#Courtney watches Ben 10

[microsuedemouse]

wait I’m a little obsessed with the Perplexahedron. Professor Paradox saw Cube (1997) and thought to himself, ‘hey. I could do that’

[the-ravenclaw-werewolf]

Those movies sound like good choices, though I have not watched around half of them (though I guess the Wolf guy would have taken the place of Legoshi, wouldn't it?). Other films that are good candidates, in my opinion, would be Balto, Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, Early Man, Over the Hedge, Quest for Camelot (would be funny if Garrett was summoned) and Ferngully: The Last Rainforest.

What about Animated Series? Though best not to get into the ones that are way too long to end (like South Park, Simpsons, Family Guy, etc).

I few I would pick would be...

Archer (Sterling Archer)

Owl House (Luz obviously)

Little Witch Academia (Diana, but cheating a little because it's an anime, but their interactions could resemble the ones between their relationships with Amity and Akko respectively)

Gargoyles (either Goliath, David Xanatos, or Elisa Mana)

Phineas and Ferb (Heinz Doofenshmirtz)

Star Vs the Forces of Evil (Marco)

American Dragon: Jake Long (Jake Long)

Danny Phantom (Danny Fenton)

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (Either Catra or Adora)

and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (Either Adam or Krass'tine)

I like the list you started, so here’s what I have:

(And I just realized that most of the characters will be even more traumatized by the adult shows I have here.)

Gargoyles (Goliath)

Phineas and Ferb (Doofenshmirtz)

What do you think were the JSA's fav shows growing up?

This is a tough one! I'm just gonna do core four for now but if I come up with new ones I'll add a bit more in a reblog or something.

Courtney- Court strikes me as a Caillou baby. I mean that in the NICEST way possible, but S1 Courtney was exhibiting a lot of that sort of behavior. In elementary school, she switched over to being a Nickelodeon kid, so I'm gonna say she was a huge fan of late-season Victorious (the JSA and ISA kids very much have a Hollywood Arts energy about them). In middle school, she probably still watched Nick but kept it under wraps to sound cooler. She also watched an egregious amount of Chopped with Barbara. Now, in high school, she's watching through Gilmore Girls (again with Barbara, of course), and probably went through a Teen Wolf phase because she's imagining her and Cameron as Scallison (with a happy ending, though. Duh. She's adamant that things are going to be fine).

Yolanda- tbh I don't think that Yolanda's mom let them watch much outside of boxing. BUT as a baby she was a classic Blue's Clues kid, and at friends' houses in elementary school she loved anything Disney Channel (she didn't watch enough to have a favorite). Middle School Yolanda pegs me as an ABC sitcom girl, so I think she'd watch stuff like Modern Family with her parents. High School Yolanda has not seen a TV screen for more than five consecutive minutes since the end of her freshman year, but if she did, she'd be watching through the West Wing for the first time and constantly rewatching Parks and Rec.

Beth- The easy way out would be to say that Beth loved Arthur as a baby (which she did, until she saw the Jekyll/Hyde segment and got so freaked out that she never watched the show again I have no similar experience to that, what are you talking about), but she really was a Backyardigans girl. In elementary school Beth watched like every Brain Pop segment possible, but definitely also was watching Phineas and Ferb on the side. Middle School Beth's favorite show was Once Upon a Time, but she also frequented the Crash Course YouTube channel (which she still does). In High School, Beth is making her way through Psych, but she watches Jeopardy every night.

Rick- The Tylers put on the Muppet Show and movies like 24/7 when Rick was a baby (and Sesame Street, but he was much more entertained by Kermit and Co. In Elementary School (pre-crash) Rick adored anything Cartoon Network, especially Ben 10. Middle School Rick didn't watch much television outside of what Matt had on the TV (so a lot of sports and Nascar, I feel like). High School Rick pirates streaming services that he and Matt don't pay for and really enjoyed Invincible.

