#like the only one who doesn't is the fucked up barbie but her whole thing is others making jokes that she looks like a freak

[lesbianjudasiscariot]

also the bit where america gives her speech that cures the barbie??? because they couldn't defend themselves from the patriarchy on their own??? is a somewhat good message but the entire movie disagrees with it. she points out how tiring and bullshit it is for women to be put into boxes and follow arbitrary rules that make them "good women" in society but still the end of the movie has everyone completely adhering to the current standards of the patriarchy but now america has more of a say in what a major corporation advertises to women.. yay girlboss capitalism

and another thing about the barbie movie it is so weird that for the daughter character her story line is to go from being a normal teen finding independence while wearing dark baggy clothing and being a feminist (bad) to following her mom around in a pink dress with a bow and totally letting go of her feminist beliefs like what the fuck.

I wanna talk about the pride artwork for HB, because like a lot of other people I have some thoughts.

Firstly, positives:

It overall looks pretty good imo. The colours are bright and the picture has nice energy. I don't mind the HB/HH artstyle in general, it's mostly the designs that are the problem (the designs in HB are better than in HH). It is very cluttered, but I sorta learned to deal with that and I don't mind as much here.

Millie being there for Moxxie is cute and she looks amazing.

The outfits for some of the characters look good.

Sallie May being a Lesbian is nice (idk why, it just is).

Verosika looks great and very pretty (as always).

I like the idea of Loona taking Octavia to her first Pride parade. I like the idea of them hanging out in general and I want to see more of that.

Beelzebub looks cute.

I like the face Barbie makes (idk either).

Now onto the things I don't like:

Some of these sexualities seem kinda like they were just made up on the spot. Loona being Bisexual is nice, but she literally only ever showed interest in guys and there was never anything that could lead us to assume that she's Bi. The same thing goes for Mammon or Andrealphus. For Andrealphus it seems like they just made him gay to excuse the weird comments he makes about his Sister and especially since a lot of people started using their weird relationship to imply that Stella has some problems as well and isn't just a heartless bitch. Now they can basically just say: "Andrealphus isn't weird towards Stella, he is literally gay, why would he harrass her". I don't mind as much with characters like Bee or Barbie, because they only showed up once and it would've been pretty difficult to confirm their sexualities.

A lot of people mentioned Mammon being Ace just seems like an excuse to not put him in sexual merchandise or something. He is the only fat character in HB (who is actually relevant) and he is one of the two ace characters. It feels sorta disingenuous when the only two ace characters are a teen and the single fat character you have. Especially since, if I remember correctly there were a lot of people (including me) who found Mammon attractive and were looking forward to more sex-positivity for plus sized folks, especially when in Vivzepops shows theres only him and Mimzy (Adam as well maybe).

Why do a lot of the pansexual demons in this show feel stereotypical. Bee and Asmodeus are fine, the background demons as well I guess. Blitzø is super horny all the time and could fill a whole party just with people he slept with. Verosika and her followers are succubi who we saw sexually assault Moxxie. Barbie Wire manipulated a teenage/barely legal human to do what she wants by using her body. And Chaz is a literal and very open sexual harrasser/abuser. The only joke he has are making unwanted sexual remarks toward Moxxie and being horny. He has a sign that says: "I will fuck anything", which isn't what pansexuality is and the wording makes it really weird ("anything" not "anybody"). And he looks at Andrealphus weirdly. Him and Blitzø are also naked for no reason.

I would've loved to see some nonbinary/genderfluid/genderqueer characters. We don't have one confirmed genderqueer character. How about nonbinary Octavia or Vasago. Or genderfluid Moxxie. Or bigender Barbie or something. I just wished we had anything like that. Also a personal headcannon of mine, but Asmodeus should probably be Polyamorous. He is the incarnation of Lust and with how they wrote him in the show it's kinda hard to believe/doesn't make sense that he is in a monogamous relationship.

Where are Mayberry and Martha? They were confirmed to be sapphic and so far they're the only sapphic characters in an actually sapphic relationship we see in HB. Why does Wally get to be there but they aren't? Why is Vasago there instead of them, when he hasn't even showed up in an episode yet? Why is Vasago there in general? It's not like i'm gonna be happy with him being confirmed to be gay because there is nothing we know about him yet.

Why is Tex not there? Did they just forget him? He might be straight but he could still be there to support his girlfriend and isn't he literally Verosikas bodyguard. He was at the weird Blitzø hate party with her, but not here?

Isn't Chaz dead?

Why would Asmodeus and Fizz go to the same parade as Mammon, when the only episode with Mammon so far has dealt with how much he hurts Fizz.

You might say: "This isn't supposed to make sense, it's just a more interesting way to confirm characters' sexuality for pride month, so it doesn't have to make canon/logical sense". Which I would agree with, if they didn't excuse Stella and Striker (two pretty important characters) not being there by saying something along the lines of: "Do you really think they would attend a pride parade?". Maybe not, but I also don't think Chaz would attend a parade, being dead and all. I also don't think that Barbie would go out of her way to go to hell, just to attend a pride parade, especially since her brother is there too. I also don't think Andrealphus would go out of his way to go to a parade filled with imps and people he doesn't like. I also don't think Mammon would be there because it's nothing that brings him money or something. Stella might be straight and that's the reason she isn't here. But her brother (who she seemingly likes and confines in) is there and she could go to support him and her being straight isn't even confirmed, so she could very well be queer. And isn't Striker queer as well? Im sorta confused with that, because they try to make him a bigot (probably also homophobic), but the scene he has with Blitzø in "Harvest moon festival" seems very queer. His offense at sexual remarks could also imply that he is a very sex-repulsed asexual or Demisexual or something. Unless of course they want to use the fact that he doesn't like sexual remark from men as a way to make him seem homophobic (even though him reacting bad to unwanted sexual remarks doesn't mean he's bigoted, like that's well within his rights to be uncomfortable). It's not as if Viv shows restraint with making villians/antagonists queer in general. Mammon, Chaz, Andrealphus are all antagonists in HB and are also there. In HH they literally went out of their way to confirm Vox being in a relationship with Valentino, a rapist. It seems like being Straight/Bigoted/too much of an asshole to show up only applies to the characters who actively dislike Stolas and to the only main female antagonist.

shidou who hates leaving bimbo!reader's side.

c/w . implied female reader, implied smut, fluff, angst ??, possessive shidou wc: 1 k a/n . ngl this took forever and it's cause it ESCAPED me oh my... it might get messy at some point and i am SO SORRY . also im slowly becoming a shidou x bimbo!reader blog this is crazy, they're just so fun to write ugh reblogs and comments appreciated ✧*.

from my shidou x bimbo!reader pt 2

it's already a problem when you have to leave to go grocery shopping or anything of the like. he tries to find every excuse under the sun to go with you, even if he doesn't have to and you live right beside a convenience store.

