Just watched the Barbie movie and my husband pointed out that Allan was giving strong aro/ace energy and I mega agree. Like Allan was giving “strong independent man who don’t need no woman”(good for him) vibes but also “I don’t like the Kens”(fair). I can’t think of anymore reasons why he is but he just is, okay? Aro/Ace Allan confirmed if you ask me.
the fact that a bunch of Allan’s escaped Barbieland and became hit boyband group NSYNC is actually so insane and probably the best thing I have ever heard
being a lone allan supporter before the movie even came out and now seeing people watch barbie and posting about him is wild man i was shouting into the void and now the void is shouting back
My hand slipped and I made a timeline of the real lives of all the Poe Party attendees. Just, y'know. For fun.
Interesting notes (spoilers ahoy):
- The timeline is SO close to being exactly 200 years: Jane Austen was born December 16 1775, and Agatha Christie died January 12 1976.
- The closest two in both life and death dates were Emily Dickinson and Louisa May Alcott: they both lived to the age of 55, and their lives were only offset by two years.
- Neither of the two most long-lived attendees, H.G. Wells (died at 79) and Agatha Christie (died at 86), survived the evening.
- Hemingway was the last to be born, but Christie was the last to die.
- Christie outlived everyone, both in terms of age and death date, but she had the least screen time.
- Austen was the first born, and in the show she was the first to die.
- Charlotte Bronte was the shortest lived at just 38, followed by Poe (40) and Austen (41).
- Fun fact: Mary Shelley is definitely haunted, she kept moving around and loading incorrectly for no reason and I ended up having to retake the screenshot three times.
I put this together out of curiosity, because my roommate and I were musing about the disparate lifetimes of the authors, and figured I might as well share it. If you feel like this is Anne Bronte and Ralph Waldo Emerson erasure, you can make your own!
guys we need to all agree that this allan is a homosexual. because he is. [SPOILERS] the allan that got midge pregnant escaped to the real world. allan says another allan escaped before in the movie when trying to escape kendom with the humans. [END SPOILERS] he can represent the gay experience of growing up isolated, not accepted by the guys but not really one of the girls. i’ve also seen the nonbinary community become fond of him. LETS ALL AGREE THAT HE IS ONE OF US OK? HE IS LGBTQ. ALLAN I LOVE YOU.
