I've had this headcanon for a while, but I've never really told anyone other than my roommate. It involves the movie Labyrinth, the one from 1986 and has David Bowie and goblins and the awesomeness that is Jim Henson's imagination.

The idea is: how the Labyrinth works.

The Labyrinth is constantly changing, but that's rather obvious. Is it alive? Maybe. But how does it know what to change, where and how?

The answer is very simple: The Labyrinth adjusts itself to whomever is trying to solve it.

See, in my mind, Sarah did not simply solve the Labyrinth JUST because she needed to save Toby. No, there was more than one reason. She needed to grow up: In other words, she had to learn how to make friends, how to take responsibilities, and how to think things out to solve problems, like adults do.

These problems then manifested themselves into the various characters she met in the Labyrinth. The characters were always there, but the Labyrinth created the circumstances required for them to meet.

First, there was Hoggle. Sarah had to meet him outside the Labyrinth, where he was exterminating fairies. I believe the Labyrinth, shortly before (probably right as Sarah made her wish), the Labyrinth had created a fairy outbreak, and Hoggle was simply doing his job, preventing more from coming in. By making him work outside the walls, Sarah would meet him, and the seeds of friendship would be planted, though it wouldn't have sprouted unless the Labyrinth placed the idea in Jareth's head (or Jareth planned it all along) to have Hoggle be the one to guide people out of the oubliettes and back to the beginning.

Next she met Ludo. The creatures that are seen torturing him upon his arrival into the story are likely to be either lowly guards or amateur hunters. I'm assuming the former, for this reason: we see a guard wandering around the hedge-maze portion while Hoggle and Sarah are talking about them being friends. A Labyrinth's main purpose, other than housing monsters, is to keep unwanted people away from the goal at the center. After being aware of Hoggle's betrayal (I highly doubt he believed Hoggle's story in the first place), he likely sent out guards to bring Sarah back to the beginning if she was caught. The movie also shows that goblins are not the brightest bunch, so maybe these lowly guards only understood the "long brown hair" portion of Jareth's description of who to capture, and they caught Ludo instead. Because of this, Sarah was now able to meet Ludo.

Lastly, she met Sir Didymus. As much as I would like to believe his meeting was purely coincidental, there must be a reason, if my theory is to be precise. If this fox/dog hybrid is to be believed of his own words, then he has a highly developed sense of smell, however, his opinions on the matter are different from a normal person's, or he's been living in the bog for so long that he became accustomed to the smell. How Didymus got there is not important. What does matter is how Sarah got there. The Labyrinth intentionally led Sarah to the Fireys, who happened to be closest to the bog, knowing that Hoggle would save her through the power of friendship. Whether or not she did kiss him wouldn't have changed the result of the duo falling to the Bog of Eternal Stench. There was likely a trigger close by (seriously, who puts a castle wall right outside of a swamp and doesn't have a few safety precautions such as trap doors?) Same thing for when Ludo fell and suddenly reappeared to meet them in the Bog.

The Labyrinth knew what it was doing.

I don't want to call it a webcomic just yet, because I don't know if I'll continue it. I have 2 pages drawn and everything, but I still need to trace them, shade them, and MAYBE color them (probably will. Just doesn't feel right in greyscale).

However, I will NOT be posting it on Deviantart. Instead, I'll be posting it on my Tubmblr account.

You can read it (once I post it) at writerofthought.tumblr.com/

Currently, I only have a cover. But I PROMISE! There is an actual comic.

So, after a late night chat session with my roommate, we've decided to create a calendar for the series: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. We're changing the names of the months, and days of the week, and holidays.

We've got the names of the months and days of the week, though, so don't try and convince us otherwise. I'm working on the images and whatnot. As soon as everything is done, you awesome people can have an MLP calendar for 2014.

So, I need help with the holidays, or actually, the names of the holidays.

As of current, we have:
Christmas= Hearth'swarming Eve
Halloween= Nightmare Night
Summer Solstice= Summer Sun Celebration
Winter Solstice= Moon Festival
New Years= New Years (pretty universal holiday)
Thanksgiving= (it's a surprise, but we have a name. ;) )
Valentine's Day= Hearts and Hooves Day

Now, there's a LOT of holidays in our calendar. If anyone could give me ideas for holidays (I need which holiday you're replacing, and what you're going to call it), it would be much appreciated.

So I found out yesterday that I got accepted into a college I applied to. Because this is the internet, I am not saying which one.

But, more importantly, I got into the music program! AND I got a nice scholarship because of being in marching band.

Of course, I'll still upload my doodles at my usual pace of "whenever I remember I can color it".

Ask Me Stuff

1 min read
I know that at the current moment, I don't have many followers, but I'd like to answer questions anyway.

You can ask questions to me, or to any character I've created, and even the ones that I haven't. I will also answer questions for characters who I have written, but not drawn, but do not expect to be answered with a picture. I must apologize, but if a character I've posted has no name, they will be unable to answer questions. The same goes for if they are drawn without a mouth.

Please keep all questions clean, as I do not like discussing the more *ahem* mature matters of characters. Inappropriate questions will not be answered.

Please allow ample time for me to gather enough questions for a single mass response entry.

When asking, please tell me exactly whom you are asking the question to. I can't answer a question addressed to nobody.

Fire away!
