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.
for the potential new friends that don't know me nor how i write , you can also find me over on @woednesdayaddams & @muzelor ! i'm currently having brainrot for this barbie but i'm also over there ! and with this , you can see my writing style and everything .
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 ?

describe your character’s relationship with their mother or their father, or both. was it good? bad? were they spoiled rotten, ignored? do they still get along now, or no?
as a doll, barbie doesn’t have a mother or a father, she just has… an owner. it could be a little girl or a little boy, it could be an adult, a collector, even you. do you know where your barbie dolls are currently? in a private verse with @chaoticjoke it’s stated that joker’s the owner and from barbie’s perspective, she’s delighted. it makes sense he would be her owner since he has a dramatic flair and a knack for improvising. that being said, her relationship with her owner, no matter who it is, is all good. even when she’s ignored, tossed aside and forgotten. she deems her human as good and perfect for her. she doesn’t have a moral compass — she knows some stuff, but that doesn’t cover the tip of the iceberg that is humanity (and its fuckedup-ness) — therefore she will accept about anything and believe if someone, especially her owner, says that something is right, even if it’s socially accepted as wrong / deviant, you name it.
as a human, barbie was (and still is) a spoiled brat, dearly loved by her parents. she’s the oldest among five siblings and you guessed it, she loves them too. meanwhile there was no difference in the way the parents treated their children, barbie did always wonder whether or not she was enough. this jealousy plays a huge role in her path towards stardom, which was a way of showing off, or better said, standing out among her siblings. but she didn’t hold grudges with her siblings, it was their parents that she had mixed feelings about. anytime she got off filming, she would visit her siblings and spend quality time with them. to put it in other, simpler words : barbie had a great relationship with both her mother and father, she was spoiled and they still get along. and also, she’s got the oldest child syndrome. it’s important to note that outside barbieworld, she’s a flawed human with obsessions, needs etc.
there's a dreadful sentiment digging at her chest, with metaphorical claws, that is. she wasn't worried about the speed, about the car, not even about herself. she was worried for him. lips pursed into a thin line, huffing through her nose. an intention arises, to rest her hand on his arm, to reassure him other than with words that it's going to be okay, but she doesn't follow through. instead, she just stares at him with her doe eyed crystal gaze, feeling sorry that she can't actually help him. it takes a while before she exhales all the air that she was holding, as she was trying to find the appropriate words to tell him – spoiler alert, none seemed to be kenough.
" dolls make mistakes too. " she wasn't defending anyone, but it was true, " and they hurt too. from my own experience the crocodile tears were first real tears. we – you are allowed to feel emotions. and i can't provide the answers to all those questions. but i know that it's no fun what you're feeling. " her gaze flickers to the road, it seemed awfully quiet, probably because everyone else was attending the party. " where are we going? because i have an idea that might help. "
She steps in, and he's off in an instant, pressing the gas peddle to the floor. The faster they leave, the better he'll feel, as wind whips through their hair, almost drowning out the music and her inquiry. Hands grip the steering wheel, and he keeps his eyes on the road in front of them, tempted to pretend he didn't hear her - but she's perceptive, and he's a mess, it would be foolish to act like everything's okay.
He turns down the music enough so it doesn't shake the car anymore, but provides enough background noise so it isn't awkward.
"I don't know." He's being truthful, looking anywhere but at her reflection in the mirror, "I thought he loved me. Why the hell was he kissing someone else? Why was he kissing Barbie?"
