inaugurating the reposts of my old art on this acc with something i have never actually put on tumblr ✨

Watching omniverse and the reboot made me wanna do my own version of the little guys, it was originally an AU but I got lazy with it

The onmitrix here it's actually a prototype, Vilgax attacked before it could be finish, which explains the glitches it sometimes has and why the need to recharge

I'm not a fan of Gwen's pink magic, like yeah she's an anodite and they're pink or whatever, but blue is Gwen's characteristic color and she looks so girlboss with it!

Aso Kevin is not an alien but a mutant, in Ben's world some humans are born with powers because reasons, kinda like the xmens, this would explain characters like the circus freaks or Cooper

So yeah

Everyone (including me) going crazy over the (un?)doomed yaoi, canon Yuri and doomed straights is cool and all but

CAN WE AGREE THESE TWO WERE THE REAL MVPS ???

I love omniverse but I hate what they did with Benkai. It could have worked if they didn't write it the way they did but I can't stand how it's meant to be like a bickering couple trope. I hate those kind of couples and it was too last minute. I just don't like how she treats Bens aliens as if they aren't him I know it's meant to be a jokey thing but it just comes off as rude. Like oh no I meant your alien. And it sometimes really isn't in a joking tone for her. 1/2

2/2 I feel like that sort of thing could cause a lotta resentment. I also feel like it could give kids the wrong impression for relationships. Like the way Kai treats Ben should not be shown as good at all. Bickering couples rarely ever works. It might give kids the idea that hey it's okay to be rude and condescending to someone you like. It's that dumb girls treat boys they like badly trope as well. Which has the same problems as bickering couples

I like that you brought up the fact that their relationship should not be framed as good at all, and I would add especially since they're also trying to frame them as an "endgame" relationship. That makes normalizing it in animation even worse. Pushing through borderline abuse for some true love destiny hanging over your heads? Lol let's not glorify that narrative.

When I talk about Benkai's "dynamic," I'm usually coming from the perspective of Ben not being deserving of this kind of end (game) for his story because he's the best boy, but you've got the right idea in saying this could influence people in real life. Absolutely.

merlin is the best tv show ever bc every episode arthur is like “oh that’s my attention seeking whore, merlin. what is it now, dumbass?” meanwhile the merlin and morgana subplot:
