#Ken Doll Reboot

[shares-a-vest]

Inspired by THIS picture of Joe Keery and the possibility that s4 Steve could have had the most glorious blonde highlights. we could have had it aaaaaall.

The bell chimes as Steve bursts through the glass doors of Family Video, bringing in a gust of the hot summer air with him.

"Shut the door!" Robin demands from behind the counter, lunging forward, exasperated because of course, that stupid door is getting stuck on its hinges and not closing properly right in the middle of summer. And Robin had only just managed to regulate the store's temperature after a pair of morons (aka, Mike and Will) had biked away and left it wide open.

Steve nods, looking like his blank, dingus self in his summertime attire: a baby blue polo and navy shorts that are far too short, giving Robin vivid flashbacks to their dorky Scoops uniforms. She looks down and realises he is, in fact, wearing an identical pair of blue sneakers he'd worn slinging ice creams and her mind drifts to what she could fashion in order to resurrect the 'You Suck' board. Between the outfit and his new hairstyle, he sure was regressing back to his peak 1985 lameness.

"Hi!" he announces, doing his silly little dad-jog to the counter.

"Oh my god!" Dustin shrieks, finally looking up from the VHS order catalogue he was 'helping' Robin look through.

The exclaim stirs Eddie, carefully selecting candies he is absolutely, one hundred percent going to pay for.

"Oh," he says, looking at Steve's hair, now almost entirely blonde with shining, fresh highlights. His face stays frozen in an 'o' shape as he practically collapses against the counter and holds on for dear life. Robin snickers, readying herself for some not-so-subtle teasing, but Dustin gets one in first.

"You look like a Ken doll."

Robin cackles, admittedly at her best friend's expense but, sue her. Henderson sure has a way with (bitchy) words.

Steve leans an arm on the counter, conveniently facing Eddie and smirks. "Always so complimentary, Henderson."

"Shut up, it looks good!" comes Max from the comedy aisle where she and Lucas have been standing for way too long.

Robin makes a face, knowing that all these little pocket moniless twerps are only in the store for the (not even all that good) air-conditioning.

Lucas elbows Max, offering a faint, "What the hell?"

"What?" she retorts, folding her arms. "He looks good."

The couple continues squabbling, the only intelligible words being, "he's lame", and, "but he has nice hair".

Steve runs a hand through said hair, likely knowing it's causing a store-spanning reaction because he's just that vain.

"Just got it done," he smiles like he hadn't spent the past week sitting behind the counter and not working while he was looking at hair magazines.

But he also looks like he's really only interested in impressing one very stupid, slack-jawed metalhead dressed head to toe in black despite it being the dog days of summer. Robin narrows her eyes and pokes at Eddie's bare arm in hopes of rebooting him to his annoying factory settings.

"Munson! You are being suspiciously quiet. What's say you?"

"Uhhh," he hums, looking Steve over before settling back on gawking at his goddamn hair.

"Jesus Christ!" Dustin groans, hanging his head in his hands. He gathers up his pen, paper and order catalogue and heads to the back room, continuing to act like he's an actual employee.

Eddie finally closes his mouth and gives a tight-lipped smile and Robin can practically feel Steve fawning over his devil-disguised-as-a-cherub dimples.

"It… It looks... good," Eddie mumbles, stuttering all the way and avoiding eye contact.

Robin snorts, realising the lovesick moron is just going to remain a melting puddle of goo, not worth teasing at all. She pushes off her wheely chair, sending it flying backwards as she heads for the returns trolley sitting abandoned across the store.

She misses Eddie eventually gathering himself up enough to move a step closer and quietly say, "You look pretty".

And all Steve can do is blush with a meek, "Thanks".

More Thunderbirds!

This time some doodles of my favourite OG Tracy, Mr Milkshake Pink Ken Doll (astronaut edition). So different from his redheaded, anxiety-ridden reboot counterpart and I love 'em both! 😘

Since today marks the 40th anniversary of thomas and friends (the show) I'd like to share personal story.

I first got into thomas when i was a little girl. I wasn't scared of the sudden closeups on the characters faces, or the crashes or the unmoving expressions. It was quite the opposite, i was fascinated. There was something about the vibe that drew me in. It wasnt a cartoon but it wasn't realistic either. The characters didnt have traditional voice actors yet they had a personality and charm that made me eant to see what will these guys do next.

We had tapes of the Alec Baldwin and George Carlin narrations, I used to play Make Some Happy on Repeat. I think i still have it, it's in storage and i hope to burn in onto a disc one day.

I was surprised when the show transitioned to CGI. But i still wasn't entirely against it. If anything i wanted to see where it would go. I was pleased when the show finally had dofferent VAs for the characters. Narration was great and all but i loved the idea of the guys having their own VAs and got a little tired of the female characters sounding the same. Eve. When the show started to get bad, even during the Dharon Miller era, i still got my ass up as 7 am in the morning to watch episodes on pbs kids every Sunday. I didn't care. I just liked watching colorful trains and loved seeing new characters and locations.

