The Alpha Bitch Trope in Cartoon
Tricia Holmes from 6teen is well known by the gang as the most popular girl at their school and is the snooty archnemesis of Caitlin Cooke, who used to be a member of her Girl Posse.
Subverted on American Dad! where the "hottest girl in school" and head cheerleader Lisa Silver appears willing to go out with the nerdy Steve and is surprisingly understanding when the show's antics keep messing up the planned dates. In another episode, it looks like she and her Girl Posse did something terrible to Steve's unpopular girlfriend... but it turns out it is actually Steve's friends who are responsible, once again subverting what you'd expect from Alpha Bitch behavior.
Amphibia has Sasha Waybright, Anne's snobby and manipulative Toxic Friend who has a strong desire to rule over and control others; she even says herself that she ruled her school back on Earth. Anne starts the show off as her unwitting minion, being encouraged to engage in delinquent behavior and the like. As the series progresses, Sasha ultimately drives Anne away from her, especially after the latter realizes how bad of a friend she really is. By the third season, however, Sasha comes to realize how horrible she was and grows out of this behavior to become a better person.
Nanette Manoir from Angela Anaconda, also a Fauxreigner French Jerk and something of a teacher's pet. Angela has had many an Imagine Spot where she gets thoroughly humiliated and/or maimed.
Priscilla and Penelope Pinkpaws from Angelina Ballerina.
Cora, the daughter of the CEO Nora Rita Norita, in the Animaniacs (2020) short "My Super Sour 16" is an arrogant, spoiled Rich Bitch who wants her Sweet 16 to be absolutely perfect.
Muffy from Arthur used to be this and occasionally still has shades of it, particularly in the episode where Arthur starts acting like her. However, she has a Hidden Heart of Gold.
As Told by Ginger:
Miranda Kilgallen is the second-in-command and the Girl Posse leader to Courtney Gripling. She also defrosts a little. She never exactly becomes friendly, but she's a lot worse at the start than she is at the end.
Courtney Gripling is an inversion — Lovable Alpha Bitch. She's the queen bee; pretty, rich, popular, and more than a little narcissistic, a (self-proclaimed) snob, but she's a genuinely sweet person who doesn't seem to harbor any malice towards anyone — unlike her friend Miranda. While her sidekick Miranda is quick to insult the unpopular girls, Courtney is friendly with them.
Penelope Lang in Atomic Betty. Her two lackeys are a pair of sycophantic nerds, and she is infamous for referring to people as "losers" often.
Barbie:
Raquelle from Barbie: A Fairy Secret, although once the plot gets into motion, it's mostly pushed by the wayside.
Violet Nylund and Ashlynn Torescu from Barbie Presents Thumbelina.
Formerly Sloane, Hallie, and Dua for Camp Pop and Olivia and her friends for Camp Royalty from Barbie In Rock N Royals.
Tammy Bounceaway from Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures.
Tanya Butaire from LEGO Friends.
Batman Beyond has Blade and Chelsea. Blade is actually fairly apathetic, but has the look down pat, and is more than content to do things such as throw most of a school assignment on Terry, or manipulate a classmate to make another guy jealous. Chelsea, is usually a lot more sympathetic; she's actually a rather nice person, as seen in "The Last Resort," and except for being dismissive of Howard Groote, doesn't really do anything bad. Though she sometimes tries to get Dana to see other guys, it's because she thinks Terry isn't good for Dana, due to him always brushing her off.
Claire Brewster in Beetlejuice who is still the "stuck-up, shallow yet very pretty girl" type.
The Benedict Express
Madison, while technically a protagonist, is essentially the Beta Bitch to Alpha Bitch Erica Green and has often participated in her schemes against less attractive girls. Her status as the daughter of a professor allows her to get away with anything. Of course, their rival Sarah who is rarely shown is an even bigger Alpha Bitch.
Ciara Toler, when she was in high school and before she was brutally raped as a consequence of her bitchiness. While she showed strong Alpha Bitchy traits partly because of her status as "Barbee Creek Barbie" and "the princess of the projects" - the most attractive girl in her 'hood - her snobbishness is portrayed somewhat sympathetically as arising from her impatience with living in a community filled with people who preferred to wallow in poverty and being the only person (even in her own family) with a drive to improve herself. In fact, she often tried to act more like a Cute Sports Club Manager and uplift the spirit of her friends and neighbors before becoming exhausted with the fact they were only interested in drug dealing and violence.
Tammy Larson from Bob's Burgers is something of a subversion in that she thinks she's an Alpha Bitch and assumes she's super popular. The thing is, she doesn't have anywhere near as many friends or followers as you think she would if she were that popular. The only person who hangs around her on a regular basis and actually seems to like her is her Beta Bitch Jocelyn, and even she doesn't seem to like Tammy that much. The only other people who could possibly be considered her friends are Jimmy Jr., Zeke, and the Belcher siblings, and that should tell you something about her popularity level since they don't seem to actually even like her.
Boy Girl Dog Cat Mouse Cheese: Girl has a nemesis called Lila, who mockingly calls her "the queen of nerds" and threatens to shut down Girl's after-school cosplay club if elected school president, just to be mean.
Nina Harper from Braceface. Interesting, though, in that she and the protagonist, Sharon Spitz, were actually best friends when they were little. But a mishap with one of Nina's dolls that got its head popped off ended their friendship when she accused Sharon of being the culprit (even though she had no proof that Sharon did it). So her bullying Sharon is more or less out of spite. They do somewhat reconcile as the series goes on. Especially by season 3 when it's revealed that Sharon was indeed innocent of the doll incident; Nina's cousin was the cause of that.
Suzi from Camp Lakebottom is McGee's vain and bossy sister, a former pageant queen, and a huge Attention Whore.
Cleo from Clone High. She is a very selfish, snobby, cynical, vain, manipulative, pretentious, and materialistic stereotypical school diva who cares only about her social image, beauty, and popularity. Like in many a high school story, protagonist Abe has a hopeless crush on her despite the fact she's clearly more interested in Jerk Jock JFK.
Come the revival series set in 2023, Cleo expects she'll still be the most popular girl in school and is utterly horrified to learn she's been replaced by Frida Kahlo, an artsy skateboarder with a slight mustache and a giant unibrow. In fact, Frida and Harriet Tubman think Joan of Arc is cooler than Cleo.
Elisabeth "Sissi" Delmas in Code Lyoko is a strange version of this. In the first season, this is played straight, with the exception of a few scenes in only a few episodes. However, her assistance to the heroes in later seasons, particularly the second and fourth, is often offered without a second thought or a specific request for a reward, though this can happen quite a bit in a life-or-death situation. It seems that her personality alternates between seasons, from a straight Alpha Bitch with several Pet the Dog moments in Seasons 1 and 3 to a more Jerk with a Heart of Gold Lovable Alpha Bitch in Seasons 2 and 4.
Paulina from Danny Phantom. The most popular girl in school and loves to rub it in people's faces.
The show also had Valerie Grey, who early in the show ends up losing her wealth and becoming a Fallen Princess. She still retained some bitchiness before completely mellowing out and becomes a villain towards Danny’s ghost half.
Played with on Daria. You'd think the title character would have one as an arch-nemesis, but no, girls like Brittany are generally nice (if condescending) to her. Daria's sister Quinn, however, is part of the Fashion Club, the popular Girl Posse of their grade...and is in constant competition with its leader Sandi for dominance. Essentially, the two never have time to torture less popular girls because they're torturing each other instead. Quinn is generally the more sympathetic of the two, if only because she doesn't abuse poor Stacy, the group's least popular member.
The longer the show went on, the more it seemed like Sandi was a Deconstruction of the Alpha Bitch. While the boys of Lawndale all see Sandi as hot, there was nothing to indicate Sandi truly was as popular as she believes she is. Since she spends far more time battling Quinn for supremacy in the Fashion Club, Sandi's supposed popularity only ever was apparent within the confines of the club. Furthermore, when she decides to quit in "Fat Like Me" only Quinn appears sorry that Sandi's leaving while Tiffany and Stacy seemed overjoyed at the thought of Sandi no longer breathing down their necks. Considering Sandi is repeatedly shown to be an egotistical and manipulative Attention Whore, it's no wonder she's desperate to maintain what little foothold of popularity she has in a space she has total control over.
Andrea Davenport from The Ghost and Molly McGee is a snooty tween "influencer" who tries to make Molly a pariah on her first day at school just because she kept mispronouncing Andrea's name (which she insists is pronounced "AHN-dree-ah" and not "ANN-dree-ah").
Pacifica Northwest from Gravity Falls, which is later deconstructed in season 2 when it's suggested she's only this way because her rich parents are even worse and raised her to be stuck up. She begins to defrost as of "The Golf War", then "Northwest Mansion Mystery" reveals that she wasn't raised to be a bitch, she was mentally abused into being one. To put things in perspective, Pacifica was nothing more than a bully and a brat, but she isn't a sociopath. Dipper convinced her that there is still redemption for her.
"The Golf War" had Mabel lampshade this by calling her a "walking one-dimensional bleach blonde Valley Girl stereotype".
Mindy from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy is a much younger Alpha Bitch, as well as an incredibly obsessive one. For example, she loses her head cheerleader position to Mandy (who just shouts the game plans to the team) and, after consulting the "patron saint of cheerleading" (a trophy she thinks is talking), decides the best solution is to incapacitate her in some way in the middle of a match, or, failing that, blow her up. If she sees Mandy with anyone aside from Billy or Irwin or the like, she walks up to them, puts on an obscenely perky face, and says "You're my best friend!"
Trina Riffin from Grojband acts this way, even though she only has one dedicated underling, her much put-upon childhood friend Mina. Nonetheless, her official bio states her to be the most popular girl at her school (although since we rarely ever see the characters at school, this never pops up in the series).
Paige Logan from Grossology. She is a popular but very snobbish girl.
Harvey Street Kids:
Frufru, the local rich girl. She's depicted as being haughty, self-absorbed, and into fashion, but lacks a Girl Posse, indicated to be simply because she's so distant from the other kids.
