in honor of barbie movie, i dug my Midge ™ out of my parents’ shed so i could show you all just how she worked if you’ve never witnessed it in action
as you can see, Midge has a magnetic pregnancy belly that contours to her unpregnant body
now inside the pregnancy belly of course is the barbie baby. it comes right out, no vagina to exit through. and if you look closely you can see that her underwear is also painted across the bottom of the belly. there is no mistaking this for a woman with any genitalia. just underwear.
here is the baby within the belly. i don’t think either of these is the correct way a baby should sit in a uterus but do i look like a fucking doctor to you?
the clearly very happy mother and child. and discarded magnetic belly. with underwear band.

unrelated but i also found my louis tomlinson doll
“Ken wouldn’t do that to Barbie, it’s out of character!” Babes, that is the point.
Ken and his discovery of the patriarchy and the way it changes him is the exact same as what happens with adolescent boys. You have these guys who were so close to you, wether through friendship or family become people thatthey aren’t due to both peer pressure and the desire to hold power. Especially with the whole “podcast bro” thing he had going on in the Ken Dojo Casa House scene, Ken represents all the boys that lean into the patriarchy and change for the worst.
Ken was always so sweet, he was stupid and lovable and would do anything for Barbie. Then he got roped into toxic masculinity and all of a sudden he was cruel and pretentious. This is the same path that many of the guys I was friends with as a kid fell down. Barbie represents growing up as a woman and Ken represents growing up as a man.
horse laying down looking at camera nose rather close to the lens its face is one of tranquility though a spark of curiosity and life still remains in its eyes
This sounds scary, but then you remember that Mae has a 0/4 win-loss ratio and has been chased out of China, India, China again, and Japan with her tails figuratively between her legs
she’s just gonna get hospitalized with covid and cry about how she was totally gonna take over all of Asia this time for real definitely
“Going 0 for 4” is a pretty optimistic way to describe causing chaos and misery for like 3000 years across three different countries, every time achieving power and prestige until finally exposed, and three times getting away and doing it again. Even after they finally killed her Japan was plunged into a civil war.
