Need Help Finding This

Right, so, a few years back there was a textbook based on the Jim Hensen film, "Labyrinth".

I think it was called "Underground: Labyrinth", or something along those lines. However, I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Hoping if I post this, someone out there in the cyber world, some might know about it and let me know where to find a copy if it exists - or if I'm just beyond the Goblin City.

[deakyghostcosplay]

This is my little project of this month, I'll be using everything from my wardrobe for this so I don't have to purchase anything <33

THE OUTSIDERS LABYRINTH AU🫡‼️

(if you get ideas from this please credit me‼️‼️)

Ponyboy - Sarah

Steve- the purple Caterpillar worm thing for @pookiepiss69

Dallas - jareth

Johnny - Hoggle

Curly - Ludo

Two-bit - sir Didymus

Clearly instead of having a mom and dad, baby brother it’s darry and soda getting taken.

It’s the same as the movie but instead of a baby brother getting stolen soda and darry get taken and get put in the castle chambers and ponyboy needs to rescue them in 13 hours by beating the labyrinth successfully, he faces trouble along the way by losing his memory and mysterious puzzles, and meeting some new friends along the way, but friends can also mean betrayal.

I will be Making a fic on this on a03‼️

Drawing all of them shortly! If you use this please credit me and @ me in the post if not I’m finding your location.

Labirinth Movie Jareth (David Bowie) Fanart

I love this movie so much and Bowie in it so I made a fanart of his character (Jareth) and the others🤍

I'll spin you Valentine evenings though we're strangers 'til now

We're choosing the path

Labyrinth Clue:

[All of them standing around a dead goblin]

Jareth: who broke it?…I’m not mad, I just wanna know.

Sarah: I did, I broke-

Jareth: No. no you you didn’t. Didymus?

Sir Didymus: Don’t behold at me! behold at Hoggle!

Hoggle: What? I didn't break it!

Sir Didymus: I understand you not. Yond's weird. How'd thee coequal knoweth t wast broken?

Hoggle: Because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken.

Sir Didymus: Suspicious…

Hoggle: No! it’s not!

The Worm: If it matters - probably not - but Ludo was the last one to see them.

Ludo: Liar! Ludo no break!

The Worm: Oh really? Then what were you doing outside the goblin city earlier?

Ludo: Ludo play with chickens! All know that!

Sarah: Ok, ok! Let’s not fight! I broke it, let me bury them, Jareth-

Jareth angrier: No! Who broke it??!

Hoggle: …

Hoggle: Your majesty? The wise one’s been awful quiet

The Wise one’s hat: oh REALLY?!

Hoggle: Yeah really!

The Wise One’s hat: Oh my god!

[They all start arguing]

Jareth later to his goblins: I killed him. He bit my hand so I kicked him out the window. I predict ten minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with war paint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.

Jareth: Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

Magic Dance — VoicePlay music video short

The Henson Company has made some classic childhood movies with enduring music, and this song is one of their best. If anyone was going to reimagine David Bowie and the puppets of Labyrinth, VoicePlay were definitely the ones for the job. They blended musicianship with delightful goofiness for a single minute that is sure to put a smile on your face.

Details:

title: Magic Dance (feat. Jose Rosario, Jr.)

original performers: David Bowie as Jareth and the cast of Labyrinth (1986)

written by: David Bowie

arranged by: Rob Dietz

release date: 10 September 2021

My favorite bits:

the top row's various confused expressions during the opening dialogue

Jose's lovely smooth timbre on the first two lines

the stacato ♫ "doot-doot-doo" ♫ harmonies in the backing vocals

Cesar's adorable little floppy paws when he sings ♫ "and puppy dog tails" ♫ 🐶

Eli's impishly screechy tone and eager finger twiddling for ♫ "thunder or lightning" ♫ 🌩

the tag team of Geoff's bassy glissando ♫ ⇗ "saaays" ⇗ ♫ capped off by Layne's fun whizzer whistle sound

Jose playing with a glass sphere like the ones Jareth used for contact juggling in the movie

the swirling audio panning on Layne's final cymbal crash ✨

that clean cut-off of the last chord

Trivia:

○ The guys are all wearing thematically appropriate shirts.

Cesar — Sarah and Jareth at the dream masquerade ball

Jose — the Labyrinth title logo with an owl

Eli — The Worm with "’Ello" above

Geoff — Sir Didymus, Hoggle, and Ludo captioned with "But should you need us"

Layne — "Bowie" repeated five times in red, golden yellow, pale green, blue, and purple

○ The chanted lyrics ("You remind me of the babe…") are a slightly altered version of a conversation in The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer starring Cary Grant and Shirley Temple.

