget how happy and calm it makes me feel. i mean, i did name my cat after Toothless the dragon. but i also love Lion King, that's my Disney comfort movie. and my Ghibli comfort movie is Spirited Away. watching any of these when i'm in a foul mood or my anxiety is high always helps 🥰 but i watch them just for fun too, not only when i'm in a mood. what about you?
In love with the implication at the end of howls moving castle that at some point turnip head is gonna come back and try and be a homewrecker
Sometimes a family is just you, your emo wizard husband, the child he’s adopted, a dog that may or may not be a spy, a literal fire demon, and the geriatric witch trying to eat said husbands heart
watching a movie isn't enough i need it to possess my soul and feed on my body
you know, I rewatched howl’s moving castle about 10 times but never drew any fanart before
Characters I Headcanon have Bipolar disorder
(From the perspective of someone living with Bipolar 2)
**Disclaimer**
This is all meant to be in good fun and I’m no mental health expert; merely someone who has been through lots of therapy
Let’s Begin!
1. Rin Okumura from Blue Exorcist
I’ve always related to Rin Okumura, especially during the time I was under the mistaken diagnosis of ADD. I was surprised to learn from this that a lot of symptoms of bipolar can look like ADD/ADHD at times.
For example, Rin is shown to be someone who is easily distracted or fixated on new topics. He also tends to sleep a lot which is confirmed in the manga by the fact that this boy sleeps 12 hours every night. And finally a major factor that clued me in is how easily he is swayed by his emotions which leads him to act impulsively.
Rin’s emotions tie him to his demonic half which in turn can cause a lot of inner turmoil for him. I’m sure anyone with bipolar can relate in feeling like their change to either a manic/hypomanic state can cause them to feel like a demon and out of control. But as is shown in the series, by practicing to focus on his emotions, Rin learns to lessen and control his symptoms.
2. Gangle from The Amazing Digital Circus
I know I know, I’m lowkey pulling for stereotypes here with the tragedy and comedy masks. And on top of that this is a series with only a pilot so we hardly know anything concrete about her character. 😂
Everyone in the digital circus seems to play a role based off of their avatar given to them. As a being with two different masks, Gangle is very sensitive to the way in which she acts when her comedy mask is broken.
She tends to be very anxious and sensitive to the events that unfold around her both physically and mentally (she unravels from a mere bowling ball being thrown her way by Jax).
In some fandom interpretations of her character I’ve seen interesting depictions that also heavily give bipolar vibes like Gangle having an abstracted self tied to her ribbons or forcing on her comedy mask. I love Gangle and this pilot.
3. Captain SpaceBoy from Omori
Oh poor Captain SpaceBoy. He’s so heavily influenced by any mood swings he experiences that he seems to take on an entirely new persona whether it be SpaceBoyfriend, Space-ExBoyfriend, SpaceHusband, or Space-ExHusband.
When you first meet his character, you can clearly see he is depressed as he refuses to leave his bed and throws away any special possessions that remind him of his heart ache. Later on he even goes as far as to isolate himself on top of a snowy mountain when the heartache returns to him again..
He is also easily consumed by a rage which seems similar to a manic/hypomanic state that leads him to fight the main cast of characters. Also when it comes to his special boss battle I find it interesting how you can only defeat him by fighting him in certain states of emotion.
4. Howl Jenkins Pendragon from Howl’s Moving Castle
Howl is undeniably a drama Queen, but some of the ways in which he takes certain actions give me some bipolar vibes.
There is of course the infamous scene in which he throws a tantrum due to Sophie organizing his hair dye potions. He swings very quickly from being irritated and enraged to absolutely inconsolable and depressed. He even spends that next couple hours in bed after this scene.
Howl also tends to lead himself to danger as he appears to be in heightened states of euphoria when he pushes himself to the limit with his magic. He is also rather impulsive when it comes to the relationships he makes with others if we are going off of his book persona.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But above all!! All these characters are shown to be good people who genuinely care about the feelings of others and try to do their best to help even when their own mental health is bringing them down.
Bipolar individuals are more than their disorder; we are all kind people ♥️
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And that’s all! Lemme know what you think :)
Book Howl designs from beginning, middle, and end of the story. My favorite drama queen, problem maker, and complainer. I adore the visual of his stupid sleeves trailing behind him so much. Especially during a couple of the fight scenes. Contemplating putting a bit of lipstick on him since its canon he wears makeup. Side tangent. Was gonna do a doodle of him saying “Welcome to my crib bby” and it’s just his squalor room behind him but couldn’t figure out a pose. I’m either gonna do his character illustration next or work on Sophie’s designs next. Idk yet.
Heres the raven black hair before he dyes it white too.
Not me reading Howl’s Moving Castle in two days. Such a wonderful book. I haven’t read like that in
Oh my god probably a decade. Or at least almost a decade. Not counting the five 3,000 word fics i could read in a night lol
Howl is such a pathetic drama queen and Sophie is such a girlboss. Michael is wonderful. Calcifer is Calcifer. I love them all dearly.
