I know that I’m in the minority here, but I actually don’t perceive Sally as “beautiful” or “alluring”. I’ve seen people mention her as so in many fanfictions and when describing her as Jack’s girlfriend…but I honestly look at her in a much, much different way.
I like to think of Sally’s looks as “different”. She’s a ragdoll who has many flaws and imperfections to her. She has stitches all over her body, a lopsided smile, huge eyes, and her dress is made from scraps. She doesn’t have the small lips, nose, and wonderful figure like the other Disney Princesses do. She represents a monster with many imperfections, yet with a sweet and caring personality.
And I don’t know about you, but I think that’s what makes her perfect for Jack. She blends in with the other grotesque citizens, and may even be scary to some with those detachable limbs of hers. She’s beautiful in her own way, for caring about others and voicing for what she thinks is right. In Halloween Town’s perspective, Sally’s beautiful alright, but I’m sure that Jack loves her for how her positive personality overshadows the many scars and imperfections she has.
I mean…Jack Skellington’s no Prince Charming, either. Oh, what am I saying, Jack’s the hottest guy there is. He and Sally really suit one another in their own weird, different ways. There’s no doubt Jack would call her beautiful - but it isn’t because of her vivid hair, round face, or her ruby lips. It’s of her own beauty she carries that he ever so deeply admires and loves about her. THAT’S what makes her so unique from the other ghouls - not her looks, but her charisma.

The cutest romance must include skeletons and ragdolls
I hecked up Sally’s dress, but you know maybe she made a new dress or something

You know, I used to headcanon that Jack Skellington only has one fear, what with him being the Master of Fright and all. And that fear was actually pretty cliche, I headcanoned that Jack was afraid of losing Sally. The one he loves the most. A headcanon that a good portion of the fandom can agree upon.
Nowadays, however, I realize that I was wrong.
Jack was never actually scared that he’d lose Sally. The moment he knew that she was trapped down in Oogie’s lair, Jack changed his once-calm expression to one that held fury. He never showed a moment of being scared, he kept the same look on the whole time he fought Oogie. He was only surprised to hear that someone was down there alongside Santa, not scared.
No, Jack knew he was going to get Sally back.
I think you can tell, visibly, that Jack made a really quick plan while he was peering through those bars before going down into the Casino. He’s really agile and smart, which explains how he exactly saved Santa and Sally’s life in the matter of only a second. Jack knew what he was doing - therefore he had NO reason to be scared of losing Sally.
Jack Skellington really is fearless.

You know, they really paid attention to small details in The Nightmare Before Christmas. The lighting - for one. Every moment shared between Jack and Sally together feels so different than the other scenes in the movie. The lighting is special. The scenes appear to be glowing. Their kiss scene, especially, really feels soft to see. There’s something romantic about the music that plays when they’re together. Just by watching the shift in lighting and mood, you can tell that Jack and Sally shared something special throughout the movie.
Not to mention that Jack speaks softer with Sally than he does with any other character in the movie. He purposely lowered his tone when she came to him for her assignment, and he speaks with such passion and care when approaching her at the Spiral Hill. That’s something that you just can’t ignore.
That butterfly that emerged when Sally delivered Jack the basket matched these scenes, too. There’s a hint of chemistry right then and there - something that feels different from the movie, something romantic. Sally’s longing look and Jack’s concern when she’s not there really shows us that they both have a connection outside that we can’t see. That they have a building relationship outside the events of the movie, and it shows very subliminally.
There’s something about the moments between them that make it feel like they’re separated from the movie. That the times they are alone, it’s shared only between Jack and Sally. I could watch their scenes a million times over. There’s a lot of certain details to the moments between Jack/Sally that make sure that the romance is there and it’s alive. Details that get overlooked by many fans.

“Sally, I can’t believe I never realized that you…”
“…Felt this way.” (My guess)
“…Loved me.”
“…Did all this for me.”
“…Look incredibly adorable in this lighting.” (Hey, anything’s possible!)
“…Would risk your life like this.”
“…Were right all along.”
”…Mean so much to me.“

Summary: Sally gets a little jealous over Jack’s fangirls.
Pairings: Jack/Sally
Things were starting to grow tirelessly repetitive.
Don’t get Sally Skellington wrong. She loved
going to Disneyland. In fact, it was one of the many things she looked
forward to every year. She enjoyed the rides, the faces, the autographs,
the pictures, the food, the walks, the nights, the hotels, the parades,
the merchandise…she loved everything. Visiting Disneyland was
like going to Christmas Town, and everything that came with it was like
Christmas candy. She loved absolutely every part of it, and she would
never grow tired of the trips her and Jack took to the kingdom.
She could, however…do without some things.
It
was yet another autograph session with her and Jack. They settled
somewhere near the gardens of the Haunted Mansion Holiday, and came to a
circled tree where a line was formed off to the side. They were
approached by people who had been waiting for possibly hours, and they
did their best to prolong the conversations. They met with families,
fans, and children. They took many photos and signed many books, and
talked about many things.
Sally loved this part of the day. She
really did. And she felt in an exceptionally-good mood that evening,
clutching onto Jack’s hand as they waited for the next visitors. They
were greeted by a crowd of girls - not usual batch of teens they
witnessed before - but women around the age Sally was modeled after.
She
gave them a polite wave and smile, but the moment their eyes went onto
Jack, they hadn’t left him. They all abruptly came to him and passed by
Sally completely. The ragdoll had to let go of Jack’s hand as he was
surrounded by these women. He looked surprised himself, and reached out
to Sally until a girl stepped in front of him.
“Hi, Jack!” She outstretched her hand. “My name’s Stacey. I’m your BIGGEST fan!”
Sally
could tell from where she was that she was wearing Jack’s merchandise.
All of these girls were, in fact. He looked down at her and brought his
hands to her own to shake them heartily.
“It’s very nice to meet you, Stacey. How are you all doing this horrible evening?”
The
moment the ragdoll was able to push through the crowd, she got edged to
the side again. Every one of them was speaking to Jack now, their
voices mixing in with one another’s as they spurted out compliments and
facts to him. The skeleton appeared to be lost but still grinned at all
of them, and even continued on with some of their conversations.
Sally
continued standing to the side and clasped her hands down at her waist.
She shyly watched as they continued to talk to Jack. She wanted to try
and come to his side again, but it’d be pointless. So she stood there
and listened for a good 5 minutes until they were asked to continue on
so they could see the other visitors. She felt relieved seeing them
leave and went to grab Jack’s hand, squeezing it very lightly.
“Boy, those were quite an excited bunch.” The skeleton chuckled. “It felt like they knew more about me than I did!”
She
went to ask him what he meant until they were approached by a family.
Jack dropped the subject as he went to greet the child, and Sally
introduced herself. She couldn’t think straight for the rest of those
sessions. She was too busy thinking about what kinds of things those
girls could’ve told Jack - and what made them so excited about him and
not her.
——————-
When Jack and Sally started
to walk around the park, she found that she was still troubled from
earlier. He hadn’t mentioned anything about it. She debated asking him
some questions about what they said or what they were riled up for, but
she was too shy. She felt stupid asking about it or that he’d ridicule
her for being so nosy…but she truly wanted to know. She was so used to
being excluded that it puzzled her on why this bothered her.
As
they walked on the sidewalks, Sally went to bring it up. She opened her
mouth to speak until she was interrupted by some sudden screams that
came from behind them.
“JACK! JACK!”
