#we love bowie

[in-subdued-ecstasy]

true bravery is walking around in a “babe with the power” shirt and trusting that the general public will know it’s a Very Cool, Obscure Jareth from Labyrinth Reference - and not a god awful ‘call me a babe, i’m modern and express my girlpower through the medium of shirts and bags with big font’ type thing ~

“Golden child, lion girl; tell me what it's like to conquer. Fearless child, broken boy; tell me what it's like to burn.”

Aegon gave up on her. He and his family moulded her into this thing. This assassin and pawn and Queen and mother and maid, all at once. And she managed to ace each of their tests with flying colours, excelling at each one until it was too much for them. She could forgive him for everything, except for that. Except for giving up and getting bored with the horrible person he created.

So I just woke up and... I didn't just dream this, right? It's actually happening today?? We get a REAL trailer, the marketing is gonna start in earnest AND we'll get a release date?? After ten flippin years.. it doesn't feel real guys. 😭 I'm so full of all kinds of emotions. 🥹

James and Lily died two days before ‘Under Pressure‘ was released in the UK. So they either managed to find a way to get an early copy from the US or they never got to listen to this masterpiece and I know they would have loved it.

For some reason this song title reminds me of The Man Who Fell To Earth in a way

Like partially it's because of the word 'subterranean' since Bowie's track Subterraneans from Low was initially written when he tried to do the soundtrack for tmwfte and other than that it's just the feeling of the song ig? I know it's not what it's really about, that was just my first association, it is really beautiful though (me and my piano teacher went on a tangent about Radiohead today so that's what I've been listening to all evening lol)

Muppet Mainstage, January 12th, 2023

“As the World Falls Down” was written by David Bowie for the 1986 film, Labyrinth. The song is sung by Jareth, the Goblin king (David Bowie) to Sarah (Jennifer Connolly) after she bites into a peach and is transported to a masquerade ball held in a dream world. The costumes from the scene are a part of the Jim Henson exhibition and they are STUNNING.

There was a music video created for the song, although it was never released with any Labyrinth material and was only released in 1993 as part of the video Bowie – The Video Collection. This music video features Hoggle (Shari Weiser), as well as scenes from the movie.

(More thoughts and drafting! Some weird formatting I know but it was all one block in my notes)

Emma is doing just fine. Average. It’s really not so bad.

She’s just been dealing with a lot of change. And with too many things not changing.

Which is… an odd thing to struggle with.

Because she likes change. Daunting challenges. The unpredictable. Doing new things every day and never being scared of them. And she likes independence.

She had thought so, at least.

After the show, she had been hit in the face with just how… isolated she was. She had only had two friends before the first season, but she had left them behind. Her mother wasn’t doing the best, and she didn’t have any nearby family.

She found herself laying in her bed in the middle of the day most of the time, scrolling through her contacts and old conversations.

Or scrolling through her comments on TikTok.

A few weeks ago, she had tried some stunt involving a motorcycle and an inflatable pool. She probably wouldn’t have messed it up if her hands weren’t trembling.

(She had forgot to check the breaks, and wasn’t sure if they were working.)

(They were.)

The blood dripping down her face and the gash in her lip didn’t sting as much as it did watching the video.

She looked ridiculous, and she probably always did. It was better when she had someone else to do it with. Maybe she was losing her touch.

She didn’t post the video.

She turned back to dancing instead, which did feel less embarassing, despite the constant mocking feedback. Sure, the jokes were “funny”, but she didn’t care about any of it. She didn’t feel the rush, she wasn’t planning every day, and she wasn’t known or loved for anything.

Except for what she lost.

And, the show, to an extent.

-Ugh, she misses the show. She shouldn’t, but as stupid as it sounds, she really did. She missed doing crazy things and talking to people. Having a chance of winning. Beating everyone. Being cheered on. It wasn’t always great, but at least it was something. She misses doing something.

And she really misses Bowie. She missed Bowie, but she knows better than anyone that she can’t go back to that. They just- have better things to do now. He probably does.

He’s got Raj- which is great! And she’s happy for him! She’s happy for everyone. For Wayne, however he’s doing, for Julia, despite everything.

And Caleb. For having Priya.

Emma is jealous that Bowie gets to have someone.

Emma is jealous that everyone else gets to have someone.

Emma is jealous that, unlike everyone else, winning the show probably wouldn’t have made her any happier.

She isn’t sure what would.

oh my gosh I love this photo of David!!! I have two David Bowie decks of cards and this is on one of the cards!! I had this card hanging in my locker all school year so it’s nice to see it again :)

closed starter for @silencedmoths plot: linked in source! (it's giving v much they've been friends/in the same friend group forever but they're actually dating someone else in the group -- bow's best friend no less — and it's actually eating them alive !!! feelings are very much unexpressed but it's probably obvious FJEKWLA)

he was about to admonish whoever had felt it necessary to check on him after deliberately telling the group he was fine, but the second bowie turned to see them slinking through the balcony door, the lecture died in his throat. "if you're coming on jenny's behalf to, once again, ask if i'm hungry, i might just jump so.... reconsider." the tone was deadpan, but he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from turning up at the edges. "unless you're just also looking to escape before mike calls for another round of scattergories in which case.... welcome."
