The reboot gang if they were the same age as their uaf counterparts

(Twitter is telling me Ben looks too gay, little do they know reboot Ben is the gayest Ben no contest)

[elsenborn]

Stay back, stay away

Reboot Kevin feels :(

[expired-blueberries]

still thinking about bevin and how insanely good it is and how much POTENTIAL it has and how practically nobody ships it. it literally has something in EVERY SERIES.

in original series, ben and kevin almost immediately befriended each other. this is notable because ben, as we know, canonically doesnt seem to have *any* friends before the road trip, and we can assume that kevin doesnt have any either. even after they stop being friends, ben CONSTANTLY and CONSISTENTLY tries to help kevin and CONTINUES giving him chances to get help and get better, even at his own detriment and sometimes the detriment of his family. even outside of these chances, we can see how ben's inability to protect and save kevin affects him through the rest of the series and the way he treats people.

in alien force, especially in seasons one and two, ben ALMOST IMMEDIATELY trusts and befriends kevin, despite the fact that he, perhaps more than literally anybody else that we know of, has the most reason not to do so. he is even constantly reiterating the fact that hes friends with kevin and that kevin is important to him. hell, in the VERY FIRST EPISODE, kevin punches a hole in ben (as swampfire)s stomach, and ben STILL befriends him. and kevin BEFRIENDS HIM BACK!!!!!!! kevin literally joins the tennyson team practically MINUTES after reuniting with them. HE LITERALLY LET VULKANNUS TURN HIM INTO A LIVING TADENITE STATUE JUST SO THAT HE COULD GET THE HOLO FOR BEN!!!!!!!!!

ultimate alien is a mixed bag, i wont even try to argue that. but what we do know is that prior to the ultimate kevin arc, it was KEVINS turn to reiterate how much ben means to him. they have MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS about it!!! and kevin RISKED HIS LIFE (again!!!) during the ultimate sacrifice just to get ben help when he was trapped in the omnitrix with the ultimates!!! and even AFTER THE ULTIMATE ARC, kevin and ben wordlessly walked off into the sunset TOGETHER. not kevin and gwen. not even kevin, gwen, and ben. it was just the two of them.

in omniverse, there was LITERALLY THE ROOTERS ARC. 12 year old kevin who carried around a picture of ben all the time. from hedorium to eternity, where even when ben and kevin were butting heads the entire time, ben was the first one to jump into action to try and save kevin. ben trusting kevin during the entirety of the rooters arc, from the second he went to warn kevin about the rooters, to he and kevin fighting in the hallway, ben never once gave up on kevin.

even in reboot, when ben and kevin are, again some of each others only friends. its in the way that kevin genuinely seems to think theyre best friends even from the moment we meet them, despite knowing that ben doesnt feel the same way. its in the way ben and kevin eventually end up fighting seemingly out of habit before they just go off to play and have fun and just be kids together. its in the way that kevin and ben always had each others backs when they needed it. its in the way that kevins obsession with ben reads more like a crush he doesnt know how to handle than in a frenemy relationship. its in the way that ben looks out for kevin even when hes told he shouldnt.

LIKE I JUST!!!!!!!! im not going to bash on other ships. i am NOT going to bash on other ships. but i just dont understand how it is that more people dont ship them.

Recently watched the Ben 10 reboot properly and I found it much more enjoyable from the moment Vilgax showed up onward.

My favorite part of the show was definitely the rivalry between Ben and Kevin in Season 3! A shame only that Kevin didn't officially join Team Tennyson by the end of the movie.

[radio-star8]

This show cannot be real...

No way bro got insulted then turned into a wolf😭 we got to pray for little bro

Happy 7th Anniversary to the Ben 10 Reboot!!!

This series is (unpopular opinion I'm probs gonna get killed for) one of my favorite shows to watch, as well as one of my comfort shows. I've been a fan of it since I was in middle school and am still a fan of it to this day as a sophomore in college. While it does have its flaws, I still have fond memories of it and always will.

Fun Fact/Update: I was originally going to post a post (no pun intended) talking about a B10RB rewrite/au project of mine I'm developing called Ben 10 Reboot Reimagined, but I couldn't finish it in time for the 7th anniversary (which I truly apologize for), but I do plan on posting it sometime this month when I finish it.

Commission for TheNuclearPowerBrain, Kevin on his amalgam form from the episode "Witch Watch" from the reboot in OV style.

If you want a commission, send me a DM. Also support me on patreon, www.patreon.com/RZGMON200

[kunoichi-kame]

I love the Ben 10 reboot but also I will be eternally angry that Kevin's story arc never wrapped up. They were kinda ambiguously like "yeah he's alive in the future also he's Humungorapt" without ever finding him in the present or giving him a happy ending.

[fictionaladoptionpolls]

I've gone through all the submissions!