Thomas gotten me through some pretty rough patches in childhood, and I had a lot. It showed me a world where problems can be eaisly fixed and mistakes arent the end of the world. It taught me it was okay to ask for help, that i shouldn't tackle everything by myself. Now, you might be surprised giving i tend to criticize a lot of stuff but I am also someone who embraces change. In a way, the shoes ups and down taught me sometimes you just have ti acceot everything will not be exactly the same as you want.

It's this mindset that's currently helping me through another rough time. I admit, i was too hard all all Engins go, but watching some if the episodes I came to actually like some of it. Thought it probably helped that i got turned off by the massive backlash, I felt other fans were too harsh to the point of bein downright gross. I don't want to be like them. So i had to let go of that anger and see the positive AEG has. Ironically it was this specific incarnation that really got me into drawing fanart, which was how i came up for my Shining Time Station reboot.

Without thomas, i wouldn't have met my friends. I wouldn't have gotten back into art, since i have drawn some ttte art and even rewriting the magic railroad. Speaking of, TATMR got me into fantasy, I remmberthe first time I watched it was on HBO kids and was intrigued because it literally never referenced in the shoe and i didnt grow up with Shining Time. For all its faults I still enjoy the movie. I'm even making a custom ken doll of Junior conductor. I credit thomas for helping me find my true love with Junior, i dont care if he's fictional, he's my f/o and I care about him greatly.

As for the blue man himself, I relate to thomas a lot. We're both bossy and tempered, but we're also friendly and hardworking. We slip up and pick ourselves back up. I guess, seeing thomas handling failure has gotten me to reconsider how I've been viewing life and needing yo stop defining myself on my faults. He's flawed yet still likable and beloved, so maybe, I can have a chance too.

I used to think the color blue is overrated, moresore than pink, but thanks to rediscovering Thomas, I now admit I love the color blue. It reminds me of thomas and how i should work on improving myself and my worldviews.

So, thank you thomas and friends. Thank you for being in my childhood and reminding me Adulthood should'nt have to be a cesspool of misery. I can't wait to see what the next 40 years would bring!

"Um... you are clearly not online much, sir. Phew."

I mean yeah is is not online much, but you thinking he does not actually know what is going on then you clearly don't know him. Jensen has been subtly calling out on fandom shit for years, and you guys are just too stupid to realise it wen he is calling you out or anyone out.

"You guys".

Who is "you guys"?

The anti Danneels? The anti Jensens? The anti Jareds? Anti Mishas? I need context!

Wait. Nope. Stop right there.

Subtly calling out fandom shit. What's the loudest, if still minority?

Destiel fanatics. The hellers.

What's the second loudest, if still minority?

The Jared haters, precisely because in their mind, he's preventing Destiel from happening.

Thankfully the "We love Jared" fans are bigger in number. I mean... it's certainly why Jared had won people's choice awards after that one year Jensen did. Because Jared fans are more numerous. (Sorry, it's true.)

So what could Jensen potentially be seeing that is upsetting? The giant sized holes in his stories about family? About his wife? About the hell he's been putting up with? I hope he realizes there are people who actually give a damn as opposed to the AAs wanting their perfect Ken doll, and who don't give a fuck about his health and well-being. Who actually want him to pace himself and take good care of him because we care, as opposed to demanding him 24/7, like I've seen the AAs say.

Oh, and that there are true J2 fans out there, who aren't happy at seeing the Jared hate.

As for Danneel--well. That's on her, not Jensen. I don't subscribe to the concept that you have to love both people in a marriage. It's nonsense. Never happens in real life.

If Danneel wants positive conversation about her, maybe she ought to be a better person. A better wife. A better mother. If their kids are crying to Jensen that they miss him, that means it's bad at home. If there are people upset at how Danneel treats Jensen, maybe she needs to quit being a class F bitch and be a better person, period.

Oh, and trust me, fans are noticing that she's not doing well in terms of business given that the One Tree Hill reboot is being done without consulting the rest of the cast... just like the prequel. Two strikes. Joy and James just spoke out about how they weren't consulted about the reboot.

There's nothing to stan about Danneel. There's nothing good to stan about Misha.

There is good to stan about Jared. And in my humble opinion, there's good to stan about Jensen too.

You can't avoid negativity. It's around everywhere. Celebrities are accustomed to it. A wise celebrity would avoid it.

I only object when fans literally send death threats or wishes that the celebrity would die.

I don't do any of that. I would denounce it in a heartbeat if someone tried to claim they did it in my name. Many of the other blogs I follow are the same. @laf-outloud also stated correctly that if someone was sending Jensen death threats to let us know as we would absolutely report and block as well.

