This puppet is actually in my state. It was found by the lost luggage store, partially restored, and is featured in their lost luggage museum

I stayed up late last night finishing this painting. You can’t really tell from the photograph, but there are subtle shades of violet and blue and pink in the painting and I love it.
Jareth: love me, do as I say, and I WILL be your SLAVE...
Sarah: you have no power over me!

David mentioning ‘Labyrinth’ backstage during an interview at ‘Live Aid’ - 1985
if your favorite version of David Bowie is Jareth, from Labyrinth, you are probably gay now.
the beast was cursed by what he thought was a witch. Who’s to say she wasn’t faerie?
I can’t unsee this similarity
Damn Hoggle goes hard
“But down in the Underground
you’ll find someone true
Down in the Underground ..”
Labyrinth songs aesthetic #1: “Underground” - David Bowie
but mom, i don’t wanna be an adult anymore. i wanna be the goblin king. the glitter?? the drama?? that collar?? those eyebrows?? making it impossible for guests to get to my house by putting it in the middle of an actual labyrinth?? i’m perfect for the job
Sarah Williams from The Labyrinth is autistic. She has trouble speaking without a script to follow, she sees life in very black and white terms, and she has a special interest in fantasy.
I wish they looked this happy through the actual movie at times.
Reblog if you don’t consider the train wreck that is the Labyrinth manga sequel canon.
That’s it, that’s the whole movie
Sarah you’re a dramatic brat and I love you
Characters that Rose fiercely loves (29/50): Sarah Williams from The Labyrinth
“Give me the child. Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great…You have no power over me.”
any one notice that as labyrinth progresses, sarah goes from being called ‘little/young girl’ to 'maiden/young lady’ to 'young woman’
Honestly you right
Four Things that Would Make Labyrinth Fanfic A+ Just by Existing
(four items again just because of reasons!)
1. Worldbuilding By and large, Labyrinth fanfic writers are really good at letting Sarah’s Aboveground world grow as she matures. Often she has gone away to college, or traveled, or has settled in to a career of some kind that isn’t in upstate New York. However, the Underground suffers a lot. In some favorites such as Limbo, Fairest, and of course Tanglewood, we see the boundaries blurred and pushed in the Underground. In a land where anything can happen and nothing is as it seems, it’s a shame writers don’t explore it more. Where does Jareth go if he’s not in his own land? Who are his allies? His enemies? Who, or what, else exists around him…anything? Tell your own origin story, since it’s apparently changing anyway between the sequel manga and the prequel. 2. Jareth is an equal-opportunity lover A magic creature who lords over goblins falls in love with a human girl? He’s already crossing planes of existence and species. I’ve personally always had the feeling that sexuality in the Underground is a lot like the Sims: you can choose and do whatever you like but in the end it’s all just pansexual people yelling at each other and setting houses on fire. That to mean that there’s no question of orientation or preference, everyone is just as they are. 3. Sarah is also an equal-opportunity lover Give me your bi, pan, questioning, whatever Sarahs! Let her explore! There’s no way after having been so enraptured by a creature like Jareth with all the glitter, long hair, and bulge that she didn’t at least have a few wandering thoughts. Did she have a Katy Perry moment? Maybe she’s straight but gets all flustered if she meets anyone with crazy platinum hair. Also…stop it with Sarah always being a virgin but…that’s another topic for another day. 4. Non-Jareth/Sarah adventures with other creatures and friends I am still – STILL – waiting for the 100k epic Sir Didymus origin story. I know someone has it in them somewhere. There’s a smattering of Hoggle-centric or at least POV fic out there and it’s all pretty well entertaining, honestly. But I’d really love to see someone remix a fic “as told by…” Ludo? A goblin sentry? How did the False Alarms earn their place? Who knows! Without the creatures and general setting, Labyrinth would be a much more boring story…and honestly it would be pretty creepy and unnerving. But the charm that wins Sarah over isn’t Jareth, it’s all the people she encounters along the way. The Worm, even the Fireys got an invite to her victory party. Imagine life as the guards in charge of the riddle. Those characters are ultimately what really makes the story so relateable and believable–the unbelievable, fantasy characters. Explore them!
-Sarah says “it’s not fair” and Jareth sighs and says something like “when will you learn”
Shot game when reading Labyrinth (Sareth)fanfics
Take a shot when..
•Sarah says she doesn’t wish anymore/avoids fairy tail stuff
• Sarah Hates/avoids peaches
•Jareth calls Sarah precious
All I’m saying is that The Cat Returns is a cat au of a Labyrinth/Princess Bride crossover fic.
