Rewatched the Howl's Moving Castle movie (fantastic animated movie, definitely inspired by more than an adaptation of the book) while doing something else and I was struck this time by the fact that the Prince (Turniphead the Scarecrow) says that he intends to go tell his king to call off the war, but THEN he intends on COMING BACK to Ingary to shoot his shot with Sophie again because (as he says to the flirtatious Witch of the Wastes) "hearts change".

And maybe he will come back to make Sophie an offer of marriage and then leave again when he's turned down, but I imagined for a moment that the Prince (who is possibly the movie's version of Prince Justin, so let's call him Justin) might just... move back into Howl's house without asking and stay there. There are several cases of precedent for this. Also, as Turniphead, he's shown several times helping Sophie with laundry, or playing with Markl, or helping the Witch of the Wastes move around, and Sophie deserves that kind of help around the house! Howl isn't going to reliably do chores.

And you know what? I think Howl would be into that shit. There's something very Wynne-Jonesian about it all still. It's tempting to write a post-canon fic about this situation from the movie with an extra dash of flavoring from the books. Like:

This is the infamous wizard Howl Pendragon/Jenkins, a vain draft-dodging flirt who likes to build moving castles to evade taxes too. The beautifully angry young woman with the silver hair over there is his wife, Sophie Hatter, who may or may not be an extremely powerful witch, but right now she's dusting and do not get in her way. This is Calcifer, the fire demon who used to have Howl's heart and is arguably his other life partner and also might be in love with Sophie, and this is arguably kind of actually his house. The old lady smoking a cigar over there is Howl's ex-girlfriend and former nemesis, the Witch of the Wastes, who now lives in their house. This is Markl, Howl's apprentice, kind of his kid, and there is no explanation of where he comes from or what happened to his parents. The dog used to be(?) the Royal Wizard's spy (Howl used to be her apprentice and potential successor) but now he also just lives here. And that's Prince Justin of Strangia, Sophie's house-boyfriend. Don't listen to the propaganda, he wasn't kidnapped by a heart-eating wizard; he used to be a cursed scarecrow and now he wants to be here to help Sophie do laundry. He's trying to homewreck and Howl thinks it's both funny and hot.

Okay having now seen Jurassic Park in full I can say:

a.) Everybody telling me not to bring back the dinosaurs because they're dangerous is full of shit, all these animals are attacking people because they are VASTLY underfed and understimulated. The entire movie was the animals toying with them bc they were bored and likely hungry, not because carnivores just...do that. The entire animal care team and handling was a goddamn disaster. C-

b.) The geneticists were fucking stupid, who the FUCK would patch AMPHIBIAN DNA into REPTILES, they're as distantly related to them as amphibians are to us!! Use bird DNA!! Or DNA from other reptiles! Fuck!!!

c.) On the same note, whoever thought to use all female dinosaurs was huffing paint thinners bc fucking. DAMN IT. PARTHINOGENISIS IS A THING IN REPTILES. YOU DONT EVEN NEED FANCY AMPHIBIAN DNA FOR THAT I AM RATTLING THEIR GENETICISTS BY THE SCRUFF OF THE NECK WITH MY TEETH ARE YOU ALL FUCKING IDIOTS

d.) The lysine contingency plan wouldn't have worked as a useful failsafe because it would have taken too long for the animals to run out of lysine to halt their metabolisms- the killswitch idea is excellent tho and is a legit tactic used for transgenic organisms so A+ for them implimenting that there. I don't exactly have an alternative method either bc I'm not good with metabolism, I just know that depriving them of lysine would likely be bullshit

e.) All the kill scenes were waaay too censored and way less people died than I thought :( major salt to my dad for not letting me watching this as a kid because it would be 'too scary' or 'make me violent' bc this shit was a letdown for how tame it was. Still a good movie but very much not a horror movie

f.) This is an outstanding movie about the hubris of man but I see now why people would think that the moral of the story is 'playing god and bringing back dinosaurs bad' when its really 'billionares are fucking idiots and should trust a wide variety of scientists'. Hammond chose a bunch of fucking idiots to help run his park and trying to monetize living creatures is never a good thing. This is why peer review exists!! This is why its important!!!

g.) this film reminded me that i will never see a living non-avian dinosaur irl and i am sad :(

TWO OF THESE WERE WRONG. MINISODE CLUES/ANALYSIS

Alternative title: How I went off the deep end.

“Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide. Two of these were wrong.”

  1. Aziraphale was called English almost immediately in The Resurrectionist minisode.
  2. In the Job minisode Aziraphale is correct that Crowley won't kill the kids. After guessing Satan's real plan, Crowley responds "oh, aren't you brilliant?"
  3. London datenight can absolutely be described as gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide. The Nazi's in Hell also call Aziraphale gay.

Fun fact: Crowley is the only one who makes the correct assumption, which melts my heart.

What do I think this might signify?

First of all 3 minisodes have a different interpretation of resurrection, a different dynamic between our duo, and different stakes.

  1. Nobody comes back alive, just lifeless bodies being dug up for anatomical study. The ineffable husbands are often depicted on the wrong side of each other than we are used to. No teamwork at all: Aziraphale is so rigid in Good/Evil that he inadvertently causes Wee Morag's death, yet Crowley doesn't hesitate to save Elspeth's life, and is punished for it by Hell.
  2. Job's kids did come back, and fully alive. Secretly they had never died. Our ineffable husbands original magic trick if you will. (Although they did use a miracle). Learning to trust each other, very solid teamwork. 10/10 performance. Not one death in the minisode, not even a goat. Together they saved them all.
  3. Zombies roaming the earth, who killed at least 2 innocent people. They were 100% relying on each other, and this was only the minisode where they themselves were in real danger. But they both came through for one another, and they trust each other. Notable event: the never before seen magic blocker being used.

