Jareth & Sarah

“But down in the Underground

               you’ll find someone true

Down in the Underground ..”

Labyrinth Themes: Goblin Queen 5/?

So, there’s this dude in the masquerade scene that stands out a little more than the rest.

Without his usual tricorn hat, you’re able to see blond back-brushed hair for this small segment of the scene.

And the silken sashes falling by the sides of his face mimic Jareth’s hair rather cleverly.

Notice he’s sandwiched between these two ladies. Sarah turns around and in just a few seconds this guy has changed to:

You guessed it.

Not to mention this nameless guy seems very interested in Sarah.

And then when the camera starts panning, you can see him stalking behind the rest of the dancers, never breaking eye contact.

Which is rather strange, but then there’s this little detail:

*bird head tilt*

*bird head tilt*

I wonder… It makes me think a lot of Terry Jones’ thoughts on some previous scripts, of how Jareth could project himself through the labyrinth whilst always staying in his castle. Who’s to say he can’t make more than one of himself?

I personally loved @monarobot​‘s idea that the Jareth we see dancing with Sarah is a false one, and the masked man is the real one who gets a little too wrapped up in the fantasy and can’t keep his eyes off Sarah.

Also bonus of Jareth looking adorably heartbroken.

BUT WHAT’S THIS?

OH IT’S YOU AGAIN.

If you watch that part where Sarah runs away, masked man stands just as shocked and still as Jareth, watching her go. But then as Jareth disappears into the crowd, masked man is one of the first to make a grab for her.

Altogether very interesting.

The real Sarah only broke out of the dream when she saw Jareth’s double and her own double lean in to kiss. 

Some manips for a future Sarah/Jareth video. They need some tweaking, but this is good enough for my tumblr.

Sarah: I’m* the Goblin Queen, bitches - you go wave your fans somewhere else.
