Listen... those 3 times.

The first time when Barbie stops and listens to people in that garden, and just tells that older woman "you are so beautiful" and she just answers "I know".

That time where she's trying to escape Mattel quarters and she finds Ruth's nook and it's just cozy. Grandma cozy. And she's just taking it in.

And then... just choosing to live, because she saw how happy people can be... AND BILLIE EILISH, YOU WIN.

I wanna know, can you show me? I wanna know about these strangers like me Tell me more, can you show me Something's familiar about these strangers like me

It's not even a joke... I just prefer the 2005 Pride and Prejudice.

Everything else is the same.

Go away, it’s not for you, it’s for me and my inner child and that’s enough of an audience.

when i see people complaining that the barbie movie is being over promoted and over hyped

"It's a trick," said Van Eck. "It's another one of Brekker's tricks." He broke away from his guards and rushed at Wylan, but Jesper stepped in front of him, grabbing him by the shoulders and holding him at bay with straight arms. "You'll destroy everything I've built, everything my father and his father built. You-“

Jesper leaned in and said, quietly enough that no one else could hear, "I can read to him."

"He has a very soothing baritone," added Wylan, and then the guards were hauling his father down the aisle.

"I am grateful you're alive," he said. “I am grateful you're beside me. I am grateful that you're eating." She rested her head on his shoulder. "You're better than waffles, Matthias Helvar."

A small smile curled the Fjerdan's lips. "Let's not say things we don't mean, my love."

How did the people who filmed this, watched this happening and did not think that Archie running up to see if Patrick is ok is so damn funny?

Can you imagine if they redid it and Mal runs to Nikolai and asks him if he’s ok? I would’ve been laughing so hard. 😂

Reading Crooked kingdom and…

“I’d like to make a down payment.” Should be our fandom code over on ao3 for when things get spicy.

Pearl (2022) dir. Ti West

[caveatscriptor]

Well... I don't talk about it, because it makes me sad.

It reminds me about the scene in crooked kingdom, where Van Eck has Inej as a hostage and he wants her to spill what she knows and threatens to smash her legs. She yells "Don't do it, I won't be of use to him anymore" Him, being, Kaz Brekker, obviously. If she's not of use, then she's nothing to him. Yeah... (there's a response from Kaz later in relation to this, but this scene, hits me in my gut, ok? She believes it fully... and I can't, ok? Ok.)

ok but I don’t see enough ppl talking about how inej was able to pull herself out of the toxin induced hallucinations bc she knew this wasn’t real. it couldn’t be real. her and kaz could never be that. like why don’t you rip my heart out and step on it actually

They'd been two farm boys, missing their father, lost in this city.

That was how Pekka got them. It wasn't just the enticement of money.

He'd given them a new home. A fake wife who made them hutspot, a fake daughter for Kaz to play with. Pekka Rollins had lured them with a warm fire and the promise of the life they'd lost.

And that was what destroyed you in the end: the longing for something you could never have.
