Barbie Actually Getting Them Out.... What Ifs - Blog Posts

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. "
