Actually thought I'd share some reimagined Benson lore considering i was planning to with that reference drawing and just..forgot. I think out of all the main characters, his lore is the most straightforward. Here's a bit of what to expect from him (serious plot wise):

In the overall timeline, naturally he'd learn to be less uptight and more fun-loving. This not only comes from his time with Mordecai and Rigby, but from other characters like Pops, Muscle Man, Pam, etc.

Something I want to accentuate is that Benson is actually relatively understanding and fun even at the start. I feel people sometimes forget that Benson was never really a grumpy, fun-hating, douche (at least not all the time), he genuinely secretly liked Mordecai and Rigby, and has a good relationship with the rest of the guys. (Just look at a Skips focused episode like Over the Top or Skips Strikes. He's actually the one initiating a lot of the silly silly things). Yes his development will involve him being more consistently fun and chill, but it's not because he inherently lacked it in the first place.

The main problem Benson has from the start is that he doesn't respect himself. He thinks he's a dead end, washed up middle aged loser who's done nothing with his life (..his crash out in busted cart lol). Every endeavor he's taken has just resulted in failure, him being in a band, him being a stick hockey pro, even him being a normal nerd. Either way he can't seem to be happy with himself. And while he has his friends at the park, and even gets Pam as a partner, that doesn't fix this issue. Sure Mordecai and Rigby being dicks makes him lose his mind, but it's not what he tends to be truly angry over. In his eyes, they're just kids who are learning and growing, despite how annoying they can be (hence why he's usually apprehensive to actually fire them). What's his excuse for being a nobody?

So Benson’s main development is learning to just be kinder to himself, and be more comfortable with his jagged past. He can make the best of where he's at now, and not worry about being someone “cool” or someone who's accomplished a lot (bc he's already those things :)) He can be more at one with the hobbies and interests he had put to rest, especially with the help of others. He can get back into stock hockey/drum playing with the help of the general park crew. He can indulge in his more nerdy/dorky interests with Pam’s influence. He can truly be himself. All while still being the park manager, because despite the grievances he has with the job, he genuinely loves the park, and wants to continue to support it.

Drawing my crack ship cause I've been feeling sadlol

[myshollow]

Sketch drawings And one That it doesn't end

[myshollow]

Simple Benson reference sheet for me 😌 (does anyone know what damn color/opacity they use for his stupid dome head?)

[myshollow]

YOOO!! I love it!!! He's so gorgeous! The first drawing LOL that's so canon!! (About to get his asa bodied by Klorgbane. The tragedy 😔😔) Glad you like his longer hair he's just a bit of a show off. Love the low-key pathetic energy here he's just silly silly. Thank you so much 🥺🥺

dear followers, today i offer: gary. tomorrow? probably the same (feat. @myshollow's redesign hehe)

[myshollow]

Summer time lovingggg (loving in the summer time)

[myshollow]

Fun fact: I did concepts for future redesigns about exactly a year ago (that's when I also started to really work on my reimagined girl designs) Will probably make a post showing the beta designs for the reimagined girls tomorrow. Here's some very messy concepts I did back then of Skips, Mordecai, and HFG lol

older art of Benson/Muscle Man future redesign concepts (the two future designs I've always personally had the most beef with lol) eventually I'm going to fully redesign most of the future designs + the kids down the line, but it's not important rn. (Here, Benson is fully retired at around age 78, coming by the park relatively often. Muscle Man is a stay-at-home dad, taking after his probably 4 kids)

Ohhh my goddd LOL! I WAS THINKING OF GIVING BABY PAM A SMUG ASS EXPRESSION BUT FORGOT YOU READ MY MIND!! I love this!! Her not trusting theaters is so canon lol. And the way you drew her bodying the ranch is just perfection 🤌 This is so fun you drew her so well thank you 🥺🥺 (I might be horrid at reacting to gifts but I'm kicking my feet and giggling)

How wacky can pam get?

Well I'd say VERY. Out of all the characters she's probably the silliest one (even probably beating out Pops) due to how batshit a lot of her plots and gimmicks are. Some of the silliest things about her are the following:

She doesn't like ranch…to the point where she'd beat up a bottle of one with extreme malice and hatred 😭

She is terrified of ladybugs and ladybugs only because “they're…red.”

She's actually bald-headed and her hair is just a wig (her hair got permanently destroyed after an accident that got her fired from her old job)

She's insanely smart now, but was so smart as a baby that her brain was TOO BIG and had to be surgically reduced.

Her full name is Pam P. Panderson

Instead of Benson doing the p-mail shit, she’d be the one to do it (same applies to microwave wings)

She oftentimes “erm actually” (not out of malice, she's just genuinely a super big nerd) 🤓 🤓

She doesn't know how she got her big muscles (it's from her training to go to space she just doesn't remember)

Thinks Benson is a SNACK even b4 they get together but isn't as obvious about it like Eileen with Rigby.

