Ask Albedo Tuesdays - Tumblr Posts

Albedo I would like to kiss you into a wall <3 respectfully ofc

What does albefo think of emo/punk/goth fashion?

Not an Ask Albedo but its so cool that there's teenagers watching and loving Ben10 NOW, because to me Ben 10 fans now are either oldies in their 20s who've been watching it since 2006 or 10 year olds who loved the reboot. Also amazing that you crush and fangirl over Ben, as me and friends in the 2010s self-projected onto Ben instead, even now I watch OS and Omniverse and think 'he's just like me fr'. I never thought of him as 'attractive', so I'd love to hear what you find attractive about him!

OOOOOH THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY IDK WHY!!!

oh yes, actually I've always loved the show since I was 6 (although begrudgingly at the time cause my brother's would tease me about it lol, as you probably read I was deeply affected by gender norms back then). actually I didn't know that there were so few teens nowadays that love hin haha, considering the entire franchise started in 2006, my birth year i thought that all that are left are the teens who connect with their childhood. but that guess it makes sense since any teen would be too young then to really comprehend the show all that well.

and yes, like you, i connect emotionally with Ben. He's just as emotionally driven as me, way too much for his own good. I get attached very easily, just like him, but also find it hard to commit to people when I have so many things on my mind/hands. (reffering to Julie)

but that, kinda embarrassingly lead to me having a crush on him lol ^^' ::

1- I just find his relatableness very endearing, especially for me who has his same qualities that I've been told are a burden. I love how romanticized (though in a good way) his faults are, because as the show progresses, he learns, and although stubborn and slow, he still learns. It's just a drive of affection that makes you feel proud of yourself, and seeing Ben have these qualities loved by everyone around him made me want to be like him.

2- I also love how confident af he is. I get that sometimes he's very cocky and arrogant, but then again, how else would you find the courage to win in a fatal fight? you need that confidence boost, or just the right about of positivity that'll get you to actually become determined when you're one step closer to your goal.

3- his freedom of will. actually, although silly, i always envied how easily he could manage anything he put his mind to. even if it ends up I him getting in trouble, captured or even imprisoned, I always love how open-minded he is.

4- I have this thing about me where I watch something just for the plot and never appreciate the little details. so one day I was on pinterest reliving and childhood and finding some pics of show and just went "wait the artsyle is so frikkin adorable, how did i never pay attention to that" and that applies to ALL the versions of the show. And since I'm a loser I also developed a crush on him :)) he's very pretty if you look at him well enough. it's a standard anyways: that cartoon characters should be attractive ideally, so it was bound to happen haha. but yeah, that's everything I love about Ben. overall his personality is what really captured my heart. his clumsiness, idiocy, himbo behavior always get ne screaming!!

Hey there! Just a random stranger on the Internet (try not to sound weird)

I came across your blog from your Albedo art and it resurfaced my fixation on Ben 10 again. Not as much now but still interested 'cause I hyperfixate on a lot of other stuff.

Albedo is my favourite character. He was one of my many childhood crushes (most of them are villains and have red eyes 0_0) You could say it was his character design that got me interested in him. His Omniverse look was his PEAKED design imo. Ugh, I could write an essay why I love him if I want to.

Overall, I just wanna say, your art is amazing❤❤❤ and glad that Albedo is getting more attention.

I agree on him being interesting af in terms of character design, but i give his omniverse a 2/10 because of that greasy ahh hair of his. It don't move frfr. and thank you so much for the compliment, dear! ^^ 💖💖💖

