customer comments: " i was more than happy to be by their side... (female in late 20s) "
his words like whipped cream on top of waffles ⸻ to say barbie was content with joker would be an understatement. that bat man clearly didn't know joker like she did. and what a pity that is! all worries fade from her visage when their hands intertwined, pearly whites bared at him. ❝ i know, i know, ❞ a pause commences, in which she shook her head to sway the few strands that blocked her vision, ❝ but for a moment there, i totally doubted my thoughts. it was like when we first met! ❞ she mused, losing track of reality as her mind was too preoccupied to remember their first encounter. barbie was hopeless and full of flaws she never even knew existed. that was, until she crossed paths with the joker. someone who acknowledged her as a doll that was perfectly perfect, at least that's what barbie thinks anyway.
another shook of the head as she returns to the real world, cerulean optics carefully watching his other hand. when he revealed the new toy, her entire demeanor lit up. a bright, hollywood - worthy smile spread upon her visage, her gaze growing wider. ❝ for me? ❞ a squeal of excitement passing glossed lips as she reached for the gun. and just like a kid would, she snatched it from his grip in an instant, bringing it closer to her face. albeit still learning the ways of the real world, barbie couldn't help the curiosity that bloomed within her living body (although that remains unknown, it's best dolls remain unaware of such thing) ⸻ she inspected it closely, first the left side, then the right side and ultimately, she ended up pointing the barrel into the only eye she had open.
❝ i know what this is, ❞ a gun, that was easy for barbie, ❝ we had guns in barbieland as well! i learned how to maneuver one on the set once, but it was a prop. i know it was because this is wayyyyy heavier than the one i had. ❞ with a swift motion, she pointed the gun towards the ceiling, trying to press the trigger. but nothing happened, ❝ is it broken? i press the thing but it doesn't work. ❞ another quick glance at her beloved gift before she cautiously pointed it downward, returning the gun. ❝ would you fix it for me? i love it and i know the next time i come across the bat person i will scare him until i get my answers. ❞
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!
❝ 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! ❜❜
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.
both hands delicately hover to hide the mouth — a manifestation of barbie's anticipation for gift giving surpassing even the enthusiasm for the holidays.. there was something too special about seeing another unwrap a present, knowing or otherwise what it contains. the way their eyes lit up with joy and the way a wide smile spreads across their features, as they return to the past, when they were kids and everything much easier. kids deserve to be happy and, unfortunately, for barbie everyone's a kid of someone else. which doesn't leave anyone she knows without a little present. cerulean optics observe chrissy intently, as if not to miss the peak of joy. a melodic chuckle escapes her throat upon hearing chrissy's first verbal reaction. hands clapped together as her fingers interlaced. ❛❛ yay, i'm so happy you're happy with it. at first i was thinking maybe i should bring you there and let you get your own bear, but then i thought about it and i couldn't spare you the element of surprise. ❜❜ unable to contain herself, she involuntarily spills the beans —. it was extremely difficult for her to keep such a secret hidden as it often overflowed her psyche. the compulsion to divulge or bestow presents promptly upon acquisition was simply insurmountable. ❛❛ luckily, i found something you can choose from. you have to come with me to the christmas market but you'll be picking what we'll do there. how's that sound? ❜❜
barbie has arrived to your inbox, chrissy. and guess what? she brought a pink care bear to which she put a santa hat on before badly wrapping it up. it was pretty obvious what was behind the red paper wrap, but barbie hopes the gesture overthrows the awful wrapping job she's done. ❛❛ this belongs to you. i thought i should give it to you before we go to the christmas market. i just couldn't wait until christmas. i hope you like it? ❜❜
---☁︎。⋆。 Chrissy's eyes absolutely lit up at the present. "You didn't have to get me anything," she nearly whispered out, taking the package from Barbie's hands. But the thought and excitement the woman showed made Chrissy excited to open it. The teen had a small hunch on what it could have been, but the excitement didn't lessen even as the younger carefully unwrapped the paper. (Chrissy had always been the type to make sure wrapping paper was taken off without any tears or rips. As pristine as she could keep it.) "Love-A-Lot Bear," she answered with a bit of aw in her voice, adjusting the little bear's hat. "Oh, I love it a lot," a giggle was evident in her voice at the slight pun. "Thank you. This really just started everything off in such a good spirit!"

