ben and his big chill kids big chillin' because nobody i ask remembers ben 10 had kids

Can't decide how to draw him yet

Something you only realize when reading the book first is that the people who watch the movies first are so misled on many characters ( mainly Ron , Sirius, James and Snape )

I'm gonna take Snape as an example first because I believe he has the most noticeable change. Snape is not a buff adequately attractive male dilf with a tendency to bully Harry , with a deep voice .

Bro is a thin, scrawny, girly pop with long hair with feminine handwriting, an almost unhealthy acquaintances with rich death eaters. Snape was never a purist, and even his love for Lily being romantic is questionable ( I personally think it's more of a siblings like attachment thing ) . Bro just wanted to get powerful, and Malfoy was like, " Let me just take this socially dumb boy to shower him with fake praises and tell him that joining the death eaters will give him powerful ). Snape didn't go around killing muggleborn people. He barely hated anyone, and the group he was mad at had 3 people who tried to kill him. One almost succeeded ( Read the books. Sirius mentions this in the Prisoner of Azkaban and the Order of Pheonix )

Snape is like the transcoded tragic genius who is being played on the string like a puppet and gets so cranky because of it that he ends up snaping on children and gives out mean comments.

i have an entire relationship dynamic for them in my head (reluctant travel companions united by homelessness and hatred for the tennysons and torn apart by heather constantly betraying kevin and stealing his blood in his sleep for spells,always reuniting out of neccesity)

the loss of the addiction angle in Kevin's character in the transition from ogs to uaf really shows to me the flaws in uaf's writing compared to ogs's, at least in terms of Kevin's redemption.

Kevin's energy addiction is a key part of his character in ogs. it's implied to be why he swings so drastically from being good to Ben out of the kindness of his heart to trying to kill hundreds of people in mere hours, and it seems like this has been going on a while, shifts in mood correlating to his energy consumption. the addiction is why Ben and Kevin break apart, because Kevin's behavior because of the effects of the drug and his pursuit of it stop them from being healthy friends. Ben never stops believing Kevin might have the capacity to change, though, trying to see through the person the drug created to the person inside, like him sparing Kevin in framed and helping him out in grudge match. Kevin is, at this point in his life, dangerous, but he's still a kid, and Ben's failure to protect him weighs heavy on him for the rest of his life. you see this narrative and think well, if he's redeemed later, this should be important. recovery should be hard, especially when he seems to have been in survival mode for years. it must be hard for Ben to trust him afterwards, especially with the sheer amount of pain they've put each other through, Kevin especially, because of his addiction.

in uaf, Kevin is already good. he can still absorb things, but they don't hurt him now, they aren't a compromise he makes, sanity for safety. he's a con man, he makes measured plans and scams, not drugged out bids of random violence. he's calm, mostly, and he's a good guy now, and he'll help Ben because he has "honor", and he no longer thinks of life totally selfishly. this, I feel, is a cop out.

main characters aren't really allowed to have rough edges in uaf, and when they do, it seems jarring and out of place, or a result of weird writing. Ben's transition from being a little too kind for Ben to being unreasonably cruel in a way he never was as a child is strange, unfitting of how perfect the show wants him to seem. gwen's random bouts of insulting Kevin or pettily harping on him for things he apologized for seem strange when paired with how kind she usually is to him. and Kevin, Kevin is a "bad boy", but not in a dangerous way. all of his crimes are amorphous "things he's done" that they never elaborate on, his scams not cruel but only conniving. even when mutated, he still seems lucid, way less vengeful and violent than he was as a child. he's not an addict. why would he be? he's a good guy. he's changed. even at times where it seems obvious to show that he's "fallen off the wagon", they don't mention it.

I feel like this leads into a larger discussion about uaf, mainly about character flaws and the white sheet covering specifically the alien trio. character traits that got lost in translation, Ben's hobbies, Gwen's love of technology, Kevin's addiction metaphor. especially in terms of flaws. in uaf Ben's "flaws" fluctuate, sometimes being perfect, sometimes randomly getting an ego, losing it, then gaining it back. Gwen in uaf has no stated flaws, or at least ones that are intentional, but because of that, the ones she accidentally has are more toxic and weird than she ever did as a child. and Kevin? he's an amorphous concept. vaguely criminal. vaguely angry. a doormat. what's the issue with writing Kevin in a way where he really does feel like a homeless kid with addiction problems and enough trauma to have that dead look in his eyes forever? I don't know. I don't know where I'm going with this. give Kevin a little violence back.

doodle i did to destress

the secret saturdays omniverse crossover rlly incapsulates everything omniverse does wrong with women in how they interpreted drew. 1. women arent allowed to look like anything other than early 20s shitty western hentai characters even if theyve had kids and are probably in their 40s, 2. women arent allowed to do any saving besides minor mid battle sheilding even though in her very first appearance drew saved her husband's ass and then kept doing it from then on, and 3. all attractive/available women must be attractted to ben in some way, even drew who is married with a son his age (she does not opt out of most dangerous gameshow and puts effort into it) which is like so insane because drew is SO conscious about children and the wellbeing of children, shes always the first to point out zaks age, and shes extremely dedicated to her husband, so why would she throw that all away to marry a teen boy whos the SAME AGE as her son. im so sorry secret saturdays fans im sorry they did this to her

doing sketches like this for 5 dollars on my ko fi rn, i need funds

link here, just leave me a note about what you want

heyo, its been a long time since i did an analysis!! this time on a more controversial subject: Rook Blonko. And how I think he was robbed.

