ngl, “I move the stars for no one” is one of my favorite Jareth lines
I mean a lot of people are into the “fear me, love me” speech, which was great, sure, But “I move the stars for no one” was this one little glimpse into his character and his thoughts regarding himself (whereas Jareth is narratively very much a creature who exists for and because of Sarah).
I mean every line in “Within You” are really his best lines lets be honest.
They are the fucking best because they it’s all about his anger and frustration and his sense of awe and powerlessness next to her, his realization that he cannot sway her though she can sway him.
We may be trying to let a guilty man go free, I don’t know. Nobody really can. But we have a reasonable doubt, and that’s something that’s very valuable in our system. No jury can declare a man guilty unless it’s sure.

seen a lot of these with your favorites, but reblog with the CURRENT book you are reading, show you are streaming, the last movie you watched, and any game/puzzle/crafts you’re working on
david tennant is far too good at playing In Awe of the CGI cosmos I fear we're going to have to actually send him into space some day
I may be wrong, but something tells me this is the part of the artwork that you’ve been patiently waiting for 🙈😉
Happy weekend, babes! 🦉♥️
what’s your chicken soup movie? that movie you always watch when you’re sick or sad and need cheering up, the movie you like to watch on rainy days, the movie that always makes you feel warm and settled inside
Hannibal is one of those things I love because it’s a soulmate love story that ultimately would never work in every universe, at its core. The point of their romance is that their circumstances are always on the brink of instability and destruction, but their carefully curated environment allows them to barely coexist. Like, every pair of characters is an example of what would happen if their environments/characteristics were even SLIGHTLY different (ex. If Will was more empathetic and Hannibal was more violent, they’d end up like Tobias and Franklyn, or if Will was more emotionally unstable their relationship would’ve been like Peter and Social worker. Or if it was more obsessive. Margot and Mason, etc. etc.) their situation is so specific that it works and they are the only people who could possibly understand each other. It’s why I love this show. It’s just not feasible they could have been the way they were in any universe, it HAD to be that way.
i can be obsessed with romance and also be totally fine on my own it’s called having depth and dimension and being in denial
why isn’t there a short film based on the thing where diana wynne jones refused to drop out of tolkien’s college class even though he was intentionally making it as boring and dense and unintelligible as possible so that everyone would drop out and he could get out of teaching it and write lotr instead. just imagine the potential of a 1940s Female College Student sitting in an empty classroom with Secretly Furious professor resentfully lecturing a meandering incomprehensible stream-of-consciousness inner monologue about The Structure of Narrative to this kid determined to get her money’s worth out of this chump. and them both getting way more personal and intellectual development out of this song-and-dance than they thought they would. hey guys why isn’t there a
