          not messy. but a mess.  [  the blonde specifies, unblinking eyes finally coming to look up at him. ]    as stereotypical barbie, it is quite literally my purpose to perpetuate a harmful and unobtainable stereotype that makes any woman not blonde or perfect feel bad about themselves. i am no role model. my purpose is indefinitely flawed, which makes me the same. there's no bouncing back from this.
          
          /  wait you're so rightttt omg  !!   i agree  <33

          how can i still be  ' barbie '  when i'm a complete. and utter. mess.  [  slowly, barbie rolls over onto her back. the bland tone she speaks in is reflected in the emptiness of her facial expression as she stares upwards at nothing in particular. ]    they don't  ' like '  me. it's all fake. just like barbie.
          
          /  ty for understandingggg, these two are iconic tbh  :')

          [  he has found barbie laying face down, her features smushed against the floor. she doesn't move to acknowledge his presence. her eyes are closed, she speaks in a muffled drawl. ]    this is the lowest i have ever been. mentally. and physically. in my life.
          
          /  this is so late  ..  i apologise deeply  <//3

(  @-andstuff  )      oh. my. gosh. holland  . . .   i thought you'd never ask  !!!   yes  !    :D    although, it's not just a spaceship but don't worry, i'll be there to guide you through it  !   first thing's first, we've gotta find you some rollerblades.
          
          /  sorry for the lateness of this  :')

@-andstuff 
          
          you're welcome, holland.  [  barbie came up behind him, placing her hands on his shoulders and squealing quietly. through the mirror, she inspected him too. nodding enthusiastically, she was more than glad that he had swayed onto her side for this. humans did need more color in their closet. ]   oh  ..  so. many. more. yes  !

@-andstuff 
          
          [  was she about to cry  ?   barbie WAS still getting the hang of all that, but she definitely felt something similar to all the complicated mushy stuff that comes before the salty tears. all of it is washed away in an instant. she perks up like a lightbulb switched on and her frown lifts into an animated grin. ]   yes  !!   i knew you'd come around  !   they're gonna look GREAT on you.  :D

@-andstuff 
          
          hey, that's not  ..  [  barbie dips her head, a frown tugging on the corners of her lips. she sighs softly, shoulders falling into a slump. ]   okay. i guess i won't push you anymore.  :(   it's so easy to convince ken.  :/

@-andstuff 
          
          you do NOT look ridiculous  !!  ugh, you humans are so tied up with how other people think you look. i mean, i kind of understand, but  ..  i'm not gonna judge  !   and how will you know if you don't try  ?   :D

@-andstuff 
          
          you know, i asked the EXACT same question. it's not totally clear, is it  ??   the key is apparently just to not overthink it. so basically  -   yeah, it's just the whole process but in reverse.   [  barbie explains, lifting her hands to make a backwards motion. then, her hands drop as her shoulders rise into a shrug. tilting her head to the side, the blonde's brow furrows at the questioning. is there even an answer to that  ..  ?   it's not something she's ever  . . .   hm. ]     yes.   [  the vague response does absolutely nothing. ]    um. i think it's like  --  both of those  ?   an alternative dimension born from imagination. maybe  ..   we don't tend to think about it too hard. 
          
          /   extremely sorry for how late this is  :')
