Barbie Summer Celebration at Okada Manila, Philippines

I wanna watch the great escape again even though I only watched it like 3 days ago

[dreamstar-moonlight]

"Kind, clever, and brave" - that's who Barbie is at her core.

Timestamped. but if that's off, (roughly) 1:08:10 to 1:09:00 is when they talk about it

(Don't like don't read. Post hate and I'll block you)

I hate now that Barbie is forever connected to that bad depressing 2023 movie. I want my barbie movies! My love stories. Friendship, and magic and girl power. Beautiful outfits and beautiful dolls. Where Ken isn't an asshole. Where Barbie world is great place for guys and girls! Where there's no dumb hate for enjoying dolls. Now everytime I look up Barbie that dumb movie is connected to it that makes fun of Barbie lovers and people who loves dolls and fashion in general. I'm all for feminism and being a feminist. I'm a 27 year old woman in 2024. But Barbie was my childhood as a lonely little girl. I loved dolls. And I feel like this movie constantly makes fun of that.

what if a mimic wanted to go from off-brand barbie doll to gundam? how easy would the process be?

If the mimic isn't already good enough at shapeshifting to just glance at something and take on its form, it'll have to find a pre-existing body like a doll and "assimilate" it until the body is converted into the same "stuff" they're made of, and is now under their control. From there it's as hard as relearning how to move, walk, talk, etc, not unlike learning how to use a prosthetic limb after losing the old one, but for the whole body. With time, the body gains the mimic's weird properties, like being able to heal, express itself in more life-like ways, or "load" and "unload" things like their accessories. Finally, the body becomes something more original, and finalizes into a proper new form.

It kinda goes by Undertale Ghost logic, where you gotta find something you prefer and just slowly adapt to being in it. If a mimic is determined enough, it'll make it work anyway. On average, mimics that aren't good at shapeshifting may take a week to get 65% mobile in a drastically different form, but months or even years to reach 99%. If a mimic Craves a new form, it's usually much faster. Some mimics can "cheat" by just undergoing this time within a dream, but real life experience tends to be more reliable.

A barbie-esque mimic would have to account for the drastically different body type and mobility if it wanted to be a Gundam, but I could see them getting those weapon systems online in like a month if they craved Violence and War (which is bad).

Happy birthday, Barbie!

Barbie first hit shelves on March 9 1959, which means that as of today Barbie is 65 years old.

I'll give her this, she looks pretty good for her age.

There have been a number of Birthday Barbie releases over the years - the Birthday Wishes line, for one, which has had many variations over the years, as well as a variety of other birthday-themed dolls.

The oldest of these I can find is Happy Birthday Barbie from 1980, who has a very cute little ponytail.

Most of these releases over the years have been just Barbie in a party dress, but a few of them have included additional accessories such as cake or presents to make her day more exciting - such as Birthday Party Barbie from 1998.

Birthday Party Barbie also has pursed lips so she can blow out her candles, blow up her balloons, and blow her party favor horn. Which is an interesting mechanic for a Barbie. I don't really have a lot to say about it except that it opens up some dirty jokes which I, as a gentleman, will not make.

Of the Birthday Wishes line, my personal favourite is 2022. There's some real go big or go home energy about it.

Hell yeah Barbie. You deserve a giant ass bow.

there’s so many ppl enabling me in the notes of this post, so here enjoy some Thoughts i’ve had about the nurseydex maine road trip so far:

they do a road trip up the coast of maine over fall break their senior year so that nursey can see acadia national park while the leaves are changing

william “acts of service” poindexter decides that it is his Responsibility as nursey’s captain and fellow d-man to become maine’s official tour guide barbie. he plans the entire thing out and even prints them little itineraries and maps and shit because this boy is nothing is not Efficient

nursey makes them stop to see every single lighthouse they go anywhere near just to be a little shit (there are 65 lighthouses in maine, this would take So Long even if you just stopped at like a quarter of them)

the only canonical reference i could find for any actual locations in maine in the comic is that dex said his uncle who owned the lobster fishing boat he worked on over the summers lived in portland