What If…? (vol. 1) #105: Legacy… In Black and White

Read Date: April 10, 2023 Cover Date: February 1998 ● Writer: Tom DeFalco ● Penciler: Ron Frenz ● Inker: {uncredited} ● Colorist: Matt Webb ● Letterer: Chris Eliopoulos ● Editor: Kelly Corvese ●

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers

Reactions As I Read: ● I kinda like the scribbly art style ● Peter has a goatee and a chronic limp ● heh, I know Mayday Parker is supposed to be a teenager, but she looks like a middle-aged woman ● I think this is the first time she's experiencing The Tingle

● Foggie Nelson <3 ● I've only seen Normie Osborn as a baby, but yeah… as far as he knows, he lost both his grandfather and his father to Spider-Man. that'd make anyone bitter. ● …heeeee might have taken his bitterness to an extreme, though… ● heh, "thwippp!" sound effect of the basketball going through the hoop ● whoa, Peter lost his leg? ● ok, so May can jump and use the web shooters. can she climb walls? that I don't know yet. ● ha! ok, very next panel, I learn that yes, she can climb things ● I can really feel Mary Jane and Peter's anxiety as they watch their daughter put her life in danger ● aww, and Peter's "proud dad" moment when she outwits the Goblin ● (I'm still not a fan of his goatee, though) ● 👏👏👏👏👏

Synopsis: This issue asks the following question: "… What if Mary Jane had never lost the baby, and Spider-Man had a Spider-Girl?" It focuses on the outcome of one part of the Clone Saga, in which Mary Jane had apparently miscarried May, though the baby was secretly smuggled by Alison Mongrain to Norman Osborn (see Clone Saga#Act 3 in the Books for more information).

Now at the age of fifteen, May "Mayday" Parker is the captain of her high school girls' basketball team at Midtown High School in Queens, New York (where her father had gone as well). Exhibiting some wowing abilities on the court, Mary Jane and Peter begin to worry she may have inherited some of Peter's Spider-Man abilities. As they congratulate her, a shadowy figure (the Green Goblin) looks on from the windows. May then blows off the jocks to hang out with her "nerdy" friends. Mary Jane and Peter walk home and Peter recounts how he no longer is Spider-Man because he had a large confrontation with Norman two years after May was born where Norman died and Peter lost the will to continue as Spider-Man. Without having to be Spider-Man, they never revealed to May who he had been. Elsewhere, May and her friends Jimmy Yama and Courtney are attacked by the Green Goblin. He wants May to pass on the message to Peter that he will be waiting at the bridge the next night.

Peter decides to try to contact Normie Osborn, Norman's grandson. He gets through to Normie's stepfather who tells Peter he hasn't seen Normie since his mother grew ill. He relates this information to Mary Jane and May, in the process, overhears them talking about him being Spider-Man. The next day while Peter tries to get the help of first the Fantastic Five and then the Avengers, May starts to experiment with her new powers. She later confronts Mary Jane about the conversation from the previous night and MJ explains everything to her. That evening, Peter shows up at the bridge to face Normie, who is miffed Peter wasn't wearing his Spider-Man suit. Mary Jane shows up to try and reason with Normie, but May shows up as well, wearing Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider's old suit. Fighting ensues and May is able to stop Normie with one of his own pumpkin bombs. Though he is about to be hit, and possibly killed, by an oncoming truck, May saves him anyway. As the cops take him away, he raves on and on about Spider-Girl, but no one believes him. The Parkers later burn Peter's old costumes and assorted gear, but an open-ended conclusion shows May's designs for her own suit and a tantalising "The End?"

Harper, a 12 éves core-vokalista feldolgozott egy régi BMTH-dalt

Harper, a 12 éves core-vokalista feldolgozott egy régi BMTH-dalt - https://metalindex.hu/2023/10/03/harper-a-12-eves-core-vokalista-feldolgozott-egy-regi-bmth-dalt/ -

Valószínűleg már mindenki, aki valamennyire is járatos napjaink metal történéseiben, találkozott Harper nevével. Ha mégsem, akkor elég annyit tudni, hogy 2022-ben az akkor még csak 10 éves kislány a Spiritbox Holy Rollerjével lépett fel az America’s Got Talentben és akasztotta ki a zsűrik pupilláit. Azóta az ifjú tehetség színpadra is állt Courtney LaPlantéékkal Londonban, valamint kiadott egy saját számot a Brand of Sacrifice gitárosával és a We Came As Romans énekesével.