○ During the movie's production, and in the original end credits, the song was referred to as "Dance Magic".

○ Bowie himself performed the baby's gurgles on the demo track, as the backing vocalist's child who was intended to supply them wouldn't make noise into the microphone on the day. The version in the final film contains actual baby sounds.

○ The baby in the film was played by Toby Froud, the son of two Henson crew members, Brian and Wendy Froud. When he grew up he followed in his parents artistic footsteps, and the three of them worked together behind the scenes on the Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance series.

It's Only Forever by Foxtrot (SolidState) - Rated T

It was easier than she'd thought it would be. One day she turned a corner at the park and there it was; the Labyrinth. The mouth of it, that wide brick entryway, loomed from a shady copse of fir trees where it sat nestled as if it had grown from the very earth itself – an organic living thing. The dead vines and grubby moss hardly changed at all since she had last seen it and Sarah wondered if there would be fuzzy little worms having tea in the cracks and crevices of it's pillars. Sarah heard it then, the soft voice she had caught only the faintest whispers of as a 15 year old still full of rage and righteousness, but now it spoke clear and crisp in her mind like a lazy river washing over stones. It called to her as it had done the first time but now…now Sarah understood the words.

Sarah tries to move on with her life. Jareth does not.

trying to do right (in this wicked world) by haymitch (commanderdameron) - Rated T

How to Catch a Goblin King by ViciouslyWitty - Rated E

What happens when Sarah accidentally crashes a goblin royal wedding and inadvertently proposes to the groom? What happens when the groom accepts? They're bound, of course! After all... what's said is said. You are cordially invited to an Underground wedding.

[rain-storm-witch]

Part 2

I can't remember the last time I didn't have a little shadow with pigtails

It's unnerving being alone with your own thoughts.

Looking around my surroundings it's as if all the plants died but are somehow still living, but who knows it's all magical bullshit anyways.

"57" following the harsh voice "58" it belongs to a man? Maybe? " hello " you call out trying to make yourself known "oh! Who.. oh it's you"

" Do you know me?" He looks me up and down as if he was trying to find a place where he had seen me before " Do I know who" " Sir do you know me?"

Facing me he takes a moment "Sir? No I ain't no sir I'm hoggle" he points a broken finger nail at me " Who are you" pointing back at him you take a moment to think if you should really be giving your name out.

But you give it anyways, slapping your hand away from his. He turns back to spraying something flying by "That's what I thought" looking forward at the labyrinth walls that seemed to have no way to get in "Do you know how I can get into the labyrinth?" I ask quietly

He looks over his shoulder at you " You gets in there" And just like that the wall I was looking at was suddenly a large door into the very labyrinth. "You really going in there? " He looked as if he was almost scared of the place himself "Yea I need to" with that I walked right into the labyrinth.

" dozy ain't it.. now which way would you go" not thinking he followed me in I jumped slightly at his voice "Right…right? That's what I always thought" he looked puzzled at that as if no one had ever given an actual answer " Well I wouldn't go either way"

"Thank you for helping me in hogwash" " It's hoggle!" He stomped out and the doors closed behind him really setting my fate in "Alright let's go "

Walking past branches and rumble it seems as if I haven't gone anywhere. Running doesn't work either, it's like I'm stuck in the same place no matter how far I run "This goes on forever.. how are there no turns" sliding down against the wall with my head in my hands. It's so stupid that I can't find a single turn

" ello" looking to my right there's a little guy who sits with his little scarf "Did you just say hello to me?" A blue worm? Really? "No I said ello but that's close enough" so adorable with his little scarf "Little worm you wouldn't happen to know where the turns are would ya?"

It felt silly to ask a worm, but hoggle had helped me so why couldn't this little guy " There's one right in front of ya" there was? "Come inside meet the missus?" " Oh no I can't but thank you truly "

Standing up as I put my hands out just in case I fall through something. And sure enough there was a hidden turn " Thank you so much little fella " I nod my head going towards the left "Hey hang on don't go that way" oh yea that's right always go right " Truly thank you again" giving him a half smile i head to the next part

Honestly everything about this place is just strange

And even stranger things were happening in the castle that lived at the center of the goblin city's

Jareth sat upon his curved throne deep in thought while the goblins around him tried their best to calm the sobbing young girl sat in the middle of the throne room.

Looking towards the poor girls red face as she tired wiping them as fast as the ran down her face. And finally taking pity on the child he stands and takes steps till he is at arms length with her "What has you so troubled little one?"