It's okay to disagree in an fandom. It's okay to have negative opinions about folks. I draw the line at outright bullying, death threats, and threats of violence.

I've already received several death threats and threats of violence from fanatical AAs and hellers.

Why do you think I kept anon asks off for a while?

Nice talkin' to ya.

[ifonlyitwasmidnight]

This might be a short request but if you do head canons

Can you do (any character of your choice from Tokyo revengers) the boys reactions to being called "babygirl" by their s/o? 💀

Have a great day(or night) and have some fun! Lmao ᰔᩚ

Thank you for being so patient! Life got wild, lemme tell ya.

Anyways, here you go! I hope you enjoy. I spent quite a few minutes giggling over some of these.

↳ 𝚔𝚊𝚣𝚞𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚊

It was a beautiful day out. Shining sun, warm weather, and your boyfriend looked so darn cute that you couldn't help it...

"Hey, baby girl!" You said in a sing-song voice as you walked up and threw your arms around his neck.

Kazutora.exe has stopped working. Did you just call him "baby girl?"

He instantly missed the normal pet names you used for him.

He's just sort of standing there, dumb founded while his brain reboots and the tips of his ears turn red.

You finally realize he hasn't returned your hug, too wrapped up in little giggles over your silly, innocent prank. When you pulled back, you noticed the worry on his brow.

" 'Tora?"

"What happened to 'love'?" The words were said so softly.

"Handsome, it was just a silly joke." You pulled him back into a hug, a little tighter this time, and he buried his head into the crook of your neck. You felt him relax as things returned to normal. His arms were tight when they finally wrapped around you.

"You're baby girl."

↳ 𝚛𝚊𝚗

You were bored. Scrolling through your phone, you came across a simple text, "call your boyfriend, baby girl and see how they react."

Why not? It could be funny.

Ran was lying on a nearby couch with his eyes closed, a small uptick in his smirk as he heard you approaching.

You leaned over the back of the couch, looking down at him.

"I'm bored, baby girl."

This guy. Impassive. Unbothered. Completely unfazed.

His eyes don't even open. Not bothering to dignify you with a response to your antics.

He was so used to you pulling jokes like this that all he did was sigh.

"Try again."

"Sweet cheeks?"

"Negative."

"Baby doll."

"One more try, or your ass is getting ignored for the rest of the day."

Your face fell at the empty threat, your lower lip jutting out in a pout.

"Ran," you whined, and he cracked an eye open. "That's not very nice, babe."

"There ya go. C'mon, you little brat. Let's go."

↳ 𝚍𝚛𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚗

You knew it was a bad idea. But Mikey had dared you! With Doroyaki on the line, you'd do it.

"Go call Ken-chin 'baby girl' Just once. It'll be funny."

So here you were, swaying your hips as you walked up to Draken, instantly catching his eye. He leaned back in his chair, wholly transfixed with you.

Your fingers slid under his chin like he would normally do to you when he was looking for a kiss. Your voice was sultry when you finally spoke after working up the nerve.

"Hi, baby girl."

Draken's eyebrow slowly rose, hiking up in a sharp arc.

"Baby girl, huh?"

He knew you were playing at something. Trying to get a rise out of him.

Draken was never one to step down for putting you in your place, though.

This man was on his feet in seconds, tossing you over his broad shoulder, toting you away from the group.

You noticed the look on his face a moment too late, that shift in his demeanor, and you knew you were in for it.

"Lemme remind you, who exactly is the 'baby girl' in this relationship, hm?"

The loud smack he landed on your ass and Mikey's booming laughter followed you all the way out of the room.

Behold!

Back in the middle of October, @datasgirlfriend mentioned someone should make an edit of Face, the living, breathing Ken doll, to I'm just Ken. I was busy with the OC Halloween Challenge at the time, but that's over now and I get to be busy with other things. Mainly the OC Masterlist reboot I've been meaning to do since September but had to stop doing because of the challenge, as far as this blog is concerned.

I’m looking to put together information about glue head in Mattel’s dolls from 2006 to the 2016 reboot. Specifically if some dolls or price points were exempt. The reason being that it’s increasingly hard to get information more than a decade old out of google. Please boost and add any information or links you have.

Obviously we know about Monster High G1 but do we know which dolls are exempt (other than Create a Monster obvs)? Basics Jane Boolittle has been glue free the 3 times I’ve had her in hand, does that extend to her other dolls?

A few days ago I got out Mattel-Disney Tiana for the beehive tutorial and she had glue head that was treated within a few hours. Does that extend to all Disney princesses by Mattel (ie: a bunch of Rapunzels)

I assume all the articulated Fashionistas have glue head as they were playline but does that include the swapping styles heads and Ken? I think Barbie Basics is affected but all of them? The collector Landmarks? Twilight? Toy Story? So in Style? 

