allison chronic divorcee until renee confesses and they live happily ever after but this trope is not for the angst...its for the idea of putting the foxes in multiple weddings just andreil watching allison walk down the aisle and going "five months" "i say three" and renee being the only one who's super upset over these weddings but doesn't realize she has a chance (she's the only one who has a chance)

Appreciation post for 'girly girl' characters and/or shows that celebrate traditionally feminine things that girls and women are shamed for.
Characters on this list that love makeup, fashion, hair, etc. Characters that are still written as strong, intelligent, brave, etc. That told young girls that these interests are valid, they are not lesser interests. Being feminine and liking traditionally feminine things does not make them weak.
trying so hard not to purchase every single Ken object out there because I know this hyperfocus won't last long and I don't wanna have a whole Ryan Gosling shrine and then wake up tomorrow and feel absolutely nothing. but oh my god the willpower I have to not blow the rest of my bank account on merch.........
im early for my doctors appointment so im just chilling on the bench outside. its a busy street so im listening to my special playlist for vibing on a loop (its just 3 songs), staring at people passing by and judging whose gender i want to steal the most. i need to do this more often this is great
Olay hot take: Barbie was the non-binary representation I needed
Spoilers for Barbie:
Now obviously Barbie herself isn’t non-binary but I was watching the movie and I was trying to parse why I related so much to Barbie, I mean she’s Stereotypical Barbie, she’s a everything a woman wants to be.
And then it hit me at the end, Barbie is desperately trying to find out where she fits in. Does she fit into the women-run Barbieland with its high femininity or does she fit in to the human-world with is male run leadership and overbearing masculinity.
And she realizes at the end that she’s a bit of both. She’s both Barbie the doll and Barbara the human. And it felt so very relatable. She’s both human and doll, and her also neither. It’s obviously not an exact parallel but god it hit me
got an appointment with a gender therapist let's goooooo
on the less fun side, had a less than stellar Trans Moment with my mom, where she seemed confused about me being a boy, who grew up liking girly things, expressed that i was like a different person to her, and that she thought i had outside influence in figuring out i was trans
He absolutely despises the Brotherhood even though he’s in their ranks. He’s not a fan of the Institute either and would opt to wipe them out if it weren’t for some friends. As far as minor factions go- he hates the Cabot family but tolerates and works with them anyways due to companion influence. He strongly dislikes Covenant, grows to dislike Diamond City after he starts ghoulifying, and he has an odd relationship with the Children of Atom- he’s very cautious due to how extreme they are in the Commonwealth, but he’s somewhat interested in them at the same time.
33. What is their fight-or-flight response?
Typically fight, unless it’s something he knows for a fact he can’t handle, in which case he’s just gonna peace out real quick and let someone/something else deal with it.
34. What armor / clothing do they typically wear?
He has two standard outfit styles. He also pretty much always wears leather shooting gloves, a scarf if it’s cold, glasses or sunglasses, and he always has a backpack or bag of some variety.
BOS: Olive drab flight suit, bomber jacket if it’s cold, partial light BOS combat armor(typically legs + chest). He has power armor, but only uses it in hostile environments because he hates wearing it and he doesn’t really trust it much.
Railroad/non-faction: Some variety of casual outfit(flannel & jeans, undershirt & jeans, wasteland clothing in cold weather, etc). If it’s a heavier/cold weather outfit, he’ll also wear light painted metal armor.
49. What item(s) do they always have on their person?
Reed always has extra ammo, first aid supplies, some food & water, survival items like a lighter, rope, flashlight, utility knife, lockpicking tools, etc etc with him. He pretty much always has mentats and a pack of cigarettes on him since he’s pretty reliant on both. He’s also always going to have snacks and a ball or toy for his dog, and he tends to be a bit of a hoarder so there’s a good chance he has some little trinkets or useful scrap/junk stashed somewhere. There’s a solid 95% chance he has at least one subway token on him at any given time because he constantly picks them up even though they’re completely useless.
I was digging in a box of my old monster high stuff to try and find clothes i can put my custom doll in until i get around to making her some myself, and i found this:
One of the little diaries that comes with the dolls!
I brought it upstairs with the clothes i snatched and decided to read it, mainly out of guilt for never doing so when i was little.
I didnt expect to cry. i want to go and find all the ones i had and read them now. it feels silly to cry at something like this but i did! it honestly really reassured me about life and stuff. too much has been going on right now and what it said was just really good for me i guess.
