Pls I do not know anything about Ben other than he is one of the og creepypastas, so I give you this ticket!! Go wild and ramble as much as you want :D
its my fucking time to shine.
ALRIGHT SO ben drowned (the story) is just about a guy who gets a creepy legend of zelda: majora's mask cartridge and weird shit starts happening--he eventually realizes he's getting haunted by ben, the former owner of the game whose father drowned him. ben starts fucking with the game and harassing the author by possessing cleverbot etc etc...honestly it's one of the only old creepypastas that still holds up as a story today, but it does have its flaws. imo it's kinda hard to get into if you're not familiar with the plot/gameplay of majora's mask, and it kinda goes off the rails in some later installments the author wrote and it just becomes really really confusing 😭 i only really like the original ben drowned story, and i kinda consider ben in ben drowned and ben in the creepypasta fandom as like. separate characters?
a fun thing about the creepypasta fandom (at least imo) is that it's like. pretty divorced from the original stories?? like. in the original story ben's a vengeful, sadistic spirit who's trapped in the majora's mask cartridge, but in the fandom? short king gamer boy ghost who possesses electronics to kill people. like ok he's a murderer but he's also my special little man so it's fine. i really don't know how to concisely explain my interpretation of ben so i'm just gonna list several hcs i have for him!!
-he doesn't need to eat but he still has REALLY strong opinions on dorito and mountain dew flavors
-acts like a bitch but is really shy when it comes down to it??? like. if a fan tells him "omg i'm in love with you" he'll just start laughing nervously and will have NO idea how to respond please help him
-def needs therapy. he's a sweetheart when you get to know him but he has a lot of pent up anger and hurt (and major hydrophobia) from how he died, which is why he kills
-has AGGRESSIVE circle game fights with jeff the killer
-he would hand write “aksjsndajs ily” on your birthday card
-his voice and form glitch out a lot, more often when he's stressed or nervous. jeff is cruel and says that he sounds like a ytp
-really smart especially when it comes to math and tech! he also knows a few languages
-if someone listens to him ramble about video games for like a LONG time, whoops! he's in love now
also some incorrect quotes i have for him:
i’m so sorry this is so long i just was thrilled to get to ramble about him 😭 i literally love him so much thank you SO much for this gush pass and if anyone actually reads all of this,,,ily ily ily 🥺💖💞💖💘💖
