"Lancelot! Someone has been in my room again! I hate it!"


On the one hand, having your space invaded and your things taken sucks at any age, but it's an especially big blow to a teenager. So I get why Sarah is pissed.


But then again, her room is stuffed full of things. Toys, books, jewelry, clothes. Sarah is completely spoiled in that regard.  Toby doesn't even seem to have a room of his own. His crib is in Robert and Irene's room. Even his changing table and dresser is in there. He's one year old, way past the time to move out into his own room. Methinks Toby was an Oops Baby and they just don't have a third bedroom. And Sarah is sixteen, not six. Too old to be fussing over a bear that apparently just sits on a shelf all day.


The other facet to Sarah's coming of age, besides rejecting Jareth and letting go of her mother, is overcoming her materialism. In the false bedroom, the Junk Lady smothers her with her "treasures", all of which seem to be from Sarah's childhood. Dollies and plushies and games, all stuff she should be past at sixteen but she's clinging to regardless.

Sarah's breakthrough that "its all junk" is twofold; one, she's finally putting childhood things behind her and moving on to maturity, and two, she's been so wrapped up in her possessions and things for so long, that she's failed to realize they're just things. The bear isn't important, her living, breathing baby brother is.


Sarah throws the music box, and the walls crumble. Her "room," the place where she hides herself from her family and hoards her possessions, is destroyed.

In the end, Sarah gives Lancelot to Toby. She's overcome her selfishness, recognized her brother's value, and is ready to move on to adulthood.

Hey, be quiet. They deserve some rest~

Okay, I've been planning on drawing this picture for a week now, so yes, here it is-

I forced myself at first, because it's hard to draw something like that when your friends are rude to you...so-

There are three people to thank: ND Stevenson (obviously), @/mellon_Soup for the reference, and Jay Herrans, because if it weren't for his musical, which I listened to again, I'd be wallowing in self-hatred for being weak. But songs about the Greek gods and the adventures of the Odyssey help to calm, you know-

So-

Still feel tension in fandoms, but as Aceas told me, I can just throw things out here, and just watch the rest (which is already progress yay) Yes?

Yes-

Okay, time to prepare for artfight (as late as always)

OH AND, it's very apt to say that this may be the last day of the month of pride, but this does not mean that you are not valid and cannot be proud of who you are all year :)

It was a fun month of pride, thank you all-

See ya~

(Upd: fuck I FORGOT TO SAY I think they are asexuals and the relationship here is platonic And- AND I DO NOT RECEIVE DOING HEADCONS ON ASEXUSAL CHARACTERS IS NOW A CREDO)
