Below you will find quotes taken directly or paraphrased from the movie 'Labyrinth'. You know, the one starring David Bowie's bulge. Send in one of the following to see how my muse reacts:

❝ I ask for so little. ❞

❝ Just let me rule you, and you can have everything that you want. ❞

❝ Just fear me, love me - do as I say and I will be your slave.❞

❝ You remind me of the babe. ❞

❝ That’s not fair! ❞

❝ Give me the child. ❞

❝ You say that so often, I wonder what your basis for comparison is? ❞

❝ I have been generous up ‘til now; I can be cruel. ❞

❝ You cowered before me, I was frightening. ❞

❝ I have reordered time; I have turned this world upside down, and I have done it all for you! ❞

❝ I am exhausted from living up to your expectations. ❞

❝ Isn’t that generous? ❞

❝ Your mother is a fraggin’ aardvark! ❞

❝ Everything I’ve done, I’ve done for you. ❞

❝ I move the stars for no one. ❞

❝ Your eyes can be so cruel. ❞

❝ If she ever kisses you, I’ll turn you into a prince. ❞

❝ If he ever kisses you, I’ll turn you into a princess. ❞

❝ You’re him, aren’t you? ❞

❝ You’re her, aren’t you? ❞

❝ My will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom as great. ❞

❝ You have no power over me. ❞

❝ How you turn my world, you precious thing. ❞

❝ Well then, come on, which way? ❞

❝ Which way do you want to go, hm? ❞

❝ Was that wrong? ❞

❝ I’ve brought you a gift. ❞

❝ But if you turn it this way and look into it, it will show you your dreams. ❞

❝ In nine hours and twenty-three minutes…you’ll be mine. ❞

❝ Where you goin’ with a head like that? ❞

❝ No, I said ‘allo’, but that’s close enough. ❞

❝ It’s only forever, not long at all. ❞

❝ All right then, throw down your weapons, and I’ll see that you’re well-treated. ❞

❝ Don’t tell me truth hurts, because it hurts like hell. ❞

❝ No one can blame you for walking away. ❞

❝ I don’t know why, but every now and again in my life - for no reason at all - I need you. ❞

❝ The way forward is sometimes the way back. ❞

❝ It’s very rude to stare! ❞

❝ What did you have to go and do a thing like that for? ❞

❝ What’d you expect fairies to do? ❞

❝ What’s the matter, my dear, don’t like your toys? ❞

❝ There’s such a sad love, deep in your eyes. ❞

❝ I’ll place the sky within your eyes. ❞

❝ What kind of magic spell to use? ❞

❝ I’ll paint you mornings of gold. ❞

❝ I’ll spin you Valentine evenings. ❞

❝ I’ll be there for you as the world falls down. ❞

❝ We’re choosing the path between the stars. ❞

❝ I’ll leave my love between the stars. ❞

❝ How you turned my world, you precious thing. ❞

❝ You starve and near exhaust me. ❞

❝ I do believe in you. ❞

❝ I live without the sunlight. ❞

❝ I love without your heartbeat. ❞

❝ I can’t live within you. ❞

five word sentences • accepting                                           — @innumerablejoys​

                 ❛  you’re a great boy, peter pan.  ❜   she’s a little bit SAD, a little bit  p e t u l a n t .  wendy too, after all, is still a child ––––– it’s a detail many seem to forget. sometimes, not even wendy remembers. she listens to peter speak of his cleverness, speak of his adventures and his conquerings. it was all FIGHT, all play, all fun. it was  a c t i o n  and adventure and –––––––– childish. in the end, he’d never be more than a boy.

                she’s  h a r d l y  surprised. it’s all he ever wanted to be, after all. wendy has learned not to expect anything else — he  R U N S  at the mentions. she smiles,  i n d u l g e n t  ,  but it doesn’t touch her eyes.   ❛  a wonderful boy indeed.  ❜ 

[lookatthelights]

[wondertold]

                  wendy STANDS, tears and sniffling long forgotten –––– her eyes are still a littleglassy,but within a few blinks, any trace of wetness will be gone. right now, wendy’s got to make sure nobody ends up with any extra scars because of peter’s crazy ideas !   ❛  well, i’m not going to stop you –––––– buuuut…  ❜   her tone is songlike, vowel drawn melodious from her mouth.   ❛  surely you know that having matching scars takes away the uniqueness ! dare i say…it’s almost like wearing a school uniform !  ❜   

                   the laughter fades from her voice as her eyes meet that SCAR, of his, though. here comes the compassion she so  v e r y   m u c h  likes to give.   ❛  oh, peter, that looks like it hurt.  ❜   it DOES.the scrape she got from falling may leave her with the  p i n p r i c k s  of a scar, but it’s CERTAINLY no hook. for a moment, her hands reach out to touch. but she doesn’t.   ❛  how did you get away ?  ❜   a soft distraction — he lovestelling his stories. 

