I just saw your post about Ben 10, and am now curious. What are your thoughts on the Ben 10/Gen Rex crossover movie? I personally adore it and wished they had made more! The two universes work really well together.

i ADORE the crossover its so fun!! that was like the coolest shit ever when i first watched it. the multiverse/alternate dimension thing slots right into generator rex honestly

what kills me though which i have been thinking about ever since it aired: because ben was in the genrex world, ben got infected with nanites which means he has now infected his entire UNIVERSE with nanites and theres absolutely NO way to cure anyone who turns evo over there because theres no rex dfhjklsdhf

ok listen i was a ben 10 girlie like anyone else obsessed with cartoons from the 2000s. i fucking LOVE the show let me start with that. ive rewatched the og series and alien force and ultimate alien multiple times. but i have such a hard time creating fanart/fic or even just engaging in general fandom because something doesnt quite click right and ive realized why: its because i cant dehumanize ben

ben turns into so many different aliens that it no longer matters. theyre costumes rather than a complete change with consequences. i would so much rather he get infected with one kind of super turbo powerful alien dna and we see how that changes him, physically and mentally, as he navigates this new world of monsters and fights aliens and eventually has to be made a peacekeeper of the universe all because he accidentally ended up with the omnitrix.

i want to see him go through whats basically alien puberty because hes growing into this and the omnitrix was never supposed to go to a literal child and i want him to lose his humanity as he gets lost in this world and never be able to go back.

i understand why we didnt get it and im not at all mad about it because i know this is a very specific thing i personally like to see. i just dont have the energy to make my own au so im ranting but man. i can dream.

also i want the necrofriggian babies back. i want to see ben raising his kids. i want him to struggle with being a teen dad. give me consequences to the silly events and let him go through the horrors and grow from it

"You know, you could have told me you don't like coffee before we went to a café," Noah says, massaging his temples. Rex looks at the menu like it's spelling his death—or like it's about to go EVO and hop down and bite him. "Dude, do you think the mess hall has fancy drinks like this? I like coffee, but not all of—whatever this is." He glances at the counter where a barista is serving up some iced thing with copious amounts of whipped cream and spices sprinkled over it. "That doesn't even look like coffee."

We need to talk about the worst thing about making AUs....

The fact that then when you inevitably think about crossovers you don't want the crossover with the canon you want it with your specific AU. Your brain worms, your circus, but THEN WHAT?

Oh, yeah, to understand this crossover you need to go read this entirely different fic/series? Girl help 😭 you can't do that

"You set up your new hotshot Providence friend with a date for our prom and not me?!" Eric wails beside him, dramatically throwing himself across the table, barely avoiding Noah's lunch bag.

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?

I have never ever once in years of reading fic on ao3 let the stats decide whether or not I give something whose title/tags/summary catches my interest a shot
