#he’s with ben again

treasure planet au, last of the batch (Poppy & Floyd)

one of my favorite parts about that scene in season 3 episode 7 of the umbrella academy is right after the umbrellas and sparrows “contained” the keugelblitz and celebrate by opening several bottles of alcohol and partying, because in every single shot ben is in, he’s either trying to get himself or five as wasted as possible

[vibinginthebg]

Still some doodles of them :DD

[flavoredmagpie]

1: Ben’s death… we don’t know what happened

2: The monsters inside of him did it

3: History is going to repeat itself if we don’t

4: Ben didn’t know, its not his fault

5: He’s still my brother, I’m not giving up on him

6: Its under my skin, I’m ready to burst

7: Not this time

Real talk tho that therapist Spider-Man needs to get fired cuz what the hell was that.

That was so insensitive like bro you aren't even funny 💢

[beelxebub]

i totally get why people make the captain a military man or ex-military in modern AUs because it makes sense but i personally believe he would simply be one of those middle aged autistic men whose special interest is wwii military vehicles

I always see things on here about Ben's muteness and how it's gonna bite him in the ass one day, like if he ever is in danger and isn't able to scream or ask anyone for help. But, I raise you all an even sadder scenario.

Imagine Ben being the only one to notice a potential threat endangering someone in the group, particularly someone like Aiden or Taylor who Ben cares a LOT for. Imagine he is maybe somewhere behind the group and has a better view, or maybe he's just the first one to notice, but either way, someone he cares about is moments away from getting jumped by a phantom and getting seriously injured or even dying, and one of three things could happen:

Due to his muteness, he doesn't say a word. He tries to get their attention by making a bunch of noise or waving his arms around, but they just don't notice him, and he watches as one of the people closest to his heart is ripped apart while he could do nothing to warn them.

He decides that, if there is ever a time to forgo his muteness for the good of his friends, now is that time. He warns them, and they end up okay, but the whole group is a little put off by the sound of Ben's damaged, gravelly voice. Meanwhile, Ben is in pieces, haunted by how disgusting and horrifying his voice sounds, so much so that he can't hardly look any of his friends in the eyes for the rest of the day. It fills him with rage and shame that he can't just have a normal voice like everyone around him. Why did he have to be different?

And lastly, my personal favorite, and by far the angstiest, is that Ben decides to use his voice to warn his friends, but after so many years of not using it, no sound comes out. He was relying on them being able to hear him, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't get out a sound above a whisper. He's doing everything possible in his power; screaming, crying, begging, but nothing gets through. His screams are silent as he watches someone he cares for more than anyone in this world get torn apart because he was too angry and depressed to speak for so many years after he got attacked. If he had just gotten over it, got back into talking, and made the recovery everyone wanted him to have, his friend would still be standing there. But they aren't, because Ben failed to protect them.

this was so sexy of him

[roachingurcoach]

okay I don't really know how to frame this. but like. funniest way to confirm Dean is Ben's dad is

20 year-old Ben takes a genetics test for fun or whatever, and the results he gets back are just batshit insane. it's like. oh hey. my biological father is a known serial killer who's still on the FBI's most wanted list and has been found or thought dead multiple times. and my uncle. and my grandfather. and my grandmother. and my--

Part 2 of the Incorrect Quotes cuz I got bored:

Computer: enter a new password.

Aiden: *enters “Ashlyn”*

Computer: password is too short.

Aiden: I know.

Ashlyn: since I’m going to be out for a while I left you all a complimentary bowl of advice.

Ashlyn, picking up a piece of paper from the bowl: for instance, “Aiden and Tyler stop doing that” applies to everything.

Tyler: I have no respect for Santa. Don’t sneak in through the chimney and undermine my authority by bringing my family presents. Walk in through the front door and fight me like a man.

Ben, using text-to-speech: I really like Eminem.

Logan: I prefer skittles.

Taylor: He’s talking about the rapper.

Logan: Why would he eat the wrapper?

Logan: Oh, fiddlesticks.

Tyler: Look, I understand this is a tense situation, but let's watch the fucking language.

Aiden: I am an expert at identifying birds.

Tyler: Okay, what about those ones flying over there?

Aiden: Yeah, they're all birds.

Ashlyn: Aiden, you’re in charge while I’m away.

Aiden: okay, I’m your man!

Ashlyn: don’t do anything stupid.

Aiden: okay, I’m kinda your man.

Ashlyn: and keep the others out of trouble.

Aiden: you need another man.

Dreaming about them 🥰

[whatohitsonfirewelp]

Thinking about how Darius couldn’t see Ben when he knocked. Thinking about how Ben was on his knees in front of the door. Thinking about how Ben knows how to pick locks.

[operationandre]

proud to say i am just as attracted to him now as i am to him in zero day

not taking criticism or notes at this time

I know we all want redeemed Ben Solo to look and dress like his father at some point. But- ok, hear me out: There hAs to be sOme Lando spirit in there, SOMEWHERE. Like, come on, the CAPE? Are you telling me that Ben Solo, son of Leia Organa, grandson of fashion Queen Amidala, former Jedi padawan and Supreme Fashion Leader himself wouldn't fancy a cape at all? I don't believe u.

Lemme explain.

high waisted Lando pants but put inside the boots.

Shorter cape. Kinda like Lando's in Solo.

High belt, cause it looks good on him and he knows it.

Dark grey. Mid grey. With a bit of off white. (I believe this is self explanatory.)

Later in life, as he grows older, maybe he will start adding some colour to his clothes.

I'm still not decided on my definitive headcanon. The one on the right is still very close to Luke in RotJ despite the grey and higher belt, but I kinda like it? Just cause it looks more elegant. I mean, sure, you could give him a blaster (I... probably will, at some point), depending on where the stories go and how you write him as Ben. I gave him two lightsabers, because, well- I will explain that when my fanfiction is finished. Or maybe I'll abandon the idea till then. :') (Yes, yes they would be white.) Gotta see if it serves the story well or if it's just my old love for young Ahsoka's yellow shoto lightsaber blinding me.

Jeez, there are so many directions you could take this character. Jedi, pilot, smuggler, gambler, senator... there's no end to this. I've seen so much Jedi Ben Solo fanart and I love all of them. I love the robes so much that I went and made some shape exploration with them.

But the thing is I'm not really feeling it. If I were to take the story into a new direction, no Jedi, no Sith, just Force sensitives, a new take on this whole idea, expanding on what Rian Johnson gave us - which, I am - I would probably go away from the traditional Jedi designs. Sure, it all also kinda depends on how you colour it, I guess...

*sighs* there could have been so much to explore and discover in IX. But, eh, let's not turn this into another tros rant.
