I Can’t Believe That We Got A 69 Minute Long Jamie-centric Ot3 Fic With Hurt/Comfort And Jamie Needs

• the depressed Barbie who watches pride and prejudice on repeat

• the dancing was perfection

• the small 4th wall breaks

The Barbie Movie.

A small, non-comprehensive list of things that stood out to me (spoilers? Kind of?)

The soundtrack

All the jokes that played off of what it was actually like to play with barbies (the pool & ocean being flat, the cups having no drinks in them, the shower having no water, etc.

TRANS BARBIE

The choreography

The "I Am Kenough" tie-dye sweater

Barbies of many shapes and sizes! All very beautiful!

THE ENDING, OH MA LORD. Both the way the story concluded really beautifully, but also the ending joke that no one was prepared for—

Just... everything about Ryan Gosling's performance

Kate McKinnon playing the deranged, "ugly" Barbie

In the same vein, that movie would NOT have been complete without representing the kids who played with their dolls "too hard" (cutting their hair, bending them in weird ways, etc.)

Acknowledging that Barbie did in fact mean a lot to some girls. This movie was geared towards everyone, whether you grew up loving Barbie or hating her.

The mom and her daughter

The fact that when Barbie was starting to become "defective" and/or when she was in the real world, you could start to see her ""flaws"". Like I noticed in some scenes her eyebrows were unplucked and no longer perfectly sculpted, or her skin no longer perfectly smooth with foundation.

It was clear that SO much thought and research was put into this. I couldn't believe how many references there were to specific clothing items, certain playsets, etc.

The fact that Barbie and Ken DIDN'T end up together, and that Barbie DIDN'T indulge Ken in his flirtations (is that a word?) even once

THE FACT THAT I WAS SO CLOSE TO ACTUAL TEARS LIKE SEVEN TIMES???? LIKE WHAT????

The weird dark humor coming out of nowhere

The fact that Barbie never once looked at the human women (who were "imperfect" in comparison to her) with disgust

......the moment between her and the woman on the bench 😭😭😭

The mom's rant about how hard it is being a woman (esp a mother) and how you can never win 🙌🙏

The misogyny in the Real World was so well done. It wasn't overexaggated or over the top it was just NORMAL EVERYDAY LIFE

THE JOKE ABOUT HAVING A MAN SIT YOU DOWN TO TALK ABOUT THE GODFATHER ASDJGKDLW

The moment where I went "OH so THAT'S where the mugshot memes came from"

Ruth Handler <3

The fact that everyone came to the theater dressed either in pink or Barbie-like attire :)

they would have the craziest beef

This is the most exciting thing to happen all year. I want more drama

I love my babies 😭❤️

taking pics of my tv like im a soccer mom

Barbie (2023)

well MAYBE if he stanned his FAMILY he’d be alive and well!!!!

My family had a similar reaction and to this day I don’t feel entirely accepted. I know it could be a lot worse. But sometimes i just wish they would love this part of myself too.

I'm so very emotional about Ted Lasso specifying that "we don't care" is a a bad reaction to people coming out because that's what happened to me. I worked up all this courage and I coordinated to get my father, my mother, and my mother's boyfriend all in the same room, and my mother's reaction was, and I quote, "okay, get that scholarship in on time or I'll fucking kill you". And when I was understandably upset, some of my friends tried to convince me that I was overreacting because at least my parents weren't angry or homophobic. Being queer is a part of your identity, you can't say you "don't care" about part of your loved one's identity. Even if you're trying to show that your feelings for someone haven't changed, you're dismissing them. And just like Ted explained, you're leaving them alone.

PS, the story has a happy ending for me, my pediatrician found out how my family reacted and stood up for me to my mother, who I no longer talk to, and the rest of my family is wonderful and accepting

rewatching and the way luffy has no concept of personal space within his friendships is so endearing to me. the way he'll lay his head on nami's and straddle zoro and squeeze-hug koby without a single thought that it might be too much too fast. he loves like a little kid, and he sees the world like one too - just a massive playground where anything can happen. it's easy to see why his crew are drawn to him, especially nihilists like nami and zoro who have seen the worst of people. he represents the hopeful little kids inside them 😭

I swear to god if those men in the Ted Lasso writers room pull out a sense and sensibility themed plot.

The older more emotionally reserved leading lady who conceals her emotions but desperately wants love.

The younger hopeless romantic who wants to be swept off her feet.

The hopless romantic enters into an exciting world wind romance with a rich attractive partner who showers her with attention and gifts. Unfortunately, they have a public scandal which they had already done once before and they choose their reputation over our leading lady.

Eventually, the hopeless romantic realizes that the grumpy old man who’s been looking out for her and allows her to be herself while grounding her is the one for her and they end up happily together.

Back to our other leading lady.

She ends up with the kind man who does not appear to be agreat romantic lead but boasts a quiet intimacy that makes people attach to him, including a previous relationship that is still prominent in his life. Everyone notes how good of friends they are because no one suspects there could be anything but friendship - they continuly miss chances and hold emotions close to their chests. Both putting others needs before their own happiness. Our leading lady eventually lets her guard down and allows herself to express her emotions to him instead of keeping them to herself. They too end up happily together.
