Originally I Wanted To Wait Until Summer To Post This, But I Learned That Before David Bowie Was Decided

Originally I wanted to wait until Summer to post this, but I learned that before David Bowie was decided to be Jareth the Goblin King in the Labyrinth movie, they had considered other famous singers like Michael Jackson and Prince.

So I made a kinda playlist based off of the songs they made before the movie (1986 and before).

Here's Bowies original movie soundtrack

Underground

Magic Dance

Chilly Down

As The World Falls Down

Within You

And here's my weird idea, I tried picking them based on similar meanings, but idk.

Michael Jackson

P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)

Thriller

Somebody’s Watching Me

Cinderella Stay A While

The Lady in My Life

Prince

When Doves Cry

Let’s Go Crazy

Jungle Love

Purple Rain

Take Me with U

I've been kinda obsessed with labyrinth recently and a part of me is kinda annoyed with the whole "Jareth did nothing wrong" narrative.

Like depending on the theory you subscribe to he's either a literal figment of Sarah's teen hormone riddled imagination or Jareth might be a former 'sacrifice' or a scary Fae.

Sarah was a bit spoiled and was hating on her baby brother wrongly, but the girl wasn't expecting a literal otherworldly king to take her seriously.

Idk, feels like another 'it's all pink diamonds fault' scenario.

On a slightly separate note, there was a fanfic on ao3 that I can't find where basically the 'Jareth' in that one wasn't actually Jareth, it was a fae that took on similarities to get the reader to like him.

Trying to find it, but I'm not coming up with anything.

So reading stuff like Solar Lunacy or any fic where the daycare attendant is at the readers house is kinda funny to me because I have several sun/moon related decor scattered in my house. So the idea of them seeing readers place for the first time and just…nothing but this

Just kinda sends me

Rip Arleen Sorkin. The inspiration and original VA for Harley Quinn from the Batman: The Animated Series. Without her, their would be no Harley Quinn.

It’s especially a hard hit as Harley Quinn is what got me into Batman and DC comics.

So, I bought a dvd of Across the Spiderverse and I spent a little extra on a dvd with these character cards. I can post more closer pics of the back if anyone’s interested.

I’ve watched Shop: A Pop Opera, it’s was great and gotta love how the guys just going through so many existential crises during one shopping trip.

I also may or may not relate a little to much to the Coffee and Paper Towel songs.