Zoe, Audrey's abusive older sister, is a more obvious example, being a head cheerleader and the leader of a trio composed of her and her two friends.
Rhonda Wellington Lloyd comes between this and Rich Bitch in some episodes of Hey Arnold! However, she actually is shown to have a friendly side, since her best friend Nadine actually is implied to be a middle-class girl (and with almost completely different interests than Rhonda—Nadine loves arthropods, Rhonda loves fashion). Her romantic interest in Harold, who actually is fat and less popular, is another redeeming feature.
Miraculous Ladybug:
Chloé Bourgeois. Her father is the Mayor of Paris and spoils his 'little angel' rotten. She hits all the marks for personality, but she is not very popular at all, with only one friend, Sabrina, who she treats more like a servant and also doesn't understand what friendship might actually be. She thinks everyone adores her (they don't), and can rarely accept she made a mistake. Among her most heinous acts is locking an emotionally insecure girl in the bathroom so she could be next to Adrien, who Chloé has a crush on (and said insecure girl does not) in a class photo. She is responsible for most cases of people becoming sad or angry and getting brainwashed into supervillains, to the point that Hawk Moth once created an akuma with no specific victim in mind and had it follow her around since he figured she was bound to piss someone off eventually. Unfortunately, he caught her on the day she was specifically trying to be nicer to people, so it took a little while, but she eventually delivered.
Lila Rossi. She convinces the rest of the class, who adores her, to do whatever she wants and manipulates people to try and turn them against Marinette (the only person who doesn't like her). She also torments people for petty reasons, such as sending a picture of herself kissing Adrien to Kagami, or the aforementioned turning people against Marinette because Marinette refuses to believe her Blatant Lies. She also acts spiteful and horribly rude, insulting people behind their backs.
Audrey Bougeois is one of these all grown up — she's a snobby, rude, and narcissistic fashion critic who belittles and threatens to fire anyone that doesn't meet her impossibly high standards. Her own family isn't exempt from this; her treatment of her husband is flat-out Domestic Abuse, she alternates between belittling her daughter while misremembering her name and encouraging her to follow her example (said daughter being Chloé), and while she treats Zoé slightly better, she doesn't really pay attention to her unless she puts up a Jerkass Façade.
Monster Buster Club gives us a subversion of the Always Female rule. Resident Alpha Brat Mark is a male Spoiled Blond Rich Kid who delights in insulting and generally being less than pleasant with the four kid heroes, apparently for no reason.
Cleo from Monster High is popular, vain, and frequently tries to manipulate situations to be about her. However, she does love her boyfriend and her friends, and occasionally displays redeeming qualities, becoming more of a Lovable Alpha Bitch as time goes on. Deconstructed in that her popularity is the result of her need for positive attention, which comes from her father and older sister treating her coldly and telling her about the importance of power, both of which went to Cleo's head.
Cleo: "I'm Cleo De Nile, and I've got to give the people what they want."
Tiff and Brit, the Crust cousins from My Life as a Teenage Robot, who continually plot to keep Jenny/XJ-9 unpopular.
Diamond Tiara from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, with Silver Spoon as the Beta Bitch, are a pair of spoiled brats who tease Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle about not developing cutie marks yet, and taunt Scootaloo about the fact that she can't fly. The episode "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" reveals Diamond was raised to be mean by her mother Spoiled Rich, who's far worse than she is, prompting her to stand up to her near the end and become nice.
Neo Yokio: Arcangelo is a male example. He leads the "east side gentlemen" who look down on Kaz for being Nouveau Riche.
Mayor Paul Spryman from Ozzy and Drix. He is a 14-year-old brain cell who has absolutely no business being in charge of the city and bullies Ozzy for being an Emo Teen and Drix for being a Nerd.
In Pixel Pinkie, Suzi is the school's alpha bitch who immediately marks Nina as a target for her strange clothes and Amazingly Embarrassing Parents.
Amity Blight in The Owl House, although she is technically more of the academic variety and grows into a lovable one fairly quickly. Her friend Boscha, while a Beta Bitch in status, is a more straight example in regard to attitude. Following Amity taking a level in kindness midway through Season 1, Boscha becomes the new Alpha Bitch in her place.
Princess Morbucks on The Powerpuff Girls (1998). She's a rich, spoiled Prima Donna that thinks she's better than the girls. Nobody at her school likes her. She even wants to become a member of the girls, which they turn down because she lacks any qualities of the team. Taken up notches in the 2016 reboot; she no longer wants to be the fourth Powerpuff Girl, she wants to be the only Powerpuff Girl.
Princess Natasha: Greg's girlfriend Kelly is this, at least as far as Natasha is concerned. She is totally self=absorbed and her 'crimes' include wearing too much makeup and cheating off her fellow students.
The Ashleys in Recess. Despite having some moments where they aren't a bunch of Rich Bitches, they spend the majority of the series wanting to screw with everyone for the sake of being mean.
Vana Glama from Sidekick is a classic case, a popular and self-centered primadonna who gets the best grades at the Sidekick Academy, has all the boys (especially Eric) drooling over her, and is served by the beleaguered nerd Kitty Ko.
In The Simpsons episode "Eight Misbehavin'", the family describe what happened to them during a nine-month mid-episode Time Skip. Lisa reveals that she became the most popular girl in school, "but then blew it by being conceited". Whilst the details of this are never revealed, it is probable that she became an Alpha Bitch during that period.
Gemini Stone from Sabrina: The Animated Series, a stand-in for the original Libby on the live-action series.
Also Portia from the friends forever movie.
The Spectacular Spider-Man
Liz was introduced as one, mocking Peter as much as everyone else, until a boost of Character Development after seeing him in different light turned her into his love interest.
Sally Avril is the most abusive girl of the group, even mercilessly mocking fellow clique-member Flash Thompson when his hero, Spider-Man, appears to be committing robberies. Slightly subverted when Peter's aunt has a heart attack as Flash mentions that even Sally feels sorry for him, although she is not as forthcoming with her sympathies as his friends are. Both she and Flash have gone through a bit of Character Development. When she thinks that Peter's been killed, Sally is horrified. She does say it's because she'll have to tell Liz and Liz "looks awful in black", but when she sees that Peter's okay, she performs a textbook Anger Born of Worry. A bit later, she tells him that no, she doesn't care, but she doesn't want him to be blown to bits, she's not a monster. In the last episode, she's glad Liz broke up with Peternote .
Gretel from Staines Down Drains is the arch-enemy of Mary-Jane. She is a spoilt girl who usually bullies the Staines with her friends, the Lupe brothers.
Brittney Wong from Star vs. the Forces of Evil hits all the typical beats: she's a bratty, selfish Rich Bitch who became captain of the cheer-leading squad at Echo Creek Academy "on her own, and not because her dad made a generous donation to the school." Naturally, Brittney hates Star for being one of the few kids she can't intimidate and for stealing attention away from herself
Strawberry Shortcake: Angel Cake has moments of such in the 2003 series, especially in the final season, to the point of playing the villain in "Sleeping Beauty".
Peppermint Fizz was this in her early appearances but outgrows such behavior following her redesign.
Raspberry Tart/Torte becomes one in the 2021 series, with the addition of Adaptational Villainy. She drops this after Season 1, when she warms up to Strawberry and becomes one of her closest friends.
Melody from Teenage Fairytale Dropouts is a mean girl in that she's constantly looking down on Fury for the latter being a fairy who still hasn't grown her wings yet.
Total Drama: From the first generation, Heather and Courtney. Heather is a classic queen bee whereas Courtney revealed herself to be a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing with her bossy and overly competitive personality as the series progressed. Both were the Alpha Bitch on their respective teams in the first two seasons with Heather serving as the show's main Alpha Bitch in Island and Courtney in Action. However, in World Tour, both girls clash for the position.
From the third generation, Amy and Sugar. Amy treats her twin sister Samey with absolutely no respect, and pretty much acts like a Jerkass towards her other teammates as well, particularly Jasmine. Sugar is a pageant brat who asserts herself as the dominant female, especially over Ella and Sky.
From the fourth generation, Julia. She starts as a fake Granola Girl social media influencer, but Beneath the Mask, she's as self-absorbed as one can get. MK eventually exposes Julia's real personality to the world, but Julia's popularity doesn't suffer for long— she gets thousands of new followers who enjoy her real personality, and she's relieved that she no longer has to act nice to be popular.
Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race:
Taylor treats her mom Kelly like shit, and she is often rude to the other contestants.
Josee is a rare adult version, given how she regularly bullies her partner Jacques and belittles other teams, primarily the Cadets and the Sisters.
Mandy from Totally Spies! is a textbook case of this trope. Extra points for being shallow. Her cousin Mindy is also shown to be this, but it takes five seasons for her to show up.
It's spin-off show The Amazing Spiez! also has this with Tami.
Coral from Trollz is the head cheerleader, perpetually stuck-up, and is mean to the BFFL. She gets a case of Break the Haughty when Simon temporarily takes over and makes her his servant, and when Amethyst helps her she thanks the cast before returning to her usual ways.
Winx Club
A girl from Bloom's old hometown named Mitzi definitely fit the bill, despite appearing only a few times. In the Halloween episode, she invited Bloom and her friends to a party—which turned out to be an elaborate scheme to humiliate the girls. She bought and rigged a house, made up an elaborate legend, hired actors to pose as party guests (complete with scripts), and set up elaborate special effects around the house, just to pull a prank on someone she had barely seen in two years, along with four girls she had never met. Mitzi gets a more prominent role in some episodes of the fourth season: she lays her eyes on Brandon and wants to take him from Stella. Later, the Wizards of the Black Circle temporarily turn her and two friends into evil fairies. After that, she's practically Put on a Bus. She appears again in Season 5, and whatever time she's not playing fangirl to the Trix involves her being a bitch to her little sister.
The Trix themselves qualify. They bully others in school and generally boss others around before getting expelled. After episode nine, they get much, much worse, what with the multiple attempted homicides, turning The Cutie into a pumpkin for ruining one of their plans, removing the heroine's powers in a needlessly sadistic way after threatening her parents and revealing her backstory, and attempting to take over the universe. They're like Regina George, only with magical powers.
