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.

hello my foul little beasties, i am taking a (hopefully brief) hiatus to deal with some health & personal issues. in the meantime here are some terrible awful no good wholesome fun facts i've been meaning to share:

*a shriveled claw extends from the barren soil* hello my wretched lovelies, i have once again tunneled my way out of containment! i am returned to you like a long lost lover...like a faithful and persistent fungal infection. you're welcome!

i am delighted to report (in no particular order) that i do NOT have cancer, i have finally gone no contact with my transphobic parents, I am receiving a Good Grade in Therapy (from my nice new therapist), and steady progress has been made on the Big Shiny Mystery Project i will be shoving down your throats circa 2024.

and now let's ease back into our regularly scheduled shitposting with some more super wholesome fun facts!

  • the collective nouns for clowns include "trunkload"
  • at one point in history, billiard balls would occasionally explode during a game. tragically this was discontinued and sports have been going downhill ever since.
  • given the opportunity, butterflies will happily drink spilled blood
  • which is fine and totally less concerning than the fact some spiders nurse their young
  • and whilst we're on the subject of dedicated parents: adult wasps can't eat the food they feed their larvae...because their waists are too small to digest solids
  • last and also least: picture a kangaroo in your head.
  • (go on, picture it. 3D rotate it in your mind. the kangaroo is a Shrinky Dink, a perfect stationary image melting in the centrifugal microwave of your mind's eye...)
  • are you picturing the kangaroo?
  • INCORRECT that is a WALLABY

Gotham believes that Brucie Wayne has no fucking idea what is going on in Gotham on a daily basis. And Bruce loves fucking with them.

Random Gothamite #1: "And Killer Croc almost killed two people-"

Bruce (with broken ribs plus several stitches in his abdomen from Croc's rampage last night): "Killer Croc? Isn't that the character in that new video game?"

Random Gothamite #2: "Did you hear that Penguin's crew blew up a building on Miagani?"

Bruce (exhausted after dealing with Penguin's gang war): "I thought penguins lived in the north pole?"

Random Gothamite #3: "Man, it's crazy how Poison Ivy managed to seduce the mayor with her pollen."

Bruce (still stoned from Ivy's plants): "Seduction? What type of weird poison ivy do you get in Park Row? All I get is a rash..."
