potentially making @dadbodsandbots an oc for this little reben newsflesh thing because i can’t be bothered to make a real oc for something that’s just time killing brain go brr and also because i need someone to be like, the only person in his little commune that doesn’t care about talking to him like a Normal Fucking Person.

and again, it’s not even a fear thing, it’s actually largely the opposite: years and years of the world thinking he’s dead and not actually having vought try to fine tune his image and he finally got the thing he used to think he wanted: people genuinely idolize him.

everyone else inside his fence knows he’s immune, even though they may not all know why and may not all know about the super soldier thing, but they’ve all seen him at some point or another do shit with the infected that no one else can actually do.

he didn’t think people beginning to want to kiss his boots would be so exhausting, and involve so much zombie guts, but here we fucking are.

#txt.txt #ship: your sins come for you again #bc there's no au tag #but also this dynamic is killing me #you @ me: oh hi nice to meet you!#ben: hey. whats the rule about not talking to prisoners?#you: if they're a prisoner why did you give them a gun when the zombies showed up?#ben: because i was hoping they'd be bad with it and get eaten and now i wouldn't be having this fucking conversation #you: this is LITERALLY why you can't make the plans BY YOURSELF #ben: i'm not having this argument again!#you: you never like the arguments you never win so of course not #ben: don't you have a garden to burn?#you: don't you have a prisoner to disarm?#anyway the only non me/ben related lore building for this: you somehow tripped into the masons conspiracy on your own #lacking the resources and protection of the reelix au and following the same rumors i do you found him #the last outbreak inside his fences was technically your fault because you were followed. which you tried to explain to begin with #he was more interested in thinking you were /sent/ by the same people and trying to yell/threaten answers out of you that didn't exist #four people died and it was the final thing to make you finally break down about the whole situation and it was uncomfortable enough that #he actually stopped being mad and trying to blame you for it almost immediately. he asked what you planned to do and you said you didn't kno #know* that you haven't known since you accidentally fell into this hornets nest and that all you wanted is for it to stop #so he used one of the women that died and a fake blood test transmitted to the CDC via bouncing signal towers to let them think you #died in the outbreak and that they didn't have to worry and you just stuck around. your knowledge of mycology and post-outbreak soil care #ended up being fucking invaluable as a whole and now you two bicker all the time #'i should have left you outside the FUCKING FENCE'#'butcha diiiiiiiidn't'
