#Labyrinth; Lydia

[loveleftbehind]

She's been staring at the christmas lights in the local mall for a solid ten minutes.

"... My record is five seconds."

[darklinaforever]

Life is hard when you ship Sareth, Sessrin, Sebaciel and Beetlebabes at the same time...

[arjengelly]

Nah bro…. I ain’t mad at Disney, this was a freaking team effort that messed up my perception of romance lol jk🥲

They each hold a place in my heart

She Knows

One night sky. Four fates.

I move the stars for no one.

Oh, but he did. He did for her.

I leave my love between the stars.

She grinds her teeth. No. Not again. She saw herself by his side many times in her dreams. It was like her mind was trying to tell her something years later. She fights against his pull, she hides from the owl she sees occasionally. But sometimes she lets it follow her. But why? She hates him.

Doesn't she? No. It wasn't his fault. She knows it was her words that sent Toby away and brought the Goblin King into her life. He just did what she asked and blamed him for it. What a selfish fool she was.

She could still feel his strong hand on her back gently pulling her towards him on that dance floor. So gentle yet strong. Power under control. The heartbreaking look he gave her right before she destroyed his dream. Her dreams.

She wasn't ready then but now...

All she wanted was a normal life. But that wasn't her destiny. She'd never stop seeing those eyes. The way he said her name. The way the other men in her life just weren't him.

Deep down she knows the truth. There was only ever really one. Could she really leave it all behind? Or live a less-than-satisfactory life without him?

She closes her eyes.

"I wish..."

The owl appears in the tree.

"Sarah."

You alone can make my song take flight

She sits at her bedroom window unable to sleep as the white snow falls from the dark sky. Her marriage to another is fast approaching yet she feels remorse rather than joy. She is still haunted by his songs. His voice. His kiss. Those eyes beneath that mask. The desire and love and the hidden sorrow. How she wanted to take his pain away.

"I can't." She cries. But what is she referring to? If she leaves there will be a scandal, but if she stays much worse will happen. She wouldn't be marrying for love. Does she truly love her betrothed? She glances over at her red cloak. No, she can't.

"Raoul is a good man." Which was true. A good and noble man. A brave man. But who was she trying to convince? She remembers kissing him after she left her Angel of Music in his sorrow. But it wasn't the same. She wanted to stay with him but he let her go and her heart broke when she gave back the ring.

She knows. She grabs it and runs out the door towards the opera house.

She runs and runs not knowing if he'd even be there but she had nowhere else to go. She stops. Catching her breath under the pillars of the opera house. A shadow within a shadow moves. Watching her. It's him.

"Erik!" She cries.

He runs to her.

Across the pond in another world, the young maiden sees the same night sky that seems to be from another world. A beautiful memory of a balcony and a perfect starry night with a maddening character that visited her in wondrous dreams.

"It was never a dream. It was better."

A vibrant blue butterfly sits at her window sill. She knows the truth. It was all real. He was real.

You could stay

He whispers. He knew she wouldn't but desperately her to. How she wanted to stay. Stay with him. Be free of the rules of her society. He fought for her to remember who she once was. He believed in her when those doubted her. He bravely fought alongside her. He helped her find her much-ness. As he called it.

She was his Alice. She knows it. No man this side of the looking glass could be with her. They would never understand.

She sees the mirror next to her dresser. She knows it's her true destiny. Queen of Wonderland with him. Laughter. Dancing. A family. Her friends. Her sense of belonging in a world of chaotic fantasy and all with him. She stands before her reflection and steps forward.

"I knew you would come back! And just in time for tea!"

She tossed and turned. He couldn't have meant it. It was a trick. She caught the glow of the night sky. It looked just like that night in the church. Rich blues and stars all around them. The world frozen beneath them. Just the two of them. Floating higher and higher as he seemed to pour out his heart to her.

After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one

He can't be serious. It's him. But he sounded so genuine and his eyes were so...

No! He's a trickster. A monster. A devil. He's dead! He's hundreds of years old! He just wanted to use her again. Right?

So why did he let her go? And why didn't she burn the model like she wanted? Why didn't she find a way to completely sever their connection?

She grabbed the vacant pillow next to her and screamed into it. Why him?!

"I hate you!"

"No, you don't." Came the reply.

She knows the truth. She'd known it for years. The someone just out of reach. The one person who truly saw her and accepted her and never left her. He always kept his word. It always went back to him.

"Why did you let me go?"

"You know why." She can feel his smile. "Just say it, Honey. You know the truth."

