𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: barbie movies as troupe plays part 1 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: sfw

𝐚𝐧: if you think i won’t do all 36 barbie movies, you’re wrong. regardless of whether people want this or not. i have barbie brainrot 24/7. i’m just separating it into parts so it’s not too long *this isn’t meant to be that serious y’all my reasons vary from legit to just jokes

𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥: i won’t go in-depth with any plot differences from movie to play, or how the characters would work out... for now *chuckles in future ppt*

𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟏: nutcracker, rapunzel, swan lake, princess and the pauper, fairytopia series, magic of pegasus, barbie diaries, island princess, three musketeers 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟐: coming soon 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟑: coming soon

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: mixed troupe! spring x autumn. one of the seasonal events/scouts for A3! has a nutcracker theme, and to avoid spoilers that’s all i will say :3

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: since this is based on barbie’s take on the nutcracker, changing up the cast from what tsuzuru had in plan:

clara/sugarplum fairy: sakuya. i want to see him go through a costume & hair transformation sequence, not gonna lie. 

nutcracker/prince eric: juza. obviously he has to be the ruler of the land of sweets.

mouse king: sakyo or chikage. i want one of them to wave around a sceptre and say quotes like “i’ll reduce the Nutcracker to a pile of splinters"

pimm: taichi... pimm is a spy :O who has to do dirty work :O but the real reason is i just want taichi to follow around sakyo again or maybe even chikage this time lol

major mint & captain candy: tsuzuru and citron respectively. mint is pretty serious and awkward, candy is a lot friendlier- i just think it’ll be a good way to insert some humor in the play

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: mixed troupe! summer x autumn.

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: rapunzel in this one actually is the “servant” of gothel. also, rapunzel has a magical paint brush and also there’s dragons. who are purple. 

rapunzel: kazunari. obviously. actually, kazu has a lot of similarities with her: a good artist, patient, adventurous, quick thinking, hardly ever complains- also he’d look good with long hair i think ><

gothel: omi. there is an action fighto scene + also just the theme of omi playing villains lol... also THERE’S A SCENE WHERE GOTHEL PRETENDS TO BE RAPUNZEL BY WEARING A LONG WIG AND BOI- KAZU AND OMI’S BODY BUILDS ARE SO DIFFERENT BUT IT’D BE FUNNY IF THE PRINCE FALLS FOR THE TRAP ANYWAY

penelope: kumon. a PURPLE funny and clumsy dragon- fight me, the only answer is kumon especially once you see who’s next.

hugo: juza. a PURPLE dragon who’s penelope’s dad but he’s gonna be the older bro in this one (i wonder why...) 

hobie: a passive and worrisome rabbit... Tenma.

prince stefan: he also has a couple fight scenes... ngl bc stefan has blue eyes, light brown hair + described by the wiki as “fierce”, he’s banri. 

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: winter troupe. i will stand by this forever. 

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: this is like one of the ones i’ve had figured out for a while already...

odette & odile: tsumugi. i’m just saying, tsumugi’s duality- he can do both the white and black swan because he has power. impact.

prince daniel: not tasuku bc spare him the prince roles he’s sick of it. guy. why guy? because he obviously has a good idea of how to act like a prince :3 

rothbart: HOMARE! I WANT! THIS MAN! TO PLAY THE ANTOGONIST! GO OFF ABOUT DARK ARTS! TRANSFORM EVERYONE TO ANIMALS LIKE THE EXTRA BEING YOU ARE.

fairy queen: azuma. ugh just- imagining how ethereal he’d look.

erasmus: tasuku. he’s a troll that can act mean, but is genuinely kind and helpful... also, the VA of erasumus is also the VA for “unnamed burly villager” and i’m just saying-

kelly the cygnet: hisoka. there’s too many animal children, so hisoka is gonna be the baby swan. uwu. also, kelly has a quote, “I can't sleep.” and wOW THE IRONY

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: WE’RE GOING FOR THE COMEDIC ROUTE WHAT’S UP SUMMER. reason: i went “wait... no actor really looks super alike though.”

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: tafahfuoahoaf it’s my favourite barbie movie... OKAY SO THE RUNNING GAG OF THIS IS THAT THE PRINCESS & PAUPER DON’T LOOK ALIKE, BUT EVERYONE KEEPS GOING “Wow! you two look so identical!” no they don’t

anneliese: muku. first of all please look at the sprite i used in the header. anneliese = pink = muku. she’s the sweet princess archetype... but in this version she also goes on tangents about rocks and mineraLS AND HOW THE MINING INDUSTRY SUX AND THE ABSOLUTE AUDACITY OF-

erika: kumon. first of all, the sprite in the header again. erika = blue like ugh this is perfect. ALSO erika has a cat who BARKS and i just imagine kumon talking to her cat like: WOOF WOOF WOOF GRRR GRRR and the dog responding and everyone in the palace going wtf