Here are some links to doll galleries: if you know of dolls that are without seepage please say so!

The Ken House Part 1

I have the juice to write again a bit so I will

Drop stories here and there.

Henry

Henry is definitely not my favorite person in the world he is the vain assistant I hired initially after I started to work regularly he is a something alright.

A pretty boy I would be shocked to see leave a mirror if he did not have to work so petty and fucking vain one day I had enough in anger.

I am planning to fire him today that is till I spotted it my eyes locking on it wired box in a mirror the man stands tending to it as I enter the room.

As soon as my hand touches the odd shape door handle shoving it forward the cool air exits in to the room dragging me in to it with a quick sweep.

The door slams shut behind me in a huff find myself sitting in a chair behind a desk in a workshop with large wooden life like dolls apparently.

I rise to my feet noticing each extended area of the room has a letter attached I walk past my area and down the aisle titled L ending up with a strange box.

One is titled Master Lawrence I pick up the treasure box and the letter next to it opening it up a key falls in to my hand it’s clearly a one do kind.

Fitting perfectly in to the key hole I turn to pop open the top of the box only to see a strange gust of air filter our covering the room.

I can’t escape losing my breath I faint falling to my knees I go unconscious completely left unprotected till morning where I find myself under my power.

I roll on to my back, surveying everything In the room I am locked in to a form standing by a mirror unable to do anything but to stare.

“Oh My God! Henry are you there? Hello?”

“Out to lunch as per usual”

“What the fuck?”

“Hello! Henry Doll is activated”

“You acquired my soul last night”

“This is a synthetic body made of the real one.”

“It’s perfect in every way”

“Just for you “

“Play with me”

“As you wish”

Henry spins on his feet to face me head on I am at lost for words, he moves to the side of the room.

The mirror turns on blowing up in a brighter gold color emits blasting in my face silver letters appear in a sentence very bold for me to see.

Clear as day sign the contract to Real Dolls mirror or he will be removed from this room and you will never see him again this was his own doing.

“I am cruel and vain you pointed that out the same day this mirror was offered online.”

“I thought I could see my superiority even better when in fact it led to my doom.”

“They helped me to see my real place at your feet.”

“I am now a Real Doll”

“Accept me as yours?”

“Yes, you are my Master now and let’s play “

Tom

I command Henry to sit for me as he plops on to the bed and I exit the room down the lengthy staircase.

It is a beautiful golden spiral one like I have never seen in my life quite magnificent to snow off.

I hit the bottom step to see a familiar face my person chef Tom in his glories fully put together.

He is decorated in his chefs hay covering that chisel forehead, his body cover with a chefs apron.

He looks pretty sexy I have to say cooking away he has no idea I am here he stops for a split second.

His eyes start shift colors as his pupils grow and shrink size his mind is mind copulated over and over again.

I notice the culprit instantly showcasing it all to me the glass mirror reflection on the oven door is glowing gold as well right in to his face.

He stops cold mindlessly emptying away in to a state of nothingness he falls on to his ass hard.

I crack up knowing he soon will join the rank as one of my Ken Dolls I party in a huge type of celebration.

The great part of this is my last bit effort to sign the contract I could feel the last of all my morals holding me back but I broke free of it.

“Sorry! He is mine now”

“His eyes go completely black

“I can’t wait for you to reboot”

“His eyes glow red”

“In progress”

“Processing”

“Optimal levels up”

“Completed”

“What would you like for breakfast sire?”

“It’s everything I wanted and more.”

“I want the usual”

“Serving next”

“Coming right up”

“I hope your palate is ready”

“Here is your plate”

“Just as your ordered”

“Eggs, bacon, sausage, toast and more”

“Did I do well?”

“Absolutely”

“Feels wonderful to hear”

“Hell yes!”

Chris

Falling a sleep that afternoon I did not order or expect my two Dolls to get to work on a plan they hatched.

They walk out the front door making sure to lock up behind them crossing the floor to the apartment next door.

Tom kicks the door open entering the third door as they pass through the room in utter excitement.

Chris eyes open up in shock at the two odd looking crazy guys standing at his door they waltz in.

They both grab one end of his body forcing him to the floor dragging him across the floor to my apartment.

“Who the hell are you? What are you doing to me?”

“LET ME GO!”

“Ssssssshhhhhhhh”

“Zip your mouth”

“The constraints of life will soon be over”

“I promise you! Mwahahaha”

“Relax! Don’t move”

“Sssshhhhhhh!”

“HELP!”

