Rooters arc is VERY personal to me
I did NOT just hear someone call Ben narcissistic for using Alien X in a plotline where they opposing side was trying to paint him as the bad guy like that wasn't the point of the Rooters Arc. I don't AGREE with the opposing side, but they were literally trying to show how much power this teenager has access too and bring up the debate of how some people might realistically not take that well. It wasn't about "narcissism."
Didn’t get the Ben Kevin confrontation I wanted so I drew the one I needed
I just went over this on Discord, but I wanna make a public post here too.
The Rooters Arc in Omniverse
The thing that really frustrates me about the Rooters arc is they could have made it 100% better just by making DEVIN LEVIN the leader of the Rooters instead of Servantis.
Like, Devin is a real person. Devin is alive. Devin faked his death that day on the ship with Max. Ragnarok was still in on it. Ragnarok is also a Rooter. But Devin never died, because Devin Levin is the ring leader of the Rooters!
Servantis is still there and one of the Rooters. But Servantis is a red herring, a puppet leader. The guy Devin sets up as the one the heroes should focus on while he controls things from behind the scenes.
Instead of teleporting into Plumbers headquarters in "Rooters of All Evil" in and being all like "we're here to arrest Kevin for no reason" it could have been "we need Kevin, he's the only one who can help his father!" And Kevin would have just gone with them. No questions asked. Just been like "MY FATHER IS ALIVE!" and been first though the projector.
Then it turns out the "help" his father needed was murdering Ben.
Spoilers: Kevin's revealed to have a grandmother on his father's side, who comes around at the time of the Rooters Arc to put Servantis AND Aggregor in their place
Talking to @kariachi and seeing their ficlet that's about Rooters arc, made me want to write one myself. So yeah!!
Big tw it's about non sexual grooming (no other way to put it) from a perspective of 12 year old Kevin so yeah

This was sent to me over FanFiction.Net private message by @jelsaotp23 and I’ve adopted it as my new head canon for the Rooters Arc and subsequent retcons.
Like they said, it’s way easier to just press [DELETE] on a computer, than it is to invent an entire race and implant false memories in the minds of multiple people.
Okay, so I have an idea for Gwevin Week day 4 “Deception”. A retelling of the Rooters Arc, except Devin Levin not only was real, but is still alive, and... Devin is the leader of the Rooters! He faked his death for reasons about as flimsy and nonsenseical as the original Rooters Arc.
The thing is... I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO WRITE THIS IDEA!
