Yandere Barbie and Ken (2023) with a 1960s Barbie s/o?

That I can anon!

YANDERE!BARBIE AND KEN X 60s!BARBIE!READER

Barbie and Ken think you are so cute!

With your bubble haircut and gloves and shit

You just scream innocence

When Barbie starts having thoughts of f death she also starts having thoughts of being with you <3

When Ken finds out about the patriarchy he finds out about women of the 50s/60s and instantly thinks of you

You could be his little housewife <3

So they both become obsessed for different reasons

But obviously if they fought over you, you would get scared of them

So when Barbie comes back to Barbieland she makes a deal with Ken

He will demolish the patriarchy and the two of them will share you

Barbie guilts you into being with them

"I thought I lost my home and all my friends and I still can't stop thinking about.... death. I need you"

You feel bad for her so you agree to be with her

Then somehow Ken is involved

You don't even know how

One day it was you and Barbie

Then the next it was you, Barbie and Ken

And the relationship is kinda confusing

You are dating Barbie but you're married to Ken but Ken is not married to Barbie and Barbie is not dating Ken

Of course they have to keep their darling safe. Away from all the other Barbie's and Ken's and Allan

So Barbie gets a new dreamhouse. Far away from all the other dreamhouses

And every night you choose who's bed you sleep in because obviously Ken and Barbie aren't going to share a bed

Because they are loyal to you

You are literally never allowed to leave the dreamhouse

You spend all day cooking and cleaning and dressing up in pretty dresses

And generally just being a pretty housewife

Dr Barbie came to the dreamhouse once to see you

No one has seen her since

Barbie and Ken swear they don't know what happened

They do

Everyone learns to leave the three of you alone after that

As long as they stay away from the secluded the dreamhouse then they are safe from suffering the same fate as Dr Barbie

What happened to Dr Barbie?

Barbie and Ken may or may not have played with her too roughly

GOOD THING THEY LIVE NEXT TO THE BEACH

Overall you are literally stuck. You should of ran to the real world when you could

[justabarbiegirl05]

Gloria: *looks at Barbie and starts breathing heavily*

Sasha: Mom are you ok?

Barbie: She does this every time! She'll pass out and be fine after! She says this is what best friends do!

Sasha: I'm moving out.

HCs: Stereotypical Barbie, Beach Ken, & Allan reacting to their S/O dressing up as them for Halloween

Note: Made this a little bit "meta" (and by that I mean the characters are aware that their outfits exist as marketable costumes in the Real World).

........

Stereotypical Barbie

Among the many things she learned (and is still learning) about the Real World, it's that the "glorification of rampant consumerism" went beyond her toyline and made a LOT of sense during Halloween.

She never expected to see her western, jumpsuit, and gingham outfits stuffed into bags when you both visit a Spirit Halloween store (although it was neat seeing an entire section dedicated to Barbie).

And she was especially surprised to learn that "Barbie and Ken" were gonna be one of the most popular couples' costumes this year (it's a little awkward for her since she's not with Ken anymore, but she won't complain much).

Speaking of costumes, she never understood why so many of them had to be bloody and scary--or cute, bloody, and scary all rolled into one.

She'll quickly gloss over them and hurry back to the cute costumes, often tugging you along with her before you can protest.

Compared to Barbieland, Halloween is...definitely celebrated differently here.

She still doesn't get why humans would wanna buy fake severed limbs for decorations, nor why they created such scary lifelike robots.

But she does a total 180 when a girl dressed up in her western outfit passes her by on Halloween night, saying "Hi Barbie" with such a big smile on her face.

Suddenly, she likes this holiday a little bit better, especially after seeing other ladies posting their own Barbie-inspired Halloween costumes on social media.

It's the scariest season, and yet there's so much joy going around as she realizes women are still coming together and lifting each other up!

Her happiness only grows when she arrives at your doorstep with candy, and you surprise her by dressing up as a Barbie yourself!