[innumerablejoys-blog]

                          how  EASY  it  was  to  change  his  mind.     that’s  the  beauty  of  a  CHILD,   though.       he  didn’t  want  to  be  the  SAME  as  everyone  else.        no,     he  was  a  CAPTAIN.      ‘    i’m  no  STUDENT.        we  burn  books  here  for  WARMTH.   ‘      he  spits  on  the  ground  at  the  very  IDEA  of  being  compared  to  some  boring  school-yard  child.       

                                   his  attention  is  easily  diverted  back  to  his  scar,       a  TOOTHY  GRIN  spreading  thin  lips  as  she  questions  the  story.    he  crosses  his  ankles  as  he  leans  back  into  the  air,    hands  resting  behind  his  head.      ‘      it’s  a   g o o d    story ---  as  ALL  of  mine  are.          he  tried  to  DISTRACT  me  with  his  greasy  mustache  &&  twigs  in  his  hair,       but  i  only  told  him  how  foolish  he  looked.       then,     his  hook  GLINTED  in  the  light  like  a  million  shards  of  sunlight  &&  i  had  to  BLINK  ----- the  old  codfish  used  that  time  to  SLASH  at me.       he  got  blood  on  his  hook  &&   i  got  a  scar.      DIDN’T  HURT  A  BIT.    ‘       liar.    he  doesn’t  DARE  tell how  he  felt  like  crying  from  the  wound.   

[wondertold]

                  ❛  you’re not making it bleed less, either.  ❜   it’s PETULANT, a little bit  c h i l d i s h  ––– but in a way, peter was right. it wasn’t his fault. but wendy was so used to showing outright c o m p a s s i o n ,  she forgot that his way of showing it was a little bit DIFFERENT. this, here, his  t a l k  about scars and envy –––– it was peter’s ATTEMPT. wendy couldn’t hope for more than that. her smile was slow to bloom,  w o b b l y  on pomegranate lips ––– but even just a hint of one was better than none.   ❛  my auntie said that scars are unbecoming on a lady.  ❜   her nose SCRUNCHES at the thought. she didn’t want to be a lady ; wendy wanted to be golden.   ❛  peter ! you and the boys will not be getting a scar ––– it hurts ! i wouldn’t want you all to do that.  ❜

[innumerablejoys-blog]

                                      his  feet  plant  FIRMLY  on  the  ground  beneath  him,     toes  curling  &&  digging  up  dirt  &&  grass  as  his  fists  find  their  rightful  place  on  his  hip  bones.       ‘   just  TRY  &&  stop  us  !     ‘       was  everything  a  game ?       of  course;     for  what  is  CHILDHOOD  but  a  CHALLENGE  in  &  of  itself ?        he  relaxes  his  posture,     legs  leaving  the  ground  as  he  hovers,    elbows  digging  into  scrawny  thighs  as  he  props  his  head  into  his  hands.       ‘      --------  the  old  CODFISH  got  his  hook  into  my  leg  once.     LOOK !   ‘     to  prove  his  story,    his  leg  SHOOTS  OUT,     leaves  pushed  aside  around  his  knee  to  show  a  jagged  scar.   

[daomngsi]

[wondertold]

               bare arm, sleeve rolled up ; she USES it to swipe at her nose. it’s  g r o s s, yes, but wendy doesn’t have many other OPTIONS. using a leaf would only make it worse ; she’d end up with some sort of rash, no doubt. and, of course, peter is hardly helping the  s t a t e  she’s in.   ❛  yes, but ––– i STILL fell.  ❜   she isn’t crying, per say ––– but wendy very well COULD be, given how she’s  f e e l i n g .  peter just doesn’t understand.   ❛ ·and it’s very hard to think positive thoughts with you making it worse !  ❜

[innumerablejoys-blog]

                                 does  he  understand  ?      NO.      how  COULD  he  ?      no  one  was  there  to  COMFORT  him  when  he  was  the  one  that  fell.      no,      the  fairies  just  LAUGHED  along  with  the  cold  stars  overhead  until  he  simply  got  up  &&  tried  again.     there  was  no  time  for  crying.      ‘      how  am  i  making  it  WORSE ?      i’m  not  making  it  bleed  more.        think  of  the  SCAR  you  will  have  !     the  boys  will envy  it.      maybe  they’ll  try  to  get  a  scar  like  that,  too !      we  ALL  can  !   ‘
