Well, I lost track of this for a LONG time, but then rinkafic asked a question and I figured I could go ahead and finish...so here we go. (Previous entries are all tagged the same so you can check it out if you want.)

Day 23 - Couple you only shipped after a long time



Sarah Williams/Jareth

I always loved the movie, but I was still in the good/bad, never the two shall meet type mode for the longest time. It took me awhile to move beyond the little girl 'princess' loves the good guy to being an adult woman who likes guys with an edge. Once I did that, these two took on a whole different image for me. I like them - once Sarah grows up and out of her "It's not fair!" stage, she stands up to him, she claims her own power. Even in relationships where someone chooses to be submissive, they should all possess and claim their own power - until they do, the relationship is doomed. Once she claims her power, she can stand equal to him, and the field is open for the creative at that point.
