[asmoteeth]

*crawls out of a hole* What are your opinion on fangs and claws? I admit, I'm in love with traits in bots that more often than not are proper of cons, such as fangs/sharp dentas and claws. Dear boyo Wedge may be an excon, but I doubt those traits would give him right away, so he could have keep them/hide them. Soooooo, my point is: Wedge with fangs and claws = Hotshot simpmeter going so high it spans the entire galaxy thrice, end of the ted talk *crawls back into the hole*

I love fangs and claws!!! they're awesome!!! I even made a RBA headcanon where I literally just gave the recruits kitty and puppy teeth

I made this little comic about what you said, I like to imagine Wedge has the sharpests fangs along with Hoist mostly because of their alt-modes being pretty sturdy and strong in terms of capabilities! So here's our little speedster reaction to them :3

Name: Ben.

Nickname(s): Occasionally, a friend, a foe, or a love interest will call him Benji or Benny. Obviously, all Bens are united in their hatred of this.

Relationship Status: Verse dependent. Modern!Ben's articulated the words 'I love you' to but one other.

Gender: Cis male.

Romantic Orientation: Exploring or unsure.

Preferred Pet Names: Music!Ben will call you 'baby' if he hates you.

Opinion on True Love: All Bens believe true love exists... but maybe not for hims.

Opinion on Love at First Sight: Music!Ben thinks he's fallen in love at first sight many, many times. Modern!Ben is somehow more suspicious. Ex!Con Ben has never looked another person in the eye (Jk, he's not a believer) and Smuggler!Ben...

How ‘Romantic’ Are They?: He's unpracticed, not unromantic.

Edited for E.: Music!Ben can charm the pants off anyone but I still don’t think that makes him a ‘romantic.’

Ideal Physical Traits: This one is tricky because mun struggles to understand what makes one physical trait more desirable than another :') but we shall try.

Based on copious evidence, mun believes Bens generally prefer longer hair for [women/femmes], short to medium curls for [men/mascs], notable thighs (strong, long, or thick), or other limbs and extremities (Smuggler!Ben). Striking eyes, chest hair for [men/mascs], a nice smile, a brazen or unique laugh (for Music!Ben especially, laughter is physical). Scars and other proof of life.

Because he's 6'4", he prefers his partners tall, but because he's 6'4", he invariably accepts smol.

Ideal Personality Traits: If he likes you, be yourself. All of yourself, preferably, because he's greedy.

All Bens find humility attractive in a person. Music!Ben covets meanness and whatever he interprets as power today. Let's not think about tomorrow.

Unattractive Physical Traits: We're struggling again, and that's okay.

Redubbing this part 'least desired observable characteristics.'

Shaved or bleached brows, dreads on heads where they don't belong, notable cosmetic alterations (Music!Ben specific), literal body language (Smuggler!Ben specific), worm physique (Smuggler!Ben specific), problem skin.

Unfortunately, Music!Ben can veer on fat-phobic (he's certainly weight-conscious himself) and Modern!Ben thinks women should shave their legs for him or something ridiculous like that. Not that he'd ever say it. (Dirty fingernails are fine by him, though. The more, the merrier.)

Unattractive Personality Traits: ☝️ Do not lie to him.

Ideal Date: bullets? Bullets.

Modern!Ben: movie/museum and dinner, in that order, because post-movie/museum-going conversations reveal much about a person.

Music!Ben: goes from 1 to 111. He's not dating you; he met you someplace awful and will never leave you alone again. Hint: He's never the dumper, always the dumped.

Ex-Con!Ben: Somewhere quiet, outdoors, away from the public eye. Said date must make it clear to Ben that he's on a date, or else he'll be utterly lost.

Smuggler!Ben: kidnapped Poe Dameron once—and it was awesome.

Do They Have a Type?: Bens are often attracted to sensitive, mysterious persons... or people who 'yell' at hims (Music!Ben, Smuggler!Ben).

Average Relationship Length: Six inches. One to two years.

