Babs (AU/canon-diverg Barbie) Notes

To compare and contrast my Barbie with Canon.

It's one of those cases where the differences are enough that she's a variant lol. But the same enough that it's not a whole new AU. So here we go.

but uh... summary.

compare/contrast with her canon counterpart

she's a burlesque performer and provocateur artist who has to do side jobs to make ends meet

usually wearing wigs and trying to do herself up so she doesn't feel so down on herself. neuro-diverg who Masks. ( "mask-maxxing"). while Blitz tries to create the family he lost, Babs runs from one. self-sabotage. avoidant, uses humor to escape. Typically not mean. But if pushed, she will SHOVE back with three times the force.

she's down on her luck

in and out of hospital/rehab because of her flimsy mental state. (Not strictly for drugs, though that is the rumor, thanks to people like Verosika. Not your business, V. she does have a history of self harm and bad coping skills.)

if she doesn't take her medication, she spirals and needs to be re-committed. Her symptoms do make her act like a drug addict though so it is easy to frame her that way.

Unhappy Campers

could take or leave events of this episode tbh. But point stands; Babs is avoiding Blitz.

reasons for working at Sloth running medication/drugs from living world to Hell: a side job she needed to make ends meet. Her acting skills meant she could hide among humans well.

her methods were a little different. she didn't manipulate the teen counselor overtly, but charmed him in a more classical way. (Something Blitz would probably point out would lead to the guy asking for sex later, to which Babs would be angry to hear, not wanting to believe she'd be in danger)

personality differences from canon: not as crass/belligerent AT FIRST, usually comes off as polite and even demure at first. However she is theatrical and intense, even bombastic. Bluntly honest, but presents the truth in such a way that most people don't believe her. Coded autistic. Definitely bipolar.

appearance differences: she has a different mark on her head. It is a white heart. It changed at one point in her late teen years during the first time she and Blitz's first long separation. There are huge scars on her back from where wings used to be. (My Blitz has matching scars)

differences in mannerism and voice: a mix of prim/proper, almost has a trans-atlantic accent, that switches out to the same accent Blitz has during her coarser moments. Both eloquently spoken sometimes and acerbically venomous with her words when people push her, she lives up to the barbarous part of her name. She has an extremely sardonic sense of humor despite showing deep empathy. When calm, she speaks softly. Almost difficult to hear. But when she's enthusiastic or projecting, her voice gets raspy and she has a little bit of vocal fry.

interactions with Blitz: Babs doesn't seem to hate her twin. In fact, she seems connected to him spiritually. But she fears being around him for some reason. She has gotten to a point where she is using any method to keep him away. Whether this means she is afraid of him or afraid of her own influence is not clear. It is possibly a delusion and trauma response. Possibly Blitz himself has become a trigger to her.

the fight to save Babs' dealer would not have been as long and violent, as Babs isn't as much of a physical fighter as canon Barbie. But she would have bitten and scratched and insulted. And parting ways would be much uglier and more emotional.

Babs runs away, afraid she and Blitz will hurt one another.

Barbie's Bad Day

Babs losing her job was also an accumulation of mistakes the way canon Barbie had. However, much of the overt sexual nature in some of the actions (like the "offer" to fuck that one guy) wouldn't have been included. (Babs is ace panromantic. As I developed her before canon revealed her actual orientation. All respect to pansexuals.) But the lack of social grace or general awkwardness, and in her case, bluntness would get her in trouble.

Like in canon, she is in touch with Fizz.

Yes, the waterfall takes out her phone.

About Kendra: Okay, I like the idea of Babs having a thing with her roommate/ probably-gf. And I think there's a way that their scene could work. Obvs ace people do date. And being panro, she could be into Kendra if Kendra was into her. I think it's a sweet idea.

Babs doesn't have a substance abuse issue like canon Barbie. So the issue in this case is when she SKIPS her prescription medications. People do this for a variety of reasons. "I'm feeling better and don't need it" "it gives me brain fog" "I don't like the side effects" "It makes me feel numb" etc etc.

In this case Kendra would find that NONE of Barbie's meds had been taken for that month. Babs would try to explain that it made it so that she couldn't concentrate on anything. And Kendra could point out that it might explain why Barbie has been so moody. (Which is always a gut punch for people with mood disorders)

In short; Ken pushes, Babs shoves. They argue and it's bad.

possibly they break up because Babs acts callously towards Kendra pushing her to take her meds. And that's the summary for now. Other notes.

Babs has an emotional support Snail named Sir Thomas.

her style is gothic casual with some glam thrown in. but she is usually broke so she wears what she can when she's not performing. she likes platforms and rhinestone sunglasses. She does dress and look a bit different from canon, but often I'll use the icons from the show for reference. I trust and hope my partners will know the icons aren't exact to what's being described.

she's a multi-instrumentalist and alto when she sings but she can hit soprano notes. her stage shows tend to mock hellion culture

her full name is actually Barbol (not Barbara as people assume). She and Blitz were both called "B" when they were raised as if they were identical twins. And both answered to that name. Sometimes simultaneously. If you want to even begin to unpack the Bucket of Yikes there...

