It's nice that I can help out in that regard! There's always room to show love to characters that lacked it in the show! (My full response to this is down below cause it's a relatively long thing lol)

Your version of Pam is really neat. I like how you managed to make her interesting and nuanced while still working within most of the limitations of the actual show. I can see what you created here being in the show lol. Pam here genuinely feels like more of a funny, smart, silly silly fun scientist girl, something that the show was going for by how Benson described her in the graduation special, but just never properly executed. Probably due to her getting little screentime and when she is in an episode, Benson just gets most of the relevancy anyway. She's very cute here, love how she has internal conflicts, notable flaws, and generally takes advantage of her scientist shtick more.

The Pamson stuff is also pretty cute! While I have my problems with dorky/silly Benson in the show, I like how you aren't afraid to fully utilize it and..actually make Benson consistently happy (which I thought was SUPPOSED TO BE THE POINT OF PAM I AM WHY ARE WE PUTTING HIM DOWN AGAIN IN FRIES NIGHT LOL). And I'm glad someone else noticed the workaholic implications in Pam I Am! I'm generally disappointed that the episode focused on both of them liking wings instead. Like that just leaves way less room for chemistry and development imo. Two workaholic dorks finding solace in each other is soo much more interesting.

And the kids are also very cute, love how you have fleshed out personalities for each of them, especially the twins. (Fun fact: I'm actually a twin myself IRL so it's interesting to see that portrayed here.) I also like that they both have development in different ways (Sammie almost killing Ben-Ben is brutal lol). Interesting to see some fantasy elements brought in here with the Pops stuff (and making his death sort of mean more plot wise), looking forward to see the details on that and what else you have in store for the kids in general!

And I mean I wouldn't have minded waiting longer for the art but I totally get wanting to answer asks faster. Interested to see the art for this, but also you can just provide art you've made before if you wish as well. I would like to see all the full designs for these guys! But no pressure obvi. (Also I find it funny that despite our Pams being different over all they still share quite a few things in common. Most notably the dorkiness/silliness, being overemotional, being hella smart, and actually both being motherly. Despite my Pam not having kids (and being too old to have any now), her mature and kind nature gives her that Aunt/mother vibe to a lot of the young adult characters (especially Celia actually). So yeah, great minds think alike amirite 😎. Thanks for the detailed answer on the ask! Now I have been educated.

Considering I joined the RS fandom..HELLA late, I was wondering what the basic lore of your Pam is like in terms of personality, motivations, hobbies, etc. I've only been able to see some of your art recently (and a few things you posted when I was lurking years ago), so I'd like to educate myself more on the Pamage. Also if you feel like it, I'm curious to know the gist with Pamson (and maybe their kids too if you want!) If you decide to answer this ask (though I understand not wanting to considering low motivation), you can be brief or detailed with it.

(BTW I find it fun that we've both decided to interpret Pam, but differ in execution. You seem to have kept it WAY more canon and generally accurate to the later season continuity compared to me lol. Which is cool to see, it's like a look into what Pam could've been if RS..tried to make her a character 😞 (and also wasn't afraid to make her silly silly!))

Ahh yea! It's just so awesome to have someone else here making content involving Pam! I don't feel so lonely anymore 😭✨ Yeaa, I tried to have everything blend in with RS canon as much as possible loll

And yess, we love her being a silly silly dork girl! 💕

And I'm always up for talking about my Pam lore, the kiddos, her and Benson etc ! So buckle up, this gon' be a loooong ride xD (A lot of this is mainly just jotting things down, probs will get more into details of some things later :>)

Sooo Pam! General personality:

*Usually very chill and patient

*Intelligent and quick-thinking

*Extremely optimistic and always trying to find a good solution to a problem. Even if something bad is happening, she'll be realistic, but gentle

*Kind, compassionate

*A decently capable fighter

*Has a great sense of humor

*Tends to be a bit emotional lol

*Very affectionate (both verbally and physically, but mostly physically), just very loving and devoted to her fam