Christie Wilson from The Weekenders. She's a snooty jerk.

Characters ask: 12 dancing princesses
Favorite thing about them: The beautiful, romantic imagery of all the princesses venturing into a magical subterranean land where the trees are made of silver, gold, and diamonds, and then dancing through the night with mysterious handsome princes. I like the imagery better than the story itself.
Least favorite thing about them: That they let all the princes who try to discover their secret be beheaded. It's no wonder that retellings tend to omit this part and just have the failed princes either sent away in disgrace or imprisoned instead.
Three things I have in common with them:
*I like parties and music.
*I tend to be a freedom-seeker.
*I'm in no hurry to marry.
Three things I don't have in common with them:
*I'm not a very good dancer.
*I would never let even one man be beheaded just so I could attend secret parties, let alone many men.
*I don't have any sisters, let alone eleven.
Favorite line:
From the Faerie Tale Theatre version, these quotes from the eldest princess Jeanetta:
"I have no patience for hearts and flowers and young men who brag about this victory and that. There's more to life than romance."
“The man of my dreams is a prince among men.”
brOTP: Each other.
OTP: Well, I hope the eldest sister will be happy in her marriage to the soldier, and I hope the others eventually find the right princes.
nOTP: Their father.
Random headcanon: For the Faerie Tale Theatre version, where all the characters are more sympathetic than in the Grimms' tale, I like @ariel-seagull-wings' headcanon that the princesses' parents were Cinderella and her Prince, now King. The eldest princess looks especially like their mother – since in this version she's played by Lesley Ann Warren, the 1965 Rodgers and Hammerstein Cinderella – and they've all inherited her love of ballroom dancing. But since Cinderella died, her grieving husband has become overprotective of his daughters, leading to the plot.
Unpopular opinion: I don't mind the fact that this tale is so rarely adapted, because it's not a particular favorite of mine, mainly because the ending falls flat. We never learn who the mysterious dancing princes were; there's just a vague statement at the end implying that they're under a curse, and that it's extended as their punishment for having danced with the princesses, but with no explanation of who cursed them or how they suffer from it. The princesses never redeem themselves for having caused so many men's deaths – at least in other stories with similar plot points, like Turandot, the princess has a transformative "learning to love" moment which is missing here. The eldest princess is married to the soldier as his reward, with no choice for her and no sense of romance, and this is portrayed as a happy ending, even though she and her sisters were willing to kill him rather than be forced to marry him.
So far, every adaptation I've seen has been an improvement, IMHO. First and foremost by removing the "every man who fails to learn the princesses' secret is beheaded" plot point, secondly by giving the soldier an actual romance arc with the eldest princess, and thirdly by changing the ending or at least giving it more depth. My introduction to the story was the anime Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics, where the princes turn out to be disguised demons luring the princesses to their doom, and the soldier fights them off and helps the princesses escape, earning the eldest princess's love by doing so. That twist might be melodramatic, but at least it gives the story a proper climax and emotional payoff. Then there's the Faerie Tale Theatre version, where the princes are dream figures created by the princesses in a magic ritual, and where the princesses' nightly outings are sympathetic, because their overprotective father needs to learn to let them grow up, go dancing, and meet young men in their own world. That's a good alternative too. (I don't have anything to say about the Barbie version because I've never seen it.) Basically, I think it's a story with great potential, but which needs adaptation expansion.
Song I associate with them: None.
Favorite picture of them:

It is really funny I say say that my persona is a combination of "cottage fairy & Cecilia Blomdahl".
There are days that I love to be calmed and at peace with myself and with hoping and praying a positive energies...
I do agree on "cottage fairy" that meditating and journaling can nourish your mind and rewarding for your spiritual needs.
But still looking forward for vanity and some progress in me... Cottage Fairy is an artist that she wanted to calm every woman in the world, to embrace the solitary moment of your life for you to learn to embrace yourself and understand your surroundings and to be able to fight the unfair negative energies in this world.
It is so funny that one of her fans asked her about her secret on being fit... I can really see her perfectly fit body but I see no muscle but perhaps it is hidden,underneath... ;)

My nana is requesting for a "sungka" coz we used to play it... These days I really want to buy board games coz I used to have it way back... My other half-siblings here on my biological mother's side didn't know the value of board games. Board games are not only for kids but it is for adult as well... It is bonding, nourishing your mind to think like on playing "chess" or even "sungka".... Sungka is a Filipino wood game, it is not a board game... There are holes and each hole must have 7 shells that you have to maintain each hole to have shells....I was thinking if shells symbolize money.
I have no circle now and I was left behind here... One of the reasons I'm hating my some old friends....
Days and years that our family were on its peak of having a good life... I mean we were on the real upper middle-class....Our family used to play board games with our adult members such as our Aunt's and Uncle's and... We used to play charade as family bonding.
It is my frustration to have an upper friends again to grow and to have some vanity and adventures in life...

honestly, I would have more respect for him if he would finally stand by her completely, no matter what others think... and if he had balls, he would do that.. why this paranoia? does he hide under the table when photos are taken or what? is he afraid that the girls in love will jump off because the prince is now taken? The people who deal with him intensively know about it anyway and the rest are so-so interested, he will survive the few people who will unfollow.. you are over 40, grow up
People tend to forget that he does kind of stand by her as a friend for years now (except when he was letting his fangirls/random trolls tear her apart to save his face???) sooooo romantic or not, he made a lot of bad choices lately and twin flames flaming is just a small part of it. No respect 🦁 did ye notice AGAIN that the switch between only friends and something more is also the shitshow switch. Like it's fucking ridiculous to me but guess years long friendship is not as bad as secret relationship lol
The paranoia... I spoke about it so many times. If ye wanna a proof he is absolutely faking his Benny persona and don't wanna his Mr Hyde to pop up, well it's right there. There are so many actually famous people who can stay private, yet they are not as obsessive as our lil bastard. There's a difference between being private and actively hiding. Guess which Benny is practicing? also not to mention not as many peeps are actually interested in him soooo
Will he survive fangirls jumping ship? I actually was thinking lately that it's something more than them girlies....
Last year? Liking sprees on twitter/insta every time Jules made her claims on his dick. Just to keep them around so he can promote the music so it was about them cuz they are the only target. Point to fangirls, boys down.
Last December? He was having meltdowns over christmas dinner. He cried over the mash to salt it x.x barely survived, and then searched his name to like a tweet (made by grown ass woman) that was babying him and telling him he's a perfect good little boy, obvi said in that Madelyn's voice. The fandom got over it and he came back around. No questions asked. Point to fangirls, Benny cries when they mean.
BUT THEN! August/September? He was disintegrating on our eyes. Why? Cuz it got bigger than the fandom. Boy hid from everyone cuz he could not take it. If not for the housewives loving his Narnia baby-face, bunch of russian girlies and well-german-wishes, he would end up like lil Peter Parker at the end of infinity war.
Tho here's a funny thing. The certain peeps I listed above... There's actually a lot of them and they don't mind his bullshite. They either don't consider any of the things a problem at all or are into the public/private separation. They gonna have his flat ass no matter what. What was their #? I still love Benny?
Ye know how it is. Hanging around casual racists and sex pests? Oh! It's private life Hun, I'm only concerned with my sweet good boy's art and his flawless personality.
Technically he would still make it without the NOT real fans, he been losing followers every day for weeks now anyways. And we already learnt that some of the loudly screaming fangirls who proclaim him cancelled every couple of weeks will jump back on his dick on the first occasion. They did actually by now lol If he goes public real public with fairy queen (or anyone really) these lil muffins will still be staying around or will come around eventually. Not counting the fierce protectors here
Soooo yee he is deff terrified of losing his precious fangirls and their prises and their monnney but there's more to it than them and miss twin flame :c He the most stubborn I know everything better person in the world, so Benny gotta do what Benny wants.
Ma guess is that it's just better to be the good boy to the overall public, who see twin flame as a butt of the joke republican barbie and him as mysterious nice guy, his fans approve. She a bad news to his immaculate face. When peeps from outside the fandom chipped in back in August I bet ye he shat his panties for real real this time 🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️ can ye imagine people dissecting two decades of his life which he obsessively been covering up? fairy queen probably just the tip of the iceberg aka only thing ye can see....
He hides cuz there's something that would be bad for all sides of the business if it ever sees the lights of day. IT HAS TO BE It's just easier for everyone when he's not around his fren and rumoured girl miss Jules.
Soooooo to make it short, he indeed has no balls nor the career perspectives to stand by her or anything/anyone else really....
ALTERNATIVELY he hides cuz he's so boring and bland that flour is an exquisite spice in his presence, so he literally just enters a coma/hibernation like state whenever he's not in public lol also he unemployed

i have no idea how i arrived at this train of thought but my brain wont let me sleep so somehow i started thinking about… OCs Described As Writing Utensils? i dont know it makes more sense when you read them ok
venus: a quill made from a peacock feather, dipped in gold and coated in diamond dust
dahlia: a fairy’s quill, from a hummingbird feather. it writes in purple and smells like berry wine
mayzie: a candy pen. no, really, it’s Made of candy. it writes in some kind of horrendous sticky red syrup that smells like cherry and oozes everywhere. the eraser is just a marshmallow and does nothing but spread the candy goo around even more. your hand gets covered in sugar and glitter just touching it. everything is sticky. this is a nightmare
celina/cesare: a beautiful two-sided silver pen. the middle is glass with intricate metal filigree around it, so you can see the ink swirling around inside. it never seems to run out. if activated by magic, one side writes of ethereal dreams, and the other, cryptic secrets. whether they are the dreams and secrets of a particular being, or gathered from many, is unknown.
chris: a tablet pen that writes with light instead of ink, and works telepathically- it can only write and erase at the owner’s will. also functions as a regular tablet pen with any device, and doubles as a flashlight
kadri: a bone with an eyeball (from what, you ask? dont ask so many questions.) set in one side and a sharp point at the other that immediately sets any paper on fire if you try to write with it. “why would you have this,” people ask you, “where did you even get this,” they ask, “it’s watching me,” they complain, “i think it wants to hurt me,” “i can hear it whispering when i try to sleep at night,” blah blah blah, they’re all just jealous of your cool evil bone pen. you can sort of scratch words into things if you work at it enough. the letters always seem to start dripping blood whenever you do that, though. weird.
