Ben's fursona jumpscare

(he knows)

[cielospeaks]

honestly im so weak for the trope of "(original) character does everything they can to save/help/whatever canon character but in spite of that the end result is still the same"

[strictlyquadrilateral]

i made @the-real-seebs watch the first season of ben 10 with me this weekend and i spent the whole time liveblogging her commentary, so with her permission, here is The Experience Of Watching TV With Seebs, featuring spoilers for the first season of ben 10

me: what is it you think you know about ben 10? seebs: there's a guy who turns into a bunch of aliens, and there's 10 of them me: mhm seebs: oh and apparently the gamecube game was pretty fun

seebs: do you ever think about how much easier his life would have been if his parents had named him bineteen?

seebs, re max: this guy has to have a background in dealing with aliens or his behavior makes NO sense me: i don't know why you'd think that

gwen: what are you gonna do about it, tennyson? seebs: one of ten things

seebs, turning to me: so if you're looking for names, may i suggest binety-bine?

seebs: omni...trix? me: yeah, that's what the watch is called seebs: no it's just, if it's -trix then it's a girl watch, like dominatrix

[dr animo shoots the hamster with his mutation device tm] seebs: what i want is for this to happen to an animal and it just gets skinny and hairless and picks up a book. what's it going to do? it's going to develop agriculture

[intermission during which seebs fails to figure out where he knows dee bradley baker's voice from]

seebs: it's incredibly advanced alien technology me: what is? seebs: the watch. because it waits until it's either dramatic or funny to wear off

seebs, looking at ripjaws: that doesn't look like a creature that needs an anglerfish thing, why does it have one? me, firmly: because it looks cool. seebs: ohhhhhhh, that's a good point

seebs, pausing the video: it took me a while. but that is WAY too many satellite dishes for an rv. one is possible at that tech level. but more than three? no.

seebs: why does gwen have the cat? me: on her shirt? seebs: yeah, mae, from that game... me: night in the woods? seebs: yeah!

seebs, muttering to himself: were crescent wrenches common in the 50s?

seebs, during hunted: vilgax would be getting better results if he had only hired one of these guys me: if you had to pick, which one would you hire? seebs, pointing at the still-masked tetrax: probably that one, he seems like the only one focused on the mission

seebs, about a minute later: okay, so i may have made a poor choice in terms of my nominal goals. but he DOES seem to be the most competent

seebs, studying the voice credits: which one is grey matter, and which one is diamondhead? me: seebs. this show is for ten year olds. which one is diamondhead. seebs: the.... purple one? [meaning sixsix]

ben: woah! the freaks are felons! seebs: technically we don't know how much they're stealing, it could still be a misdemeanor. oh, jewelry store. they're felons

seebs, looking at zombozo's crew: these people look so much like batman the animated series villains down on their luck

seebs: wait, go back and go frame by frame, there's writing by his head [we get the image below]

[it seems to be a stray animator note in Korean saying to do whatever with the lightning, visible for like 2 frames a couple times. it is not mentioned in the trivia or errors sections of the episode on the wiki.]

seebs, re hex: somewhere in the world there is the rest of a goth band, just waiting for their frontman to come back : (

[the forever knights appear] seebs: i like that this is clearly just the budget templars

me: they're called the forever knights in every episode but this one seebs, after a pause: not to be confused with forever knight, a canadian tv series about an 800 year old vampire working as a cop me: did you just know that or did you google 'forever knight' on the assumption that there'd be something with that name seebs: the funny thing is, i knew about the show but i didn't remember what it was called. also, i love that you just believed me about the canadian vampire cop show

max: they have plumbing in china, too, you know seebs: his story is getting dumber all the time

seebs: also have you noticed the amount of hardware he has in that vehicle? no one interacts with it but look at all that stuff

[the bug guy from side effects flies off] seebs: unfortunately, he's going to run into his archnemesis: sparrowman

seebs: i used to post on a forum under the name 'ant for hire'. "carrying 25x my own body weight for the highest bidder. please do not slay me because i smell of another hive."

seebs: luckily there are no other insects in the world, so he's powerless now that he's lost his insects [the episode ends] seebs: see?

max: i want to make mount rushmore by nightfall seebs: did you know that in 2005 we didn't know the optimal solution for the traveling salesman problem but we DID know the pessimal solution

max, seeing vilgax: no... it can't be... seebs: is that his old boss?

seebs: i mean, to be fair, aliens have plumbing, too

max, holding a fuckoff huge gun: let's just say I wasn't a normal plumber before I retired seebs: so why are you holding a normal piece of plumbing equipment?

[the rustbucket jumps up to vilgax's ship] me, turning to seebs: do you feel vindicated? seebs: honestly no, this was too obviously coming

[monsterfuckerconfessions]

Inspired by Ben 10 alienfucking anon, but I gotta agree with the basic idea of looking back on childhood favorites and just saying

"...Ooooohhhh...Cool."

I have a lot of similar personal cases.