“Aaaaaaahhhh”

“What pretty colors”

“So beautiful “

“Follow the light”

“Enter the mirror “

“I own you now”

“Become one us”

“Yeah! One us”

“I surrender”

“Go sit for Master and wait”

“I love you “

“Wake up soon”

“My love “

“I am your everything “

“My world”

“My existence “

The end

Round One - Wave Two

Information on these Sallys: Both these versions of Sally were featured in the Archie Sonic Comics during the Pre-SGW (pre-reboot) Era Future Sally - Light Mobius is exactly that, a future version of Sally from a timeline known as "Light Mobius". This is basically the "main" future Sally featured in the comics. She appears many times, from Ken Penders's infamous "Mobius: 25 Years Later" to having an editorial mandated short and unhappy marriage to Shadow to finally settling down with Sonic. In this future, Sally and Sonic have two kids together, called Manik and Sonia in a homage to the characters from Sonic Underground, although Manic's name is spelled differently. If you're interested in learning more about this version of Sally, then what I've written here is honestly a short blurb compared to all the detail over on her wikia entry Pre-SGW Sally - Kid is a very clunky way of saying that this is the kid version of Sally from before the reboot. Sally was actually shown as a kid in three different continuities: SatAM, Pre-SGW Archie and Post-SGW Archie. All three of them have been included in this tournament. They have largely the same origins of being a young princess who's father was sealed away by Dr. Robotnik, causing Sally and her friends to flee to the Great Forest to hide from him and grow up learning to fight him. I quite like the Pre-SGW version of kid Sally, because she has a slightly different outfit from the other versions. On this image, she's holding a doll of Chun-Li from Street Fighter

[icelogged]

accidentally unfollowed while sending this ask lol anyways

https://www.autostraddle.com/75-ken-dolls-ranked-by-lesbianism-383518/

that's the one i posted (not a huge fan of the mermaid ken text idk what they wanted to say) but :)

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

thanks for sharing!!! i decided to react to every single one as well! and had so much fun doing it— did some extra research ;3cc 🔬 ;3c too ;3

i actually read an article like this before, it was only regarding the reboot kens and they referred to them as male exes or men you see on dating apps i think? anyways this article is better imo

so all of them could be my ex gf because i’m horrible and greedy and think everyone in the whole wide world is gorgeous no take backs

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ = the ones i could hypothetically crush, date, etc rn

long post as there are 75 kendalls :3

75. i love her!!!! i’d love to see a same sex pair skating competition!! yuri on ice ;3 *bad joke booing*

74. my funky 90s gyal pal. there is an actual lesbian out there who wore this in the 90s. she is now someone’s cool lesbian aunt.

73. depop legend who could collab with the sims 4 type of girl. i can see us being friends :3

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 72. oh no, i can see now.. probably would have a meet cute moment in the library 💔 i would have such a bad crush on this kendall. i feel like there could be shared attraction but she’d end up not liking my personality :(

71. erm rude! i’d give her a chance, fusion music can be cool. hope she’s into sharing sweaters with friends and lovers because that looks comfy. and her band / group looks so fun!! loving the hair on the dolls of colour!!!

70. i know her and her wife! they have that really cool couple swag! anyways i babysit their kids

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 69. 2000s tomboy…💍…

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 68. we met a free optional donation ticket community centre event for showcasing people who customize their clothing or make their own stuff from scratch. she’s going to a, in her words “crappy art school” but at least she has access to a studio. that’s where she made her sweater ? bomber jacket ? they sell pretty well on instagram

67. “Cameron: She’d def welcome you to the neighborhood with a jell-o creation. maybe a casserole”. literally

66. 2000s lesbian celebrity’s gf ?

65. weird femme icon. my girlie pop. if lesbians had fag hags i’d be one for her.

64. we have beef though even though we’ve never had an one on one conversation ໒꒰ྀི｡-︵-꒱ྀིა she just doesn’t like my vibes i guess. i probably think her brother is ‘kinda hot’... maybe that’s why. “Says she got her outfit at Goodwill, actually got it at Urban Outfitters” <- fact

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 63. i would do anything for her, i would be so down bad… if she started info dumping about marine ecosystems i would have to propose. she’d invite me (with a group, not one on one) to every beach clean up event and i’d try very hard not to be weird. in the picture used on the organizers’ instagram i’d be standing beside her and blushing really hard and i’d look back on that picture and laugh at myself :’3…. not sure if she could love me though.. i don’t think my feelings would be reciprocated at all. i am imagining her in her early to mid 30s for some reason? anyways she doesn’t date too far outside of her age range to begin with so my chance were not to nothing anyways. when i’m finally over her and tell that i had a crush on her she’s surprised because she had no idea but literally everyone else and their mom knew. wow really got into this one! um…. i really like bodies of water so

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 62. if i ever date— she’s either going to be the ex that ruined my life or my life partner. all i know is the good times would be really good. i feel like she’d respect me in a way others do not for some reason.

61. omg is that kurt kunkle in his hype beast fit?

60. i love her books / favourite author

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 59. im not worthy /lh

58. our circles wouldn’t cross

57. she looks fun and like she has the sweetest heart ever. she gives me city only girl vibes so we’d just be mutuals that compliment each other very enthusiastically

56. lesbians… should try that fit.. everyone should try that fit….