(a side note to the above, i find this hilarious. portland is an pretty solidly liberal urban city - imagine a very small boston - and not somewhere you’re very likely to find small family-owned lobster fishing boats, at least in my experience. it would make way more sense for his uncle to live somewhere like rockland but i digress)

dex is 100% positive that nursey would Love portland so he carves out two whole days of their trip for them to stay with his uncle and explore. they go to the art museum and old port and the port head lighthouse and the top of the world lookout at fort sumner park and all the little shops and hidden places dex had found from living there every summer for years

nursey does end up loving portland but it might be more about the boy that shows it to him

even though his uncle lives in portland, i am still personally convinced that dex’s family mostly lives around the rockland area. i will go on a rant about nursey meeting dex’s close family another time, but while they’re in rockland, nursey continues his dedication to seeing all the lighthouses he can by forcing dex to make the almost mile long trek out to the breakwater lighthouse with him (don’t think about them standing alone next to this little building almost a mile out from land. the wind is chilly and strong and it makes dex’s hair look ridiculous and his cheeks flush and nursey definitely doesn’t want to kiss him ITS FINE ITS CHILL)

dex has them make a detour up to bangor and surprises nursey with going to see stephen king’s house. he doesnt understand why people are interested in looking at some dudes house At All but he does know nursey would love it so he does it anyways. the fence is cool and nursey gets so excited he almost face plants jumping out of the car, so dex counts it as a success

some random places i feel like dex would make them stop at along the way: freeport (nursey is both so confused and so delighted by just Everything about that place, but he loses his mind over the mcdonald’s and the ll bean outlet), ogunquit (dex purposefully takes highway 1 instead of the maine turnpike going towards portland so that they drive through ogunquit and he can see nursey’s face when he realizes they’re driving through the single gayest town he’s ever seen in his life and it’s in southern maine), moose point state park (there are a billion lil state parks in maine but i just randomly like this one in particular idk i think it’s cute), camden hills state park (it’s too foggy when they get there to drive up to the top so nursey makes them go on a hike instead so they didn’t “waste their time.” they get lost within like 10 minutes and are wet from the fog by the time they make it back to the car like 2 hours later), the desert of maine (it’s kinda boring to dex bc he’s seen it a dozen times since he was a kid, but nursey gets enthralled by the science behind it so it’s worth it), cushing (this is where the famous painter andrew wyeth lived at the olson house and was the subject of a lot of his work and i just feel like nursey would have fun seeing this place)

when they eventually make it to acadia, nursey ends up spending like two solid hours just sitting at sargent peak staring out over everything and desperately scrawling out lines of poetry into his notebook (dex spends most of those 2 hours staring at nursey but somehow doesn’t notice that nursey definitely isn’t writing about the scenery)

Hello fren. Would you like to ramble about your OCs?

This has been in my inbox for awhile mostly because I wasn't sure what to ramble about but yk what, I have the perfect OCs/world to ramble about and finally fully explain

This is Cameron Filali. He's 65 years old, and really likes the color pink, his house looks like a barbie dollhouse. He's a hopeless romantic objectum dude and while his type is varied to include just about anything you could romanticize, he has a soft spot for interior design, and he used to be really big into urban exploration because of it. He's your unmarried uncle who keeps slipping you hundred dollar bills everytime he comes around.

Because of a literal butterfly effect on his way to work that led him to fall through the cracks of the universe, him and god are simultaneously newlyweds and an old couple that've been together for 32 years.

So, let me begin by laying out their...

...omniverse, first. Because this is all on a multiversal scale!

Entire universes are sentient beings. It's like if a game or physics engine was alive, creating a simulation that lasts forever (or as long as they want it to) that is... themself. The way they do this is by creating laws, laws of physics, that slowly defines the universe the more they add. But, it also limits them.