*An extremely hard worker and is the type of person who when she starts something, she CANNOT stop or be distracted until it's finished. With how dedicated she is to her work, she sometimes drives herself to exhaustion with her tasks

*Doesn't like to keep people waiting, and tries to get wherever she needs to be as fast as possible

*I like to think that she was always the microwave dinner-type or would just order off of DoorDash, as actually cooking something was too much of a hassle, but she grew out of that after Benson and the kiddos entered her life, as she now actually enjoys cooking marvelous and healthy meals for both them and herself 😌

Mom personality (pretty much her general personality but with a dash of mom sprinkled in):

*At first when baby Justin and Sammie arrived, she found herself feeling the pressure and anxiety of being a first time mom, worried about things like if they're crawling at the right time and such, and wondering if she's doing anything right, and if she's a bad mom. She'd then go to Starla and Eileen for advice, since they've already been moms by this point, with them reassuring her that she's doing great <:')

*Tho pretty much she's like. the dorkiest, most fun and loving mom you'll ever find. Engaging in playtime with them and seeing them happy is what brings her the most joy.

*I imagine she's super embarrassing too, doin things like giving them kisses/calling them cute nicknames in front of their friends, or blabbing out mom joke after mom joke.

*She also holds boundaries firmly and lovingly, but once in a while will lose her cool when the occasion calls for it x)

*A bit protective too. like anyone that fucks with them will face her wrath (and Benson too of course, like he will pretty much go Super Saiyan on a mf who dares try and hurt his babies.. which I intend to show in a comic idea that's been brewing in my mind for a while), as all she wants is to keep her beloved fam safe, knowing the insane events that happen in RS all the time.

*She's always extremely proud of the kiddos, no matter what amazing things they accomplish, big or small.

*She's gotten better at maintaining balance too (something she often struggled with), navigating her (exhausting) role as mom while also working her scientist job, able to make time for self-care and hobbies.

Speaking of her hobbies, let's see...those would be:

*Collecting records of 80's/90's singers/bands she really likes

*I get the feeling she'd like gardening (possibly somethin that the kiddos join in on helping her do too 😊)

*Possibly writes songs/sings a bit (as I've heard Ali Hillis sing before and she got a gorgeous singing voice soo yea <:))

*Would be cool if she wanted to learn to play an instrument. Maybe the saxophone 🤔

*Bowling

*Engaging in martial arts

*Hanging out with the girlies (Starla, Eileen, Celia etc), as well as her colleagues (the same ones that are seen in the dome episodes)

*Adores traveling and adventuring with Benson and the kiddies :> (Just loves traveling in general...takes night drives down the highway to just chill, clear her mind or whatevs, doesn't care where she's going, just cranks up the music and enjoys the ride✨)

Now about Pamson! Where do I begin lmao.. Yea they're deep in love. Like anytime they're together somewhere they're either holding hands, arms around one another or whatevs, especially after the park gang returned to earth. I imagine them not wanting to be not wanting to be away from each other at all for some time after the space thing.. always holding hands, kisses, cuddles, standing right next to each other in group situations, hands resting on shoulders/waists, just because they don't want to be separated like that ever again.

(I've always figured that I guess they could count as "enemies to lovers" ?? Since in the beginning, she was part of the antagonists, and her and Benson's sides were trying to take each other down x))

When the park crew was being welcomed home by family and friends, after Benson hugged Applesauce, he saw a familiar, beautiful face emerging from the crowd, tears in her eyes, hands over her mouth in shock. Could this really be her man? Here on earth with her after all this time? In this AU of mine, they never broke up during Benson's time in space 😤 they made things work and called each other as often as they could. After hearing that the space tree got attacked by Anti-Pops and crew, and that the whereabouts of Benson and the park crew were unknown after that, she couldn't help but fear that something horrible had happened to him, nights of lost sleep over the dreaded thought that she likely would never see him again. And now, here he was, standing right in front of her, safe and sound. Here's a dumb lil comic from 2 years back that showcases this reunion lol