I'm so glad these were given to kids. i wonder how many other people they brought comfort to. i wish i read them when i was younger, but i'm glad i read it now.
went to see the barbie movie, wearing just about as much pink as i, an all-black-wearing wanna-be-goth, am capable of. featuring glittery makeup, a self-made earring, high heels (a pain and a struggle to walk in, but god i felt sexy), and the fucking widest pants you have ever seen (i could fit both of my legs into just one pant leg, and i have thick thighs)
there was one of those barbie boxes at the theater so i got my dear friend @nuppu-nuppu to take photos of me (and i don't care what anyone says, taking a million photos is perfect because no matter how insecure you are about your looks, there's bound to be at least a few photos that look good, when there's so many to choose from)
as a bonus, here's a video i took to try and look at my makeup, and also to have fun while listening to my barbie vibes playlist
oh yea, and the movie itself! it was good, it was fun, but i was left a little underwhelmed. not because it was bad or anything, but it was exactly what i expected it to be, which left me just a tad disappointed bc i was hoping for it to surprise me somehow. but over all a fun movie :]
I saw Barbie last night, I dont think i have a long film review of it for yall but idk I'll put some thoughts under a readmore I guess?
-Right off the bat, I enjoyed it, it was fun. It was a fun pink poppy romp. Thats about what I expected of it, and thats pretty much what I got
-Its not particularly radical in its gender/feminism takes, its very basic, which, I saw a number of ppl mention that before I saw it so I wasnt expecting anything radical. It couldve done better. it was. fine. im shrug about it i guess.
-My mom enjoyed it and was apparently not expecting any sort of emotional depth or story at all so it caught her off guard. I heard her crying. she cries easy at movies. I'm glad my mom liked it. Maybe she'll absorb some of the very basic feminism it drops idk.
-I knew the Kens adopted patriarchy and introduced it to Barbieland but it felt lile that happened very fast, idk.
-The ending....I. is her going to a gynecologist supposed to be like. shes gotten a vagina by deciding to be human?? or is she trying to schedule a surgery or something? that felt pretty weird to me if im honest, i thought it was gonna be a job interview or smth... Especially with how everyone was like "Barbie is ace (heheeh i agree) cos she has no genitals! (sorry what. excuse me. wanna run that by me again?)" like okay that makes that headcanon reasoning even more dewply uncomfortable that it already was?
-I enjoyed weird Barbie. i wish theyd cast someone else cos iirc ka/te mckin/non was a transmisogynist? unless she apologized or said she changed her mind on the topic since like 2017?? but i havent seen anything? idk. just. annoying to keep platforming these ppl. i guess theres probably other actors involved that have shit views of trans ppl. whatever i guess.
-I did dress up a little. i feel like my outfit had Weird Barbie Vibes. maybe ill post a pic.
-I did enjoy it and it had a number of shots and or transitions i liked, i think the one with the disco ball to the moon or whatever was enjoyable.
-god we really are so weird about barbie
-it just feels factually incorrect that all dolls pre barbie were baby dolls? idk. im sure it was the most common kind. but idk. not to be weird about The History Of Dolls but like. the porcelain dolls from the Victorian era. idk if those count as baby dolls. iirc those were to help young girls practice prepping dead bodies of loved ones for funerals or smth??? but i guess porcelain dolls have a sort of babyish look about them. and are fragile so you cant play rough with them.
-Like i Know its a 2hr long toy commercial for mattel but also god that cant be right. even if they werent filling the same niche as barbie as idk basically a fashion doll? there had to be other dolls right?
-I know the flat foot thing is Supposed to be over the top and silly for them all to get upset about but also tbh. as a bitch with falling arches the way some of yall make jokes about flat feet still is uh. well. rude. but also lmao man. the day my arches started hurting for no reason while i was barefoot did sorta feel emotionally like her feet falling to the ground lol.
-i want to introduce barbie to margot robbie's harley quinn owo. i think that would be Fun :3
-i want Ken's job. how do i do Beach as an occupation.
-I actually liked how they handled Ken and Barbie's rship til the end. i feel weird about that ending overall and also it feels weak wrt her dynamic as Ken. they make him grapple w her not reciprocating his feelings the same way but then she just leaves barbieland anyway?? and ig they dont get to explore a friendship or qpr dynamic. ok. its fine i guess.
-her saying she has no genitalia felt so transgender in a way im not sure it was intended to. ken saying he has all of the genitalia felt even more transgender. headcanoning them both as extremely transgender in fun weird new ways and no one can stop me.
-Allan is my favorite character i think. bro me too