"ryu baby i just need to go out and get that tiktok hair mask! you don't have to come-"

"yeah yeah shut yer trap doll i'm comin'. what if my baby needs a big strong guy to help her take her things?" he flexes his muscles, smirking as you gulp.

and you're too sweet and dumb to remember that you only need to get one thing, lowkey wanting shidou to be with you cause you always forget what you wanted to buy.

"mm...but i don't wanna waste your time ryu..."

"what if ya chip a nail-"

"omg you're so right! thank you baby, you're the best!"

he'll insist on going with you and it's all fun and games until he thinks someone's looking at your cute sequence miniskirt or your tight Barbie tanktop too long.

seems like some people can't take the hint - even with his arm snaked around your waist. one thing leads to another and he's in a fight for your honour, grinning madly and thoroughly fucking up the person staring you down.

because of his reactions you tend to sneak out and get the things really quickly - this doesn't usually work out though cause shidou always has tabs on you. he's obsessed after all!

this always ens with you getting a 'punishment' which can range from having to sit on his lap and feed him grapes to letting him have all the fun he wants with you.

if you get what i'm saying ;)

it's even worse when he has to leave you for a whole different country. he regularly goes overseas for matches and you almost always go with him.

but your scatter brained self will forget the dates and there are times you can't go with him because you forgot to take the days off.

and when he finds out he's so, so sad - never mad because he never gets mad at you. loves you too much.

"doll~ oh my cute, dumb baby doll~!" he squishes your face till your lips pucker, making you look at him as he pouts at you. "why'd ya gotta hurt me like this baby~?"

"didn't mean to ryu!" your speech is muffled, fingers wrapping around the wrist of the hand holding you hostage. "forgot..."

he sighs exaggeratedly before pecking your pouted lips, pulling away with a grin. "it's okay baby. it's ok," he sounds like he's saying that for himself. "just spend all yer time with me now, kay?"

as the days creep by, he becomes much more clingy. he becomes more quick to anger on the field, scoring much more and becoming so much more aggressive in his plays.

he never brings that energy home though, he treats his baby doll with so much care, he wouldn't dare make them cry.

he only brings that drive with him into the bedroom 🥵

you've been trying to make up for your mistake by pampering him more. leaving more lipstick kisses on his face and neck and making more beaded bracelets. you'd even made him an altoid wallet with polaroid pics of you two!

not gonna say he cried when he saw this but....

you pack some pink bandaids and hair clips in his luggage, and even let him take your favourite stuffed rabbit.

"please look after mr hannah montana! he can't have gluten and seafood and he hates the colour green so please don't put him in green clothes."

"okay baby-"

"and he also needs his fluff brushed in the morning!"

"yes-"

"and he hates being in a luggage so you have to hold him in your arms!"

"anythin' for you doll~"

and when that fated day arrives he gets so, so obnoxiously clingy. singing 'i love you's and 'i'll miss you's as he hangs off your shoulders, arms snaked around you. it was like he was trying to be a part of you.

he was :) he always wants to be inside you, sexually or not

he holds you like you're his lifeline. kisses you like it's your last.

you're both in the airport, a hand holding his duffle bag, the other holding yours, mr hannah montana in your arm as you try your darn hardest not to cry. your nails are digging into shidou's hands but he doesn't say anything.

he needs to feel you clinging to him. needs to feel you need him. cause he won't be able to have you for a week and he thinks he might die thinking about it.

who's gonna kiss his 'boo boo's when he gets into fights? who's gonna paint his nails and blow dry his hair while talking about what happened at work?

who's he gonna kiss and hug and fuck?

fuck, he's going to die.

"ryu..." your whiny tearful voice breaks him from his thoughts, his grip tightening around your hand. "gonna miss you so much-!"

your mascara falls with your tears, jaw quivering as the time for his flight comes closer and closer.

"oh doll." his coo makes you pause, his hand let's go of yours only to come up to your cheek. "'m gonna call ya everyday and yer gonna send me pictures everyday, right?"

"yeah..."

"and ya got that pile of clothes in case ya get lonely?"

"course!"

"good. i'll be back so fuckin' fast baby you won't even have time to miss me~" his handsome smirk is splayed on his face, "and don't forget," he leans in close and kisses you passionately, tongue sneaking in your mouth as his hand moves to hold your throat.

when you pull away, you're breathless, panting and gasping air greedily, a string of spit connecting your lips. you don't even think about the fact that you're in an airport with his teamates staring at the two of you. you can't think about anything other than shidou ryusei.

"'m yours and yer mine, no matter where i go."

thots on dofuwani?

The only thot around here is Doffy, but you're so real. The universe wanted you to say it, don't worry. No apology needed because you're right.

Okay, so my actual thoughts:

I love it. Not my favorite ship for Crocodile but definitely my favorite ship for Doffy. I love the dynamic and I love their different aesthetics. It's not even a deep thing this time and I am not going to analyze shit, I just want them to fuck. They have so much exes energy but Doffy doesn't understand what breaking up means and keeps bothering Crocodile anyway. Actually, not even exes, they fucked once and Doffy became weirdly obsessed with Crocodile and he can't stand him. Doffy waits around like a dog for Crocodile to pet and maybe Crocodile ends up keeping him because he's kind of, sort of, maybe a bit fun. Actually, scratch the fucking part. They didn't even fuck. Doffy saw Crocodile and instantly decided "yes, I want that one" and he's been the most horrible and annoying person in the whole universe after he managed to fuck him. It's like what if a very fucked up Barbie became weirdly obsessed with a mafioso and the man just kept her around because dealing with her is easier than getting rid of her. Then it's when some love starts to happen. Not very deep stuff but they kind of care about each other. But it's in a very fucked up possessive toxic way and not romantic at all and they both should be sent to a fucking therapist right now. Or jail. Crocodile thinks he's the normal one but he's not. It's like he hates Doffy but can't live without him. He can't live with him either. It's complicated. Actually, he starts catching feelings. Maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome. It's definitely that. Maybe it is romantic if you go back to when they were young and there was kind of a spark between them until Doffy opened his mouth and spoke for the first time. And maybe the spark is still there, who knows. Maybe Crocodile really does love him in some universe. It really depends on how you write them? I'm a softie, honestly, so if somebody manages to make them actually be in love I am obsessed with it. And if they're just fucked up? That's great too.

I don't think Blitz is a bad character

**SPOILERS** For all of Helluva boss  I don't think Blitz is a bad person as much as everyone makes him out to be. Remember that these are all my options, and if you disagree with them, that's fine! To start, in the latest episode S2, E10. When Blitz was having the flashbacks? I don't know if you would call it that but when he was all the times he had felt like he hurt/made people hate him. When it showed Cash, raising his hand. We can assume it was to hit Blitz, and from what we have seen of Cash's personality we can assume he would hit Blitz frequently. More than likely from the smallest things too. Personally, that's just the type of person Cash seems to me. Also when Paimon offered to buy Blitz Cash let Blitz go rather easily. What I'm getting at is that a lot of his 'I'm not good enough, and never will be' Trauma came from his childhood.  We can also gather from what we have seen from the show he feels as if other people's love is conditional. Because his whole "relationship" with Stolas was started over Blitz burrowing the book from Stolas. And Stolas got sex/sexual favors from Blitz. When Millie was going to decline the client in the latest episode, blitz pulled out the unconditional support paper. It was Millie or Moxxie would have to poke one of the circles. Where he wouldn't be their third on one of their dates. Though I'm sure there are many more scenes in the show that he has to do things to feel like he's doing enough to be loved. But those are the only two that are coming to my mind now.