Preferred Non-Sexual Intimacy: Smush-

Commitment Level: Fluctuates. Bens are serious about those they care for, but.

Ah, the various buts.

Opinion of Public Affection:

Modern!Ben: Outlook good/You may rely on it.

Music!Ben: Don't count on it/My sources say no.

Ex-Con!Ben: ???/Ask again later.

Smuggler!Ben: *loudly in the cantina* —we're NOT married?!

Past Relationships?:

Modern!Ben: Has entered two serious relationships. The first was young and short-lived. The second ended in California. She cheated on him, and he has never recovered.

Music!Ben: Sadly. And before then, a fling with Rey, which he fucked up beautifully. And before, after, and somewhere in between, a thing with Armitage (verse dependent). It wasn't a romance, but it was certainly something.

Ex-Con!Ben: Nope.

Smuggler!Ben: Verse dependent but primarily occupied with and committed to Not Dying Between Now and Centaxday.

Does your muse have the same star sign in each of your verses? Does your muse care about astrology in any of them?

{ mystery flavored meme from the great beyond }

The Bens are Scorpios. It’s somewhere in my modern/mundane verse pages that have never been required reading and need an update. We digress.

The Bens are Scorpios. Geographical location and the position of celestial bodies at the time of birth determine the nuances between Bens. They each have a different natal/birth chart as such.

Modern!Ben was born in New York, New York, in the late afternoon, under the muted energies of the waning crescent. He has a Gemini ascendant and a Libra moon. I would imagine he has a trine somewhere in his chart that's made various areas in his life smooth and easy and some Yikes positions in his fourth house, the house of home, family, roots, and emotional foundation as well as some tension in the eighth house, the house of transformation and intimacy.

The very idea of astrology curdles his blood. And he has loads of ideas and inner chatter about this and just about anything, because, elementally, he’s ten parts air and a drop of water.

Ex-Con!Ben was born in a fictional Tacoma, Washington in the wee hours of the night and under the full moon phase. He’s a Taurus rising with a Capricorn moon. In his chart, Saturn squares Uranus. He has no planets in the third house. He doesn’t care to know what it means. Astrology’s not on his to-do list, and that’s how it’s gonna stay. 🙅🏻‍♂️

Music!Ben was born in [REDACTED] at an inconvenient time, like 4:59 AM, under a half-moon phase. He’s got a very fiery “stick my whole fist in my mouth” Sagittarius ascendant in the 1-2nd degree and an equally fiery “if you don’t look at me I’ll die” Leo moon in the 16th degree. It's like this: the lower the degree, the higher the influence. He presents as the tower of Babylon. His Scorpio in Mercury makes him an empath. Just kidding, it makes him "the interrogator.” Unfortunately, knowing your astrology isn't going to help you when you need to put out a fire. (:/// that’s my secret, [Cap]: I badger celebrity astrologers about my future and then ignore their advice.)

Murder!Kylo is likely a double Scorpio. He has a promontory of a Scorpio ascendant, making him Plutonian, perhaps an agent of transformation, death, rebirth, and a deep Pisces moon. I’m sure he was born in complete darkness somewhere in Spooky Ooky Massachusetts, which serves as no excuse for his actions.

I’m sure he was born to parents who loved him.

{Ex-Con!Ben at a glance}

Note on locale:

In this verse, Ben Prestor Solo is born and raised in the town of North Wetyin, Yavin, a fictional American county in Washington State (near Florence, Snohomish County, Washington, and neighboring areas). 

Around the time Ben joined the cult, the First Order's chapters spanned the fictional prefectures of Yavin, Washington, {Takodana}, Oregon, and Canto Bight, California. 

Timeline:  

Age 16

 -Left home for the "farm collective" with First Order missionary Phasma. 

Ages 16-18

-Indoctrinated by various active members and assimilated into the cult. 

-Became one of cult leader Snoke's favorites. 

Age 18-19

 -Aided Snoke's most trusted confederates in carrying out brutal physical punishments, a few of which Ben himself suffered. 