Some standard ones like Frankie Foster making a generation super horny for tight black dresses and chokers, or Saria giving Zelda fans some hesvy love for the childhood friend thing. The one that sticks out in my head from the same game really hard though...

Zora Princess Ruto

She did some shit to my dumb baby brain that maybe wouldn't be seen on that scale again until Undyne came along and awakened some fish dicks.

I was either 8, 9, or 10 when I played Ocarina of Time. I got on the N64 hypetrain late since I got the SNES console gaming introduction after the later rounder redesign model was out.

Had some fun starts from some classics. Donkey Kong Country 2, Kirby Super Star, Super Mario World/Kart, the usual cool shit.

But later on, when my mom's boyfriend at the time was cool about showing me some SNES and N64 gaming (He ended up being a cheating alcoholic asshole, but I didn't know that yet, so I just took him at face value here)

He'd entertain my silly gawking and plot questions while he played and ended up lending some cool ones he never came back for (which I can't help but spitefully laugh at now) and they were all pretty fun, but obvious hood classic "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" was particularly great and led to some Discoveries(tm) later with Ocarina of Time.

I was super hyped about getting an N64 even if a year or two late to the party. Got some staples of the time that came with it of course. The obligatory classic games, Super Mario 64, Smash Bros., and obviously OoT, some bulky unwieldy third party controllers, some slightly better than the official monstrosity, some worse, and somehow most importantly here, Nintendo Power or Game Informer or whatever paper stuff that had strategy guides with cool pictures and stuff.

Prefacing a bit here: I was a single mom's baby, my dad walked out when my sister was 3 and I was like 0.4, so our house didn't have the dad porn stash to find. There was other stuff, some Victoria's Secret ads, my kinda hot single fifth grade teacher who seemed so weirdly fixated on gushing about how cute I was that it brings up some uncomfortable implications I can't confirm now, but also basic shit like strategy guides, gaming mags, and manuals with neat illustrations.

And somehow with all that, the last option just struck first with sifting through to find tits out post-timeskip fishwife Ruto, and at that point I really couldn't not fuck around and/or find out.

So I felt some things, started the playthrough and got up to Jabu-Jabu's Belly. And hoo boy, I was sexually curious already, but her actual in-game personality just DID things to me.

The tsundere shtick got a little worn out later, but the bitchy spiteful attitude to marriage promise 180 pipeline, the love for blue colored characters that could fill a Bible thick DSM, and her overall character arc just ruined me as a person in a way I find really hot.

Yes, I was into the kid version at the time too, but I was basically the same age as her in-game, don't overthink it.

So if the childhood marriage promise thing hadn't hit hard enough, the Water Temple hit so much harder by the end.

Adult Ruto tits out fish lady fucking hotwired my dormant libido and drove that shit 0 to 150 mph into the sunset. After the infamously confusing dungeon crawl and the disappointingly easy Morpha fight, that sealed it in the Sacred Realm jail hard for me, and unlike Ganon breaking out easy peasy like a Batman villain, I was not going anywhere.

Soon as I figured some stuff out playing in the shower and making up for spacing out in early proto-sex ed talks, it was just gonna happen.

I grabbed the nearest Nintendo Power or manual etc in one hand, my dick in the other and went to town, left for Zora's Domain, and never really left from there, cause I just started jackhammering my dick til it got sore and came whatever buckets I had at the time staring at Big Blue Titty Fish.

Everyone who played it knew the drill and had their personal favorites in the Link brothel. Zelda, Shiek, Saria, Malon (more potent after the older Majora's Mask counterpart), the Cucco lady (same deal with Anju), Darunia for the gay bar crowd probably, Impa, Nabooru, and my obvs by now favorite:

Ruto.

And for a lot of shortcomings and gripes I had with Majora's Mask, I didn't actually mind her getting clothed. I missed the titty out look for a little, but the dress was cute, the Zora band gang was particularly cool and interesting to me, and even though the Great Bay Temple doubled down on the Water Temple's problems, I still enjoyed the third Mask hunt pretty well and thought the band idea was really awesome and probably low-key inspired some of my interests in making music later.

And dressed or not, the fish wife love held really strong.

Saria gave people some weird feelings about The Friend Zone, Cremia gave people some extra love for titty hug motorboats, and Ruto cemented my love of blue girls and fish girls of any cup size, and she all-around gave me some lasting complexes for years to come.

Not for everyone, but my older sister used to watch me play Majora's Mask and comment on how horny she got about Zora mask Link, so it might just be for more people than I thought.

Undyne has some strong dom lesbian appeal that fed some stuff I already had brewing about strong ladies by the time Undertale hit, but for me, the bitchy to lovingly clingy fish wife will hold a special place as my first true furry/scaly/monsterfucking-adjacent experience.