It's all on a scale of mobility. Immobile universes have all their shit laid out, everything is detailed and they no longer need any hands in their "simulation." However, that means that they can't directly control anything. Mobile universes have some laws, maybe really finicky laws that don't cover everything, that allow them to directly control or influence what goes on in themselves, but that means that a lot more things are now constantly their responsibility.

For example, something like gravity. If you have your law of gravity in, then everything falls, you don't even need to think about it. But what if some Thing you really liked falls, and shatters to pieces because of it? You can't stop that Thing from falling, unless you break your own law and everything goes to complete shit because of it - you can't break a law just once, you have to completely remove the law because a law just states something that will always happen, and removing it jeopardizes everything under the influence of it, which is: everything! If you don't have a law of gravity, then you can you can stop that precious Thing from falling. But that means you have to go in and make everything fall. You have manually to bring everything in the entire universe down everytime it falls, which is exhausting.

Universes can have relationships with other universes. They can't effect anything in the omniversal void that they're all in, but they can effect themselves and eachother.

They can be friends, lots of universes can be friends and they look in on what what their universal buddy has going on in there, but ever interfering or influencing what goes on in someone else's universe is considered a MASSIVE dick move. Immobile universes are generally immune to any influence but themselves, but semi-mobile, really detailed but not completely hands-free universes can get into fights and literally destroy everything in eachothers' universes until there is nothing left but a massive void inside of eachother.

Universes can also "reproduce." They can create a whole new universe from scratch, a little "baby" universe that's comparable to those basic physics engines where they're just figuring out how to define themselves. Universes can mitose into "parallels" where everything is the same except for one thing, so that they can share a conciousness and try out something new. And then there's buds, where a universe can bud a universe off themselves that are connected, and have some influence on their host and either be independent or share their conciousness. Budding universes are a very popular choice by Immobile universes because, well, shit, they're proud of their work and all but sometimes they get bored of being a bystander to everything, and that is the case with our universe.

This is Miguel, Cameron's wife, and it is a budded and very mobile universe from ours. Just like our universe, it has no actual name, so it has multiple aliases from its inhabitants. It was named Miguel by Cameron, and it is the first one that it has personally used to refer to itself, but it's also known as "Hell," "The Subterranean Maze Matrix," "The underworld", or the one you might be most familiar with: "The Backrooms."

(Names by Cameron. Supernatural levels are otherwise realistic levels with a supernatural element - Ceptolumne is a regular ballroom, but is completely black and white unless the hanging lights are turned on.)

Miguel functions a litttle differently to the general consensus/mythos of the backrooms, though. For one, Miguel is unable to create her own life, though she can readily support ours since she's connected to our universe - There's no entities except for her, though there are fake ones, often fish or flocks of birds, that are more like an object displaying a graphic. Miguel is too full of finicky "it works because i say so" laws that're too weak to properly simulate something like our cosmos or to naturally conjure life, but Miguel's laws make for a wonderful collection of enclosures, though it's not flawless reconstructions of Earth - Water is breatheable and you can't cook within Miguel, due to a lack of knowledge and miguel's limitations, respectively.

Miguel's levels are mostly not interconnected, either. When someone falls through the cracks of our universe through the invisible peepholes that Miguel has open, you only go to one random level, though it's random one each time you enter (unless she wants you going somewhere specific). Some levels do have doors that can transport you to other levels, but that's not ubiquitous. You exit Miguel to the same instant you entered in our universe, so your time in Miguel doesn't pass in ours (the minutia for how this works i still need to figure out). But as for how you exit, before Cameron, the exit was as inconspicuous and unmarked as the entrance was, so you just had to wander an entire level for maybe years before you got lucky and stepped on the exit by chance. Now the exit's marked, because Cameron informed Miguel that no, they could not see their exit. It's actually visible in the Ghost Hills picture as that red dot.