kalidasa: a smooth black stone slab with a beautiful glossy surface your eyes get lost in if you look at it for too long. your thoughts appear in white, smokey letters if you focus your mind on it. sometimes other things appear, too. you shouldn’t worry about those things.
damian: an elegant but dusty quill made from a raven’s feather, with an inkbottle filled with blood laced with arsenic. there was no reason to add the arsenic, but you just have so much arsenic
dreyden: an old, dented pen you’ve had for ages. it still mostly works. you really should replace it, but it’s your favorite. there was a reason you were holding on to it, you’re sure, but you don’t remember why
crow: a rusty jagged piece of metal. you use it to carve your name into things, mostly. you like the horrific metallic screeching sound it makes when you scrape it against stuff. it isn’t really a pen, but you barely know how to write, anyway
laelia: a glitter gel pen with a mutilated barbie head stuck on the end of it. there’s a crack in one side, so it leaks out on your hands, and the sharp broken edge stabs into your skin if you try to write with it. come to think of it, you’re not entirely sure this is ink. it smells like motor oil and sulfur
roach: a soft, moldy crayon. you’re pretty sure crayons aren’t supposed to go bad, much less grow mold, but this one is definitely rotting. it’s dissolving in your hands before you can even write anything. the stains it leaves won’t wash out for weeks, and it leaves your hands itching and inflamed.
sage: an antique wood and brass pen that doesn’t work anymore, but for some reason you’re still holding onto it. it’s not worth enough to sell. there’s a name on it, but its so worn away you can’t read it. you don’t know who it belonged to- you found it half buried on the beach years ago. but somehow, it feels like it matters.
johnny: a busted up paint pen held together with a hello kitty bandaid that leaks everywhere but you keep insisting on keeping it anyway. you’ve had it for like 10 years and it still works somehow. you call it Kevin. kevin is always there for you
clive: an expensive but somehow terrible artist pencil. its extremely thin and the lead breaks every couple minutes and leaves graphite dust everywhere whenever you use it. it doesn’t have an eraser. why do you still have this. you dont even use it for art, you just write grocery lists and the occasional terrible poem. just get a normal pen
malkin: your ex’s favorite pen. you don’t remember if you stole it, or if they left it behind, or maybe you borrowed it, but you didn’t mean to take it, not really, and it’s too late to give it back, but you don’t want to, you hate them, they don’t deserve it, or maybe you keep it because it reminds you of them, or maybe it’s just a nice pen, that’s all, it doesn’t even matter anyway, you could replace it any time, but you won’t just yet, not right now, not yet,
lex: an obnoxious sparkly pen that gets glitter on your hands and everywhere else every time you use it. you left it in your friend’s bed once (dont ask what you were doing there) and he’s still trying to get the glitter out of the sheets. you’ve been using it to write diaries and doodles for years, and it’s finally starting to run out. you use it less and less, every time hoping it still works, and every time it seems to have just enough left. for some reason, the thought of it dying upsets you more than it should.
zack: a zombie pen you found at some off brand halloween store years ago. it used to make zombie groan sounds, but it’s broken now and just makes a horrible high pitched electronic screech instead. you never use it for writing but it is your most favorite pen in the world and everyone hates you for it which makes it your favorite even more than before

i. vlada
i was born like a shooting-star looking inside of gentle eyes waiting to talk with faeries & the moon, i had no references of a ideal father but a mother because sadness would never take place in my heart at a place where wildness itself was born too without jesus permission.
ii. cherry poison
my first birthday party was strawberry short-cake themed, a november 15th rainy night i remember baby hair-lockets in bows under my mother's bed kept in tiny blush rosy envelopes & friends of catholic church gifts from grocery stores like plastic barbie dolls & hershey chocolates & fake lipgloss & ballet shoes & among all the children's tales books a pair of violet fairy-wings was my favourite from 'em all. my uncle was there too, he was tall & pale & fucked up contours of my face was his too & symmetry of mouth never talking about cigarette breath things that make of me a dizzy girl. trying to cut my bangs & trying to keep coffee away from my hands & trying to make me eat whatever that wasn't sugar when i look in the mirror i see him & his angels & his past dealing with secrets, picturing strangers with a glock pistol in his waist.
iii. alton, tx
bad memories started at age of three at little clown school times of innocence when i could barely sit straight but them make me & wasn't ready to eat but them make me & when i was ready to pee them hurt me to look at my teacher calligraphy, a fourteen-years-old platinum blonde & being obligated to write that shit. sorry mommy, i wasn't ready to suffer abuse & see everything & do nothing, even with arms & tummy filled with bite bruises & warm milk running down my nose.
iv. candybar
rosy pink on a beautiful rose. i finally met my prince charming when flowers grow in the garden & i was home & like mommy i suck into oranges & honey, cherry pink tinted rose, i run from trouble & met another girls that looks like deers. i saw the sun everyday at the dance studio. choking on the table making another scene dancing in silence, deep breath another soft summer night between dreams & reality. the battle that made room inside of me, losing control when i fight & i get blue no names & no calls just kept a final pose, to kept holding myself on then touch touch touch TOUCH TOUCH TOUCH touch touch touch. he made me cum for the first time only by putting his bittersweet lies onto my lips & to ignore his fears telling me what to do, goodbye kisses steals my childhood but that's was twelve tears ago & i don't know who i'm... please, show me. fake tears is all i knew & to paint winter with the colour of your glistening eyes wasn't enough. to give you my mind & to close your doors never was enough. i, sweetly give in completely to you & both of us needed. to wake & die will not clear your mind nothing's ever clear but i know what will, a far way beauty.

TOP 12 PORTRAYALS OF RAPUNZEL
Tumblr media
@princesssarisa​ @sunlit-music​ @superkingofpriderock​ @mademoiselle-princesse​ @amalthea9​ @theancientvaleofsoulmaking​ @astrangechoiceoffavourites​ @notyouraveragejulie​ @tilthenextbluemoon​ @giuliettaluce​
Rapunzel, Rapunzel: lay down your hair so i can climb the golden stair! 
These are the words to call the lady named after a vegetable, so one can climb her hair and visit the tower where she is kept prisoner. At the same time that she is known for her exotic name and very long hair, personality wise Rapunzel tends to get very underestimated. Some adaptations gaved her a pretty passive role, and pop culture parodies would usually paint her as “just a girl who cries for the Prince to save her”, downplaying the inteligence and resilience to adapt into harsh situations that she showed in the original Brothers Grimm’s tale. So today, i will share my twelve favorite portrayals of the long haired heroine, that showed respect to her, gaved her carisma and made justice to her strenghts.
12º The version from ‘The Story of Rapunzel’ (1951)
At the start of his career as a stop motion animator, Ray Harryhausen made, with the collaboration of his relatives, a series of shorts based on fairy tales. Those shorts were ‘The Mother Goose Stories’, ‘The Tortoise and The Hare’, ‘The Story of Rapunzel’, ‘The Story of Hansel and Gretel’, ‘The Story of Little Red Riding Hood’ and ‘The Story of King Midas’ (when this tale started to be taken out of greek mythology and be perceived as a medieval fairy tale in the public conscience), where the characters were silent and the voice was given to a narrator. This encarnation of Rapunzel is more on the naive and passive spectrum, but i like her design and the fact she is animated in stop motion, plus the short is historically significant for being one of the early atempts to adapt her tale , and that’s why she has a place on this ranking.
11º The version from Simsala Grimm (1999)
In this german-french, two plushies, Yoyo and Doc Croc, receive life from a magic book to have adventures inside the Brother’s Grimm tales. They go to the tale of Rapunzel and help her and Prince Egmond get together. This encarnation of Rapunzel is kept as both prisoner and apprentice of Frau Gothel, who wants to turn the young woman into a mean spirited sorceress like her. But Rapunzel can only make spells that create pretty and merry things, like squirrels and birds. It’s a nice touch of humour, and that grants her the Eleventh Place at this ranking.
10º Mackenzie Mauzy in Disney’s Into the Woods (2014)
This movie as a whole is a weak adaptation of the now classic Broadway stage musical. But it had some enjoyable elements, one of them being Mackenzie Mauzy’s performance as Rapunzel. Mauzy has a short time on screen, but in that short time she brings beauty, grace, melancholy and anger to the role, and this makes it stand out enough to be the Tenth Place in this ranking.
09º Linda Purl in Timeless Tales from Hallmark (1990-91)
Timeless Tales from Hallmark was a direct to video series that had a live action hosted by Olivia Newton John and animated segments showing the fairy tale of the day, animated by the Hannah-Barbera studio. Purl’s Rapunzel is the romantic dreamer archetype, who sings her wish to be free. She has two encounters with the Prince before getting caught by the Witch Scarlotta, having her hair cutted and exiled to the distant woods. She reunites with the Prince, who has been turned into a blue bird (i see what you did there, screenwriters), and breaks the spell over him with her tears. She should smell more onions to cry and bottle those tears, that can be very usefull.
08º Tisha Campbell in Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child (1995)
In the bayous of Louisiana, Rapunzel is taken from her parents by Zenobia the Hoodoo Diva (played by Whoopi Goldberg, by the way), who seeks to make her a protege and shows her such neat tricks as voodoo dolls and shrinking her head down. Rapunzel is reluctant to do this when she sees Zenobia is hurting innocent creatures. Rapunzel soon attracts a handsome Creole prince, who must rescue Rapunzel and reunite her with her parents, but Zenobia seeks to thwart the interloper. One of the first african-american portrayals, this kind yet rebellious encarnation is a refreshing take on the character, and that is why she takes the Eight Place here.