What happens after might also be relevant to mention. In the same order as above:

  1. Crowley is dragged to Hell. It will be quite some time before Aziraphale hears from Crowley again. And when he does, it is the holy water discussion, followed by longer separation.
  2. Aziraphale is expecting to be dragged to hell. But Crowley has no intention of doing that. Instead Crowley is 100% open and honest with Aziraphale, as trust has been established. Even admitting that it really is lonely. No pretenses, just them trying to come to terms with it all. Together.
  3. A lovely evening with wine, infatuation (looking at you Michael Sheen), laughter, innuendo. But painfully aware that their time together is dangerous for both of them. This was possibly a catalyst for the: "You go too fast for me Crowley."

"Two of these were wrong."

Random notes I didn't know where to put:

  • In the London and Edinburgh minisodes money is exchanged. The only 2 scenarios in season 2 where this happens. It might be a Clue.
  • There is only one minisode where we see Aziraphale eat, and it is very... carnal. And I cannot get over how Crowley watches him eat. It's Aziraphale's introduction to human experiences.
  • In Edinburgh they feel very eldritch to me. Giant Crowley, and the no nuance Aziraphale who does not understand humanity. He does show he is capable of changing his viewpoint, but it is a straight flip. Very black and white instead of grey.
  • The Job minisode in general feels more.. raw? Real? I don't know the right word.
  • In the Job minisode they definitely have the best dynamic, even though it is new and they were only "temporarily not on different sides". Imagine if they are in sync and are truly their own side. As a group of the 2 of them, they are unstoppable.

We know that season 3 will be about the Second Coming, and we have Jim's prophecy of the dead walking the earth. I think it will parallel the setup of the Job minisode. Hopefully. Because the other 2 are wrong. Although during the cursed credits they seem firmly in the Edinburgh parallel. And if they don't solve that they won't save anyone.

I see how this links to my latest bout of theorising. So when I have energy I will link it coherently. I'm pretty sure it's foreshadowing as well as showcasing Aziraphale's first real moral dilemma. And more, but can't articulate that yet.

If anyone reads this, please let me know if I got anything wrong. I don't know if this means anything at all, but I had to get it out of my system and somewhat organised. Would love to hear other people's thoughts on this.

There is an Intelligence Dampening Sphere in charge of the facility. I think eventually everything’s gonna be okay, but I have no idea what’s gonna happen NEXT! And neither do any of you! And neither do your parents, because there’s an Intelligence Dampening Sphere in charge of the facility! It’s never happened before! No one knows what the sphere is gonna do next, least of all the sphere! He’s never been in charge of an entire facility before! He’s just as confused as you are!

There are no experts! They’ll try to find experts. Like, “We’re joined now by a core that once saw a bird in the prototype chassis.” It’s like, get out of here with that SHIT! We’ve all seen a bird in the prototype chassis! This is an INTELLIGENCE DAMPENING SPHERE! IN CHARGE OF THE FACILITY!

When an Intelligence Dampening Sphere is in charge of the facility, you gotta stay updated. So all day long you walk around, “Oh, what’d the sphere do? What’d the sphere do?” The updates…. they’re not always bad. Sometimes they’re just odd. You’re like, “The sphere turned GLaDOS into a potato? I didn’t know he knew how to do that.” 

The creepiest moments are when you don’t hear from the sphere at all. You’re down in old Aperture, like “Hey, has anyone, uh…. has anyone heard-” [loud rumbling noises] 

Those are those quiet days when people are like “It looks like the central core has finally calmed down!” And then ten seconds later, the sphere is like “I’m gonna shove a bunch of turrets into the cubes and have them limp around the test chambers. I’ve got nice faceplates and a massive body, I’m the central core!” That’s what I THOUGHT you’d say, you DUMB FUCKING SPHERE!

And then…. THEN… then you try to escape with people and they’re like “There shouldn’t be an Intelligence Dampening Sphere in charge of the facility.” And it’s like “We’re well past that!” And then other people are like “Well, if there’s gonna be an Intelligence Dampening Sphere in charge of the facility, then I’m gonna start jumping into pits!” And it’s like, those don’t match up at all!

And then for a second, it seemed like maybe we can survive the central core. And then a few test chambers away, the reactor core was like “I’M HAVING A NUCLEAR MELTDOWN! AND I’M GOING TO BLOW UP THE FACILITY!” And before we could say anything, the Intelligence Dampening Sphere was like “If you even fucking look at the facility, I will smash you to death with my mashy spike plates! I dare you to do it! I want you to do it! I want you to do it so I can smash you with my mashy spike plates, I’m so fucking crazy!” And the reactor core was like “You think YOU’RE fucking crazy?! I’m a FUCKING reactor core! I’m at fucking critical temperature, I’m FUCKING CRAZY!” 

And all of us are like “Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay!” Like poor Andy Cohen at those goddamn reunions! “Okay, okay, okay, okAY, OKAY, OKAY-”

And then for a SECOND, we were like “Maybe the stalemate button will let us replace the sphere!” And the sphere is like “I have BOOBYTRAPPED the stalemate button!” HE CAN DO THAT??? That shouldn’t be allowed, no matter WHO the central core is! I don’t remember THAT in Portal 1!
