Schwartz posting and socialism.

[benschwartzcinematicuniverse]

Okay, let’s do this.

Ben Schwartz digital zine

Theme: Ben Schwartz characters in the wrong Ben Schwartz universe (ie: Sonic in the sewer with the turtles, Tony Scarapiducci dealing with the Lobos and Dracula, Jean Ralphio ninth grade ninja)

Art: drawings, sketches, doodles, collages, short fic (think one shot or drabble)

No AI. Must be your original fanwork creation.

You must clearly state how you’d like to be credited and please title your creation (there will be a credits page)

It means nothing but I will hype the sh!t out of your art. No required skill level. Just bring your love of Ben/Ben characters and let it translate

Submit to [email protected] OR message privately here on the bscu tumblr

Deadline August 31 (3 months away!) The goal is for completion by Ben’s birthday in September.

I will be piecing it together with EZM and posting both on itch.io as a free download fully credited and here on tumblr as images with instructions on how to fold if printed. I will also email the files to everyone who submits.

Style and size will depend on number of submissions. Anyone who would like a hand in designing the layout once all pieces are received can message me.

Any questions can be dropped in the comments or messaged privately.

This is a zine both to celebrate the man but also connect the community

THATS IT THANK YOU LOVE YOU HAPPY CREATING!!

4 weeks!!

Info here.

But there’s no time!! Yes, there is!! There’s still four whole weeks. Deadline is the end of the month. You’ve got this. Check the tag for other worries or pop in the discord for a quick brainstorm. Or fall down the rabbit hole that is Ben’s IMDb page and lose the entire month of August making mashup doodles of your faves. When in doubt, improvise!

Won’t you join us?

[benschwartzcinematicuniverse]

Okay Zine team!

We are 30 days out from submission close!

It’s not too late to join in, all info can be found here.

Organization will be happening in the first two weeks of September, so get your page(s) in by the end of this month! Click that link for answers to any questions and reach out if you have any further ones.

INCLUDE

your name/user/however you’d like to appear credited

the Ben character your piece centers on and the universe you’ve put them into

the piece (visual or text)

I am so excited. We’re all so hyped. Reminder that the final layout will be determined by number of pieces submitted. It will be published here and on itch for absolutely free and full credited to all involved.

If unfamiliar with zines, it can be a tiny micro book you can hold in the palm of your hand on up to a full magazine. 6 pages, 32 pages, infinity pages. Who knows.

Get your art in. Get your words it. Whatever you’re feeling with the prompt. Nothing is too small. Yes, we want your penciled-in-margins doodle of werewolf Yasper Lennov singsonging his way into Dracula’s good graces in the book!

Ben characters trapped in the wrong Ben universe. What could possibly go wrong?

* There is an existing g drive folder for the zine but I’ve elected not to share it publicly to stave off spam. Once everything is corralled, anyone with a piece in the folder will have a link to it to see everyone’s submissions

[inthetags]

Reblog and put in the tags one of your favorite characters that can be best summarized as "I like this guy, they're silly."

Excitement absolutely torpedoed by the inclusion of Chris Pratt

Why use AI when you can badly photoshop? Look at Tony dancing with Sam! Do you like this nonsense? Then you’re going to love our zine!

Join us!!

No application necessary. Just make! Just write! Submit to us by August 31st.

HMU either way any questions.

Zine will drop in numerous places for absolutely free and fully credited to everyone so participated. Download will be sent to each participant too! Check the pinned for details!

To celebrate Rise's 8th aniversary and I have no creativity whatsoever, I did some tracing practice with @pr1ps 's original sketch from the official art. (I can take this down if needed.)

Happy turtle day, rise brings me abundance in life, haha, sentimental stuff, thank you @andysuriano for making this series, love working here.

Reminder that this blog was started to do two things:

promote (shipping) Ben (in a variety of things)

encourage you to share water with unhoused neighbors

I’ve been slacking off* in both areas, but I’m here to ask you to please share water and shade. Like literally just give cold water bottles (and frozen ones!) to people outside. If you see people resting in the shade just let them rest! Yes, there are ways to make sure they’re not in distress. No, I do not care if it’s private property. Let them rest in the shade.

On the other topic - they should either give Josh a boyfriend in the new season of The Earliest Show or make him perpetually single and miserable and have to watch Sam get married or something. Let me at that table, Schwartz & Lapkus.

*literally just surviving and I don’t feel bad about it
