I didn’t have Barbies/they stayed in the box/I’m bald

TECHNICALITIES:
tv shows, video games, and history all fall under the first category, as does pop culture (ex., Barbie-as-Taylor-Swift putting on a concert). however, NON-SPECIFIC pop culture (ex., Barbie-as-Generic-Pop-Star putting on a concert) falls under make up stories (mundane)
DESTROY means anything the doll cannot come back from– limbs torn off, burned, etc. and MUST BE CAUSED WITH INTENT. animal damage or leaving them outside DOES NOT COUNT.
likewise, drawing on faces and cutting hair falls under dress up, brush hair (that would be an expression of transformation and creativity, not destruction)
if the barbie was destroyed in the PROCESS of plot recreation, it goes in the first category (ex., Ken-as-Jack-From-Titanic gets thrown in the pool) but if the barbie is destroyed ADJACENT of CANONICALLY DIVERGENT to plot recreation, it goes in the second category (ex., Barbie-as-Princess-Leia gets tortured by Darth Vader, just like in the movie, but this time she gets her head ripped off)
“Fantasy” means anything involving magic, non-historical princesses, nonexistent creatures, and ANY supernatural powers (aliens included)
“Mundane” means anything that a human being would hypothetically be physically capable of (being president, going to space, getting married, etc)
dressing up and brushing hair CAN be involved in the other categories obviously, but if it’s the ONLY thing you did with them, or if you had a doll stand that you actually used, then it falls under dress up, brush hair
anything involving arranging the dolls in geometric patterns, sorting them, etc., and then NOT TOUCHING THEM qualifies as an Arcane Ritual. destruction may be involved, but if the end goal of that destruction is to achieve a certain effect, it falls under Arcane Ritual
ceremonial burials and human sacrifices fall under the category of recreating plots if they have a historical origin (reading about mummies or ritual sacrifice and then putting it to practice with the doll, for example) but if the method of the ritual has no discernible origin or purpose, it falls under Arcane Ritual
My Barbie's were Amazon warriors who went to war with my brother's GI Joes . Not sure where that fits in, they were generally naked with skewers taped to their hand for spears. (I hated getting the outfits on so I just left them off)
[Image description: Two images of a white cartoon dog with black ears and tail. In the first image, they are smiling and says, “Tuesday again?”. In the second image, the dog is winking, sticking their tongue out, and making an “okay” symbol with their paw. They say, “No problem (long ellipsis)” /end image description]
I want you all to imagine with me, if you will, what I witnessed today.
McDonalds parking lot. teenage boy. giant polished white ford Tundra. windows down. blasting. I mean BLASTING. Beethoven's moonlight sonata. boy demolishing burger.
scientists are trying to discover something harder than getting out of bed to go to work in the morning. and dont make a fucking penis joke ok they already checked everyone’s dick and it doesn’t even come close
Realistically I know “let’s all kill ourselves” is just as bad or maybe worse than “im going to kill myself” but in my head it’s like. ok but im establishing a sense of community and proposing a group activity? like are we really going to get mad about that
I am going to acknowledge the Ides of March by saying that it is questionably joyful and whimsical. While killing, murdering, and stabbing are generally not considered joyful and whimsical activities, when it is aimed at a corrupt emperor and also celebrated in a silly fashion, it does start to become a little more joy and whimsy flavored.