hawkins was already covered with a white blanket in mid december, which did coincide with barbie's christmas spirit ever growing within. no matter what others said, christmas was right there in front of them and all around them. the crystalling snow, the hanged up lights 'round town, the christmas market with the gigantic ferris wheel to look down at their little town lit up with christmas joy. everything hinted at christmas already being there. cerulean optics were gazing at one of the decorated houses, with a santa claus decoration on the rooftop, among with his reindeers. barbie was trying to find rudolph — the process similar to finding waldo. it wasn't until a snow ball was thrown her way, bits of snowflakes adorned her dyed blonde hair. ❛❛ hey! ❜❜ she claims, turning her head to the side, to glance at lizzy. ❛❛ this calls for war. ❜❜ she continued in the uttermost serious tone her voice range can go. it didn't take barbie more than a couple seconds to lean down and grab some snow in her bare hands, making a perfect snowball. a flicker of youth's mischief in her glance as she swung her arm backwards, ❛❛ last chance, liz. d'you surrender? ❜❜
barbie did not have much going on for the holidays — if you disconsider the giant blowout party with all her friends, acquaintances and other people she's worked with over the years on movie sets and the dj she hired to mix christmas tunes. it was just another typical night preceding a holiday from her perspective. eartha kitt's santa baby was resonating throughout her residence as she gracefully transversed across the tiny cliques, trying to make brief conversations with each of them, until her cerulean optics laid upon sheldon. everlasting beam that graced her features spread even wider whilst high heels clicked underneath the porcelain floor as she made her way towards @sheldoney. ❛❛ there you are! what do you think of this party? ❜❜ she queried over the loud music, leaning ever so slightly towards him. ❛❛ oh. oh! ❜❜ cue a sudden exclaim as her gaze drifted upward towards one of the many mistletoes she put around the house to surprise the guests. as it turns out, it also came as a surprise for barbie herself. index finger points skyward, ❛❛ d'ya know what they say about standing under the mistletoe, right? may i? ❜❜ a light nod of the head follows, as she stares at him, waiting for an answer. barbie, mindful of mutual respect, refrained from seizing the moment outright, opting instead to observe tradition with a sense of decorum.
please forgive me for being vain, but there’s so much more that i want to say. this PIT that’s been growing inside is leading me astray. it may not last && as time flows past, i may just REGRET this TRADE, but i offer you my resignation and i offer to them this tirade.

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 .

MIDGE HADLEY [ PLAYED BY @shesmidge ] : i won't ever ask you for help ever again.
barbie always tries her best, however there are times when it’s not good enough. unfortunately when one strives for perfectionism, one does not grasp the reality. and so it was for barbie, when she had promised midge she’d be there to help her. what she didn’t take into account was that acting until past midnight would have consequences. she hadn’t heard the first alarm that went off. neither the second nor the third. and when she rolled out of bed, time was against her. she didn’t know how she managed to get out of the hotel she was staying at, nor the speed she was driving her car. when she finally reached midge’s house, she was already five hours late. legend has it, she’s still cussing out the traffic inside her head. ❝ hi, i’m sorry i’m late… ❞ she barely uttered as soon as her car door was slammed shut. she approaches midge with her chest seemingly closing in, an anxiety symptom she couldn’t quite grasp, but still she felt. and oh, how hard it clenched on her soul. but it was midge’s words that caused the most pain. lips parted open as she stuttered, not able to verbalize a response. there were plenty of thoughts inside her head going at the speed of light, but none that could emerge in a coherent manner. cerulean hues couldn’t even look at her friend anymore, instead they slowly drifted downward. she was ashamed of looking midge directly in the eye. why did she promise something unachievable? why didn’t she hear the first alarms? why did the universe put her in the middle of traffic? the only one at blame was barbie herself. she put an expectation for her best friend only to let her down. big time. with quivering lips, she managed to further utter, ❝ i know it’s all my fault. i’m sorry. i didn’t mean to keep you waiting this long. i know i promised you something. ❞ the weight on her chest traveled to her throat as she found herself unable to voice anything else. she didn’t want to disappoint anyone, but especially her best friend. midge was everything barbie ever needed back in the days ; and there she was, disappointing midge.
BECKETT ' TEDDY ' PIKE [ PLAYED BY @midfie1der ] : i don't know how else to ask you.
what a bliss, to be beside someone who sees beyond the external appearance. he sees right through her. or perhaps, she has lowered her guard on purpose. letting someone in was always the hardest part. but barbie learned that she could trust some individuals. it’s true what they say — trust is either earned or given freely. only that she did both, simultaneously. ceruleans stare at her own reflection in the mirror as she made the last touch ups. perfection was achieved through hard labor, that much she knew. seemingly in a trance, trying to pick out any flaw that wasn’t apparent in the first place. if one’s broken on the inside, the least they can do is look perfect on the outside. it was his voice that brought her back to reality, shattering the illusion she’s drawn herself. cue a twirl, breaking all contact with that damned mirror, now gazing at teddy. with swift motions towards him, she found herself standing right in front of teddy. head slanted to the side as she sways in her place, all attention focused on him. ❝ ask me … what exactly? ❞ honey dripped tone as she queried, admittedly bewildered by what he meant. a soft chuckle passed pink lips as she sketched a smile. barbie was on edge, curiosity taking toll over her frame. with each second growing more and more impatient. ❝ c’mon it’s not nice to keep a gal waiting! ❞ she uttered, in a feeble attempt at calming her own nerves. something about the unknown terrified the living hell out of her, though she’d never admit it out loud.