Soo yea, they pretty much pick up where they left off from before the dome blasted off. When it comes to like. date ideas, Pam's not very good at coming up with ideas, so Benson usually picks most of what they do, or sometimes they'll experiment with trying new things (which I could see escalating into some classic wacky RS shenanigans, where like. they have to). With both of them being workaholics, this post feels very much like things they'd say/do to each other 💖 https://www.tumblr.com/scealaiscoite/762806875681144832/taking-care-of-a-tired-lover-%F0%9D%9C%97%F0%9D%9C%9A?source=share

Got married close to 3 years later. I imagine Benson prob cried most of the time during it lol, bc of this being like. the happiest day of his life. Something he longed for, for the longest time but didn't think would ever happen to a guy like him... and it finally did. He found someone that loved him for who he was, and vibed and complimented just what he had going on, as she, too, was workaholic, so of course, she was down for the heavy work-life balance he had going on. Someone who understood his frustrations and knew what it was like working with a team. Someone who just brought him happiness, eased his mind, made his day better every time he saw her face. For Pam, her life, as she said, was just ''work, work, work'', and her being so busy that close relationships were barely a thing in her life, until meeting Benson, someone who could relate to that. Him being that someone who helped her to just chill and have fun, and better her work-life balance, just as much as she helped him. That's what's so nice about their first date, them both just taking a step back from their constant working to just let loose and have some fun together. They pretty much improved each other's lives in a way ig is how I see it.

When she was preg with Justin and Sammie closely afterward, she at first felt insecure and unsure if she's even cut out to be a mom, of not just one baby, but two. He comforts her, saying she's the sweetest, caring person he knows, and that she's got this <:') He couldn't help but rattle about this exiting news to his fellow park employees. They all happily congratulated him ofc✨ When she tries to get up and do some work, like laundry or somthin, he insists/demands that she relaxes and takes it easy, (like how he was with Skips in Skip's Stress) where he'd be like "NO, honey, you just lay back and relax, let me take care of that :V 😌'' Pam went through the dreaded morning sickness. Benson always helped her out of course uu.. He talked to/smooched her belly like, all the darn time, even when she was asleep.. such a soft/cheesy dork. Benson already loved Pam with all his heart and soul, but after finding out she was preg, his love for her intensified by 100, Like damn, he fell in love with her all over again ;w; People always thought Benson didn't like children, or want to ever become a father, but actually, he fell in love with the idea, especially being a father of his and Pam's children 💖 Benson loved pampering his beloved queen (teehee pampering), like massaging her back/ legs/shoulders, fetching foods she craved, bringing her robe and slippers. Benson was a sobbing mess when he got to hold little bby Justin and Sam for the first time. Pam found shopping for baby supplies to be enjoyable, plus she loved seeing Benson's cute and goofy reactions to all the adorable baby outfits n stuff x')

Now on to the kiddos: Justin, Sammie, and Ben-Ben:

So, Justin and Sam, twinsies of course, though Justin's the older one by a few minutes. They, along with little bro Ben-Ben, share a close and supportive sibling relationship, characterized by both affection and playful teasing, as well as sharing inside jokes and enjoying making each other laugh. Of course they have their disagreements, they ultimately have each other's backs and love each other unconditionally, supporting each other when in the face of danger. They all often refer to each other as "bro" and "sis'', and Justin and Sammie refer to him as ''Ben-Ben". They enjoy spending hours listening to Benson tell stories of his past adventures with the park crew, and how he was a famous drummer, how he helped save the universe. So they think of him as the coolest on the planet, their excitement gets the best of them and they blurt out when they're in public "Our dad helped save the universe!!" to which he thinks "Ahah, yep, I.. certainly was there.. 😬"

So! How these two came to be:

Soo, Benson and Pam, newly married, are having this lingering feeling of emptiness inside, like something's missing in their little world, this now new life of theirs... the main factor of this is Benson still dealing with the loss of Pops. So like, that night, they're just talking about the things that once were, and he pulls out a special item that Pops gave him: a butterscotch ripple. He explains of how Pops paid him this butterscotch ripple on his first day as park manager as his first salary, and how disappointed and confused he was by this, but now makes him laugh remembering it, and is ever so glad he kept it, wiping a tear from his eye. So they just snuggle a bit, trying to comfort each other. So, since this butterscotch ripple still has some of Pop's residual energy, this ig drew his spirit to where it's at, which is of course with Benson and Pam. Pops then senses that they're feeling this way (as well as sensing that Benson still misses him dearly), he decides to gift them these two little babs (as I feel like he would believe that adorable and innocent creatures like these is what they could be needing, and having two to bring both of them happiness is even better than just only one), tho I feel like not only to bring his dearest friend and his wife the special thing that they desire, but also as a way to be more connected to him through a living being (''beings'' in this case BD) on earth. And because Pops was the embodiment of pure good, that would now make them twin forces of pure good as well, being connected to him (Which two forces of good is of course better and possibly more effective than just one), and bc there needs to be evil to balance out the good (like right when they're born, pure good forces were put back into the universe), twin embodiments of evil were born as well, that of course want to destroy good/og Justin and Sammie. And at the end after these evil twins lose (to a way that I still haven't figured out yet) they say they'll be back to destroy them in a certain number of years from then (maybe by the time of the 25 years later park reunion ? 🤔) . Along with this, he's spiritually connected to them, and acts as their guardian angel. As well as this, they're connected to each other as well through some psychic twin link...

What's up with their psychic twin link:

I kinda like to think these are hidden powers that didn't 100% surface until they reached their teen years, but maybe similar to what happened to Pops, these powers made themselves known little by little wayy before their teen years, like in their toddler+kid years, they'd have these moments where they would sense danger, or see a faint vision in their mind of what either of them are doing at a random moment. As they reached their teen+young adult years, these visions became clearer and more specific, often showing an event (good and bad) before it was going to happen, involving not just either of them, but their mom, dad, and brother as well. There'd be some nights when either of them is having a dream, they'd be having the same dream. And in the mornings following those nights, when they're getting ready for school or somethin, they'd end up dressing the same without even knowing it. leading to some dialogue like:

J & S: *Discovering that they dressed the same* "Stop thinking like me!! >:V >:V"

P: ''Awww, I think it's cute when my little twinsies dress alike! ^w^~💕''

J & S: ''Maa! >:U >:[''

(now the events of their birth where the park crew is more involved, I'll post at another time x'))

They inherited their mom's intelligence, and this trait made itself known when they were around 7 years old. Due to mom being a scientist, they also possess a huge amount of scientific-related knowledge from a young age as well (this being due to them often accompanying her when she goes to work in her lab) They also inherited dad's rageful nature, even though rage bursts from them are quite rare, due to the more chill and tranquil nature they gained from their mom, so it takes a lil more to piss them off (Compared to Bendad's short fuse) they're far more powerful and dangerous, when they are pushed to the edge, turning into something possibly worse than Benson's Super Saiyan-like state in Think Positive (due to the high compatibility of human and gumball machine DNA when combined (says who? >:V myself ofc 😎), as well as their origin from being gifted by/connected to Pops, making them more capable of possessing above normal human abilities, like their psychic twin link)

Now for the more general individual info~

Sammie:

*Kind, independent, sophisticated young lady

*Outgoing, fun

*Silly silly

*Caring

*Most of the time the more responsible one of the two, and serves as the voice of reason

*Was the more well-behaved child (but at times whenever she gets bored, she too gets involved in Justin's antics)

*Usually very calm and chill who always tries to keep her composure and see the positive in any situation (including situations where Benson surely would have raged at x)), tho at a rare time where she enters a state of rage, it'd be a limiting situation that she'd try to handle the best she could, however wouldn't succeed and makes her panic, making her feel this way.

