I like Ken. The Barbie movie got me to write again. This is a side-blog. Aroace | 35 | she/her but in a Weird Barbie way. In a Crowley way. In a little frog in a bog way | I do not give permission to repost my works anywhere (reblogs are welcome)
Yee-howdy, I'm Gender Kenvy. Based on the name, you can safely assume my specialty is the Barbie movie and my main squeeze (blorbo? is that what the youths call it these days?) is Ryan Gosling's Ken.
I'm ace and probably aro, too, so I tend to explore that a lot in my writing. My pronouns are *exaggerated shrugging*
I am 35 and rediscovering my love of storytelling after a long drought in writing. (Sorry! I am an internet elder and very, very not hip with the times. But Margot Robbie and I are the same age and that's kinda cool.)
I mostly publish over on Ao3 but have cross-posted a couple of things here.

Just a Girls' Doll in a Man's World
[the one that got me writing again <3 ]
Ao3 Link
Summary: Ken is called to the Real World through a portal to his very own human, except that the problem they're facing is one he caused, himself. Now he's taking classes, trying to learn how to be better and mend the rift. It just so happens he's taking some of the same courses that Barbie is. They figure out how a doll and a human with a half-century relationship behind them can help each other grow as people.
Summary: Barbara Handler finds an abandoned doll on a park bench - except he's not a doll anymore. Ken is homeless, but doesn't seem to mind. As time passes, it's clear that he's hiding something: he keeps going missing, only to pop up again acting strangely, can't hold down a job, and won't stick around in the same place for very long. Barbie is determined to figure him out so he can finally have the life always denied to him as a doll. But he has to let her help him.

Summary: Ken comes to the real world, but somehow ends up in the 60's and immediately gets drafted to 'Nam. Barbie & co. reel him back to the present, but he's withdrawn, shell-shocked, and practically mute. They piece together the past he isn't telling them, the life he'd built for himself and lost. Based on a dream. Rough draft/outline. Heavy themes.

Summary: The Ken x El Esposo de Gloria fic you didn't know you needed. Processing a divorce because his best friend is happier with Barbie, Owen is left treading water, lost. He's happy for them, truly. No hate. But who even is he, anymore? Thankfully, ducklings float - and one is heading right for him.

The first one was my idea of what he would go for as a jingly celebrations outfit ahah the eridians collect and make him all sorts of beads; even if they're sad that their most resonant materials are toxic to Grace. They settle on some of the lightest metals they have plus porous rocks (trying to avoid extra weight as much as possible because of, well, extra gravity).
Grace has a fun week sorting them by colour which is incomprehensible to them (to the point someone alerts rocky that the human has been pushing the same beads around arbitrarily and is he ok??)
It is not the best sounding outfit anyone has heard but they're happy Grace is well enough to celebrate with them!
The second one was inspired by the oracle of Delphi. Got me thinking of eridians settling upon such fissures and getting permeated by a soothing cocktail of underground gasses. Either for medicinal purposes like joint pain or just as a way to relax. A bit like thermal springs for humans.

Sometimes you have a thought that is so simple and so obvious and you look it up and you're right and you wonder...
DNA survives freeze-drying. With Eridian advancements in cloning technology, they very well could have isolated DNA samples of any one of Grace's burritos (assuming they weren't pre-cooked at too high of a temperature. There has to be an option somewhere in the four years' worth of food available between saving Rocky and arriving on Erid to isolate one bite worth, right?). Lettuce. Beans. Non-human meat. Wheat, even??? Who knows, maybe even eggs. Idk enough about how that works but I bet they could do it. (Would it be weird to them since they're an egg-laying species?)
