Any Labyrinth writers read this? It actually gives a pretty intriguing insight into the labyrinth and how each thing functions. There's a cool comic comic right at the back called the masquerade and it gives an interesting look into how the party is set up and what happened to the people who went missing into the labyrinth if they were adults! Also it gives a small idea on what Jareths true form is in like 2 panels I believe? It's fucking amazing

I keep forgetting that I haven't finished putting pictures of all my prop replica projects onto Tumblr, so I figured I'd share one of my favourite projects to date: Recreating the 13 hour Lantern Clock that appears at the end of Jim Henson's Labyrinth.

This was a build that I was really proud to accomplish because it felt a bit like solving a puzzle, both figuratively and literally. I spent a lot of time trying to find existing items that I could cobble together to get the shapes I wanted. For instance the columns of the clock were made out of a wooden thimble, mini baseball bat, candle stick, a cake decorating column, and some o-rings.

Admittedly I was pretty close to chucking this project in the trash at a few points, mostly because I became convinced that it'd never look good. There's always a point with projects where they just look a little ugly, and it's sometimes very hard to tell if they're ugly because they're unfinished, or ugly because they are in fact ugly. Thankfully this project was in the former category, and it all came together eventually.

Other materials used in this project include foam core, some stick on decorative tiles from the dollar store, half of a fillable Christmas ornament, some EVA foam, and some wooden finials. I ended up getting some custom laser cut fretwork done for the top of the clock, and the details on the clock face were cut from vinyl.

I completed this project right around the time I started beefing up my photography skills, so I did a little photoshoot with this clock using some thrift store curtains and brick work made out of insulation foam. The 'floating' effect in the photo was achieved just by taking the photo at a slight tilt. Simple, but very effective!

Warnings: THEORIES, Not proof read properly

Notes: Whilst there is a comic out explaining how Jareth became King of the Labyrinth, I have decided to post this as I've had these theories wayyyyyyy before the comic was released and I wasn't aware there was one out explaining Jareth's plan till last night. Anywho, I'd love to hear everyone's ideas on this. Hope everyone is well 🖤

THEORY 1:

⛦ He was kidnapped by the last Goblin Monarch (I believe that his parents wished him away).

⛦ Instead of being turned into a goblin, the last monarch passed down their powers to him and that's how he gained the shape shifting abilities. He then grew resentful towards humans because he found out where he came from and what his parents wished for. Jareth then assumed that all humans were selfish because of this, in addition to people entering the Labyrinth to look for things they were too selfish to accept and be grateful about or wishing people away

⛦ However he felt pity for Toby when he was wished away by Sarah and I believe that's why he became rather fond of the baby. He knew what it was like to be wished away for idiotic reasons and therefore felt guilty about not caring for the child. Yes he was going to turn him into a goblin but it would have meant that he would have been part of a "family" that accepted him

THEORY 2:

⛦ Jareth was kidnapped from birth (think of his kidnapping like how Pain and Panic kidnapped Hercules in the Disney film, except instead of Jareth becoming mortal he becomes a Fae).

⛦ The current goblin monarch cared for him and the magic within the labyrinth began to fuse into Jareth or the last monarch's abilities were passed onto Jareth after they died or were defeated.

⛦ Despite him still ruling over the kingdom and trying to keep things in order, Jareth disliked the goblins and still resented them for his kidnapping, however this hatred did ebb away and he realised not all of them were so bad

THEORY 3:

⛦ He was kidnapped at random by the goblins. He may have had some sort of attractive quality that intrigued the goblins (or something of the sort) and that may have been why he was chosen - or as mentioned he may have been chosen at random

⛦ The goblins need someone to keep watch and lead their kingdom, ordered needed to be restored

⛦ The goblins raised Jareth as a collective - there may have perhaps been a small group who mainly watched over him in more of a familial manner

⛦ Eventually Jareth was pushed into monarchy and he was clueless. The goblins had a few pin points for him, but other than that he had to figure it out all for himself

like thank god that out of all the ppl they went for they got a director that's as batshit crazy as the world of Labyrinth itself (in the best way possible of course lol)
