#labyrinth remake

[queerpinksomething]

chappell roan is the only fucking acceptable casting for the goblin king in that robert eggers labyrinth remake and i’m sick of hearing anyone else out

Jim Henson's Labyrinth Bestiary - A Definitive Guide To The Creatures of The Goblin King's Realm - Written by S.T. Bende and Illustrated by Iris Compiet This book was gifted to me last year for my birthday by a dear friend who shares a love for Labyrinth (we got to see it last year in theaters together, amazing experience!) and before I ever opened the book I was overjoyed that something like this existed! I flipped through pages, drooling over the amazing illustrations and enjoying the breakdowns of all the beloved characters I've known since I was a child...that is, until I reached the back of the book. The final part of the book introduces us to new creatures that exist in this fantasy world but weren't featured in the movie. There was one character that caught my eye immediately, not only for his dark design but his story and how it expands on Jareth's and how he became Goblin King. Before the Goblin King...there was the Owl King!

I plan to make a post with a breakdown of the Owl King's character, including what the book tells us...and why if the rumors are true and Robert Eggers is taking on the reboot of this wonderful world, why I think the movie should be a prequel, focusing on the Owl King versus any kind of remake of the original 1986 movie. More to come but I would love to hear your thoughts!!

I don’t hate the idea of a Labyrinth remake. I just really wanted a Labyrinth sequel for so long. And now I have the worst of both possibilities with David Bowie gone.

You’re next, Neverending Story. 😑

[willowcrowned]

it's crazy to me that they just cast taylor swift as the goblin king in the new labyrinth remake when multiple major media outlets have compared chappell roan to david bowie and she's even publicly said she'd love to be a part of the movie anyways I'm lying but aren't you glad we don't live in that world? peace and love

[moonlitdark]

Like a sexy Goblin (sprite) King, he says.....

[ziggyrette]

tbh I'm not expecting much for the labyrinth sequel…

[2-d-rogue]

Their home.

[mr-krinkle]

i’ve been hearing talk about a labyrinth remake/sequel and i am against it (amongst other reasons) on the principle that no one could replace bowie.

having said that, imagining ghost/tobias forge covering the soundtrack…

he would devour i fear.

he also already wears sparkly fantastical outfits and makes 80’s inspired rock music…

[quietwingsinthesky]

FUCK IF THEY MADE A SEQUEL TO LABYRINTH TODAY IT’D PLAY OUT EXACTLY LIKE THOSE TIMES BURTON ALICE IN WONDERLAND MOVIES. THEY’RE GONNA GIRLBOSS SARAH STOP THEM

[persephinae]

what???

y.. you can't though? That movie was made specifically with David Bowie in mind. Like...there are some things you CAN'T remake ok

sometimes they are locked to a time period to a specific person(s) and they are cultural classics or a masterpiece for a reason.

i'm tired

The Labyrinth in Silent Hill 2 (2024)

[justalittlerandomartist]

muppets labyrinth remake but it’s literally just the exact same movie. Nothing changed.

[eveningscoolandquiet]

The more I think about it the more I feel that Nosferatu (2024) reminds me more of Labyrinth (1986) than it does other vampire or gothic horror films (excluding the original Dracula novel of course). Ellen and Orlok are so Sarah and Jareth coded. The stories are so thematically similar just very different in genre and tone because of their intended audiences.

【Magi】 JuAli AU: Judar and Alibaba bicker and kiss 🖤❤️💛🐈‍⬛☀️

Summary:

JuAli AU: Judar and Alibaba bicker and kiss and banter 🖤❤️💛🐈‍⬛☀️🌙🌒

JuAli Rambles

Fave Sen-core Ship Tropes 💗

I originally wrote this scenario back in June 2023, but revamped it around May 2024. I added to it a bit again.

I put my dialogue scripts and rambles under the cut as usual ✌️

Dialogue Scripts

(CW: R-15, slightly suggestive)

Intro (8/09/2024)

(CW: R-15, suggestive)

(EDITED: 8/09/2024)

I also added rambles to this in the meantime <3

Had a jumpscare moment cuz I accidentally clicked the Delete button but thankfully didn't click "Yes" 😭

God I can't delete one of the most based things I've ever written!!!

I first made this set of dialogue scripts while rereading JuAli's scenes together in the Kou Empire arc.