Age 19

 -Shot his father by coercion.

-Murdered the girl known as 'Rey,' who confronted the First Order at their Yavin property and threatened to go to the authorities with what she knew—unprovoked. 

-Arrested upon the dissolution of the First Order Yavin chapter. ('Rey' is traced by Federal Republic authorities two weeks after her disappearance. People cared.) 

Ages 19-29

-Dontamo Prison. 

Age 29

-Granted parole for 'outstanding' behavior. 

Age 30

-Early release.

[kylo-wrecked]

19. how many serious relationships has your muse been in? are they experienced or inexperienced when it comes to dating? SPILL THE TEA ON ALL THE GUYS

{ 🍵 You know you want: ALL THE GUYS }

*all muses are multiship. mentioning a few of youses muses cos i feel it's important.

🫗 music!ben 

He is experienced, and he enjoys new experiences, sensual/sexual encounters included. However, as you can imagine, Music!Ben bores easily, and as a jumper, tends to keep a few sex partners at once. Music!Ben really doesn’t like to be alone. (* Unlike the other Bens, he is most comfortable surrounded by people, and things, and noise. The ‘biz’ is his war zone. *) Thankfully, he’s responsible about the physical aspects of sexual health, but he doesn’t like his partners knowing about each other and won’t tell one partner whether or not or who else he’s seeing unless directly asked. 

That’s the thing, too. A lot of his dates wind up being sex. If not sex dates, drink dates. Maybe dinner dates, maybe something completely random. Oddly, he won’t usually take his dates to shows. Going to shows is a serious enterprise and he doesn’t need someone hanging on his arm when he’s stalking Beck. (Who he hates.) 

Serious relationships? Three, and at least two were genuine and reciprocal. One with a Scandinavian avant-garde artist named Susanoo, one with indie folk singer Rey, and one with none of your fucking business. 

He’s deeply committed, maybe too much so. He can spin into obsession, he can be possessive. He never cheats. 

☕️ modern!ben 

Never cheats. Having his heart shattered in California was a learning experience. He left an attempt at a life with another human being in San Fransisco, or at least within a few dozen miles of San Fransisco. That makes one serious relationship, ended. 

Apart from that, there was an attempt. He fancied one of his childhood friends, Marciela Hodgson, who rejected him with a little laugh. Modern!Ben has never recovered from this. He should probably stop being friends with Marci. 

In other threads, in other futures, he’s involved with his best friend Beth in what mun and muse believe to be quite a serious relationship. In another world, with Brunnhilde, who even follows him across oceans. In another, he’s reconnected with the childhood crush, Shiloh, and in yet another, he’s just slept with his friend Rashad, and he’s confronting his interest in exploring sexual intimacy with men. 

Many of his partners/subjects of affection are friends first, which must mean he’s good at finding fun and interesting things to do around cities, or, or that he’s somewhat tolerable, and they’re awfully patient.

🍺 ex-con!ben 

Nope. 

All right, well. He’s committed to someone named Beth. That’s one world, one dream. Then he. Well, he might have taken a shining to a guy named Tony, but that’s not… 

He doesn’t know a lot of people.

So. So, no. 

🧊 smuggler!ben

Can’t answer his comm right now. He’s left a note. 

It’s practically illegible. It may say,

“Trapped in sham marriage with the Inujan Queen send help.” 

Or it may say, 

(He doesn't know any Tynnans)

“No time to explain!” 

🍷 ren

Lifelong sacrament to the Ren doesn’t typically include dating.

[kylo-wrecked]

{ one could argue this of people at large, but Ben is a study in cis man. }

[kylo-wrecked]

the Bens's sleep styles 💅 - e.

the Senator's Son

Three things, very simple:

Blanket thief.

Use you as body pillow unless you get him body pillow. (You may want to invest in one, depending on your size).

