PLOTTING NOW WITH 200% MORE DAVID BOWIE

[dontstartunbelieving]

So for those of you who do not know, the Gravity Falls fandom has their collective panties in a twist over the fact that a while back, Alex Hirsch wanted to do an episode that was a giant Labyrinth reference. It's a beautiful thing let me tell you. But it was vetoed because Disney thought no one would get the reference.

So why am I telling you? Well I was chatting on Plurk about how my panties are in a twist over this episode never happening. And it occurred to me.

Cosmos gives us the ability to make this episode happen.

I would like to host a cute mini event for p much anyone who wants to participate wherein Mabel has a movie night in her room and due to sibling shenanigans, her room turns into a version of Jim Henson's Labyrinth. She's twelve, give her a break. I don't have a lot of concrete ideas for this mostly because I'd like to see who's interested in actually participating. I think Mabel would let just about anyone in so long as they promised to follow the rules in her room. (1: Don't be a jerk, 2: Bring an offering of snacks to share.) Here are the ideas I do have though!:

A room going that big means that is actually gonna be unstable and dangerous.

Mabel willing the room that huge is gonna throw people into all sorts of places in the Labyrinth.

Depending on how many people want to do it there can be a ton of "teams." So far the suggested teams are "Team We Gotta Find Dipper or David Bowie Gets to Keep Him," "Team Jesus Christ Mabel Dipper is Terrified of Puppets" and "Team WHERE DID MY GRANDTHINGS GO." These are not set in stone but starting in different places and having to find each other for the labyrinth to go away does sound kinda fun?

So Bill might be David Bowie WHO KNOWS?

SO DOES ANYONE WANT TO PLAY THE PARTS OF VARIOUS CHARACTERS AND CREATURES MET THROUGHOUT THE ACTUAL MOVIE?

Oh my god this is gonna turn into The Wizard of Oz meets Labyrinth meets why?

Like seriously anyone can participate.

I'm thinking of doing this first week of Augustish? It might last a weekend but I'll probably put it up in advance so people can play at their own speeds.

So basically I am coming to you, good people of Cosmos, to see who's interested! I know a bunch of people on my plurk expressed interest in it so like I just want to get an idea of how many people are gonna be involved and stuff. Nothing's set in stone at the moment except SHENANIGANS.

SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED AND/OR YOU HAVE IDEAS FOR IT LET ME KNOW.

And if you've never seen Labyrinth please educate yourself on the most fantastic film ever created. I can't help it I'm a huge Jim Henson fan.
