And Ken - Tumblr Posts
Barbie spoilers!
I want to move to Barbieland so bad. I know the movie is about the fact that sorrow and change are unavoidable, and how we have to construct meaning out of a life of betrayal and mini-fridges and visits to the gyno. I know that it’s about the fact that our time is meaningful because it is limited. But I can’t help it: I want to live in a plastic dream house and watch Simu Liu do backflips.

“There’s Fergus everyone! Look at that!” - Jacob Brent in his livestream commentary
(Look, he was so excited when Fergus turned up in the live chat that I could use his little rise in volume there as a quick marker on the wave visualiser thingie when I was transcribing it. Of course he had to make sure to point Fergus’ cat out to us.)

Just drafted this shirt now going to convince my mom to make it for me bc I don’t know how to work the cricket machine 😔
Never thought I’d be simping over Ryan Gosling but here we are 🤷🏽♀️
Sam and Dean Winchester would have cried during the Barbie movie
Cannot forget to mention his character, Holland March, in The Nice Guys. Just terrific work there.
Some of the quotes just....ROFL.
"Sweetheart, how many times have I told you? Don't say "and stuff". Just say "dad, there are whores here".
"So you're telling me you made a porno where the plot is the point?"
And so many more and he just delivers them perfectly.
Ryan Gosling, do your thing.

Ryan Gosling: A Commemoration of Canada's Prodigal Son.
There's no way around it: we love #ryan gosling. He has got what you might call the range. He has got what you might call chops. This man can act, and goodness, do we love his acting. Hunky heartthrob in the rain, child actor, anonymous stunt driver, coked-up stockbroker, old school Hollywood all-singin' all-dancin' struggling jazz pianist, astronaut, replicant, and now, Ken himself. He is a man of many, many talents, and though these times are troubling, we must count ourselves mighty lucky to bear witness to the gift that keeps on giving that is Gosling, Ryan, of London, Ontario, Canada.
We will wish you the very happiest of #ryan goslings this Tuesday, and invite you to join us in our daily countdown until his take on Ken is unleashed on the world next month: with Barbie, (2023).
And if you say no, we're not afraid to beach you off x
Perhaps. I really enjoy both actors: Robie & Gosling, and can't wait to see what they bring to the roles. We *think* we know Barbie but maybe part of it is that Ken is such an unknown? Could also be that people are projecting a 'Kenisitry' between the two lead characters (on camera obvs) because we don't exactly know what Gerwig has planned. I keep cracking up at the 'and Ken' takes because it reminds me of Gosling's character from The Nice Guys telling his daughter, 'Holly' "don't say and stuff."
Isnt it kind of weird that despite being meant to be an accessory to Barbie, tumblr is talking about Ken way more rn. Somehow methinks just a bit of misogyny here
And Stuff. And Ken. You Don't Say...
Took me a minute, but Ryan Gosling's character, Holland March, (from The Nice Guys) telling his daughter,Holly, "and don't say and stuff" and him going on to play 'and Ken' in the Barbie movie is career serendipity at its peak.
If you haven't seen Gosling and Russell Crowe in The Nice Guys, it's worth a look. (Note: adult language, etc)
I KNOW RIGHT?????
Like Ken is going to have it first and for the longest time before anyone confesses, but he’s a hardy boy, he can take it, but it hurts to have to choke on his own love around them. To have to hide how doe-eyed he gets around them. To disappear into bathrooms and quietly cough up thick, blood-covered petals of pink, red, and yellow while hoping that they don’t notice. But he’s a good boy, he can take it, he can wait for them.
Barbie reacts the worse, she picks up chain smoking, hoping to choke of the flowers in her lungs, but it does nothing. The flowers are awful, revealing how attached she is to these fuckers. The blue and red isn’t shocking, but when small yellow petals join the mix she’s close to collapsing from how weak and soft and loving she’s become. She’s wants so so so so badly to confess and have the air in her lungs come back, to stop the spewing of bloody flowers, but she can’t handle the possibility of rejection if not from Ken then from Midge, If not from Midge then from Alan, and lord have mercy if all three abandon her, reject her without a second thought.
Midge hides it the best, she’s the best at easing the flowers out of her throat, at lying about why she won’t be able to go out with her friends on days where the flair up is just terrible. The only person she can’t hide it from is her mother who rubs her back as she sobs quietly over the bathroom sink, as she begs for any solution to this. If she could just trick her body into believing her feelings for them are a lie, but her mother just kisses her forehead, the top of her head, and holds her close. Midge wants so badly to tell the truth about her feelings, to let them know how much she loves them, but what if they don’t believe her? What if they reject her outright because they think she’s lying and it’ll all hurt even more.
Alan, the moment it happens, is hospitalized. He’s a sickly boy, the disease could kill him simply from the stress and he hates himself for letting this disease come into his life. He hates himself even more when he vomits up red, blue, and pink petals into his lap, so bloody and clumped together that he gags at how horrible he is, trapping them to him like this. Ken would accept his feelings out of pity, Midge would lie to him about how she feels about him to ease him, and Barbie, Barbara would degrade him, call him all sorts of names, and reject him. So even if the other two quelled their own flowers, Barbie’s own pink petals would eventually kill him. God, maybe he deserved to die?
Do you guys know about Hanahaki Disease?
Yeah… just having… some thoughts about that…
You know what i gotta say it- og Ken and Allan are peak preppy camp, and i will die by that lol (these are the dolls not the actors- i feel that it pretty obviously not Michael Cera XD)
