#Named her Chelsie

[rationales]

Chelsie Baham wins BB26 7-0, making history as the first unanimous female winner, the second black female winner, the third black winner, and the first black winner to play a perfect game!

[sexologii]

Tucker know he crazy 😭

[fetchphillips]

Rubina: Have there been other Chelsies?

Chelsie: Yeah but they're usually spelled different

Rubina: I meant on the show

Chelsie: Oh... I don't think so

[barbielore]

I've mentioned before how, with the Barbie line now spanning 65 years, names have been reused for different characters - off the top of my head, the Barbie line contains both a Stacey and a Stacie, a Chelsie and a Chelsea, two different Ryans, either two or three different Nikkis depending on how you interpret the canon.

There are also two different Whitneys, which is the one on which I would like to focus today - mostly because I wouldn't have thought of Whitney as a popular enough name to see a duplication, and especially not a duplication so close together.

Whitney, friend of Barbie, first appeared in 1986 as Jewel Secrets Whitney.

I find this release so elegant for a playline doll; I actually love it. It also happened to come with a "24 page Whitney storybook" telling the story of how she keeps the secret that she is going to give Barbie an award for Most Glamourous Woman of the Year.

She appeared again as Nurse Whitney and Perfume Pretty Whitney in 1987, and Style Magic Whitney in 1988. That was the end of her appearances in the doll line in the US - but she made one final appearance in a European-exclusive in 1991.

But only three short years later, a new Whitney appeared.

This Whitney was much younger, being a friend of Barbie's athletic tweenage sister Stacie rather than a peer of Barbie herself. Although sometimes depicted with brown hair, this Whitney was more commonly redheaded, and frequently depicted with glasses.

Making her one of only a small handful of named, regular glasses-wearing characters in the doll line.

There's nothing particularly funny or untoward about a second Whitney, but given the short span between the releases, I do have to wonder... why didn't they just give young Whitney a different name?

[bklynmusicnerd]

Listen, there was a version of this season where Makensy comped her ass off in the name of dull ass Matt instead of villainous church girl Chelsie.

So, as meh as things might seem now, they could have been so much worse.

Getting Blood from a Turnip

There was never a $100 million dollar Netflix deal. There was never a $20 million dollar Spotify deal.

Sparry said "it's not about the money." Sparry's brother (Wills) donated the full amount of his settlement.

We'll know the full anount of the (allegedly small) settlement when:

The Meghans pay 50% to the US government in taxes

Sparry financially compensates Chelsy Davy for dragging her name through the mud

The Meghans SHOW UP with a GIANT Check from their personal coffers (not archeFRAUD) made payable to the LA disaster relief.

Poor thing is a real basket case:

[rodspace]

Leah on the feeds calling Tucker Mr. Derogatory Terms and Chelsie backing her up talking about how she protected his character and his name only further confirming what’s being said about everyone’s favorite “Unproblematic” white man if you asked me.

[charlixcxashtray]

chelsie on feeds saying she wants to name her future daughter "ocean rose"

[thewingedwolf]

power seems to be stressing angela the fuck out i’m worried about her

matt never stops talking my god

mj is losing her mind already

despite having no power, cedric and chelsie have managed to get into alliances that may protect them this week

quinn and joseph seem very well insulated

everyone’s being careful about naming alliances for now

kenney might catch a stray this week

[blanketingg]

the thing with leah is i too would devolve into a childish mess if basically every single other person i was stuck with was villianizing me to a degree way out of proportion from my actual sins in the game (which is why i could never go on this show) but the longer you isolate the longer you allow chelsie to control the narrative against you (same as what happened when t’kimo hid for a day after the cedric flip). only way to change that is to talk to people you may feel some type of way about right now. i also think it’s a bit fruitless to try to go at chelsie through mj while chelsie still holds the power and influence in the house (despite mj being her longest, personally second strongest connection). it may seem counter-intuitive but i think she needs to start from the outside in with rubina and kimo and along with quinn try to have earnest conversations with them (no yapping in circles! leah! leah! no yapping!) about the extent to which chelsie tarnished her name. then work her way back to the chelsie loyalists once she’s let the gossip and retells cook a bit and see if an anti-chelsie sentiment is easier to get off the ground.