07º Mandy Moore in Disney’s Tangled (2010)
After her mother dranked a tea made of a magical flower, Rapunzel was born with a magical hair that is able to heal any desease and rejuvenate anyone who touches it. Because of that, she was kidnapped and emprisoned in a Tower by Gothel, who raises Rapunzel to be insecure and afrayed of the outside world. But her curiosity is more powerfull, and with the guidance of a thief named Flinn Rider, the young lady escapes the Tower and goes on a journey to discover both what is scary and what is beautifull on the outside world with her own eyes, along the way captivating people with her merry and spontaneous personality, wich gives her the Seventh Place on this list.
06º Pamela Winslow Kashani in American Playhouse: Into the Woods (1991)
The lady who originated the role in the Broadway stage musical. Like Mackenzie Mauzy, Pamela Winslow Kashani brings the beauty, the grance, the melancholy and the anger to the role, but with an extra touch of energetic humour, taking advantage of the fact that she is in a stage show and getting intense as possible. That humour in the First Act  is what makes her PTSD and tragic death in the Second Act all the more heartbreaking. Plus, she probably has the most beautifull singing voice ever gaved to a Rapunzel encarnation, and sometimes that is enough to earn a place in my rankings.
05º Mitsuko Horie/Lara Cody in Grimm’s Fairy Tale Classics (1988-89)
This encarnation has a tragic backstory, having been forgotten by her parents after they received a memory spell from the Witch and they had three more kids after her. She is raised in the Tower as the Witch’s granddaughter, and develops a great talent to play the harp. Is the sound of that harp that attracts the atention of the Prince, who comes to the tower and conquers Rapunzel’s love. Sadly, when they are making plans on how to take her away from the Tower, the Witch sees the Prince climbing down, so she cuts Rapunzel’s hair and beats her till unconsciousness before exiling the poor young woman in the desert, where she learns to survive while raising the son that she conceived with the Prince, who searches for Rapunzel despite being blinded by thorns.
04º Luisa Wietzorek in Sechs Auf Einen Streich (2009)
This adaptation gives some interesting touches to Rapunzel’s story and character: until age 12, she lived a nomadic life, travelling in Gothel’s donkey pulled cart. But one day Gothel spots Rapunzel talking with a young boy, and decides to lock her in the Tower, where there is a magic golden haircomb that makes Rapunzel’s hair grow to be used as a ladder by her adoptive mother. Years pass, and the destiny brings the Prince, who was the young boy of the pass, to the Tower where the now grown up Rapunzel lives, and she has to face a dilema: continuing to live in the Tower, that brings the feel of comfort and safety, or taking risks and running away to freedom with the Prince she fell in love with.
03º Kelly Sheridan in Barbie as Rapunzel (2002)
This was my first animated adaptation of the fairy tale, and still is my favorite. In this movie, while giving some painting lessons to her little sister, Barbie tells a version of the Rapunzel story to encourage her creativity: kidnapped as a baby by the Witch Gothel, Rapunzel was raised as a house maid, receiving constant verbal mistreatments. But, thanks to her friendship with a rabbit named Hobie and a dragon cub (who still needs to learn how to fly) called Penelope, and her love of painting, the young long haired lady never lets her spirit be broken, always dreaming of someday go to live free in a castle by the sea. One night, she is surprised to find a haircomb that turns into a magic paint brush, wich can make a portal where she can escape and explore the ouside world, and in her first journey, she meets and falls in love with the dashing Prince Stefan, while asking him to not his name to her, because she is afrayed of being forced to tell it to Gothel. And she doesn’t stay long, because she fears that Gothel will get revenge on Hugo, Penelope’s father, for her escape. Talk about having a great sense of altruism, who wouldn’t want to have this lady as their best friend?!
02º Sylvia Wolff  in Rapunzel oder Der Zauber der Tränen (1988)
This german TV Movie combines the tale of Rapunzel with another, more obscure tale collected by the Brothers Grimm, called Maid Maleen. In this version, Rapunzel growed up very acustomed to the comfort and rich life provided by the Old Witch, using a magic reel to roll her hair in and make it grow to be used as a latter. Even tough she is in love with Prince Mathias, she is afrayed of going to the outside world. Later, not being enough that the Old Witch discovers her secret, cuts of her hair and blinds Prince Mathias, the King, after learning the existence of a maiden in the tower who becamed the love of his son, orders his troops to search the tower and seal its window, because he wants Mathias to marry another neighbour princess he arranged for him! Fortunally one of the soldiers takes enough pity to let a loose brick so Rapunzel can breath. She tries to use the point reel to scratch the clay that glues the bricks, and after cutting herself in the reel and crying over it, the reel regains magic, floating, opening the bricks, helping her to escape  to the outside world and search for her beloved Mathias...
And my Number One favorite portrayal of Rapunzel is:
01º Shelley Duvall in Faerie Tale Theatre (1983)
There were some small changes made in some detailles of the story (radishes replacing rampion to be more familiar with international, non german audiences,  insinuation that the Peasants Wife’s craving of the vegetal was a spell purposefully cast by the Witch, Rapunzel being traped in the Tower at adulthood instead of age twelve and a talking parrot/macaw that tells the Witch of the Prince’s visits), but as a whole, this is probably the most faithfull adaptation of the Brothers Grimm tale, and is all the more benefited for it, specially Rapunzel’s character, portrayed by the shows herself, Shelley Duvall. Duvall presented a very sincere passion for the source material, and in her performance, she showed a deep understanding of Rapunzel’s character and why she resonates with so many people: her rebeliousness, her curiosity, her romanticism, her inteligence, her quiet strenght, her resilience and her sense of hope, all of those qualities that the Grimm’s described in their heroine, are all there! When i watch this episode of Faerie Tale Theatre, i don’t see an actress playing a role, i see an icon of my childhood coming to life!
And that is why Shelley Duvall in Faerie Tale Theatre is whom i consider my definitive Rapunzel.

Early Impact !
Formative Years: Yes I was a mess
but confident nonetheless.
Tumblr media
Ok so I’m gonna bring it back to my formative years growing up I’ve always kind of identified with certain characters & archetypes in the media. Usually the archetypes were definitely confident,creative and femme/feminine which were traits that were innately organic to me. From Winx Club: Stella, Myscene: Barbie, Degrassi: Manny Santos, Sailor Moon: Sailor Venus, Baldwin Hills: Garren Taylor *RIP*, Thats So Raven: Raven, Mermaid Melody: Luchia and Hanon , Mermaids, Fairies, Fantasies, Fairytales, Mythical creatures, Beauty, Photoshoots, Creative Concepts, Models,Horses, Ponies etc. So by this list you can get the gist of the media I consumed as a kid/tween/teen it was very femme oriented and at the time considered *girl stuff*. Its like a pink glitter bomb went off in my head when it came to consuming media because all of the media I consumed was definitely hyper feminine. I always gravitated towards the campiness of hyper feminine looks and stuff. But when I got older about 13-17 it definitely shifted to more fashion, models, looks, creative industry stuff which is around the time I first got onto Tumblr. Then when I first got on Tumblr guess what …puberty HIT.
A is For Angel
Nobody could convince me that heaven
was a place I wasn’t from.
☁️
Tumblr media
I literally went from being a lil nugget to being this gazelle looking boy/thing . I was severely depressed because I didn’t have bulging muscles or looked looked like someone who was jacked up and super hyper masculine. Even though that was never my vibe it got to me for a lil bit until I discovered that the representation wasn’t personally gonna work for me. Then I discovered the VS angels at thirteen, then promptly proceeded to ask my friend if I could have her polka dot PINK dog which she gladly obliged and gave to me. I was like I’m kinda glad I don’t look like that*hyper masc *because that wasn’t my vibe and my bodily proportions gave VS angel 👼🏾. Super long legs, tall lanky, tiny midsection, toned legs and small round and high butt to match.🍑 *still my body type till this day* I dead ass looked like the male equivalent to a VS angel. I obviously loves that. There was no representation in the media that represented me as a person without being a shameful, embarrassing and ridiculous caricature of what Hollywood and the media seen me as especially, since I was Black and ya know 🚬…….not straight. So I had to Frankenstein all my representation and tailor it to myself, my confidence and self esteem. I took a little of this and a little of that to create my own dream representation.This was important because I created something I could personally relate to and consume. I remember on Tumblr at the time VS backstage photos taken by Russel James was super popular and got hella reblogs on this app. So I took the VS models what they exuded as well as what they looked like, and clung onto them for dear life.
We RepWe Step!
Since the main stream media didn’t
have my back, I had my own.
Tumblr media
I clung onto them so hard my freshman year of college someone tried to fight me while I was watching the VS fashion show in the common area of my dorm because I LOOKED and felt like a SUPERMODEL and they didn’t lol. Back to my story I literally made the brands sexuality,sensuality, and confidence part of my personal brand/persona and it worked. *Keep in mind I still act like this* The attitude, the look, the walk, the way my hips swayed and heads turned as I walked by. It was mostly me and everything I built from scratch but part VS. I took what they exuded and applied it to myself. In HS no one was really checking for me but I didn’t care because I had a killer walk that exuded hella confidence which I came to find out was the reason no one was complimenting me at the time because quite frankly they didn’t want my head to get too big. So they tried to humble me. I didn’t even need those compliments either. I knew I looked good, I knew I deserved the world and my demeanor said just that. The compliments I did get were on how high my confidence/self esteem was for my age and my fast paced strut, as far as love interests coming up to me ngl they were definitely intimidated, but not mad at it because it weeded out who was and wasn’t for me. But it didn’t phase me because even if no one told me at the time I was beautiful *whether it was on purpose or not* I felt beautiful anyways because my beauty and body type was validated by society via the VS angels *didn’t matter if they were Black or not I claimed representation from all of them *and NOBODY could tell me shit. You couldn’t tell me I was ugly, undesirable, untouchable, and couldn’t convince me I didn’t deserve the world. When I saw the VS girls I saw myself and @ 15,16,17, & 18 that’s all I needed. Even though I did a lot of ground work on my own confidence internally seeing the VS angels pushed my confidence and ego through the roof and to new levels, which is how good representation works. Good representation makes you feel like you can conquer the world, the feeling of being seen in a world that constantly tries to lock you under a cloak of invisibility really is an incomparable feeling. Even when my friends would compare themselves to the angels *not to sound tone deaf* but I was just like “ Ohh you don’t feel empowered 🙃?”. But I didn’t understand the immense pressure society puts on women/girls because I’m not and wasn’t one. I usually don’t share how the angels have helped my self image/ self esteem in a TREMENDOUS way because I know thats not the case for literally 90% of people especially women. On top of that there is something about super confident people showing people what helps them with their confidence that makes people shit on them even more, so I stayed quiet when it came to the source of my newly cemented self confidence. Not to mention all Tumblr consisted of at that time was fashion models which further watered and cultivated my self image and self esteem as well. * This confidence has stuck with me through today* If I wanted to be part of that fantasy I knew I easily could and that thought alone was all I needed.
