Sophie is so alone she starts to talk to things and later she channels her true self which has chronic unable to shut up disease so she just spouts out magic CONSTANTLY and induces everything around her with it.
There is a town full of people walking around with life altering magical hats. The chaos this could cause is immeasurable but nobody even knows. skdlakga
She picks a random stick from the site of the road and after half a day this thing becomes so powerful she is able to stop Howls Castle (which is powered by Calcifer canonically a powerful entity) in it’s tracks by just saying stop. skflag
I mean can you imagine being calcifer just going about his day and suddenly a great force stops you and you are like wtf are we under attack?? is it the witch? or whoever howl is ghosting at that moment?? and in walks a not quite grandma who releases magic with every sentence like it’s nothing wtf.
And if you take into account that a good whitch/magician is most likely abel to see/feel sophies magic (Afterall the witch of the waste awas able to notice the spell -or lack there off- in every hat in the hat shop.) Can you imagine how Howl must have felt living with Sophie? Everytime she opens her mouth -and like mentioned before, Sophie has a lot to say about many things- it must have felt like someone was throwing daggers around constantly EVERYWHERE. skdgfh
(And Howl is like yeah thats the girl of my dreams.)
I love this book so much. It brings me so much joy. (I’m not even at chapter 4)

‘She also talks about the “Ma culture” of Derry, the very strong and funny women bred by the Troubles. “There’s a real sense of generosity in Derry, because people don’t have a lot – but they remember when we had nothing, and so they’re willing to help each other.” The scene where Erin’s ma washes all the girls’ uniforms while they stand about in their knickers is, she says, bang on.’
