Ben 23

[PREV] Ben 10 Design and Story - Part 3

Ben Tennyson always looked up to his grandfather, Max, even more than his own parents. When he passed away suddenly Ben went into a depressive rut, his grades falling and failure to keep people close to him were only a few of the side effects. He put on a smile most days but inside he was struggling. Ben's parents were very concerned about his depression, especially at such a young age. During the first week of summer vacation his parents took time off work to take him on a camping trip. This is where an alien pod came from the sky and Ben discovered the Hero Watch, an alien device that let him transform into different alien species.

After Ben discovered what powers the Hero Watch was able to give him he decided to help protect people who could not protect themselves, like his grandfather. Before Ben 23 got the chance to use his powers to help people he decided to post a video of himself transforming to the internet and continuously did so multiple times during his week camping with his parents. Most believed it was special effects until on the way back home the evil Dr Vegeto (a scientist who mutated food into monsters) attacked a nearby mall. Ben jumped into action and defeated the scientist, little known to him it was being filmed live and people across America saw it on the news. Not long after, Ben's fight was known to the whole world.

Thanks to the massive support from famous newscaster and television host Will Harangue, Ben become even more famous and dubbed himself Ben 23. He started live streaming his fights with villains and grew a large ego. A VERY large ego. Using his Hero Watch he defeated anyone evil. He mostly stayed in Bellwood where he befriended billionaire child Billy Billions and together they started Ben 23 Inc. Ben had movie deals and many sponsorships, his most well known being from a fast food chain called Gyro Time.

Ben 23 used his money he gained from monetizing his hero work to give his parents and himself a lavish lifestyle, even having a giant tower commissioned that on the top floor had his own private penthouse. He called it Tower 23.

Eventually, beings from outer space got word of the Hero Watch and many went to try and take it for themselves. Ben 23 started a campaign against "evil aliens". He did not take into account of aliens that may be trying to help, or ones that live normal lives and Ben unknowingly gained a prejudice to all aliens, which his fans and followers copied. Ben 23 found out an alien by the name of the Intellectuary was sending aliens to take the Hero Watch away from him and Ben decided to press harder on his "evil aliens" campaign, not thinking about why someone might want the Hero Watch.

Notes: This one is actually mostly fanfic! woohoo! I hope you enjoyed :3

I'm at 1:49:23 in the misfits and magic holiday special and Evan just had a realization about the underdog-to-success power shift that I think a LOT of people desperately need to internalize lol. Plus K coming in with the "My internet mobs! Maybe we WEREN'T the good guys!" I am dying of laughter over here. It's so true, a lot of people spend their whole lives thinking that all of their actions are justified no matter what because they have been discriminated against or oppressed or treated badly in some way and it just doesn't work like that. You gotta check in with yourself and be like, hey wait, is what I'm doing still good/justified in this moment? It's not automatically good or correct by virtue of who you are/ what you've been through.

I don’t know what roguish ability Riz has that prevents him from rolling below a ten, but DAMN does it come in handy to prevent bad-luck-Murph rolls

Hyperfixations are such a strange phenomenon like you watch an appealing show and suddenly you haven't eaten in 23 hours and you are thousands of fanworks down the rabbit hole of fixation

[justletmeon12]

Watching the third Adventuring Party for Misfits and Magic, and it's bizarre to hear Mulligan talking about the verbose kid who provoked and bullied other kids at camp having heard his UR OK spot.

Also, was I the only kid in the US who made it to adulthood without significant fisticuffs? I can count on one hand the times I punched another child who wasn't my sibling growing up.

[poemsonmars]

you have been cursed

for as long as you know;

somedays it feels like

it is the only thing that you

actually do know anymore,

but that doesn't automatically

make you the monster, sweet child.

you are allowed to be good,

even if you have to fight for it;

especially if you have to fight.

you do not have to choose

this narrative of martyrdom

just because it is

the only one that you know.

you are allowed to be good.

you do not have to die for it.
