Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
i want dash to know that, for some reason, i have finished christmas thematic drafts that i never actually posted for some reason i can't comprehend myself.... should i still post them? that is all & you shall receive memes from this barbie, so beware!
today was a special day. i woke up with these exact lyrics in my mind : oh the misery, everybody wants to be ... my kennemy. so i did just that. this barbie now has a ken.
warning : cemetery mention , church mention , death related stuff
i have to go to the church and the cemetery. and here i am writing barbie. writing her does ease the mind. this time of the year is a mess lmao. i will bother u some more later, after i come back.
finished the new graphics ! kept the purple aesthetic and made it better i think ? that aside, i want to start writing here again since my wednesday muse is all over the place, so if you interact with this in any way, you shall receive something, either a starter or i'll hoard you with memes (personalized or otherwise)
hi barbies (all genders included) i was thinking about remaking the graphics and so far i have just one thing done. i do want to hear your opinion so here's a poll! below the cut is the potential new pinned!
the previous post explains some of my verses for barbie . as of right now , these are the ones that have been well thought out . more could come in the future , but keep in mind that they will all have the idea(l)s live forever vibe . i loved that in the movie and i think that applies to all dolls , including my own oc barbie the actress ! if you want a small thing ( short para or even one liners ) from barbie , please comment the verse you want her in & the muse you want it for ( in case you have a multi ) . the musing applies for all verses , but i gotta say im the most proud of the vampire lore . it's giving of interview with a vampire but throw the acting there and boom she now lives forever .
if u see me sending u personalized stuff in ur inbox , no u didn't
i am ashamed to admit that i , as an adult that can legally drink anywhere in the world , have found barbie horse adventure riding camp and played it for 3h straight . the graphics back in the day were something else istg , but after 3h of continuously playing , i can guarantee it seemed very similar to the last of us . but playing this reminded me of the games i abandoned on steam like phasmophobia or inside the backrooms or even dead by daylight which i suck at . that being said , if anyone ever wants to play any of these games , or hell , even some league of legends , hmu ! you were all doomed to be not only mutuals but friends , which by default is giving you the green flag for doing stuff occ like playing games and watching stuff .
logged back to tell everyone hi barbie ! i plan on getting back real soon , but until then you can also find me over at my goth barbie blog !
Reblog this if it's okay to have people message you if you accidentally unfollowed them. I've lost count the number of times I've seen my mutuals bringing up that the unfollowing glitch has come around again (or still). This is why it's incredibly important to state in your rules to softblock or hardblock when breaking ties.
i made a playlist both for entertainment & for musing purposes.
if you watch the videos, tell me, which barbie are you?
as promised , below the cut you can find my lil collection of barbie movies
the order is : barbie as the princess and the pauper ( first row left ) , barbie of swan lake ( first row right ) , barbie in the nutcracker ( 2nd now left ) , barbie as rapunzel ( 2nd row right )
there's also fairytopia stuck in the vhr for almost 2 decades ... if any1 has suggestions as to how to take it out , please do let a girl know ... the vhr doesn't eject automatically & tbh i don't think it works anymore . it does light up , it murmurs in ancient tongues when i press buttons like play / rewind / stop but that's about it .
i remember coming back from elementary school only to hop on pc for barbie horse adventure riding camp . those were the golden days . to this day i am thankful for the family friend that somehow got me this game when he realized letting an 8 year old play counter strike , shooting people and giggling wasn't okay . if any1 else played the game , do ya'll remember the glitch that transported you to another place that was inside this waterfall thing ? my memory may be skewed idk but i really loved that game . hence why it was so funny to me that horses were part of the movie . like hell yeah , horses rule !!!! speaking of this , later on today i will visit my grandma who found my barbie vhs tapes and the vcr . will update this post / reblog with the vhs tapes once i have them . i may also still have my horse toy from barbie , not too sure . can you tell your girl was into patriarchy horses ?

as 90% of desktop users have probably found out, today @staff released an update that for some insane reason COMPLETELY remodels the dashboard to replicate twitter's. this is of course in the wake of numerous other thoroughly hated changes and a continued refusal to fix any of the site's actual problems, half of which stem directly from site management.
HOWEVER, thanks to the power of jQuery, i was able to throw together a userscript that remodels the dashboard back to its original look almost perfectly.
here is my dashboard right now, with the script active:
and here is the old dashboard in separate tab container that hasn't received the update:
it's hardly perfect; i had trouble making it force reload to the fixed layout when switching between other pages and the dashboard, and it currently only fixes just the dashboard. it's also completely untested on browsers other than firefox, and chances are it looks a bit screwy on ultrawide monitors. but for now at least, it's a good fix.
the unfucker is a tampermonkey userscript. all you have to do to use it is install the tampermonkey extension, hit "create new script", and replace the default code on the page with the script (link here) and save it.
reminder to always appreciate your rp partners. be patient. be kind. support each other. ♡