He asks crouching down brushing away the stray tears that fall faster, as Evie tries to get any words out she just breaks down even harder. Hiccups follow with mixed words that not even the goblins can understand.

Jareth not sure of what to do picks the small child up and holds her close to his chest "Things will be alright you're with your brother and sisters now petal" but his words did in fact not help in the slightest they actually made the sobs worse

Tiny hands clenching his shirt with a tight grip her wails grow louder. Sighing Jareth looks to any of his subjects for help, he hasn't had to deal with a child that could talk in ages usually it's small babes. Even the children the same age as the one in his arm didn't cry this much.

"Little one you are safe here I promise you" turning back towards his throne Jareth sets the girl down "You know what ? You remind me of someone" looking at him witn sad doe eyes waiting for him to speak while she tries to catch her breath

The goblins around start rushing to set something up as Jareth walks back to the center of the room pointing back at the girl "You remind of the babe" gaining the curiosity " The babe?" Evie asks through shaky breath and sniffles.

Jareth rushes to girl grabbing her hands in his as he dances her to a set of goblins who grab the girl and bounce around with her. Her sobs turning into giggles as goblin after goblin take turns dancing around the room with her singing with the king who also dances with them.

Back to a poor mother worried sick about her small child

Hearing Evie's cries I head towards the castle as fast as I can, but everything looks the exact same. Looking through my pockets I pull out kid lipstick from Evie's play makeup set "This is just going to have to work thank you Evie for sneaking things into my pockets" putting an X in the direction I was going next. Wait I've already gone this way? Didn't I? Turning around was another dead end "Wait wasn't this clear just a second ago? "

"No that was always a dead end " turning back the dead end I had just been at now showed two doors with dog like things? But there were four. One on the top and one upside down " how am I supposed to find Evie if everything in this damned labyrinth keeps changing " as the two dogs look at each other and back at me as if it was stupid to ask them

"Well there's only one way out of here and it's through one of these doors" " But one them leads straight to the castle at the center of the labyrinth and the other leads to… Certain death" the one below him added some noise for drama which was silly but not fun "So can you tell me which is which"

" uh we don't know" looking at them dumbfounded. That really had worked for me so far " But they do" the pair on the bottom say to the top " So can you tell me?" Shaking their heads "No you can't ask us, you can only ask one of us" nodding along the blue one quickly jumped in" yes, it's in the rules….but i should warn you, one of us always tells the truth and one of us always lies that's a rule too, he always lies" I'm sorry? As they argued I try thinking of how to loophole all of this.

Maybe I could tell the hot goblin king I liked his unique hair? "Oh! Would the blue one tell me that this door leads to the castle?" Looking at each other then back at me " Um yes?" Ok I think I can figure this out "So that means this door leads to death and his leads to the castle? No? "

"How do ya know that? He could be telling the truth" " Yes but then you would be lying and the doors would still be the same" walking towards the blue door getting ready to push it " See it works no matter what, you always go to the right" pushing it felt really good knowing I would soon be at the castle but really I should have known that nothing in the place makes any sense

Falling down the dark hole with a bunch of rough hands grabbing at you. Only to hold on with a rough grip just to let go. Pleading calling for anyone to help you from falling

" Who are you calling for" anyone really "I just don't want to fall down" it's like the stuff of nightmares, bathed in darkness with only the dim light from where I fell through " We are helping" it's grip hurting my wrist and my ankles "We're helping hands" there's laughing all around me again. Shivers are sent up my spine at the creepy way the hands keep forming faces "You're hurting me" the hands lessen their grip just slightly "Would you like us to let go"

Then before I can say no I'm falling again "No No Please" then I'm still once again "Which way would you like to go" looking around it's either up or down "Like going down?" Before I can think of what I've said there's laughing again "You chose down" more of that god awful laughing "Wait what do you mean" I say in a panic "She chose down?" As I go to grab any of the hands to stop myself from falling

falling down twice as fast as before. The nails of the hands digging into my skin cutting me before letting go and just as fast as the panic comes and swarms my mind I hit the ground with a dull thud.

And with that the second part to this story is done. This one has been done for a long time but I really wanted to make sure that I felt like this part worked well enough as the last chapter that really followed the og script.

And yes sorry this chapter is small I kinda wanted to get out of the per set stuff and into the angst and stress of the other ones.

The next one will have theme's of claustrophobia and overs but that one is hopefully going to be out way sooner than this one.

And there will hopefully be more Jareth and his pov.

But really this story will now mostly be it's own timeline and have its own kinda world building with characters. But it will keep to the og world that the labyrinth takes place in.

[doofusschweetz]

Someone should make an asian version of Jim Henson's labyrinth.