The Source
I had to make it work being insecure
was considered a luxury that I knew
couldn’t afford.
Tumblr media
I’ve always identified with confidence in people around me. I’ve always loved when my friends especially my friends that were girls/women were feeling themselves and what they’ve looked like and made it work and got what they wanted out of it. Like I said before I’ve had to search near and far in the media for representation for myself when I was younger that was conducive and positive to my truest self. The confidence of traditionally hyper masculine men didn’t resonate with me because I naturally oozed femininity without trying and I’d already tried to cosplay as straight at 12 & part of 13 and it was beyond unsuccessful . People could tell that energy wasn’t naturally organic to myself, so who was I really fooling. So basically other than the VS girls I got my confidence from slow walking montages in movies where the main character who was some confident feminine being pranced through the halls in slow motion, or served a look or did something aesthetically pleasing. For example Megan Fox in Literally anything she did at the time or any teen cult classic movie with a slow motion walking montage that symbolized the confidence building in said main character. Femininity in action is what fueled my self esteem and still does. I had to find what worked for me and make it WORK for ME.
I Earned My Wings
I was valid without validation.
I used what I had to tailor
my own representation and like
wings themselves, I soared.
🦢
Tumblr media
Not only did they help me develop my self esteem & positive self image, ironic I know. I was also a big fan of their fashion shows, advertisements and creative direction of the brand like everything was lush, rich and uber hyper feminine. All the models would be different renditions of goddesses, angels, fairies and nymphs and various other alluring mythical creatures which also added to the allure of the brand for me. A place where hyper femininity and confidence thrived is why I resonated with them so much, especially since I felt outside of what was deemed normal at the time. You have to remember VS Angels weren’t just models they were a Pop Cultural staple for over 20 years. I loved everything about the production value of the fashion show and to see who would get the BEST wings. I’m still not able to get over the 2015 fairytale fantasy segment where Hozier sang Take Me To Church my fave angel Candice Swanepoel *who by no coincidence is a Libra ♎️ * who strutted down the catwalk in these green fluorescent feminine and delicate sea foam blue green fairy wings that looked like something out of either a mystical mythical Barbie movie or straight outta Pixie Hollow* I WAS GAGGING* she looked so good I was speechless and still am. All the main girls got the beautiful wings and outfits imo especially Candice. Other than the creative production value all the models served CUNT * slang for hyper feminine, fly, bombshell, highly desirable and sought after woman* which ngl made my head that much bigger as well as my ego because similar body type🙈lol. So in conclusion I think its ironic that something that was so exclusive that made so many people feel bad about themselves gave me the confidence to feel like I could taken-on the world beyond the belief I had in myself. I know this isn’t the story that most people have especially when it comes to this brand. I just wanted to acknowledge my own privileges when it comes to speaking about this. I understand what I look like and the vibe I give off gives me access to these certain exclusive spaces,I genuinely am not trying to sound tone deaf. I know when it comes to a lot of things especially self esteem and confidence I identify with things that make people feel bad l/ self conscious like the VS angels or other models and such because I’ve never felt bad about myself in that context. I’m not tryna brag and say omg I’m in these spaces and your not I just wanted to be honest with my journey because at one point clinging to the angels was all I had. I understand self esteem is not built in a bubble but I wasn’t validated by my peers or my family or really in person *other than my grandma* so I found much more sturdier validation in the media that stuck like grits or even better gorilla glue. I had to build my self esteem from the ground up and VS helped me solidify that. I also realize the privilege of finding yourself reflected in the media in any way shape or form can positively impact and tremendously transform your life for the better, just like what it did for mine. Ngl even when I watch old advertisements of theres or rewatch their fashion shows its like a battery 🔋 is put in my back and I’m able to conquer anything, it still has that same affect on me like it did when I was younger. Isn’t that the feeling what we’re all looking for when it comes to what we demand from the media anyways ?
Final Thoughts
Before We Fly Onto
Part Two
Before we pluck feathers from this
brands wings 🪶 I feel like I needed to explain my perspective before we get into the brands blatantly obvious
issues.
Tumblr media
In Part II were gonna really dig into VS and its CORE issues with representation in race & gender politics as well as the deplorable things Ed Razek felt like he had to say for some reason. I just had to to be honest and kinda give my perspective *a different perspective*on how the brand was and how it really did help me feel seen in some way even though it made 95% of their customers feel invisible. I know I’m an anomoly when it comes to this topic because lets be real even though I knew *and still know* I fit into that aesthetic,fantasy and world of models, there are so many people who don’t and are made to feel negatively about why they don’t fit into said fantasy or aesthetic. In part two, the bad & the ugly of their brand will be covered. With an emphasis on their niche marketing, equality issues and creation the of insecurity tactics to push product….like a drug dealer….or in their case a bra & panty dealer lol. I just wanted to make a mini exposé on the brand that covers different perspectives of the brand because everything is nuanced and nothing is ever black and white it’s different shades of grey, or in Victoria Secrets case different shades of PINK 💖👙💕.
Hope you guys enjoyed 💖.
Part Two Coming
Soon…!💋
Tumblr media
Please feel free to comment this is
an open discussion.
💋💖💕👼🏾Xx Angel h0odspice 💖💕👼🏾💋

I’m provoking you to make barbie movie rant. Poke poke *poke you with a stick*
I love you
One of the first barbie movies i watched as a child was nutcracker and it was so terrifying it traumatized me and i cannot rewatch it to this day
Island princess also somewhat confused and disturbed me as a child like "why cant she understand people what" and the whole POISONING ANIMALS thing but i got over it its not terrible lol
When i was 7 i went to a family event sort of thing and they had prizes for the kids and i got to choose between a doll+dvd set of swan lake or princess and the pauper. Iirc i chose swan lake but later swapped because p+p had Two girls on the cover but i eventually went home with swan lake because her dress was pretty. I ended up hating the movie and my friend beheaded the doll (with my encouragement) when i was 12
I hated nori and nalu from mermaida alike growing up because nori was a bitch and at least nalu had that silly carousel of confusion moment but its only very recently that i discovered that norinis actually. Very pretty. Ahem-
BARBIE IN THE 12 DANCING PRINCESSES WHAT CAN I SAY the evil stepmother was terrifying and this movie taught me the word "attire" (gosh for kids movies they sure use a lot of words no one knows) and shine is an absolute Banger and i just love this movie a lot i remember desperately wishing my room had a magical floor opening up to an alternate dimension and imagining what I would use those wishing flowers for
Barbie mariposa was also slightly traumatic cause of the poisoning plot but i really loved the movie otherwise i related to the mc cause bOOKWORM and she was also so pretty aaa i think i had a book from the movie at one point too
DIAMOND CASTLE I GOT THE LIANA DOLL FOR EID AND SHE ONLY SANG ONE NOTE BUT I LOVED HER EVEN THO MY FAVE WAS ALEXA i actually hated the girl in the mirror i cant remember her name now but i found her annoying and out of tune but otherwise man this movie was probably my semi sapphic awakening like WHO WOULDN'T WANNA LIVE IN A COTTAGE WITH THEIR BEST FRIEND LIVING OFF JAM AND BREAD AND BREAD AND JAM FOREVER man ok but the brainwashed betrayal scene was also kind of traumatic at least the ending was happy and so aesthetic omg i need to rematch it tho its been a hot minute
I actually loved christmas carol when i watched it even tho making barbie the antihero was very unexpected it Worked and it was just a great movie tbh we dont talk abt it enough imo
Hmmm thumbelina was kind of a miss for many reasons but when i was about 5 my mom got me a very pretty backpack of it except that also around this time i got a thumbelina book from school except it was based on the 1994 non barbie version so i would always be so confused comparing ginger thumbelina in my book to dazzling barbie thumbelina on my backpack but yk it be like dat sometimes when ur 5 years old
THREE MUSKETEERS IS THE MOST HYPED I EVER WAS TO WATCH A MOVIE i lived in a small town in the middle of nowhere when it came out and had no means of watching it but i aTE the promo materials i got the step into reading books i daydreamed about it cONSTANTLY till one day we finally went to a family friends house who had the dvd and (they warned my sis there might be some scary scenes with the villain) my mom actually caught my reaction on camera im sure ive posted this here before but its so iconic pls
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I need to add that these were both part of group photos and i was the only one Not looking at the camera pls
Mermaid tale 1 and 2 were both kinda meh for me i def enjoyed the first one more but it doesnt stand out in my memory as something id really want to rewatch so yk theyre there i watched em :p
I had the fashion fairytale book for ages before i got around to watching the movie and it was? Ok? I guess? I didn't love the modern day premise or the whole subplot with ken and the animation style was pretty jarring so overall kind of a mid movie and book for me :p
A FAIRY SECRET HAD THE BEST BARBIE/RAQUELLE RECONCILIATION ARC LIKE I DONT REMEMBER JACK ABT THE REST OF THE MOVIE EXCEPT THE MEMORY WIPE WHICH PISSED ME OFF BUT THE BARBIE AND RAQUELLE BONDING kept this one higher than fashion fairytale im still obsessed with them upgrading thru the power of friendship and man i really gotta rewatch this one also i did have a stickerbook of it but barbie looked ugly as sht on the cover which made me sad </3
Princess charm school wasnt one i expected to enjoy so much i think the appeal of the custom uniforms got to me and i just had to watch and ykw it was a fun movie with an enjoyable plot twist and nice antagonist redemption arc i love delancy so much man i actually got a doll of her from my friend one birthday and then swapped her back a few days later for 6 smarties snack packs (we all have our regrets amirite :"3) but i would brush her hair every night before bed and mm yeah i like this movie a lot lol it has its cringy bits but i always rewatch and look back on it fondly
I. Watched princess and the popstar. Before princess and the pauper. Im a terrible barbie heathen i know but i did sort of enjoy it quite a bit and i liked To Be a Princess cause id never heard the superiority of the original and yeahhh i wouldnt rewatch it but its a Thing :"3
SPEAKING OF PRINCESS AND THE PAUPER THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD AND FOR WHAT like ok anneliese is kind of in a privileged situation and to compare that to poverty is eH BUT PREMINGER AND THE PLOTS AND THE SONGS AND EVERYTHING IS JUST SO PEAK I WISH I GREW UP WITH THIS BUT AT LEAST IVE SEEN IT THREE TIMES NOW and plan to watch again in the future
I dont think ive ever liked the pets in barbie movies and i know bibble from fairytopia is a basebreaking character some ppl adore him some people want him dead im kinda just there lol 😭

What got you interested in Barbie 7 years ago? If you didn’t grow up with the movies how did you discover them?
