#I LIKED KEN EVEN

[catharsistine]

The scene in the Barbie trailer when Barbie is skating around with Ken and asks "Why is everyone staring at me?"

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE AN ADOLESCENT GIRL.

Living in Barbieland (childhood girlhood) but then suddenly you're all grown up in the real world subject to scrutiny and sexualisation (the guy slapping Barbie's ass) and feeling like existing is a crime?

Being forced by adult men into a box (which leads to the not like other girls syndrome) and exploring the 'real world' (being forced to grow up too quickly) while fighting the realisation that maybe the world sucks and being a woman is so difficult while hoping with all your heart that it's not always going to be this way.

Losing touch with the very things that made you happy because they're considered immature and girly? (The group of teens that said they hadn't played with Barbies since they were five.)

Older women telling you that you have to learn the truth about the world and that you can never have your old life back (Kate Mckinnon's Barbie) despite it being the only thing you yearn for, but also older women being a bright spot and support (the old woman on the bench) in the endless slough of life.

And this is just the trailer!!! I'm so excited for this movie I can't breathe, Greta Gerwig the woman that you are 😭

Quick fanart sketch of Emi and Ken from Ultraman Rising since the movie recently came out on Netflix! I worked on this a long long loooong time ago as a story artist, and I'm so glad to finally see it come out! Loved the heart and humor in the film :)

[poeticsapphicism]

Barbie: So this is my boy friend Ken and these are Ken’s boyfriends Ken, Ken and Allan

Barbie: Aaaand over here we have my beautiful wife Gloria and Gloria’s husband…uhh…

Barbie, whispering to Gloria: What’s his name again?

Gloria, gazing lovingly at Barbie: That’s not important
