im sure they actually came up with really clever spells but it would be hilarious if howl and suliman just outsourced first aid kits from our world. like all the orders they got from the king to equip their soldiers with healing spells they were just like ‘cool give us a few days’ and went and bought bulk orders of stuff from a pharmacy in wales
honestly this is what I always assumed they did. if I remember correctly the descriptions sound like DWJ trying to describe mundane things from our world in a new context, and honestly Howl at least is a lazy bastard who would DEFINITELY go to a pharmacy in wales and claim it’s Dramatic New Magic
it’s even better to imagine that he did not consult wizard suliman on this, so ben ends up just standing there long-suffering trying to hold back a laugh while howl unveils the marvel that is the Not-A-First-Aid-Kit, such genius, much vision
“Go to bed, you fool,” Calcifer said sleepily. “You’re drunk.” “Who, me?” said Howl. “I assure you, my friends, I am cone sold stober.” He got up and stalked upstairs, feeling for the wall as if he thought it might escape him unless he kept in touch with it. His bedroom door did escape him.
Finally got around to completing Howltober Day 3: Favourite HMC quote
“’Go to bed, you fool,’ Calcifer said sleepily. ‘You’re drunk.’ ‘Who, me?’ said Howl. ‘I assure you, my friends, I am cone sold stober.’ He got up and stalked upstairs, feeling for the wall as if he thought it might escape him unless he kept in touch with it.”
when your wife says she wants flowers you go get her those flowers even if it means moving your castle closer to the Waste and fulfilling more of a curse that has been placed upon you all while terrifying your boy apprentice
In which Howl touches you for the very first time (Howl’s Moving Castle - NSFW)
“…Am I to call you ‘Howl’ or ‘Howell’ in bed?”
“You may call me anything you like, as long as it’s not ‘ugly,’ because we do not lie in this castle.”
I beg to differ, you thought to say, before realizing that, for all his slithering-outing, Howl never did lie to you. He was just notoriously hard to pin down, until he had done it to himself by proposing marriage.
“Do you think anyone will hear us?” You ask, suddenly worried about things you never had cause to worry about before.
“Really Sophie, do you take your man as one who does not know his business well enough to be able to conjure up something as simple as a soundproofing spell? Just know, however, that I am not liable for any embarrassment suffered on your part if you mark my delicate skin with your lips or nails. Trophies were made to be displayed, after all.”
You blushed even harder at that, wondering at the miracle that your cheeks could grow any hotter. “Hmph! And here I thought there was a limit to your shamelessness.“
“Love knows no shame, Sophie dearest,” Howl counters. “But just in case, shall I show you just how shameless I can be?”
This fic absolutely had to be written y'all, so please suspend your disbelief for one hot minute and pretend that your name is Sophie in this Howl Pendragon x Reader NSFW fic