The short answer (from what I remember): I got “Free” stuck in my head one day, listened to it, and then decided to watch the whole movie on a whim. And then I discovered there were many more movies and decided to watch those, too. And then there went the rest of my life lol.
The longer answer: I have literally no idea. I do not remember watching PatP when I was a kid. But I know that I must have, at one point, bc a) the aforementioned “Free” thing, and b) even as a child I was upset by Dominick’s doll coming with Julian’s outfit, bc I knew that was not correct. But I don’t know how I knew that, bc I have no memory of watching the movie. When I watched PatP 7 years ago, it was like it was brand new to me.
I have vague memories of watching the trailer for Nutcracker. I saw a scene from Fairy Secret at my cousin’s house in I think 2011 or 2012, but I didn’t realize what it was until later. I had some dolls from the movies (Dominick, Eric, Daniel, and Odette, that I remember), but I don’t remember ever really connecting any of them to the movies, except knowing that Dominick wasn’t right. Like, I renamed my Odette “Kamryn,” she was never Odette to me. (I played with her a lot, I thought her screening was really pretty.) I wasn’t one for re-enacting movies, tho, my Barbie time was very soap opera-esque, so it’s hard to say if that was the reason the characters became other ppl to me.
On a related note, I actually played with Barbies until I was about 14 (2008). I loved my dolls, and it really killed me when that part of my imagination kinda died and I just couldn’t make it fun anymore. It really did. I loved Barbie so much, and I didn’t want to give that up, even if it was like, a “baby” thing or whatever. And the years between then and when I discovered the movies (2013) ended up being some of THE hardest of my life, and honestly I felt like I was floundering. Barbie was such a huge part of my personality, and without that, I felt like I just didn’t know who I was. Which I know is really dramatic, but Barbie has (almost) always been such a HUGE part of my life. Like, as a kid, I would have days where I didn’t even play with my dolls, instead I would spend that day setting up to play the next day. I took it so seriously. And then there was a huge void in my life when I couldn’t play anymore. I still had an interest, I still liked to look at the doll aisle any chance I got, but I didn’t buy anything bc I thought there was no point. (I wish I’d known about doll collecting then.)
Anyway, those 5 years really sucked, partly bc of stuff that happened, partly bc my life felt like it really had no structure without Barbie. Like, who am I without Barbie? (A question I literally cannot answer, btw.) So finding the movies was like a godsend, a way for me to have Barbie in my life again. (I also started collecting dolls, which was only somewhat related bc I wasn’t just collecting Barbie.) And however it happened, I am just so, so, SO grateful bc it was exactly what I needed at the time, and honestly, it helped me so much. Not just bc it was Barbie, or bc it was lighthearted (which I desperately needed), but bc there were so many female characters that I just adored. I had a lot of internalized misogyny back then, tbh. But I unlearned all of that, bc of Barbie. That’s something I don’t talk about very much bc it embarrasses me to think I was like that, but it’s true. I was 19 and didn’t really know better, but boy do I now. It changed the way I thought about a lot of stuff, for the better.
I have no idea where I would be right now if I hadn’t (re?) discovered Barbie, I honestly don’t. I wouldn’t even have my best friend, or really any friends now, since I met all my current friends either thru my best friend, or thru Barbie. Like. The sheer impact of one random song getting stuck in my head! Incalculable. I can’t believe it. I’m amazed at my luck every day and I’m thankful for Barbie every day and tbh I never want it to be any other way. Barbie forever.

You liked Webkinz too???
Oh FUCK i did like I think I have about 30??? A stupid huge amount, I adored them so much, as a kid I only really liked animal shaped toys like I had one Polly pocket but it came with animal accessories that I cared way more about, and outside of two Barbie's I picked out for myself (a purple mermaid and a gold fairy with some really cool flapping wings that turns into a skirt functionality) I wasn't into barbie at all, hated baby dolls (they stressed me out................I didn't like that they cried......) I was FULLY a webkinz and lps kid, I physically can't get rid of them honestly, so many other stuffed toys i gave away no problem but i cant part with these dudesssssssss, I have a bag in the basement with them hold up
Tumblr media
This way my first one!! She was a tree frog named Cleo and I adored her, she sorta became like the leader? She had an early first series Bluestar vibe (I was also a warriors kid....did I ever stop.....) Except a little warmer? She was nice and wise and strict when needed, I had like a hanging toy holder, like y'know those mesh cylinders with lil segments u can put stuff in? It was sorta their apartment complex? She was like their sorta dorm mother....
Now my FAVORITE one is this lil kitty
Tumblr media
A lilkinz gray and white cat!! Her name was Twilight (loved Twilight Princess even then lol) and I loved her so much if you can tell by her floppiness and her matted fur, I took her everywhere and she was my GIRL she was often the main characters of my playtime story lines
Oh and not a webkinz but this thing
Tumblr media
(sorry I'm holding her like she's a dead body she's just a very floppy plush) is .....God??? .........so I'm not religious and I didn't grow up religious and my first experience with Christianity was like watching veggie tales vhses borrowed from the library when I was like 11 so this was before then and I didn't really know what a god or a Jesus or any spirituality thing was honestly outside of a hint of Greek mythology from like two episodes of Class of the Titans, I just sorta made this plush like the Creator of All Things? She was large and full of secrets and prophecies and she watches over both my webkinz and littlest pet shops (lps viewed webkinz at a distance like greek titans in a way lol)
Anyway important about this god figure, is there was a Jesus figure???? Basically????
Tumblr media
A lilkinz unicorn!! Her name is mystery (the seahorse is her little brother named Lazlo and don't ask how that works) and she was kinda a Jesus even though I didn't know what Jesus was but like she was the daughter of the godhorse and she was mortal like the rest of the webkinz but she had powers and like.....the essence of her mother within her? Almost like....a reincarnation......sounds a lil jesusy? Maybe, I also had a similar Jesus figure among my LPS but it was a lil white cat (don't worry about it)
Anyway I loved her a lot she was my second favourite!! Always a slut for unicorns, one of my favourite book series was My Secret Unicorn if you ever read those sjdhrbejjf
Anyway I won't talk about all my webkinz but I do wanna talk about these guys:
Tumblr media
George and Sparkle from left to right, these two were dating, and like Sparkle was a Mean Girl type character and George was like a shitty hot guy??? Like he was shitty but he got away with it because he was hot? Anyway little girls get NUTS with their plotlines and I was no exception and lemme tell ya...these two's relationship was COMPLICATED like first of all George played with the hearts of many, including Cleo, how dare he do this to my girl.... And these dudes
Tumblr media
Phoenix (eagle) and Rudy (chicken) were both in love with Sparkle and she had this love square situation going on cause Phoenix was even more manipulative than George and Rudy was actually just a normal chill dude but the complexities of the relationships surrounding sparkle was too much for him and sparkle was no peach herself, but she was sorta that mean girl character who like gets better? She softened up around people like Twilight and Mystery and started becoming a better person but her relationships with these more toxic guys kept pulling her back in
Would u believe that in like 3 years this 8 year old will start reading shoujo manga like it's her job and not stop even in her 20s.............wowza
Sorry I got sidetracked!! Anyway I love webkinz, I'm not the biggest stuffed animal person but webkinz are nice cause lots of them have the beans in their feet and also that fabric??? Like like cool feeling one with threads sticking out, on the googles and a lot of the cats, it's a nice feeling.....what is that fabric....reminds me of these weighted lizard I tried when I was hanging out in the spec ed department of my highschool (they let us hang there if we needed a quiet place to do work during a space period or something even if we weren't writing an exam) and it was just me and a couple of the staff and we were chatting since no one else was around and they were talking about a new thing they got which was a heavy weighted plush lizard with a nice cool feeling fabric, every person who put it on their lap was immediately in love with it and they were like put it on ur lap and I was like ok and yeah...I was immediately in love with it) what is that fabric....I like cold fabrics......

