After doing way too many summons on this gala without getting Gala Elly I’m just gonna quit while I’m ahead and start hoarding for the New Years banner, lol. And in the mean-time I’ll probably be skipping the Christmas banner so that kinda sucks but oh well.
Either way, I still got a whole bunch of new stuff in my gala summons, and also I have a lot of thoughts about the new This Month in DL post, so I’ll just put the rest of my thoughts under the cut.
I swear to god this gala was the most summons I’ve done on a banner without getting a focus unit, lmao. This must be punishment for me getting like three copies of Gala Euden last time. I think I did like 250 summons total, which included over 10 5-stars, but no Gala Elly. I may or may not end up caving to my temptations and grinding adventurer stories and hard mode campaign levels to try and summon more, but I should just quit while I’m ahead.
Either way, my haul of 5-stars, new and dupes, is:
-Gala Ranzal
-Wedding Elly
-Xanfried
-Lea
-Jeanne
-Chthonius
-Dupes of B-Zardin, Victor,  Sylas, Cassandra, Gala Sarisse, Shinobi, Vayu, and Long Long [x2]. I also got another dupe Shinobi from the 5-star dragon voucher thing they just gave us.
Let’s just say that I don’t know how to feel about wanting Gala Elly and then getting Gala Ranzal + Wedding Elly, lmao. At least they’re both new units for me. Though it feels doubly bad that I got Gala Ranzal, 45MC’d him, and then almost immediately afterward I got Wedding Elly. Welp. I’m a Noelle main in eHMC anyway so it’s not a huge deal. But it’s nice to get my wind roster fleshed out more.
I’m honestly really happy about getting Xanfried, and it more or less makes up for not getting Gala Elly. He was one of those 5-stars who I was vaguely tempted to dream summon because it was bugging me that I still didn’t have him. Now I think the only launch 5-star I don’t have is Hildegarde.
I’m also happy about getting Lea, even if she isn’t a great unit and I have like six other flame swords. I really like her whole design aesthetic.
I don’t really care much about the new 5-star dragons I got, but they’re nice to have. The Long Long dupes are nice, though, since now I have a nearly MUB one for my Lin You.
Oh and I got regular Aeleen as well, and she was the last non-limited 4-star I needed to get, so that’s cool.
We’ve known about the next banner for a while because of datamines, but either way, I feel a little bit salty that the new 5-star is literally just Thaniel But Better [tm], lol. If it weren’t for the fact that Chocolatiers is a limited print, I’d say that she wouldn’t even be worth it when Thaniel’s a more accessible option who works just fine in HBH because the whole fight is literally tuned around his kit since until now he’s been the only real healer for it. I hope this doesn’t lead to people acting like Thaniel’s not good enough for eHBH anymore once Jiang Ziya comes out. I’ve invested way too much into him to switch. I did recently craft the HDT water spear, and I can use my H-Maritimus on Elly if I want to use her in eHBH, but I still want to stick to Thaniel.
And on that note my H-Maritimus is at 2UB, and between the sunlight stone we’ll get soon from the Megaman event, and the dragons I have at nearly max bond level, he’ll probably be MUB soon, which should push my Thaniel above 7k might, which will be great. He’s currently at about 6,850 might, between him having +200 augments, Chocolatiers at +190 augments, a MUB HDT1 water staff, etc etc. And we’re gonna be getting the Christmas event facility again soon so that’ll boost him up even further.
Also I’m really not interested in the new dragon since he’s just water Hastur and I don’t care about that at all, lol. Durant seems cool but I already have a 50MC Natalie, and he’s a 4-star so he’d be easy enough to get off-banner anyway.
I’m gonna probably skip the Christmas banner since I went all in on this gala and I want to save for the New Years banner. And since it looks like the Christmas banner will be in just a week or so, I won’t exactly have many resources saved up by that point anyway. I’m not really interested in any of the existing Christmas alts, though, so it’d probably be an easy skip anyway, unless the new ones really interest me.
I hope that them doing the Christmas rerun stuff earlier in the month than I expected means we might get a Christmas-themed raid event afterward, but I won’t get my hopes up. I think we’re due for a new raid event anyway, but that’ll probably be what the New Years event is anyway, I guess.
I’m curious to see how they handle the New Years stuff, since it’d feel weird to rerun the Ieyasu event/banner, with how that was themed around the current zodiac year. I think we’ll just get a new event with new units, and probably a new welfare unit along with the event itself. With how good Ieyasu was [and how salty I still am about not having him], I think it’ll be worth saving for that.