LIKE if you read so I know has the Knowledge about her please! <3

see here for basic angelic lore

family: unknown / ramiel ( biological father )

someone left him on the steps of a church in the middle of a night. no note. no indication whatsoever on the child's history or who to contact. it happened on rare occasion and father matthias didn't even blink twice. his heart, however, was heavy.

they named him cael, provided for him, and schooled him. though he was just a young baby no one who came to see him ever wanted to take cael home. it was as if the child was destined to stay within the church's walls.

at five, cael started talking to nothing and no one at all. imaginary friend, someone would whisper. but he would later learn it wasn't an active imagination but, in fact, the dead. moreover, he learned that the dead was nothing like everyone whispered about. there was an elderly old woman who always came to sit in the same pew during sunday service. she'd wave at him and look as though the choir music was nothing short of bliss. there was also a child cael sometimes saw at a nearby bus stop and he noticed when one particular man was waiting for the bus to arrive, the child lit up like the sun.

that's my daddy, the child whispered once. i'm trying to make sure he's not sad anymore.

at thirteen, cael saw his first vision; a candle falling over just after dinner and starting a small fire in the kitchen. he didn't think anything of it at the time. not until later that evening, just after seven o'clock, when a scream ripped through the dining hall.

at eighteen, after graduating, cael moved out into his own apartment near downtown las vegas. one of the nuns helped him get a job at one of the restaurants on the strip. by the time he was twenty two he'd saved up enough for bartending school.

on the night of his twenty fifth birthday, he ran into the man only known as dumah. cael heard a number of stories from people who used to work at one of the clubs owned by the mysterious man. great pay, great benefits, and someone who would not let their employees get taken advantage of. yet, also strict in what was defined as excellence.

a job was offered right out of the blue. as they say in the movies, it was an offer cael couldn't refuse.

hello && welcome! i’m lark and thank you for visiting.  

         just some quick notes: my blogs tend to be very slow activity.  plotting is always the best way to get something rolling quickly.  it helps give me parameters to work with.  for me, that helps my muse as it gets a lot of questions out of the way.  or, if you prefer, mutuals can always go through my meme tag and send anything in.

         dis.cord is available for mutuals who would like to get ahold of me that way.  it can be the easiest option since i blog hop.  please keep in mind that i can be slow to respond due to work, family, and social obligations.  

if i’m not here you can also find me on one of the below!

about Unhappy Campers

// Anon, I would be happy to answer your question more at length on DM.

However, I don't answer OOC questions over Anon anymore. I find it opens up the inbox to Anon Hate, I apologize.

But I respect the question and thank you for the interest in the topic!

To answer your question briefly though, Yes. Yes I did enjoy that episode and how he acted. Very much so. Even predicted that side of him. He's a very layered character and I think that fans wanting him to only have good traits is extremely limiting.

Their not liking his 'cringe' traits or that he's capable of getting jealous or losing sight of things like everyone else is, in my opinion, extremely limiting. And unfair, too. He's usually the balancing one. And he was also in-character. As someone who also compartmentalizes and sometimes gets 'into character' to cope with stressful situations because I'm neuro-divergent and autistic, I really related to the episode. And I found people's reaction to the episode extremely uh... unintentionally abelist.

Moxxie acted more outwardly autistic as Moxxine. Someone trying to fit in who couldn't. Someone weird and awkward. When what worked for others didn't work for Moxxine, it was painful.

So he switched gears and then for the REST OF THE EPISODE, focused on the mission. People FORGET THAT PART. For most of the week, he was focusing on catching that guy. And Millard was busy with the kids admiring him. So yeah, Moxxie got frustrated.

I do love that, because it shows they aren't perfect.

I think that's great. It shows that they can work through their differences. And when Moxxie was able to ADMIT HE MESSED up that's way braver than what most guys do when they just act like they did nothing wrong and gaslight a chick.

I love Moxxine and I love Unhappy Campers. I thought it was funny.

Also fuck Barbie Wire. She's a groomer. Don't care if 17 is the legal age in that state blah blah blah. That was gross.

The fact that the Fanwiki just erasures Unhappy Campers but gives Verosika a bullshit paragraph about how she "wants to see Blitz" improve is just bogus to me and shows that the fandom can't read between the lines with anything.

Also there's a thing called toxic procrastination. Which I think is what Moxxie was doing in this episode. I think that's when someone makes reaching their own goal harder for themselves. By making this mission more complicated with the disguises and the elaborate plan, it meant he wouldn't succeed. Because success scares him more than failure. C-PTSD is a BITCH. It is actually VERY realistic. And it's extremely realistic that someone who was abused the way Moxxie was would have abandonment issues the way he displayed when he was acting out as Moxxine. So once again. Yes. Yes and yes. I loved Unhappy Campers.

seeing that (ง'̀-'́)ง meme going around

and bc im about to take a nap and not everyone is rb'ing it but a lot of ppl are and i can't scroll to see who has

reminder that if your Muse is Moxxie's friend, it doesn't matter that he is smol

he will still try to punch (or more likely kick) anyone who hurts your Muse to defend them to back off

[moxxietude]

Someone tagged my Moxxie in this in my server lol

They did it for his au form Fausto bc that's where it's most overt.

But I'd argue this is even more relevant for OG and let me tell you why:

It's one thing to speak up against power when you have secret magical backing like Fausto. It's another thing entirely when you're scared and you don't have that secret power to back you up. OG version has to rely on just courage and is only an ordinary imp but still stands up to people regardless. an obvious creep pervo

Not all defiance is loud and punk rock.