Undyne could suplex me into dust and I'd still be really into that, but Ruto was THE og Blue-coded fictional crush that defined a lot of weird boners for me that can still be felt over half-mast today. (Don't ever ask me about my thoughts on Ranni the Witch, that question is turning the safety off a loaded gun and deepthroating it) (I love her and it's positive, I'm just exaggerating to say how annoying I will inevitably get about it)

Anyway, point is I fucking love clingy fish tsundere and if there was a canon choice for everyone's dumb elf-eared heart, for my heart's canon, that was her.

That was Ruto <3

[bilhert]

I'm neurotypical, but I would like to talk about the Who Was? Show. (no pictures bc i'm too lazy to add them sorry)

It's an edutainment show with six kids playing historical figures and also themselves, alongside an absolute dumbass of a man, Ron. Ron (bless his soul) is so dumb that he almost killed Joan of Arc by attempting to setting her on fire (again) and also keeps mispronouncing Bruce Lee's name as Brucie and also Frida Kahlo tricked him into drinking a habanero smoothie

I think about this show all the time. The historical figures are my most blorbo characters, ever. I love to imagine them in the modern world, and sometimes I get so caught up in certain headcanons that I forget that they're just headcanons. there are some very cool moments that i just gotta tell you. Ben Franklin and Gandhi rapping together about how they're on money? Galileo singing about the fact that everyone in his time was a dumbass?? Marie (Skłodowska-)Curie being in a fast and furious parody??? Julius Caesar taking over the show????

Caesar is probably the best character on the show. Mans nearly killed Bruce lee with a rock with his name on it (don't worry, he was fine), took over the writing of the show and made a god-awful segment, threatened both Monsieur Tidbits and John Oliver with a sword, arrested Bruce lee after he pied him too many times, and got countercoup'd by the cast and also bruce lee.

The lore in this show is also weird as hell. The last episode proves that the historical characters can remember their own deaths, so were they revived? And why do they just have a bunch of unincluded historical figures just chilling in the main hall doing literally nothing? Amelia earhart just disappears at the end of her episode (these are literally dead people, come on at least try to record their whereabouts). there's just an ALIEN in who hq and nobody cares????? Also, cartoons and the real world can and do routinely interact, like how the Explanationator (that BITCH) offers explanations to the cast, the Wright brothers turn into cartoons to sing about flight, Caesar turns into a cartoon to confront Monsieur Tidbits, and other times. Also, monsieur tidbits is a dog, has an ancient egyptian cat as a cousin, is a tour guide at versailles, and knows how to fly a plane.

Another weird thing is that the historical guys aren't very similar to their real world counterparts? Notably many of them don't have the right accents for where they grew up. There are also incongruencies in personality like how Newton is really rude and Caesar is weirdly vindictive and cruel. Of course their appearances are different too, being played by teenagers. The only explanation i can offer is, they aren't really /reviving/ the historical guys, just... transporting them into the kids' bodies?? Which is horrible so I don't think that's true. Alas, though it's fun to look into silly logic, no explanations are needed nor given.

Personally, my headcanon is that there was this machine that could revive them but caesar like. attacked somebody so they locked him in the cave with the machine so he started hating them and also that's why ron is such a dumbass because he got injured by the machine. Why was the machine there? It's Complicated (tm).

Then I headcanon that they have no money and so they all have to live together. And then there are legal shenanigans because no one has been revived before! What the hell! Do we give these people their citizenships back, or what? What about guys like Tutankhamun and Caesar???? Anyway, after all that confusion, they just settle down and try to figure out how the modern world works while also helping historians along the way and getting social media! how fun!

The friendship dynamics between the historical guys are top tier, though I suppose many of them can be lumped into "silly guy, serious guy." But it's really fun to think about them either way. I especially like Susan B. Anthony and Frida Kahlo since susan is usually very stoic and determined but during the segments joke wall segments (where the two characters are together) she gets really silly and lighthearted and i just. they so silly!

Alas, the show got cancelled after one season of thirteen episodes, so I no more lore nor characters can be enjoyed. Even though there was a cliffhanger! >:(

...

i would talk about the who was podcast but i can't find the energy nor the weirdness to talk about it :(

Who Was? Hero Simulator is a game on roblox that is very strange since 1) the storyteller is a fox for no apparent reason 2) apparently they just have the knowledge of many souls, like a hive mind but not really????? 3) a paper in the train station says that history is being erased so we have to go back in time on the astral express at home to collect information on 3 weird-looking historical figures. idk man it's really strange

I'm bored and procrastinating, hit me with your longest hyperfixation rant

•. Peter Parker x Fem!Reader .•

(Warning: No Way Home Spoilers: Angst: Fluff Ending)

(Peter and MJ aren’t in a relationship)

(Summary: In Y/n's universe she lost her Peter, and when she arrives in Peter (TH)'s universe it's as if she seeing a ghost)

(Hinted multiversal relationship at the end)

(Y/n) walked through the portal; taking off her mask once seeing Ned and MJ. “You’re not Peter,” MJ says, holding bread in her hand prepared to throw it.

She shuddered to hear that name again, “No. Peter’s the name of my la-,” She says, then notices the two men dressed in their own Spider-Man suits.

