“Some may or may not know this but his favorite flower was the Sunflower. They made him happy because they looked happy to him. Thus, he called them “The Happy Flower”. When we were married, I would try and fill up rooms with them wherever he was. I wanted to bring something to place near him that he liked and that wouldn’t die so I brought a large vase of silk sunflowers and placed them near him.“
- Lisa Marie Presley

In a strange coincidence, this is a first rough draft of something I started three days ago. I wasn’t going to post this but I’ve just seen the news and want to wish Lisa Marie all the best.
I don’t know why I started to draw this, but it’s one of my favourite photos of Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley. This photo was taken after their divorce but it always exudes love and connection to me, so in further drafts I want to make them their own neon light. I thought it was only appropriate to send her some light and love right now.
Get well soon Lisa ❤️❤️
A week before Michael died I had a really vivid dream that he was shot in the chest and died in my arms while I called for help. it was so vivid and horrible that I was in a weird mood for a few days, and bought a new MJ compilation and played it all week.
I don’t know what caused me to draw this picture the other day, or what made me place them together glowing in light. All I know is that life beautiful and fleeting, and they were each other’s light for a short while. This one hurts. They’re both gone too soon.
Rest in peace, Lisa Marie Presley.

When I say 'I love you'
Baby, you gotta know
That's for all time
It’s been ten years.
I still remember what I was doing when I found out, I remember how I lost my breath, I remember my heart skipping a beat. I remember the instant sorrow that overwhelmed me. I will always remember that day.
It still doesn’t feel real and part of that is Michael Jackson’s lasting legacy. The albums will always be there, the short films, the endless videos and photos and interviews etc. etc.
Ever since I was a kid Michael Jackson has made me feel less lonely. It’s weirdly personal, to the point that being a fan felt like being a friend. Aside from his talent, his soul was so pure and kind and just... captivating. He was a good man, and I will always believe that. He put so much good out in to the world and he still makes me want to be a better person.
I will always be a fan of Michael Jackson. I will never stop defending him and loving him.
I wish he could have had many many more years. Let’s never stop celebrating him and his legacy. Because he is worth celebrating every single day.
Love you and miss you forever, MJ ❤️✌️

“I think God plants those seeds through people on the earth. And I think you’re one, I’m one to bring some bliss and escapism, some joy, some magic. Because without entertainment, what would the world be like? You know? What would it really be like? It would be a totally different world for me. I love entertainment. And my favorite of all is film. The power and magic of movies. It’s the greatest, it’s the most expressive of all the art forms. I think it touches the soul. Music and movies are the most expressive. It’s almost like religion: You get so involved, so caught up. You go in the theater a different person than you come out. It affects you that way. That’s powerful. I think that’s strong. I love that.’’

Michael Jackson + showing vitiligo and no makeup.
If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can he dealt with. A professor may degrade you, but you will not feel degraded, a boss may crush you, but you will not be crushed, a corporate gladiator might vanquish you, but you will still triumph. How could any of them truly prevail in pulling you down? For you know that you are an object worthy of love. The rest is just packaging.
But if you don’t have that memory of being loved, you are condemned to search the world for something to fill you up. But no matter how much money you make or how famous you become, you will still feel empty. What you are really searching for is unconditional love, unqualified acceptance. And that was the one thing that was denied to you at birth.

Anonymous asked:
Wait... you actually think Michael Jackson is innocent? Have you watched Leaving Neverland - do you mean to say that you think Wade Robson and James Safechuck are lying about having been molested by Micheal Jackson?
I haven’t seen it, no, but I already know a lot about Robson and Safechuck which makes me skeptical about their claims. Like how they swore under oath he didn’t molest them and defended him in his trial as adults. Like how Robson tried to sell a book before being turned down and instead launched a creditor claim against Jackson’s state for millions. Like how they waited until Jackson passed away because the law doesn’t protect the deceased meaning they can say whatever they wish without fear of legal repercussions. Like how Safechuck claimed he only realised he was abused after Robson filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit. Like how they both used the same lawyer and filed identical suits. Like how Robson has been caught lying repeatedly during these lawsuits and concealing evidence, with the judge stating “no rational fact-finder could possibly believe Robson’s sworn statement.” Like how Safechuck provided dates he was molested that Jackson wasn’t even in the country. Like how the director of Leaving Neverland admitted that he chose not to interview anybody who could discredit their claims nor did he investigate the claims. Like how the documentary implied Brett Barnes was also molested yet Barnes vehemently denies this and has threatened legal action against the documentary. Like how a number of child actors he was friends with and alone with on numerous occasions - for example Macaulay Culkin and Corey Feldman - have vehemently defended him.
Jackson was investigated by the FBI and CPS over the course of ten years. They found no evidence of wrongdoing and the files are public:
Michael Jackson once said he would slit his wrists before ever hurting a child. I believe him. Here’s a few examples of his humanitarianism:
.
In 1985, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote the song 'We Are The World’ together in order to combat poverty in the Third World. The record sold over ten million copies worldwide and raised $63 million+ for humanitarian aid in Africa and the US.
.
February 6th, 1988. ‘Man in The Mirror’ entered the pop charts. Jackson donated all of his royalties from the single to Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times, a camp for children who have cancer.
.
December 1988. Jackson paid a visit to 12 year old David Rothenburg, later known as Dave Dave. who was hospitalised after being doused with kerosene and seriously burned by his father five years previously. Despite an estimated fifty operations, Rothenburg remained disfigured. The star paid for all necessary further operations. They remained friends and Dave Dave said Michael was like a father to him.
.
7 February, 1989. MJ visited the Cleveland Elementary School in Stockton, California. Three weeks earlier, a gunman had open fired 100 bullets in the school playground, killing five children and wounding 39 others before turning the gun on himself. Jackson spent time comforting the children and helping them to think positively again.
.
Eight-year-old Thahn Tran, who had lost his younger brother during the massacre, spoke about the effect MJ’s visit had on him: “I didn’t want to go back to school, but Michael made it all right again. If he goes there, it must be safe. Michael is my friend and I’m very glad.”
.
May 6th 1992. Michael paid the funeral costs for 9 year old Ramon Sanchez. Sanchez was killed by a stray bullet during the Rodney King riots in California and the boy’s parents could not afford to bury him.
.
November 25th, 1992. Michael granted the wish of young David Sonnet, who he met through the Make A Wish Foundation, an organisation that grants wishes to terminally ill children. Sonnet had suffered a brain aneurysm at the age of 8, leaving him unable to talk or walk. Jackson invited the boy and his mother to his Neverland home and later, his mother credited the singer’s music for helping her son to recover from a coma.
.
In December 1993, Jackson and his newly formed 'Heal the World Foundation' supported the UK’s 'Operation Christmas Child’ in airlifting over 100,000 gifts, toys, sweets, pictures and school items to needy children in Sarajevo.
.
1994. Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley met a four year-old boy in Budapest. Bela was diagnosed with a congenital liver disease that discolored his skin and prevented him from digesting food. Without a transplant, doctors gave him one year to live. The estimated cost for the transplant was $120, 000. MJ pledged funds from Heal the World, the charitable foundation he created in 1992 to cover all expenses related to Bela’s transplant. Bela is alive and well and says he cried like he lost a father when Michael died.
.
February 1995. MJ made a private request to attend the funeral of Craig Fleming, a two year old boy whose mother threw him over the side of a Los Angeles bridge along with his four year old brother before jumping to her death. The mother and four year old survived. Jackson contributed towards the surviving youngster’s medical expenses and founded a special trust fund for his ongoing care.
.
November 1, 1996. Michael Jackson donated most of the proceeds from his HIStory concert in (then) Bombay, India, to the poor. When travelling from the airport, he stopped the car several times to dance with, pick up and hug people on the streets.
.
Later this same month, he visited an orphanage and a school for blind children in Thailand. At the orphanage, he distributed toys and gifts to the children before leaving a donation of $100,000. An orphanage spokeswoman at the time said, “They don’t know him as a pop star. To them he is just a very nice man who came here to offer hope.”

Michael was a humanitarian. He was just a good, kind, over trusting man. He just put his faith and trust in the wrong people.
There’s so much we don’t know because people are always coming forward of the kindness he gave them, but you can read some more of what he did here:
I’ve traveled the world over 8 times, around the world. I do as many hospitals and orphanages as I do concerts. But, of course, it’s not covered (by the press). That’s not why I do it, for coverage. I do it because it’s from my heart.
And there are so many children in the cities who haven’t seen the mountains, who haven’t been on a carousel, who haven’t pet a horse or a llama, never seen them, so if I can open my gates and see that bliss, an explosion of screaming laughter from the children and they run past the bridge, they run on the rides.
I say “Thank you, God.” I feel I’ve won God’s smile of approval, you know? Because I’m doing something that brings joy and happiness to other people.
