[stop-breaking-my-heart-dragonage]

I may be laying on the floor staring into the void, merely vibrating as my brain rots about Veilguard, Rook, the companions, and Solas.

...this is the perfect excuse to replay my canon route.

Apologies in advance: I'm about to make my brainrot replay a problem for everyone and everything in my vicinity.

What's your favourite ben centered ship? Also why and some headcanons to do with it please

I love so many Ben ships, it's impossible for me to choose just one. But I think right now my favorite is probably Ben/Gwen/Kevin.

I have such a soft spot for poly ships, mostly because so many fans don't seem to even consider them a possibility!

So far it's mostly just me making Bwevin content, but I'm hoping to sway some fellow fans into enjoying them eventually, hehe :)

As for why? I guess because I already like Bwen, Bevin, and Gwevin separately — it just makes sense to put them together! All three of them are pretty much attached at the hip in canon, anyway.

Here's some headcanons for the three of them that are canon to my Three's Company AU:

Ben and Gwen start dating when they're 12, a year after Ben takes off the Omnitrix.

Their parents have absolutely no idea. Gwen's parents would separate her from Ben. Ben's parents do eventually find out, but they're already letting him risk his life as a hero, so they can't exactly draw the line at who he's kissing. They don't like it, but Carl and Sandra choose to be happy that Ben is happy and not think about it.

Kevin and Gwen have the public relationship. As far as their friends, family, and press are concerned, Ben isn't involved at all.

He fake-dates Julie for a while once he becomes famous after a scare with the paparazzi hanging outside of his bedroom window. He refuses to let anyone know that he's dating his cousin.

Despite Ben's best efforts, Julie figures it out. She doesn't tell anyone, but she also can't be friends with Ben now that she knows the truth, so they stop talking.

It takes Ben a while to be comfortable with telling Rook the truth. Incest isn't uncommon on Revonnah (it's taboo in upper class society, actually, because it's seen as a sign that you couldn't find a more suitable match for your child and had to resort to family), so Rook doesn't really care.

Rook doesn't like watching Ben do couple stuff with Gwen and Kevin. (He's not disgusted, though. It's jealousy.)

Rook does eventually end up dating Ben, too. Gwen and Kevin don't mind sharing.

Ship is shared between Ben, Gwen, and Kevin. Kevin likes him the most, because Ship is really useful for repairs and upgrades. Ship and Zed eventually become best friends :)

After Gwen and Kevin leave Bellwood, they set up a schedule to video call with Ben at least once a week, and they have a group date night once a month.

Ben, Gwen, and Kevin do eventually "get married." It's not a legally binding ceremony, but they still consider themselves married ����

Charmcaster knows about Ben and Gwen dating, since she spends so much time spying on Gwen. She doesn't really care — she uses it as blackmail.

Will Harangue starts a fake story about Ben dating his cousin to make him look bad. Frank sues him for defamation and Will is legally not allowed to talk about Ben or Gwen after that.

None of the three of them have biological children with each other. Ben and Gwen would feel too guilty if they brought a child into the world, and Gwen and Kevin are not compatible due to being Anodite and Osmosian.

All three of them are, generally speaking, much happier and more comfortable people than they are in canon. Gwen in particular is FAR less stressed.

Gwen is absolutely the jealous type, haha! She almost got into a fist fight with one of Ben's super fans who wouldn't stop touching him, and Kevin had to hold her back.

Ben is the least jealousy prone of the three of them and, ironically, the most needy.

Gwen wears her hair tied up in a high ponytail with a green scrunchie. Her favorite color is green. (Yes, this is important.)

For @threadsandwings

Rook had offered his help to Zazie in case their siblings had been harmed, but with how leery that the Swarm had been about the idea of him meeting the other people that they had collected as family, He had been somewhat surprised to see Zazie take him up on it. The young woman that had been left in his care was... unusual to say the least. Her body had been heavily modified and showed far too many signs of old wounds for him to NOT feel concerned. Especially considering how young she obviously was. This was a child that Zazie had brought to him. How old was she? Rayen's age? Younger? Far too young for whatever it was that had happened to put her body into that state!

Despite the abuse her body had been put through, the young woman was physically quite healthy. Rook told Zazie as much when they came to check on her. It was her modifications themselves that were the issue. Before coming to this planet, Rook had encountered problems like this quite often among individuals with cybernetics hooked directly into their brains... especially among those with eCHO eye enhancements who were careless enough to ignore the proper protocol when using their cybernetics to hack. (Or who downloaded suspicious links or data into heads without thought for the consequences.) Essentially, there was too much extra data running through the young woman's head, overwhelming her and making it extremely difficult for her brain to sort out what belonged and what did not. It was something that was simple to sort out if you had the right tools... ...Or if the 'right tool' didn't have something of an attitude problem. Rook disliked bringing out 41-D, but using an AI to sort out the extra data to something that a human brain could fully process was, unfortunately, the best and safest course of actions. Hopefully the fail-safe programs that his granddaughter had put into place would be as effective as she seemed to believe they would be. ... The little medical robot eyed him in a manner that could be read as wary, despite the un-changing nature of its facial features. It had been a long time since Rook had fully activated the bot rather then just using its digistruct capabilities to produce simple medications. Their last encounter had been... tumultuous at best, and 41-D remembered that. "I know that Rayen has been working with you." He spoke quietly to the bot. "She has nothing but good things to say about your progress, so I'm going to trust her, and trust you too... are you ready to come back to work with me, Aid?" :: Of course, Doctor. :: The synthetic voice was calm and pleasant. Meant to be relaxing for anxious patients. It stood at clear odds with everything Rook knew of the little Bot's personality. :: I exist to help, after all. :: Rook let out a deep sigh. "I don't want to hear from this young woman or any other patients that you were referring to her or any other organic beings as 'inferior sacks of meat', or any other insults that might be cooking in your head... and you'll be following MY methods for dealing with patients. Not anyone else's. Do you understand?" :: Yes Doctor. :: The response was... less enthusiastic, but Rook would accept it. For now. "Patient is in a comatose state caused by a mental overload from the use of cybernetics. I need you to to connect to them to help sort the data into something that a human brain can safely process." :: My scans show that the technology imbedded into this human's body is not fully compatible with my own. What you are asking is possible to achieve safely, but it will take far longer then normal. Would you still like me to proceed? :: "Yes, but keep me informed on any irregularities." :: Understood. ::