Throughout the show, we have seen Blitz trying to prove himself worthy. As in his company I.M.P., since Blitz is an IMP, they are one of the lowest classes in hell or other words, the working class, as they have put it in the show and the helluva boss wiki. He felt as if his work wasn't good enough and he had to prove himself to everyone who looked down on him. This can also have added to his 'I'm not good enough and never will be' Trauma but he does his best not to show it because he wants people to believe he is good enough to be his boss. Also just adding onto this there have been so many times when Blitz has been uncomfortable. As in Stolas calling Blitz Blitzy, Stolas talking down to Blitz constantly, and Blitz telling Stolas not to try to fuck him when they went to loo-loo land and Stolas just taking it as a joke, or when Stolas called Blitz "Big dick Blitzy" Even If it was never outright said he was uncomfortable you could tell he was.  Blitz does have a big fear of abandonment, as in truth seekers when he and Moxxie were high. Moxxie was going up the large stairs 'Does it seem like a recurring thing that you alienate your toxic routine? I don't know eventually everyone goes 'cause you're thoughtless and cruel and you'll end up alone.' further proving my point that he feels like everyone is going to leave him in the end. He tries to keep everyone at a distance, so he doesn't hurt them. But in doing that he just does the thing he never wanted to do. Just like with Veronika he up and left her after she said she confessed her feelings to Blitz and got a tattoo of his name on her arm. Which he got scared of and ran away. Just like when Barbie disowned Blitz which we can assume she disowned him because Blitz killed their mother. Though it was never said in the show this is why, but we can just assume this for the time begin. Then most likely after her death Barbie ran away disowning Blitz to get as far away from Blitz as she could. This just furthers my point of blitz having a fear of abandonment. 

Blitz has self-image issues, if you look in his apartment at the wall. You can see all the pictures of him being scratched out. We can conclude that he doesn't like himself, which with everything that we know about Blitz is true. Even though his words 'I don't want to be with way not forever' and 'I destroy everything I destroy everyone I make everyone's lives worse' added to his self-image issues. He doesn't like who he is as a person. 

He has a lot of self-destructive and impulsive behavior. For when he went to Bee's party and got drunk to wash away all his problems from his failed date at Ozzie's. Or how he has so many exes which from what we know of Blitz he probably went through a depressive episode and went out and had sex with a bunch of different people so he could feel something other than just pain. To add to this blitz has a problem with keeping friendships. Like when he told Millie she was his first real friend. We can assume all his other friends had left him of his behaviors. Plus with his relationship with Stolas, Blitz rejects Stolas's love because he doesn't think Stolas could ever love him. Especially since Stolas is royal and Blitz is the working class. 

He has a lot of anger issues. Like when he was drunk and yelled at Dennis for seemingly doing nothing besides saying his name. This could just be from the alcohol. But still goes off on other people rather easily. Just like when the I.M.P. were outside and their client was rushed off to the hospital, Blitz went off of Moxxie. (Which was understandable, but still just showing more signs of Blitz having anger issues.) Or in full moon, blitz going off on Stolas when they had that fight. However, it was Blitz feeling as if he was abandoned by Stolas when Stolas gave Blitz the crystal. With knowing blitz is understandable why he had that reaction. But still, he went off on Stolas. Or in  Apology Tour he yelled at Stolas when they were walking through the garden. 

Blitz also blames himself for so many things. Like the fire, he was the one who made the person carrying the cake slip and the candles that were on fire made the tent go up in flames. Causing Fizz to be caught in the fire and Blitz not help him. Also, his mother died in the fire. So he blames himself for everything that happened. It wasn't his fault it was an accident but in his mind, he doesn't see it that way, he just blames himself.  He also hates himself more than he hates anyone else. Take example in the previous paragraph, he blames himself for the fire. Making him hate himself for the fire. For losing his mother, one of the people he loved and cared for most in hell. From what we have seen he had a fairly close relationship with her. Like in ghostfuckers, he ran to her when he had a bad dream. When we have bad dreams we tend to the person we feel most comfort in. Which for him was his mother. Also because of that, he feels as if no one can love him. That's why he pushes everyone away, feels like Stolas could never love him. That no one can ever care for him, That he doesn't deserve to be cared for or loved by anyone. Take for example he tried to connect with his sister Barbie after finding her again just to be rejected by her. He's scared that if he ever loves someone they will just leave him. That's why he leaves people first, Because in his mind if he leaves first then they can't hurt him. But deep down he just wants to be loved and cared for but he's too scared because of everything he's been through.  I honestly think that him adopting Loona was one of the best things he had done. Because he was probably in a really bad place in his life when he adopted Loona. Loona who was in the same position as him. She was in a bad adoption center and the woman Blitz was talking to was making Loona out to be a bad person who would never amount to anything. I think Blitz saw himself in her, and that's why he got her. Even though at times it seems like Loona hates/dislikes Blitz, she loves him. She just like Blitz has a hard time showing how she feels. But does truly loves him just in her way. 

I just think Blitz has saved everyone in I.M.P. Blitz asked Moxxie to join him when they were both in jail. He helped Moxxie escape and then they started I.M.P. Then when he met Millie she had just taken I.M.P's hit so maybe she wasn't doing too well on her own. Though I could be completely wrong that's what I got from that scene. So I think in a big way he saved both of them and Loona. Plus in doing so Moxxie and Millie got together causing them to get married. They would probably have never got together if it wasn't for Blitz. Even if they do have issues at times I think they see each other as a family. Because Moxxie and Blitz both had bad dads and both of their mothers died. Loona's family is unknown but we can assume they either abandoned her or they had died, Even though Millie's family seems rather normal. Lin did seem rather disappointed a few times throughout Harvest Moon. So I think they see each other as a family. They all care for each other, and even if Blitz doesn't feel like he can be loved, it's very clear that Millie, Moxxie, and Loona all care for him and he very much so cares for them. Even if he has a hard time showing it.  Remember these are all of my options on Blitz. I am not saying his 100% perfect and does everything right. If you read this would have very clearly seen that I am not saying he's perfect. He's very much so not, I think he's an extremely relatable character to a lot of people. He has a lot of issues that people tend to overlook because they just want to see Blitz as a bad character. Especially when it comes to him and Stolas. A lot of people I have seen tend to victimize Stolas, which Stolas is not this perfect character either, he has done a lot of wrongs himself too. I will talk about that another time. But overall I think Blitz I a really good character and how they portray him is well and very relatable to a lot of people because of how he acts. Maybe this will help other people view Blitz differently and stop blaming him for everything.

i honestly feel like the effeminate gay thing is smth that people do to make queer men seem as non-threatening as possible. like see they are the good ones because femininity = good and harmless, masculinity = scary and evil

That's literally it. And it's something we do to ourselves too because of the stereotype.

