[hellsite-hall-of-fame]

How do you feel about staff's intent to remove reblog chains, considering your blog's basically an amalgamation of reblog chain long posts?

haha I’m actually legitimately terrified and trying really hard to not think about it :)

(seriously like i don’t wanna make a thing of it, but i’ve gone down the posts about it and like wtfff?!? why why why?!?? like I get their reasoning for it but it’s not accurate to the actual users of tumblr?? i’d rather scroll though 20 long posts than use the examples of what this would look like that I saw. but if this is wrong let me know…. but yeahhh i’m scared.)

[urdreamgirls-dreamgirl]

i saw that review on letterboxd of all the rhetorical questions for barbie and like… the more i think abt it, the more i’m certain that the review’s author fundamentally misunderstood the film. barbie land is not a utopia in the way that adults would think abt a utopia, like the author seems to imply… barbie land is canonically shaped by little girls playing with their dolls. that’s why we see a supreme court. thats why there are nobel prizes and authors and lawyers (also because that’s how the toys are marketed… would there be a mermaid in ur utopia??? there would be in mine!). that’s why barbie and ken don’t necessarily know what a boyfriend and girlfriend are “meant” to do (not to mention that the author’s assumption that sex is fundamental to a romantic relationship is problematic at best). that’s why barbie is indifferent to ken (i personally had the life size barbie and my sister had the barbie dream house—we had the working woman barbie game, i had the genie barbie gameboy game, we had countless barbie dolls; we didn’t own a single ken doll lol). barbie land is a world created by and for little girls as they play with their dolls (she says in a comment on the original post “don’t little girls play with their dolls in a sexual way?” and yeah, sure, some do. but i didn’t and i’m sure there are others who didn’t… just like there are some girls who completely mutilated their own dolls and made them into horrifying creatures)… that’s why stereotypical barbie starts having an existential crisis—because a grown woman begins to play with her doll again and starts reshaping barbie land… we, as the audience, are meant to understand this as an outlier to how barbie land is canonically created. the author also calls ken “crass” and “slovenly”… maybe after he builds the patriarchy in barbie land he becomes “crass” but i wouldn’t call him slovenly at any point in the film (i suppose this is just semantics tho).

also, please stop saying that barbie land is a reversal of the real world. it isn’t, even if that may have been the filmmakers intentions. again, barbie is indifferent to ken. she does not abuse him, she does not treat him like he exists to service her by cooking or cleaning or providing other favors for her… barbie does not oppress ken in the way that men oppress women in the real world (we have no idea if he owns property or where he lives and she doesn’t seem to particularly care—extremely different from the fact that women couldn’t have their own bank accounts or credit cards, get a mortgage on their own or divorce their husbands through no fault divorce until the second half of the 20th century in the us… within a lot of our mothers and grandmothers lifetimes!!!!) and it is a complete disservice to conflate or equate the two. we actually see barbie drawing clear boundaries around her time and space in regards to ken—this is not a reversal of misogyny as women and girls experience it in the real world, by any stretch of the imagination.

is the film perfect or revolutionary or radical? of course not. it was produced by major studios and corporations in hollywood. of course the barbie movie is a fucking commercial for barbie, like… to expect anything different is just extremely dumb on your part if u saw the trailer, saw the marketing, saw the interviews, bought a ticket, and sat ur ass in the theater, like be fuckin serious. but don’t do women and girls a disservice by discrediting the world and thoughts and ideas it could open up for them by seeing themselves be taken seriously on screen in a major summer blockbuster with stupid fucking questions because u want to feel superior to everyone else because YOU and ONLY YOU see through the capitalist marketing of lipstick pop girlboss feminism (especially when juxtaposed with the way the female characters are treated in oppenheimer, which we cannot help but compare to the barbie film with the viral marketing of barbenheimer).

Dance The Night Wild Kratts Outfit Inspo?

@kikibbgaming Generously offered to draw the Wild Kratts dancing to Dance The Night scenario I described in the post below. I am so grateful for and excited for this!