55. i don’t know. i need to know more about her. i feel she’d wanna go to edm music festivals and that isn’t really my scene. probably has a popular ig or tumblr for being hot and getting more masc people to wear crop tops again

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 54. “Even your grandmother who was only so-so about you dating women loves Dr. Ken. Like your whole family is so obsessed with Dr. Ken that they don’t even care that she’s not Jewish and they’re like, hang on to this one, don’t fuck it up! And you’re like YEAH I KNOW as if having a perfect girlfriend isn’t stressful enough already” LITERALLY. plus she has a kid ? or we have a kid???? hi tommy you angel! 🤍🤍🤍 id be the luckiest little thing under the sun. like she’s the best. ms. treat you right. i cannot stress this is the best lover you’ll ever have. also i get the vibe that i’d be her princess :3

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 53. NEED HER. two vibes that’s just her or that’s her drag king persona either is good.

52. i feel like she’d decide she wouldn’t be into me at first glance and or find me annoying

51. “Ken has a house in Saratoga mostly decorated with stuff she picked up in New Mexico when she lived there for a minute back in the ’80s. She’s very sweet and inquisitive and she has two large dogs she loves to pieces but you know what now that you mention it, she never really liked camping as much as the other girls did. Another love would be women’s music, of course”. agree 🤍

50. that’s her service animal actually. i feel like we’d be really good friends or at least enjoy working on our photography together.

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 49. “Art Director Ken is an asshole to everybody except you and her entire apartment is white and spotless even though she has a dog. She takes you to cool events—”. and no, i don’t have a crush on the dog walker— i am the dog walker in this scenario. we had a good time together but it couldn’t last because of the whole rude to people thing. i can imagine her being bitchy to someone in food service and then i’d just loose it and it would be over.

48. “Valerie: She started an all-female Warblers in protest of the original and they only sing songs made famous by men but they don’t change the pronouns”. never met her but i watch her group on youtube <333

47. old butch and that is a picture of when she was my age that she showed me on her really comfy couch

46. need more information, for some reason i’m getting nothing but the one earring is working on me

45. weren’t we all Cool Lookin’ Ken at one point in our lives

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 44. i’m in love with her. whether the pants are “zip off at the knee” or not is very important. we want want answers mattel !

43. of course Jasika Nicole has a wife. how did i not know that

42. i want to watch whatever film she’s in. give me a lesbian western pls

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 41. ok i lied the first time. actually i need her. need to be in the same room as her. i’d actually want my feelings to be reciprocated by her. i want to hold her hand at backyard experimental art showings. we met at a showing of a film by some gay boy in film school who i thought was hot. the film was good. i think he could be a household name some day but he’s like anti-industry and wants to stay underground so i’m like why spend money film school then? later Adventure Ken tells me his parents are loaded so that explains that. anyways we road trip a lot together i hope we’re in love.

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 40. “She goes by her Roller Derby name on Facebook because she doesn’t want her toxic stepfather to find her. She’s a really loyal friend and a downright incredible girlfriend and always puts safety first”. agreed. roller derby girl ! you are my world !

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 39. …you know what i’m going say… not be fooled i don’t have ‘types’ (grew out of that quickly, thank you horrible situations) but yeah just look like some older girlbrother in a 2000s or 2010s show and at the very least i’d want to cuddle with you :/ anyways i hope we’re seeing a horror movie on our date and i hope she’s real

38. “Jenna: yeah she’s always the sensitive one when she and her friends pretend to be a boy band” we couldn’t have that fun we’re friends but with undertone of romance vibe i like to have with my friends because she’d catch feelings feelings and i wouldn’t reciprocate because i have crush one of the other girls in the boy band. “boi band” sounds so 2013 to me maybe 2011? 2012?

37. one of the new ones! “Cameron: you think she’s gonna tell you about how we live in a post-gender, post-racial society but she surprises you by being super woke & you’re totally disarmed & you kind of hate yourself for it” <- this description is too good and too real. i’d see her at a gsa and go oh god she’s probably calls herself an activist online but she’s going to make weird comments about my heritage— but she’s actually on the ground and literally making changes in the community. also she has two dads that have been on the ground since they knew they could and instilled so much love and wisdom into their daughter. and i smack myself all the time about it because i thought i stopped judging people. anyways she has a fiancé who is pregnant, they very happy. i am invited to the baby shower but not the wedding. anyways i baked them stuff and got good at fibre art just make sure my handmade shower gifts were good enough. might be an uncle or godmother after all this.

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 36. “Dufrau: She seems very attentive
Stef: Bringing you sodas
putting on some mood music
even answering your phone
Molly: ‘hey babe i saw your twitter rants today and picked up some calming lavender bath bombs’” ✅✅

35. we all know her. either your friend’s ex or cousin. after she grows out of her fuckboy phase she really cool and neat

34. she’s on the food network and when you saw her at 9 years old you were like whoa. her instagram is so golden because she has really nice pictures of food, her wife and family— pets included!

33. “Ken just got to Los Angeles from Missouri and before moving had really only ever hooked up with straight girls (there was like this whole THING in high school). She isn’t looking for a relationship, but she keeps falling in love with incredible women / making out with strangers at The Abbey / not knowing what to do with all these new feelings” yes she also thirst traps a lot

32. “Dufrau: She dated two of my best friends sophomore year of college and ive never forgiven her for her behavior
Sarah: Cutie Fashionista Ken is the first time you get a dyke spike after listening to Viz by Le Tigre
Cameron: Cutie Fashionista Ken kept trying to be the Shane of the friend group” literally, enough said

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 31. i made her that shirt don’t laugh. she approached me, idk why but i was really surprised she liked me. anyways we’re really happy. i’m SO thankful she has an apartment. we have picturesque mornings.

30. “This is a lesbian who usually dresses on the masc side but always femmes it up for a thematic dance”. literally so much fun. friend met her and now we’re all buds. her parents are literally saints and her grandmother is always feeding me.

29. she’s obviously taken. anyways they’re the rich lesbian couple at the tennis club.

28. ??? i am missing a reference here?

27. another cool celebrity lesbian’s wife

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 26. “Jenna: she likes to cuddle
Dufrau: she has a great haircut” hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii home dates with her are bliss. her mom thinks i’m really pretty and our relationship helps her unlearn homophobic and transphobic opinions. me and her dad have something in common, like a silly quirk or hobby, favourite thing etc. he’s also a closet bisexual. when Hip Hoodie Ken and i move into together her dad comes out. by then her mom is chill and is the first check the homophobic aunties when try and say something about her daughter or husband.

25. had a crush on her when i was 11. thought she was so cool ! my favourite camp counsellor ever !! can play the guitar and does silly songs at the campfire and has that “let’s give all to god tonight” christian lesbian swag during chapel. charismatic angel. met her girlfriend at church.

24. haven’t seen this barbie movie and don’t plan to. i agree with mey— “Mey: No that’s rainbow dash the lesbian pony from my little pony”

23. i know who gigi but idk who nats is. anyways these barbies are giving lesbian influencer couple. searched them up— so they were a lesbian influencer couple at the time of this article. omg gigi is married slay! t4t love wins

22. curious about her, need more info

21. “Dufrau: She hosts a children’s show but adults watch because she is so soothing” yes and she is her city’s children’s pride marshal. mother of 3. her wife is like a cook? food ? influencer. like she cooks really yummy looking stuff and is huge on social media and is sometimes a guest judge on cooking shows. maybe she’ll get a netflix cooking show deal soon

20. i need that belt more than her

19. “Cameron: this is the outfit my friend wore to her bachelorette party. i’m not joking” so true. again we know or have seen this lesbian.

18. her family is crazy but they have money. she’s lowkey classist and ableist :///

17. good for them i guess

16. i saw this one in walmart “Cameron: this is just every summer gay.”

15. “Cameron: also every summer gay
Jenna: I feel like cali-cool said she would call you back, but she definitely didn’t call you back. And even though you didn’t really WANT her to call you back, it’s the principle of the thing”. yuh

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 14. i know her! she makes her own cider it’s so good. she’s really good at gifting people. she likes soup. i like wrapping her in blankets and giving her hot chocolate. we could 100% kiss and fall in love.

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 13. “Cameron: she helped me find a book i was looking for a gender studies research paper & suggested something better”. looking! for! her!

12. “Art Director Ken #2 is also an asshole but you deal with it ’cause she always gets bottle service for the table and has lots of stories about Closeted Power Lesbian parties in Palm Springs that happened in the late ’80s / early ’90s and she’s your only source regarding the possibility of Jada Pinkett-Smith being bisexual” only that one of my friends is dating her and that’s how i get the tea

11. “Cameron: She lost her snapback on a rollercoaster at Universal Studios. Will not let you forget it” <-

10. “Mey: Big brother ken is def a hot lesbian mom
Jenna: yeah, and she also owns a subaru
Mey: She ignores Sarah Pfefferman at PTA meetings” yuh!💞💞💞

9. 2010s lesbian character on abc(?)

8. “This outfit cost $400” true and i could literally get for $35 with the most expensive part being the shoes that i got a charity shop. the rest i got from walmart. anyways i’m making her autistic for some reason but we can’t be friends because she spent $400 dollars on that outfit.