king dominick: i had such a crush on him anyway he’s tenma. rich, young, talented king who disguises himself as a page so he can find love for realsies. im just saying. he won’t be tenma’s only role tho ><

julian: kazunari. the wiki went “he’s the only bestfriend a barbie MC ever married” really shook me like ugh friendship dynamic between muku and kazu roles??? also kazu’s genuinely smart so him as the tutor was just gucci in my eyes

preminger: misumi. FIRST OF ALL PREMINGER IS ICONIC? WHEN HE SANG HOW CAN I REFUSE I WAS LIKE UGH KING. i just wanna hear misumi play an antagonist that’s also funny and do things with his voice.

madame carp: yuki. a bossy and rich woman who owns a dress emporium. pretty much it.

nick & nack: YUKI AND TENMA. THEY WILL DOUBLE ROLE FOR THE SAKE OF BEING MISUMI’S DUMB UNDERLING DUO

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: spring troupe. i wanna see them have wings uwu.

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: just gonna combine the whole fairytopia series into one 

elina: itaru. first of all, pink motif. also i just like the idea of itaru being this recurring protagonist.

bibble the puffball played by kamekichi

laverna: recurring villain citron. for no reason other than i think it’s cool when he plays power hungry villains

enchantress: i just want sakuya to play a role that’s more of a “powerful character” but still really kind uwu. another recurring good guy.

azura & glee: tsuzuru. elina is azura’s apprentice, and glee is a friend who’s generally really happy... ngl, i wanna see tsuzuru play someone more energetic for funsies

nori: masumi. nori is kind of a stubborn and jealous person at first, him and elina won’t get along right away BUT DAMMIT THE ENEMIES? TO FRIENDS IS GUCCI!!! 

merman prince nalu & linden: chikage... yeah i just gave chikage the guy roles ngl... but i wanna see chikage as a handsome merman AND handsome fairy so *shrugs*

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: cross troupe. spring x winter.

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: partially based on the ice-skating cards (i have yet to read the event story, unfortunately).

annika: tsuzuru. i thought it’d be fun to cast tsuzuru as a more sheltered character due to annika’s parents’ protectiveness. the contrast y’all.

shiver: sakuya. shiver is a polar bear cub sidekick who’s friendly and likes shiny things and that’s just... really cute... put bear ears on sakuya...

brietta: guy. brietta is annika’s older sister... who got transformed into a pegasus by the villain... i wonder how they’d change the pegasus thing lol

wenlock: tasuku. NOT GONNA LIE- i want tasuku to play the villain for all these wonderful one-liners: "Oh, smile! You didn't lose a daughter; you've gained a pet!", and "I thank my lucky stars I didn't marry you!"

prince aidan: masumi bc i want more roomie interaction on stage i mean their friendship keeps getting cuter and cuter.

cloud queen: azuma... that’s all. i just remembered her bc her hair has a braided crown, and i went “azuma braided hair brainrot”

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: mixed troupe! summer x autumn.

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: i was gonna make it full autumn, but then the age casting felt awkward since they’re in high school...

barbie: taichi. barbie here is shy but wants to stop blending in the background! i just went “damn that do be resonating”. also i wanna hear taichi sing more y’all and barbie is a singer/guitarist here

courtney: azami. i like the idea of azami playing a spunky character who’s more of a tomboy, but still does like fashion and accessorising and... lip gloss?

tia: misumi? tenma? idk the intelligent and passionate archetype is very broad... especially in a high school setting

kevin: kazunari. just the whole best friend thing + kevin being a goofy person who loves to make ppl laugh ugh

racquelle: yuki. i know racquelle’s a bully here and say not to bullying... but sharp tongue.

todd: honestly? todd was so boring in the moving. we need someone like banri to give him CHARACTER!... yes that’s my reasoning ugh

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: sUMMER SUMMER SUMMER-

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: AHAHAHA WHAT IS THIS CASTING? MY REASONINGS FOR THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR ARE SO SHALLOW LMAO

ro/rosella: “a 16 year old girl who can talk to animals! adventurous and brave” me: *gasps* mISUMI-

prince antonio: “prince antonio loves travelling and exploring-” okay yeah it’s kazu...

queen ariana: i just want yuki to sing to me “love is for peasants which we’re obviously not” and i’d go :O also ngl... i wanna see yuki in like darker palettes and plotting to poison all the royals

princess luciana: queen ariana’s daughter... played by muku. because i wanna hear muku counter yuki with “all the shoujo mangas books i’ve read, all the poems always said, that the heart is made to share...”

sagi the red panda & azul the peacock: honestly, just basing it off of colour matching but tenma is sagi and kumon is azul lol

