Okay guys i did it

I made a blorbo bingus for us since i think we all deserve an enstars character with an eyepatch. I think we should pretend he's cannon just to screw with newbies. we need to come up with an absolutely rediculous backstory for him, a list of crimes, and like, names. any ideas?

We all get to own him by the way, this is OUR collective blorbus. I'm going to make a poll soon so we can start voting on traits for him like hes a sim

Because Ben 10 introduced mutants in OS as a baseline ‘they exist’ presence to a ‘Ben has encountered multiple mutant individuals across the states in one (1) summer roadtrip’ ratio of commonality, I’ve been thinking about how mutants in Ben’s Earth are actually out and about in conjunction with alien life before they were able to legally exist as aliens in human public when OV rolls around. And because I’ve been thinking as much as I have, I think I can have my cake and eat it too when it comes to whether or not Kevin is mutant or osmosian-

Let’s start off by introducing a little term I’ve been calling pseudo-human (or pseudo-humanity). I’ve been using this in my head in reference to aliens or alien hybrids (human/alien hybrids or Earthling alien/alien hybrids) born on Earth during the prior to Omniverse just introducing legal recognition of alien residency, and the whole ‘pseudo-human’ coming from the concept of being raised to be or as a human despite otherwise. This does not apply to adults who have immigrated to Earth as they have extraterrestrial heritage, even if they have lived a long time on Earth having to pretend to be human (whether that form comes under perhaps plumber provided ID masks - I guess if your immigration is recognised by the plumbers - along with inserted human documentation that only specific levels of government know is in fact a plumber provided documentation, by shapeshifting a la lenopan or anodite immigration, or those that keep VERY MUCH to themselves because ‘woops that’s not human’ is something they can’t very much help without the mutant community existing as a safety net). And pseudo-humanity doesn’t inherently mean ‘no connection to alien culture’, it just means that what ever alien community there is (whether it’s kept to family or extended to a much larger group), the kid still in that period of not being legally recognised as a person has to pretend to be human if they’re a participant of society, raised as one instead in the absolute lack of extraterrestrial community.

This term would apply to three of my OCs, the previously mentioned and created live on screen the crystal twins Lucía and Blanca - one human passing, the other not - and the ‘has been sitting in DMs’ lead singer of the all alien band Thing/s Jed - a lenopan/loboan who with the power of shapeshifting REALLY gets to pretend to be human - who grew up with pseudo-humanity. But what I find interesting about this is that indeed, this term could even apply to the Plumber’s Kids too.

If I recall, it was Manny and Helen that had come across as indeed confused as being referred to as aliens. For all they knew they were Earthlings, and yes they are, but they have existed (along with Pierce) on Earth potentially under the assumption of - let’s hear it - mutants! In a Ben 10 world that mutants exist in, especially open enough for Ben to randomly encounter multiple individuals across the US in only one summer’s worth of roadtrip, what else would one assume you’d be if you were born on Earth and have a human parent? Even Alan Albright was just ‘suddenly’ a pyronite one moment, waking up to a burnt bed that he left without injury. Heck- Pierce could have (if mutant league wrestling competitions were broadcast) just identified as a mutant since Porcupine and Gaterboy were indeed siblings, in fact if they actually could watch older episode or even grew up on them Manny could see Fourarms and go ‘Hey that’s me!’ under the same assumption of being a mutant.

And tell me - tell me to my face - why wouldn’t there be, with as many mutants as there are, why indeed wouldn’t there be a mutant community? It’s part of the reason why I my Mutants and Magic au acts as my OC verse in conjunction, characters like Jed, Lucía and especially Blanca (who cannot begin to pass let alone know she’s specifically an alien) would have a better chance of having just some sort of community if mutants were around already having to deal with ‘not being human enough’ for non-mutant humans, because so long as there are mutants, pseudo-humans can find a culture that connects them to something if they cannot find community in extraterrestrial peoples.

And this, my friends, indeed turns to Kevin Ethan Levin, a runaway so human passing that even his powers hide beneath his skin. Though this kid had no community to fall to, though this kid had no alien culture to connect with, he exists as someone that can call to the mutant community just as other pseudo-humans can. Just as the Plumber’s Kids identify with the mutant community, presented perhaps as spectacles to gawk at on TV screens (one of the easiest ways a mutant could earn a living) yet human all the same, Kevin can fall under the community of folk just being human, no matter what others say. The developments in Kevin’s identity of instead being an alien - an osmosian - is really just an evolution of what information about himself is known, and though perhaps it is not quite the same as going from ‘i don’t differentiate attraction between genders’ bisexual to ‘okay so equal attraction just means 0/0′ asexual discovery, but like- isn’t that just more interesting?

And - AND - this means that I don’t have to retcon the Rooters from all this either, another bonus. It could indeed be that Kevin was identified as a mutant - Servantis certainly has a point of reference what with mutants being just another part of the Ben 10 world - it’s not like the Rooter’s are up to date about the universe outside of the Null Void. What does Servantis know of Aggregor, of the Andromeda 5, of perhaps even the Map to Infinity?

Anyway I hope that was cohesive enough- idk if pseudo-human sounds a little slurry or not I guess you could say this is a peer review non-beta read little post of mine but like- it sounds more like a clinical term rather than a community name but eh. Just really wanted to like... establish that mutants have an actual impact on the world so... I hope you like it!

i am an indecisive person. in every other fandom before this my blorbos had short hair, so i made their hair long. now my blorbo cyno has canon long hair, so what can i do but write tragic scenes where it's chopped short

[chalicechipper]

[anachronistic-falsehood]

hey, I've posted the first chapter of my Furnace fic :)

Title: nosebleeds

Summary: Gary Owens survived the apocalypse.