Harper most ismét egy ‘core-klasszikus feldolgozására szánta el magát, ez pedig a Bring Me the Horizon idén 15 éves (tehát Harpernél is idősebb) Suicide Season lemezéről az egyik húzódala, a Chelsea Smile. A választás nem annyira véletlen, a kis hölgy instája szerint a dal már a tehetségkutatóra készülődés során felbukkant a látókörében, és habár nem erre esett a végső választása, mégis szerelem volt első hallásra számára.

Ami pedig a BMTH-t illeti, a zenekar nemrég mindenféle logisztikai kifogásra hivatkozva elnapolta a várva-várt új EP-je, a Post Human: NeX GEn megjelenését. Ahhoz képest, hogy előtte velük volt tele minden, most elég nagy a kuss, szóval nem lepődnénk meg, ha hamarosan az arcunkba vágnának valami konkrétumot.

[princess-of-the-corner]

Random stuff about Corner 10

Any new AU you're thinking about?

Fairy Tail AU stuff?

So there's two things I want to do with Ben at some point that isn't as plot heavy:

First:

I need to write more of Ben casually using his various forms. I hesitate sometimes because he is still in Baby Protocol Mode, so the Omnitrix will time out and need to recharge. Ben does restrain himself somewhat because he has had that situation of "I just used it for something frivolous, and now we're in a fight but whoops still recharging".

But still. If he has one of those "tell me that doesn't make you want to walk out into the ocean!" Moments and then actually fucking does walk out into the ocean as Ripjaws..... He will do that. Or just use one of the flying ones for a midnight flight. I think he'll draw the line at "eh I don't feel like getting a stepladder let me change into something taller" but thats like. For now. Once he has the master control unlocked again it's free game(something I do with both 10,000 and Kenny when I write them tbh because that's the whole ass point of this fucking bullshit!!!)

Second one:

I want to bring back Courtney and the rest of the Basic White Bitches Squad but have them like.

They're a bunch of popular jocks and all and they just. Low key dragged Ben into their group when at school so on campus he'll hang out with them.

And Ben doesn't quite get why. He also doesn't realize that 98% of the rest of the students now think he's some cool kid because he is such an enigma to them.

But back to the Squad. They're all captains of various sports teams and I just.

They'll see Ben do something badass causally because he has the instinct from being all superhero and go 'hey.... You should join our team!!!"

Like. Tabby watches him do a backflip and is like "I want this bitch on the Cheer Squad right now!!!"

Ben 10/Greatest Showman AU Chapter 1

Co-written by me and @minecraftninjerkid

Ben stared hungrily at a ring master outfit in a store window. Many times, he had passed this window, imagining himself in it, at the center of a ring, at the center of attention, everyone cheering for him and the wonders he displayed for all to see. 

His fantasy was cut short by his grandfather, Max Tennyson, who exited the store, rolls of fabric under his arm. “Come on Ben, we’re going to miss our train.”

Ben was pulled away from the shop window, though his imagination kept him locked in that image of himself in those ringmaster’s boots. Despite the strength of his dreamlike illusion, the harsh truth was that Ben Tennyson came from poor beginnings, living and working with his grandfather as tailors for the crazy rich Lawrence family. 

But Ben knew his fate extended far past stitching coats and shirts. One day, he promised, that he’d build a life for himself, far greater than anyone could ever imagine.

Though he hated working in such a high and mighty household, it wasn’t all bad. The source of Ben’s hopes for a better life stemmed from his affection for the Lawrence family’s daughter, Courtney. Although from different worlds, the children became very close with one another. However, despite that closeness, their social statuses stood in their way.

Soon after they had arrived, Max was creating a suit for Abraham Lawrence, Courtney’s father, as Ben was watching the young raven-haired girl participating one of her many etiquette lessons, this time was learning how to properly drink from a teacup. 

The girl kept glancing over at Ben as she was instructed how to drink from her cup by a maid. Ben watched carefully, noticing how bored she looked. Seeing a wooden item on a nearby coffee table, he got an idea. Fashioning himself a fake teacup, he began copying her actions while Courtney watched in mild interest from the corner of her eye. 

As soon as Courtney had taken a sip, Ben did the same with an overdramatic slurp, sucking up a small piece of fabric that was on the mouthpiece of his cup in the process. This caused Courtney to spit take as she doubled over in quiet laughter, causing Ben to laugh as well. He was always happy to bring a little sunshine in her hoity-toity, dreary life. He’d feel her smile like it was his own.