AND AN EXTRA NOTE, UR SO MOOD FRFR I'M GONNA RANT ABOUT HIM TOO::

tbh, if you look at it the general way, Albedo is still extremely underrated along with every other good character/villain that isn't ben. I have a pinterest feed all about ben 10 and boy it's SO HARD to find any new variety of screencaps or fanarts of him since 2017. this is the main reason I decided to start drawing him anyway. he's way too good to be left unnoticed but this is another thing most people don't see. he's way more than a villain or a copy of Ben, he's a mind of his own. he's very interesting in terms of personality/ villainous performance. and I find it even more amazing how it hasn't changed since AF. I know I may be looking too deep into it, and it's just a standard portrayal of him, but don't you think it's cool how he never learns from his mistakes? it shows just how impulsive and moreover desperate he is to get what he wants. He's a clumsy villain. even though Ben warns him time and time again that his actions will have consequences, he'd rather move with his dignity and smarts rather than worry about something he has no business with. Property damage is moreover likely to be the main reason he was imprisoned anyways, but there's way more to it and I'll get to that in a while. remember in 'A Few Brains More' when Ben warned Albedo that shooting at him will lead to trouble? Albedo didn't listen to him and ended up destroying one of the very pillars that generate the energy to the brain extraction machine thingy. He's one stubborn little bastard and I think that's a quality that gives so much potential for future representations (ofc I mean fanfiction), especially in the case of a redemption arc. Imagine just how hard it would be to convince him that his situation isn't that bad; the emotion and the grief and overall mental erosion. Although sadistic, wouldn't it be interesting to dive deep into his faults and manipulate them to see what he'd be like in completely new and overwhelming situations? His anger, grudge holding, stubbornness and superiority complex along with his new analogy of what his motives and plans even were ;that he wanted nothing but his galvan form back, and a little exerpt of his epiphany that destruction is useless, because in fact it is. I think the wiki disregarded this part-- or, well...took it too lightly, in a better sense. And the scene after that, too. The wiki interpreted him going back to trying to clobber ben after taking the second second brain again as him 'going back to his evil ways', despite that not at all being the case. This interpretation makes is seem like as soon as Albedo lost Azmuth's brain, he lost his epitomized consciousness that "destruction is useless and to create is elite", and I feel like that really belittles just how....innocent he is. Blasphemous idea I know but hear me out. The wiki and the show played him out as way more dangerous than he actually is, if there even lies a fatal amount of it at all anyways. All that, when in reality, in the previously mentioned scene his words and actions after the brain dilemma basically meant being angry at Ben for stripping him of the extra knowledge that lead to that epiphany. He only clobbered him again because not only was he disregarded in his words cause he FINALLY understood everything wrong with what was happening, but he was yet again, two steps farther away from getting the omnitrix. This scene was the parallel of the one in AF where he admitted that he gave up on the contract with azmuth and that if he just got his form back, he'll leave Ben alone. of course that isn't the reality of things.

I'm gonna go back to the imprisonment part for a second, and say that he is completely innocent in regards of crime aside from the fact that he caused a lot of property damage. At least Ben has an excuse, he's a hero and has to do what he has to no matter the consequences (of course bearing in mind the safety of the citizens). Albedo is just an outsider. He can't even bail out nor with money nor with eyewitness. It's the fact that he's considered a global threat that overestimates Albedo's value of danger.

Because riddle me this"

-if he's really evil, why has he never thought of invading earth?

-if he's really evil, why did he not think about using the omnitrix to take over the universe?

-if he's really evil, why did he cut his partnership with vilgax many times even thought they both wanted the omnitrix? hint: Albedo called vilgax out on "wanting the omnitrix to take over the world which he promised he wouldn't do". that implies that Albedo doesn't want to take over the universe at all. Nowhere in the franchise has he stated he wanted power over the universe.

-if he's really evil, how come the reality of things is that he's never tried hurting anybody that isn't Ben? Oh, Kevin and Gwen and the Plumbers? fun fact, they were only in his way. If they weren't there, his focus would be on Ben and Ben only.

