For the plot bunny ask game: Darren Criss + Barbie (2023) please??

@dancingsunflowers-ocs ✨💛✨

Oh, now this one’s fun (😂). Thanks so much for it, Alexandra!! (And I suppose I’ll tag @come-along-pond and @auxiliarydetective since they also have Barbie OCs. <3)

NAME: Ken.

LOVE INTEREST: Allan.

SUMMARY: In a land full of Kens and Barbies, Allan is the one deviation from the crowd, the one resident of Barbieland who does not fit into either group of people - and that is the exact reason why one particular Ken loves him so much. After living his entire existence - and he’s not even sure how long that’s actually been - in one place, doing the same thing day after day after day, he has slowly begun to spend all his time with the awkward redhead, wanting a break from the endless repetition of hanging out with the other Kens, and over time, that has turned to genuine, heart-fluttering love. The only problem is that Allan doesn’t seem to realize that Ken loves him - but when the head Barbie and Ken leave Barbieland for The Real World and Ken comes back and turns Barbieland into something unrecognizable, circumstances might arise for feelings to finally be confessed.

OTHER INFO:

Boyfriend for Allan, yay!!

He’s not exactly one of the older Kens in terms of when he was made, but his whole aesthetic and appearance is based on the fifties, so he uses fifties and forties slang a lot and it’s really cute when he does.

Basically he kind of went through a smaller version of what Stereotypical Barbie does, going every day is the same and I don’t think I like it anymore, but his reaction, rather than leaving Barbieland, is to just start hanging out with Allan since he’s the only one who doesn’t fit into the Ken-and-Barbie mould. Allan doesn’t really know how to react to this at first, but the two of them become friends after a while, and eventually Ken falls in love with him.

The only one besides Allan and Weird Barbie to not join the other Kens in controlling the Barbies, because he’s just like “What the heck are you guys doing?”. Absolutely thrilled when Stereotypical Barbie comes back and helps to fix it, and also tries to escape Barbieland alongside Allan and fights alongside him when they’re almost stopped.

Finally gets to confess to Allan and kiss him after Barbieland goes mostly back to normal, and they’re such a cute couple! All of Barbieland absolutely ships them.

send me a fandom and a faceclaim/love interest and i’ll make an oc!!

Manuscript search game (call, cold, calm, and coat)

Snapping up an open tag from @winterandwords who, apparently, never gets tired of killing me ??? with her snippets ???? and honestly it’s kind of rude ????? 💙💙💙

call

Callie POV

This was what she’d been waiting for. A two-for-one deal if she’d ever seen one: both boys bursting at the seams with completely opposite, sizzling, gorgeous abilities. 

There was Bennett - the Perception one. The one who could read and control minds, except - deliciously - not hers. All charged up with power and too afraid to use it, that one. She was gonna have to break him of that pesky restraint. 

But then there was Peter, the Matter one. The boy who could move mountains. 

She didn’t have an urge to call that one by his surname. She wasn’t sure why. He was, quite distinctly and simply, just Peter. 

cold

Callie POV

Ken was busy taking off her big belt full of tools – she laid it on the cold ground and retrieved two identical wands. “Well, he thinks you’re playing with him when you freak out like that,” she said, and what did she even know about it? She wasn’t freaking out. “Just pet him, he’ll calm down if you do.” 

Callie resisted the urge to groan out loud, and reached tentatively for the dog’s head. 

It did seem to do the trick – the thing panted up at her with its mouth wide open, almost like it was smiling. 

“His breath smells like dog food,” she complained. 

“Go figure.” Ken reached out, holding one of the wands. “This one’s yours.” 

“I don’t need a stick to cast.” 

“Get over yourself, will you? My magic and yours have to physically intertwine for this to work so we can either direct it through these for maximum accuracy or spend the next two hours holding hands without gloves on. Your choice.” 

calm

Simon POV

“What was I supposed to do?” he hissed, and instantly regretted it. It wasn’t Dig who put them in this situation. “I’m sorry, Dig, but I’m not going to have people get killed here trying to forcibly remove them, and I can’t just tell them their presence is against Spirit’s will.” 

He swallowed the lump growing in his throat at the look on Dig’s face; grief. “I’m trying,” he said, calmly this time, putting another folder atop the pile of research gathered by both Flora and Marie. “That’s what we’re doing here, we’re making a case.” 

“And if it’s not enough?” Dig pressed. “Prayers and papers. What then?” 

He didn’t have an answer. He searched himself and waited for something that felt right to surface but a future like that was just a pit, cavernous, sucking, bottomless. 

coat

Callie POV

Thinking about the past was stupid, so as a general rule, Callie didn’t. 

Sometimes she’d catch herself at it and give herself an invisible slap across the brain. Quick, hard and corrective: just like she used to as a child, when she caught herself thinking something that’d displease God. 

Which, according to her father, was everything but God. 

But hey, we’re talking five, six here. Before she’d figured out the game was rigged against her and decided if she couldn’t win, she’d fail spectacularly. 

A useful skill, all the same - the ability to grab a thought by its coattails as it tried to whiz by and beat it down so thoroughly it’d reconsider ever showing its face in these parts. 

Tagging some people I’ve been missing since I haven’t been super active lately: @pertinax--loculos, @avrablake, @diphthongsfordays, @afoolandathief, @dontjudgemeimawriter, @starlit-hopes-and-dreams, @blind-the-winds, and please consider this an open tag as well if you’d like to play!!! Your new words are: over, start, somehow and somewhere :D

Another redraw of an old character.

The dinosaur with the bones visible was a watercolor painting I did when I was still in art school in 2013. I gave him a more proper form a few months ago, and some pants. His name is Ken. He’s the kind of kid that has an encyclopedic knowledge of beetles and doesn’t like to eat vegetables.

Sometimes it takes almost 10 years to name a character and that’s okay.

LEGENDS JIRACHI OC'S (PART 1)

Timeline year: 1863

this is semi written with the intention of it being a fic one day, semi written with it being a video game concept (hence why theres that protagonist/friend part)

I just wanna say: the way that Shannon Tindle posts and reposts posts about Ken, you can't tell me the designers and animators didn't know what they were doing when they made him

Snippet // Update

Callie POV

“I live a structured life,” Ken stated as her stupid dog took off ahead of them, leaving paw-shaped divots in the mud. “I guess that’s probably a foreign concept to you.”

“Actually, it’s not. I spent a few years in a super-structured singles resort you’d probably love called Downing Bay.”

A snort of laughter escaped Ken’s nose. Callie’d never heard her laugh before. That wasn’t strange. None of them were doing much laughing these days. 

That wasn’t fair.

“Here,” Ken said, indicating the space between two rocks carved with Roman numerals. “This is us.”

The dog made sure there was nothing in the way but Callie assumed Ken knew their location by the proximity of the surrounding magic. The protective dome glittered in front of them like a giant, curved circuitboard lit by colors puked from a unicorn, undulating softly like a bubble in flight.

The external threat of this arc involves the government foisting their prejudices onto magicians’ bodies - I know right, what kind of government would ever? - but the emotional heart of it is Callie learning she actually has feelings and opinions outside of what happens to her personally. And it’s really fun to play with; I really like the scenes of her realizing in various degrees, oh shit, I care about this. Why do I care about this? Is it even valid for me, An Idiot, to have thoughts about this?

I guess that’s a journey I went on ~15 years ago, and I’m pulling it up and magnifying it to an extreme degree and giving to Callie. <3