[anonymoushouseplantfan]

She does SEO with every freaking royals and even Chelsy Davy. It’s impossible to search Charlotte Casiraghi for example without being flooded by images of megs. It’s so fucking annoying.

Yep, even Tamara Falco gets Meghan content attached to her, which probably drives her wild because she’s using the same strategy to associate her name to Diana and Kate but she mostly gets Meghan. That’s how it works.

2024 Q4 Fundie Happenings

Here's what's been going on in fundieland in the last 3 months.

Duggar Family

Jason + Maddie (Jones) get married on October 3. They set a new record for shortest engagement at just 40 days.

Jinger + Jeremy announce that they are expecting Baby #3 in March.

Jeremiah + Hannah announce that they are expecting Baby #3, a girl, in the spring.

Anna (Keller) Duggar is photographed, leading some folks to speculate about her weight gain. (Y'all. Not every woman who gains weight is pregnant. Especially not one whose husband is in prison.)

Jedidah + Katey are due to welcome their twin daughters any day now. It would be kind of neat if they came the day I'm posting this (Dec 30), as that is also Jed and Jer's birthday.

Bates Family

Katie + Travis bring home baby Harvey Gray. Harvey was born on September 29 and had some health issues that required him to be hospitalized for several days.

Nathan + Esther welcome babe Graham Alan, born October 4.

Trace + Lydia announce they are expecting Baby #2, a rainbow baby following their loss early in 2024.

Rodrigues Family

Jill Rodrigues posts the "official courtship photos" of Samuel + Brianne, which were taken at Tim's wedding the month before.

Just after Christmas, all photos of Samuel + Brianne disappear, leading to speculation that the pair has called it off.

Other Fundie Families

John + Chelsy (Bontrager) Maxwell welcome Baby #4, Weston Joe. Weston comes after a 3+ year gap between babies, following Maddie Sue's premature birth and Chelsy's health issues. I'm kind of impressed they waited that long to have another--here's hoping both Chelsy and Weston stay in good health.

Cleve + Lise Morton welcome Baby #7, Thomas Ezekiel.

Sam + Alyssa (Campana) Morton are expecting Baby #7. This appears to be the longest gap in between pregnancies so far.

According FJ, Loren Wissmann has said they are expecting 4 grandkids right now. We know about Jer + Hannah, but the rest are unknown. (My guess is Jana, Katrina, and Michelle.)

Elizabeth Wissmann is in a relationship with a man named Zane Buhr.

Speculation abounds around the Anderson family, from reports that Steve was committed to the psych ward back in October to reports from the adult children about the abuse they endured at home.

What all did I miss?

There are more meanings of Barbie characters' names?

I'll go through the whole list of Barbie's family and friends from Wikipedia for all the characters I didn't list before.

Barbie's family members

George (her father): "Farmer."

Margaret (her mother): "Pearl."

Tutti (her discontinued sister): An Italian word that means "all" – best known in the US from "tutti frutti" ("all fruits"), a term for mixture of chopped candied fruits or for sweets with a mixed fruit flavor. For Barbie's sister, it must be a nickname.

Francie (her cousin): Short for Frances, meaning "Frenchwoman."

Jazzie (another cousin): Jazz is a style of music; the slang term "jazzy" means bright, colorful, and showy, like the music. It could also be a nickname for Jasmine. It's obviously a nickname, at any rate.

Kirsten (another cousin): "Christian."

Lulu (another cousin): Probably short for Louise or Louisa, meaning "famous in battle," or for Lucinda or Lucia, meaning "light," or for Lucille, meaning "little light."

Millicent (her aunt): "Strong in work" or "unceasing strength."

Adele (another aunt): "Noble."

Female friends (she's had so many!)

Raquelle: "Ewe."

Grace: Self-evident.

Stacey: Derived from Anastasia, meaning "resurrection," or from Eustacia, meaning "fruitful."

P.J.: Unknown; we'd need to know what her initials stand for.

Steffie: Short for Stephanie, meaning "crown" or "wreath."

Cara: "Beloved."

Whitney: "White island."

Miko: "Delicious" or "entertaining."

Kira: "Young" or "black."

Becky: Short for Rebecca, meaning "tie" or "snare."

Kayla: Derived from Catherine, meaning "far off" or "pure."

Lea: "Weary."

