barbie's honestly surprised she hasn't broken that poor device – luckily, eddie was there to save the day. she's looking in awe at the powered up walkman, a smile slowly creeping up onto her countenance. " you actually did it?! " she's still confused, but she's got the spirit! therefore, a very happy barbie opens her arms and pulls him into a hug. it was the only way she could show him the appreciation sprung from within. " thank you, eddie! " she mumbles as she pulls away from the hug, quickly going through her bag to show him what she wanted to listen to. it was a cassette for madonna's material girl, painted over with pink & purple acrylics. barbie was, in fact, proud of the way she customized her cassette. " i've recently heard about madonna and wanted to give it a try. do you have any suggestions? "

eddie catches that comment, a look of confusion paints across his features, followed by an amused smile as she messes with the buttons. " no — see, you have to take out the batteries first. " the device is practically disassembled by the time he finishes his sentence. practice makes perfect. he's broken far too many, && all have been repaired at some point. && broken again.
" then you gotta put 'em back in && hold this power button. && voila. " the walkman is slid right back to her, just like new. " definitely not broken beyond repair, trust me. "
nerves have a tendency to sneak up on one, creeping around && striking just to make things awkward, && the relief comes in the form of twirling the many rings adorning his fingers. " — so, um, what were you listening to?? or were going to listen to?? "

hot take ahead on barbie (2023) INCLUDING SPOILERS
i don't think barbie is about feminism. in this essay i will...
but no, really. according to the cambridge dictionary, feminism is "the belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power, and opportunities as men and be treated in the same way, or the set of activities intended to achieve this state". nowhere in the movie does it show any character wanting to become part of the feminist movement. i want to emphasize that feminism is about being treated the same way, including women having the same rights as men. barbie isn't a feminist. neither is ken. don't even get me started about the elf of the shelf aka mattel's ceo.
everytime i go on youtube i get bombarded (due to the algorithm i created lmao) with barbie videos and how everyone talks about feminism or anti-feminism for that matter. and from a sociological point of view (i missed using this fancy term), it shows how individuals will see/hear exactly what they are looking for - they will see/hear everything that goes along or, on the contrary, what contradicts their own set of beliefs that they had before watching the movie. if someone was looking for feminism, they will look at all the signs for women rights in barbieland being equal to men rights in the real world. or, vice versa, if someone was looking for anti-feminism, they will look at how all male dolls were treated (that includes the kens, allan/s and all the other dolls too as long as they fall into the masculine gender).
but let's break down the feminism definition to prove this point. my archnemesis emile durkheim said that "the totality of beliefs and sentiments common to average members of the same society forms a particular system that has its own life; one might call it the collective or common consciousness". in that sense, beliefs become part of a group (or subgroup) if they are agreed upon by a majority. the term women is too broad, so instead i will use another: individuals who identify with femininity (this is still skewed since it doesn't cover that much ground on all gender identities, but hopefully it's enough to make the point). the rest of the quote in the beginning basically agrees upon all genders having equal rights, power and opportunities in a society. to limit this even further, it means no discrimination whatsoever, regarding any aspect of one's life and activity in a society.
this brings me back to the barbie movie. the movie isn't about matriarchy vs patriarchy. from an empirical point of view (and it was hard to do that bc i adore the actors/actresses and the dolls), the movie can be considered at the very most satirical. barbieland was ruled by matriarchy until the kens overthrown that government. but the barbies did manipulate the situation so that they could take the power again. in the end, the barbies said they will allow some positions for the kens, but definitely not something important, suggesting that they couldn't face it. that isn't feminism. it's not about equal rights. it's exactly what we see in societies. let the minority think they won something when in fact, you don't give them at the very least the bare minimum.
i woke up and chose violence. but this is my hot take on the sociological aspects of the movie. i'm oh so tempted to make an actual paper including the political but that'd mean someone will have to read about 30 pages in word. and i feel sorry for that person already.
under the cut you will find all the faceclaims i intend to use for this barbie ! arguably margot robbie has the most resources , but for the sake of all stereotypical barbies & other muses using margot robbie as faceclaim , i tried to find as many faceclaims as possible , for them interactions .

delia's cosplay when advertising birds of prey
logged back to tell everyone hi barbie ! i plan on getting back real soon , but until then you can also find me over at my goth barbie blog !
she listens carefully, repeating the names a couple times in her mind – despite her desires to become an actress, she's still struggling with remembering words. luckily, she has eddie by her side, which is more than she could've ever asked for. sure, there were many important aspects she should prioritize, but the little family she has made along the way – with individuals she once passed as mere strangers – was far beyond anything else. she offers a nod in response, whilst her eyes focused on a dead point – this phenomena tends to occur quite often lately, it seems – but nonetheless, her gaze flickered back towards him.
" that'd be amazing! " she utters, rims of her pink pout twisting upward, " thank you, eddie. but oh, i could paint you cassettes in return, while you work on the tracks. how's that sound? " she queries, taking one last scan at eddie before immersing into her own world, where ideas flash before her very own eyes – barbie could customize some tapes for eddie, if he agrees to it.
" what was your band's name again? " barbie could swear the name had some objects she could potentially use in her little arts and crafts rendezvous. " corroborate coffee? " tonality reaches a high pitch as her question comes to an end, clearly not confident in her response.
eddie is immediately caught off guard as her arms wrap around him, freezing for a moment before awkwardly returning the embrace && smiling softly, "no problem." a mumble, as he closely watches her reveal the vibrant cassette. && he's gotta admit, it's impressive, even if it's not exactly his color palette of choice. she's made it her own. "shit, that's pretty cool," eyes lighting up as he gently takes the tape, examining the design like it's a piece of art — it is.
"suggestions?? uh — " maybe throwing out iron maiden && motorhead as suggestions can wait for another day. his personal preference in music is set aside as he thinks of artists catered more to barbie's current taste.
"well, if you end up liking madonna, you'll probably like blondie. they're pretty catchy, actually. && i guess there's the bangles too." even when it's not his own style, he's clearly got a sense of enthusiasm discussing music && recommendations for her. "i could make you one of these." the tape is handed back, not before taking one last glance at her design. "like, custom tracks. && you could paint it, y'know with the artistic flair you've got going on."
