ArtsyAnnieRose asked if I could do this, and it could be interesting so here we go :3

So
I know some people ship Parb (Poppy x Barb)
I don't but I can see why others do it.
But today imma talk about my opinion and what type of relationship Barb has with Poppy and what she thinks of Broppy :3

So, as we know, Barb wanted to get a hold of Poppy cuz she thought that the card she sent were to joke around and be disrespectful to her. She were scared that she would cross her plans to make everyone into rock zombies. I also believe that this invitation to become friends chooked her. I think it is cuz she knows how friendships should be formed, so she thinks it's a joke, and since she doesn't feel like she has many friends she takes this very personally. Her feelings got hurt.
She also commented on the "best friends" part Poppy wrote.
"Maybe we can even be best friends.. BEST FRIENDS!? Is she making fun of me!? You don't just become best friends, it takes years of caring and mutual respect, you don't just become best friends! And you all already know I got tons of friends, like Carol. RIGHT CAROL!? ...Oh I see you're busy, love you Carol-"
She has a good point. But we also see that she feels alone. She describes what type of friendship she wants, cuz right now, she feels a bit alone, she thinks that some people only care for her cuz she is the queen.
"You don't have to be embarassed, I get it. Being queen can be kind of lonely...there's all this pressure of being a great queen....so instead of real friends, you're just surrounded by people who tells you what you want to hear.."
Poor girl 😭
Plus the fact that she opened up to Poppy here, yes. Big step for Barb, cuz idk if she has done that before, since the rock trolls aren't that big of a fan of feelings (as we learned from Val Thundershock).
She thought they had this as a common point and she just let it out to her. But she then tried to shake it off a bit.

So the fact that Poppy proposed the idea of becoming friends through this letter really got to Barb.
She felt lonely, and maybe thought that since Poppy is a queen just like her they might get along in a better way cuz they have the same status.
Since when they first met she were teasing her for wanting to be friends, and continued to do so.
She wanted to be her friend. She was just scared.

"You're turning everyone into rock zombies!?"
"Yup, can't wait to party with you Poppy!"
As she thought she had turned Poppy into a rock zombie she immediatly threw the guitarr to Poppy. She thought she had gotten Poppy over on her side, so she was happy. She thought that this would make them become good friends cuz now they both "like" the same music and Poppy seemingly weren't mad at her anymore. But yeah u know how that turned out.

But as they sang and Poppy encouraged Barb to sing along, she actually started to sing, and became happy and rainbowified :3
Poppy had helpt her see that differences do matter and that they are great. They could all still be in harmony.

And as the song ended and Poppy again proposed the idea of being friends, Barb were so happy and accepted it right away. She also invited Carol and since she got hyped up Barb got even more excited, cuz apparently she likes Carol (yes I ship them shsbskdbd what ship name do we have for Carol x Barb y'all djdbdjsn)

In conclusion
Barb wants to be Poppy's friend.
And they seem to be able to form a super duper friendship

Now
What do I think Barb thinks about Broppy.

So
First time she even saw Branch was when she were about to rockify Poppy with her guitarr but a manual got thrown in her face.
Good move Branchie XD
"Ha! I guesse a giant comprehensive manual DOES come in handy"
This boi be proud of saving his girl and wanna impress her fgccvhjgkjg

Ok so Barb's first reaction was "k they a couple"
Both cuz Branch were stylin and cuz Poppy seemed so happy to see him.
"Awh isn't that puke. Poppy's little boyfriend has come to crash the concert. Too late Branch!"
So ye
She thinks they are a couple, and she continues teasing Poppy after rockifying Branch, by calling him boytoy and making him hold on to Poppy.
So my thought is that she ships them, just like Hickory does.
We can get into Hickory another time, but I just wanna say that I see paralells.
Poppy got a closer bond with Barb
And Branch got a closer bond with Hickory

Also, in the ending scene when Broppy flies away on her bug, she seemed happy. I think she is happy for her friend to have such a good boyfriend X3

So ye :3

I hope this rant was interesting.
I could probably add a lot to it but it is breakfast time so-
