Being a girl is: wanting to go to bed early but deciding to just get on tumblr/wattpad/Ao3 for a little bit and then end up finding a fic series that you really like and read until well past your usual bedtime then keeping on because it’s already past your bedtime. Then being mad when you wake up in the morning because you overslept your timer.
I’m so hyperfixated on Snape it’s not even funny anymore. I see him everywhere I go, I’m eating take out- I imagine him just sitting next to me complaining about how awful my taste is. I’m doing something productive? I imagine him doing it with me. God I hate hyper fixation 😔/hj
I literally think this is canon
doodle i did to destress
you’re too sweet for meeeee 🕺
The whole "Kenny making sure Ben and Kai get together so he'll exist" is just so... So dumb. Like dude, Kenny, you're an alternate timeline. You're gonna be fine man, the future's constantly changing, but your timeline will stay intact!
Honeslty, I blame the writers for forcing BenKai. A ship isn't good when it's shoved down your throat and the second half of Omniverse was just shoving BenKai down our throats. I have nothing wrong with it, I just wish it wasn't so forced.
I respect him as a hero, but not as a father
I love omniverse but I hate what they did with Benkai. It could have worked if they didn't write it the way they did but I can't stand how it's meant to be like a bickering couple trope. I hate those kind of couples and it was too last minute. I just don't like how she treats Bens aliens as if they aren't him I know it's meant to be a jokey thing but it just comes off as rude. Like oh no I meant your alien. And it sometimes really isn't in a joking tone for her. 1/2
2/2 I feel like that sort of thing could cause a lotta resentment. I also feel like it could give kids the wrong impression for relationships. Like the way Kai treats Ben should not be shown as good at all. Bickering couples rarely ever works. It might give kids the idea that hey it's okay to be rude and condescending to someone you like. It's that dumb girls treat boys they like badly trope as well. Which has the same problems as bickering couples
I like that you brought up the fact that their relationship should not be framed as good at all, and I would add especially since they're also trying to frame them as an "endgame" relationship. That makes normalizing it in animation even worse. Pushing through borderline abuse for some true love destiny hanging over your heads? Lol let's not glorify that narrative.
When I talk about Benkai's "dynamic," I'm usually coming from the perspective of Ben not being deserving of this kind of end (game) for his story because he's the best boy, but you've got the right idea in saying this could influence people in real life. Absolutely.
😴💘😴