It's really so funny how empty Judar's threats and insults towards Alibaba are.

Sure, he tried to kill him before.

He'll get all hissy like a fussy moody cat towards him. But it's not out of genuine hatred.

JuAli are the true opposites in terms of their personalities, morals/ideals/world views... 🖤❤️💛

I remember that one of the first reasons why I was so drawn to this ship was because, when I first read JuAli's interactions together on the Dark Continent, I thought it was so sexy how Judar expressed his frustrations with Alibaba.

I love charas who challenge/oppose the protag, and I love how Alibaba is so challenged as a protag... 💛

That's why I love Judar and Hakuryuu's dynamics with Alibaba and find them so interesting ☺️

Judar perceives Alibaba's inaction and hesitance to cut down anyone for the sake of one's goals as naivety.

From Judar's POV, he can't stand (what he perceives as) Alibaba's hypocrisy.

Like, Judar is clearly frustrated by Alibaba's whole deal. He just can't seem to understand him and why others are drawn to him at first

(Despite the fact that Alibaba is just... really forthright/straightforward as a person)

Especially when he has such a childish personality, and black and white morals and simplistic worldview of boxing people into Strong vs. Weak.

Which is evident in the Judar and Aladdin omakes irt his thoughts on the Ren family being ideal King's Vessels for their charisma and intimidating looks.

It's like... At that moment, he (Judar) is not ready to face that.

Alibaba is someone that he clearly sees and perceives as "weak and naive," but also his existence and miorals are complete opposites to his and challenges his world views.

He just... does not get Alibaba's humble and empathetic nature, at all.

I like thinking of it in the sense that he's frustrated by his bright (dazzling) radiance.

He understands and recognizes that Alibaba draws others to him, but just can't seem to understand why. It frustrates him how he doesn't get it. And that in itself shows a form of inner curiosity, a desire to know more.

I wanted to convey that feeling in my own dialogue scripts 🥰💞

I also find that Judar's aggressive threats towards him really don't hold any (true) weight.

He throws such empty threats.

It's SO funny like he (Judar) says it with his whole chest.

Off the top of my head, here's a bunch of instances of Judar getting aggressively violent (but they're all empty threats)

He always says he's gonna kill him and never does LMAO

Judar: When I get the chance, I'll definitely kill him! 💢

Judar: (Doesn't)

Magi: Ch. 266, 267, 275

I'm gonna send the fan-TL for these cuz Viz's wording tends to butcher tone in dialogue and chara's speech styles. And the fan-TL more accurate/closer to the OG text

Rambles (5/22/2025)

Updated: 5/22/2025

I edited and added to this JuAli dialogue script today. 😌

I mainly fixed the wording and grammar. I also added a few lines ^^

I added Judar's line near the end, "......No. This isn't enough. We aren't done yet."

Because I think it's cute that Judar expresses his need. This whole scenario is him going "I want more!"

Though ofc, he does it with his usual arrogant, bratty, and demanding personality ❤️

I love thinking about JuAli's initial sexual tension and hostility in their early interactions (when they're first starting to get intimate with each other) 🤭

At first, I was just gonna update the old post and reblog it, since I usually don't repost my dialogue scripts unless I make significant changes.

Though I figured I should just remake the post since I originally made the post last year.

I copied over my old rambles and added some new ones.

I also noticed that my old dialogue scripts still use Notion's Light Mode UI and I switched to Notion's Dark Mode UI last year.

I have most of my programs set on Dark Mode cuz I prefer the visual contrast. It makes writing/reading my dialogue scripts since it's easier on the eyes (at least for me, personally)

The dialogue in this one slaps honestly. This JuAli dialogue script is honestly one of my top fave dialogue scripts ever 💘🙏

I really wanna be able to draw it out someday... 🥰

Back in 2022, I first started writing my ship AU scenarios as dialogue scripts (kinda similar to the "Play script" style format)

I'm mainly a visual person, but I wanted to write down my ideas so that I wouldn't forget them.

I'm satisfied with my art growth in the past year ☺️ Hopefully I can draw my ideas in the future!

In the past, I also wrote a separate scenario about JuAli and Kougyoku making flower crowns 💐

I revamped the dialogue for it recently and added some new parts, but I wanna wait until I write the rest of the scenes I want before I post it.

Tbh I think any dialogue scripts of mine would be much stronger in drawn form since art is my strong suit.

