Hello there! I’m Hannah—aka novelmachine or Nova—a regular normal human. Writing is one of my greatest passions and my favorite hobby. There are a few fanfictions floating around the internet from my middle and high school days, but I’ve long since abandoned them and conveniently lost the password to the account that hosted them. I have newer stories in the works that I’m excited to share in the future.

I earned my associate’s in English and am currently not working in that career field. I’m comfortable identifying as bisexual, pansexual, or queer. I have the potential to like anyone, but only if they are radical and tubular. I reblog a ton of posts and occasionally publish original nerd stuff. Mystery, horror, and sci-fi are my big favorites. I’m always open to answering questions or just talking. Thanks for stopping by, gorgeous!

One thing that tickled me about the Barbie movie was how Gloria’s husband is (imo) a ‘Real World’ Ken.

We see very little of him in the movie. In both of his scenes, he’s trying to speak/learn Spanish. He does nothing important or if consequence in terms of the plot… But he’s trying to learn a language his wife and daughter speak. He’s not excelling, I’m not even sure if he’s succeeding. But he is kensistently trying.

For all of the 'Real World’ men who are antagonists or opponents to Barbie, El Esposo de Gloria (as he is listed in the credits) has true Kenergy.

It was so important to have Barbie look at that woman in the bus stop and tell her she’s beautiful. Cause, like Barbie herself says, she (as an idea) doesn’t have an end. As Stereotypical Barbie, she’s meant to be pretty and fun and that’s it.

But she shows that beauty doesn’t end when you get old. Aging isn’t the end of your story, just another phase of it. That old woman is beautiful, and it’s good that she knows it.

That’s why Barbie ultimately chooses to become human. She wants to experience that new and different kind of beauty; not just her physical appearance, but that of a life well lived. She wants scars and wrinkles and cellulite. Barbie’s end is that she lives as a whole narrative rather than some eternal object of visual pleasure.

Also, props to Allan???

He’s a doll most people have never heard of. He got discontinued forever ago cause he was perceived as gay by consumers and they didn’t like that.

But I love that he had an actual role in Barbie. He was very queer coded, yeah, but he didn’t like when all the Kens turned to Patriarchy. He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to abandon Barbieland all together. He knew it was wrong.

And then he helped the Barbies get themselves back. He had a pink jumpsuit and sunglasses and went out all stealthy to get the Barbies in the van. He even voted at the end to keep the constitution the way it was.

Big Allan fan over here.
