Weirdbarbie Stories

Here is my personal headcanons for the characters of Barbie post the events of the film.

Barbara Handler befriends a pregnant woman at the obstetrics clinic waiting room, while she waits to be called for her first-ever check-up. She feels remorseful about having ignored her pregnant neigbor Midge and apologizes to her symbolically, talking to a customized Barbie doll dressed up as a pregnant woman. This action causes a reaction in Barbieland, where Midge suddenly starts to feel her baby kicking and Weird Barbie appears to be magically pregnant. Meanwhile, Ken struggles to find himself in a world where there is a glass ceiling for men. Allan finds out about the pregnancy portal and travels through it with Weird Barbie and Midge...and Ken? Will Ken find a way to escape to the Real World and look for his own identity there? What is Barbara learning about adult life and why does Sasha seem more mature than her? Will Gloria, her husband, Mattel personnel or any of their ghosts be of any help and guidance to the characters in their different quests? Let's find out... Sneak peek: "Ken?" "It's Kenneth now" I hope this work honors Greta Gerwig's Barbieverse!

Oneshots for the 2023 Barbie movie that I'm crossposting from AO3.

Weird Barbie gets more than she bargained for when she reunites with her estranged twin sister Musician Barbie, who tells her she had a band who were supposed to play at the glitter ball but can't so she asks her to fill in. Desperate to prove herself to her sister as musical talent, Weird Barbie recruits the citizens of Barbieland to play as a marching band for their plastic world's biggest sporting event yet. What could possibly go wrong? This fic based on Barbie (2023) is inspired by the Spongebob Squarepants episode Band Geeks. Art created via Gencraft.