I've known men who play up their feminity because they don't feel space in queer spaces otherwise. I worked an event with one once where he was doing THE stereotype behaviour—the fag hand, the lisp, the hip tilt, the "guuurl" and "sisterrrr" and giggles and acting like an absolute princess. Think James Charles, but bigger and buffer. He had a runner's body.

And then as soon as the event's over it's just me and him in the building, cleaning up stacking chairs putting tables away, and this cunt goes in one of the deepest gruffest voices I ever heard, "[heavy sigh] That was a fucking chore."

And he's standing like a man. Like a very exhausted, but very masculine, man. No hip tilt, no lisp, he's raking his hair back with his black painted nails and asks me if I can find some wipes to get "this shit off" while he gestures to his face (referring to his very vibrant eye shadow). So I get him some wipes and he's grumbling about how bullshit it is that he "has to do this" and I don't know what the fuck he's talking about, but then I realise this bloke is like... Actually really masculine. He's got a short beard, he looks like he'd be better fit in a business suit or in shorts at a barbie than at this event in a "QUEER IS HERE" rainbow tie-dye shirt and black skinny jeans.

And he looks at me and kinda sighs and goes "How do you stand it?" And he looks me up and down.

"Stand what?"

"Way they look at you like that. Like they hate you."

And I don't know what the fuck he's talking about, because I'm 21 and dumb and just excited to be at a pride event cuz I get to go to them so rarely. But then I think about how the pair of lesbians looked at me. And one of the drag queens, and the trans woman, and that transmasc kid who came with his mum, and the two gay men there were both effeminate twinks, and he's right. No one talked to me. No one approached me. I was an outsider the whole time, treated like an invader. The only two people who spoke to me was a woman who cracked onto me and I told her I'm only interested in men (was still recovering from my losing my gf and I wasn't interested in a hookup) and she tried flirting harder like she could convince me, and this bloke, who saw me standing myself twiddling my thumbs and asked if I was ok.

And I think of that cis-passing FTM bear I met at my first pride event, and how no one talked to us, and we spent the arvo into the evening just drinking and shooting the shit with each other cuz no one else would even approach us. And I think of the comments that were made about them "not feeling safe around men", and the way they'd glanced at us when they said it.

And things click.

And then he walks over to me, and puts an arm around my shoulders, and puts a tinny in my hand and says that puts himself on like that cuz if he doesn't, he's ostracised within his own community. He's scorned by his own fucking community unless he files down his male edges into something effeminate and timid and harmless. If he doesn't he's ignored, or people say they're uncomfortable around him because he acts and looks too masculine, or he's asked to leave because people don't feel safe with him there.

I don't go to pride events anymore.

Hey y'all, sorry I'm late but I'm back with another one of these Helluva Boss opinion thingies-

Alright so the new episode, to be honest I enjoyed it more than the previous ones but I have to admit it still has its flaws. So let's discuss that.

So there's the whole Ozzie and Fizz being together, being all lovey-dovey. And honestly? It's the cutest shit I've ever seen. Stolas and Blitzo wish they could have that lmao

I also wanted to point out that I absolutely love the aesthetic of the Lust Ring (well mostly because it's purple and blue with neon pinks, which is different from the usual red that Viv is so obsessed with-). My only complaint however?

Is that the background should be slightly darker because characters like Ozzie blend a little too well with them. I mean, I can understand why the background is bright and all that, but Viv just loves to make her characters be barely noticeable in the shot-

Now, there's a few things I don't like about this episode, for starters, the pacing was absolute dogshit. Like, everything went by so fucking fast, I had to often pause the episode several times just to look at shit in the background or just the scene in general. It was a hard episode to digest, really.

Another thing I found stupid and unnecessary was the whole Ozzie signing contracts with Stolas- it was very out of place and like, it honestly felt like they just added that to pat the run time. Not only that but, why couldn't Ozzie just go to the Greed Ring and beat the crap out of Crimson and his goons for kidnapping Fizz? Like, I was legit expecting Ozzie to go in and do some crazy shit but he didn't- he just stood there, signing a bunch of papers and for what?? Fr that shit was anticlimactic.

Then there's the "accident" that caused Fizz to lose his limbs and horns. Honestly the scene was somewhat impactful for me but at the same time it went by too fast. And not only that, I hate that Blitzo admits that it was his fault, yet he makes everything about himself like- COULD YOU NOT DO THAT, YOU FUCKING DIPSHIT??? And you know what makes me even more mad about this scene? Is the fact that Blitzo had feelings for Fizz and was going to confess to him- WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? Istg can Viv stop making Blitzo being this uwu pathetic sad baby of an OC who fucks everything that breathes? (no wonder she made him canonically pansexual, it just shows-).

I also think it was stupid to make Fizz apologize to Blitzo- like, I don't care if what he did was an accident, that shit was fucked up. And it just seems so off that Fizz was all like "yeah you fucked me up and ruined my life but y'know what? I forgive you because plot reasons". I dunno man, it just doesn't sit well with me.

*Edit: I personally would've much preferred if Fizz didn't apologize to Blitzo, kinda like how his sister Barbie did. Where she just told him to fuck off and that she never wanted to see him again.

There's also the song that Fizz randomly sings at the end- it's terrible. I legit cringed the whole time while watching the entire scene. And finally uhh, Striker and Crimson working together was really stupid, it felt like a desperate attempt to make something look cool but it failed miserably.

Anyway, that's all. Thanks for reading, uh bye-

Fuck it, Reddie Barbie Island Princess au.

Richie's just this poor castaway prince with no memories of who he is or why he's even there, all he has is a little busted up trunk full of clothes labeled "Rich". He's grown up on this island with nobody but his animal friends to keep him company, so to keep himself entertained he developed the habit of doing impression and little bits with his animal friends. One day though, a boat docks on the island with a prince named Eddie on board and Richie's whole world gets flipped upside down. Prince Eddie is always going on adventures and running away from his responsibilities because of his crazy ass mother, so he's made it his life mission to travel the world with his royal assistant Mike and study all kinds of natural dangers to keep his kingdom healthier and safer.

