Ben 10 Fanfiction - Tumblr Posts

an old fic i wrote which never got the attention i hoped for. it's about reboot ben 10k and kevin 11k reconciling after 15 years apart. read it here and leave a comment if youd like

(sorry i put this every time but its so funny to me how it actually works hehe)

Ik this isn't what I typically post but I've had this on my mind for the longest time and I can finally talk about it somewhere.

Just to make things clear: This isn't meant to be shade at anyone, whether you be an author who's used this idea or a reader who enjoys it. I just personally don't like it, don't understand the hype around the idea, and I'd like to express that.

So I've noticed that many Ben 10 crossovers will just give the Omnitrix to the MC of the other series and that’ll be the crossover. I don't really get why this is so popular, and while explaining why, I’ll mainly be using BNHA/Ben 10 as examples. I always thought some of the coolest things in crossovers was seeing the different characters interact. I mean, Ben and Izuku have never met before (obviously) so seeing them meet, get to know each other, help each other, fight together, give each other pointers, etc would be really cool. Same goes for other characters, especially the villains. Idk maybe I've just been assuming what people want to see. The main thing that gets me with the "other MC gets the Omnitrix" stories is how it shoves everything that isn’t the Omnitrix to the side. It sorta cuts out everything else Ben 10 related besides the Omnitrix and the aliens within it, which is just really disappointing. Me already finding the premise boring isn't helped by the fact that everyone, their mother, and their neighbor's dog has made a crossover with that premise. I just really don't get what's so special about the idea. I guess you get to see someone else use the Omnitrix, but I don’t even get how that’s very interesting, either, besides maybe seeing some more creative uses of the alien’s abilities. And, to me, the characters interacting, learning about each other and their respective worlds (if you don't blend them together), seeing them unite against a threat to beat it with all their might, etc would be far more interesting. Ig this crossover premise just isn’t for me, which is fine, but I wish I could understand what other people see in it bc it really just looks like a boring, overused premise to me. 

Alright, rant over. Sorry if it was annoying, but I really wanted to get it off my chest. Again, I don't mean to be rude or insulting or anything like that towards anyone who's used this premise or who enjoys this premise.

Vilgax the conqueror (the design was based on zurg from lightyear)

My universe is getting bigger

remembering that back in 2018 my sister had an OC that looked like a carbon copy of Albedo ben 10 but female and on that note i decided to torture her by making an albedo x oc fanfic that i took 100% seriously and actually published on the internet but decided to keep it to myself but then i found the original pages two days ago and decided that I'm writing a remake of it now in 2022 just to continue the sister tormenting tradition

small out of context oc insert thing I drew in relation to a little hurt/comfort scenario I had in mind :D

should I turn it into a full one-shot?

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.

That Albedo fic is fire hoping to see the 2nd chapter soon!! <3

omg thank you wth 😭💖💖i didn't expect anyone to read this lmao but omg I'm glad you like it!!!

this is actually just a small bit of the chapter, tho, there's way more after this excerpt!! which is why actually publishing it will be continuously delayed; I'll be editing 25/7 (and trying to figure out how custom tags on ao3 work pls help me) and making sure the writing is well-composed :)

look forward to next friday, i'll most likely publish it then!

Realizing just how high-maintenace Albedo would be if he were to actually stay on earth. You know, especially for the basics: the ID, the birth certificate (which would be a hassle to make on its own considering "I'm a clone of an already existing person" isn't a very convincing excuse)

How would the Plumbers deal with Albedo's health?? he doesn't have any insurance so there's no way a hospitql would allow him to just go and ask for medicine. So for a long while I'd imagine he'd be taken care of under the supervision of the Plumbers lol. a newborn child.

Oh yeah, finding a home is a very hard idea to manage especially since most of the money from Max and the Plumbers most likely goes to the Plumbers headquarters for renovations, extra security and whatnot, and booking hotels every 2 weeks is way too expensive. So.....taken in by Ben's mother? Not as a brother or anything, just giving him a temporary home until he's actually had the chance to live on his own (plus he needs to know what it's like to have parents because despite his maturity, he still needs help with everyday human things, so a human mother would be the best thing to have right now)

Clothes? Oh boy. Albedo would not understand the necessity of "mixing and matching" or following "trends." if it were for him, he would pick the most hideous combo ever known to man.

"What's wrong with blue and yellow? I'm dressed up, aren't I?"

he's never learned how to properly brush his hair. let's be honest, even if the Plumber's base somehow, even though unmentioned, had a full shower just for Albedo, he wouldn't know how to bathe correctly. Let's say he knows to "scrub his body" which is just him literally scratching his skin until the black muck is gone is the most he's deduced out of it. What's soap to him? Shampoo? "Oh put it on my head?" okay. then what? Tell him to scrub his head but he wouldn't know how to either. He doesn't know the importance of 'scalp treatment' or 'conditioning' he's just...winging it???? (Ben's mom to the rescue? (Ben would be embarassed))

idk i just think it's a pretty cute idea (which I'm definitely not putting in a shameless self indulgent fanfic not at all nope)

update its a whole fanfiction now

small out of context oc insert thing I drew in relation to a little hurt/comfort scenario I had in mind :D

should I turn it into a full one-shot?

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
