History Fridge / Roommates

** '''Even More''' Creepy (and strangely heartwarming): Turns out this was [[XanatosSpeedChess if not planned and orchestrated but at least manipulated]] by Jareth's [[MagnificentBastard father]] since at least before his [[SolomonDivorce divorce]] (when Jareth was just a kid) if not from the very beginning. [[spoiler:He wanted his son to have [[TrueCompanions friends]] and so access to ThePowerOfLove and [[ThePowerOfFriendship Friendship]].]] and he is poor guy's ''better'' parent.

** Mortal!Jareth his Super Ego, the one who he wants to be, the angel on his shoulder ({{Adorkable}} NiceGuy)

* While it makes sense that Erik would be attracted to opera singer [[Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera Mag]], I realized why else it made sense. Christine was first played by Music/SarahBrightman in [[ThePhantomOfTheOpera the musical]]. Guess who played Mag? That's right, ''[[ActorAllusion Brightman]]''!

* Jareth has power over [[TimeMaster time]] and [[SpaceMaster space]] and in the ''Dark!Jareth arc'' he proved that he has [[SuperpoweredEvilSide a side capable of great evil]][[note]]Dark!Jareth when FourthWallObserver [[XMeetsY meets]] TheFatalist[[/note]]... If he ever gave in to that side our only hope for survival would be his [[DumbBlonde hair color]].

* The RecursiveReality of this comic postulates, that a world can be at the same time real for its inhabitants and fictional in an another one ''and'' there can be transit between mutually, recursively or partially fictional ones... so... are this world real or we are living in just another level of fictionality? Can the fourth wall protect us? Etc..

** In a way I suppose. The main difference being that Jareth's magic was intentionally sealed by someone.

** Creepy as '''Hell''': And the whole thing happened because a young woman was nice to a really lonely little kid who got a PrecociousCrush on her. So anything you ever do in this word (even the smallest and most innocent) can result in a chain of events that can make your life living hell. This is actually also ''Fridge Brilliance'' as it is perfectly in line with the traditional depiction of TheFairFolk that the comic uses.

* Jareth's realm in the Fey world being [[spoiler: The Unwanted. Not only because children are wished away to him canonically, but look at where he's currents living and with whom--just about all of the recurring cast have probably been/felt unwanted in their canon at some point. It also explains his potential power--it's not always going to be summer or winter, but there are always unwanted people in the world.]]

* Some people commented that Jareth looks like Fai from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles with his eyepatch during the whole Dream arc. While perhaps not intentional by the artist (and the eyepatch ahving a good in-story explanation), it still makes perfect sense. Fai wore the eyepatch after his eye was eaten/plucked out/somehow consumed- basically, he couldn't do any magic after that. Likewise, Jareth was unable to perform magic the whole time whilst unaware of the dream, all the while wearing that thing.

* When you realize that the build up for the ''Dark!Jareth arc'' (2011 summer) probably begins around [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-100-Heal-129210040 this strip]] two years earlier.