Upon meeting Richie Eddie is taken aback by his weird animal friends and their weird human names like Bill and Benjamin, but he tells Richie if he wants to find out where he came from he can always come back home with them. He agrees, but once Richie gets to the palace things go pretty hay wire. Queen Sonia is very dispealed to see this weird uncivilized wild man in her palace, he's flilthy, hqs scraggly trangled hair, no shoes, and the only piece of clothing he has on is a ripped up towl tied around his waist. She seems resistant to let him stay, but even Sonia Kaspbrak is capable of pity sometimes, so she gives him a week to stay and try and find his family. While he's there Eddie also points out to his mom that Richie doesn't seem to be able to see very well and they get him an optometrist and some swanky new glasses.

Not everythings all sunshine and rainbows in this kingdom though, because Sonia is currently trying to match Eddie up with another prince naned Connor, even though neither of them seem interested in each other too much. They just have too many differences, they don't click, Connor would much rather stay home and play games all day and accept his uncle and cousins, errr "flaws", while Eddie is desperate to break out of the chains that bind him. Besides, Connor can kind of tell Eddie likes Richie, but he's not jealous at all. He's actually (besides Eddie) the only person at the palace who is always nice to him and actively tries to help him when he's struggling with fitting in. He's not a bad kid at all, but he does long for some one to really love him, especially since his cousin and uncle are INSISTENT love is for peasants.

Richie tries so very hard to acclimate and be part of higher society, he slicks his hair back, he wears a random ugly suit sonia gives him, he tries to drink tea all proper like, but Butch and Henry humiliate him so Sonia still doesn't accept him. Butch and Henry are really just out here trying to play the long game, using Connor as a way to marry into royalty so they can get close to the royal family and kill 'em all as revenge for something unfortunate that happened in their past.

But don't worry! They get defeated, so Eddie's okay! and Richie even gets to reconnect with his mother Maggie in a really emotional reunion. Hooray!

The Big Question on Blitzo

Yeah, I forgot to put this in my last post so I'll put it here. You see, everyone goes on and on and on about how Blitzo needs the grimoire to do his business and just the grimoire and Stolas holds it over his head. Now, what Stolas does is despicable but there's something else that I hardly hear anyone else mention. The most buzz about the matter to any capacity that we got was soon after Unhappy Campers aired.

I made an anonymous ask before about why Blitzo doesn't try escaping from Stolas and yeah, getting an explanation from another commenter, it made me embarrassed that I even asked. Like I asked something so incredibly obvious and I legit needed someone to spell it out. But there's still the other thing I was wondering that, as far as I know, hasn't been answered.

Why the fuck were the Asmodean crystals not a thing at the start?

I mean, yeah, Viv isn't good at writing, but that's the out-of-universe reason. In universe, though... we got nothing.

Seriously, there's so many instances where Viv and the other writers don't put in even some throwaway lines as an explanation for shit. Maybe they'll explain this but that's a very strong maybe. Because at this point, my expectations are so lowered that I know that I have to stop hoping for things that I want to see. Like how I hoped the Ozzie and Fizz mid season special would show us how those two met and got closer, only to get Daddy Issues number 5 or something.

But anyways, Unhappy Campers showed that the crystals are better than the grimoire in every single way. More portable, more abundant, doesn't require reading the spells or anything, just need a touch of the button or something, imps are apparently allowed to have them if Barbie is any indication, they even readily provide human disguises. Really, it's the whole shebang.

So really, in universe, what reason is there for Blitzo to not have a crystal from the start? Why did Blitzo think it was more worth it or at least less trouble to go out of his way to break into a demonic prince's home and steal something that said prince WILL eventually notice is missing, if only because of the Harvest Moon Festival? What reason is there for Moxxie or Millie or even Loona to not have any crystals themselves?

Maybe Blitzo lost all legal permission to use crystals and is blacklisted or something. Maybe there's a very specific and exact process to make it okay to own and use a crystal and Blitzo doesn't have the patience and/or time, not if he wants to survive NOW. Maybe there's something in the crystals that let higher-ups know that they're being used illegally so Blitzo and the others can't just mug a succubus or incubus or their crystals. Maybe Loona is too young and then too lazy to bother, especially since she's not let out into the field by her dad. Maybe Moxxie just cared about getting away from his father and took the chance to leave, having no time to really get anything from his home to make surviving and getting by easier, including any Asmodean crystals. Maybe Millie is influenced by her parents who have pride in thinking more with fists than with actual brains so it never occurred to her to get any crystals.

Then again, it's not good writing if I have to guess or speculate all the reasons why Blitzo and anyone else in I.M.P. don't have a better version of the grimoire. And this is a super fucking important question, why don't they have any crystals right from the get go?

Apparently, Viv and the other writers want to make it that Blitzo has a messy, complex affair with Stolas because the owl has something that the former is interested in and needs to secure having it. If that's what they want to do, then obviously, they can do that. Except if they're going to include something that ultimately makes the grimoire worthless in the grand scheme of things, then we NEED an explanation for why things are the way they are. And as far as I know, Viv and no one else on the writing team even said why on twitter or a youtube livestream so we don't have an answer both in the show and outside of it

Really, as long as Blitzo is still going to rob a demon prince and take something that the absence of WILL be noticed eventually, then it's only natural that he suffers for it in some shape or form. It's stupid for him to expect getting away with it, especially if he's going to, for whatever fucking reason, think that it's better to do that than to just take some damn crystals from some ordinary succubi and/or incubi. Considering how Blitzo doesn't deserve the sexual coercion and really could never have seen it coming, though, I guess I just wish the writers could have made him suffer different consequences for his poorly thought-out plan

Barbie was so good?!? Fucking loved every minute of it, but special shout-out to some things...

(BARBIE SPOILERS below the cut)

This movie was so funny, I can't get over how fucking funny and camp it was, an actual masterpiece 11/10

"This movie is overly feminist and man-hating" - THIS MOVIE AIN'T FOR YOU, SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO WATCH THE SHITTY FLASH MOVIE THEN IF YOU'RE SO MAD

(haven't actually seen the flash, have seen a few clips on twitter and i'm glad i haven't, i don't want to, don't @ me)

I'll be honest, I had very few Barbie dolls growing up, I had a medium sized doll house that was not for Barbie-height-toys, and so most of my toys were random figurines collected over the years (shout-out to the McDonald's Happy Meal Narnia toys!), but I was still getting pumped at the beginning of this film when the narrator went into detail about how Barbie can have any career, any life she wants etc.

The attention to detail in Barbie-land, like the pools/sea are all flat and not actually wet, there’s no actual liquid in the cups when they drink, no water in the shower etc.

