#fantasy??

hello :3 thank you for making yourself known 🤪 i havent really posted anything too new lately so you’re not missing anything!!

Say hi to hatty...he so weird and if you recognize him as a oc on bloblox then erm...hii

ok, i know i said i would do non-book reviews on fridays but i want to put this one up fresh.

i decided to go see the barbie movie. it's going to be hard to review because there is a LOT going on.

this is not really a movie for kids. the humor in the opening sequence depends on your having seen a movie from the 1970s, for crying out loud. (it was when i saw that scene previewed in the trailers that i knew i wanted to see the movie. for me, the humor REALLY lands.) that didn't stop the theater from running all ads for kids during the trailers.

this is the first movie i can recall seeing in a long time that explicitly addresses the social problem of patriarchy and sets out to examine, dismantle, and critique it. it's a comedy, but it doesn't hold back on the work. they also have Cock Ring Magic Ken (TM) ("he could plausibly be fisted in the corner of a sex club").

barbie is a movie that does the work. it's playful (and edging toward the outright psychedelic), but it starts on the note of what barbie was meant to be -- a doll that offered girls a toy representing the Adult world in a time of omnipresent baby toys: a toy that offered girls (starting in an era where women couldn't own their own credit cards) visions of the independent, competent, self-possessed women they could become. the tension between that vision and the world as it is -- including the downsides of barbie, the criticisms of her unrealistic physical appearance and the disparity between barbie's "accomplishments" and the struggle of actual women -- becomes the main theme of the movie.

i did wonder whether the plot veered too hard into telling the story of ken. he's a major part of the movie -- less so at the beginning, but centrally toward the end. i felt that the story at one point became too much ken's story when the movie should really be about barbie -- should be about women and womens' stories. but the woman with whom i saw the movie disagreed, so -- your mileage may vary.

america ferrera plays a major role in the part of a human in the real world whose story connects with barbie's, and she does fantastic work. her character is pivotal in the crisis that disrupts barbieland after they make contact with the real world, and her character adds a much-needed dose of realness to the story. speaking of realness, i can't write this review without plugging the final scene. it's almost worth watching the movie just for that.

I've been wanting to write a good story or two here instead of WP, Twitter, or whatever social media website out there.

Even if it's just a draft (for now), it's worth a shot. I write for fun, so criticism is fun, too.

Mind that there's also no title for now lol.

He awoke to the sound of sobbing. The magician was there, holding his hand as tears stained the sleeve of his cloak.

Julian was alive.

When Ghiko opened his eyes, the worried magician smiled in surprise. Their eyes meet with certainty, and Jules could only squeeze Ghiko's hand lightly.

"Ghiko..! Oh, thank goo-"

He sat up suddenly, welcoming the magician into his arms and kissing him as if it was the first time in years since they last meet. It took Ghiko more than enough to do such a move, and it was worth it when Jules accepted it wholly.

As they part, Ghiko could only smile to reassure the young magician.

"I promised to stay by your side, Jules. I won't leave you." Ghiko muttered, holding the other by the waist real tight. "I won't leave you."

Julian sincerely missed him, they both knew that. They were both scared of losing each other - and that made them closer.

The magician cried on Ghiko's shoulder, more than happy to see him alive. He didn't care if someone would see them, nor find out that they are indeed together. He was just happy to see Ghiko awake. With him.
