I didn’t realize it at first, but do you feel like Allan could be a stand in for nonbinary people?
He’s not a Ken, He’s not a Barbie, he’s just Allan He’s the only Allan and he doesn’t really understand it. He moves more like the Barbies do, but he’s not brainwashed by the Kendom. His appearance is similar to the Kens, but he’s not a part of the Kendom. He’s something else, somewhere in the middle.
Also they kinda show Allan not fitting into a gender binary. We see femininity and masculinity represented in Barbie and Ken, both going through the extremes of them. We see this in every Ken and every Barbie, but not Allan. He even works with the Barbies when dismantling the Kendom since it effects him negatively too and he doesn’t like it. Like how the patriarchy also effects non binary people and people outside the gender binary negatively.
You could say he leans masc/is masc and that’s true, but the Kens don’t really seem to accept him or include him as one of them. He has Barbie-like mannerisms but he’s not included with the Barbies ever, he’s not invited to girls nights. He’s just, Allan.
yeah they were flirting in that honda odyssey

I've had this in my files forever because I wanted to do a Kickstarter for standees but hooo boy could not figure out how to do that so anyhow I'll be ordering some of these guys in mid January if you want to message and discuss preorders! They'll be separate standees but there will be a bundle deal for both.
Hello

this sucks
"ken is straight" "ken is bisexual"
ken's sexuality on its own is a dependent variable and therefore cannot be speculated without considering the independent variable: barbie's gender identity. barbie and ken exist in a way where whatever she does, he is in complete support of. if he is a man and barbie is a woman, he is a heterosexual man. if he is a man and barbie too is a man, he is a gay man. if he is a woman and barbie is a woman, he is a lesbian. if he is a woman and barbie is a man, he is a straight woman. any existence of multisexual identities can also exist within this concept, for ken could be bisexual in any of these scenarios. this does not mean his sexuality is inherently fluid, for it is fixated on barbie. if barbie identifies as something other than male or female, ken's sexuality becomes more vague as to accommodate barbie's specific experiences in relation to gender. we, as a society, are trying to hypothesize the effect while neglecting the cause. do better.
8 am time for a chicken and cheese sandwich on white bread!