Facedown smush on any soft surface. Goodbye, oxygen. Only sleep now.

the Hot Mess Frontman

Turn him over. Turn him over now! Don't let him fall asleep on his back or sitting up with his skull and neck in retrograde unless you want to be the one who calls the bus in the AM. You don't even have to touch him, you can use a broom handle. Once turned, you can simply leave him there.

He can and will fall asleep anywhere. In a small tour bus bumping along a steep cliffside roadway from Bursa to Istanbul, where everyone is vomiting in bags? He's sleeping. Hair and makeup chair? He's sleeping. On a slab of artful concrete in a city park somewhere, during a photoshoot? He's not posing, he's asleep. Basically, if he stops for 'one second,' he will fall asleep.

Cars are among one of his most favorite places to sleep. Backseat sleeper.

He’s also an active sleeper. He doesn't toss and turn; he's not a somnambulist, but his eyes always seem to be half-open, and if you infiltrate his field of vision, he might say, "Hey!" in a horrifyingly friendly way. Like a parrot. Only, he's actually asleep.

(That's how my brother sleeps lmao^. Ever since we were kids. Bro your eyes are dry cos you sleep with them OPEN. I love him but he’s a pod person.)

the Ex-Con

Probably don't touch him, if you know he doesn't trust you (you'll know), and if you can help it. He's a light sleeper, ready to throw hands at a moment's notice. He sleeps in a variety of defensive postures—stomach sleeping mostly, to protect his front ribs, stomach, chest, lungs, and throat, and so on. Due to prior…incidents.

Corrections officers ‘jokingly’ called him “Chief Faces Walls,” as he would often, and often still will, press his entire front body into a wall (with arms braced to his chest) if his bedding is close enough.

He can’t sleep with the lights on after ten years of merciless fluorescents; whether he was in the hole or under a stairwell due to overcrowding, it was lights on 24/7 at Dontamo.

If he doesn't use thick, blackout curtains, he'll bolt in shutters. (Shutters are a generous term. They’re not decorative. They’re for “if the house looks condemned they’ll go away.” )

the Dice Killer

Don't fall asleep first. He’ll want to examine your eyes.

[kylo-wrecked]

I accidentally deleted the ask/s, lol 🤦 but various frens wanted to know some things… and here are those things:

Ex-Con!Ben differs from the other modern verse Bens in these ‘key ways’—

Asbestos hands 

Dissociative episodes

Dog 

Not in touch with Mom, though she might have tried 

He drives. He earned that. The other ones have to do their time, whatever that looks like, before they get their driving privileges back (timeline dependent)

Murder!Kylo drives, too. He lives straight outta the van. 

Driving is an important thematic element on this blog because… grasping symbolism? Beep beep, Richie. 

Music!Ben—

His is the story of Bendemption if Ben survived into just being kind of an angry jerk anyway. 

I've mentioned this before, but he's the one Ben who doesn't wear what I like to call 'the Ben Mask' as a friendly, if standoffish, buffer between people/who Ben feels he should be/who he is. Music!Ben moves very fluidly between these categories. He is who he feels he should be. More or less. Is he genuine? Never you mind.

But yes, he does feel encumbered by the Kylo Ren persona and KoR, which is why he loathes being called Kylo after he 'leaves' the band. At the same time, he loathes the musician who replaced him because HE CAN'T BE REPLACED. 

And that's more or less true. For the most part, nobody has listened to KoR since the original members fell out. They're not getting or recording hits. I imagine diehard KoR fans are band purists and a little like Star Wars fans.

I also like to think KoR has a lot of casual listeners who enjoy a few songs but never follow the lore or drama and don't realize Kylo and Ben are the same person. 

Like when Green Day… this is not a sound comparison or a good one, and KoR don't make music like GD’s, please G-d 😂, no offense… this is a ramble… but when Green Day put out an album as 'the Network' ( 'secret' side project* ) and somehow managed to pull the wool over many many eyeballs… although they pretty much sound like... Green Day… it went a little better for Ben. 

I also, too, as well, like to think that whenever the question, "What music artists/bands pulled a complete 180 during their careers?" is put to forums, KoR is usually one of the top answers, and posters get annoyed about it. 