However, Courtney’s father did not find this as amusing, calling her over. Courtney reluctantly obeyed the call, exchanging a worried look with Ben as she stood in front of her father. 

“Your dress! Is this how we taught you to behave?”, Abraham asked her sternly as Courtney looked down at her now tea-stained dress. 

“It’s my fault sir,” Ben confessed, stepping forward. “I made her laugh.” 

Abe gave Ben a long, cold stare before responding calmly. “Well…thank you for your honesty.” 

For a moment, Ben thought they were both in the clear. A good clout to the ear proved him wrong. 

“Stay away from my daughter!” Abraham warned Ben as he rubbed his now-sore ear. He then grabbed Courtney by the arm before dragging her away as she glanced back at Ben, gratitude and remorse filling her eyes before they both disappeared behind the door frame and out of sight.

***

Later, Ben was sitting alone on a beach that was close to the Lawrence mansion, thinking about the incident from earlier that day. Abraham had usually ignored his interactions with his daughter without a word, but today he seemed extra irritable. He couldn’t help but wonder why.

He was so lost in this thought, he didn’t notice Courtney was there until she sat next to him, now wearing a new clean dress. “I thought I’d find you out here.”

“Courtney? How’d you get out?”, Ben asked her, knowing full-well that she was grounded because of his actions. 

“The window,” she replied simply before looking over at Ben. She was trying to sound lighthearted, but Ben could sense sorrow in her voice. After a few moments of silence, Courtney let out a long, sad sigh, unable to fool her friend. “My father is sending me to finishing school. Can you believe it?”

“Guess your dad’s not keen on training you to become a fine lady with a ruffian like me around,” Ben joked, trying to cheer her up.

“That’s not funny, Ben! After I’m a well-trained adult, then what?! I just become some subservient housewife to a wealthy lord? I don’t want that! I…I don’t know what my future will be…”

Ben looked at her and gave her a soft smile. “Well, you know what I see?”, Ben asked as he stood up and held out his hand to her. Courtney smiled as she took his hand before he pulled her onto her feet and led her away from the beach.

Soon they were in the forest as they came across vine covered gates. Ben started climbing them as Courtney did the same. They soon climbed up high enough to see that inside the gates was an old mansion.

“What is this place?” Courtney asked as she and Ben climbed over to the other side of the gate. 

“I found it a while after my grandpa started working for your dad. I thought that maybe we could live here when we’re older,” Ben said as they walked closer. 

“’We’?” Courtney said teasingly. “Is this a proposal, Tennyson?”

“Depends…does Tennyson sound like your kind of surname~?”

Courtney couldn’t help but giggle at Ben’s flirty remark. Though the place was old and creepy, there was something enchanting about it as well. 

“Come on, follow me!” Ben said as he ran past Courtney towards the building. The two ended up facing a giant white wall, and though worn, it still stood in their way.

“No way in…” Courtney mourned, looking all around for some sort of opening. “Maybe we should head back…”

But Ben knew this place like the back of his hand. “Life is always putting challenges as solid as this wall in front of us,” he assured his best friend. “If you see a wall in your way…you push through it.”

With a tilt of his head, Ben walked sideways into a wall of ivy vines and disappeared. Courtney gawked in slight shock. How did he do that?? “…Ben?”

Ben’s hand stuck out from the wall, forming a mouth. “Join me…” he whispered from the other side of the vines before extending his hand to her. 

Grinning, Courtney grabbed his hand as she was pulled inside. At first, all she could see was dark. But then, Ben lit a lantern, and the wonders of the house were illuminated. The two remained hand-in-hand as he showed her the different items that were inside.

“This is amazing…” Courtney said, truly enthralled by the treasures this house held. “You really think we can live here someday?”

“Together?” Ben said, stopping in front of a moonlit window and giving her his signature smile. “I don’t see why not.”

Ben wished that time could just stop, right there in that moment, where he shared his dreams with the girl he loved. But, soon enough, the dreadful day came when Courtney had to leave for finishing school. Her mother’s hugs and kisses and her father’s well-wishes weren’t enough to comfort her, nor did she hear a goodbye from the one she really wanted to see as she climbed into the carriage. 