She does have a more grounded side but she definitely represents the irregular part of Regular Show more. Thanks for the ask!

Can we (me) please have a little spoiler of reimagined Pops lore? 👀👉👈

I think out of every main character, Pops is the least developed in terms of his serious storyline rn due to me still having to figure out the exact Maellard/Anti-Pops lore, though I at least have a general idea rn. In terms of his serious, endgame plotline, here's what to expect:

Going into his increasingly toxic relationship with his father and how he eventually learns that the park and its residents are his ✨ true family ✨. This will especially go into his long past with Skips, and the specifics of his relationship with Benson.

Meeting Anti-Pops and helping him get past his abandonment issues (neither of them know for a while that Maellard intentionally abandoned Anti-Pops) Instead of both of them dying, Anti-Pops get redeemed and starts working at the park, making him moreso the pre-ultimate villain.

Neither Pops or Anti Pops are gods, but Anti-Pops actually steals god-like powers in a scheme involving Klorgbane.

Some less serious lore about reimagined Pops:

Accentuating his earlier season attitude where he can throw hands and be a jerk if he felt like it. Never forget how he roasted Mordecai and Rigby in Ringtoners and casually socked a guy in Karaoke Video. Pops is still nice here, but him being weird is his main thing. He low-key a oblivious dick lol.

He makes notable friends outside the other 6 guys, mainly Pam and Starla.

He plays a big role in Benson’s development, helping him be just a bit more kind and fun.

Despite not changing drastically throughout the series, he learns to be a bit less sensitive.

There will be more focus on his wrestling, sky watching, and fanciness hobbies. Also more info on his past (which will notably include his relationship with his mom).

If anyone wants to send asks, now would be a great time since art's a bit slow rn.

[myshollow]

[myshollow]

Not sure if I'm gonna be able to finish all the father's day arts I have planned in time, but here's a sneak peek of one of said arts :> They're supposed to be at a carnival or somethin ^^

[myshollow]

and deltarune chapter 3+4 spoilers warning!!

I cannot get my a$$ to draw anything now,I'm just drawing out of anxiety over something i don't even know.

[myshollow]

hiii curious on your take of gary’s backstory… or any ideas abt him in general ^^

Admittedly I haven't gotten a very solid grasp of what I'll do with Gary (despite me planning to give him more plots and relevancy), probably because my mind'a been occupied thinking about A LOT of other characters lol. I ESPECIALLY need to rewatch the synthos episode (even though I've rewatched all RS episodes multiple times it's still too much info to fully remember.)

But from where I'm at rn there are a few things I have in mind for taking his character (also there's some art I want to do here, but there's other drawings I gotta do first so I'll rb this with art later)

1. Keeping the trend of him being low-key a JERK. I think him being immortal for so long, combined with the Klorgbane incident, has jaded his (and especially the guardians) views on both mortals and immortality. He doesn't want mortals to get wiped out like what Klorgbane was doing, but thinks just one mortal is disposable (I mean look at what he did to the rules guy in Skips Strikes lol). And after Klorgbane's need for total immortality made him rot, both Gary and the guardians are a lot more paranoid about who gets immortality, thus why Skips needs to perform rituals and crap. (And why they aren't hesitant to kill Skips if they feel he's not being up to code.)

2. Both him and the guardians are rather prideful, though honestly Gary moreso cause he doesn't live with the guilt of the Klorgbane incident. They sort of have a reputation to keep up as these big✨ graceful ✨gods. Hence why they are so damn petty about even losing a simple bowling tournament, and willing to compromise mortal souls over it. (At this point Gary's not just low-key a jerk HE IS FULLY A JERK)

3. Between him and the guardians, Gary's the more redeemable one, generally being less jaded from k l o r g b a n e. Despite him and Skips being detached for a while at first, they do reach more of an understanding, and Gary tries to improve on his attitude and be more sympathetic towards both Skips and mortals (Gary working minimum wage core in that one comic issue). Though no matter Gary's attitude, Skips would deal with it anyway because he WILL make sure Klorgbane never hurts anyone again (but actually becoming friendly with Gary is a nice bonus lol.)

4. Again, I need to rewatch Gary's Synthesizer, but I would like to use the location more in plots, going more into the world and Gary's long winded past. And by extent, have Gary interacting with certain characters besides Skips (Techmo, Pam, Celia, and the general park crew come to mind).

Thanks for the ask! If you have any thoughts to add to this or perhaps any ideas you'd like to see me go with, be sure to lmk! Love the things you've done with him!