Look, I will fully admit that HOTD has fucked my brain and my taste in men up, and so I'm blaming that for me looking at Ryan Gosling as Ken and going "yes I would like to obliterate that twink" 🙈

There were a lot of kids in my screening who absolutely did NOT get the "beach you off" joke, meanwhile I was sitting there laughing embarrassingly loudly like an idiot

Why was Allan a whole ass mood, I'm sorry but he was so relatable, arguably the best character I fear-

I like that weird-Barbie is basically what a lot of girls go through with their Barbies at a certain age by cutting off their hair, drawing on them with pens, etc. Like that’s a mood, my sister and I used to wash our Barbies’ hair and draw fake tattoos on them with felt tips 💀

“Do you ever think about dying? 😃” took me out oh my fucking god 💀 I already had one existential crisis this weekend watching Oppenheimer, I don’t need another one from Barbie of all things 😭

The way Ken says “because we’re boyfriend girlfriend” has the most random place in my heart and I don’t know why lol

The sheer horror over Barbie having flat feet LMFAO

Weird-Barbie having the dog where you feed it pellets and then use the tail so it shits the pellets back out?!? Me and my sister were like "oh my fucking god" because we literally had that fucking toy lmfao

Weird-Barbie talking about Ken's smooth plastic bulge, I literally CHOKED-

Honestly just... Barbie entering the real world and being confused that men treat her like a sex object, being super uncomfortable, meanwhile Ken's like "they're looking at me appreciatively!"... oof

I nearly choked on my drink when Barbie loudly declared "I don't have a vagina and he doesn't have a penis!" like?!?!?

Barbie and Ken getting arrested not only once but TWICE... oh that's the content I'm living for lmao

I’m so so SO glad that the scene with Barbie and the elderly lady was kept in, I shed a tear because it was so beautiful and simple. When Barbie said that the lady was beautiful?!?! I’m a mess just thinking about it 😭❤️

Pleasantly surprised by the sheer amount of horsey content in this film like yes, that's 100% what the patriarchy should be, it should be about Kens riding horsies :D (I’m aware this is NOT the only thing that happened lmao I’m just saying that the world would be a better place with more horses)

America Ferrera is a fucking QUEEN and I adore her, I know HTTYD is over but she will always be MY Astrid, aka Chieftess Queen and Dragon-Rider

Not gonna lie, I felt Sasha’s little monologue where she rants about the unrealistic standards set by Barbie like I see both sides of what Barbie represents and how she can be viewed and I get it. Like on the one hand, hooray for girls growing up having a doll that can show them they can be Presidents, Nobel Piece winners, doctors etc., hooray for all the feminism to come from Barbie. But also you could argue that there’s unreal expectations in regards to Barbie’s body shape, and that when we girls grow up into women, we realise that the Real World is not as simple as what we dreamt of while playing with Barbies, that our world doesn’t revolve around having women in positions of power, that we still very much live in a society where women are viewed as being there solely for men, as home makers and wives and mothers, that we can have a certain amount of freedom and power but not too much etc.

Did I kind of guess "hey maybe it's not the daughter who has triggered Barbie's crisis, maybe it's the mother"? Yes, I guessed that early on but I still loved it anyway

I have no idea how Greta Gerwig got Mattel to agree to this script but holy shit, she must be magical or something

The spirit of Ruth Handler, aka THE creator of Barbie who named the doll after her daughter?!? Played by Rhea Perlman?!?!

Also I've only just learnt, after looking at Ruth Handler's wikipedia page, that Ken was named after her son?!?! Barbie and Ken are siblings?!?!

JOHN CENA AS MERMAN KEN?!?!

My sister was so delighted by the amount of Sylvester Stallone references in this film omg

DEPRESSION-BARBIE I WAS IN LITERAL FUCKING TEARS I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING, AND SHE WAS WATCHING BBC'S PRIDE AND PREJUDICE?!? WHILE EATING SWEETS?!? I CANT STOP CACKLING AND CRYING

Depression-Barbie also comes in other variations, including an anxiety one?!?! 🤣

I shit you not, I NEED America Ferrera to be nominated for supporting actress for all the awards because holy fUCK, her monologue?!?! That monologue?!?!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ROB BRYDON AKA UNCLE BRYNN FROM GAVIN AND STACEY IS SUGAR DADDY KEN?!?!

“We mothers stand still so our daughters can look back and see how far they have come.” - STOP I WAS ALREADY SOBBING

The Helen Mirren fourth wall break where she says that if the filmmakers wanted us to believe that Barbie was no longer pretty, "they shouldn't have cast Margot Robbie in this part", literally ICONIC

KEN’S FLUFFY TIE DYE HOODIE THING THAT SAYS “I AM KENOUGH” ASDFGHJKL I WANT ONE

Ridiculously glad that Ken and Barbie didn’t get together to be honest, yes I get it that Ken is designed as a boyfriend for Barbie but also it would have sucked to have this whole film play out as it did and then have them end up together 💀

The soundtrack of this film was IMMACULATE, 10/10, five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There’s a definite message and commentary here but I’m too stupid and tired to write it out, so I’ll reblog it from the people who are smarter and more eloquent than me instead but oh my good this film was such an amazing piece of cinema

This isn't everything about the film obviously, there was a lot going on and I'm still mentally processing it so I might add more to the post later but wow, just… wow.

Oscar Snubs

My take on this whole Barbie thing: 1. Barbie was a fun movie, but it wasn't so good that I feel like it deserved any nominations really. 2. If you ARE going to nominate Barbie for anything, it IS ridiculous to nominate Ken twice (Ryan Gosling and I'm Just Ken) and give nothing to Barbie herself or the woman who directed it. Though this is really an argument for Ryan Gosling not getting a nomination, rather than Margot or Greta getting one as well. 3. As producer and director respectively, Margot and Greta DO have nominations since Barbie has been nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. 4. The fact that this blew up to the point that it did is peak white feminism. This doesn't need to be on the news. The entire Best Lead Actress category is white except for Lily Gladstone (first indigenous person to win a Golden Globe, first indigenous woman from the US to be nominated for an Oscar). White women are not lacking representation in the Oscars. 5. The focus on Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig takes focus away from America Ferrera and her first ever Oscar nomination. Why aren't Barbie fans celebrating her? 6. The Color Purple was a fucking phenomenal movie with amazing performances across the board. This was the first time Black people actually got to direct it and it's just such a gorgeous film. Danielle Brooks was wonderful and stole the spotlight. She ABSOLUTELY deserves her nomination and I'm rooting for her to win. But it is a CRIME that she was the only one to get a nod. Fantasia and Taraji both deserved nominations, and the directors Blitz Bazawule and Marcus Gardley deserved nominations, too. 7. Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig have three nominations each. They'll stay booked, they'll stay busy, they'll stay making more money than their Black and brown peers. And I have no doubt they'll secure their wins eventually. It doesn't have to be for Barbie. How often do you see Black people in the Best Director category? Of the ten slots there are for best actress (lead and supporting) how many do they give to white women vs women of color? How many go on to actually winning an Oscar? When people of color DO win an award, how often do you hear them making history as the first to win in 50 years? Or the first to win period? Margot and Greta will be fine. I never see this energy for non-white people who get snubbed. 8. Watch The Color Purple

[corneliushickey]

so I am going through your HOTD tag because you have the best Hot Takes Tm and I am Rhaenyra/Alicent trash and this is fucking transcendent: "alicent holds duty above all out of a resigned sense of obligation. for her, seeing rhaenyra free herself from a duty she has always seen as obligate to the both of them is an unforgivable betrayal. she has given up the whole of her life to her obligations and to see rhaenyra refuse to do so is a knife in her back. she has always thought that rhaenyra would come to accept her duty but now she feels that she is alone in it. and she is furious." Like.