Though considering that the next story chapter is gonna apparently be Luca-focused, I’m guessing the January gala unit will be Gala Luca, who I’d be extremely interested in, so that’s another thing to worry about saving for, lol.
And on that note we’re getting Chapter 11 in about two weeks, and even though we got more or less the same teaser description for it as last time, we at least have a better look at the two new android characters. Even though they’re gonna be antagonists I still kinda hope we can get them as playable units some day.
We also got more info on the new endgame boss mode, and even though I still want more specific details about it, my current guess is that it’s basically going to be High IO. It’ll probably be themed around there being new android military squads to fight against, with the new bosses being their leaders or whatever. It’d be fun to get some genuinely difficult wave-based content, but it’d also be great if it means we can get facility upgrade materials a lot faster.
The reveal of the new mode being called The Agito Uprising also more or less confirms that rumour that’s been going around for a while, which also talked about how the Christmas banner would include a new Christmas Phoenix alt, that the new endgame bosses would drop 6-star weapons, that we’ll get a Monster Hunter collab in February, and that Mikoto, Ezelith, Naveed, and Xanfried will be at least some of the first units to get their sixth mana circle upgrades.
I’m honestly kinda happy to hear about Christmas Phoenix since that makes it more likely that the Christmas banner will be an easy skip for me, lmao. But anyway, I really wouldn’t be surprised to see the Agito Uprising bosses dropping weapons that are roughly between 5t3s and HDT weapons in power. we really need something like that to ease the transition into the eHDT cycle. I’ve basically given up on getting into eHJP/eHZD until something along those lines happens to make them more accessible, lol.
I still have a lot of questions about how the whole sixth mana circle upgrade thing will work, and sadly this didn’t really tell us anything new, but they at least said that they’re aware of how limited the pool of units used in endgame content is, and that they’ll try and make changes to make more units viable for that, so that’ll probably be the main point of the sixth mana circles. I have a feeling that only 5-star units will end up getting them, which would kinda suck. There’s a lot of 5-stars who need an upgrade, but there’s also a lot of other units who need an upgrade too.
They did mention that they’ll be doing something with 3-star units in general, though, so I’m really curious about that. I really really want them to rebalance 3-star units so that they all have 100% on-element status resistances. I could take or leave anything else, but they really need that sort of buff. There’s no real point to holding back a unit by giving them incomplete or off-element status resistances. Which also applies to welfare 4-stars. For example, my Xania would be way more viable in eHMS if she can get to 100% stun res without needing a print, and it’d just be great in general if Vixel could get an actually relevant status resistance for his element. I have a feeling they won’t change anything else about their kits, but even just that’d be nice.
My realistic prediction for what the sixth mana circle upgrades will actually include is that it’ll more or less just be more of what we already have with the current ones. It’ll probably just be a few flat stat upgrades, maybe some more coability node upgrades, and one or two upgrades to the skills/abilities of each unit. At the very least I think that units will get a third upgrade to their S2, since those only go up to two upgrade tiers whereas every unit gets three tiers to their S1. And there’s a lot they could do to improve units by buffing and adding stuff to their S2s. For example, Thaniel would really benefit from getting a regen heal added to his S2, but Jiang Ziya existing makes me think they’re just forgetting about Thaniel for good. I can’t really think of what they could do with any of the 5-stars, though. It’s possible but less likely that some units might also get upgrades to one of their abilities, but that’s a bit more uncertain than them getting skill upgrades, if only because there’s a lot of ability types that you just can’t upgrade at all, like 100% status resistance or skill prep abilities.
It’d be really nice if they changed the second ability of 3-stars to 100% status resistance and gave them something entirely new for their third ability, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they just buff the 25% status resistance abilities of those units to 50% status resistance.
Also, we got more details about how we’re getting higher-level void battles added, and higher difficulties added to the void dragons, which I think is a necessary addition in order to help bridge the gap toward endgame content. As it is now, void battles aren’t really worth doing outside of endeavors. But it’s also nice that they’ve added augments to the void dragons and stuff.
In general they’d been making a lot of steps toward easing the progression toward endgame content, especially with the other changes they made to Avenue to Fortune, and them also adding augments to HDT drops. It’s nice that they’re aware of the issue of how steep the progression curve is right now, but it also really makes it clear that it’s a genuine problem that they’re currently being stuck trying to fix. I don’t really blame them for it, though. These things happen with games like this. I’m just glad that they’re actually addressing it instead of leaving it unchanged.
