Diego never went to another haunted house with Klaus ever again
based off of this blessed video if u don’t know
Ben strikes me as the only sane person in a room full of overdramatic weirdoes. Like Luther would be off puffing his chest and saving the world, Diego would be Brooding in a corner and Vanya would have one of her emotional speeches about being alone and he’d just be like
Luther: Zeus, God of the Sky. Rules as king of the gods.
Diego: Poseidon, God of the Sea and Earthquakes. Known to be one of the most moody and ill-tempered gods. Vengeful when insulted. Often asserts his independence from the other gods and acts against the rule of Zeus.
Allison: Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty. Many stories about her include themes of deception and persuasion. In Rick Riordan’s books, she’s said to change faces rapidly to appeal to the tastes of whoever is looking at her.
Klaus: Hades, God of the Underworld. Kind of self-explanatory.
Five: Hermes, God of Travelers, Thievery and Cunning. Though Five definitely isn’t the most hospitable in the family, he does travel across space and time. He’s also cunning and willing to do whatever it takes to get what he wants.
Ben: Hecate, Goddess of Ghosts, Magic, and Crossroads. Not only is Ben a ghost, he also puts Klaus in front of a lot of proverbial crossroads by challenging his worldview and basically acting as his conscience.
Vanya: Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution. Often punishes people because they are arrogant, or because they’ve received good fortune that they didn’t deserve.
Ben: sucks that my childhood was ruined by dad, at least now I’m almost an adult so I’ll be able to leave
The horror:
do u have any hc for ben hargreeves?? i love him so much and theres literally not enough content for him :(
Sure! I have a couple, though not many considering that he’s rarely featured…
Ben has… many mental issues.
BPD I would say, because he seemingly really enjoys being spontaneous but at the same time can NOT handle other people’s shit
Also most likely had undiagnosed anxiety as a kid because he would say stuff like “my stomach hurts :(” (aka how children can communicate their anxiety because they literally don’t know the word) and everyone would go “sHiT rUN” bc eldritch monster.
He was wearing a hoodie when he died, which would have been an act of rebellion at the young age that he was, right?
….Reginald would never allow him to wear that on a mission
THEREFORE
I head canon that Ben did not die on a mission, but while running away.
Which would be why Klaus blames himself (”I didn’t sign up to save him or you!”) since he probably ran away multiple times before ben did and knew the risks
Reginald sat Ben and Five on either side of Vanya because he believed they were the strongest of the rest of them and could kill control her if she had an outburst
He never learned to drive but man he really really wanted to
Died and realized that physical laws didn’t apply to him anymore so he went absolutely buck wild for a little bit there
I’m talking full on standing between walls like a glitched out video game character for no reason other than its so fuckin funny
And driving Klaus INSANE with the I’m not touching you game
Also him and Klaus were really close as kids because Ben was the only one who believed his off the wall bullshit
Like when Klaus freaks out thinking that they’re all robots like Grace because they get cords attached to their heads at night - he’s sEEN IT GUYS - but they all think it’s just another one of his nightmares
But no, Ben’s like “hmm that might be legit”
And yet they can’t prove it because Reginald catches on to them and monitors them in different ways
He’s smart but not like…. in a competitive way, you feel me? Luther and Diego learned a lot through trying to one up each other (like Diego criticizing Luther’s knowledge of spacial phenomenons and Diego taunting Luther with his knowledge of specific wrestling terms)
And not in an identity crisis way, like Five, who needed to prove to HIMSELF that he was capable of great feats
Nope, Ben just wanted to learn stuff for shits and giggles
And lemme tell you just how much that pissed Reginald off :)
same weird family, same weird boy
I wanted to try something new, and since I recently discovered how to do the 3D effect thingy in Procreate, and also remembered that Procreate has a gif feature, I decided to mess around with those.
So have a glitchy Violin
