Sally’s Song from The Nightmare Before Christmas except you’re walking your dog on a cold October night, and as you pass the local cemetery in your small town, you can hear it faintly echoing through the tombs.

“Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones. An emptiness began to grow. There’s something out there, far from my home. A longing that I’ve never known.” The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) dir. Henry Selick

🌈  he was …what was the right word? Excited? Curious? Should he have been? It was almost like meeting another like him , it probably didn’t seem normal to get excited when one saw anothers’ arm fall off , connected by mere stitching , but when they were similar to you , of course you’d get a little bit giddy. 

But , it looked like she was having trouble !! So of course he steps right in , he would help another if it meant it would make their lives a little easier.   

“  HEY! “ he calls , smiling as he approaches the other. “ I SAW YOU WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH YOUR HAND! I HAVE THE SAME SORT OF ISSUE! WELL , NOT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I’M ALL FIXED BUT WHEN YOUR ARM FALLS OFF , IT’S NOT FUN RIGHT? HERE! LET ME HELP YOU! “ and here he goes , taking his sewing kit out of his jacket pocket – 

[dollragged-blog]

            ❛   Oh, SHOOT --  ❜  instantly comes Sally’s exclamation as her left hand’s suture loosens from its place at her wrist and it falls at her feet. The hand, disembodied and all, convulses in what Sally can only assume is something akin to a shrug up at its owner. Its as if to say ‘SORRY. BUT WHAT CAN YA DO’. ( why is it that her body parts all seem to have minds of their own? ) ... Ah, yes. What can she do? Normally, she’s ready to tend to whatever body part of hers decided to drop from her form -- as she often carries her own little kit to tend to her disembodied needs -- but this time Sally finds herself at a disadvantage. Her sewing kit is MIA as well as her ever present hand basket. Instead, she stiffly and helplessly leans forward and makes a grab for her hand with her other, sighing and giving a small shake of her head in disappointment once its been collected. Why couldn’t it just all STAY PUT like it was meant to?

     The other’s voice meets her ears as she was analyzing her poor hand and it causes the rag doll to jolt in surprise. Oh! She didn’t realize that she was in the presence of anyone.  -- Especially someone who vaguely resembles her own embodiment !!

         She gives a cock of her head, wide eyes batting blankly at first in shock before a grateful smile stretches widely across her stitched face. Someone with a similar issue to her own? How grand! Sally subconsciously holds out her  leaf stuffed arm, hand still held in her other.❛  Really? You’d help out a stranger ... just like that? My! That’s awfully kind of you. ❜  Her grin widens -- her trust immediately being given unto this total stranger.   -- Why WOULD she be skeptical. He was just being helpful. As a fellow living doll, he surely understood her troubles. Who better to assist?  ❛   I’d shake your hand in thanks but ... ❜   Sally chuckles softly and lifts the hand once more, giving it a gentle yet pointed shake.

A little Sally doodle from this weekend ❤️ Original post from my main blog https://darkmatternova.tumblr.com/post/176718442707/sorry-i-havent-been-posting-as-much-my-muse

[willow-s-linda]

I actually wanted to make something Christmas related, but somehow all I got is this lil bat so SORRY :D I still wish you all a wonderful time <3

[dollragged-blog]

literally i hate whenever anyone says that sally’s meek in the slightest because EXCUSE YOU, have you even seen the film? not only does she go against authority (doctor finklestein) often , she tries her best to actively push forward with what she deems is right AND she was certainly not cowering while in oogie’s clutches. this little rag doll was kicking and screaming and, granted, she was mostly yelling about how jack was going to KICK OOGIE’S ASS once he got there, my point still stands. she’s not this quiet little ingenue.

my personal favorite bit is when the doctor finds her in the kitchen and he’s like ‘i knew you’d come back’ and she goes ‘i had to’ and he just pulls up her arm and says ‘for this?’ and she says WITH THE WIDEST SMILE ON HER FACE ‘YES’. it’s like a cheeky child getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar. she doesn’t shrink back. she’s just grinning because, yeah, that is the only reason she’s back. i always thought it was very clear she was never one to back down  but it’s become apparent to me other’s don’t see her that way and for that i will admit that she does tend to get a little ... shy ... around a certain skeleton. but other than that? that crush doesn’t define her character???? she’s a fighter. she’s clever. she’s opinionated. and that’s why i love her. 

sorry for the messiness of this. but thank you for coming to my dead ted talk

“  I know that I am dead. It seems that I still have some tears to shed. ”

“  I was a bride. My dreams were taken from me.  ”

“  This wedding cannot take place until he is properly prepared!  ”

“  What are you doing here at this hour? You should be at home, prostrate with grief!  ”

“  What a story it is. A tragic tale of romance, passion, and a murder most foul! ”

“  Why go up there when people are dying to get down here? ”

“  This would stop his heart forever. Only then would he be free to give it to you. ”

“  If I hadn’t just been sitting in it, I would say that you’ve lost your mind! ”

“ You don’t know me, but I used to live in your dead mother.. ”

“ Be gone, ye demons from Hell! Back to the void from whence you came! ”

“ We must abide by their rules! We are amongst the living.  ”

“  I don’t think we survived that crash.  ”

“  Please, they’re dead. It’s a little late to be neurotic. ”

“ Well, how is it you see us and nobody else can?  ”

“  Well, I’ve read through that handbook for the recently deceased.  ”

“ It says: ‘live people ignore the strange and unusual. I, myself, am strange and unusual.  ”

“ I, myself, am strange and unusual.  ”

“  I mean they’re gone, split, out of here, afterlife kids, deceased-ahh. ”

“ I was just wondering could you help me get out of here?  ”

“ Are you gross under there? Are you Night of the Living Dead under there? ”

“ You know, if I had seen a ghost at your age I would have been scared out of my wits.  ”

“  You must believe me. it was a horseman, a dead one. Head less.  ”

“  I think you have no heart. And I had a mind once to give you mine. ”

“ In these once familiar streets I feel… shadows… everywhere.  ”

“ You have a room over the shop, don’t you?  ”

“  Haven’t been there in years. People think it’s haunted. ”

“  Why is it you’re always too small or too tall?  ”

“ You used to be much more… muchier. You’ve lost your muchness.  ”

“ It looks like you’ve run afoul of something with wicked claws… ”

“  What if it were agreed that “proper” meant wearing a codfish on your head?   ”

“ Do you know what I’ve always dreaded?  ”

“  If you’re hiding her, you will lose your heads.  ”

“ I don’t care! He wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for me!  ”

“ I’ve been shrunk, stretched, scratched, and stuffed into a teapot.  ”

“  So, I’ve come to you hoping you might understand what it’s like. ”

“ There are questions I have to answer, things I have to do. ”

“  You two remind me of some funny boys I met in a dream. ”