Submissions: 105 (a few of which submitted multiple characters)

Re-submissions to add more detail: 2

Characters submitted: 92

Characters nobody submitted who are being included because I think they should be included (mostly because I would have submitted them if someone else was running the bracket): ...um...18

Most-submitted character: Eri, My Hero Academia (4)

Most-submitted character I had not previously heard of: Naru Kotoishi, Barakamon

Franchise with the most entries: Pretty Cure (9)

Individual anime with the most entries: The Case Study of Vanitas (4)

Characters named "Maria": 2

Dragons: 4.5 (not all from Fire Emblem)

Still a lot of stuff to do before I start posting polls, not the least of which being how to efficiently run a double-elimination bracket with 110 members. (I guess I could track down 18 anime kids to make it an even power of 2, but then I'd be running a poll that's ~¼ characters chosen entirely by me, which feels kinda ridiculous.) But I figured I should let people know how things are going.

Full list of characters in the bracket below the cut.

The following list is in alphabetical order. For characters with both personal and family names, I alphabetized by family names. (Except when I mistook which name was which, because the internet cannot decide whether to use Japanese name order or European name order, which isn't a problem except when it makes people like me worry about whether they're naming characters wrong.)

Please let me know if you notice some kind of mistake in this list. Like a name I spelled wrong or an alias I associated with the wrong character or if one of the characters I didn't recognize is a dragon or something.

[electraslight]

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)

[frostthunderknight]

If I were to choose a voice actor for kid Peter, my choice for the voice actor of kid Peter is Gregory Michael Cipes, who voices Kevin Levin from Ben 10: Alien Force/Ultimate Alien or Beast Boy from Teen Titans 2003 series.

Greg Cipes should voice kid Peter Petrikov:

Kid Peter sounds like Kevin Levin from the Ben 10 2016 reboot series.

[ben-10-setting-omnicrom]

While I've never written any posts about their relationship in length... imo I don't need to when this one shot shows what makes their relationship utterly fascinating.

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/11985065/1/Weaker-Than-Starlight

Mana energy of Gwen Tennyson, meet black hole, Kevin Levin. And again and again, for the rest of your lives.

Ben 10, T, English, Romance, words: 3k+, favs: 43, follows: 12, Jun 6, 2016, [Gwen T., Kevin]

Their relationship is fascinating and the potential of their possible Osmosian/Anodite kid both plot and power wise is basically incalculable.

Their relationship is easily the best one in the series, besides Verdona and Max... not that there was much competition of course given Ben's love interests being done for of toxic and abusive.

Maybe you talked about or maybe not. What do you think about gwevin. I saw your main post are about Ben’s relationships, so if you talked about it, I m sorry for bothering you again. I love the way you write and explain your pov, it’s really cool.

I've mentioned something about them before but I've never written like, an essay length thoughts on Gwevin post. And that's mostly cause (big surprise) the main reason I watched the show was for my favourite character. Which is Ben obvi :P

But that isn't to say I don't I understand the appeal of Gwevin. In fact as someone who didn't watch the show through the lens of a "hardcore shipper" or anything, I thought they were written believably enough that I never really questioned their chemistry, unlike a lot of Ben's romantic relationships. I think their relationship has been built well enough to where it's kind of accepted as an established relationship by the general viewer. And they do make each other better people, which cements a beautiful, mutually fulfilling sentiment. Love that for them.

That isn't to say there are no flaws, but those flaws really do stem from romance - and romantic conflicts specifically - not being the writer's strong suit. I have to agree that their feelings developed very quickly, and some of those episodes where they had Kevin be unfaithful, or have him say blatantly sexist things to his girlfriend's face (who would be smart enough to notice) really weren't the best choices for sources of plot conflict.

Any other posts I made regarding them should be under the tags I'll drop below, so click on those if you want.

This is literally what Bullfrag has underneath that suit of his:

[c4tb0y0]

Ben 10 reboot hcs because no one else is making them :)

Just a tiny bit obsessed with the reboot tbh

Kevin loves Tim Burton movies and cried when he first watched the corpse bride

Ben sleep talks, Gwen sometimes films it

Gwen is Ben's personal tutor for when school comes around again

Ben, Gwen and Kevin paint each other's nails

Ben picks up random stuff from the ground as memories (coins, papers etc)

Ben has one stuffie it is a dragon

Kevin sometimes comes round just to beat the crap out of Ben's stuffie

Ben can't be mad at someone for more than 5 seconds dude just isn't built like that

Kevin and Ben got super interested in wwe and watch it atleast once a week together

Gwen likes flower pressing and has so many books because of it

Ben loves looking in the flower pressing books

One time he ripped one out by accident it was the one of the times he saw Gwen in near tears

Kevin gets panic attacks regularly, Ben and Gwen know that and try to calm him down as much as they can

Gwen and Kevin have secret outings sometimes they just hang around in the park being chaotic

Ben found out about these and now hijacks them regularly especially when Kevin is about to muster up the courage to make a move on Gwen like holding hands etc

[crysi9988]

Kevin: "Take it off and I'll give you 10 bucks."

Ben: "Oh boy 10 bucks." (proceeds to try and take the watch off)

Gwen: "No, Ben your watch is worth more than 10 bucks."

Ben: "Hey your right, make it 20."

Gwen: (Glares)