Like, Radiohead… *audience groans* 

__

*I love love love that Green Day/Network thinks 'Money Money 2020' was predictive in a meaningful way. 

"Members of Green Day have denied being involved in the Network."

Guys. 

[kylo-wrecked]

19. how many serious relationships has your muse been in? are they experienced or inexperienced when it comes to dating? {Ex!Ben}

{ 🫀 You broke and bought: Ex-Con!Ben, The Drifter }

None.

In our verse, besides Beth? None.

He had serious relationships in prison, but they weren't romantic. Sometimes, they weren't platonic either. They were peripheral, ephemeral. Connections struck in silent labor. Made in lying awake on their cots for hours staring at walls, listening to every sound God gave the human body to make trapped in plastered brick and iron. The only things to roam free were their voices. Cellies calling good night to each other to hear freedom echoing at them. Ben never called out.

He has yet to gain experience when it comes to dating. Generally speaking, he's not preoccupied about his lack because he thinks he's better off alone.

... with Beth? Beth. Well, he doesn't have to worry about all that with Beth, either. His sole concern is that she'll leave—not Mos Espa, him. She leaves, no amount of dating experience will bring her back.

@brooklynislandgirl

[kylo-wrecked]

Favourite position (for each verse)?

*Marches in* First things first. Kylo Ren is not actively getting laid. I may have implied that Dark!Ren’s celibate—or should be—or is most of the time. Yes, though in some timelines/verses he’s basically transcended the body, that includes the carnals, I’m afraid. His only object of desire is achieving 'greater understanding.’ That’s what power looks like to Dark!Ren, and it’s ‘power’ that attracts him. Getting laid isn’t on the agenda. Mind touching is like fucking to Dark!Ren. And if Soft!Ren ever gets laid in-story, then he is one Lucky Duck indeed. 

Look at image A. *Points to SUDDENLY IMAGE A with SUDDENLY A RULER.* Picture it: a consensual quickie with the Master of The Knights of Ren in the cantina alley, your cheek shoved to the damp brick while he works at you. Who are you to Ren? Plucky on-call mechanic? The innkeeper? Just a stranger passing through? And what comes off within that timeframe? His gloves? His armor? His helm? Surely not. But then, this is all improbable. Unlikely. 

Mun thinks of sex as, like, being this Real Physical Thing that occurs between bodies, even in Star Wars. It’s a delicious exchange of ~human~ gush and, often, awkwardness and sometimes extreme physical discomfort. I think Soft!Ren is lucky if he gets his pants undone in time. I think he has to take everything off to have a Real Solid Fuck.

Has Ren ever enjoyed secret-up-the-alley-wall sex? Doubtful, but not impossible. We’re all young once. Even in Star Wars. 

Stop looking. *Folds up ruler.* 

In our world, *Clicks through SUDDENLY A KODAK CAROUSEL* he takes what he’s given, more or less. 

As you can see, *pauses slide* Modern!Ben thinks he’s vanilla. Here he is, missionary, on top, still wearing a shirt. *Clicks* And here, shower sex. Squeaky clean. His arms never get tired. *Gestures at image* See how he has to hold a vagina sex partner up to get their bodies aligned? Shower sex has only worked once. Height discrepancy? Or excuses? 

He fails here. *clicks* Here. *clicks, clicks, clicks, clicks* Evidence of how shower sex invariably becomes after-shower-bed-sex, often missionary style, because he’s big, and his bigness often hurts vagina sex partners. So he keeps sex banal out of courtesy, and he thinks he’s innocent. Boo-hoo. *Clicks* Modern!Ben choking a sex partner. *Clicks* Modern!Ben pulling a sex partner’s hair. *Clicks* Splat on the dining room table. Who even is this person? *Clicks* 

Ladies and gentlefrens of my 3.5 person jury—we call bullshit. 