Believe it or not, you're the most important person in your own life. You are who you've woken up to and gone to bed with every day since you were little. You've made your bed and snuggled in it after bad days. You've made yourself treats, just 'cus. You've kept going on bad days, wiped tears off your cheeks and have said "I've got this," before doing things that may be a little nerve wracking. You've tried your best and picked yourself up every time you've stumbled! That's strength. That's amazing and should be celebrated with a sweet and some you time. I know I'm here to celebrate you and your strength as well, friend! Keep that chin up this week. August is trucking along! - ♡♡ Victoria

thank you so much for all of this vic <3 your little messages have a special place in my heart ( and have had for a while now ) you're such a sweet person words cannot properly describe it . i'm glad to have met you & now you're not getting rid of me . i love you 😤💜
If We Ship Together? You can throw starters and asks at my muse(s) anytime. Bombard me in IMs with headcanons and aesthetics. You don't need to ask my permission. Oh, and by the by, my little chickadee? Have fun shaking me off your blog if we ship it hardcore, together.

under the cut you will find all the faceclaims i intend to use for this barbie ! arguably margot robbie has the most resources , but for the sake of all stereotypical barbies & other muses using margot robbie as faceclaim , i tried to find as many faceclaims as possible , for them interactions .

hi there , barbie / ken / allan / midge or whoever you are currently reading this. thank you ! these past few days i've abused the hell out of queue just because i couldn't bring myself to reply to anything ( that includes ooc messages either over ims or discord ) . for some odd reason , about 2 - 3h after i wake up my blood pressure goes " nah , today's not the day either babe , we're gettin' low low low low " and i just take another nap . i truly thought for a moment there it was the brain fuckery doing me wrong . anyway , what i'm trying to say is , i am not ignoring you . i am not having the writer's block either . my body is just not cooperating . today i have my trusty coffee & chocolate by my side just to see if i can trick this demon plaguing me . hopefully i can get to at least talk to everyone in private .
this barbie's going to the grocery store or whatever lidl is. however i feel like writing short stuff when i return home. so give this a heart or comment anything silly and you will soon receive a small starter thing in your inbox!
never be embarrassed for being proud of your OC. never listen to the voices telling you they’re too powerful or too weak, too angry or too happy, too hard or too vulnerable, too strong or not strong enough. if they are exactly how you intended to create them, or if they’ve grown beyond what you imagined in a way that makes you happy, then that’s all that matters. every published and produced ‘canon’ character is someone’s OC. you don’t bat an eye at these characters being proclaimed to be powerful. you don’t bat an eye at them being praised within the text or loved by the writers and fans. your OC is no different. there is not any real, important difference between what you’ve created and what you see on the pages of a book or on a screen. it’s all of equal value. it’s all just people telling stories and enjoyment is the only real value.
I love you "boring" female characters. I love you ingenues. I love you female characters who aren't "modern" enough. I love you female characters who aren't "badass" enough. iI love you female characters who aren't "empowering" enough. I love you quiet female characters. I love you unappreciated female characters. I love you polite female characters. I love you female characters who "can't appeal to modern audiences." I love you frightened female characters. I love you female characters labeled as not complex just for being nice. I love you female characters who get criticism just for not being their tomboy or femme fatale counterpart. I love you silk hiding steel trope.
frankie reminded me to write why barbie roberts and wednesday addams are ONE AND THE SAME. of course, that is from my own point of view since i'm writing them both with personal headcanons and everything. so here we go.
both barbie and wednesday have little to no knowledge about human emotions – they try to make it logical, but it almost never works out for them.
both barbie and wednesday have signature colors – fun fact, wednesday's signature color used to be pink too! also black and pink are really nice colors. i know black isn't technically a color but fight me, i stand by what i said.
both barbie and wednesday CANONICALLY (i don't agree with that bs) have something against men / masculinity overall. barbie dismisses ken just as wednesday dismisses xavier in the show. BOTH show some remorse by the finale.
both barbie and wednesday are defying stereotypes – the girly girl barbie breaks away from traditional gender roles while the goth barbie challenges typical perceptions of a young girl's interests. ALSO THEY ARE BOTH AIMED FOR LITTLE GIRLS!
both barbie and wednesday show the potential of dynamics between two or more people – barbie existence is linked with the other dolls (she has friends, boyfriend, even family members) && wednesday's existence is linked with her family (the infamous title: addams family values).