-if he really wanted destruction, why has it been hinted many many MANY disregarded times that his only goal is to get his galvan form back and not rule anything?

see where I'm getting at?? and what was the purpose of the omnitrix anyways??? oh no, Azmuth made it to form peace aaa how scary if Albedo wanted a copy that meant bad news oh no were in danger etc, etc. even though it was never mentioned why he even wanted a copy, nor was it implied that he wanted it for something bad. Just that he got fired because he kept nagging Azmuth to make a copy for him because Ben was untrustworthy, you know, when he was a kid. He still is a kid, but WHAT WAS SO BAD ABOUT MAKING A COPY IF IT WAS ONLY GONNA BE USED FOR PEACE????? I'm so lost. seriously, why is he the bad guy again??

it's kinda sad honestly. to me Albedo is a mumisunderstood, well written villain-- if you could even call him that-- that just wanted one thing for the sake of another, harmless, actually very peaceful thing. It's a bit unfair how he's treated as the second biggest criminal in the show although he had no bad motives. That is to say NOR HIM OR BEN WERE IN THE WRONG. they were just doing what they had to on each of their terms, but it just so happens that their goals clash as they can't achieve both of them at the same time. Want a copy? yay go ahead, but its been proven that he needs a piece of the original to make a complete one, but Ben's DNA is the default, so he'd still be a human otherwise one alien for all eternity. Ben gives the watch? same problem. plus earth is in danger. Kill Ben????? same problem. it's a lose : lose situation in any case.

phew that was a lot of talking, but I hope you related to the ideas in this rant in any way. I really wish someone would hear me out on this because this is reaaaaaallllllyyyyyyy looked over.

albedo your guyliner is on fleek <3

Uh oh, better run, Anon!!

(I know this was meant as a compliment but this is funnier-)

My biggest hc for Albedo is that hes really good at make up fromm the time he was on a tv shos in ultimate alien. He picked up some tricks.

I think we can all agree on the actuality of this statement i mean-

THE GUY LITERALLY TOOK HIS TIME TO FIND EYE CONTACTS IN OMNIVERSE LIKE

You're trying to tell me this guy is not a MASTER at this skill to the point where the main 4 (minus Rook bc Albedo's personality was pretty obvious to expose) Actually thought that he was Ben???? nah. He's definitely awesome at eyeliner I just know it.

Albedo deserves friends that he can vent to

Absolutely :(

I honestly had high hopes for the Hugh and co friendship circle in UAF, but things were opposite to what was expected. It was Albedo that was forgiving and understanding to the other two rather than him being to one to speak up on how he feels, and I find that really disappointing

like Hugh and his friend were the ones to say they wanted to be friends with Albedo, and although Albedo agreed, he didn't have enough time to truly connect with them to be able to just...dump his feeling onto them. wasted potential imo :(((

but. then again. what are fanfictions for lmfao. I'm writing for my own pleasures cause I'll be damned if i left my blorbo with no friends to help him cope in this cruel world with his even crueler fate </3

I have an oc i made to be his friend. His name is jamie and hes trans masc and i imagine he tries to relate with albedo about possible body dysmorphia he may have by talking a bit about his dysphoria so albedo doesnt feel so alone about not wanting or liking his human body :3

Hello! thanks for the ask!!

This, along with another ask from a couple months ago, is something I 100% agree with.

Trans/non binary people would definitely be the second closest thing to Albedo in 'being in a body that isn't yours'. And although Albedo as Albedo doesn't understands LGBTQ (unless explained to him) and isn't trans himself, he definitely sympathizes with Trans people in general. He understands them to a spiritual level and often treats them better than most humans when interacting with them, so to have a whole ass friend that comforts him about his situation is a very pleasant surprise to him. (he also at some point embarrassingly cried when someone dove deep into the topic with him but he wouldn't ever bring it up)

but yeah o definitely think this is genuinely possible

Hi Albedo! How are you? ❤️💕

this is my comeback i guess

(also yes I'm projecting. stupid boys in my class wouldn't turn off te fans in this cold ass weather </3)

Albedo would you still love me if I was a worm? </3

oh.