what are your character's most prominent physical feature ; i refuse to write just 1 so here u go
eyes : she has cerulean eyes, a mesmerizing shade of blue reminiscent of a tranquil ocean on a cloudless day. they possess a clarity that hints at untold secrets kept only by the stationary waters of a pristine lake. flecks of azure and turquoise dancing within the irises, like ripples of light playing upon the water’s surface. but it’s not the color that makes them remarkable; it’s the soulful depth within them. they hold stories untold, emotions unspoken and dreams yet to be realized. when those ceruleans eyes meet another’s, it’s as if they could pierce through the facade and lay bare the very essence of one’s being, an invitation to share the profound beauty and the utter ugliness in the world.
ever heard of the saying eyes are the windows to one’s soul? that’s right, i’m using that cliche to describe barbie. why you may ask. well, you see, since barbie’s job is acting, she focuses on selling a message with her eyes. whether or not she’s sad or happy or thrilled or in agony, you name the emotion. it’s important to note that, since her eyes are in the brighter spectrum, pupil dilation becomes more prominent, which can easily showcase how she truly feels. at least for the stronger emotions, in which pupils dilate. to be more cliche, think about falling in love or being angry. you can spot the truth in the pupil dilation.
hair : she has blonde hair, its hue reminiscent of gilded silk. from the root to the tips, strands of sun-kissed blonde wove the memories of summer sunrises, where golden tendrils glistened like morning dew, with hints of platinum that reflect in the sunlight. the texture smooth as the finest silk, yet soft as a whispered promise. each strand cascading down her shoulders with a luxurious embrace. she wears it in loose waves that tumbles down with effortless grace or in a half up half down manner, adorned with a silk ribbon that weaves its way through her hair. but do not be fooled by this appearance, for it is artificial. her natural hair, a light chestnut brown in stark contrast to the golden silk she currently presents the world.
to be honest with you, my main source for the dyed hair and why it is important to me comes from batman the animated series. to quote harley quinn, you thought i was just another bubble-headed blond bimbo! well, the joke's on you, ‘cause i’m not even a real blonde. that, to me, screams barbie. also, marilyn monroe is a big inspiration to both barbie and i! hence why she’d want to look like marilyn by dying her hair blonde, basically walking into marilyn steps as she too dyed her hair, only that from red to blonde.

JUST ALLAN [ PLAYED BY @its4llan ] : you can't expect me to just sit here and let you handle it.
she's on the verge. one of these days, someone had to believe in the barbies too. while it was true that they all specialize in certain fields & careers, barbies were capable enough to do anything on their own. how would the others dolls feel if they were treated the same way? oh, wait… note to the reader, this barbie doesn't acknowledge all that's happening ; and this is written from her own perspective. does that mean she's conceited? maybe. she puffs, counting to five in her mind before turning around to face allan. there's a bright smile put on display as hand rose in the air, motioning towards her head as if she remembered. " of course, how could i forget! " cue a melodic chuckle passing her glosses lips. she's so done with being the damsel in distress.
" how can actress barbie do anything else beside acting? she doesn't know anything else. that was silly of me to even think of. " cue to acknowledgement as she blinks in surprise to her own words that she uttered. shoulders begin to fall as she stares point blank into the abyss. allan had nothing to do with the impulsivity that's brewing within. she shouldn't have snapped like that. " i-i'm so sorry, allan. i don't know what's gotten into me. of course i'd like your help but i also think you're allowed to rest. i don't need saving all the time. " she's slowly coming to her senses… or is she? it isn't natural for a barbie to showcase any sentiment, let alone such a strong reaction to something benevolent. she really is a broken doll now, isn't she? and all the scripts she's read probably didn't help — she assimilated not only the words, but the emotions she had to portray in every scene. it was only a matter of time until her acting career would catch up on her and turn her life upside down.