Also. Rhaenyra is probably the only person who's wanted things for Alicent that she believes Alicent would also love and enjoy that's not related to duty or being a woman.

"I want to fly with you on dragon back see the great wonders across the Narrow Sea And eat only cake." Like, how pure is that. That's what Young Rhaenyra's ideal future is. Being with Alicent, adventure, and indulgence. Meanwhile Alicent has a more realistic idea of what their future will be and perhaps its only bearable because they'll be suffering together. Alicent's perhaps ideal future is them with Good Husbands, having babies, and their primary emotional bond still being each other. A future in which Alicent gets everything she "wants" and sacrifices nothing, especially not the idea of her own moral purity. And then Rhaenyra goes off and forms other emotional bonds and doesn't do her duty and it's like, double betrayal. One of their great tragedies in my reading of this is that they cannot conceive of a future without each other but have such radically different ideas of what their future looks like.

hey! thank you for enjoying my posts :)

i interpreted that specific exchange very differently, though. i think baby rhaenyra was deflecting and being facetious. i think she's far too old at that point to be naive enough to have this as an actual fantasy (in episode 1 the girls are 14, so they are children but they are not playing pretend with barbies dolls and believing in santa claus children)

i think alicent was trying to ask her a serious and difficult question and rhaenyra didn't want to get into it. alicent has been stuffy and formal since birth and rhaenyra doesn't want to put serious thought into what she's asking her. the full exchange is:

Alicent: You're worried your father is about to overshadow you with a son.

Rhaenyra: I only worry for my mother. I hope for my father that he gets a son. As long as I can recall, it's all he's wanted.

Alicent: You want him to have a son?

Rhaenyra: I want to fly with you on dragonback, see the great wonders across the Narrow Sea, and eat only cake.

Alicent: I'm being serious.

Rhaenyra: I never jest about cake.

Alicent: You aren't worried about your position?

Rhaenyra: I like this position. It's quite comfortable.

i also disagree that rhaenyra wants good things for alicent. i think rhaenyra wants good things for herself and she wants alicent to be there. i think rhaenyra wants alicent to want the same things she does. and it disappoints her that alicent doesn't.

the very first scene we see with them, she coyly suggests that alicent come dragon riding with her, and alicent stamps her pretty foot and refuses. dragon riding is unbecoming of a young lady. plus it's scary. syrax listens to you i don't want to put myself in danger on her back, i'm not a dragonrider.

and rhaenyra is disappointed because her cute cheerleader crush doesn't want to come on her motorcycle with her and weave through traffic. because that would be fun! don't you want to have fun? i want us to do this fun thing together. uncle daemon would love to get on a motorcycle and weave through traffic together. he gets me.

and in a way, alicent feels the same way about rhaenyra. she wants them both locked wrist and neck in the same stocks. but i think it's actually more complicated because alicent doesn't really want that. no one could possibly want the kind of life that alicent is living. she just can't conceive of another option. there is no other life. there are no choices besides this one. why can't rhaenyra see that?

i also disagree that rhaenyra cannot conceive of a future without alicent because she actually drops her quite easily when alicent turns on her? like i do think that it breaks rhaenyra's heart the way that alicent starts acting like her queen, and how she finds her tryst with daemon unacceptable, and how she doesn't indulge her anymore because now she's married to her father and she has the power to stop her. i think this is heart breaking to rhaenyra.

but i also think that she is the specialist bestest punk princess in all of westeros and i don't think she mourns it too deeply because she does, in fact, go on to do what she wants with who she wants and birth three obvious bastards with her clearly gay husband supporting her all the way

i do agree with you about alicent's conceived ideal future because it is extremely realistic repressed gay catholic energy to think "my best friend and i will be married and have husbands and we will have babies but our husbands need to be okay with us being special girl best friends who care more about one another than they do about them" and i say this from personal and anecdotal experience. like that is just something that closeted and/or repressed gay women think to themselves. so i think that's right on the money.

rhaenyra is very self actualized in her own sexuality though so i think when she thinks "i'm going to marry daemon and we can still do whatever we want with our boy/girl best friends" that's just like. a reasonable plan for the future for her.

anyway my point i think was that rhaenyra wants to be happy and carefree and she wants alicent to be there with her, and alicent wants them both to be hopelessly miserable but together

[azol-otl]

I want to see more Robin!Jason and Batgirl!Barbara content. But like in a very specific way. I want Babs to be the unintentionally bad influence sibling. The chaotic sibling. Dick already isn't there (he is busy with the Titans who are falling apart every other day, his absence is understandable), so let Only Child Babs connect with Jason who's *at least* 10 years younger.

I want her to be the one who curses around the baby and then curses when she realizes what she just did. Like, "You see this shit Robin." "Fuck. I mean-shit fuck, damnit-"

She's the older sister who keeps Jason from drinking coffee by stealing it from his hands and downing the mug like a shot then smarmily being like, "Too much coffee is bad for you little bird," even though that's her fifth cup that morning.

I want them to have their own nicknames for one another (I actually *like* the fanon tendency of having Jason calling Barbara 'Barbie').

edit: Turns out this isn’t fanon and just straight up canon from Batman Eternal and she called him Little Bird in Gotham Knights. Thank you anon who sent that.

I want Jason fake-flirting with Barbara where both of them know he's just fucking around. (And because his ability the flirt is inversely related to how much he actually has a crush on someone, it should mean that he's actually really good at it. Mostly so Barbara can make fun of Bruce and Dick that scrawny runt Jason Todd is a better flirt.)

She's the one who tells Jason all of the embarrassing stories about Dick.

Jason (12): "Why doesn't this costume have pants?"

Barbara (23): Because Dick's an exhibitionist.

Or

Jason: "I can't believe Dick never got mask acne that's not fair."

Barbara: *wheezing because she remembers the days Dick refused to leave his room because of acne*

She and Jason are patrolling and they do the fast-ball special because Barbara's like, "I was able to do this with Dick at this age still." But forgot to account for two things.

She's much stronger than she was at 16.

Jason is much lighter than Dick was at the same age.

So Barbara just accidentally yeets Jason off the rooftop.

I don't know if Barbara was already running for Senator but Barbara using her adorable baby brother to help get votes.

Senator Batgirl and Robin's adventure in figuring how who's trying to kill Barbara. Bruce is fucking around thinking it's the mob. It's actually just wealthy business owners getting rich off of exploitative practices Barbara is trying to shut down. All of them are legitimate business owners and at least a third of the Wayne Enterprises Board is involved. Barbara still ends up never getting re-elected because she was too leftist and most of the people who tried to kill her got off with a fine. (Am I trying to make a point that Bruce has massive blind spots and the people who are doing to most damages are the ones he grew up with along with the system that has afforded him the power to be Batman. Yes.)