I'm just posting these cuz Idk when I'll get the chance to draw out my ideas, and I still want to talk about my ideas for them 👍

I could post the memes along with my arts in the future. Or put them in a separate post? 🤔

Misc Rambles (8/09/2024)

I really love them so much... That's why I wanna draw and write for them more.

Recently revamped a JuAli dialogue script idea I had. Judar and Alibaba kiss with banter 🖤❤️💛

I added more to it. I last updated it in December, so I might as well post it again since I added some new lines.

It's just them kissing, though it's kinda suggestive/sexually implicit.

Yeah I think my moots know why I mainly post rambles on Insta and Tumblr. It's cuz I usually do long rambles for character thoughts + analysis, and Twitter's character limit is super annoying for that.

I tend to post discussions cuz my friends have insightful things to say (and I feel like it flows more naturally in convo format than just to summarize what they said)

I need to talk more about my Magi faves on here (I miss them 🥺) because I had many thoughts while reading, so I just roughly drafted my ideas right now.

I need to write my character/ship ideas down before I forget.

JuAli-core Ship Posts

Rambles

(EDIT: 5/27/2024)

(Rambles with my friend Cinna.)

Anyways, I made the JuAli meme edit one myself 🖤❤️💛💞🫶

I HC Alibaba to be Iraqi due to the origins of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

Me: I wanna say that the 1st tweet is JuAli, but none of them would talk like that. They would so do this though

C: No this is literally Judar he just words it differently lmao

Me: YEAH HE'D JUST WORD IT DIFFERENTLY LMAOOO

C: YEA

Inspo

I imagine Judar wears something VERY similar to this hanfu (that I bought because it has Judar's colour scheme 🖤❤️🤍)

References

Magi: Kou Empire Arc - Ch. 266 (Official EN TL by Viz)

Magi: Kou Empire Arc - Ch. 266 (EN Fan-TL by Sense Scans)

Me: I actually originally wrote Judar's last line as "Show me the kind of spark that charmed Hakuryuu so much."

Because Judar makes a note in Magi: Ch. 266 that Hakuryuu is charmed by Alibaba in the fan-TL :)

And it's also kept in the official EN TL by Viz.

Viz still keeps it (whews) in the 2nd line, but removes the 1st mention of it in the line, "What did Hakuryu ever see in him?"

"What about Alibaba charmed Hakuryuu…"

But I don't tend to reference other ships in my ship stuff since I usually focus on ships solo. In my ship AU stuff, I tend to focus on just the ship/characters itself.

I would rather deal with my multiships in their own separate AUs, since it’s easier for me to work with.

I do love AliHaku though.

But I liked that line so I still tried to include it though. NGNGNNG.

C: OOOH I SEE…. Valid as heck. It's a good one

JuAli Rambles

Me: For JuAli, I feel like at first, Judar "hates" Alibaba with so much love. Like when you hate someone so much it’s love.

Gonna put the quotations cuz I don't think it's genuine hatred.

He's frustrated by Alibaba since he's the complete opposite of him and represents something almost of a completely different world to him. And so, he just can't understand him at first.

He'd rather deny it and refuse to acknowledge his eventual growing conflicting feelings about him at first.)

And Judar would just constantly be like "I really don't get this guy at all" and "I don't understand what he's thinking at all!"

Tsundere cat boy bad boy is verbally harsh (violently tsun) and demands around verbally a LOT, like a needy cat that wants attention and affection. 🐈‍⬛

I feel like in the early stages of them catching feelies, they’d both be really awkward around each other and constantly headbutt each other…

I'm busy so Idk when I'll sketch this all out, but it was based off this idea I had in my head.

Judar is mostly verbally harsh (violently tsun) and demands around verbally, like a needy cat that wants attention and affection.

Both of them would be really awkward around each other at first.

I feel like they'd always be pretty competitive with each other, but they'd warm up over time.

i feel like their competitiveness with each other would eventually become more lighthearted (something they do for fun). Once they get closer, they'd become very affectionate with each other. 💞🥰

Fave Sen-core Ship Tropes 🐈‍⬛☀️🌙🌒

JuAli's "Love-Hate" relationship is soooo interesting to me <33

They're soooo Sen-core.

Obviously they're more complicated than that but "Love-Hate" (with quotations) is just to simplify it. Cuz it's definitely not true hatred.