Sarah is indeed abused(and unlike in the movie where her dad has a 2nd wife, the dad will have an affair with their neighbor timmy's mom), wishes a sibling away to the goblin king(because the child will have a better chance in life there than their abusive home).

Jareth convinces Sarah to run the labyrinth for a better prize: money. Their family wont be toxic if they had money after all, right?

This version of the labyrinth shows her that things are indeed what they seem. The worm is simply a nice guy, Hoggle is a grumpy gardener, Ludo is stupid and cute, sir didymus is...well, him.

She decides that the labyrinth and the underground is indeed way way wayyy better for her baby brother. Jareth sees this. Becaus she is asian, she finishes the labyrinth in a few hours with math skills.

In the ballroom scene, she cries because jareth is a villain but he's nicer than the people who should be loving her and her baby brother. New scene: Jareth shows her what will happen if she takes home the money--they will still be abused. That's the harsh truth and things are indeed what it seems.

Jareth is again, in love with her just like in the movie, so he convinces her to stay. For the sake of tradition, he fails. She returns home with her baby brother and there is no happy ending.

She learns that there is no exit in life. Her parents says writing=failure, arts=failure. She becomes successful and when she gives money to her parents, they are still mean.

The baby brother on the other hand, grew up normally because Sarah raised him, and took the beatings for him.

Instead of a "big bulge coming of age story" it's gonna be like "big bulge grow up, girl. story".

Nowdays, she would be wearing a simple white dress, and this entire scene, other dances included, would be greenscreened. All the Muppets would be replaced with CGI. The baby? CGI. Cute worm at the beginning? Bad CGI. Hoggle is CGI acted out by a grown man in a green body suit frawling on his knees who sounds like a bored Andy Serkis. Midway through watching this sequence, the video stops and offers you a choice of which Progressive ad you'd like to watch, along with a QRC code to shop policies.

Sarah's journey would end at the gates of the goblin city, with the second movie being how her and her friends, which now include one one those weird orange birds with the detatched heads because they tested well, get to Jareth's castle. The bird is named Skeebo and is voiced by Awkwafina. There's a twenty minute goofy chase sequence where everyone tries to catch Skeebo's head while Skeebo sings "Gotta Get a Baby" which gets a cover by Rihianna during the credits. It becomes the top song on Spotify. No one knows why.

The series is capped off by a two-part conclusion film that clockes in with a combined run time of four and a half hours. These movies would take six to tweleve years to make, with the final one going straight to streaming on Disney+. Instead of a dance party, the last movie ends with a three week jump where Sarah is moping around her home Skeebo bursting through Sarah's bedroom door with a flamethrower in hand begging Sarah to come with her, saying, "you're never gonna believe this." There's then a smashcut to a pop song title caption.

Don't worry though; you're not out of content. The sequel is ditched due to budget issues, but there's a series announced. It will cover Jareth's origin story, featuring Timothée Chalamet as young Jareth. It's a musical. No one remembers the songs from it, but one, "Castles Made of Dreams," was covered by Justin Timberlake. It's popular for three weeks and appears on Kids Bop. It's last heard in a Trolls spinoff movie. The Trolls movie also stars Timothée Chalamet.

Jareth Origins: Book One: The Goblin King's Genesis 8K Special Edition will be dragged out over 10 episodes that cost roughly $300 million to produce, and will then be cancelled within six weeks of being released due to pay disputes to the writers. The show will then vanish from all streaming platforms, along with the second and fourth movies. That's okay, though. They're available for $3.99 a piece on Poob, but only if you're good with ads. Also, the last two movies and the series are digital only, with purchased copied of the digital now gone from your Amazon account.

I fucking miss VHS.

Movie Costumes | Sarah's ballgown, Labyrinth (1986)

[a-cosmic-elf]

Well, that was a bit of a bloodbath.

I knew things were going badly when I lost Toby in a maze, then the castle (tower) card appeared, rearranged the labyrinth, a tunnel collapsed and I lost the magician (the worm) companion. *Sigh.*

That second-to-last delve was brutal, but I got through it, only for the last torch (ace) to burn up and that was it. Hoggle and I died in the dark. 💀

Didn’t help that I threw in the illusion rule from the Cartomancy version of the game and made it harder. (I didn’t do it on purpose, it was a genuine mistake). Fun though. 🤓

Edit:

My stats sheet under the cut:

She’d be lawful-good, right? At least when she started out? Not sure of class.

I don’t know how to score xp yet, I think each king’s treasure is 10 gold each? I’m guess stats would move on to the next dungeon, should you survive and were playing a campaign?

It doesn’t matter, I died! 😅
