I have no idea how long I've been in this community or whether I've posted to it before. I kinda just re-discovered it today ^^;;; .
I first saw Labyrinth in a motel room while on vacation so many years ago I've forgotten when, and it was instant love. Being young, I was more enchanted by the cool muppets than the story or human charas. Unfortunately, we had to leave the room before it was over, so it was a while until I got to see the end (later, on video). I don't think I ever fully appreciated the movie until I was in my 20s, honestly. I still love the cool muppets even now, but by now my biggest draw in the movie is Jareth's solitude. I can relate to that a lot, the way even if he's in a crowd he's still alone. He doesn't have anyone like him around, anyone to really talk to, anyone to love. . . Okay, yeah, I still think a guy his age going after a teen girl is just a little creepy, but I don't suppose a lot of grown women would believe in him enough to get him to appear ^^; .
But I'll stop my creepy rambling now before I scare anyone away. I will now briefly lament my own lack of Labyrinth icons. . . but I guess the shared theme of solitude and misunderstood baddies can kinda-sorta make my Gala-icons fit, ne? ^_______^