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: AUTUMN x SPRING

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: AHAHAHA WHAT IS THIS CASTING? pt 2 

corrine: i keep wanting to put sakuya in these roles oops. i just... let him sword fight on stage again :>

viveca: purple musketeer, artistic, designs clothes... fights with ribbons... you know, for the sake of banri being a fAshIoNisTa... it has to be banri y’all "Don't mess with the animal print dress!"

aramina: green musketeer, fights with fans, romantic and loves ballet... pfft, for the sake of “wouldn’t it be funny-” it has to be azami. poor bby, having to swoon over romance on stage- he can’t relate

renee: chikage. purely because of that scene where she threw a feather duster (?) at a flying shard of glass and perfectly hit it. yeah.

helene: the old and strict instructor that teaches them how to be musketeers... sakyo.. duh.

philippe: the main antagonist... it has to be omi again. and since philippe has a goatee, we’re bringing back facial hair omi~

prince louis: itaru, lol. he’s like the one significant non-action oriented character in the film. he has just enough moments where itaru still looks princely, but mostly? he just wants humans to fly y’all.

want to order again?

headcanons for glee x elina? (Barbie Magic of the Rainbow)

Glee x Elina Headcanons

- Plant gays. 

- I think most wlw have either known or been a “plant gay” in some capacity, but these two are not the “get a cactus from Lowes and call it a day” variety (mostly because.... I doubt Fairytopia has a Lowes...)

- Theirs was a slowburn romance. Glee thought Elina was interested in Linden, and she also heard stories about the merpeople Elina was rumored to be especially close with.

- Whether Elina was aware of the scope of this is questionable, but it was undeniable that she was a celebrity at this point.

- Due to this, Glee was hesitant to act on her feelings. She was worried that maybe Elina wasn’t as humble as she seemed. The fairy revered for saving all of Fairytopia seemed a little out of her league.

- Glee was surprised at how the other apprentices treated Elina. 

- All having connections to the seven guardians, the apprentices were all either somewhat well-known or from a higher place in society. Glee came to the conclusion rather early on that Elina’s... should we say... country bumpkin tendencies set her apart. Glee found them strangely endearing. She had practiced her etiquette backwards and forwards before her arrival, so Elina’s genuine attitude struck her as charming and brave.

- Years of living in fairy society without wings gave Elina some serious muscle definition. Not that Glee noticed.

- Elina made an effort to grow closer to Glee, despite the overwhelming nature of the task at hand.

- When Elina felt homesick, she would talk to Glee about the Magic Meadow. Glee currently lived in a more metropolitan area of Fairytopia, but could remember flowers like Peony from her childhood. They shared nostalgic memories, finding they had more in common than they first assumed.

- Elina found Glee to be a much needed source of stability.

- Although she didn’t push too much information on her at once, Glee did try to teach Elina what she knew about the other apprentices. This helped Elina understand in part why they acted the way they did.

- After the both graduated to being guardians, Elina and Glee grew even closer.

- Elina invited Glee to the Magic Meadow. Glee adored these visits. She reconnected with the strengths that came along with being a flower fairy, and she loved seeing Elina.

- It was ironic. Elina helped Glee understand being a flower fairy, yet Elina was no longer recognizable as one. Her wings had changed so much, they looked very different from most. They didn’t fit into any fairy classifications.

- Though her unique wings made Elina stand out, Glee loved them. She swore she could see scenes in each of the colored sections: the past, present, and future glimmering in all sorts of colors.

- It turned out that nobody else could see such things in Elina’s wings with such consistency. Nori and Dandelion each had a single experience of this happening, which led many to believe that people who became closest to Elina were granted this gift. Glee’s powers as a guardian probably also had an effect.

- Elina and Glee sat next to each other during guardian meetings. They would gravitate closer and closer to each other, until one was practically laying on the other’s lap. 

- The other guardians legitimately thought they were partners before either had even fully come to terms with their romantic attraction.

- One day, Glee saw something special in the magenta section of Elina’s wings. It was the both of them.... getting married.

- She felt embarrassed by this vision at first, until she worked up the courage to tell Elina what she had seen.

- Elina was like “The rainbow shows us signs for a reason, I guess.” and they officially became romantic partners.

- They lived in a flower residence perfectly in the middle between Elina’s territory and Glee’s protected province. Peony moved with them.

- On the day Glee’s vision came true and they married, all of Fairytopia could feel it. Magic flowed with ease through the air, and everyone could fly a little higher. The flowers everywhere bloomed in gigantic, vibrant displays. A double rainbow appeared in the sky as they solidified their vows with a kiss.

Killer Queens at AFI Film Festival 2017

The American Film Institute’s annual festival is my all-time favorite – and I attend a lot of film festivals! While it cannot be fairly compared to niche and genre festivals because it’s on a much grander scale with bigger backing, AFI has always celebrated niche and genre.

