Description
In which Jareth gets those hurt/comfort-type tropes he wanted? and the Fanservice (and drama) still has a wee edge over the Fail for now, and the GK wasn't the only one milking it.
(and I hopefully don't need to point out that Jareth's NOT changing clothes to make an entrance and Sarah's lack of any resistance beyond muttered snark should really tell all that needs to be implied in regards to the seriousness of the magic whammy effects.)
(forgive the non-appearence of characters established to be present on previous page; lisibility and space issues....)

I see the reference Harry made: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.phpβ¦

Harry is a D&D nerd.
π: 1 β©: 1
I'm guessing he's either found a way around his status as Walking Techbane or one of the others is filling him in.
Ooh, maybe TV Tropes is a book section in The Library. That would make so much sense.

what's wrong with good old tabletop gaming??
π: 0 β©: 1
I was talking about Harry being the type who would love TV Tropes and thinking about how he could access it. Because his magic messes with technology. Computers = technology and TV Tropes is online.
I already know he's a fan of tabletop gaming.

RPGs being where the hit points term and imagery comes from to begin with, Harry doesn't need TVTropes there.

Oh, I like the field-depth/focus effect on the first panel (interesting way to bring the background figures to the forefront...)
Harry looks as if he's thinking of hitting someone (probably the Goblin King) over the head with his staff in the third panel!
Oh so that was Eponine making owl-eyes over the back of the sofa, was it? I thought it was Cheryl... Β (And of course she's wearing Sarah's clothing, given that it's Sarah and Christine's apartment that has been supplying decent coverings for the entire cast 
'Testosterone poisoning' is an entertainingly self-aggrandizing excuse for lack of magical stamina, which might otherwise have been interpreted as the reverse

good point, that last...

I presuuume the now infamous
As for me, I needed urban dic as extra help for "testosterone poisoning"...

Jareth was being clipped, and cryptic.

Why Jareth all grumpy there. "Testosterone poisoning," don't make sense to me. What I missin'?

Scroll back to some discussion in the earlier comments here for some explanations, if you would....?

Ah, thank you.

TESTOSTERONE POISONING XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Oh, that's the best punch line I've seen in so long. So very, very long.Β

I have to say i've been been spending the last week catching up on GND and I actually made a deviant account so I could continue to follow. Wanna say from the bottom of my heart thank you so much your work and art is so inspiring I never thought I would fall in love web comic like I did for GND. I laughed, I cried, and Squeed XD Your version of Jareth is absolutely spot on and has captivated me from beginning to end. Thank you from a new fan! Cannot wait to see what you do next! <3Β

N'aww, thanks for singing out! I'm delighted to entertain.

I love that second panel. It's GORGEOUS.
Also lol at Jareth Β running away from his feelings by becoming a bird.

Eponine's face in panel 3 is the most adorable thing ever.Β

What did Jareth mean by testosterone poisoning?
π: 0 β©: 1
"testosterone poisoning" is an idiomatic term for when a dude's better judgement is clouded by his need to prove his masculinity, often in clichΓ©d and OTT ways involving violence or toughness. Jareth is self-deprecatingly describing his collapse-inducing behaviour in the Ballroom as such, implicitly admitting to James that he was being an idiot, overreaching to impress Sarah. Something James can grok.
if you wanna poke about earlier comments, there's lotsa discussion on that point below.

Thanks for responding. I appreciate the answer.

Dear Sarah! I hope the aura replenishes soon! We shall miss all the extra snark you bring. Β And Jareth shall be a right mess until then.

Grumpy (murderous?) owl face should not be that adorable

Aaaaahhhhh!!! I'm so happy Dresden got more spotlight!
π: 0 β©: 0
Haha, your lineup of copyrights just keeps getting bigger XD Serious Jareth frightens me a tad ;~; dont be distressed!!
Pika your comic is amazing and you merit a nobel prize for it (especially for eponine, her face is too cute X3)

Harry's facial expressions make this comic. As does Eponine's in panel 3.Β
GND is the reason I got into Dresden Files and Good Omens. That's kinda sad. Or at least, I think it is. But hey, I have a new series I'm hooked on. So that's...good?
....and I'm rambling. I'll shut up now.Β

I am always glad to be a gateway drug to other franchises.

Gotta love Harry playing doc here. Wouldn't Waldo Butters have been a better choice tho?

I've not established any other Dresden Files characters as living in the Building; and this required a magical lookover, not physical patching up.

AWK! the lady herself - read from page 1 to the latest in a single sitting! I'm spoiled rotten now. I love this little crossover world you've created. Better than the one we're stuck with.Β

I'm working on the Aeronaut's Windlass right now, so your perfect portrayal of Harry is giving me a Butcher Overload. It's he best thing ever!

Oh my gosh, dat angry little owl trying to be so badass, and being so freakin' adorable!!! XD Cachoo! He's myne. :3

Oh, Eponine's eyes are so BIG in the third panel!

I don't get the sweater issue. Β Please explain someone! I may be that dull but what does it have to do with testosterone poisoning???
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry - can you scroll down the comments a bit? lotsa discussion on that point and answers below.

Jesus Jareth you're so gloomy. I don't think theres a single person in you the Labyrinth fandom (or this one) that DONT want you to get the girl, lighten up she's so into you (denial is not just a river in Egypt) Β
loved this by the way. great work as always <3 Β

This particular instance, Jareth's sulks have to do with his worries for magically-zonked Sarah.
π: 0 β©: 0
The Fanservice continue to make us all very happy little readers XD I loved how Jareth dramatically swept in with Sarah in his arms, bringing sparkles with him. Bravo once again~!Β

I think I see that you gave Harry the scar over his eye. Which makes me wonder about ApartmentHarry's current compliance with canon and how that would affect his dealings with Jareth. What with Harry being a /certain/ knight to a /certain/ Court in the current books.Β
However I also realize that that is rife with plot bunnies and enough fae complexity to warrant a spin off comic or a Dresden Files book.Β
[Also yaaaaaaay for carrying over the threshold aka one of my tropey guilty pleasures]

Ahh.... nothing deliberate there, I think a frown line or mussed hair - sorry if that got you wildly speculating.
Pinning down Harry's book canon timeline/power level right now in the Building may well turn out to be a minor plotpoint in his dealings with GK. Most characters tend to "average out", so you can generally work on the basis he is somewhere between down-on-his-luck wizard PI<>major supernatural player, probably slightly on the higher end because more options. But I'd hate to spoil plot twists for readers discovering the character here.
(it was a guilty pleasure in the drawing too. Obvs.

I've also got to ask, is the 'hot and sweet' a slight nod to Lupin? (chocolate being the cure for everything)
