my personal favourite quote on this, from the Yahoo Entertainment article
oh also a grimes song came on saying "you'll miss me when i'm gone" and he got visibly distracted and then skipped it.
Mice straight up go on missions and no body talks about it
Idk seems like a lot of people talk about it.
aquarium advertisments say stuiff like discover the longtooth grouper this friday
I see that, and raise you my local aquarium's advertising.
Vancouver Aquarium has similar ads!
They also have some SERIOUSLY inventive ones:
(High and Low Tide ^)
the only type of advertising that should exist: "ooooohhhh you want to come look at the animal"
RAT CAKE

The messages on the cake:
“Happy birthday rat!” - “And you too, rat!”
The Yankees continue to be an interesting team this season: Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s One Piece-themed cleats make another appearance, prompting YES commentator Michael Kay to try his best to summarize for Paul O'Neill what his notes tell him about the plot of One Piece (April 1, 2025 — but it's a very real clip)
THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE
Jareth, the Goblin King, Labyrinth (1986)
Portrayed by: David Bowie
Defeated Opponents:
- Jafar [Marwan Kenzari], Aladdin (2019)
- Ivar the Boneless [Alex Høgh Andersen], Vikings (2013)
- Edgin Darvis [Chris Pine], Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
“Are those tights family friendly? Definitely not. Was Jareth the sexual awakening of more people than I can count! Obviously, it's David Bowie in a leather jacket/feather cape/poets shirt/etc what more could you ask for. He's sexy, he's ambiguous, he's powerful but he will bow to you. He's symbolic of growing up and also the Goblin King who will feed you poison fruit if it means he's got a shot at winning. The fics are legion and for good reason. "Fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave" rewrote my brain.”
Thranduil, the Elvenking, The Hobbit Trilogy (2012-2014)
Portrayed by: Lee Pace
Defeated Opponents:
- Vaisey, Sheriff of Nottingham[Keith Allan], BBC’s Robin Hood (2006-2009)
- Asbjörn [Tom Hopper], Northmen: A Viking Saga (2014)
- Elrond Half-elven [Hugo Weaving], The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (2001-2003)
“He's such a bitch and I like him so much. THE blond bitch, old as hell and annoyed about everything. Willing to leave the dwarves in the dungeons to rot claiming he's patient but is not at all patient for an immortal. Also really pretty.”
I will grant these are two attractive men. One might even say they appeal as the same sort of attractive. But there is an obvious answer here, and it's the character who has become the prototype for the attractive androgenous fae creature. Half of the attractive fantasy men in the world, (not to mention a lot of visual kei) would not look the way they do if not for Jareth. The impact he has had on fanservice in fantasy films, not to mention my own criteria for what makes a man attractive, cannot be overstated.
