#Sareth

Wait, so hold on. 

So it’s okay to ship these two?!

But not them?!

Didn’t Jareth kidnapped Sarah’s baby brother? (She did wanted him gone but we all know that she didn’t mean literally.)

The Doctor is literally a grandfather by the way.

Granted, I’m not trying to change your mind about the ship, if you don’t ship it, then it’s fine (I wasn’t crazy about them either until Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) but you thinking they’re “gross” or “disgusting age gap” don’t you think it’s hypocritical?

Robert Eggers is really going to make a sequel to Labyrinth ?! For real ?! You know the kind of childhood movie that introduced most of us to the world of villainous crushes / villains & heroines ?! Oh, holy fucking shit...

Well... With that he remains in the metaphor of the male character / villain who embodies the desires (particularly sexual) of the heroine.

"And you, Sarah...how are you enjoying my labyrinth?"

[yourladyem]

Stay

Jareth to Sarah: Stay and be my Queen and I'll make your dreams come true.

Erik to Christine: Stay and I'll make your voice heard and adored forever.

Hatter to Alice: Stay and I'll make your life full of wonder and laughter.

Beetlejuice to Lydia: Stay and I'll never let you feel lonely and unappreciated again.

Just stay and love me because I will never stop loving you.

People are trying to drag The Labyrinth on twitter. That movie and Sareth shippers have existed for nearly 40 years. Your pearl clutching ain't gonna get us to give up this ship 🫠

🦉 👑 these two waltzed right back into my brain for the fall season

[diaryofanobsessivefangirl]

My headcannon for Sareth is that Jareth has watched Sarah since she was 11 like a dark guardian angel and when she reaches adolescence, caring turns into love.

Her actress mother has an affair with another actor and their parents divorce. During that period, Sarah receives The Labyrinth book as a gift from a relative.

Jareth knows whenever a mortal speaks his name or title 'Goblin King' and sometimes ventures into the mortal world to observe them out of curiosity and boredom. Things might even develop into someone foolishly giving away their children - at least that would be interesting.

So when little Sarah role-plays the story for the first time, Jareth comes as owl to her bedroom window. At first he doesn't think much of her. She is not the first child to summon him, and he wonders would she make a fine goblin like others did.

The Goblin King watches long enough to see Sarah's family has been recently broken, and the mother she has idolized is out of the picture. The child seems to be coping with this sudden reality by escaping to her fantasies.

Shame, Jareth thinks, but such are mortal lives - subject to time, change and lost. He is flattered by the way the child speaks his name with such reverence, awe and fear though, so he decides to visit again, if the opportunity arrises.

The next visit is followed by the third, the fourth, and before he knows it becomes a regular occurrence. He is entertained by Sarah's vivid imagination, like Peter Pan was by Wendy's. Sometimes he sees her in the park gathering mushrooms for a fairy circle, sometimes she is at school (not completely lonely, but not popular among her peers either), but most times she is at home.

Once it was Christmas and her mother did not called. The owl watched the girl crying under the covers of her bed.

When her father found another mistress and wished for them to meet, a fight issued at the dinner table. She ran to her room and slammed the door behind her.

One nasty lad at school stole her notebook and ridiculed her drawings - castles, dragons, dwarves, and one particularly dark figure wearing a crown and an evil smile. Is that your boyfriend Sarah?, the boy mocked.

(Jareth watched motionlessly from a nearby tree. It was only at night that he also payed the boy a little visit. Something to awake his... imagination. The next day the lad had black spots below his eyes and shrieked when he saw Sarah. He moved to another school the next year)

Sometimes Sarah would fall asleep praying for someone who understood her to come, to take her away, far away from there. Jareth would then step into her bedroom and stand above the resting child. Gently he would lean forward and touch her forehead with his thumb, a warm pink light flowing out of his hand. Sarah would wake the next day feeling renewed after many pleasant dreams.

Take her away? Maybe. He has taken numerous children to increase his court, some from better backgrounds than hers, some less cooperative. All of them now without any recollection of who they once were, their parents (good or bad), nothing to make them sorrow or regret.

But turning Sarah into one of his dimwit goblins didn't sit quite right with him. If he had to imagine Sarah as anything under his domain, it wouldn't be as a goblin.

No, he decided, Sarah was a fairy. At first sight a delicate creature flying carefree - but like any small creature, ready to bite.

Sarah could be quite the brat when she stood up to her father, her teacher or a bully. Her bad behavior made him chuckle, as it looked so similar to his own. But below the immediate impression of a spoiled pre-teen running away from reality, Jareth saw a girl trying to remain hopeful and brave despite the turmoils of her young life.

So he remained close, finally having something to awake his curiosity and even sympathy after many centuries. He was there when she got a part at the school play, when she so seriously rehearsed her lines over and over again, trying hard to live by her mother's footsteeps. He was in the audience disguised as a mortal man the night of the presentation.

He was there when Sarah heard the news of her mother's car crash. And he was also there when her father announced he was engaged to his new mistress a couple of months latter.

Every sareth girl needs a beetlebabes girl

[lupinedreaming]

I’ve long thought that this quote from Erik in the POTO novel: “If you loved me, I'd be gentle as a lamb and you could do whatever you pleased with me” and this quote from Jareth in Labyrinth: “Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave” have extremely similar vibes.

Unfortunately, I’m too tired to do a deeper analysis of this comparison, but I still thought it was an interesting parallel and wanted to share.

[darklinaforever]

How do you have a fucked up opinion in every fandom? It's almost a talent.

I'm a multitasker !

[ic-napology]

Have I already shared this? Not so sure

wip folder game :]

Sorry everyone, I messed this up the first time so you're all getting pinged again because it looks fun and I want to do it right lmao. That includes you @geck-motj, in case you wanted to ask about mine :)

Rules: name all the titles of your wips, no matter how random, people can ask about them, and tag the same amount of people as wips you've listed

Two things. 1. I'm going to use vague descriptors for most of these because my wip names are mostly numbers. 2. I have over 180 stories in various stages of completion. No chance in hell am I listing everything. I'm cherry picking. All but one of these are Tomarry.
