Death bringer

Derin bir uykuya düşmeye çabalıyorum. Olmuyor…

Uzun sürüyor uykunun gelip,

Beni bana unutturması...

So I’m reading through your ideas for Ben 10 and seeing the “cliquey and territorial cerebrocrustaceans” one is making me realize how absolutely hysterical it would’ve been if at the beginning of Alien Force Brainstorm was incredibly kind and affectionate towards Gwen more so than Ben usually is meanwhile he’s just disgusted by Kevin’s entire existence.

Brainstorm: “Oh, Gwendolyn! I have a surprise for you! I witnessed you express an interest to see a feature film that has recently debuted, so I decided to purchase two tickets so that you may go and see it with a colleague of your choosing! And there’s no need to worry about refreshments: I’m more than happy to lend you the proper fare required for you and your chosed companion to purchase all of your favorites!”

Gwen, genuinely put off as Ben’s never been this nice to her before: “Umm…thanks?”

Kevin: “Hey Ben, do you know where the bathroom is?”

Brainstorm: “T H E  G R O U N D  U P O N  W H I C H  Y O U  S T A N D.”

(Of course, as Ben gradually warms up to Kevin, Brainstorm eventually grants him one of the highest honors he can bestow: permission to touch him without needing his consent first)

Oh hell yeah this got me cracking up!

Ben 10 rarely ever explores the differing psychology between Ben’s humanity and all the aliens he does transform into- well, save for Rath that is! Sure, the smarter aliens he transforms into affect his intelligence, but academic IQ is a completely different ballpark to social instincts, and the idea that Brainstorm who - being a cerebrocrustacean who’s social evolution centres on a severe in-group vs out-group - would interact quite differently with his peers than in his human base form.

Hah, Gwen may be confused and perhaps slightly off-put given Ben - while affectionate and caring of her - isn’t quite so open and hmm… what’s the term… considerate? Attentive? About her interests that he’d spend the money on them for her. At least for the sake of their present closeness Brainstorm wasn’t on 10 year old Ben’s playlist, Gwen would have been on the outest of out-groups you’d need to have been a criminal actively harming him to get it worse.

*looking at Kevin* Ah right yes, that criminality- Kevin would HATE Brainstorm like it was personal, even after Ben the human gets to trust him more and drop the suspicions. Would probably groan whenever he shows up again, it’s almost like Kev treats Brainstorm like an entirely different person (in a similar but opposite way Ben sees his transformations as people), even after he becomes part of Brainstorm’s in-group. Can’t handle the saccharine :P Understandable-

what if in season 2, instead of Crowley’s car being the thing that plays music that describes the scene, it’s Aziraphale’s record player?

and the playlist that Neil shared is the music that plays?

​so it’s more from the perspective of Aziraphale this time instead of Crowley

Omg I was just stalking ur blog looking at you y tu mama posts and I was wondering your opinion on the ending? Do you think Tenoch secretly had feelings for Julio or he was just over Julio and his friendship and scared that Julio might want something else from him? I always thought Julio was a bit fluid and Tenoch was straight and only into Luisa. I mean when they’re speaking at the diner the conversation is all fine until Julio mentions Daniel.. T automatically shuts down and crossing his arms as if he is nervous Julio might want him.. I also think they meet again not because they became friends again but out of coincidence

I'm not really sure how else to answer this other than say that you seem to have gotten Tenoch completely wrong.... unfortunately.

I think the weird possessiveness you see when Julio talks about being with Tenoch's girlfriend is just transference - ultimately who they both wanted was each other.

They both wanted EACH other, and they were young boys on the precipice of wanting more. and trying to understand what that meant to each other and also, all the other ugly things that come from classism and internalized homophobia. Tenoch having that visceral reaction to Daniel is BECAUSE Daniel freed himself off his own father, and decided to share his life with another man, the very dream that Tenoch knows at the end of the movie that he can NEVER do that - what Daniel did - come out, get disowned, be called a "queen" and that repression is what kills him.

Here's what the co-writer had to say about that ending scene:

I fully beleive that Tenoch wanted Julio too, and that's why he couldn't see him anymore - and Julio definitely is fluid or bi, or at least that's how I put it in my head. Tenoch is...some kinda queer in my head - he might only like women and Julio only (when it comes to men) or maybe he's also bi or fluid.

I think in their 40s, Julio has probably managed to embrace his queerness. Tenoch on the other hand...probably not.

it's just repression man. Tenoch is just repression represented and it HURTS so much. Julio is literally that unsenttext: would you like me if I was a girl. And yes. probably - if Julio was a girl, I think (ME), I think Tenoch would have managed to beat his own internal classism to make them possible and it would have been a cute high school sweethearts story - but it's not - Julio is just... too male for Tenoch - not because he's NOT attracted to him - it's just the classism and the internalised homophobia. He WANTED Julio - that's the problem - if he didn't, he would have just beat the shit out of him and ended the friendship then itself.

I think post the movie, they just pined for each other for years, and they probably did meet - sometime down the line -and yes - probably because of coincidence. How it goes is a whole different question lol

Here is the cast and writers' conversation for the movie's 20th anniversary: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/25/movies/y-tu-mama-tambien.html