“Wait.” She freezes. Looking at both of them, Ned’s grandma stared at the girl who turned to look at her and waved shyly back.

“Who are you?” Ned asked, and she looked towards him. Clenching the mask in her hands, “My name is Y/n Osborn, and I’m Spider-Man well Spider-Woman in my universe.” She says, looking around the room.

(Y/n) looked down shyly, being in a room with two Peter’s is confusing and also hard for her,. She lost her Peter a year ago in her universe. She’d never forget that awful day.

Swinging onto the rooftops, she along with the other’s landed on the rooftop. Finally meeting this universe Peter, and the moment she laid eyes on him. It’s as if she was seeing a ghost. He looked just like her universes Peter almost an exact carbon copy.

“I'm sorry. About May...” Peter (TM) said, sadly. Looking at the younger Peter.

“Yeah. Sorry. I got some understanding of what it--” Peter (A) says.

“No, no, no, please don't tell me that you know what I'm going through.” Peter (TH) shouted, tears streaming down his cheeks.

“Okay.” Peter (A) said, looking at the young Peter. He just lost his aunt and his life just seemed to fall apart before his eyes.

Peter (TH) looked towards the alternate versions of himself, “She's gone. And it's all my fault. She died for nothing. So I'm gonna do what I should've done in the first place.” Pete (TH) said, reaching for the box.

(Y/n) removes her mask, “Peter—” She says, softly looking at him.

“Please, don't. You don't belong here, either of you, so I'm sending you home.” He says, shaking his head.

“Those other guys are from your worlds, right? So you deal with it. And if they die, if you kill them... That's on you.” He says, and the other versions just looked at him they knew the exact pain he was going through.

“That's not my problem. I don't care anymore. I'm done. I'm really sorry that I dragged you into this, but you have to go home now. Good luck.” He says, looking at them. As he reaches for the spell box, but MJ moves it away from him, wordlessly encouraging Peter to hear out his alternate versions.

“My Uncle Ben was killed. It was my fault.” Peter (TM) confessed.

“I lost... I lost Gwen, my, um... She was my MJ. I couldn't save her. I'm never gonna be able to forgive myself for that.” Peter (A) said as tears brimmed his eyes.

“But I carried on, tried to, um. Tried to keep going, tried to keep being the, uh... That Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, 'cause I know that's what she would've wanted. But at some point, I just-- I stopped pulling my punches. I got rageful. I got bitter. I just don't want you to end up like-- Like me.” He said looking at him.

“I-I lost my Peter….I-I couldn’t protect him when he needed me…” She sniffled, wiping away the tears brimming her eyes.

“I gave up hope. Stopped being well the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Woman. I-I let things happen; things I should’ve stopped but didn’t. I-I became hateful, a-and I made mistakes.” She said, looking doing as she fiddled with the necklace her Peter gave her years ago.

“The night Ben died, I hunted down the man who I thought did it. I wanted him dead... I got what I wanted. It didn't make it better. It took me a long time to... Learn to get through that darkness.” Peter (TM) said.

“I wanna kill him. I wanna tear him apart. I can still hear her voice in my head...” Peter (TH) says, as he briefly breaks down then sighs composing himself.

“Even after she was hurt, she said to me that we did the right thing... She told me that with great power...” He says.

“Comes great responsibility.” Peter (TM) says.

Peter (TH) looks up at Peter (TM, who looks over at both Peter (A), and (Y/n). They both nod at with, teary-eyed.

“Wait, what? How do you know that?” Peter (TH) asked.

"My mom said that," She said, looking at him.

“Uncle Ben said it.” Peter (A) said,

“The day he died. Maybe she didn't die for nothing, Peter.” Peter (TM) said. The three Peter’s share a look, along with (Y/n).

Later that night, in the basement of Midtown High. Peter (TH) lays out the broken devices in front of the two other Peter’s, and (Y/n). Standing around the table the Peter's and (Y/n), talk about how they're going to cure the villains of their universes.

"Okay, so, uh... Connors, Marko, Dillon, and, um..." Peter (TH) said as he tried to explain the plan. "Uh, look, I think that I can repair the devices for Dillon and Marko, but the others..." He says, and Peter (A) looked at him.

Peter (A) wearing a lab coat, "Well, I got Connors, I've already cured him once, so no big deal." Peter (A) says. There was a moment of silence, as the older Peter looked towards him, "What? It's no big deal." He says, again.

"Great." Peter (TM) says, to him.

"Yeah, that's great." Peter (TH) said.

Peter (TM) looked down at the device, "I think I can make an antiserum for Doctor Osborn. I have been thinking about it a long time." Peter (TM) says, and he looks at the younger Peter (TH).

"Gotta cure all of 'em, right?" He asks, and the young Peter looks towards him and nods. "Right." Peter (TH) says.