They're Enemies to Lovers too, but very different from LimGuda (Douman/Ritsuka) obviously. But they share most of the Sen-core ship tropes I love.

I think JuAli has HoroRen (SK) kinda~ish vibes, but JuAli is MUCH softer. They have more warmth and companionship in their relationship, which is why I prefer them.

Like y'know.

Yin/Yang. Light/Darkness. Protagonist/Antagonist. Angel/Devil. Enemies to Lovers. And then JuAli also has Fire/Ice duality going on with them ☀️🌙🌒🔥❄️

Sen-core meow meow mf/ship strikes again‼️

I really adore JuAli and AliHaku, heehee. 🥰

JuAli is my main Magi ship, while AliHaku is my 2nd fave Magi ship (secondary)

They're very "Sen-core" ships due to their ship tropes (ex. the Sun/Moon/Eclipse symbolism they have going on)

The majority of my ships operate on "Opposites" contrast.

I love ships that are intense and dangerous and full of conflict and tension. I love competitiveness for my ships. My ships usually have an element of danger in the relationship...

I tend to prefer ships with more strongly emphasized character contrasts, and conflict and tension, because they cater to my personal tastes/preferences more, and are more interesting to me.

I prefer ships that are more intense and dangerous and thrilling.

My most favourite ships are usually "Opposites Attract." Though I'm really picky about what kinds of "Opposites Attract" ships I like.

I still want my ships to have the right amount of push and pull (irt conflict and tension)

I don't like the kind of "Opposites Attract" ships where charas just have an extremely one sided tolerance for each other, cuz it's so boring to me personally.

JuAli (main ship) and HoroRen (secondary ship) just fall into my kind of rather rough and violent end of "Opposites Attract" ships.

Twink on twink violence is their love language /lh

I love "Opposites Attract" ships that are also combined with any of these tropes: Narrative Opposites, Narrative Parallelism, Yin/Yang, Light/Darkness, Sun/Moon/Eclipse tropes, Protagonist x Rival/Antagonist/Opposing Figure, Charas who are fated/destined to clash/destroy each other but overcome their fates, Reconciliation of Opposites, Fated Enemies/Rivals, etc.

Light/Darkness, Yin/Yang, Sun/Moon/Eclipse, Rivals/Enemies to Lovers, Protagonist/Antagonist, Meow meow mf x Ball of sunshine, Morally questionable (Morally bankrupt) x Morally Agreeable, Freak x Freak who freaks them out (or human that tames them), etc.

My main ships: LimGuda, IdaTatsu, XanLena, JuAli, and KuroEne, are all "Freak x freak who freaks them out (or human that tames them)"

LMAO

Freak x normie where the normie (or more "normal" S/O) has the freak ™️ on a leash 👍

And they also all fall under most of the ship tropes I listed!

My Art/Writing Ideas ✍️📝

Me: I don't really post my writing ideas on main cuz my dialogue scripts are more like guidelines for me to practice writing dialogue for comics, and also to help me remember my art ideas.

I write down my ideas so that I don't forget them (cuz they come to me spontaneously during the day), and also so that I can hopefully turn them into comics one day 🙏

I post them because I'm not sure when I'll get the chance to turn my ideas into art form, and because I think the dialogue scripts are interesting to read.

Also me doing this still technically counts as a form of art. Even if they're written almost like play format, it's still a form of creative writing.

I've definitely gotten sm better at it over time, like I've been refining the way I write my faves' dialogue over time. 🥰

Because when I write these scenario ideas down, I think in terms of visuals. When the ideas come to my head, I imagine and see them all visually in my head. I'm a much more visual person, so I see things through visuals, and then try to turn them into words.

I think I first started critically engaging with and analyzing media at 18 (which is a good thing, because art is a form of expression and social commentary)

I think I only really got good at doing media analysis at 18+ and it refined even more at 19 - 21+

It used to be so hard for me to put my thoughts into words, but I got much better at it through practice (by doing all the thought rambles)

But I'm literally so much better at analytical writing (ie. Series and character analysis, meta) than creative writing (ie. Novel and fanfic writing), so that's why I only do dialogue scripts.

It'd be interesting to try and take up fanfic writing in the future though... But it definitely won't be soon, so I'll stick to my main creative form (drawing) for now 🙏