It’ll sadly take a while for them to add all of the new void bosses on the same tier as the Volcanic Chimera, but it’ll be nice to eventually have more accessible options to get into other eHDTs and stuff.
Anyway a whole bunch has been going on lately and I think it’s on a good track. Honestly my biggest issue right now is that since they changed the UI I keep clicking the wrong buttons when I’m trying to go between menus, lmao.
Oh and yeah the Megaman event is a thing that’s happening. There’s really not a lot to say about it because it’s so barebones and gameplay-focused, but it’s fun, and I like how much they’re leaning into the aesthetic of it. Megaman himself is a really goddamn weird unit, though. I like how much he’s apparently designed to play like he’s in an actual Megaman game, but it’s a weird playstyle to get used to for this game. And I still prefer Xania as a flame wand, lol.

Skittering Out from the Underdark...
Quick Overview of What I'm Looking For:
So that you don't have to waste your time scrolling, here's a basic rundown of what I want before I get into more detail:
M // only
Modern Fantasy - Original Content
Long-term, gradual introduction of multiple characters
Variance in character types on both sides
Mixture of darker themes along with the fluff
Focus on story-line is absolutely necessary, but smut is welcome/encouraged
For the above reason, 21+ only, please (characters also must be of age!)
Roleplay via email - Email: [email protected]
A Little About Me:
29 years old, female
Lives in the UK, but has no issue roleplaying with anyone in any time zone
Works Mon - Fri 8am - 4pm
Nearly 20 years roleplay experience
Laid back personality, not elitist when it comes to writing
Happy/able to reply several times a day, but is content with only every day or two if you’re busy. Happy to wait longer for given reasons - life happens
Writes multiple paragraphs, but happy to strip this down when the roleplay requires a quicker pace
No-No List:
No underage characters
No bathroom play
If you've gotten this far and you're interested, then please proceed to my more detailed sections below!
Character Overview:
Multiple-character roleplays are super important to me. I have a whole roster of characters I’d love to introduce, each with unique personalities. For those of you wondering, I do quite enjoy playing powerful male characters. Not too powerful as to be completely invulnerable; that’d be boring! But I do love to flash power here and there, and I quite like the dynamic of a powerful individual stalking his way through lesser mortals. Don’t be surprised if I play at least one of these types during the course of a roleplay, as I have this type of character to suit both protagonist and antagonist roles. As mentioned previously, I do build in vulnerabilities or limit these types of characters in some way, because threat is always fun!
I also love to play rotten, sadistic characters. It’s important to state that I don’t shy away from the darker side of things, but I won’t ever begin a roleplay as this type of character. I want to be careful that this doesn’t turn into an abuse-fest roleplay, so I will always start off with either a morally good or grey character so that some potentially nice things are worked into the mix first. My bad guys don’t have limits, so you need to let me know if you do. I won’t, however, involve any kind of bathroom play in my roleplay, or any kind of underage sexual content.
My characters are all usually in the mid-twenties to mid-thirties range, age-wise. Whatever type of character you’d like me to start off with, I’ll no doubt have one who fits. From muscular, dominant hunk types to manipulative little feminine shits, I have characters all along the spectrum. I’d appreciate if you did, too. Don’t only come at me with a collection of frail little flowers that need looking after, because while I’ve got characters that are totally down with that, I don’t want ‘protective dom’ to be my only role.
Setting:
As mentioned in my quick-list, I’m looking for modern fantasy, with dark overtones. I’m a fan of violence and action, though that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy grasping at the lovely little moments of peace in between.
Now, I DO have my own general modern fantasy setting that I sometimes use just to give a bit of groundwork to the story. My fantastical world in question revolves around a place, hidden from humans and run by mages, called the ‘Hearth’. It’s sort of a… central exchange where all (or mostly all) kinds of races are free to move around, meet up, have a drink, yada yada. A few races are banned with the odd exceptions (this can be discussed), and it’s generally a safe haven for all types (usually). Patrons also make use of portable portals (or port-a-ports) - a combination of technology with magic crammed inside, which allows one to carry a portal to a predefined location in their pocket. There’s much more to it than that, but it’s entirely optional whether you’d like me to throw this out there or not. The Hearth is handy, because it can exist as additional fantasy flair, whilst still allowing the roleplay to take place in a very human environment - if desired. It’s also a pretty good way of working in new supernatural characters without giving the impression that they all happen to live in the same city and bump into each other all of the time. Portals feed into it from all over the world, making it very international! As an added bonus, if you did want to start things off in the Hearth, it’d mean I’d have to start the roleplay off in order to describe it to you, which might be an added bonus to all of those out there who are first-post shy.