OMNIVERSE-BUILDING OUT OF THE WAY: LET'S GET TO THIS WEIRD ROMANCE.

The "literal butterfly effect" in question was Cameron following a butterfly off his usual route to work. Once again, Miguel's peepholes into our world are in random places and are completely unmarked/invisible, and by that slim chance, he stepped on one of the entrances to Miguel, falling through the earth and spending 3 months wandering a level before finding the exit.

This is, for most ordinary people, not a particularly enjoyable experience. But Cameron already fucks around abandoned buildings for no good reason other than yearning for the buildings so for some reason he exited Miguel thinking "wow, that was a cool dream. It felt so real." So real, that, the next day, in our universe, he tries again, just to confirm that was just a dream, and confirms... the exact opposite! This time, with a surprise.

Cameron likes urbanex as said before, but his favorite place to explore was this one abandoned mall that he had been around to see while it was still open, for he had fallen in love with the place during and after its prime - its gaudy neon colors, the crazy wavy ceiling the bowling-alley carpet - it charmed him dearly and he was utterly devastated when it was destroyed. So imagine his surprise when he's standing right at the fountain in the center, while the mall's at its prime. Miguel usually takes inspiration from places and adds her own spin to it, it's why she's so anthropocentric when it comes to her levels, but nonetheless, the chance that she took inspiration from the mall that Cameron had the biggest fattest crush on that Cameron also happened to end up in is... staggering, to say the least.

He spent 6 months in there. Mostly out of his own volition. But by the time he left, he had piqued Miguel's interest for his sudden monologuing towards her. Cameron has no idea Miguel was actually sentient but he likes personifying the objects he likes, romantic or platonic, and treated her as if she was alive, eventually giving her the name "Miguel" and internalizing the "she/her" pronouns, even though Miguel is as genderless and as much of a person as a rock is.

He began visiting Miguel just about every other day, and this also greatly interested Miguel since Miguel is used to only getting 3 or 4 visitors every decade or so (mostly random wild animals). Miguel can't feel romantic love, but Miguel is still very touched by how Cameron is actually acknowleging them directly and being physically affectionate to the objects within her. Miguel can't really embrace Cameron directly since one big rule with Miguel is being unable to change objects within someone's field of vision, but she tried to show her affections for him through food and trying to incorporate what he could notice into the levels. Cameron took notice, and although he didn't know about the greater forces at play, he praised her for it and just made whatever feelings that Miguel had for him worse (positive)

Miguel decides to semi-directly tell him her feelings with a little pie and a note that had his name in hearts. Which scared the everliving shit out of Cameron for a few seconds, considering he didn't really think Miguel would ever reciprocate. But immediately afterwards, he was estatic that his feelings were actually mutual and the rest is history.

A lot of this is lore I've said before, but I did want to update that Cameron and Miguel actually do now talk directly to eachother! Miguel can't speak but they now have a book that she responds directly to him through.

They got married via Cameron ceremoniously putting a ring on the floor, and now that ring is in a random spot in every level in Miguel -Cameron has the personal goal of always having to find it before he leaves Miguel. They've been married for 32 years within Miguel's time, but for a little under a year on our universe. It's also a personal routine for Cameron to bring Miguel food (Miguel doesn't need to eat, but Miguel can simulate human feelings such as taste and enjoys being brought things) everytime he comes in to Miguel

4. trees- they provide oxygen which let israel breathe and gives them life. Don't hug trees, no more.