Jamie: "Heel-grabber" or "supplanter."

Kelley: "Bright-headed."

Devon: "Calf" or "fawn."

Tracy: "Warlike" or "fierce."

Nia: "Bright" or "purpose."

Viky: Short for Victoria, meaning "victory."

Tara Lynn: Tara means "elevated place" or "star"; Lynn means "lake."

Lara: "Citadel."

Drew: Originally a male name derived from Andrew, meaning "manly."

Melody: Self-evident.

Simone: "Listening."

Shannen: A variant of Shannon, the name of a river in Ireland, which probably comes from a root word meaning "old" or "ancient."

Maiko: "Child in a linen robe" or "dancing child."

Harper: "Harp maker."

Renee: "Reborn."

Daisy: "Daisy flower," of course.

Tia: "Aunt."

Courtney: "Short nose."

Desiree: "Desired."

Ling: "Spirit" or "bell."

Dee Dee: Unknown; originally a nickname for anyone whose name started with D.

Dana: "God is my judge" or "wise."

Diva: A term for a singing star (especially an arrogant one), from the Italian word for "goddess." Obviously a nickname.

Tori: Short for Victoria, meaning "victory."

Susie: Short for Susan, meaning "lily."

Nichelle: A cross between Nicole, meaning "victory of the people," and Michelle, meaning "Who is like God?"

Marissa: "Of the sea."

Ana: "Grace" or "favor."

Gabbie: Short for Gabriella, meaning "God is my strength."

Chelsie: "Chalk wharf."

Marie: "Bitter," "drop of the sea," or "beloved."

Mari: "Truth," among other possible meanings.

Mariko: "Child of truth" or "jasmine child," among other possible meanings.

Isla: "Island."

Male friends

Blaine: "Yellow."

Derek: "Ruler of the people."

Curtis: "Courteous."

Todd: "Fox."

Steven: "Crown" or "wreath."

Kurt: "Brave counsel."

Ryan: "Little king."

Barbie's younger siblings have lots of friends too, but I'd be here all day if I tried to look up their names' meanings too.

[moonssugar]

i dont think i know any of your ocs off the top of my head BUT!!! 👑🧸🐾 :3

👑: person who raised your oc and/or was important during their formative years

i love this ask! for my character chelsie, her parents are divorced and she ended up in custody of her mother growing up. her mother is terrible though and chelsie is closer with her paternal grandma chandra. they dont get to see each other in person but they always video chat and talk on the phone, share the things going on in their lives. her grandma even thought her how to cook that way. her grandma has been a source of love and comfort for chelsie her whole life even more so after the relationship between chelsie and her mother got worse when she came out as transfem. because her parents are divorced her grandma is also the main connection to her south indian culture as chelsie is half south indian. chelsie confides in her grandma before anyone else. she wants to become more like her in so many ways. to chelsie, shes everything she could dream of becoming

🧸childhood friends:

sam has known em the longest of all his friends and they met at the beginning of middle school. because theyre both misfits they stuck together and had been each other's only friend for a long time until they went to high school and met more people. they have an overlap of interests like fandoms and both of them have a soft spot in their heart for each other. for em particularly its special because after discovering theyre aroace they hesitate to form close bonds with people for fear that someone will want something romantic from them. sam never did that and made it clear he'll never expect that from em so he's earned his place as their most trusted person

aubry and fatima have been best friends since they were five years old and they've been inseparable ever since. they live in a small town so the choice for friends is few and the topics for gossip is many, not a good combo for them unfortunately being easy targets. when people refer to them they always refer to both of them as a pair because they are always together. the girls are very content to be each other's only friend even if their little backwards town thinks theyre both strange. aubry appointed herself fatima's defender long ago and thats never going to change. i hope you can tell theyre very in lesbians with each other

🐾pets:

aubry has a chesnut mare she named ....(drumroll) chestnut who she absolutely loves. that horse is a little wild though but theyre made for each other. she takes care of two more horses (applesauce and benny) that arent technically her's but her dad's and belong to their family. sam takes after his mom when it comes to loving plants and his room is full of plants he's named and looks after. he loves the succlents and cacti the most! chelsie doesnt have pets (or plants) although she tried mice one time and it was disastrous (it ended with her and her mom having to move houses lmao)
