Here's the thing about Jareth from Labyrinth right?
He's made up.
That's not necessarily the same thing as not REAL. But he, just like all her friends who show up in her room before her adventure as toys and figurines, exist in relation to her, in response to what she wanted and needed. She told the story and there he was, there he always had been. But she's a teenage girl who doesn't know what she wants yet, and Jareth kind of pays the price.
"but the king of the goblins had fallen in love with the girl, and had given her certain powers." He's an archetypal oxymoron. He's both the dastardly baby stealing villain and the royal love interest trying to relieve the heroine's suffering, Cinderella style. He's fucked either way by being both. She doesn't know if SHE wants to be the villain or the heroine until he shows up and then she decides on the heroine, so he has to sneer and menace and challenge but it's too late for him!! it's too late, The King Of The Goblins Had Fallen In Love With the Girl, he's Cinderella's prince too and he has to try, he gives her a poofy dress and takes her to fucking goblin prom, sweeps her around the room like a music box with perfect posture and room for Jesus.
But it doesn't work buddy, it can't work. You're just a story for a teen girl to grow up in, and as the villain you have to be defeated. He's so complex because his tropes contradict themselves, and he doesn't understand why he has to lose when he was only doing the job he was given. In his last scene he is pale as death with shadows under his eyes, backing away and begging for his happy ending with nonsense mishmash promises that belong to both halves of him.
"I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me." I'm sure you are, Jareth. No wonder.
My commissions are officially open !!!
I’m opening a queue of 5 slots to start out with, as it has been a while since I’ve done these. (Note; I will not be starting sketches until my shop opens up. Which will be in the next week or so.)
Feel free to dm me on any of my socials if you’re interested!!
(Screen reader friendly version available upon request, tumblr won’t let me link it ://)
"The gods' chosen" "the gods' champion" no that's the god's little wind up toy. The gods' chew toy. The gods' favorite barbie doll
But, like, realistically.
Also! Please reblog for varied responses!
Happy 18th anniversary to my favorite video game! It first came out on March 20th, 2006. This game is legally an adult now.
Dinner at Castle Ravenloft
I've been thinking about Rudolph van Richten attending the dinner at Castle Ravenloft. He'd be in disguise, hiding behind his fake name and accompanying some group of heroes into the dragon's den.
His companions don't know who he is yet, simply that a traveling bard named Rictavio lost his son to the vampire lord of Barovia, and that he'll help them where he can. Anything to avenge his son.
The dinner seems to be going smoothly, with the Devil making conversation with the newcomers, surrounded by his consorts. But one of the heroes notices that their bard companion is far less chatty than usual, and won't stop staring at one of the consorts.
Said consort is a young blond man, his exposed shoulders a tapestry of old scars from battles, all but one survived. If it even was a battle. He is at ease here, leaning against the Devil as he would a lover, enjoying the attention of his companion and the visitors. His eyes are clouded by death, and hidden behind thick red lenses, but are still the same familiar shade of blue.
Its not the staring that Escher notices first, but a familiar smell that reminds him of home, coming from one of the visitors. He tries to shrug it off, to enjoy the night, but as the staring grows ever more obvious, that bard begins to remind him of someone.

Missing my short hair, so the picrew gets it (:
I’d tag more people from the Misthoppers but idk who there is down for being tagged, so anyone who is interested can consider themselves tagged (:
bringing back tag games with @ysds ! Make a picrew of your doppelganger who looks slightly off model and post it along with the last song you listened to
im just gonna recommend Sneaky Devil by The Garden cus I've been listening to them a lot lately and I like how it matchy
tagging: @solowinged @kainoliero @rgb-hex @000png @kippie-puu @somatiq @dead-alias @whatimi @sermna and anyone else who feels like it, pretend I tagged you, I was probably just too shy to anyway
@pulim-v thanks for the help and @oh-cramity-its-amity thanks for the idea! Also cramity do you want me to make a separate poll for the a wild prev appeared cause that’s just what I was gonna do but I can do it different
A trans man coming out as a man is never a loss.
I don’t care if he went into a male-dominated field. All fields are cis dominated.
I don’t care if he’s a straight man now. He should be allowed to be himself and happy. He does not owe it to you to be a miserable lesbian for your comfort.
I don’t care if you thought he was hotter before. His happiness is worth the price of your desire. Also you’re wrong and I’m giving him my number.
More trans men is a good thing. More trans men means more closeted trans men are feeling safe to come out. That’s a good thing.

Are you alright, honey? You've barely put your blorbo in situations
i love characters with prominent noses. the only reason i’ve ever given a character a small nose is to fulfill a diversity quota