Yess we are the same age! Many of the people on tumblr are older so I do feel a bit more comfortable with you than others hopefully that doesn’t come off weird NXJXJXN
And you can rant if you want to, I need something to take my mind of hw as I do it lol
Omg but I will say I love the older Barbie movies but despise the new ones like??? THERES NO FLAVOR
yea people are so older than us a lot of the time but i have found people near my age here and everyone’s so nice so that makes me happy. aww thank you for being comfortable with me! and that doesn’t come off as weird at all! people are more comfortable with people their age and i totally get that! feel free to talk to me as much as you would like, eve! (i can call you that right? 🤗)
but really? you’re letting me rant? (finish up that homework by the way!) so the older barbie movies like 2000-2010 ish ones? becauze i love those! like these are the ones i know i for sure watched:
the princess and the pauper, fairytopia, magic of the pegasus, 12 dancing princesses, mariposa, the diamond castle, a christmas carol, thumbelina, the three musketeers, a mermaid tale, a fairy secret, princess charm school, a mermaid tale 2, the princess and the popstar, the pink shoes, mariposa and the fairy princess, the pearl princess, princess power, spy squad, and dolphin magic.
that’s not actually that much hmm. but i absolutely love barbie movies! like i’ve finished all the ones in netflix already! i’d love to rewatch ones that i watched when i younger, but idk when i have time to 🥺 which movies how you watched?
okay so like when i was younger, i had this one barbie doll that was the same height or taller than me (like 4 foot? idk i was like 5) and i remember that i was TERRIFIED of that doll. but i ended up not playing with it so we put it away.... but i also remember how even though i grew up with 3 boys (my cousins) they still watched barbie with me. i actually really miss them right now like one memory i fully remember is when they wanted to watch power rangers and i needed to sleep. we all shared this large room in the house we lived in and there was a bunk bed so i went on the lower part and they wrapped the whole thing with blankets so i could sleep. like 🥺🥺 precious. i also remember how when it would rain, we’d all play outside together. and how they taught me how to play basketball even though i forgot oops. the four of us were always so close because we were similar ages (1999, 2002, 2003, and 2005) and we’re still close now. like even it i only see them a little bit (like years apart) we are all still super close no matter what. i guess that’s what happens when you grow up together. but anyways, this barbie rant turned out to be a rant about my cousins so i’m sorry for that oopsies.

╰☆╮MUSE 46 — wait, is that cerise “reese” du pont? is it just me or does the twenty-one year-old look exactly like abigail cowen? last i heard, they still weren’t over being exposed by the sentinel. according to the app, they can be credulous & turbulent, but i’ve also heard they're intrepid & audacious. can’t be too sure, people have a way of surprising you. all i know is that they remind me of vape scented smoke appearing in the middle of lecture , filming viral tik tok’s in public , the brushing down of a horse , forgetting a pencil but remembering to bring the juul to class & drinking homemade moonshine for barbie movie drinking games. honestly, the broadcast communications major should try to keep their head down. after the events of last semester, i wouldn’t want to be in their shoes. ╰☆╮
wow hey hi hello!! i’m kaya and this is my lil crackhead, reese!! this got really long because i never know when to shut up but if you want to plot pls hit me up here on tumblr or on discord at medieval 4loko gang#5402
P A R A L L E L S
gigi ( booksmart ) , keanu reeves ( always be my maybe ) , serena van der woodsen ( gossip girl ) , kirby anders ( dynasty )
T R O P E S
hard-drinking party girl , cloudcuckoolander , the trickster , upper-class equestrian , fleeting passionate hobbies , naive animal lover , fearless fool , playing with fire , parental neglect , fantasy-forbidding father
S U M M A R Y
born and raised in wilmington, delaware on the du pont family ranch, reese learned how to ride and compete on her family’s thoroughbreds. she’s a seasoned equestrian who typically competed in eventing and throughout the years had accumulated a series of ribbons and trophies between dressage, cross-country, and show jumping. definitely was a horse girl growing up and tbh still is???? definitely not the type to eat grass anymore BUT if given the chance she will not shut up about them.
a veterinarian before marrying into the du pont family, reese’s mother had their ranch doubling as both a home and veterinary clinic where the kids would help with the animals and keep them company. this caused reese to develop a soft spot for them, one that contributed to her going vegetarian at the age of 12 and eventually vegan at 15. it was also this love of animals that led her to wanting to help the environment they lived in and so her parents put her in girl scouts and eventually her love for the outdoors would cause her to join steinhardt’s outing club.
while her mother, eleanor, also helps out with the du pont family business of breeding thoroughbreds as well as run her clinic, her father, pierre, is a chairman of dupont, a conglomerate who got its start in the black powder market before expanding into chemicals for agriculture, materials science, and specialty products.
he was the type to have HIGH expectations for his family, expectations that reese never met. not that she cared to. definitely not a daddy’s girl, she’ll be the first one to call her father out for being a pompous douche straight to his face. probably quoted this to her father during a thanksgiving toast of “what are we thankful for this year”.
the black sheep of her family, even at a young age she could be found stirring up some trouble and almost always dragging one of her siblings or cousins along with her. a rebellious child who didn’t like being put into a box, she lived in a fantasy world of whimsy, often playing make-believe much to her father’s chagrin. she believed in all things fantastical from fairies to mermaids and while pierre tried to stifle those thoughts, they stubbornly remained.
even through her teenage years she’s held onto the firm belief that barbie lore is real. no one knows if she actually believes that or if it’s all of the drugs and her love for the movies getting to her head, but when confronted about it she will always be adamant that it’s a legitimate form of history.
speaking of history, her concept of it is slightly skewed?? def has weird beliefs of what communists are?? like you’re an android user??? suddenly she thinks you’re a communist????
tbh you could probably tell her something about anything and she’ll believe you without a hint of doubt. research?? she dunno her!! you could say the moon is a government con-job and she’d think it’s a fact??? super gullible and it’s a mess
i guess now would be a good time to preface that she’s dumb. stupid. an idiot. the list goes on but when i say she’s lacking brain cells… i mean it. the definition of head empty, she probably has a bunch of rocks where her brain should be sdfgh. but really, she can be innovative when she wants to be but academically she just doesn’t care to do well. in high school she ditched classes more often than not and was probably the kid smoking under the bleachers.
but where she lacks in intelligence she makes up for in brawn??? def the brawn over brains type who was a jock in high school. competed for her school’s equestrian team but also was on the fencing and archery teams. she once begged to be put into archery lessons after seeing the princess diaries 2 and fencing just came along not too soon after. she also used to run track and play soccer but those two sports ended after her senior year of high school although she probably still plays for the steinhardt’s intermurral league as well as any athletic competitions her sorority, tri-zeta ( zeta zeta zeta ) enters.
definitely the jack of all trades type except she’s passable at a whole bunch of things but good at none of them. probably can change a tire but it’ll need to be changed again soon. can bake a cake but it’ll be a little dry. the list goes on. she’s just very curious and picks up a lot of things but gets bored of them easily so she changes to the next thing.
okay i know i said she could bake a cake but she really…can’t. like with supervision she probably could but she’s impulsive and following directions for that many ingredients??? impossible. she just gets tempted to toss everything into a bowl and wing it and she does that every time. she can however make rice krispy treats. especially if they’re suppose to be edibles dfghj. but ya, don’t ask her to cook bc she can. not.
a stoner and overall drug connoisseur, she’s probably most known for being that kid who forgets to bring their backpack to class but don’t worry!! she remembered her juul!! has a collection of juuls on her person at all times. definitely that party girl who shows up hungover to class whenever she did bother to show up.
calls herself an entrepreneur because she used to sell edibles and other drug-related things and definitely was that tweet where she would give discounts if you signed an environmental petition or went to a protest.
has never said no to a dare EVER. you name it and she’ll do it. and if you dare her to drink cow titty milk or eat a piece of meat she’ll do it but it just makes you a dick dfghj
gets bored easily and tends to lash out and do something chaotic because of it?? the type to spontaneously light a couch on fire because she felt like it. a mild pyromaniac who once learned how to make a molotov cocktail. she can’t do it well. at all. but the one time she did try was also the same day she realized what a dumpster fire looked like.
i’m also not saying she’s out here to ruin your life for her own whims but like home girl has ZERO boundaries for anything. if you want to say she was a homewrecker in a past relationship??? honestly full send because it probably was her. morally she’s chaotic neutral and doesn’t care to be good or evil, she just wants to live her life of chaos and whatever happens happens. it should also be noted that she’s selfish. she puts herself first and others second always.
god someone pls try to start a fight with her. she’d either pat you on the head and ignore you OR go feral and just…foam at the mouth and bite you. probably claims to have gingervitis which is where she like…sprays vegan whip cream into her mouth and just… attacks you. for fun.
WOW ALMOST FORGOT but she’s a big larper!!! loves to go to the ones that are historical-esque where she can be an elf ( because she has a collection of elf ear tips dfghjk ) and acts as a knight/ranger by using her ACTUAL fencing, archery, and equestrian skills. she learned sindarin ( elvish ) for this but also she’s a big lord of the rings fan in general so it just worked out. her character’s storyline is her acting as her cousin, taay’s, protector but she has been known to enroll in a few competitions regarding any of her three skills.
currently selling moonshine alongside her roommates of trap zeta ( also known as the residents of the moonshine & roses subplot ) and so if you saw her running around with stolen pressure cookers, that is why !! making your own alcohol is illegal, but selling it??? even worse so they only sell it to trusted customers and anyone vetted by their usual customers. they probably have secret passwords and shit just like the prohibition period.
speaking of trap zeta, with the exception of fraternities on greek row, they throw the biggest parties. their jungle juice??? fire AND strong but also, they keep it in like....these dispensing chugs with a key so the only ones with access to fill them up or trap zeta themselves. they also have a stripper pole ( or two ) around their living room so like...ya get lit, get twisted, go off ig.
let it be known that their sorority, tri-zeta, is actually known for their stellar amount of community service but after the residents of trap zeta moved in together their sophomore year, the rep for partying started to increase and that’s why the home of muse 46-50 is nicknamed trap zeta. reese has probably been sent to standards way too many times and only got in and is still in bc her mother is a very generous alumni of steinhardt’s chapter of tri-zeta. 
a broadcast communications major, she’s a social media intern for steinhardt’s barstool page but most importantly has a whole tik tok account alongside her roommates dedicated to their college antics. think the hype house except it’s not pg-13 dancing and rly just their crackhead, drunk antics. might eventually make a playlist of tik tok’s that are probably posted on their account, we’ll see.
okay so you know the whole exposing of secrets from last semester??? reese doesn’t usually get mad but rn she Big Mad. like not only are they be scrutinized by the dean but their sorority is too and suddenly tensions are high between tri-zeta bc if trap zeta gets caught they all suffer and their chapter will be shut down and it’ll be a whole ass mess. atm she suspects their customers and even their somewhat rivals, the drug dealers of the ludes plot, but does she suspect anyone from the house??? no not rly
you can find her  stats page here and a wc page here
you can also find her pinterest board here
i also have a reese playlist here and a trap zeta playlist here
