Quote reblogged from Go Ask An Invisible DragonOh! Polly thought. Why aren’t all girls locked up by law the year they turn fifteen? They do such stupid things!Fire and Hemlock ~ Diana Wynne Jones (via theinvisibledragon)
An astute question, Polly.

I HAVE REAL THINGS I NEED TO BE DOING GODDAMMIT.
Anyway, this is for Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones and I’m absurdly proud of this one. If you haven’t read this book, I have no idea why the hell not, they just came out with new covers and everything so go read them.
“To love someone enough to let them go, you had to let them go forever, or you did not love them that much.”
How much do I love Fire & Hemlock? This quote is why.

‘Well, he’s fickle, careless, selfish, and hysterical,’ she said. ‘Half the time I think he doesn’t care what happens to anyone as long as he’s all right—but then I find out how awfully kind he’s been to someone. Then I think he’s kind just when it suits him—only then I find out he undercharges poor people. I don’t know, Your Majesty. He’s a mess.’
Sophie Hatter’s assessment of Howl to the King of Ingary.

Quote reblogged from Don't think I won't shoot you, dwarfIt is usually my deliberate policy NOT to give the ages of characters in my books. It is so humiliating if you are a mature 11-year-old and you find that the person you have been eagerly identifying with is only nine. But I try to make sure that the age can be deduced by those determined to know.Diana Wynne Jones (via cantibea—-dragon)

Getting into Mrs. Fairfax’s conversation was rather like getting into a skipping rope. You had to choose the right moment. But once you were in, you were in.Howl’s Moving Castle, by Diana Wynne Jones

Coloring the Howl and Sophie sketch!
Using the last of my spring break to have some fun with my trusty ol’ markers! I’ve neglected them for so long that I barely remember the colors and numbers;;; Really, nothing beats the feel of traditional media and the stinging smell of ethanol ink ( ꒪﹃ ꒪)
Gorgeous Howl +Sophie fanart. #dwj2012

I wanted to draw something completely stress free to try and relax, but I couldn’t think of what
Then I remembered Softowl’s post about how there isn’t enough Diana Wynne Jones fanart and I remembered how much I love those books
So here’s Kit from the Derkholm series.
I adore Dark Lord of Derkholm. Run out and buy it if you haven’t had the pleasure of reading it. #dwj2012

I’ve had this quote taped up to my computer for several years now — Gili Bar-Hillel:
You don’t like fairy stories. Have you read them?” Said Mr. Lynn. Polly was forced to shake her head. “Please read them,” said Mr. Lynn. “Only thin, weak thinkers despise fairy stories. Each one has a true, strange fact hidden in it, you know, which you can find if you look.”
