Gen Art Febuari: Movie Night - Kipo & her friends 🌟💜

They’re watching a scary movie together (in my mind, Kipo has seen this one like a hundred times already, Wolf has not seen a movie before in her life and Dave and Benson are really bad with horror 💗)

Happy Pride Month! 🥳🏳️‍🌈

You’ll never guess which two hyperfixations are back.

Thought I'd kick off Pride Month with a humble montage of my favourite queer moments from my favourite queer media!

[sugar-pink-poison]

I was flabbergasted (in a good way) when it happened

Sometimes I get so sick and annoyed by all the compulsive het shows keep shoving in that do absolutely nothing for the plot

And then Kataow comes out and the guy who I low-key dreaded would be the designated love interest is like "you're cool and all but I'm not into you"

And she doesn't get mad! She gets that they're incompatible and is HAPPY to be his friend

Thank you Kipo writers for being normal about two young teens hanging out

Ok ok, I caved

I'm watching Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts and

-Oh my god the wolves are rapping about science what is this show

Scarlemange: You have friends and I envy that.

Kipo: You're welcome to share my friends.

Scarlemange: *looks at Wolf, Benson and Dave*

Scarlemange: I don't want those.

I would like to take a moment to discuss Benson and his trauma for a moment

The first and most obvious is the fact that he lost his original family (wether that was bio parents, siblings, or just members of his group who were raising him is unclear) and was left to fend for himself on the surface as a young child. Now this is not a new situation for the characters in kataow. The whole show literally revolves around Kipo ending up along on their surface and separated from her family. Additionally Wolf and Hugo both also experience being separated from family and made to fend for themselves on the surface. However out of all these characters Benson seems to receive the least sympathy and concern from the rest of the team.

Of course one key difference in his backstory that separates him from characters like Wolf and Hugo is that unlike them he made an ally and friend pretty early into his time alone. He couldn’t have been more than 10 when he met dave which is pretty young to be in your own especially is you are (as I assume benson was) used to having an adult around to care for you. While dave was able to in some capacity take care of benson like a parental figure (as old dave, buff dave, and dave dave) he is also regularly not able to do that (as teen dave, toddler dave, and baby dave). This would have essentially made Benson, a very young child who until recent did have an adult to watch him, be forced into the role of a part time parent. I know dave isn’t exactly the same as a human baby but as we see in the show he would still have cried (potentially altering dangerous mutes to their location) needed to be fed, wandered off the way a toddler does and most importantly be rendered unable to protect or care for child Benson. Half of the time Benson would have been a child alone on the surface having to survive while also raising and taking care of the equivalent to a baby/small child. Even at age 16 we see him acting as the main caretaker of Dave in his younger forms.

I’m fact benson does a lot of being a caretaker throughout the show. He shows kipo ratland to cheer her up, he keeps her secret about being part mute, he runs after Wolf when she gets upset about kipo being part mute. When kipo transforms into the mega jaguar for the forest time and accidentally dislocates his shoulder he plays off his pain and injury as not a big deal so she won’t feel bad or guilty about it. When his backpack gets knocked into the gold along with kipo’s anchor he starts crying and later when kipo transformed and gets stuck he blames himself for the situation never once taking the time to mourn the loss of his personal items that were also lost.

So we have a young boy who has been placed in a caretaking role from a very young age in dangerous and hostile world. One where he has to avoid being eaten, starving to death, freezing to death, dehydration, and being kidnapped and sold to scarelemage all while being a part time parent from the ages of 10-16. AND THEN to top it all off Kipo (and the fandom) doesn’t ever seem to fully include him in the found family. Kipo calls wolf her sister within the first day of knowing her but never refers to benson as family I’m that way. When song gets transformed back kipo calls wolf to join in the family group hug but not benson. This kid takes care of everyone around him but is rarely shown that same care and it just makes me so sad. He may be the oldest in the group but he’s still just a teenager.

💜Update 3.0💚

It's been a while since an update, but it's good to let you know that we're already in the final stretch🎉

As a late Christmas gift, I will post the first three pages of the Doujinshi✨

I wanted to show it because I feel that in the last update justice was not done to the quality that the comic would have, I ask for your patience pls🙏

These first pages are in Spanish because they are the native languages that the two people who make the comic speak, when it's finished, we'll translate everything into English so it's understandable for everyone.

As an extra gift, I show you the sketch of page 7 of the comic, this will be the last page where they will appear to make way for our REAL protagonists💚🐸💜🐛

As a last announcement, you can now send questions, I hadn't realized that I had that disabled, now you can ask freely n.n

That would be all, have a nice day 💜💚

Dave x reader!

THIS IS MY FIRST REQUEST OMG I’M SO HAPPY AJHDIAHDIQKDJWA

Fandom: Kipo and the age of wonderbeasts

Character: Dave

Warnings: none

This is fluff!

This is a mini fanfic/headcanon kinda like the one I made of Scarlemagne

Dave, Benson and Reader are like family :3

Reader’s gender is not specified at any time btw

You met Dave and Benson on one occasion when you were stealing some food from an abandoned store. You found a whole box of explosion berries and took it, those things were really good

After stealing some stuff, you were heading to your temporary shelter with the box of explosion berries in your hands. Suddenly, you tripped on a rope, causing the box to fall to the ground. “Hmm…” you muttered in slight pain from the impact

Suddenly, a boy who couldn't have been more than 6 years old and some kind of mute insect appeared. They high-fived each other and ran off with the box of explosion berries. “Hey!” you ran after them

You spent HOURS chasing each other with the box, until all three of you tripped in a mud puddle, and started laughing, realizing how stupid you looked chasing each other with the box of explosion berries. You ended up making up and sharing the cans of soda

Despite being with them for so many years, they never bored you. The three of you always did a lot of silly things together, making the surface much less horrible for you

The first time you and Benson saw Dave “die” was traumatizing, but now the three of you laugh a lot about it lmao 😭

You and Dave were always in charge of looking after Benson. The surface was quite dangerous for a little kid after all

As time went on, you and Dave began to see little Benson as a son, and he saw you as a sort of father figure. It was a pretty cute dynamic, a mute and a human taking care of a little boy that you both see as a son

Although the roles changed a bit when Dave shed his skin and became a baby. You and Benson would have to be watching out for baby Dave not putting anything weird in his mouth lmao

Old man Dave would always be scolding you and Benson 😭 (he would be one of those grandparents who would tell you “today I fought the devil on the hill” only my Hispanic audience would understand that)

One time when Benson was 10, you and Dave lost him and panicked, looking for him for quite a while, when Benson was just in Ratland lmao 😭

You and Dave have a lot of inside jokes, mostly random anecdotes

After meeting Kipo, Wolf and Mandu, you guys officially became a family! <3

At Kipo's parents' burrow, you and Mandu were the only ones who listened to Dave about the place being scary, and all three of you ended up being right lmao

That's all! I tried not to make it too short or too long, maybe I'll add more stuff later 🩷

EXTRAS!

You and dave would be like:

I LOVE MY GAY SON 🏳️‍🌈

Because I identify at spiritual levels with this child and my ego is sometimes bigger than everything (?)
