Barbie Fun Fact
Symbology of the constellations in island princess
In the sky of the island it is possible to see the constellations of Cassiopeia, Andromeda, Cepheus and Giraffe, Beyond the Perseus constellation in the ocean sky.
In case you haven't noticed, 4 of these constellations are part of a Greek myth, The Myth of Andromeda. Each constellation represents a character. Andromeda is the princess, Rosella. Chepheus is the father, Sagi. Cassiopeia is the mother, Azul. And Perseus the love of the princess, Antonio.
The classifications are what most mark the characters, but not the acts of the myth itself, after all Cepheus and Cassiopeia delivered their daughter to death, what it represents is only the family position. In addition, each constellation has an astrological meaning that matches the personality of our characters.
Rosella - Andromeda: Dedicated and good at warming and captivating people's hearts, she does everything for her love, even abandoning herself.
Sagi - Cepheus: Good leader, great sense of justice, unyielding about what he think is right.It stands out for its curiosity.
Azul - Cassiopeia: Great artistic sense, intuitive, confident and sensual. You can end up relying too much on your intuition and end up missing the logic.
Antonio - Perseus: Courageous and likes to face challenges, at first he seems not to be satisfied with his current situation. Euphoric about his hobbies.
Making symbology to the story of the myth, Andromeda is rescued by Perseus who comes in his Pegasus, in this case, Antonio comes in his boat and rescues Ro from the island. Andromeda would be killed by Poseidon's sea monster, beings bound to water, and Ro nearly drowned twice.
But, what about Tikka? The giraffe has nothing to do with Greek myth, but it has to do with biblical history. How will this make sense? Keep reading.
Tikka- Giraffe: You like things your way, don't like to try hard, She is very restless, and likes to tell and listen to songs that are captivating or captivating.
The constellation of the giraffe comes a biblical episode in which Rebekah rode a "camel" on her way to the city of Canaan to get married. Of course, Tikka wasn't a big fan of Ro and Antonio's relationship. But in the scene where Ro is getting ready for the dance, Tikka shines a bouquet of roses on Ro, emphasizing the wedding. Not to mention that the scene of Ro entering the ball with the bouquet and that dress, was like an affront, like "I'm going to marry him" while it was Luciana's wedding ball with Antonio.

Ro's Island outfit had so much potential man...
When we first saw her,she was in the island with her trunk full of accessories like jewellery,shoes and clothes
A character who lives in the wild has a lot of potential to have a unique design, and ro literally could've used these fabrics to make an outfit but the trunk's only purpose in the story is to have ro know her name
What happened to the things inside of it was never explained(surely Antonio would've recognised that they could've belonged to a royal person?) The writers had the perfect opportunity to make a cool asf outfit but noo they had to give her a towel

The island princess is like the only time i've enjoyed a plotline resembling a love triangle.
Like you have 2 characters with feelings for one another, but bc of the circumstances, feel like they can't be together/dont deserve each other, and the person who one of them has been told they should want to be with and is also trapped by the narrative is their no. 1 supporter, bc they know two pining idiots when they see them.
like ugh that's literally the best part of the movie for me so i dislike when people try to just make the island princess about tika hate

Barbenheimer season: would the ROs watch Barbie, Oppenheimer, both or neither?
it's been ages since the ask was sent but better late than never teehee
j park: they are an oppenheimer person without a shadow of doubt. granted it's mostly because their emo ass absolutely hates barbie and the concept of pink things in general. if MC manages to convince them then maybe they'll give it a chance 👀
t kaufmann: they will vehemently say that they're team oppenheimer but you highly doubt that after seeing them buy pink clothes to wear to watch barbie in the theatres on release day 😭(they're not really fooling anyone)
vivienne malhotra: surprisingly prefers oppenheimer since she has a strange fascination with movies about death and tragedy 💀 but she won't say no to watching barbie either. she thinks it's the best of both worlds
sebastián navarro: he expected to like oppenheimer more but his attention span couldn't stand hours of drama. after watching barbie though, he related a lot to ken (more than he'd liked), and it'll probably be one of his comfort movies for a long time. the poor babie is kenough 🥹

Probably gonna get shit for saying this but... Did anyone else who is a fan of Infinity Train watch the Barbie movie and felt like Ken's arc was kiiiinda like Simon's???
You know, they're both guys who are in love with their female best friend and defined their entire identity around her. But when she starts having a crisis of identity, and he doesn't really understand why, he responds by succumbing to toxic masculinity because he feels abandoned or hurt by her actions in a way that really had nothing to do with himself?
Just me?
Okay.
