guys do you think delancy grew up with tales of gardania's magical crown when she was little do you think she once tried it on and it never lit up on her head do you think she never tried it on again do you think she was scared to have her mother find out she wasn't good enough to rule do you think she felt so inadequate in the eyes of her mother knowing she was sitting on a stolen throne do you think—

Princess Sofia Reminiscing 💖

I’d imagine that after the end of the movie Blair really has moments where she just Not having a fun time princessing and kind of misses being normal.

wolfstar au but it’s actually more like barbie princess charm school, with Remus going to the boy’s school, his roommates are the marauders, and of course dancing with Sirius…the heir that may or may not be the actual heir��(except obviously him and Remus aren’t related because they both become kings at the end)

I actually need someone to write this omg😭

When barbie a mermaid tale and fashion fairytale was released my younger self was SO mad that they started doing movies based on our time period. I wanted ancient Barbie. I still want tbh.

That being said, princess charm school is one of the best Barbie movies.

Barbie: Princess Fall School (2011) feat. individuals affected by Blair Willows

[littlehenrikehd]

The more I think about it the more I realize that Princess Charm School is one of my all-time favorite Barbie movies.

Like, yes, it has its issues and the whole idea of a school specifically for royalty is kinda stupid and there are seemingly only two people within the faculty, but it fucks. It fucks hard.

Principal Privet and Dame Devin act civil with each other but it's so obvious they've got beef and are trying their damn hardest not to swing at each other first chance they get. Portia is high out of her goddamned mind the entire time and no one seems to notice or care. Willing to bet my life that she sells stuff to the other students. Delancy Devin. Just, Delancy Devin, whom I love very much. The fact that Blair's bio parents were straight-up murdered and the murderer confessed on live tv. The themes and messages of gentrification and class differences. Not to forget about the 18-year-old dog who's just, running around and having a good time.

Truly one of the movies of all time.

In honor of the Barbie movie releasing a few days ago, I drew my favorite old barbie movie icon: Blair Willows!

The old barbie movies were a huge part of my childhood, so I felt it was necessary ^_^

I'm drunk, it's barbie time.

ft. Delancy Devin's place in the line of succession to the Gardanian Throne

sigh i can't believe my first ever post of 2024 is a dissertation on the line of succession of a fictional barbie kingdom...

I am currently kinda drunk and I've thought of this for a long while now because I've been scrolling through PCS tiktok and everyone keeps insisting that Delancy Devin is Blair's cousin through Reginald

Anyways Delancy is related to Blair/Sophia through Isabella and I can PROVE IT give me like five minutes to sober up

1.) How would you even explain their resemblance?

Like look at them: they have a pretty clear resemblance to each other, which is why it's pretty fucking crazy because Blair looks exactly like Isabella¹︎. And while Delancy may have her resemblance to her mother, ironically, Devin is not related to the royal family by blood.

Which could only lead to one explanation: Delancy's father is Isabella's brother. (Isabella's side has strong ass fucking genes, I'm pretty sure that brother looked almost identical to her too)

I mean look at poor old reggie, his daughter bears absolutely no fucking resemblance to him at all. If Delancy's dad had been his brother instead, then why is there a very clear resemblance between Delancy and Sophia-Blair? (Like their overall profiles are so goddamn similar, I'm actually gagged that nobody had clocked it before, or even at least pointed it out.)

(Look me in the eye and tell me there was not a single incident where Hadley had tried to scare the shit out of Delancy in the semi-darkened shower rooms at like 8 pm only to find that it was actually Blair, or even Portia tripping out of her mind at 3 am in some dark hallway thinking she was talking to Delancy in the dark when it was actually Blair taking her back to her dorm)

All jokes aside, let's get into the serious shit:

2.) If Reginald was "King"²︎, then why the fuck was Isabella coronated as the true heir of Gardania during graduation?

This actually means she went to Charm School AS the princess representing Gardania, because how the fuck else could she be coronated AS PRINCESS of Gardania if she wasn't?

If some Blair Coronation Shit happened to Isabella too when she was crowned, that would be BIG TALK amongst the courts, the nobles, and ALL THE PRINCESSES PRESENT DURING THE CORONATION.

Keep in mind that Princess Charm School's Graduation Ceremony is a MAJOR diplomatic event that literally has all those countries' leaders in ONE ROOM. Given that Blair's two other besties are princesses whose fathers or mothers might have been possibly present during the graduation ceremony/coronation of Gardania, wouldn't they have at least fucking mentioned it to her? I mean they literally gave her the entire tea on the car crash why the hell wouldn't they tell her if they knew anything juicier? Such as a PCS student being coincidentally the true heir of Gardania when the magic tiara somehow hit her head and lit up³︎?

(I'm aware that it's possibly a Princess Diana allegory given the Spencers' lineage but STILL, kinda fucking embarrassing being next in line to the throne and finding out your fiancée is actually the true heir of your kingdom??? I would actually never show my face before society ever again tbh.)

According to Dame Devin's accidental tell-all slip⁴︎, it is implied that Isabella was in fact, Queen Regnant, and not Reginald. (Because, why would you specifically admit to eliminating Isabella and NOT Reginald? Let's be honest, bro was just a bonus kill.)

This means that Reginald is simply a consort, and we can assume, that Gardania's succession line is matriarchal, and that Queen is actually a higher position than King, which is the reason why Isabella probably got the throne first and not her possible brother, who is most definitely Delancy's father.

i mean, let these charts just speak for themselves:

(yes I made these)

If Isabella is queen, and Delancy is related to Blair via Reginald, then there would have been no way for her to inherit the throne, since she'll only be royal by marriage.

This renders Dame Devin's (admittedly successful) coup absolutely fucking useless, unless of course she killed several other clans with a claim to the throne until she got to Reginald's family, (assuming he was a part of Gardanian nobility) which is highly unlikely considering she would've been caught earlier ??? Cos girl that's literally regicide and treason.

But if Delancy is related to Blair via Isabella herself, then she would have a legitimate claim to the throne, and she has the chance to ascend if Isabella and all her heirs somehow die in a freak accident (which, oh no, is exactly what fucking happened).

so no I will NOT be hearing anyone else out.

Dame Devin's baby daddy mystery solved. *mic drop*

BARBIE PITCH MEETING

Interior, Mattel board room

Mattel executives: we need a Barbie movie, something modern girls will relate to. Like going to school. But with princesses. Yes, that's it, make us a Barbie movie about a princess school!

Mattel screenwriters: Ok but can we slip in some lessons about gentrification, social struggles between the upper and lower classes, and the hazards of a capitalistic medical–industrial complex?

Mattel executives: ... will there be a magical outfit transformation?

Mattel screenwriters: ...yes?
