you wouldn't think a show like this would have as much hugging as it does. people especially love max it seems

Bivalvan, Galapagus, Andreas, Ra'ad and P'andor will stay dead after the Ultimate Kevin arc right? I always thought that they coming back at the last minute felt like a studio mandated thing to make the ending more kid friendly

They don't die in the rewrite, but they also don't come out unharmed either. When Aggregor uses his powers and the machine of them, I won't have them disappear into thin air, lol. Instead they're severely weakened, their normal health has been tanked and even after Aggregor is stopped, there's no repairing what he did to them. The entire group is now stuck with debilitating health, which basically intales some chronic pain, almost always feeling tired, brain fog, and all that not so wonderful stuff. They can still live a life, but it takes some good habits to build up and management, help from medical professionals too. I didn't want to kill the five of them off, but giving consequences from Aggregor's actions can come in more flavours than just murder. The five might not be dead, but he's effectively changed their lives for the worse forever, even if they find ways to heal from it.

Pretty sure if Ben ever see argit again, he would never be happy. Given what argit did to andreas, Ben can never see himself forgiving argit for what he did to his dad that could have possibly got him killed.

Yep. Ben will definitely hold a grudge against Argit for nearly getting his dad killed by the Forever Knights.

Me: Andreas speaks in the third person a lot, and barely in second, what if Talpaedan’s don’t use pronouns at all?

Canon, in the first few seconds of Andreas’ introduction: Andreas using ‘i’ and ‘he’.

Canon, in ‘Andreas’ Fault’: Andreas using ‘you’.

Me:

I am once again ignoring canon, this time for some slight (and slightly disconnected) culture building for Andreas.

Speaking in the third person, as far as media goes, is typically how to quickly identify the intelligence of a character… or lack there of in this case. Andreas of course is one example, but Rath does it too; as an appoplexian, apparently the dumbest sapient being in the universe, it’s all ‘Rath’ and ‘[insert full name and title here]’. But I’d thought it’d be cool if Talpaedan language either doesn’t care about gender at all or doesn’t replace names with pronouns to keep context like a steel trap.

And just because speaking third person is a naturally Talpaedan thing to do, doesn’t stop Andreas from keeping his himbo rights as a dumb brick of a man.

I believe the thought started out with a little hypothetical scenario- something something topic I don’t know, but essentially Andreas is talking to Bivalvan (including ‘you’s) and - being a user of pronouns gendered or otherwise, getting just a little uncomfortable with hearing his name repeated to death - Bivalvan states something about pronouns.

“What are ‘pronouns?” Comes the question, complemented with the tilt of the head and a twitch of the ears.

“…uhhhh.” Bivalvan stumbled in response, not expecting the confusion. Then things clicked, he and Andreas have to each their own native language, it’s just that Andreas has a few more differences to learn about English. “Pronouns replace names - of people, places, objects too.”

“So what are Bivalvan’s pronouns?”

“English doesn’t have an exact translation, but he/him’s the closest.”

“Is Andreas using…” He took a slow blink in thought, “…he/him’s pronouns right?”

“Oh- no- not quite- hah-“ Bivalvan tucked his beak under his top shell, imitating a smile. “We’ll work on that, yeah?”

It’s good for Andreas to learn in an environment of learners, because - even excluding gendered pronouns - English places a heavy emphasis on pronouns to just simplify sentences; remove redundancy or determining I vs you vs them or whatever. It’s probably not naturalistic for a language to have absolutely no pronouns (or just a significant lack of use for them)… for human languages-

Hah! I lured you into a false sense of security (again)! We’re doing bio-cultural headcanons too!

Now, I’m thinking since Talpaedans are made to burrow, there’s probably a litter of kids that may not need to be fully developed because ‘safety of underground’. Ever since I watched the… most recent Alien Biosphere episode (could change by the time I’ve posted vs when you read this), haplodiploidy has been bouncing around in my head.

For a little context, that word is used to describe how bee (and other colony insects) genetics work. It’s essentially where females have both the mother and father’s genes because something something fertilised egg, while males come from unfertilised eggs and therefore only have a genetic mother; they cannot genetically have fathers and sons, but they can have grandfathers and grandsons through their mothers and daughters.

It’s just one of those words that ‘y’all heard about haplodiploidy once and haven’t shut up since’ and the brainrot worsened when I connected the concept to Talpaedans and them like- having different construction machine arms (or limbs and maybe even more) based on genetics. And with that, and the multitudes of offspring (and an unspoken factor, the Slammoids, being a burrowing predator to help influence a fuck ton of children) suddenly I vs you vs them is very redundant and super unidentifiably unspecific.

So now instead of ‘he hit me’s and ‘she stole my lunch’es - where adults, adolescents and other kids don’t know which ‘he’, ‘she’ or ‘me’ and ‘my’ is being spoken about anymore - it becomes ‘Garlock hit Denali’ and ‘Eltanin stole Haiyuan’s lunch’. Here, everything is crystal clear- Garlock now has to go to time out, Denali might’ve gotten hurt bad, Eltanin isn’t having any supper and Haiyuan gets to have a little snack instead.

and yes i used fault line names to pick from- if andreas is just straight up andreas fault why can’t these kids be straight up too

So yeah! A little language headcanon with a little bit of a bio-cultural tangent, all because Andreas speaks in the third person a lot - using next to no pronouns - and I didn’t just want it to be writer shorthand for being stupid (even if he very much is a dumb brick of a man- or wait, does haplodiploidy affect that too? andreas with bee gender? andreas with ANT GENDER?).

A headcanon for another day.

and another alien to not technically go by he/him because of lack of gender knowledge

Can I get more story time of how Ben met each of the Andromeda aliens? (Pandor, Bivalvan, Andreas and others?) I just really love those aliens.

I know. Me too. The Andromeda five will be shocked when they learn they have a son on Earth and they all share him. It will be hilarious.

Most of Ben's first meetings with his Andromeda fathers almost the same. Naturally, Ben is curious to get to know them a little. However, he does want to help them to get home.

Bivalvan - He's surprised to see a teenage version of himself and will realize that his son is the result of the Omnitrix. He'll be a little impressed by Ben.

Galapagus - He becomes overjoyed to know that he has a son, who's a hero that helps people. He instantly welcomes Ben into his life and wants to pass his knowledge down to his son.

P'andor - As soon as he finds out that Ben is his son, he immediately tries to get off of Earth because he's not paying for child support. But he does eventually warm up to Ben. Unfortunately, P'andor tried to recruit Ben into his criminal lifestyle.

Andreas - Instantly gives Ben a bear hug and cuddles him, much to Ben's embarrassment. Andreas is extremely protective of his son and will fight anyone who hurts him.

Ra'ad - Doesn't know what to think of the whole situation. But he does find himself becoming attached to Ben despite just meeting his son. Ra'ad constantly worries about Ben and tends to read his mind to know where he's at, not knowing that it's an evasion of privacy.

It's nothing just Ben and his many animal like father's just immediately protective when someone decided to say shit to there son like (Jason, Amphibian, 775, Galapagus, Andreas and many more.) Well I know Galapagus would not immediately just attack but I know he'd make an exception when it comes to his Ben who is just looking confused and sad why they called him a freak all of a sudden

Yes. I can see Ben's more animal-like dads being protective of him. Anyone who shits on Ben will end up learning why you shouldn't mess with an offspring of an animal.