She knows. She heads for the attic and stands before it. She closes her eyes.

"Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice."

His lips are on hers just as she finishes.

[loveleftbehind]

"You just have to be gentle, even if they bite you."

She held up one of the mewling furballs, directing the little syringe into its mouth and flinching when it dug its little claws into her fingers.. But that was all she did, entirely focused on making sure it ate.

Even with the kitten raking its baby claws down her hand, she remained so gentle with her grip and her movements, eyes trained on it suckling down the formula. There was no denying the fondness in her motions.

"... I like cats." Lydia spoke, voice quiet as to not spook the poor creature. "... They just don't like me very much. But that's okay.. My dad is allergic anyway."

Hm. Despite it being clear knowledge of their relation, she didn't talk about her father much, not wanting to pull more attention to her relation to his power than others already had.

“They absolutely had no mercy on your fingers, man… Ungrateful brats…” While he was a little relieved that the reason the other had bandages all over her fingers wasn’t something terrible, he still didn’t know how to feel about… the screaming, scrunched-up, wrinkly gremlins in the box. He wasn’t a cat person by any means, because he couldn’t for the life of him figure out to interact with them, no matter how hard he tried. He quickly realized that they were just a bunch of furry jerks.

It didn’t mean that he’d rather leave these little fuckers to die, though, no matter how ugly and messy and rude they are. He crouched down beside the other. “…I uh, I dunno how to,” he admitted, quietly, “I-I’d rather watch you feed them. I might end up hurting them if I try.”

A sneak peek at Lydia's Labyrinth... Mwah Darlings!

It's day 2 of the Spooktober VN jam! Here's a quick image drop to show off the look we're going for in Lydia's Labyrinth!

As always, royalty free photos from pixabay are doing the heavy lifting for backgrounds and graphic design. I add a lot of colouring and effects to make it look more vampy.

I've also started the coding in Renpy and Robert is working on the writing, maze design and sound effects. So it's all go and I hope we can get this dangerous labyrinth finished!

Hope your all having a great Spooktober and keep healthy during the jam!

Please I must know what kind of Yuri this is because I am COOKING

[loveleftbehind]

She's got the fan on full blast, the windows open and is sweating like a motherfucker.

"... I hate summer."

[who-canceled-roger-rabbit]

I need a crossover sequel fic (or sequel comic? I dunno) where Bastian Balthazar Bux starts high school and falls under the wing of Sarah Williams and Lydia Deetz, who are a) officially a couple and b) the de facto den mothers of the school's nerdy autistic misfits

[darklinaforever]

Between the Darkling & Alina (Darklina / Alarkling), Daemon & Rhaenyra (Daemyra), Sarah & Jareth (Sareth), Erik & Christine (Erikstine), Beetlejuice & Lydia (Beetlebabes), Sesshomaru & Rin (Sessrin), and now Ellen & Orlok (Ellok)...

I think I'll get used to the ridiculous accusations of liking relationships based on pedophilia and grooming. Especially since these words are systematically used haphazardly and do not correspond to the relationships accused of being so.

The day people learn that using these big words to justify hatred of a fictional ship is ridiculous, useless and without impact, I think I will do the dance of joy. It is ridiculous. It seems like these words have become a magic card to say : "I AM RIGHT ! LOOK I AM USING BIG WORDS WITH A SERIOUS MEANING THAT WILL CUT ANY ARGUMENT !" Well no, because people who have a real functioning brain will see that you are talking bullshit and that you are either just haters or puritans or both at the same time.

Media literacy is really dying a slow death.

[loveleftbehind]

"Okay-"

She rasped between wheezes, fingers tangling deep into her own hair and tugging.

Lydia was slowly coming down, the sting from her scalp grounding her in the present... Even if it wasn't the healthiest way to do so.

.. Definitely not the healthiest way to do so.

"Talk-" It was almost a demand. Focusing on his voice was helping.

"Talk!" She pretty much snapped at him.

“Ly… H-hey, Ly, Lydia, it’s alright. It’s okay,” the mechanic tried to say, in the most comforting tone he could muster while internally panicking. He’s never… seen the other in this state before. He didn’t know how to help. “I-it was… just a nightmare,” he still pushed himself to continue, because he can’t just sit by and do nothing while she was in this much distress. His heart physically hurt at the thought. “I-it’s okay now, Ly. It’s all okay now. You’re… s-safe. You’re safe. It’s okay. Everything’s okay. It’s all okay.”
