The Barbies… and Allan

[ghostiestart]

he's allan!! he's ken's buddy and all his clothes fit him!!!

[samskaterguy]

the fact that a bunch of Allan’s escaped Barbieland and became hit boyband group NSYNC is actually so insane and probably the best thing I have ever heard

a very special shout-out to Allan for existing

You know what i gotta say it- og Ken and Allan are peak preppy camp, and i will die by that lol (these are the dolls not the actors- i feel that it pretty obviously not Michael Cera XD)

This is Ken. His job, which is a common misconception, is not beach. It is compulsory heteronormativity.

Okay so I watched the Barbie movie today and just WOW! There is so much to unpack, every choice felt intentional and it was just altogether wonderful. But one thing I wanted to touch on was Allan and how I think he represented growing up queer, especially for trans & non-binary youth.

Allan was always out of place and uncomfortable in every scene he was in, he didn’t fit in with the Kens or the Barbies, he was just Allan. Allan was the only Allan that existed, he even questions why he’s the only one in his opening scene. Another thing I noticed is that they paralleled a lot of Kens pining for Barbie back onto Allan with his longing glances and attempts to get Kens attention. He also doesn’t fit when the Kens create their whole “Kendom” patriarchy. Even though he should be benefiting from it, he’s not, because even though he’s not Barbie, he’s also not Ken.