It’s also admirably high on female filmmakers (this year there are moderated talks and Q and A’s with “the godmother of the new wave” Agnes Varda and current arthouse sweetheart Sofia Coppola, to name just a couple). Adding to their feminist cachet, news just broke today that AFI Fest is booting Kevin’s Spacey’s film All the Money in the World for its closing night gala in favor of Molly’s Game, starring Jessica Chastain in the title role.

 I was lucky enough to see a great cross-section of films that celebrate women in all their glory, from the gory (Let the Corpses Tan) to the glitzy (I, Tonya). Here’s a brief rundown:

  Good Manners – directed by Marco Dutra and Juliana Rojas

 I’m not sure why Good Manners is titled as such (maybe it’s just an awkward translation from Portuguese?) – but am sure it’s one of the most unusual, audacious, surreal and heartfelt werewolf movies I’ve even seen. Almost all of the central characters are female – yet their lives revolve around Joel (Miguel Lobo) a little boy who just happens to be a bloodthirsty shapeshifter. Good Manners is set in present time, but it has a distinct Gothic feel to it and is in good company with moody and introspective “body horror” classics like Cat People and Rosemary’s Baby. The story is deep and searching, while the filmmaking straddles an intriguing line between everyday life and the surreal (about halfway through, it becomes a musical). The special effects to create the werewolf are truly magical and wonderful, while the suspense stays strong when needed. My only real complaint is the leisurely runtime, at a too-long 2-1/2 hours.

  I, Tonya – directed by Craig Gillespie

 Here’s the Tonya Harding story given its due – it was “the” tawdry tabloid tale of its day (1990s), but in this darkly comic tale we really get a good, hard look behind the veil (Tanya’s X-rated wedding video notwithstanding). In case you don’t know, Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in gymnastics competition, but her legacy was forever tarnished by her connection to a poorly executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan (played by Caitlin Caver). Margot Robbie is stunningly good as the fiery Harding, which is in tandem with a tour-de-force performance from Allison Janney as her acid-tongued mother, LaVona. While the movie definitely delves deep into the salacious details, it’s nuanced and layered, giving it wit and gravitas.

  Let the Corpses Tan – directed by Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani

 This highly stylized, frenzied neo-Western is the third feature by Brussels-based team Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani, a whose work never fails to stir the senses… they really know sight and sound. Story… not so much. But that’s OK. If you’re a fan of cinematic audacity, you’ll get around that and go with the flow. While I don’t think Let the Corpses Tan is as enjoyable as the pair’s past offerings – Amer (2009) and The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears (2013) – it’s still pretty damn good. Taking a break from the beautiful and ostentatious Art Nouveau and Gothic backdrops they typically celebrate, Cattet and Forzani delve into vast, dusty landscapes and the deep blue Mediterranean Sea. The action centers of a band of filthy desperadoes led by a wicked woman named Luce (Elina Löwensohn). She can handle deadly weapons with the best of them – and she’s not afraid to show her skills, as the cops on her tail soon discover. There are definite elements present from the filmmaker’s fave genre – giallo – and those in the know will catch elements of The Case of the Scorpion's Tail and Kidnapped. There’s also a heaping helping of Sergio Leone love. As usual, the filmmaking team reinvents pre-existing cuts by genre legend Ennio Morricone (and uses hit songs by 1960s sensation Nico Fidenco).

  Mrs. Hyde – directed by Serge Bozon

 The fictional characters in Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 novella – Dr. Henry Jekyll and his evil alternative personality, Mr. Edward Hyde – remain an enduring fascination for storytellers. While the idea of making Jekyll and Hyde female and setting the story in modern times is nothing new, I thought it would be refreshing to see the inimitable and legendary Isabelle Huppert take on the role. When mousy schoolmarm Mme Géquil is electrocuted in a lab accident, she transforms and gives into her repressed animal appetites. “The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it,” said Hyde in the book, diving deliriously into his baser instincts. Our heroine doesn’t dive so much as she wades. She seduces her “househusband” (José Garcia), and eats beef stew. Yup… that’s considered “wicked” behavior in this dreary, disjointed, and deadly dull parable. When Mrs. Hyde comes out at night, she’s depicted as a glowing, X-Men like figure who wanders the streets and kills indiscriminately (a bully, a pair of friendly dogs) but without the glee of a true villain. Much of the film is spent in the classroom, as Mme Géquil deals with disinterested students… And when I say much of the film, I mean “too much.” I wanted to see the classic tale of hidden identity I was promised, not a retread of Stand and Deliver. Mrs. Hyde gets a C grade, at best – thanks to the ever-watchable Huppert.
