My blog:

I assumed I just wasn’t writing very well, but maybe it’s not just me.

This blog is down approximately 80%, which doesn’t affect me other than as an annoyance (as this is a hobby and @okayto is small-ish) but the issue undoubtedly hurts others.

Below are instructions for turning it off. You have to do it individually–it doesn’t matter if a blog you follow turns it off, you’ll still be affected unless you do the same.

Is there anything that’s worth more than peace and love on the planet Earth?

Do you like vids? Of course you do, if you follow this community! What a coincidence!

Ok for some god awful reason YouTube recommend this to me.

It’s a surprisingly well edited fan video shipping Jim from Treasure Planet with… I guess both Ariel and her daughter Melody???

We begin with our protag, Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet, arriving on the CGI ship from Frozen to whatever town Ariel and Prince Eric live in ok whatever.

Good honest Jimmy immediately becomes enthralled by the feminine wiles of Melody, the 12 year old half mermaid daughter of Ariel and Eric. Who is 12. Jim is 17. 

They have some pleasant chit chat on the beach, as 12 and 17 year olds tend to do. Then Jim, for some reason, is at the ball (birthday? saturday night jam session?) for Melody because I guess 12 year olds have balls in this thriving beach-side society of terrible merpeople human hybrids. Jim appears smitten, gazing lovingly upon Melody’s bitchin’ eyebrows. I wish I knew how to fill in my eyebrows that good. 

THIS IS QUICKLY TURNING INTO ROMEO AND JULIET AND I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE 

Ariel, meanwhile, watches a 17 year old space drifter flirt-bonding with her prepubescent child with the kind of sweet nostalgic smile only a woman who has felt the touch of an older man knows. The viewer appears to be only person in this universe feeling concerned. 

BUT WAIT. Trouble in paradise for Ariel as Jim witnesses Prince Eric and Princess Odette, the vicious homewrecker, from The Swan Princess(was that disney? i dont think that was disney?) sharing a romantic moment in a super public place that isn’t very good for infidelity you wanna keep under wraps. 

Mr. Hawkins breaks the news to Ariel, in a tense sea-side moment wrought with raw emotion and tension. 

In a later scene Ariel joins Jim and Melody on the beach, where she remembers her days as a hot underage mermaid. Jim apparently now lusts after Ariel? Or did he not lust after Melody in the beginning and it was suppose to be like a sister-brother kind of situation that we where looking too much into? Is he in love with both an older woman and a younger woman that happen to be mother and daughter? I am still not resolved.

Ok so Jim definitely is in love with Ariel who turns him down, despite having watched him lovingly from her window in a prior scene. Jim has only one option…

Go to a brothel! Where Jasmine and Esmeralda are apparently supplementing their incomes with sex work. Apparently disgusted by their hip swaying Jim’s attention is drawn to…Jessica Rabbit. Who also lives in Little Mermaid Town because why not.

ARIEL’S FUCKING FACE SUPERIMPOSED ON JESSICA RABBIT

In a confrontation with Ariel over her supposed flirting with Jim, despite documented accounts of Eric’s own infidelity with a human-bird monster, Eric absolutely loses his shit and attacks Ariel with a fucking sword.  

Then orders what I think is the Russian army from Anastasia to pistol whip his daughter unconscious. I am not sure if Eric thinks Melody is the hidden daughter of Ariel and Jim, even though she looks exactly like Eric, or if he’s just totally insane. It’s never really explained. 

Eric has Ariel and his own daughter locked up in the dungeons, teaching his daughter that if mommy is a dirty flirt you get the shackles too I guess. Then suddenly I guess a fire starts and shit get’s real for Ariel and presumably Melody. 

Jim Hawkins bravely rushes to the scene, facing the fires to save his mother daughter love triangle. Only to find that the flames have claimed their lives and he is too late. There is no word about Eric or the world-wide war between magical mermaids and humans he’s started by murdering the youngest daughter of the literal king of the sea.

My sister asked if the events of “The Labyrinth” are meant to be Sarah dreaming, or are they real? Although my primary reaction was that she shouldn’t put that much thought into any children’s movie (or any instance of David Bowie in tight pants), I’d like to take this opportunity to put so much though into this children’s movie, that it’ll blow your mind. 

So why is David Bowie kidnapping a child from an underage Jennifer Connelly?  In a time long long ago a sorcerer named Jareth fell in love with a girl named Sarah. Sarah’s father and step-mother would not let her marry Jareth because they wanted to keep her as a servant, to care for their other child. In a fit of rage Jareth kidnapped this other child and spirited it away to the fairy world. In this new world Jareth built a place for his Sarah. He turned the spoiled child into a goblin, and kept it to be a servant.  Many stories of the fairy would tell us that time moves differently there than in our world. (Rip Van Winkle for one) In the time it took for Jareth to build his kingdom, which he may have though was little more than a few years, Sarah grew old and died.  Overcome by grief and addled by a lifetime spent in a strange world filled with monsters, Jareth goes mad. He refuses to believe that he has lost his love. He searches the mortal world from his castle, looking for her. 

Sarah is a  Hebrew name. So, it’s common, and has been in use for thousands of years. It does not take long (for him) to fina a dark haired girl named Sarah, who has a younger sibling, and who feels that she is treated unfairly by her step mother. In a fit of rage he kidnaps this other child and spirits it away to the fairy world. Perhaps this new Sarah dies in the quest to find the child, perhaps she wins her sibling back and flees.