both barbie and wednesday are stubborn lil shits – look at any barbie movie and tell me she isn't stubborn af. look at any addams family movie or tv show or even comic and tell me wednesday isn't stubborn af. this is a dare. i dare you.
both barbie and wednesday are influenced by how the world perceives them – in the barbie movie, barbie went on a mental breakdown check when a girl called her a fascist. wednesday's villain origin story starts when she notices how her family's being treated by everyone else.
hot take ahead on barbie (2023) INCLUDING SPOILERS
i don't think barbie is about feminism. in this essay i will...
but no, really. according to the cambridge dictionary, feminism is "the belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power, and opportunities as men and be treated in the same way, or the set of activities intended to achieve this state". nowhere in the movie does it show any character wanting to become part of the feminist movement. i want to emphasize that feminism is about being treated the same way, including women having the same rights as men. barbie isn't a feminist. neither is ken. don't even get me started about the elf of the shelf aka mattel's ceo.
everytime i go on youtube i get bombarded (due to the algorithm i created lmao) with barbie videos and how everyone talks about feminism or anti-feminism for that matter. and from a sociological point of view (i missed using this fancy term), it shows how individuals will see/hear exactly what they are looking for - they will see/hear everything that goes along or, on the contrary, what contradicts their own set of beliefs that they had before watching the movie. if someone was looking for feminism, they will look at all the signs for women rights in barbieland being equal to men rights in the real world. or, vice versa, if someone was looking for anti-feminism, they will look at how all male dolls were treated (that includes the kens, allan/s and all the other dolls too as long as they fall into the masculine gender).
but let's break down the feminism definition to prove this point. my archnemesis emile durkheim said that "the totality of beliefs and sentiments common to average members of the same society forms a particular system that has its own life; one might call it the collective or common consciousness". in that sense, beliefs become part of a group (or subgroup) if they are agreed upon by a majority. the term women is too broad, so instead i will use another: individuals who identify with femininity (this is still skewed since it doesn't cover that much ground on all gender identities, but hopefully it's enough to make the point). the rest of the quote in the beginning basically agrees upon all genders having equal rights, power and opportunities in a society. to limit this even further, it means no discrimination whatsoever, regarding any aspect of one's life and activity in a society.
this brings me back to the barbie movie. the movie isn't about matriarchy vs patriarchy. from an empirical point of view (and it was hard to do that bc i adore the actors/actresses and the dolls), the movie can be considered at the very most satirical. barbieland was ruled by matriarchy until the kens overthrown that government. but the barbies did manipulate the situation so that they could take the power again. in the end, the barbies said they will allow some positions for the kens, but definitely not something important, suggesting that they couldn't face it. that isn't feminism. it's not about equal rights. it's exactly what we see in societies. let the minority think they won something when in fact, you don't give them at the very least the bare minimum.
i woke up and chose violence. but this is my hot take on the sociological aspects of the movie. i'm oh so tempted to make an actual paper including the political but that'd mean someone will have to read about 30 pages in word. and i feel sorry for that person already.
any1 wants to subscribe to catto pics ? im currently on mobile and at my aunt's who has 9 cats. pick a color (black, grey, white, orange, mix) for catto and u shall receive a pic with ur chosen cat.
Things I wish the Tumblr RP comm would get back to or be comfortable with again because I'm rp old and I've seen how much has changed and man the rp comm is not as fun as it used to be.
Crossovers. Just crossovers where we ignore canon cast and it's okay again to have two different muses from vastly different series interact. Like seriously why do I never see crossovers anymore what happened they were genuinely fun.
Reblogging general aesthetics / musing / music about our muses without 'clogging other people's dashes'. I don't know when it became a general dislike when someone reblogged stuff related to their muse, but for whatever reason it's distasteful now and I don't get why.
When we all were stans for familial / platonic relationships and how deep those went.
Promos being reblogged instead of just liked. Liking doesn't do a thing on tumblr no matter how much they try to make it work. Reblogging gets peoples muses seen.
Interacting with people's ooc posts to show interest or support toward other people's muses.
That small window of time when people were happy to give female muses and ocs a chance.
Also that small window in time when multi-muses weren't as harshly criticized but now we're back to that.
Generally just being far more open and nurturing creativity without worrying.
