Barbie was about motherhood and belonging and feminism and love and identity and toxic masculinity and existentialism and humanism and it was, most importantly, pink.
One thing I appreciate about Barbie was the emphasis on age.
I was emotional when Barbie told the old woman how beautiful she was, and when Ruth came in and helped her become human.
It was also the fact that America Ferrera was the one having the crisis that caused Barbie to do the same.
The whole concept of the toy doesn’t end in childhood. Cause she is an idea; Barbie is forever. She’s everything. She’s meant to inspire women to keep going for what they dream. You don’t age out of these ideas, they grow with you, just like how Margot Robbie grew with America Ferrera.
girl i know i love old boats and they got into accidents all the time and i wouldnt exactly regard an ocean liner as a not horrifying mode of transport but i just remembered we used to have those fucking balloon airships. i dont like planes myself but thank god we started making air transport out of shit that wasnt 100% flammable

Streamer who says “And now just a little break for an ad read, sorry guys, brb” and then they just pull out a newspaper and silently read some of the ads while scowling because they don’t enjoy this, occasionally muttering “That’s not even a good deal” and then calmly folds it back up and starts playing again.
