from my BG chara's sketchbook, made these as 'assets' for a bigger piece I'm working on with her
GUYS. NEW FIONNA AND CAKE TRAILER.
you (your mind), you (your body), you (the rot that’s growing inside you), and you (the corpse of your twin)
the end of barbie (2023) works so well imo because forcibly waking up to the patriarchy all grown up in a body you don't recognize and realizing it's caused a loss of girlhood innocence is something you need to accept as a fact before you can be a real woman... being an empty plastic doll with no reproductive organs, forever tiptoeing in miniskirts and heels was her comfort zone. She loved being a fake, hyperfeminine toy. But once she realizes it isn't real womanhood, she can never return.
the 5 second shorthand greta uses to communicate this is an almost entirely semiotic & metonymic framing: her birks/blazer outfit, a first toe outside of hyperfemininity, will bore the sexual harassers. and she now needs a gynaecologist for the organs we never imagine could function differently in our 30s. It isn't feminism or female empowerment, it's about womanhood. she's chosen to be a healthy, comfortable, real woman, with a real name, a real mother, and real painful depression because of it. I think that seeing her immediately turn into a happy tomboy at the end would take something away from her discomfort with being a Pinocchio.
finally played pkmn x !! these were my bbs :) their names are goo, pat, gregorio and cali in order!