*A bit emotional (like her momma) x')

*Afraid to suck at any task she does and strives to be perfect in any way possible

*Loves horses, elephants (big animal lover in general, but these two are her favorites), flowers, old school RnB, walks through nature

*When she's older, works at animal shelter, and later as the new park manager when Benson and Pam retire in their later years

Justin:

*Usually a pretty chill, laid-back dude, but is not hesitant to go apeshit if someone like. really pisses him off, or if someone hurts a loved one

*Highly protective of his siblings (like any big bro would of course), especially if he feels like some devious dude is getting a little too close to his sis

*Very competitive

*Was quite the troublemaker as a child, and mischievous. Though still gets himself into trouble in his older years, this being caused from him not being the best at making good decisions

*Used to be a bit lazy, but has grown to be more hard-working

*Compassionate

*Sarcastic

*Overly confident

*Has a pet cockatoo

*Skilled dancer, takes choreography classes

*Loves pulling pranks on just about anyone. Gets pranking tips/lessons from uncle Muscle Man

*Really into horror movies

*Enjoys riding motorbikes and similar things, even pulling daredevil stunts

*Even though both him and Sammie enjoy spending time with and assisting mom in her lab at work, and possess her intelligence, he's taken more of an interest in the scientific field than Sammie. He mostly enjoys working with robotics n such in particular (Similar to Pam as well, as she's seen repairing a robotic hand in Pam I Am x)). Becomes a mechanical engineer when he's older

Ben-Ben:

*I uhh.. still have yet to come up with an interesting origin for him aghhfff

*When he was born, (Justin and Sam being about 8 years old at this time) Justin thought it was awesome to have a little brother and became attached to him. Sammie, however, wasn't super thrilled, have another brother, and wanted nothing to do with him.

(While including the fact that she now owes Justin 10 bucks after they made a bet on what the gender would be, like:

S: "If it's a girl, you owe me 5 bucks! >:D''

J: "Oh yeah? Well if it's a boy, you owe me 10 bucks! >:D"

S: "Aww what!? 10 whole bucks!? 😭"

*The two of them and dad visit mom in the hospital room and see the new baby, discovering that it is in fact a boy*

J: ''Ooooooohh, yeaa boii! 🤩 Well, better pay up, sis 😎"

Even going as far as trying to stick him in a box and into the mailbox to attempt to mail him to possibly another country. Benson and Pam discover this and note that this is very out of the ordinary behavior from her usual kind and well-behaved self. Though, she eventually has a change of heart after discovering he's in danger (when said box is mistaken for trash and is hauled away in the garbage truck). Furious and terrified Benson and Pam, along with Justin and herself chase down the garbage truck in Benson's car all the way to the landfill. With her being the one that saves his life. (from maybe a shredder or somethin x')) On her knees crying, while holding him tightly to her chest, and him clinging to her as well. Regretting having acted like such a terrible big sister to him, promising to love and protect him from that day onward. Benson, Pam, and Justin catch up to where the two are, relieved to see that they're both safe and mostly unscathed, besides a few cuts and scratches, and all engage in a group hug ;; (And of course ending up with Sammie being grounded for a few weeks lol.. or maybe even a month x'D)

*I imagine that after these events, he would get easily upset/scared if of someone in the fam isn't around, especially Sammie.

*An energetic little guy

*Thrives best when playing around other kids

*Outgoing

*Fun-loving, kind hearted

*Loves being outside, as well as bug-catching, and getting dirty

*Fond of all kinds of reptiles, though mostly lizards. Wants to work at a reptile sanctuary when older.

*Gained a fascination for drumming thanks to dad introducing it to him. Dreams of following in dad's footsteps and becoming a talented and famous drummer himself one day (And possibly get Hair To The Throne to accept him as their new drummer)

-Deep inhale- HOOooo, my brain is on fire after writing all this -faints- Anywayy hope all this makes some bit of sense eheh, as I stayed awake till 4 a.m writing the rest of this out, so my brain prob turned off at some point loll

There was also some art I intended to add in in this, but I've kept you waiting for this to be answered wayy longer than I wanted to, and I haven't even drawn the art yet, didn't want to keep you waiting for like. a zillion more years, so i'll just add it in at a later time loll x')