"Yeah, it's what we do." Peter (TM) said. Then walks off to another corner of the lab leaving the young Peter to contemplate things. (Y/n) on the other hand is staying quiet, having not been around this many people since the passing of her late boyfriend.

Ever since then she's been quiet staying out of the public's eye in her universe. Quitting her job at her father's business. She fiddles with the necklace wrapped around her neck. Looking to her left she noticed, the young Peter's gaze on her, "What?" She asked, looking at him.

"Y-You said lost your Peter." He said. She just nodded looking at him sadly, "Yeah. You look just like him." She said sadly. There was a pregnant pause between them, "H-He was the love of my life. I blame myself for his death." She whispers, staring down at her hands.

"It seems us Spider-people lose the ones we love all the time," She said, looking down.

Ned rolls over behind Peter (TM), "Um... So. Do you have a best friend, too?" Ned asked, looking at the older-looking Peter. "I did." Peter (TM) said, focusing on creating the cure.

"You did?" Ned asked, curiously. "He died in my arms. After he tried to kill me. It was heartbreaking." Peter (TM) said, remembering the death of his friend.

"Yeah..." Ned said, and he sits with that for a few moments before standing and walking over to Peter (TH). "Can you, uh, run a diagnostic?" Peter (TH) asks, looking towards Ned.

"Yeah." Ned nods and presses a key on the laptop, and then quickly walks away. Peter looks after him, confused. (Y/n) flips open the locket; staring down at the picture of her universes Peter.

Peter's (TH) eyes glanced over, seeing the picture. "W-What was he like?" He asked, and she looked over at him and smiled softly, "From what I've seen a lot like you." She said.

"He loved old movies. Back to the Future, Star Wars." She smiled, her finger gently tracing the old picture. "Whenever I wasn't out fighting crime. We'd build the lego, Millenium Falcon." She chuckled softly.

"He was so kind, caring, selfless. He was my entire world, and he's gone because of me." She sighed. Shuddering under her breath, clenching the necklace in her hands. He looked at her sadly, "I haven't even visited his grave." She confessed.

Peter looked down; while fixing the devices. "H-How did you lose him?" He asked, and she looked down, her entire body beginning to shake. Her eyes welled up with tears remembering that fateful day, she lost the love of her life.

"He was killed by my father," She said, wiping away the tears in her eyes. "I'd only had my powers for six months. M-My father didn't like me much he preferred, my brother over me." She said, fiddling with her fingers.

"All because he blames me for our mother's death," She sighed, closing the necklace and looking over towards Peter. "M-My Peter.. Died trying to save my life. Pushing me out of the way of my father's, hoverboard." She stared at her hands, and Peter could only look at her remembering how his Aunt May died, because of the Green Goblin, because of Norman Osborn.

She wiped her nose shaking her head, "S-So seeing you was a shock." She said, wiping away the tears. "I-I'm just so lost without him." She shuddered, her entire body shaking.

"Hey, everything will be okay." He said, trying to calm her down. She looked at him teary-eyed, "He'd be so proud of you right now." He says and places his hand on her cheek. She whimpers softly and looks down tears in her eyes. "You're just like him." She whispers, and he smiles softly.

"I-I'm imagining the two of you. Watching Back to the Future together, and acting like brothers. He would've liked you." She says, to him and he smiles softly. Despite only knowing this Peter for only a few hours, it feels like she's known him for longer. They touch foreheads.

The battle was crazy. But it was finally over and (Y/n), and the other Peter's would be heading back to their universe.

She smiled looking at Peter (TH) who looked at her as well. "I'm glad. I met you." She said, looking at him. "Yeah, me too." He said, looking at her. The realization that she'd have to leave and never see him again. They stared at each other teary-eyed, after having only known each other for only a couple of hours. They've already bonded with each other having learned so much about them. And their different lives in other universes.

"I hope we meet again." She said, looking at him. "Me too," He said, and she chuckled softly. There was a pregnant pause. She then wrapped her arms around him, nuzzling her head into the crook of his neck. "I'm losing you all over again." She mumbled, under her breath. They held onto each other tight not wanting to let each other go.

"I wish I could stay here I have nothing left for me back home. Without nothing feels like home." She said, and he runs his fingers through her hair. "I wish I could stay here," She said, he pulled back and they touch foreheads.

"I'm sure we'll see each other again," He said, and she nodded sadly. She looked down at her hand noticed she was fading away. Her gaze shifted back towards him, looking at him teary-eyed. "I love you." She mouthed, as she faded away. He looked at her and smiled, "I love you too," He said, and she smiled tears streaming down her cheeks as she waved goodbye. Fading away back to her universe.

TMS OCTOBER CHALLENGE 8 - ANGST

I chose to draw something related to when Mark was younger. (Preteen age to be exact) This takes place somewhere between when Leon was announced to Mark and also when Mark began to have feelings for Ben. As you know, that was essentially the point where he progressively began to go downhill in such a way that he could never really recover from. Really though, the idea behind this drawing was to show off younger Mark both wanting/needing comfort in a time that was stressful and confusing for him, but at the same time pushing away the friend who was closest to him because he didn't want to admit to himself that it was anything other than just friendship. Also, I wanted to show that it wasn't just Mark who was having a tough time; This really did hurt Ben too, and it's really what kickstarted his resentment towards Mark.