One commenter, @moonunderfolklorenostalgia , asked if the outfits the Wild Kratts characters wore could be inspired by those worn in the Barbie movie, so I offered to help out and post some outfit references!

So, here are the outfits I think best fit each Wild Kratts Character, but feel free to change them up as you like while you are drawing them! If anyone has any other recommendations for the outfits feel free to share them!

See below the cut because this is long!

Chris and Koki - 🤠 Western Barbie and Ken 🤠

I lowkey think they would look so cute in western wear! Come one…With the boots and hats, so cute!!!! And the stars in the outfit tie in with Koki’s signature star shirt! I also think Chris would just own this look, lol.

Martin and Aviva - 🛼 Sporty Barbie and Ken 🛼

Aviva’s been known to wear rollerblades in the show, so I think sporty Barbie’s outfit matches her vibes very well. Martin is just such a funny and goofy guy, so I think this outfit is a perfect match to his colorful personality.

Jimmy Z - 🌊 Beach Ken 🌊

Jimmy Z’s got that laid back, chill attitude, one that totally pairs with beach vibes, so I imagine him rocking and loving this laidback look. Maybe he’s got a tank top and a pink and teal hat worn backwards to complete the look?

Donita (and Dabio?) - 🪩 Disco Barbie (and Ken?) 🪩

She’s such a fashionista, she has to be wearing one of the most fantastic outfits in the film, the one that’s like a literal living diamond because it’s so shiny. And Dabio’s her loyal companion, so he’s going to have to wear something to match her, instead of a K he has a D on his outfit.

Gourmand - 🛳️ Nautical Ken 🛳️

So we’ve seen Gourmand wear stripes before in some of his outfits, and that gave me the impression that this would be a perfect fit for him, plus I think he’s enjoy the sailors hat as a change from his chef’s hat.

Paisley - 🩷 Pink Jumpsuit 🩷

I doubt Paisley would willingly wear pink, but since this outfit is functional she might don it. Oh and if Rex was in this, she’d probably make him wear a pink jumpsuit with her so she didn’t have to suffer alone, lol. He’d have an Assistant sash and she’d have a boss sash or something 😂

Zach - 🖤 Ken’s Fur Coat/ Leather Outfit or Black Outfit 🖤

Okay…Might be the Zach lover in me loving all these outfits, but I can’t decide which would be best for him! I kind of think he’d like the all black one because it’s practical, but I also think he’d be into the drama and flare of the coat/leather outfit. If he wore that one he’d totally have a V necklace and a fanny pack with Zach written on it, lol.

of all the things my disabilities have taken from me . i really miss going to the movies :(

[softgrungeprophet]

real talk if anyone on here ever wants to like... buy me a DVD i will totally draw a real quick bust or whatever in exchange, i have a target wishlist registry thing and everything 😂

Like it says in the note thing on the page, DVD or DVD/Blu-Ray are both fine, regular (not 4k) Blu-Ray is probably fine since my PS4 should be able to play those, but I only have a regular-ass PS4, not a PS5, I cannot play UHD, so if something is 4K UHD please make sure it has either a DVD or a regular Blu-Ray as well...

Anyway it should be set up so you can buy stuff off my registry without me having to blast my address to the world (lol) so if you do this, send me an ask or something off anon (so I can like, contact you) (that or like, send me a message on discord if we're friends, or w/e) and I will def draw you a little drawing as thanks 👍

i have so much rage contained for this one person and i feel so dumb about it because they are out there living their best life while i’m fantasizing about ways to shut them up

[strawb3rries-eternity]

My immediate response to people who hate on fucking BARBIE having a Hollywood movie as their personality trait:

[izzy-b-hands]

Trying to make my brain do anything today has just been case after case of 'well, half-assed is better than nothing I guess.'

[eclipsecrowned]

seeing an event go down in real time on the dash and then less than a week later seeing the telephone version pop up as a psa completely misrepresenting what happened from other moots.

ah, tumblr.
