DIALOGUE PROMPTS.
" you look like you could use a hug. "
" please tell me you didn't cancel your plans for me... "
" don't be silly, you're much more important than some tinder date! "
" where's your jacket? i'd like to show you something, and it'll involve a bit of walking. "
" you know i'm always here for you, don't you? no matter what. "
" hey, now... i'm only ever a phone call away. "
" come on. let's get you to bed. "
" i'm listening. "
" hey, do you have any spare pajamas? i'm going to sleep on your couch tonight; that way you just need to shout if you need me. "
" what are your nightmares about? they may not be so bad if you talk about them. "
" another nightmare? "
" hey now, no more apologizing. i'm glad you called me; i meant it when i said any time, any place. "
" you know you're never a nuisance nor a burden. not to me. "
" i'm helping you, and that's final. i'm not taking no for an answer. now. where's your kitchen? i'm making us some comfort food. "
" maybe you think it's your job to look after everyone else. but it's not supposed to be like that. it works both ways. and now it's my turn to look after you. okay? "
" hey, now. you've been helping me ever since we met. it's about time i started repaying the favor. "
“ i’m so proud of you. i know it’s hard to get past these rough days, but... i still want you to know that i’m proud of you. “
“ you know, i reckon our bond is definitely strong enough to endure whatever it is that you need to get off your chest. “
“ it’s alright, now... i got you. “
“ you don’t need to worry about scaring me off. i’m not going anywhere. you can try as hard as you want, but there’s nothing you can say that’s going to make me like you any less. “
“ you know, i make the best hot chocolate in the world. seriously, i’ve asked absolutely everyone on the planet. everyone except you... what do you say? wanna make it a global fact? “
“ let’s go smash some stuff until you’re ready to talk, okay? “

❝ Hi, Santa said you wished for me. Good choice ! ❞
cue a dramatic gasp as soon as she hears veronica's utterings. a look of pure shock embedded onto her features, eyes wide open beneath manicured raised brows, glossed lips slightly agape. the shake of the head started faintly but it increased in intensity, golden locks caressing her countenance. ❛❛ no. no. just no. ❜❜ she muttered first under her breath, as she stopped shaking her head in denial, ❛❛ he was supposed to keep it a secret. you weren't supposed to know! ❜❜ exasperation dripping from her tone as hands move frantically in the air. a deep breath in and a deeper breath out. both hands now resting atop her lap, shoulders rolled backward to straighten her posture. ❛❛ that's so not cool of santa. he's now on my naughty list. ❜❜ her tone back to its melodic, honeyed range, in complete opposition to the little scene she previously put. ❛❛ you're not like, mad or something, that he brought you here without putting a bow in your head and forcing you to stay under the tree or whatever he does… right? or do you want that? we can always do a double take! ❜❜
i made a playlist both for entertainment & for musing purposes.
if you watch the videos, tell me, which barbie are you?
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 .
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 ?

there were about a million reasons why barbieland was far superior to the real world; and yet, this barbie too wondered about the world beyond those pink plastic walls. she wasn’t smiling anymore, instead, she took all the information allan was giving her in, nodding her head ever so slightly. " i get it, " she’s quick to affirm and support her friend, though her own mind has been subjugated to peculiar thoughts lately. she wasn’t even phased anymore about the language used by other dolls, it became a habit for such words to be uttered with nonchalance. " but you’re not alone, allan. i think we’re all broken or sick or … " there’s a pause, in which she tries to find the appropriate term ; it was easy to feel the feeling, but not so much to explain it, it seems. " we are simply becoming something else. i don’t think we were meant to stay the same. nothing is. just because we take the same route everyday doesn’t mean it’s supposed to be the same. i’ve noticed recently more dolls seem to have problems with their schedules and everything. but that’s okay. " it wasn’t, because she doesn’t know why that happens, only that she accepts it. but there’s a small flicker for knowledge, a hunger that no pancake could fix. " i think we should take a trip into the real world and see where the journey will take us. we can conduct, as scientist barbie said, an experiment. and, if the conclusions are good for us, maybe the others can join. "
b4rbieroberts asked: 🙶 do you really want to leave barbieland? 🙷 / sidenote but i think allanland should be a thing. i'm just saying....
" YES. " did he say that a bit too quickly ? there's a lot there.
a sigh. he sits down next to barbie , looking out at the painted pink sky. " i mean , i feel like i'd be lost .. but when ken came back , he seemed like a completely new person. i wanna feel like i belong. you've always been nice to me though , barbie. i just .. i'm just so gosh darn confused ! " he threw the d word in there. surely if the other barbie's would hear such a phrase uttered , they'd be disgusted. but he wants to be real with barbie. REALLY REALLY REAL. like , not plastic.
" i think about dying a lot. "
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.