He'll get you a special chair just for your own personal use, he'll get you some blankets, let you borrow some of his collection of body pillows and merch plushies (the biggest honor one can have bestowed upon them in his opinion), and have a little space for you to chill.

Speaking of the Gremlin Cave TM, the two of you do spend a lot of time gaming and watching shows together in there. He loves sharing his hobbies with his partner, it's just something extremely special to him, and so he loves watching shows just with you or playing games with you. It's something he really treasures.

But, you don't spend all of your time locked up in there. BEN likes going along with you whenever you go out somewhere, and so the two of you get some fresh air out of the mansion quite a lot. Going shopping, to an arcade, out to eat, to the movies- doesn't matter to him, time with you is time well spent.

Something you'll learn quite quickly in your relationship is how to help him with his PTSD and anxiety attacks. His past is a constant pain for him, and you're the medicine that helps him soothe it. He feels safe with you, strong with you. You, who calms him down when he's panicking, you who holds him in the bath when the water gets too scary for him. You're his hero, and he thanks you for it every day.

Back to the more upbeat things!

PET NAMES! But only weird ones! Stinky, Chicken Wing, Chipmunk, Pizza Slice, Ninja Turtle, Duck, Strawberry, Pancake, Bunny, Mouse- The list goes on. He has an infinite list of random things he calls you, and you should absolutely 100% do the same thing right back. It confuses everyone else because you refer to each other as random words.

Dating him also includes sharing lots of food! He has his own personal extra fridge in his room, and he will keep that motherfucker stocked so full of the foods the two of you love. If you're ever over in his room and you get hungry, baby, just pop open the fridge and take something! And also bring a little extra so he can have a few bites too.

One of the best parts about dating BEN- Always being able to constantly fluster him. This man is 28 years old and one of the most powerful and threatening poltergeists in the entirety of the Underworld, but if you blow into his ears or coo a bunch of compliments at him he curls into a big red ball of embarrassment and starts practically whining about it. Turns him into a big ol' baby man. 

Onesies! BEN likes collecting onesies because they're comfortable and cute so why the fuck not, and he gets you a bunch of them too. Expect to spend a few nights in your matching onesies, cuddled up together in his mountains of blankets and pillows doing whatever it is the two of you might get up to.

Statehouse Headcanons

State Headcanons based on city research

Thanks to Ben's city name videos, I have started researching the etymology of different places in the United States. And naturally I've come up with lots of different headcanons based on all of my research.

Pronunciation Headcanons: How some states will pronounce other states names

- Louisiana says "Eye-way" instead of Iowa. [From place Iowa, Louisiana. Which was founded by a bunch of people from the Midwest]

- Kansas says Arkansas's name wrong, but that's on purpose because he's a little bugger.

- Kentucky says "Lee'siana" instead of Louisiana. [This one is just a personal thing. I'm from Kentucky (ok, Ohio-Kentucky hybrid, but I pick Kentucky) and that's just how I sometimes slur Louisiana together.]

- Texas says "Colo-ray-do" instead of Colorado. [Colorado City, Texas. The "Mother City of West Texas"]

- Wisconsin says Arkansas's name correctly, he just spells it "Arkansaw". West Virginia also spells it this way sometimes. [Arkansas, West Virginia (or sometimes Arkansaw) and Arkansaw, Wisconsin.]

- Then Nevada's name... 3 pronunciations (a). Ne-vad-uh = how the state says it (b). Ne-va-duh = the Spanish pronunciation (How I headcanon New Mexico says it. Gov/DC also uses this pronunciation) (c). Ne-vey-duh = The one used by cities in Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Texas, and Arkansas. [Nevada County, Arkansas actually, not a city. And it's named that because it's shape is/was similar to that of the state of Nevada.]

State Names:

- Alaska's name comes from an idiom. So I propose this New York: It's an idiom! Florida: You're an idiom. Alaska: Actually I'm an idiom, he's an unoriginal copy.

- Kentucky named Washington. The original proposed name was "Columbia" for the Columbia River and Columbia District. However a Kentucky representative (Richard H. Stanton) felt that was too similar to the District of Columbia. So the name Washington, after the president, was proposed and obviously accepted. There is still confusion between the city and the state though, so it wasn't really a thought out decision.

- Pennsylvania named Wyoming. The name comes from the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania and is derived from a Munsee word meaning "at the big river flat".

- Wyoming is indifferent towards being named by Pennsylvania. Washington is looking into maybe changing his name, but hasn't said anything aloud to avoid hurting Kentucky's feelings. [Based on the fact that name changes have been proposed to avoid confusion if/when Washington DC becomes a state]

- Florida's name means "Little Flower". He was given the name from the lush greenery and the fact that it was Easter season when Juan Ponce landed. (Pascua Florida).

