i want to use “life’s like a movie write your own ending keep believing keep pretending” as my senior quote but who should i credit? i know there’s the whole “jim henson didn’t say that” discourse and i don’t really want to say kermit or the muppets, so should i say paul williams or kenny ascher? or someone else?

please reply if you have any idea 🙏🙏

hey it’s been a minute!

i finally finished hsmtmts last tuesday after purposely putting it off (i have cried about the show at least twice every day since then. i could write an essay about how monumental that show was for me and what it was like being one of the most active people in the fandom during the s2 airing but that’s beside the point) and started doogie kamealoha to fill the hsmtmts-shaped hole in my heart !!

keeping it as spoiler-free as possible, what was the show like back when it aired? what was the fandom like? anything else i should know? i’m so curious !!

and lastly, when should i stop watching it so that im not heartbroken over the fact that it got cancelled after 2 seasons /hj

I can totally hear this cat tuning the guitar while the children find a good place to sit.

And also the way Barbie and Ken are role playing heterosexuality without any inherent sexuality of their own, without any understanding of what it means, or even any genitals at all! Just pretty-girl + handsome-guy = obviously a couple. And the way it fucks them both up! Because they’re both stereotypes, neither of them is a specialist version, no brain surgery or pilots license or Nobel prize for either of them. They’re just assigned the roles of Every Man and Every Woman. And Ken ends up doing Way Too Much because he’s hanging his entire self-worth on being important to Barbie. And Barbie just isn’t interested in him, she was assigned a boyfriend she didn’t ask for and doesn’t want and doesn’t know what to do with, just because that’s what society expects of men and women, that they will necessarily couple up and fall in love because… that’s what they do. Regardless of any personal quality of either party.

It’s about heteronormativity and amatonormativity and the unrealistic expectations society sets boys and girls up for from infancy. Barbie and Ken are every pair of toddlers sharing a sandbox while the adults around them call them each other’s little “boyfriend” or “girlfriend” even though neither party understands or is capable of understanding the implied meaning of that. Or wants to.

It’s a literal funhouse mirror of that weird pressure put on kids to perform heterosexuality from an early age. It examines how that leaves us unprepared for the complicated reality of actual relationships even if it turns out that you are heterosexual and do want sex and romance. Boys and girls aren’t really allowed to be just kids on the same team, so they grow up into men and women who generally want very different things from each other and are trained to look for it in everybody because anybody is better than nobody, and try to force it to work.

Barbie and Ken letting each other go in the end was perfect. Barbie the Every Woman realizing that she doesn’t have to be special, she just has to be, and Ken the Every Man realizing he has to seek validation elsewhere and lean on his fellow Kens for emotional support, WHICH THEY GIVE.

Truly a movie of all time.

barbie: i’m not pretty anymore

narrator: this would be a far more effective line if it wasn’t coming out of margot robbie’s mouth

i can understand why people think the activism plot of barbie was too “heavyhanded” but OF COURSE the barbie movie was going to have a feminist message! the whole point of barbieland is that the women run everything! we see barbie getting catcalled in the trailer and punch the guy who does it! personally, i felt seen when america ferrara’s character was going into how hard it is to be a woman and it’s still important to go into that in depth because it REALLY IS hard to be a woman! and men don’t understand that and they need to see this movie, and understand it, and maybe the treatment of the kens will help them see how they treat women.
