Fandom: Barbie (2023)

Ryan Gosling's Ken/Simu Liu's Ken

I struggle to put my enthusiasm for this ship into words. The "Beach You Off" scene and them holding hands during "I'm Just Ken" is so damn homoerotic and I just want them to give into that.

Prompts:

• A post-canon view of Ryan's Ken and Simu's Ken trying to find their place in Barbieland without Margot Robbie's Barbie
• Ken finds his place on a horse ranch. I'd pay actual money to see Ken meeting a horse for the first time, since he's only seen pictures and video. Simu Liu's Ken probably doesn't have the same enthusiasm for horses, but I could see him as the supportive boyfriend who is happy that Ryan's Ken is happy.
  
• Where do the Kens go during girls' nights? Do they all just wander until morning? Do they all sleep together on the beach? What do they do??? I have so many world-building questions and no answers.
• For smut, I'm open to basically any interpretation of their physicality. If you want to give them genitalia, go for it. If you don't, I'd love to see them exploring sexuality on their own terms.