5. Water- israel is drinking water which let them stay hydrated and continue murder 12.3 million doctors journalist kids

Barbie : The World Tour

For the press tour following the record-breaking release of Greta Gerwig’s award-winning, acclaimed Barbie movie, producer and star Margot Robbie and her stylist Andrew Mukamal immersed themselves in some of Barbie’s most iconic outfits and curated vintage pieces, then approached designers, from Giorgio Armani to Donatella Versace, to create looks inspired by the doll-size originals. Many of these looks were not seen as the official Barbie press tour was cut short—so Margot and Andrew worked with renowned fashion photographer Craig McDean to shoot her in the looks exactly as they were curated: Schiaparelli in Los Angeles, Vivienne Westwood in London, vintage Chanel with matching Steamline luggage at the airport, and beyond.   Accompanying McDean’s sumptuous photography are original Barbie dolls from the period, a treasure trove of rare materials from Mattel’s Barbie fashion archives, and the designers’ sketches and Polaroids from fittings, layered into evocative collages by Fabien Baron, who conceived and produced the shoots and art-directed the book. With text by Margot Robbie and Andrew Mukamal, as well as handwritten contributions from the designers behind the looks (from Olivier Rousteing and Michelle Ochs to Manolo Blahnik and Jeremy Scott), this unique book blends the serious chic of high fashion with the serious fun of Barbie world—the dolls, the history, and the style that have captured imaginations for 65 years.

Barbie Must Have Bullshit Her Resume

By:zedo

Ok, so we all know Barbie as the do-all girl, what hasn't she done? (The answer to that is surprisingly alot)

But the real question is, how has she managed to accomplish so much by the age of 65? Well I'm here to tell you she fuckibg lied. I did the math, I compiled a list of jobs and hobbies she has had(albeit incomplete) and its impossible.

Below is a compiled list of (most of) barbies jobs that require training/schooling:

Fashion designer- 3 years

Nurse-2 years(minimum)

Astronaut-10 years(6 years schooling, 2 years experience, 2 years bt)

Fashion editor-4 years

Fashion model-1 year

Teacher- 5 years

Veterinarian-4 years

Travel agent- 4 years roughly

Business exectuive- 3 years

Surgeon- 4 years school + 5 year residency

Optometrist- 8 years

Dentist- 8 years

Pediatric doctor-4 years

Pilot-9 month's 

In the air force(military pilot)-4 years

Detective-4 years

Makeuo artist/hair stylist- 1 year

Chef- 3 years

Architect-3 years

Firefighter-2 years

Olympic skiier and gymnast,Figure skater -(1 years worth of trianing)

Train conductors - 1 year

Movie producer- 4 years

Computer engineer- 4 years

Marine bilogist- 6 year

Palentologist- 6 years

Zookeeper- 6 years

Baker-3 years

Film director - 4 years

Game developer- 4 years

Scientist(chemist)-4 years

Robotic engineer- 7 years

Astrophysisit- 6 years

Aircraft engineer- 7 years

Entomologist- 4 years

Judge- 10 years

Interior designer - 4 years

Cinservation scientist-  5 years

Microbiologist - 4 years

Flight attendant-10 weeks

Pet groomer-12 weeks

Police officer- 6 months

(While compiling this list, I also chose the bare minimum required amount of schooling for each job, but knowing Barbie, she would not have done the bare minimum)

If you compile the numbers, you reach a bare minimum of 203 years of school/training.

So Barbie could not have possibly gone to school for every job she has had, so she must have bullshit a few things somewhere, as this does not include the time she may have worked in these jobs once finally getting to that point.

This also leaves the question of how does she have time for her long list of hobbies, such as:

Tennis

Was also a rock star and rapper

Unicef ambassador

Actress

Scuba diver

Circus performer

Superhero

Baseball

Matador/bull fighter

Bowling

?RAN FOR PRESIDENT?

Cheerleading

Cabaret dancer

Artist

Soccer coach

Rides horses

Race car driver

Snow boards

Track and feild

Magician

Animal rescue

Martial arts

Basket ball

Beekeeping

Farming

Golfing

Boxing

Hockey

Tooth fairy

Volleyball

Crime??(I'm serious she was a burglar)

So in reality, Barbie is a liar and a fake.
