we love a man with a plan
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.
i made a playlist both for entertainment & for musing purposes.
if you watch the videos, tell me, which barbie are you?
You think I am stopping you because I don’t think your capable? You being capable is the problem.”
“You mean more to me than my next breath. there was no ask.”
“Choosing love and war are both honorable choices.”
You are injured. I will murder you if you get up and than bring you back to life to murder you again. I love you.”
“I could fight ghosts themselves and not flinch if only to see you whole.”
“Love doesn’t need reason.”
“Love doesn’t see reason.”
“I’d yell now that we are alive though you clearly don’t listen to me.”
“Are you going to be the one to stop me? because I know what I am going to do, I just need to know who is going to try and stop me.”
“This world needs you far more than me.”
“Regardless of title or standing, I will fight and die for you or at your side.”
Look just because I am capable of protecting you, doesn’t mean you have to need it so much?”
“Wasn’t sure if I should yell at you or kiss you for getting yourself into this?’
“Love means we are a team. if we are going into danger, it is together since I doubt you like the macho role.”
“Of course, walk towards the danger because you have a human shield.”
“I’m not trying to control you. I am trying to keep you safe.”
“No, don’t do that it’s not safe.”
“You’re scared of that, aren’t you?”
“Don’t touch her/him!”
“It’s cute that you tried to protect me and all, but you’re like a foot shorter than me, you know?”
“I will always step in between you and something like that.”
“Why? Because I don’t want you to get hurt, that’s why!”
“Do you think just because my feet don’t touch the bottom of the pool that I need a floatie?”
“The stepping stool is unecessary.”
“I’m not apologizing for what I said to that asshole/jerk… He/she was saying terrible things about you.”
“If you say another word about her/him, you’ll regret it.”
“I don’t want to put you in that type of environment.”
“Make sure to tell me if you get worried, or nervous, or claustrophobic, or-”
“You could have been hurt.”
“I indirected him/her on Twitter for your honor.”
“I think you should leave this type of thing to me.” “I’m gonna protect you.”
“You can hold onto me if you’re scared, you know?”
“I’m not leaving you alone. Not now, not ever.”
“Let’s all watch a different movie. This one freaks her/him out.”
“I get where you’re coming from dude, but honestly shut the hell up and don’t talk about her/him that way.”
“She/He isn’t an object.”
“She/he told me what you did, and all I’m gonna do is tell you to stay away.”
“You don’t know anything about her/him!”
“What? You think that was funny? You just insulter her/him, and expect me to laugh?”
“I’m not gonna let you put up with that.”
“Really, if you told me to I’d go punch them for you.”
“Wait, let me walk you home.”
“I’ll drive you, please– please don’t go like this.”
“It’s dangerous.
“I’m worried about you.”
“I meant it when I said I would protect you.”
“I’m not stepping aside until you back up.”
“It’s too cold for you to come out here without a jacket on.”
“I’ll go see what the noise was.”
“Stay on the phone with me.”
“Promise me you’ll be safe.”
“I don’t feel comfortable with you going there on your own.”
“He/She did what to you?”
“I won’t let you go through something like that again.”
“I’m not perfect, but I’m trying my hardest to do everything to keep you safe.” “Stay behind me.”
“I promised your mom to make sure you didn’t do anything stupid tonight.”
“I love you. Of course I’m gonna defend you like that.”
“No, he/she isn’t good enough to take you out. Trust me, I know.”
“Are you planning to stay glued to my side this whole evening?”
“I’ll be okay, because I know you’re back here ready to step in if I need you.”
“Thank you for always sticking with me.”
“I’m really worried about her/him, but I don’t think he/she wants me to call.”
“I don’t know what I would do if something happened to you.”
“Like, I don’t expect to ever have to take a bullet for you, but I would.”
the previous post explains some of my verses for barbie . as of right now , these are the ones that have been well thought out . more could come in the future , but keep in mind that they will all have the idea(l)s live forever vibe . i loved that in the movie and i think that applies to all dolls , including my own oc barbie the actress ! if you want a small thing ( short para or even one liners ) from barbie , please comment the verse you want her in & the muse you want it for ( in case you have a multi ) . the musing applies for all verses , but i gotta say im the most proud of the vampire lore . it's giving of interview with a vampire but throw the acting there and boom she now lives forever .
as promised , below the cut you can find my lil collection of barbie movies
the order is : barbie as the princess and the pauper ( first row left ) , barbie of swan lake ( first row right ) , barbie in the nutcracker ( 2nd now left ) , barbie as rapunzel ( 2nd row right )
there's also fairytopia stuck in the vhr for almost 2 decades ... if any1 has suggestions as to how to take it out , please do let a girl know ... the vhr doesn't eject automatically & tbh i don't think it works anymore . it does light up , it murmurs in ancient tongues when i press buttons like play / rewind / stop but that's about it .
i remember coming back from elementary school only to hop on pc for barbie horse adventure riding camp . those were the golden days . to this day i am thankful for the family friend that somehow got me this game when he realized letting an 8 year old play counter strike , shooting people and giggling wasn't okay . if any1 else played the game , do ya'll remember the glitch that transported you to another place that was inside this waterfall thing ? my memory may be skewed idk but i really loved that game . hence why it was so funny to me that horses were part of the movie . like hell yeah , horses rule !!!! speaking of this , later on today i will visit my grandma who found my barbie vhs tapes and the vcr . will update this post / reblog with the vhs tapes once i have them . i may also still have my horse toy from barbie , not too sure . can you tell your girl was into patriarchy horses ?