- There is apparently a state holiday in Florida called Pascua Florida. It's celebrated around April 2nd. Florida, the state personification, absolutely celebrates it. I'm still not 100% sure what festivities entail, but Florida wears a flower crown that day (Orange Blossoms and tickweeds specifically)

- Florida has tried to include some of the other states in his festivities. But given that the holiday falls right around/sometimes on April 1st, they think it's just an April's Fool Prank and don't join.

- In a universe where Georgia and Florida have a father-son relationship, Georgia would call Florida "Little Flower" as a nickname when Florida was younger. He still does occasionally, but not as often anymore.

- There exist a few cities named "California". I'm going to focus on California, Kentucky (totally not because that's my favorite state, what?) The city was set up 1852 and was named California because of the Gold Rush. The occupants would receive lots of news and letters about it. My headcanon: California and Kentucky are pen-pals. In fact, they are pen pals who don’t know that they know each other in real life (which, at this point everybody’s giving them questioning looks bc they’ve been sending letters since the 1840s and it’s the 2000s. Who else would they be sending letters too?) They're just dumbasses. Literally everybody else in the statehouse has figured it out except for these two. Like, the others will watch one of them write the letter and send it. The letter will arrive at the statehouse after a few days and the other one will be reading it in view of the first one After the first few times, even the mailman was like “this letter is just coming back here?? Why should I take it??” But I also headcanon Kentucky with OCD/Autism (totally not projecting here...). He would get upset if the mailman wouldn't take the letter because OCD/Autism Logic TM. So the mailman humors him. Does this mean that Kentucky and California should recognize the return address and stuff? Yes. Do they? Of course not. I will need to do a separate post just for my Kentucky and California headcanons.

Other random things:

- Kentucky just... can not pronounce things. That, or he has his own way of doing it and will not listen to others. Specifically when it comes to French or Spanish based names. There's a lot of cities in Kentucky pronounced differently then their foreign language source. [Louisville, Versailles, Cadiz, Erlanger, etc]

- Kentucky sings under his breath a lot. The three most common songs are "My Old Kentucky Home" [state song], "My Bonnie Lies Over the Sea" [Bonnieville, Kentucky], and "Pastoral Elegy" [Corydon, Kentucky].

- Kentucky supplies Utah with most of beekeeping equipment. [Walter T. Kelly Beekeeping company started in Leitchfield, Kentucky].

- Virginia no longer names anything Fayette anymore. He named a place Fayette County, in honor of Marquis de LaFayette. Then Kentucky became a state and took it. So in 1830, Virginia named another place Fayette County. Then West Virginia became a state and took it. West Virginia and Kentucky have joked that maybe District should change his name to Fayette and he'll get statehood a whole lot sooner and easier.

- Georgia really likes bacon. [Bacon County, Georgia and Baconton, Georgia. Both are technically named for people who's last name was Bacon, but shh]. He will argue with you if you don't like bacon.

- Whenever the BBQ argument pops up between the South, North Carolina likes to point out that his BBQ is the best, he even has a place named Barbecue! The other states are not amused.

- Kentucky is the type of person who gets his paperwork done ahead of time. He's very busy with it. (Not to the point of ruining his sleep schedule though). [Busy, Kentucky. Named because the enterprising citizens were "busy as bees".] (Is it obvious I have a favorite state?)

That’s all I have for now. But I’m going to keep up the research still anyway and may update it with new revelations and thoughts.

[yellowocaballero]

Hi! i enjoy your writing so much. that part where obi wan thought that he did something to make cody was upset and since we're in fox's pov we know that its something that has nothing to do with obi but since obi's a kid he thinks its his fault that this adult he cares about is upset abt something.. Youre really good at writing children. i also loved the small look at siri we got. I wont lie, i got confused while reading abt fox's space dementia but i realize we're supposed to share his lack of memory/bg info, and figure out by ourselves whats going on behind the scenes. I cant really tell if his space dementia brain rot is more from sith mind-control brain magic or from being a fascist but im glad that fox still decides to live in the end. also, cody was so funny in this. Heartwarming! fascist clone dad manipulates politics to bring his son closer to him!

Thank you!!! That story was A Lot, but it was interesting.

Yeah, Obi-Wan's Babie Mode :( and one of the worst parts about being a kid is being so incredibly self-centered you think that everything's about you. He doesn't really understand Cody's feelings, but he wants him to be happy, and gets frustrated when he just can't make somebody he cares about happy. Cody & Obi-Wan's storyline is one metaphorically about cycles of abuse, and it can be tough to be a kid in that situation wondering what you did wrong when your parent can't parent correctly, not knowing that it's due more to their tremendous amount of baggage then it is anything about you. Cody can get a bit secretly smug when A Plan Comes Together, and one of the first things I wrote for the story was the really fantastic mental image of Cody's shit eating grin as Fox realized that Cody just caused THE ENTIRE STORY just for the PETTIEST reason. (That, of course, wasn't very petty at all - the step that Fox didn't know about was that Cody needed Ben on Naboo at that moment so Ben could kill him).