Ben and his grandfather walked out of the house too late, he was carrying rolls of fabric. Ben saw Courtney in the carriage as he dropped the rolls of fabric, causing them to unroll as he tried to run after her. 

“Courtney!” Ben cried out as his grandfather grabbed him, only allowing him to watch his best friend and the girl he loved ride off.

Seeing Courtney leave was only the start of Ben’s troubles. Max suddenly fell ill as Ben did his best to care for him, but his grandfather ended up passing on. Ben was soon forced to live on the streets, hungry and alone. 

Though it felt like his dream world was already starting to crumble, Ben didn’t give up. Through the letters he continued writing to Courtney, he was given the strength to keep going. He’d see her again, and he’d be a new man when it happened.

That hope carried him through the years quickly. Soon, Ben returned to Courtney’s home, now grown up. Even after all this time, he was nervous as he approached the house while a grown-up Courtney watched him through her upstairs window. What if her feelings had changed while she was away? What if she was the stuck-up trophy wife her parents had trained her to be and wanted nothing to do with a street boy like him anymore?

Before Ben got to the door, it opened to reveal Courtney’s father standing in the doorway, heightening his nerves. Still, he’d come too far to turn back now. 

“Mr. Lawrence, I know I don’t come from much,” Ben said, clearing his throat to fix the waver in his voice. “But I will take care of your daughter and give her a life as grand as this one.” 

Ben looked past Abraham to see Courtney coming down the steps with a suitcase, looking more beautiful than he remembered. He may not have seen her since they were young, but he knew it was her from her jet-black hair to her soft, yet sweet smile. It was that smile that restored his confidence, the one that told him Courtney felt the same way.

It seemed to sell her mother too, as Genevieve Lawrence copied her daughter’s smile and nodded, signaling her blessing. Knowing better than to argue with his wife, Abraham reluctantly nodded as well. Courtney couldn’t contain her excitement and practically launched herself off the bottom steps and into Ben’s arms, where he lifted her in a high-spirited gusto, excited to take the first steps of their new life at last.

But Ben was not leaving without one last challenge declared on him. As Courtney said her goodbyes to her mother, Abraham turned back to Ben. “Say that you uphold your promises to our family,” he warned him. “Because if you don’t…the Lawrence’s don’t offer second chances.”

It almost sounded like he was hoping Ben would fail. Knowing the path he was leading Courtney down was risky, Ben partially understood that Abe would be more comfortable knowing Courtney was under a stable roof. But he wasn’t going to fail, not in the slightest. With a heart full of love and a head full of ambition, there was nothing that would stop him.

Courtney approached Ben and smiled as they ran off, hand in hand, glad to be reunited once again.

Soon night fell as they arrived at a busy train station. “I can’t believe you actually pulled it off!” Courtney cheered. “I thought my dad was going to shred you for sure!”

“Gee, thanks for the confidence in me,” Ben said meekly, only now feeling the wind of the bullet he just dodged. 

“Oh, Ben I’ve always had confidence in you,” Courtney smiled, glad to finally be free of her parent’s expectations, at least for a moment. Little did she know it would be for much longer than a moment. “So, what’s the occasion?”

Ben responded with a blush and a quick self-reminder to stick to his plan. “So…you remember that thing you said about a proposal when we were kids? I…might’ve taken it seriously.”

Courtney’s mouth was agape. “Y-You what…?”

“I know, I know, you probably weren’t being serious. I kept on telling myself ‘she totally means it!’ Just goes to show my brain doesn’t know what my mouth is saying.”

Courtney still had trouble processing what she was seeing as Ben got down on one knee. “Good thing my heart does.”

Ben pulled out a small box and opened it to reveal a ring that he had spent the last year saving up for. “Courtney Lawrence…will you marry me?”

There were no words to describe how happy, surprised, and emotional Courtney felt to hear that from him. “Ben…I…yes…yes, yes, yes, of COURSE I will!!”

And that was that: with a slip of the ring on her finger, a kiss, and a couple more years, Ben and Courtney soon found themselves in a small apartment where they spent their nights dancing on the rooftop. It may not have been much, but they were together and they were happy. 

Part of Ben thought it would be like that forever…just him and his newlywed wife. But, it wasn’t until Courtney fell pregnant that Ben realized that his promise now extended to his two baby boys…and that he would soon need to do more for their growing family.