I know Barbara was a mentor to both batgirls and Misfit etc. But I want to see her stumble first (but in a funny way). And Jason's Robin run was so isolated that even if Babs was retiring there's no way only Bruce and Jason could deal with a whole city and she would have been out more often than just the once. Plus these two should interact more.

[azraeldoesnotdispute]

y'all asked for it

okay, my bestie went back home, so I have some free time to write a fucking essay about this movie *cracks knuckles*

the barbie movie is not without it's issues, but overall, the movie perfectly points out imbalance, a mirrored world to our own. we have the patriarchy here in the real world and anyone with half a brain can see how unequal it is, for both woman and men. in barbieland, it's a bit more subtle, but it's definitely there and you really only need to lightly scratch the surface to see that.

I've had some people in the notes of my other post talking about how the matriarchy of barbieland isn't near as bad as the patriarchy that ken brought about, but it is bad, just differently than what you'd think. no, barbie's aren't gross and rapey towards ken's but they ignore them and use them just as props whenever they feel like it before ignoring them. can you tell me where the ken's live? because barbie couldn't tell me, hell even Ryan doesn't know. direct quote from an interview:

"We're still not sure what happens to the Kens when the Barbies go home. We think they huddle on the beach for warmth."

this is supported by the fact that when ken brings the patriarchy to barbieland, they don't "dudebro" up their own houses, they do it to the barbies houses. while we're on the topic of them being gross and rapey, some people are acting like that's the most unforgivable thing, but are ignoring the fact that they're only acting like that because they weren't taught any better. they learned about patriarchy from books that said that women have to be subservient, and their whole existence thus far has been them doing whatever the barbies wanted/striving to get the barbies attention, and then discarded when the barbies were done with them.

if you were treated like that, wouldn't you think, hm maybe it's our time to shine? except they did it in the worst possible way. so when I say the matriarchy is just as bad as the patriarchy, THAT'S what I mean. the kens were made to feel like less, just the way women are made to feel like less in the real world.

patriarchy teaches men that they should force themselves/their will onto women and men seen as "lesser" (see: Allen and the rejected Kens). matriarchy is more subtle, in that they used the kens as props and ignored the "lesser" men (see: Allen, and how no one ever really talked to him, not the barbies, and not the kens, who were likely just following the barbies lead.)

following up on the second part of my post: ken was never given any kind of identity outside of being barbie's boyfriend, which is both another stab at "matriarchy bad" and a reflection of how women in the real world are basically taught to put men (and children if they have them) first before themselves, which is so damaging. ken was literally created to just be barbie's boyfriend, she had no say in this, and she doesn't seem to be interested in him in the slightest, other than distant friendship, probably because he's basically an over eager puppy and she feels weird about it. BUT she also doesn't really like him when he's pretending to be all tough and badass either, she is disgusted.

the best part of the movie was that barbie told ken that he needed to find out who he was instead of constantly living her shadow, which I think is a lesson everyone should internalize. you can't know who you are if you're constantly trying to live for a single person, you have to know who you are before you can love yourself or anyone else.

also the story arc of sasha and gloria, such a wonderful one that deserves its own essay but I don't have the time to do so, just wanted to add that it was also a great way to show how both generations feel about this kind of them. us old folks want our childhood back, when it was simply playing with barbies and making up stories, while gen z is sorta jaded and sees everything in black and white instead of the grey areas between

[lisascumslut78]

would you tell me about your wips 👀 if i looked at you like this 👀 until you told me 👀

OKAY!! finally had time and energy to do this i'm sorry 😭

okay so. most of these are like. darna/darlentina/reginarda and a few odd ones (surprisingly, almost all this is filipino. huh.) but anyway.

let's get the darna/darlentina/reginarda wips out first!!

5+1 things darlentina or five times narda saves regina and one time she doesn't.

this is my baby. the very first fic i've written for this fandom and it's very very special to me lsdkjfsld. i add to it little little by little every once in a while but i dont think it's nowhere near finished (sorry!!) it's basically a rewrite of the whole show so, you know, it's going to be a big one lmfaooo. i'm going to take what i want from canon and throw the rest in the trash. still deciding if i want it chapter by chapter or just one big oneshot thing. hm.

fake dating au

yeah fake dating. although not in the way you'd expect. regina thinks narda and darna are dating. so to keep regina off her back and from finding out she's both, narda thought it'd be a great idea to throw off regina by letting her think she's dating the superhero. this was funnier in my head. this one's a very recent wip, had the thought while in the middle of class one day lmfao

woman of her dreams (yeah no im not good with this)

okay so. basically regina keeps dreaming about this girl since like. she was a child. up until adulthood she keeps dreaming about her. she never has a name, only vague flashes of her facial features, her hands, her smile etc. semi-canon. narda is still half alien, but they dont meet the same. until they do meet and regina's so shocked she falls off the balcony.

gala smut

basically what the title says lkdjflfdfg. i remember working on this when the first few weeks the show was airing and like i was running on pure emotion that time. what a time indeed. well anyway. they fuck in a bathroom. so yea.

a scene rewrite

there was just this really really annoying scene in the show that i just. had to fix ya know? like. girl. she would not say that. so yeah.

friends with benefits au

was once again driven by pure emotion with this. bc like. that would be so so good. it'd be so angsty and like. i haven't really read anything like it in the fandom before so!!

regina almost dies

yeah so if you haven't seen the show regina dies (but only briefly) and like. i wanted to fix that because of how stupid they set it up like. GIRL. she was too far from that tree to pierce her oh my god???

ALRIGHT. i think i'm done with the reginarda wips. on to some other ones i have :D

i'm just going to list some of them off since i don't really remember where i wanted them to go lmfao.

chapter two of my lilanette fwb

lilanette childhood friends au

lilanette secretly friends au

a barbie oneshot

needifer x mean girls au

okay. with this one, my sister and i suddenly had a brain fart thinking what if jennifer survived and needy moved to chicago or something and attended northshore. fucking insane i know. it was supposed to be a collab thing but my sister didn't really want to anymore so i'm mostly the one working on it.

rookie exes au

okay so. rookie is a filipino movie about the new kid who doesn't play volleyball (she only plays basketball), joins the volleyball team, and falls in love with the team captain. the captain dislikes her at first but, you know, her swagless looks and cringe fail autistic personality eventually captivates her. you know, basic shit.

it's a very... feel good movie i would say. it didn't really resonate with me as much as i was hoping it would but, it's a good watch, i think.

i wanted to imagine them not too far into the future but they're not together. (though, the movie leaves us with an ambiguous ending regarding their relationship, first off) i just love exes aus. ough. oh yeah it's sapphic.

this is entirely too long omfg. i doubt it'll be an interest to anyone but maybe a couple of people but!!! yeah i kind of wanted to share this too. kinda.
