Oh, Whimsical Me

#this line out of context seems like an excerpt from the kinkiest fic your ever had the privilege of stumbling across #this like IN context also sounds like that #I’m sorry this is straight up the most sexually complex proposal ever heard in a so-called kids film #IN ANY FILM#i could write essays on the consent dynamics that this implies and the delicious world of possibilities it implies #for a grown up Sarah should she decide to revisit later on her own terms #(which is the only way Jareth would have it any way - hence the emphasis on her needed to choose) #(over and over and over) #left or right up or down stay or go take the crystal forget the baby look what I’m offering you #but none of it means a thing unless she chooses it #he’ll rig the game as far as he dares but when the message comes that the girl is at the gate on her way to get Toby #he’s genuinely scared - call out the guard! take the baby and hide it! - because he knows she is a danger #he’s an all powerful probably immortal wizard and king - but he knows that her choice is the pin that can undo him #KIDS MOVIE(harrietvane)

We the generation who grew up on this movie turned out to be an interesting bunch of people, let’s put it that way.
