I just wanna say that I love your Ben 10 essays! They’re really insightful and honestly there aren’t enough people defending Ben.

OMG THNX!!!

I put a lot of thought into them, that’s why it takes me a while to get them out sometimes. I really want to make sure my point comes across clearly and it makes logical sense.

And I really want them to make an impact on those reading! Maybe even change their mind on something, or allow them to consider a different perspective in the very least.

I recently stumbled into Ben 10 and I’m really, REALLY fucking glad to find a blog run by someone who loves Ben so much! He just seems to get a lot of unnecessary hate from the fanbase when he’s a much more caring and selfless person than people, and it’s nice to find someone who just debunks a lot of the shit he gets. A message I have for (my beautiful, wonderful adopted son) Ben – as well as this blog is – “YOU’RE DOING AMAZING, SWEETIE!!!”

OMG THANK YOU!!! ❤

And you can bet that I will continue to do so to the best of my ability!! It’s a pleasure, really! (In fact, I got some more essays in progress right now because some of this stuff I read just…concerning to say in the least)

Also welcome to the fandom!! and don’t hesitate to talk Ben 10 to me ;3c

I do enjoy the Ben 10 reboot (even moreso after Season 2), but I also enjoy the OS, Alien Force, and Omniverse. Ultimate Alien had some good stories, but it kinda faltered during some points.

I personally can’t dislike anything that carries the name Ben 10. That’s why I say that I love all the series pretty equally.

There are some aspects of certain characters that I don’t like, but in the end I don’t watch the show for them. Regarding my last essay, I think it’s pretty clear who I watch the show for lol

Reboot Ben is hella cute too ♡

what would you and Ben’s child would look like?

taking advantage of my thirst…lol u guys aren’t fair 

I understand that it may seem like a cute concept, just as cute as imagining your OTP’s future wedding or anything of the sort, and I’ve seen many fangirls do so when they ship their OCs with Ben…but it honestly makes me question if they really do “love him” when that is what they jump to immediately. It makes it worse when they do the same thing with multiple other conventionally attractive fictional male characters…

When you really care about someone, that may be a thing that you think about or consider, but it isn’t something that should be rushed or obsessed over before all else.

There is so much more to loving someone than obsessing over how to make them officially “yours” so that no one else can have them. 

Love is about appreciation, not possession. 

To answer your question though…both Kat and Ben are white with brown hair so it isn’t that hard to imagine what they would look like. Self explanatory, really.

How do you feel about Demiboy Ben who doesn’t give a fuck about gender norms?

I say let him be whatever makes him happy!!

I know there are quite a few of us who like to pick and chose what they want a character to be or not be, regardless of whether it is canon or not. But I (even though it may sound silly since he is a ‘fictional character’ and therefore anything said about him can be interpreted as true or false since he cannot vocally disagree) believe it isn’t my place to judge not only him but anyone else who chooses to have a certain perspective on gender identity.

If that is something he wouldn’t “give a fuck about” then go right ahead and don’t give a fuck about it.

And aside from that, who would I be to say that I love him only when he is a certain way? That’s why I never come up with those fun “bencanons” because…I just don’t want to put words in his mouth.

I fell in love with the Ben that was presented to me.

If this were to be another aspect of the way he presents himself, great ♡

God the Kevin fangirls are at it again. Every chance they get. There is one that is reviewing the reboot rn, and keeps shitting on it for every little thing. They are entitled to their opinion but it just gets on my nerves how Kevin fangirls will go out of their way to make Ben seem like a piece of shit and Kevin out to be an angel. I know you already talked about it before but I just needed to vent to someone lol

I think I might have read the post you are referring to. 

sigh

Here’s what I think.

If someone these days believes a certain aspect of a show or how a character in a show such as the Ben 10 Reboot is written is wrong or bad or whatever…I think that they might just be wasting their energy. 

You need to keep in mind the Reboot will never be up to the standard of the the original continuity of the series, but that is because it was not intended to be. 

The reboot (although I do think it is cute and far better than many of the other recent ‘reboots’) is it’s own thing entirely. I see it as a tribute to the best aspects and characters that the original continuity of the Ben 10 series has introduced throughout the years of continuing the franchise. 

It’s not as serious.

It’s not the OS! 

And that doesn’t make it completely bad! 

But don’t expect it to be something it’s not intended to be. 

Putting down one character/ putting another on a pedestal is just their wrongful perception that probably comes out of a place in their mind that has to do with their own personal biases and ideologies.
