how fucked is it that ben is called the horror when really he’s just a vessel for the horror. his very existence is not treated as his own.

and he has to grow up with that in two separate timelines.

❝  a smart trespasser wouldn’t go towards the sound of another person,  ‘lest they get caught.  ❞

❝  i’m stupid, so I do it all the time.  ❞

❝  i feel like this could’ve been done without the manhandling.  ❞

❝  is that what you were going to say,  or did i make this entire thing awkward?  ❞

❝  the plan is don’t die.  think you can manage that?  ❞

❝  it’s pretty straight forward,  you can either keep a secret,  or you can’t.  ❞

❝  why was i breaking and entering,  or why was i caught? ❞

❝  i can neither confirm nor deny whether i may or may not know something of importance to this situation. ❞

❝  no,  there won’t be a ghost orgy,  so don’t worry about it.  ❞

Too many siblings. Not enough timelines.

i wonder if it would have been better or worse if diego and ben never reunited , if losing ben again to diego would be something all the more devastating

[thrillorarc]

Everyone else can see Ben, right? - Yeah, and he’s a complete dickhead.

[tentakilled]

last night @nmbrfive​ got me thinking about the logistics of ben’s powers and even though this might turn out to be extremely non-canon compliant , until i’m proven wrong here’s how i imagine his powers to work:

according to hargreeves’ notes , the monster emerges from BENEATH ben’s skin. this means that every time ben uses his powers , it causes him physical harm. 

the ripped skin isn’t deep , but it’s left a huge visible scar. the length spans from below his bellybutton to right below his heart , and the width is about HIS width. as he gets bigger , the size of the portal increases as well.

his power stems from an energy that he can tap into to open up the portal and suggest the tentacled monster’s attacks / actions. an example of this is that he’ll focus on stopping the bad guys and suddenly the tentacles are ripping four guys apart limb from limb.

when it’s a less intense direction ( ie in the comics how he holds klaus’ ouija board for him ) he can divert more energy to that specific task , but he still needs a majority of it to keep the portal open.

the monster is almost always in more control than he is.

it’s physically and mentally painful , not to mention exhausting every time he uses his powers – hence his constant screaming as it goes on ( see 1.10 )

concept: ben being one of the best at hand to hand combat in the sparrow academy as a survival strategy to avoid using his ability