When you actually look at the way Rook is written in omniverse, they dont give him very much to work with. like revvonaganders and their culture are cool, but rook feels so underdeveloped as a person outside of his culture. hes kind of a gwen in a way; hes got bare minimum flaws but he's treated like hes in the right when hes doing something actually flawed. hes never condemned for treating ben the way he does and he doesnt even have a consistent arc. he doesnt feel like a teenager, he doesnt feel like he has any sort of character progression, hes just kinda there, and his lack of depth in character-to-character situations is only amplified by the lack of holding him accountable for negative traits he possesses, instead punishing ben or ignoring the behavior. Instead of writing a scenario where Rook is in the right and ben is in the wrong, or showing rook behaving poorly and have him learn from his actions, i can hardly think of a time where rook was shown to be wrong for his treatment of ben.

For example in a scenario where Ben is keeping personal information from Ben, and rook wants to know it for the sake of their partnership, instead of portraying Ben in the wrong properly by showing his keeping of said information being harmful to the public or his friendship to rook, or have the information be personally important to rook making Ben's keeping of it harmful, instead rook has scoured Ben's file for all information and is asking about something that is of no matter to him entirely because he doesn't know it. He pesters Ben incessantly even when Ben has told him firmly no. Tjis is a recurring issue, where it seems like the story wants rook to be right but is ignoring context and the way he goes about it.

This would be an aggravating issue but ignorable if rook had anything resembling a consistent arc, but he doesn't. the conflict of rook idolizing ben and meeting him and realizing hes not what rook thought he was is interesting, but its always treated as if bens in the wrong for not living up to rooks expectations. rook overstepping his boundaries with ben due to being a huge fan and maybe cultural differences is interesting, but its never portrayed as a flaw on rooks end, more like bens fault for keeping the information. his struggle with his culture and staying connected with it, his conflict with his father about his career path, his relationships to his siblings, him slowly watching revvonah be plundered for its resources as the series goes on, i love that, thats genuinely interesting. but they never talk about it outside of those episodes. rook is in the wrong often and it brings up a lot of interesting questions about him as a person, but they dont talk about that in favor of treating him as bens babysitter, or setting up a joke where ben is the punchline.

It's disappointing to me that rook was never given the attention he deserved. Like i said, there's a lot of good stuff in his framework that's just begging to be explored, but his lack of an arc makes him feel so one note after a while and really dampens his relationship with ben. Since rook is not a character on the same level as ben, he feels less like an equal like they tried to illustrate and more of a plot device. They even threw away the most interesting conflict between ben and rook; rook being book smart and ben being street smart, experience over training. Ben and Rook hardly ever have issues based on this other than rook misunderstanding a joke. This is why rook and ben feel like such a flat relationship to me.

all of this to say: rook fans. Please, for the love of god, work your magic. He's got all the pieces there, and i am certain you can do something special in fanworks about him. Don't let the show being lackluster hold you down.

much needed bevin snuggles (it is a literal crime they never hugged. not even in omniverse when theyre at their happiest? come awwwwn)

6 years later, same favorite alien

(thinking a lot about bens relationship with his human body. i like uaf trying to assert that ben was still strong and capable w out the watch, but i think it loses an aspect of his character that was always important, that being ben finding himself inadequate and weak in his human form and overusing the watch to escape it. i think thats why the feedback arc hit so hard, bens hatred of himself and his past over something that was never his fault, all stemming from his hatred of his human body. i personally interpret the feedback arc as less of a drug addiction metaphor [which if it is was pretty shittily written] and more of becoming consumed by what youre not. that theme with ben is most of the reason i relate to him and project on to him as a fellow transexual)

i know ive got some extra veins and extra nerves, im hoping one day acting cool will make me feel self assured

(if i had a nickel for every time ive drawn transgender vent art using gwen as a vehicle id have two nickels which isnt a lot but its weird i did it twice)

might get flack for this but you know what, i dont really enjoy the types of people that will give me flack, so ill say it. need people to realize that i can desire characters that are 16 or 17. why? BECAUSE I'M 18. I've heard about people getting anons saying I'm a 'freak' for things drawn when i was younger than the characters depicted, as if me breaching the legal threshold of adulthood makes me a pedophile for falling in fake love with characters i'd be peers with irl.

when i was in the ben 10 fandom, people often called me a bad person because they didnt enjoy i was a homosexual, and my art would be hyper scrutinized on the basis of that and deemed morally wrong because a character stood a certain way or I explored a certain relationship that happened to be homosexual or transsexual and it was constant. funny how this queer safe space is the same thing lol. i think yall need to realize who youre constantly pointing fingers at, because at a certain point the mere existence of sex seems to disturb you more than anything that's actually morally wrong. consentual sex that happens to depict a character crying, an exploration of trauma based in sex, a piece of trash on a page..... Am I getting off to this? Or am I simply speaking about it?

