So many problems with this one. Originally, this was a bridge between the Erlkonig's arc and one that should be coming around the middle of spring, but it was too soon to lead into it directly. This is so old. If the art looks weird, that's why. Also, please forgive the languages in the first panel: This was done before my decision not to try and dabble in languages I don't actually speak.
Fighting a losing battle with myself. I want to see the true beauty of what is being shown here, and my evil fangirl mind keeps going "OMG!!!!!!!! JARETH IS TIED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" *evil, bad, horrible thoughts* I really wish there were an R rated version of Laby. Gods that would be so. . . . *drool* But yes what you are saying is lovely and thought provoking and Jareth is tied up! *Ignore me*
This is food for thought, especially for all the writers out there. Sometimes you see your characters struggling to be more than what you expected them to be, and sometimes . . . sometimes you just have to snip off that "potential" in order to serve the needs of the story. It sucks, and now I'm never going to be able to look at it the same way again.
