ALIEN PREGNANT?!?!!?!? i support furry girlfriend but maybe she should date someone else. Also hell yes he's trans

TRANS BEN! TRANS BEN!

But yeah, agreed. It was really just a one off joke that was unintially insensitive from the only episode Kai appeared in initially, but then she was brought back and it was Flanderized into her being a full on furry that only cared about Ben's alien forms that she liked(the werewolf the most) to the point that she didn't give a single shit about Ben at first. And like, there's nothing wrong with Kai really. I chalk it up to bad writing honestly. But, that did NOT make her a favorable character after that, lmao. And also did not give the basis of her relationship with Ben a very good justification which from then on only felt forced to keep the future that the original series established when the show had contradicted several established things already. Like, just cuz the original series said Ken's mom was Kai doesn't mean they had to keep that when it changed Kevin's entire backstory just an arc before. Like??? Just annoying tbh.

Anyway! Alien pregnant! One of my favorite episodes in the whole franchise actually!! So, one of Ben's aliens is a Necrofriggian, which reproduces asexually once every, fuckin. I dunno. Thousand-something years. And it just so happens that the week this species wide event occurs is in the same time frame Ben is alive, and the same week as prom.

So Ben's Necrofiggian in the Omnitrix, Big Chill, starts taking over and eating metal all around town. It's disrupting Ben's life while he's also acting kinda strange. Which, I shit you not, was pregnancy symptoms. He ate a whole jar of pickles and then drank the pickle juice. In front of Kevin. After adjusting Kevin's bowtie for prom and saying Kevin looked really nice in his suit.

And then, like, in the middle of prom, Big Chill takes over and flies away and the gang follow him and find him at his NEST that he built out of all the metal he ate. It was not graphic. No human style of birth happened. But there were like ten or so baby Necrofiggians that formed(they are legit adorable, trust me) and then the tiny last one shares a look with Ben and he says a final word to his baby children as they flufter away into space. And yes, it's kinda weird, but also super cute and it makes me fuckin cry man.

And then!! In an episode in Omniverse, Ben is dealing with Ma Vreedle after some clones of her sons were killed and Ben made a comment about understanding what it's like to be a Mother and something about either missing or loving your kids and. Fuck man. 😭😭😭😭😭 Ben feels a real connection to those babies and it crushes my entire soul!!!

So yeah, Ben trans.