*Clicks* Now this one, the Ex!Con. He really is innocent. *Clicks* That’s his mugshot. *Clicks* Here. Ex!Con Ben, at eighteen years of age (he’s really sixteen), losing his virginity to Voe (who really is eighteen). Flat on his back, his pale, underdeveloped muscles twitching, the scruff of pubic hair. Look at him, he doesn’t even know what’s happening. He’s all eyes all over the ceiling. 

*Clicks carousel slide off* 

Ex!Con Ben likes to be close. He wants you in his lap, facing him, or the back of your neck, the animal musk of you, in his nostrils. He wants to feel your mouth and breath on him, like rain and air. He’s good at feeling his way around the spaces that bring you pleasure, and he doesn’t mind if you use him so long as he gets to hear you come. 

We don’t have time for Music!Ben right now.

Finally, I think, like Ren, Smuggler!Ben must be a fan of the clandestine fuck. Actually, before we go, Smuggler!Ben wants me to tell you his favorite position is... *Listens.* 'Not getting hit in the face.'

What is your OCs fatal flaw? Are they aware of this flaw? For Ex-Con Ben

{ 🫀 You broke and bought: Ex-Con Ben }

Look, he had every intention of starting fresh, leading some new kind of life, but by the time he got to Nevada… 

Before he knew it, his home became a workspace. Shop became a warehouse.

And by the time he settled in Mos Espa… 

He realized the townspeople were just inmates, too. 

{His resistance to change is Ex-Con Ben’s stubbornness at its most catastrophic. He has difficulty accepting new ideas, including, it seems, the idea that he’s allowed to forgive himself. He can move on. Someone wave a muleta at him and see if that gets him moving.

As for whether he’s aware? He’s learning. He knows on some level. Mun believes he can beat the vicious cycle of self-loathing.} 

@ifyoucatchacriminal

{This image makes me think of him, lol. (Not that he would ever vandalize a billboard.)}

[kylo-wrecked]

What is/are your muse's love language(s)?

{ 🎁 And for you: the bevy }

Ex-Con!Ben—

Quality Time (™) 37%/Acts of Service (™) 33% 

This doesn’t typically include conversation. Mun would argue, on his behalf, that scoring 10% or less on Words of Affirmation/Physical Touch doesn’t mean he doesn’t want/need to interact with those expressions but that he’s Deeply Unfamiliar with them. (He can hold a conversation just fine. It’s just he’d usually rather not. Conversations tend to be confrontational, and he doesn’t want any of that either.) 

Modern!Ben—

Quality Time 32% (™) /Words of Affirmation 29% (™) 

Is it full of untruths and contradictions? It's Ben.

Music!Ben—

Words of Affirmation(™), 33% Quality Time (™)/Acts of Service (™) 23% 

Music!Ben clearly recognizes that spending any time with him is also an act of service. That’s a good(?) sign. Competing against or collaborating with other artists (or investors) sometimes counts toward the combination. He’s unruly with his affections and will give them away to anyone who will take them. The list of potential subjects is as long as it is short, which is equal parts sad and weird, but shut the fuck up. 

the others eschew Chapman's Love Languages (™) in favor of expressions that don't fit the typical definitions of love. 

Dark!Ren is attracted to power. Though he doesn’t ‘love’ or ‘covet’ power. He has power, and he’s interested in watching that power in play with more power. What another powerful force draws from Dark!Ren is more mutual appreciation than love. The Ren is his great love, so to speak. He doesn’t entertain banter or dissent unless it’s coming from a place of equal, opposite and/or greater power than his. Dark!Ren truly expresses his affection to others by not simply ignoring/ending them and moving on. (Timeline and thread dependent. He is a male adult human, until he isn’t.)

As they’re closest to the Original Mess Kylo Ren of Star Wars, Soft!Ren is a Mess and Soft!Kylo is Mess Jr. Think acts of service if acts of service meant internalized Freudian violence. (“Did we stab each other? Well, now we’re married.” “Did you steal me from Snoke and/or help me kill him? Well, I hope you’re prepared to be a million times worse than him, or this will never work.”)
