#ben is glory

Watching Yamcha try to convince the rest of his friends that Jackie Chun is Master Roshi is just hilarious. They're all so oblivious.

It reminds me of Buffy season 5 where Spike tries to convince the gang that Ben is Glory. Although they had the excuse of a spell cast over them to avoid people knowing the truth.

Goku, Bulma, Krillin and the rest had no excuses.

literally one of the funniest scenes in the buffyverse. right up there with...

[forsakenqueer]

The contrast between Giles always taking off and cleaning his glasses when the Scoobies are doing something stupid and it being played as a joke vs the way he carefully and purposely puts them on so he has to really look at what he's doing when he kills Ben. btvs doesn't always hit it out of the park but when it does it really does

Giles

Oops I am a little drunk again and thinking about Giles from Buffy. "She's a hero, you see. She's not like us," he says, then murders the hell out of Ben/Glory so Buffy never has to. Buffy has the drive and the fortitude. Buffy has the skills and the will. Giles ... has knowledge, and he has darkness. But within the darkness is the light of sparing Buffy that corruption. Giles is the generational filtering of trauma. He works with the darkness in a way that means Buffy has to work with different darkness, darkness for her generation, darkness for her to filter, but not Giles's darkness, not his generation's. He carries his load; she carries hers. It's not exactly parental, it's more about respect. I dunno, Giles should often act differently than he does, but sometimes to carry the load he should carry he has to work with the darkness that he carries and that Buffy must not be made to carry.

(After the Lost Heir)

Clay:Tsunami are you…crying?

Glory:(sarcastically)daw, she does have a heart

Tsunami:(sniffles)Yeah, that’s what poor people have instead of money…

I ultimately find Ben a very uninteresting character, and I think the problem is they ruined him by focusing too hard on the mystery of his connection with Glory and his intentions.

Because prior to the reveal Ben is painted as someone who acts like a good guy, but in private is actually very self-centered. Like, he hates Glory, but on a personal level not a moral level, and he doesn’t actually care what she does except in as far as it makes things inconvenient for him. Honestly, I don’t know if it’s intentional or not, but it kind of comes off like he is one of the other two Hell Gods from the same dimension as Glory, but he’s just trying to settle in and live his life here on Earth and finds all of Glory’s nonsense annoying. Which by the way could have been a really interesting concept for the character (not saying what they should have done, but better than what they did at least.)

But then we get the reveal that Ben and Glory are the same person, and now all the sudden Ben just is this really good guy who is trying to protect Dawn from Glory and he’s been the restraining voice in the back of Glory’s head this whole time. Which also is a fine and interesting concept for a character, genuinely really good person who is forced to body share with a Hell God, but that’s not what he’s been up until this point so it’s hard to get invested in it now. And then he betrays Dawn to Glory to save himself and it’s like, sure why not, makes as much sense as anything.

It also takes the punch out of both Buffy choosing to let him live and Giles choosing to kill him. Because Ben is innocent and good enough that it makes sense that Buffy would choose to let him live, but he’s selfish enough that I can’t get to worked up over the moral grayness of Giles killing him to save the world the way I could if Ben were genuinely completely innocent.

Also why were there not more Ben and Dawn parallels? They were both once something very old and very powerful, shoved into a purely mortal human body. Neither of them have any memories of their past self and they both just want to live their lives, but said past self is proving a threat to their normal mortal existence. Like, you could do a lot of stuff with that!

ANOTHER SILLY WTDW AU!!! LETS GO!!

Basically Ben and Alyssa (Pop and Glory) get released from the freezer through a series of unfortunate events (their animatronic bodies are basically lifeless husks), and regaining their memories. After being released, the two are forced to work at the facility as janitors, and are one of the few workers to work nightshifts (They barely interact with the animatronics, it's always a weird experience.)

Both of them hate it, but are basically being held at gunpoint to stay at this job. Also the building collapsed again and the virus came back, angst ensues.

the official art for the folk of the air series is sooo stunning. but is there any official art of hazel and jack from the darkest part of the forest 🥺

It's so easy to forget that Ben saves Giles's life. Another little poetic twist of fate.
