MIDGE HADLEY [ PLAYED BY @shesmidge ] : i won't ever ask you for help ever again.
barbie always tries her best, however there are times when it’s not good enough. unfortunately when one strives for perfectionism, one does not grasp the reality. and so it was for barbie, when she had promised midge she’d be there to help her. what she didn’t take into account was that acting until past midnight would have consequences. she hadn’t heard the first alarm that went off. neither the second nor the third. and when she rolled out of bed, time was against her. she didn’t know how she managed to get out of the hotel she was staying at, nor the speed she was driving her car. when she finally reached midge’s house, she was already five hours late. legend has it, she’s still cussing out the traffic inside her head. ❝ hi, i’m sorry i’m late… ❞ she barely uttered as soon as her car door was slammed shut. she approaches midge with her chest seemingly closing in, an anxiety symptom she couldn’t quite grasp, but still she felt. and oh, how hard it clenched on her soul. but it was midge’s words that caused the most pain. lips parted open as she stuttered, not able to verbalize a response. there were plenty of thoughts inside her head going at the speed of light, but none that could emerge in a coherent manner. cerulean hues couldn’t even look at her friend anymore, instead they slowly drifted downward. she was ashamed of looking midge directly in the eye. why did she promise something unachievable? why didn’t she hear the first alarms? why did the universe put her in the middle of traffic? the only one at blame was barbie herself. she put an expectation for her best friend only to let her down. big time. with quivering lips, she managed to further utter, ❝ i know it’s all my fault. i’m sorry. i didn’t mean to keep you waiting this long. i know i promised you something. ❞ the weight on her chest traveled to her throat as she found herself unable to voice anything else. she didn’t want to disappoint anyone, but especially her best friend. midge was everything barbie ever needed back in the days ; and there she was, disappointing midge.
Believe it or not, you're the most important person in your own life. You are who you've woken up to and gone to bed with every day since you were little. You've made your bed and snuggled in it after bad days. You've made yourself treats, just 'cus. You've kept going on bad days, wiped tears off your cheeks and have said "I've got this," before doing things that may be a little nerve wracking. You've tried your best and picked yourself up every time you've stumbled! That's strength. That's amazing and should be celebrated with a sweet and some you time. I know I'm here to celebrate you and your strength as well, friend! Keep that chin up this week. August is trucking along! - ♡♡ Victoria

thank you so much for all of this vic <3 your little messages have a special place in my heart ( and have had for a while now ) you're such a sweet person words cannot properly describe it . i'm glad to have met you & now you're not getting rid of me . i love you 😤💜
Things I wish the Tumblr RP comm would get back to or be comfortable with again because I'm rp old and I've seen how much has changed and man the rp comm is not as fun as it used to be.
Crossovers. Just crossovers where we ignore canon cast and it's okay again to have two different muses from vastly different series interact. Like seriously why do I never see crossovers anymore what happened they were genuinely fun.
Reblogging general aesthetics / musing / music about our muses without 'clogging other people's dashes'. I don't know when it became a general dislike when someone reblogged stuff related to their muse, but for whatever reason it's distasteful now and I don't get why.
When we all were stans for familial / platonic relationships and how deep those went.
Promos being reblogged instead of just liked. Liking doesn't do a thing on tumblr no matter how much they try to make it work. Reblogging gets peoples muses seen.
Interacting with people's ooc posts to show interest or support toward other people's muses.
That small window of time when people were happy to give female muses and ocs a chance.
Also that small window in time when multi-muses weren't as harshly criticized but now we're back to that.
Generally just being far more open and nurturing creativity without worrying.
❝hey, wanna spend the holiday along together?❞ ❝i wasn't really planning on doing anything this year...❞ ❝can't we just get along? just for today?❞ ❝i love you. please come home.❞ ❝fuck your family. let's party like its Y2K.❞ ❝your mom's a bitch, and her mash potatoes are always thick like paste.❞ ❝yeah, my mom kicked me out, but look a white christmas!❞ ❝i just don't want to spend the day alone this year.❞ ❝my family was never big on celebrating.❞ ❝go away, i don't like [holiday]❞ ❝did you really call my dad a cuck and throw a roll at him?❞ ❝i guess i should've known better than to trust you could be civil.❞ ❝please don't leave. you haven't opened your present yet.❞