I'm not a 'proshipper' or whatever you wanna call it, those words mean nothing to me because I'm an adult. I'm a gay man who likes sex and has a healthy relationship with it, enough to talk about it neutrally. i need to take away the word 'fetishize' from you people, because I think you need to examine why you think sexuality in itself is a moral failing.

anyway. hunter the owl house and kevin e. levin ben 10 are my weed smoking girlfriends, and if you dont like it go to therapy.

the most wasted potential uaf ever had was the dagin arc, specifically the gwen possesion stuff. i need intrigue. psychological horror. a redheaded girl adorning the forever halls, swallowing swords and felling cities... or something

(Gwen's undying love for Ben is one of the most interesting parts of her character, because the way she goes about protecting him amplifies her savior complex more than anything. Ben comes first, doesn't matter if it's innocent aliens or her own family. They've been through so much together that she would rather the world burn than let it take Ben from her. i dont like the way gwen's written post 2006 series, but her massive savior complex is my favorite addition)

everyone can argue & defend snape all they want but tbh deep down irdgaf!! like at allll!!

his complexity & controversial actions is what makes him a great character .. in fact, I wish he was MORE of an asshole to everybody in that story actually!

Honestly, my main problem with people trying to paint Severus as the reincarnation of the devil is that he really wasn’t that bad of a person. I mean, within the world of Harry Potter, where the moral and emotional depth of the characters is flatter than an ironing board, sure, we can place him somewhere on the spectrum of morally gray characters. But in literally any other universe with an adult perspective and moral framework, he’d be nothing more than a mischievous puppy that trashed the house once, got punished for it, and never peed inside again.

He’s not even a bad guy—he’s just an insufferable bastard with psychological issues who made bad choices as a kid and then regretted them, all while keeping his bad temper. Honestly, I wish he had been more of a bastard. I would’ve thoroughly enjoyed it if he had let the dementors kill Sirius or poisoned one of Remus’ wolfsbane potions. And even if he had done that, I wouldn’t have thought it was that bad because, frankly, if you take revenge on your bullies, well… there’s a certain— I don’t know— a level of understanding to that.

But anyway, what exactly did he do that was so terrible? Objectively, what did he do that was so bad? We spend our lives fangirling over and worshipping characters who have committed mass genocides, killed children, left kids quadriplegic, burned down entire cities, and are complete psychopaths—yet suddenly, we get all moralistic over a character who followed a shitty cult when he was 17 or 18 and was later just a rude bastard to a handful of annoying kids? Seriously? What world do these people live in? Your upstairs neighbor is probably a worse person than he ever was.

Justifying the marauders being bullies is not only shitty and biased on the marauders fans part, but also contradictory to the Harry Potter franchise. I find it so funny seeing fans attempt to justify them as if their entire story isnt supposed to be a plot device for Harry, as if the bullying isn't supposed to shatter all of Harry's superficial views on his parents, and make him realize how truly shitty they had been. Or more specifically, how shitty James had been.

" What was making Harry so horrified and unhappy, was not being shouted at or having jars thrown at him, it was that he knew how it felt to be humiliated in the middle of a circle of on lookers, knew exactly how Snape had felt as his father had taunted him. And that judging from what he had just seen, his father had been every bit as arrogant as Snape had always told him. "

" I wouldn't like you to judge your father on what you saw there, Harry. He was only fifteen--"

"Im fifteen," said Harry heatedly.

The entire premise is supposed to be about Harry. Harry's realization, Harry coming to terms with reality. So you denying that the marauders were bullies is denying Harry's arc, its denying a whole plot point in the books. Regardless if you like Snape or not, one fact is clear, the marauders were bullies, they were all shitty people, Sirius' selfishness, Remus being the definition of a deadbeat, Peter being well, Peter. And James being the bully and bigot that he were, alongside the other marauders aswell.

Also its fine to enjoy the fanon versions, i do aswell. But its also important to acknowledge that they were shitty people and we shouldn't condemn them. Especially if you're talking about the bullying, because attempting to diminish someone's harassment is really low considering these are all fictional characters, whilst bullying is a real active issue.

studio ghibli movies must have:

You're laughing but if Ron had the option to get pregnant and carry his and Hermione's babies like a male seahorse he would.

Still trying to figure out a consistent look of Snape. I'll probably redraw this in the future to adjust the nose and eyes. But so far I like to draw him with moles tho 🥰

When will the albus severus name discourse in this fandom die omggg. I feel like people are missing a really crucial point when talking about this, which is that all of these characters’ lives were defined around war. No, ginny would not have an issue naming her son after snape because he was a dick to neville! Snape dedicated his entire life to fighting a war on the side she was on, a war that her whole family was heavily involved in, a war that she fought her entire sixth year, a war that took her brother's life, why in the world would she care about something so considerably petty like snape being a shit teacher when he fought and died heroically for her and her loved one's lives?

I respect him as a hero, but not as a father

Why can’t snape haters dislike him like normal people instead of saying he would be a pedophile or school shooter or something

Thinking about them again
