It's Barbie, Bitch
Barbie had seen enough.
From the hilltop, the village was cute in that “brochure for people with no imagination” way—whitewashed cottages, little rosebushes. Quaint. Instagrammable. But the moment Barbie strutted into town, she knew something was deeply, terminally off.
Every villager had the same face. Not “siblings,” not “distant cousins.” The same exact cut-and-paste mug, like someone had gone wild with the clone stamp tool in Photoshop and called it a day.
And the outfits? Forget fashion week. Forget thrift store chic. It was the same faded bubblegum tunic on every single body, a shade so tragic it made Pepto-Bismol look like couture.
Barbie stopped dead in the middle of the cobblestone street, sequined gown shimmering like a disco ball of defiance. Rows of identical villagers turned. Their smiles stretched too wide. And then, in unison:
“Lovely evening, isn’t it?”
Barbie’s eyelid twitched. “Oh my gods. This is the uncanny valley Homeowners Association.”
They just blinked. Same timing, same glassy stare. A child toddled out of a doorway—same face, smaller size. Like Funko Pops, but cursed.
“Lovely evening, isn’t it?” the kid chirped.
Barbie laughed, high-pitched and brittle. “No. No it is not, Off-Brand Skipper. And you—” she pointed to the nearest man, “you look like a clearance-rack Ken doll left in the sun too long. And you—” she swiveled to a woman, “Dollar Store Malibu Barbie. Honey, my gown has more personality than this entire block.”
The villagers advanced, still chanting. “Lovely evening, isn’t it?”
Barbie backed up, sequins flashing like armor. “God, you’re like a living TikTok loop. Does anyone here have a single original thought, or are you just factory settings in flesh suits? I’ve seen more individuality in a lineup of IKEA chairs.”
They kept coming. Smiling. Chanting. Creepy teeth glinting in the sunset.
“Okay,” Barbie muttered, “this is officially creepier than that time Ken tried to ‘surprise’ me by shaving his head. Time to bounce.”
She sprinted through the meadow, villagers clomping behind her in eerie, synchronized step, like the world’s most cursed flash mob.
The ground shook. A violet dragon rose from the grass, wings flaring, scales shimmering in iridescent purples and lavenders, dogwood blooms blooming along its flanks like living jewelry. Its eyes glowed with an intelligence these knockoff clones could never fake.
Barbie slapped the dragon’s shoulder. "Let’s burn rubber—well, clouds.”
The dragon bent low. She leapt up, skirts cascading, heels clicking on scales like a runway beat. The villagers broke into a jog, still chanting.
“Lovely evening, isn’t it?”
Barbie leaned down and cupped her hands around her mouth. “Try a new line, you creepy mannequins! Even my Dreamhouse comes with more variety! You look like someone photocopied a potato and gave it legs.”
The dragon vaulted skyward, wings slicing the air. Below, the cookie-cutter homes shrank into a dollhouse nightmare. The chorus of clones faded into the sunset, voices swallowed by the wind.
Barbie threw her head back, hair whipping, laughter sharp and victorious. She stroked the dragon’s neck. “Good job, babe. Honestly, if I’d had to hear one more Stepford reject say ‘lovely evening,’ I would’ve set the whole block on fire with my sheer rage.”
The dragon rumbled like it agreed.
Barbie let out a satisfied sigh. “No clones, no knockoffs, no Dollar Store Barbies. Just me. One of one. And if anyone asks what I’m doing riding into the sunset?”
She smirked, eyes glittering as bright as her gown.