The Siri thing was SO extraneous and I definitely should have deleted it, but I wanted to humanize the jerky Ferrus, compare Jedi vs. clone families, and demonstrate that entering a brain without permission leaves a piece of yourself behind - so, ergo, the Emperor left a lot of himself behind in Fox, and that's what swiss cheesed him.

But that's all excuses because I really wanted to finally write Tahl, Ferrus, and Siri - a family oft-mentioned but never seen! I put more emphasis on Quinlan's family typically, but since OW&Siri's lineages are so close they must have had board game nights. Siri and Tahl died when Obi-Wan just turned 15 as a nod to their early death in canon, and I can only imagine Obi-Wan's reaction was interesting (Sadly, I think he probably made it a point of pride not to care)(Or like, even worse, it genuinely didn't phase him...). We get a lot of Quinlan but not much of her, so I was happy to work her in. I think she was socially awkward and Weird (TM), and she was more OW's friend then friends with the rest of the friend group, and that she was jealous of Quinlan for being so close to OW. She craves violence at all times and is an ace pilot, and also got along better with the clones than other Jedi. She's a lot like Anakin.

Worth noting that without Obi-Wan and with Ahsoka so much older, Ferrus was probably genuinely Anakin's only friend growing up. I changed his pre-O66 personality a bit just for narrative reasons, especially since he should have left the Order and didn't for plot reasons, and the idea of him just being this very mild, friendly, polite, middle manager type, who after O66 becomes comedically badass is very funny to me. He and Fox are genuinely mortal enemies. Fox does not know this.

Re: confusing - yeah, a problem I'm ALWAYS having as a writer is to hit the right level of confusion. I frequently want confusing, but not too confusing. It should be a puzzle that the reader can figure out. It's a hunk of meat frozen in a block of ice for the reader's enrichment. I think I've gotten better at it, but I'm still not great. I do think there's a difference between 'I'm confused because I don't understand what's happening in the plot/the plot's contradictory' and 'I'm confused because I don't know everything that's happening in the story'. The first one is the one I try to avoid! For the second one - sometimes it's very interesting not to have the whole picture.

But - yes, the reader is not meant to have a good idea of what's happening in the story. Only a few things are outright said to Fox, and the reader mostly has to put together the actions of the other characters. Some of it is only really expanded upon or answered in More Than Zero. For example, a lot of the stuff Cody says and does only makes sense when you remember that this entire story he is basically setting up his suicide. Fox doesn't know that. To jump forward, at the end of More Than Zero Cody says that he thinks it failed because he lost conviction - I think part of the reason why he lost conviction was guilt from abandoning Fox, when Fox really needs him right now.

It gives the story a claustrophobic, hazy, confused feeling. It lets us get an idea of how weirdly scary this has to be - 'stay in your room and don't bother us as the galaxy is lowkey collapsing in the background'. People are acting in ways that don't make any sense and he's told not to worry about it. All of the decisions about himself and his future are being made behind his back. Even worse, are being made by Cody, of all people. Who extorted them away from the guy Fox actually gave them to. One throw-away line from Thire becomes the most important in the story - that everybody is split between a bunch of different sides, including Cody: On Cody's Side!, and they all think that they're doing what's best for Fox - but only Mace Windu is on Fox's side.

Finally, what's going on with Fox is definitely not because he's a fascist. It's not a punishment, just a side-effect of Oops All Sith Magic Brainwashing happening to him for so long. He got a little dependent on the numbing effects of the Dark Side in order to deal with waves hands, but we see in the flashbacks how every time he goes Emperor's Mouthpiece mode he can feel his brain frying. Not his fault.

Sorry that got long OTL. A lot was going on in this one. Very little of it was obvious or explained. I REALLY enjoy working with super-limited POV, and the challenge is to give the reader insight into the story through the eyes of someone who doesn't get what's happening. Also why kid POVs are so much fun. Thanks for reading!

I know it’s an Important Plot Device TM but you can’t tell me that it wouldn’t be fucking brutal if Five had never read Vanya’s book. Like, imagine it. 

Five gets back, and he not only has no idea what’s been going on the past forty-odd years, but the thought that’s been sustaining him all this time was to see how his siblings built their lives because the last time he saw them, Five was twelve and they were still full of hope. Did Diego join the police force, did Luther become a research scientist, did Klaus ever achieve his dream of being a fashion designer? Instead, Five finds his siblings struggling to keep their lives together and is utterly broken by it. As the season goes on he’s annoyed, confused, and sad about some things. After spending time with each of his siblings and hearing their stories, Five loses more and more of his hope, until Five is discouraged, only holding himself together, doesn’t believe in the Umbrella Academy, and on the verge of falling to pieces and lashing out.  And he’ll never forget everyone’s faces when he asked why Ben wasn’t there.
