#I do not care about canon they are now going to dahlia with Benji <3

[fregget-frou]

I have art-block bad right now, so here’s a drawing of punk/alt Ben my freelancer oc! I wasn’t able to draw his full cowboy look but yeah here’s what he looked like ≈3 years before canon started

Sorry not really sorry for info dumping on my favorite listener oc, this is too fun

Also some of his tattoos, he likes snakes there’s more snake tattoos on him

Some little facts about him:

-he lives in California right now, not too far from where I’m guessing Dalila is (I originally thought it would be in Pennsylvania but after looking more into it the weather descriptions and plant visuals I got was just sequoias so eh)

- a little off track for a second, I do think dahlia would be somewhere in California, where’s there’s redwoods and stuff! Makes sense too with weather because it’s pretty hot here and only in the mountains it snows

-anyways, during this time he’s hoping jobs but he’s usually working manual labor like carrying boxes, cashier work, cleaning, working a bar that kind of stuff. Currently in this part of his timeline he’s most likely working at a bar that showcases music bands

-dresses in like exclusively tank tops and low rise jeans, to be fair he looks great in them

-hairs a lot shorter, and he dyes it. Mostly blue and black but one time he dyed it hot pink. He did not like it

- had a lot more piercings but either doesn’t wear them in often or let them close like on his ears. He got lazy lol. He still has his septum piercing and still wears it

-so many tattoos, he’s a dumbass so he’d probably get bog ruins on his body at some point

-the double eye tat was done with Vio (his best friend) and the eyes have each other’s eye colors in them :)

-knew a few magic users, didn’t really know that they were really

-he was kicked out at 19 so he’d been wandering for around 6-7 years before he met Gavin and went to Dahlia

-with all that time he tried to home in on a few magic abilities, with what little he knew how to control, even then magic was a sore spot so he tried to shut it away

-didn’t really work, he grew up a tree one time in a park after a shitty day after work, if he wasn’t so upset he would’ve been impressed lol

-was dating his ex at the time, Demeter who was a fire elemental and the one who told him to go to DAMN in the first place

-he learned how to make little fire people dance tho, and he was really good at just growing things like flowers and moss. So much moss he wasn’t thinking and accidentally covered his wall in moss

-a year before canon he started to change his style a lot, after a bad breakup with Demeter his lost a lot of self confidence

That’s all for now, I do remember a few of y’all wanting to see goth ben and even though he isn’t in emo cowboy attire I tried
