The wildest thing about Ben 10 is that it took until 2005 for someone to have the idea "what if a kid could turn into a bunch of aliens" like this isn't obviously the coolest and most marketable premise for anything ever. Each design is a new toy. A new powerset. Come on.

But to prove that it wasn't a fluke, they continued to have the best ideas for every aspect of it. How does he transform? A cool watch you can also sell as a toy. That watch's name? Omnitrix. Say it. It's so satisfying. How many aliens? Ten. Nice round number. The kid's name? Ben. The show's name? Ben Ten. His full name is Benjamin Tennyson, a normal, plausible name, but he also turns into 10 aliens.

Bigger brands dream about this synergy. Better writers would kill for this coherence. So holistic. So intuitive. The identity alone!!! The retro alien sound motif? Chilling. The green? Any other color would be wrong. The kirby krackle pattern? It seems so obvious in retrospect. The roadtrip format? Genius. Lesser writers would've done the spider-man high school thing. His arch nemesis being Cthulhu darth vader? Inspired, iconic, intimidating!

The execution has its highs and lows, but the idea??? Game changing. So self-evident that it seems inevitable. If Ben 10 didn't exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

hi could u suggest any fanfics?? not from any specific media, im mostly just curious if there are any in particular that stuck with you (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

interesting question! Get ready for a bunch of random disconnected fics from my bookmarks i suppose! This is not like, an exhaustive list, and im gonna try not to link too much from one fandom lol. Anyway, have a look under the cut for my faves

All Souls Who Take Up The Sword

Dragon Age Inquisition Blackwall/Fem Lavellen Soooooo im not usually big into Blackwall, but this fic is an AU where he and Lavellen are both grey wardens forced to travel to the Orzammar deep roads to meet with the Hero of Ferelden, who is a changed person. Idk it was really interesting and an engaging character study. I loved it A Boon The Hobbit Thranduil/Reader

The reader and the Elvenking enter a wager, sex is on the table. Very hot, very sexy, i love elves. Gorgeous writing style, very evocative. By Blood BG3 Astarion/Tav I love this one. The author has such a good grasp of the characters and their voices, it honestly feels so much like a scene from the game. Thanks to a cursed treasure chest, Tav accidentally confesses her feelings to Astarion and he is a nuisance about it. Missives Dragon Age 2 Nathanial Howe/Hawke WOOF. Hawke and Nathanial meet in the deep road as in the game and then begin exchanging polite letters that slowly get less and less polite............Idk, nothing gets me like erotic mail lol. Incredible sexual tension. love it. Scheherazade Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (Part 4 in specific) Josuke Higshikata/Okuyasu Nijimaru Okay. Look. I know this one is kind of a hard sell. But it's probably the best fanfic i've ever read. Novel length, incredible combination prequel/sequel content that somehow feels like it slots perfectly into the original narrative. Josuke is struggling to recall memories from 10 years ago and when a serial killer seems to be in town, remembering them becomes essential, oh and also he might be in love with his best friend. Also one of the chapters is an RPG that you play????? its fucking insane. Please read it. In The Yellow Time of Pollen Mass Effect Andromeda Kallo Jath/Ryder Another niche one. A lot of my all time faves are niche ones. I really like Kallo and this fanfic is a really interesting exploration of like, alien sexuality and its also viscerally emotional and personal. And sexy. It does it all. I wish it was finished, but its still good as is.

And Wolves Beneath Their Seams Fallout 3 Lone Wanderer/Charon A really emotionally intense, teeth gnashing fanfic set during the main story of fallout 3. Has some really interesting perspectives on the lone wanderer's relationship with character in the game. This one makes me cry, its a lot. Do not separate them. Incredibly codependent relationship, so codependent it starts leaning toxic, but i love it.

Dirty Secret Final Fantasy 14 Emet-Selch/Warrior of Light

A really lovely exploration of the struggles there would be falling in love with the guy literally trying to end the world. Very achingly romantic and painful. Great sex stuff too. I really love this one. Fever Words Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Nagito Komaeda/Reader Usually komaeda is banished to my sideblog. But i am being transparent so here he is. Great fic this one. One of the first ones in this tag on ao3 and it still hits so good. Again its the combo of smut and character exploration that I find so compelling. I come back to this one all the time. Great writing too, super easy to visualize.

Quandary & Retribution in F# Arcane Viktor/Reader Okay, i decided i would only include one Viktor fanfic which was hard because i love so many, but the narration device in this one is so clever that it stands out. Reader is a musician and Viktor's neighbor. He comes by to tell her not to play her music so loudly. Anyway, the smut plays out interspersed with musical directions and I find it utterly fascinating and so so clever. A great read. So........that's a very big list. By no means exhaustive but I hope that someone will find a fandom they know and read some of these. I love all of them dearly.