When she realizes you chose one of her outfits specifically, she can't stop gushing over you.

It's touching, especially since she wasn't really a "remarkable" Barbie doll; you literally could have picked any other doll's outfit to inspire your costume...

And yet out of all of them, you wanted to be her.

It genuinely made her feel special and so so loved.

Beach Ken

Like Barbie, he had very different expectations of Halloween.

He learned men were usually the ones who "protected" their partners from the scary stuff. So he tries his best.

Yet he's always the one curling up in your lap and/or hiding his face whenever a mild jumpscare happens in a movie.

But he loves loves loves dressing up for the holiday and decorating (although at times he forgets and will accidentally scare himself if he bumps into the decor--ie hanging bats).

He insists on being a cowboy this year (toy horse stick included) and reaaaally hopes you'll match with him.

Instead, you have a better idea and surprise him by your costume:

It's him!

Or more specifically one of his outfits (beach, dance party, rollerblade, western, kenough hoodie, etc.) that you either picked up online or handcrafted yourself over the course of several months/weeks.

Regardless, he's gonna cry when he realizes that you chose to dress up as him, of all people.

For the longest time, Ken looked towards other people for inspiration, especially when he first learned about the patriarchy.

But to learn that he's YOUR inspiration???

He feels like the luckiest man/doll alive.

Hell, you wore his outfit better than him somehow.

When you both are walking up and down the street, he's delighted seeing other people dressed in his western or rollerblade outfits (never mind them being so cheaply-made and mass produced), glad that the Real World's starting to appreciate Ken again.

But compared to you?

You were a ten.

Allan

He was sorta adamant towards Halloween, at first.

If anything, he worries for your sanity (and perhaps humanity's sanity as a whole) after you showed him some classic horror movies.

Poor guy is just baffled as to why anybody would like seeing that kind of stuff...and how it doesn't keep them wide awake at night.

But once you tell Allan about all the other customs and traditions, he partakes in them--although anything involving blood is a no-go for him.

On Halloween night, you both agree to just kick back and hand out candy to trick-or-treaters.

His "costume" is the outfit he usually had on in Barbieland, but he's worried that it pales in comparison to whatever you're planning to wear.

All you said over text was that it's a "big surprise", so he's anxious to see it.

He's well aware of Barbie and Ken having their own costumes, and he tries not to sulk about there being no Allan costumes in this world.

Yet when he opens the door, he nearly drops the candy bowl upon seeing you wearing a similarly striped shirt, shorts, and sandals.

You decided to dress up as him!! As an Allan doll!!

Now he finally realizes why you've spent hours couped up in your room.

There's a good chance he's gonna get all weepy over this (and frantically claim that it's allergies when a few concerned trick-or-treaters come up to the door a minute later).

But now he takes back whatever he said about nobody in the Real World caring about Allan.

Because you cared.

I think that if there was going to be another Barbie movie, Barbie and Ken should both discover their bisexuality, have several beautiful romances with both men and women, before eventually realizing (once they’ve both gotten comfortable being independent of one another) that they miss each other’s company, even just as friends, and then Ken packs up his little ruck sack and heads off to the Real World to see Barbie, not really expecting her to be very enthusiastic to see him, but he’s surprised when he turns up at her door and she throws her arms around him and smiles and laughs because she’s really truly missed him, and then they become good friends and they do all kinds of things together that friends do, slowly realizing that it may be more than friendship after all, but this time their romance is real and genuine and built on mutual want and desire, and long story short (I know, too late) Ken eats Barbie out. the end.

The real world is forever and irrevocably messed up!

Barbie (2023) has wlw references. Bombshell (2019) existed before Barbie (2023). And I'm seeing people linking Bombshell with Barbie just to say that Kate McKinnon predicted Margot Robbie as Barbie, BUT in BOMBSHELL there is a scene where they sleep together. So, Weirdo Barbie slept with Stereotypical Barbie.
