I like Ken. The Barbie movie got me to write again. This is a side-blog. Aroace | 35 | she/her but in a Weird Barbie way. In a Crowley way. In a little frog in a bog way | I do not give permission to repost my works anywhere (reblogs are welcome)
Yee-howdy, I'm Gender Kenvy. Based on the name, you can safely assume my specialty is the Barbie movie and my main squeeze (blorbo? is that what the youths call it these days?) is Ryan Gosling's Ken.
I'm ace and probably aro, too, so I tend to explore that a lot in my writing. My pronouns are *exaggerated shrugging*
I am 35 and rediscovering my love of storytelling after a long drought in writing. (Sorry! I am an internet elder and very, very not hip with the times. But Margot Robbie and I are the same age and that's kinda cool.)
I mostly publish over on Ao3 but have cross-posted a couple of things here.

Just a Girls' Doll in a Man's World
[the one that got me writing again <3 ]
Ao3 Link
Summary: Ken is called to the Real World through a portal to his very own human, except that the problem they're facing is one he caused, himself. Now he's taking classes, trying to learn how to be better and mend the rift. It just so happens he's taking some of the same courses that Barbie is. They figure out how a doll and a human with a half-century relationship behind them can help each other grow as people.
Summary: Barbara Handler finds an abandoned doll on a park bench - except he's not a doll anymore. Ken is homeless, but doesn't seem to mind. As time passes, it's clear that he's hiding something: he keeps going missing, only to pop up again acting strangely, can't hold down a job, and won't stick around in the same place for very long. Barbie is determined to figure him out so he can finally have the life always denied to him as a doll. But he has to let her help him.

Summary: The Ken x El Esposo de Gloria fic you didn't know you needed. Processing a divorce because his best friend is happier with Barbie, Owen is left treading water, lost. He's happy for them, truly. No hate. But who even is he, anymore? Thankfully, ducklings float - and one is heading right for him.

actually the way society hates both perverts and asexuals is kinda funny. Real "Anyone who thinks about sex more than I do is a porn-addicted degenerate and anyone who thinks about sex less than I do is a loser weirdo or a puritan" energy
@aroace-ryland-grace your request for Ryan Gosling photos a couple days ago was what prompted me to make this (causing me to learn a new skill in the process). Thank you. This is all your fault (positive)