What brought on the apocalypse, one might ask. That's not for him to say. Alex told their story already, a nonstop stream of words for five days straight. And now it's over. Furnace's monsters are dead, the world is recovering, and more and more survivors keep crawling out of the woodwork. There's nothing to fight, nothing to hide from, nothing to be scared of.

Which begs the question: what the hell is he supposed to do with himself now?

-

Gary and a few others somehow survive the apocalypse, and now none of these kids have any idea what to do with themselves. Updates may be sporadic, but will likely be at least once a month or more. :3

[gorillaxyz]

nobody told me how fun it is posting abt real life men as if they were fictional characters

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwthe skrungly booboo the doopy scoop. idk

[elgatodeltren]

hmmm why aren’t we talking about knuckles

[oscconfessions]

the osc will be like “ouh my blorbo my lovely bingus he deserves the entire world” about a character and then immediately draw themselves lowering that same character into a paper shredder

The original blorbo bingus, Mishima!!

Yes, this was the first character that gained the Blorbo Bingus title among my comfort characters. I don't think that'll shock any of you if you've seen any of my Persona reblogs over the past 4 years

Can you tell I got into the zone? I thought I had no energy to draw after Ken, got up and ate some food and went "No! I'm hooking everything back up, I can do this!" And 3 hours later we are here (Yes 3 hours. Sketching took 45 alone because I could not be happy with it, and the phone alone took a DANG HOUR to mimic, end me)

You get the seperate of the icon because I actually like it! Tho every time I draw him I swear he looks so different, I'm trying I swear!!

Extra info and things below cut

An extra song I associate with him is Can't Wait by The Living Tombstone

- Another food I associate him with is Steak, due to the diner

- I associate him with a Rabbit, since: he's the moon card, very flighty, fast runner, and then he matches with Akira/Ren who's a cat.

I’m genuinely messed up over scout. like how does he do this, irl he’s just a mid-ass white guy but he’s just so bingus silly guy blorbo he won’t get out of my head

[sieglinde-freud]

anyways one thing about me in every run of houses or hopes i play, i cannot kill ashe. its a rule i set for myself in 2019 because at the time, he was my little blorbo bingus fav whatever the hell and even if hes not my SUPER fav anymore, i take him everywhere with me like im a small child with a worn stuffed animal. this works out ok in houses, but everytime i play hopes i save him and my god he sounds like he’d be better off dead. every time i chat with the guy hes like “oh god im a traitor i hate myself dimitri should kill me dead and spit on my grave oh god now ingrids dead and its my fault (he didnt come to that battle)” like BUDDY… im sorry 😭😭😭😭

[cinnamonrollorder]

I took one look at Ballister’s big sad puppy dog eyes and knew he would be my new blorbo bingus

I was correct. He is my pathetic little meow meow and I support him and his equally puppy-like husband /positive

[decepti-thots]

Minimus for blorbo bingus!

truly he is VERY blorbo bingus to me. i love him. you are all going to get so goddamn sick of me talking about minimus during this mtmte/ll reread for the record. you will wish this little green man had never been conceived of. LMAO.

but also, fandom needs to be meaner to him because if there's one thing i know in my heart it is that the fanon way everyone remembers him is wrong. he's WAY more of an asshole than you remember, i promise. this is why he is great. he's also more unhinged. stop the dadification of minimus 2024. remember when this man tried to fistfight fucking overlord. god fucking bless. you can Literally always ask me about minimus and it is in fact the easiest way to summon me, whether you want to or not.

TTRPG OC names and their meanings

inspired by @sylvienerevarine, meanings taken from behindthename

I don't think I need to say much about Perseus, my beloved Blorbo Bingus. He was a templar in a homebrew D&D 5e campaign setting called Turrillium Tales, with his final multiclass being Bloodhunter/Cleric!

Eren is one of my currently played characters being part of a homebrew D&D 5e isekai campaign. I love them so much, they're such a rat bastard who causes problems on purpose. Currently their class is Bard with a level of Fighter.

Allyn was a character for a one-shot in Turrillium where chances of survival were very slim. And yeah, they didn't survive. I think they were an Artificer Warlock, playing them as a sniper which was really weird and fun.

Cassian was a wizard and my first evil character ever, playing in a homebrew D&D 5e setting called the Iron Cities. He eventually ended up in the hands of the DM after I clicked that the entity we faced was the Hungry Prince and had Cassian immediately switch sides. The DM was shocked I'd made the connection so quickly (literally within the first minute). He underestimated how much of a lore-whore I am :3

Matthieu is a Pathfinder 2e character I'll be playing soon, hopefully! I have successfully made a character that half the players are simping for, which I'm very proud of. He's a changeling swashbuckler who can do no wrong despite his past murder.

Orion was a character for a D&D campaign that survived only one session which I'M DEFINITELY NOT UPSET ABOUT, NO, NOPE, DEFINITELY NOT. I wrote a lot of lore and backstory for her but it was all super specific to that homebrew setting so I don't think I'll get to play her again without some major revamping. She was a druid of the stars!

Baine was another Turrillium character for a side campaign. She was a weird Monk/Cleric multiclass based on healing as much as possible. She made the other party members do impromptu art therapy.

Morrigan is another character I'm currently playing in a magical school setting! She's very sweet and vulnerable to peer pressure. She got sent to the tornado zone three times in a row and she did not like it at all.

Ataraxis was originally made for a Curse of Strahd campaign that died after one session and a few years later, I was able to bring them back to hop into another campaign! They were a paladin/bard multiclass. Sea shanty paladin!!!! Also the second of my characters to have a threesome???????

Natela was a character for a two-shot in the same setting as Eren. It was very fun playing as someone from the world, rather than someone who got isekai-ed into it. She was a bard and a delightful little bastard.

I play a lot of bards and a lot of bastards, I'm sorry :(
