is anyone actually surprised that they tried to cut one of the best (if not the best) and most significant scenes of the whole movie (x)

The Barbie movie isn't about girl power. It's not about how women can do everything they set their mind to. It's about how sometimes women are tired and average and that has to be okay too, because you don't have to do everything to be worth anything. (And that this is also true of men.)

I didn’t realize it at first, but do you feel like Allan could be a stand in for nonbinary people?

BARBIE MOVIE SPOILERS:

He’s not a Ken, He’s not a Barbie, he’s just Allan He’s the only Allan and he doesn’t really understand it. He moves more like the Barbies do, but he’s not brainwashed by the Kendom. His appearance is similar to the Kens, but he’s not a part of the Kendom. He’s something else, somewhere in the middle.

Also they kinda show Allan not fitting into a gender binary. We see femininity and masculinity represented in Barbie and Ken, both going through the extremes of them. We see this in every Ken and every Barbie, but not Allan. He even works with the Barbies when dismantling the Kendom since it effects him negatively too and he doesn’t like it. Like how the patriarchy also effects non binary people and people outside the gender binary negatively.

You could say he leans masc/is masc and that’s true, but the Kens don’t really seem to accept him or include him as one of them. He has Barbie-like mannerisms but he’s not included with the Barbies ever, he’s not invited to girls nights. He’s just, Allan.

Out of all the amazing choices in Barbie, I think the most iconic is the choice to make Ken a horse girl

I’d lose interest if I found out it wasn’t about horses too

I don't think employers should be legally allowed to ask anyone to dress up for interviews. I should be able to walk in off the street in jeans, sneakers, and a T-shirt and interview for jobs because employers are supposed to be interviewing me and my skills, training, education, and experience, not the nicest clothes in my closet.

It's discriminatory towards poor people to ask otherwise.

It's also just fucking audacious to demand that the people you need to provide the labor to keep your workplace going put on a suit and dance around like a trained monkey before you've even hired them.

Thinking about how Merlin and Gwaine have the same dynamic as Rapunzel and Eugene. I do not need to elaborate

I miss when everyone on my dash listened to Welcome to Night Vale so there’s be a good chance that on any ole day someone would reblog a quote that would grab me by the throat and forcibly ascend me to a higher plane where I understood myself and the universe better and with more kindness but also a little spook

The only thing I ship Uther with is some damn therapy. Murder is not a healthy way to cope!

sometimes i just get obsessed with how lonely humans are, as a species. we see faces everywhere. we have stories about beings living in the things of our world that go back as long as we’ve been telling stories. we’ve been sending our songs and dances up to the sky for millennia, and when we figured out there was something beyond our sky, we started sending songs out there too. we tell each other about fairies and bigfoots and worlds lying under the skin of our own. we name robots and look for personality in code. we tamed dogs to have friends to hang out with and we dream about aliens. we see life everywhere. what is it, exactly, that we’re trying to replace? what left us alone in the first place?

[i-hate-uther-pendragon]

What I found most satisfying about Uther’s death (and this probably sounds psychopathic to non-Merlin fans) was him dying at the hands of a regular old assassin, willing to get a good-for-nothing King’s blood on his hands in exchange for some gold coins

Yes, Morgana triggered his death with the necklace, but the mortal wound was delivered by a non-magical human, which I think is rather significant

He spent his whole life fearing/hating/persecuting magic

And in the end it was the enemies he created himself that destroyed him