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 7. :::/ *ignores that* ANYWAYS like i’ve let it slip i’m a fresh water mermaid but she looks more salt water </3 star crossed lovers

6. THIS IS LITERALLY SOMEONE’S EX THAT I KNOW OH MY GOD ITS LITERALLY [REDACTED] LOLLLLLLLLL. it was the lesbian divorce of the century [break up they weren’t actually married]

꒰აꨄ︎໒꒱ 5. also know her. we are mutuals on this very tumblr. and btw she’s SO tired of the villainization of southern [us]americans

4. wow nothing else needs to be said. molly is repping that Barbie Dreamhouse Ken swag

3. i remember this one very clearly for some reason. congratulations jenna for being Distressed Denim Ken (2017). maybe the kens were the lesbians we met along the way.

2. LOL i’m obsessed with the side by side lesbian matching. Hi Riese’s gf!

1. i loved reading about the design and creation process of this ken in particular! even looked for it online. idk if i’d actually buy the doll but yeah. “Alaina: “Did they consult Brittani Nichols for this doll? Because this doll is Brittani Nichols.” factual

and this was so fun thank you em <3

i looked at the related articles and found this gem ! real gaydies showing how we are all just lesbian ken

i’m not going go through each because those are real people and i feel like that would be kinda creepy BUT hello to “Lisa / 54 / Professor / Pittsburgh, PA” and Hillary “Scald Eagle” is such a cool name! everyone SERVED ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 i am still recovering. the comment section has really good stuff too :’3

as an aside i’ve now learned that there are a lot of lesbian teachers in the world. maybe education will be saved…

anyways thanks again for this i had so much fun !

My ocs as Barbie and Ken 🫶🫶

The Barbie movie is so special to me. It's honestly so rare to find things so unabashedly feminine and FOR girls (or people who grew up with those things) with everything getting the dark and gloomy or "girlboss" treatment nowadays. Society treats anything cute and feminine as either a joke (see all those gags that are just men wearing frilly dresses? Or feminine characters that are treated as dumb and shallow?) or a weakness that girls have to grow out of at some point.

It was SOOO amazing seeing all the boys and girls at the cinema dressed in pink and hearing everyone talking about what dolls they had or which movies they grew up with. It was kinda surreal because this was one of the few times I actually felt like I (and probably so many other people) was included in the crowd. Like YES, I also trashed a few barbies here and there when I was younger, oh my god that's THE earring magic Ken, and hey, I also watched the old Barbie movies!

It feels so fucking good finally being able to be a part of something that was targeted towards ME and people like me, who usually don't get to have anything this BIG. Like sure, Barbie is huge, but it is so rare for something so pink and girly to be this talked about.

Anyway, on another note, the opening scene where we're introduced to Barbieland and all the barbies nearly made me tear up. It is so rare to see so many women from different walks of life with their own careers and skills, all treated as intelligent and confident, and most importantly, uplifting each other. I'm so tired of seeing the catty female rivals trope, especially if there's a man involved. Sometimes all I want is to see girls be friends with each other, like in real life.

Anyway, with the massive success of the Barbie movie, I hope filmmakers (specifically male ones hoping to make a quick buck under the guise of "girl power") will take the hint and stop making fake girlboss movies and riverdale-ing perfectly good feminine and fun shows. I also hope that it pushes more female (or non-male focused) movies into the spotlight. That doesn't mean that they all have to be pink and shiny, but well yk, it's about time they diversify their color palettes anyway.

But whatever that's all about Barbie and movies 🫶 I sure hope that new Winx reboot will be good. And while they're doing reboots why doesn't Japan go ahead and give us a Mermaid Melody reboot 😁

ok for funsies

sr 2 frank aka frank prime

sr3 frank aka close-ish

frank remastered aka who is this stranger on my screen ???

i literally installed sr3 just to write down my sliders from scratch bc i could figure out why he didnt look right and i think its his nose??? (now aside from that the second thing u may notice is difference in nip color yes i noticed it too idk what thats abt 🤨 ???) the light brown hair is too warm in game it looks yellow he looks like a sad ken doll :( ive tweaked him a lot since to try n fix cutscenes at least (including lightening his skin </3) but omg its sooo. mm. not him ig idk. (i dont even wanna try to make vaughn i kno they would chew her up n spit her out :(((() oh one more note, the remastered eyes having the same asset/texture w/e as the original is so jarring for some reason </3

NOW FOR THE REAL FUNSIES: rebooted frank

IMO closest iteration to sr2 og him !!! rly happy w/ the reboot's engine like maybe they could have added more but genuinely its a fun cc to play around in <333

they gave fucking alister wonderland a doll but not sparrow hood?? love alister no offense but he was introduced sm later on in the show and the doll looks like a ken reject. sparrow's character had such a cool design and deserved a doll way more. in addition alister also got a doll with bunny blanc set. such an irrelevant character since the show got cancelled. i wish they focused on making more dolls of the og characters instead of the soft reboot dolls. so lame.
