People think that everyone getting along and agreeing and believing in a cause its the only way it can go well. But you can do great things as a team of people hating each other and thinking this is gonna be trash, as the production of Dirty Dancing teached us
It is kinda funny that there’s a whole genre of post that’s like “I wish it was normalized to do [extremely transgressive & radical thing].” And I mean often to an extent I agree but at the same time you can tell the post is sort of made with the intention to both retain the social coolnessTM of doing said transgressive and radical thing while also wishing it was like. easier to do it. It’s just kinda funny. Unfortunately if you want the laurels of being counterculture you do kinda have to put in the legwork. If it’s easy it’s just Culture.
Here is the Benthan Bingo 2026 Dialogue Challenge.

(These are listed like this for clarity and accessibility, but you can choose any horizontal, vertical or a diagonal line of three. See below for details.)
Here are the rules below!
How To Play
Complete three prompt squares in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, and you win the challenge! There are eight possible combinations.
What is a complete prompt?
✦ A complete prompt is either 500 or more words or at least one drawing, gif set, video, etc. of whatever your chosen media is.
✦ The content can be Gen or Slash and feature other characters, but our favorite spy duo, Benji and Ethan, must be the main characters in order to fulfill a prompt on this Bingo Card.
✦ And of course, the prompt must be featured in the story.
Are there any other rules?
✦ No AI is allowed in this challenge. Otherwise it's not a challenge, you know? (Anyone caught using AI will be outed and blocked.)
✦ Your entry must be newly created for this bingo card, not retroactively tagged or added on to a pre-existing fic or multi-chapter fic already in progress.
✦ Let’s keep it easy to count. Only one prompt per post please!
✧ You can write a multi-chapter story, and each chapter can have a different prompt, but you can’t combine multiple prompts within one chapter. You can split one prompt into multiple chapters though.
✦ Please use the NUMBER of the prompt somewhere in your post/writing/media so it’s easy to keep track.
How do I win?
✦ You can post as you go, but in order to officially win, you have to tag this blog in a post with links to ALL THREE complete prompts declaring BINGO! Make sure to use the hashtag #BenthanBingo2026
✦ If you don’t have a Tumblr, you can send an ask with your AO3 handle and a list of your three completed works.
✦ A winner will get bragging rights, a sense of accomplishment, and a digital Benthan Bingo Winner Badge for those who complete Bingo.
✦ The winners will be tagged (or called out if you don’t have a Tumblr) in post with the corresponding badges!
✦ It’s going to be the honor system, y’all. Winners and badges will be posted a week after the deadline and you can take, use, display as you wish.
How do I interpret these prompts?
✦ There is one prompt per square, and each prompt is one line of dialogue that any character can say; it does not matter who. It can be over heard by the characters; it does not have to be said directly by them. The line just needs to be IN the story/art somewhere.
✦ You can interpret the prompt any way you want to.
What the heck is a Wild Card?
✦ “Wild Card” means you can choose any prompt from the bingo card or the wild card list that you want to fill in that square. Each row has one wild card, except one row which has three, so you can be guaranteed to have at least one prompt of your choosing. You must choose a prompt from the card or the wild card list to use in your wild card space!
When do I post?
✦ You can post whenever you have completed each prompt! Feel free to tag this blog and use the hashtag #BenthanBingo2026
Is there a deadline?
✦ It can be helpful to have a date to work towards, but you can complete at your own pace, too! If you complete the challenge by the deadline, you will get a digital badge and a shout out on this blog.
✦ Completion Deadline to earn a badge is Sunday, June 28th 2026 at 11:59pm in whatever time zone you are in. That gives us about 8 weeks to get BINGO! You can still work on the bingo card at your own pace.
✦ Mods will do our best to reblog works before the deadline, but after the deadline we cannot promise to reblog everything. (But we'll try!)
Hey, you didn’t reblog my stuff!
✦ Ah, our bad! It’s a total mistake if mods don’t reblog your work within 3 days of posting. Make sure you tag this blog and use the tag #BenthanBingo2026
✦ If we still miss it, just send us a message! We’re happy to support your work.
Questions?
✦ Send an ask and we will reply as soon as we can.
I bet nobody woke up today expecting to see Jameel Jamali, Kim Seokjin and Tom Cruise spoken of in the same context, but here we are 😛
Also , the fact that all three have played a spy/secret agent atleast once at some point in their lives 😆🤣
It is interesting to know that it was Tom Cruise's team was the one who reached out to THEE Kim Seokjin to promote Mission Impossible on Run Seokjin and not the other way around 😎