Other than this, I am more than open to other ideas. I love world-building and working on plots with my partner (though surprises are also brilliant). Pretty much any race you can think of goes, though I’m unfortunately not really into the furry scene.
Extra Comments:
Well, I’ve never really done the whole picture-sharing, face-claim thing. I’m old-school, and I describe my characters as best as I can, letting imagination do the rest. If you want to show me some pictures of your characters, then do go ahead! But I won’t have anything to send back.
I like to be friends. I like to chat and stuff. I’ll start this whole thing off over email, but once we’re comfortable and set up, we can chat via Discord or have a separate email thread for OOC.
I’m not asking you to be a intensely flowery writer, but I do expect a certain standard of writing. This isn’t to say I’ll bite your head off for a spelling mistake (I reply on my phone sometimes and autocorrect is a bitch), but I’d really like you to have consistently good grammar, spelling etcetera.
I’ll write anything usually from 3 - (is there an infinity symbol somewhere?) paragraphs. My intro posts will always be longer, so please don’t let it spook you. I’ll be fine with however much you write as long as I get a couple of decent sized paragraphs back, but there are always exceptions where I can accept something less. Once we’re used to each other, size isn’t really a problem as long as the content is there.
Please, get in touch! Bring all your weird fantasy races and ideas with you, and let’s do this!
Contact:
Discord may become available depending on how we get along and if it’s requested.

Ben 10 Reboot Review/Rant
aka: Why This Show Sucks
aaka: 333 Follower Milestone Special
Ah, how I have absolutely dreaded the day I have to write this review, or at least start writing it. Your boy Sc00t here, and welcome to my review of the Ben 10 Reboot.
Also, y'all too good to me, can’t believe over 300 people actually follow me and like seeing my trash. Thank you all for following, and I hope you guys continue to enjoy the content on my blog, ^^
I’ve been putting this off for quite some time now, for obvious reasons, but it’s time to finally crack down on this shit.
So, surprisingly, I actually did something I NEVER DO for shows I don’t like,
I actually watched multiple episodes for the sake of this review, DESPITE how painful it was to watch. I didn’t wanna judge it based on one or two episodes, so instead, I saw FOUR.
Yup, almost an hour of this horrendous show, just to write a stupid review.
There’s ALOT to cover here, so I’ll try to do it in an orderly fashion, and try to address all of the various issues this show has. For now, let’s start off with:
1: The Length of the Episodes Ben 10 OS (Original Series), AF (Alien Force), UA (Ultimate Alien), and OV (Omniverse), despite their differences, all had one thing in common:
All the episodes were a good 22 - 25 minutes long. This allowed plots to develop and flow at a steady and reasonable pace, nothing was rushed, and more effort was put into the production of them.
In the Reboot episodes average at 11 minutes, like a Spongebob episode, which results in a shitty premise having to move along quickly just to make with the little time they have. This was also very obviously done to save money, 11-minute episodes with simplistic, shitty plots are significantly easier to produce that 24-minute episodes with proper pacing and decent/good plots. Short running time + incredibly cheap animation = profit and easy mass production of trash.
2: The Pacing
As I’m sure you can tell, the pacing of each individual episode is GARBAGE, it moves along so fast, that if you’re not paying full attention to the show, you actually won’t know what the fuck’s happening at all. And the running time isn’t actually the problem at all. We’ve seen shows convey their plot efficiently with the same exact running time, just watch any episode from the first three seasons of SpongeBob, and you’ll know precisely what I’m talking about.
3: The Animation
The animation in this show is the WORST we’ve seen in the franchise, it’s just so simplistic, flat, uninspired, and just down-right stiff at times. Action sequences just don’t flow well at all, and the designs of each and every character looks like it was slapped together in just a few minutes. I mean, just compare to ANY of the previous series’ animation, compare to other cartoons, and then just see it for what it is, and you’ll find that no matter how you look at it, it’s fucking terrible, and LAZY.
4: Forgettable Villains
The various antagonists that appear throughout the series are bland, poorly designed, and are just so damn forgettable. I can’t even remember one name of any one villain from this show. They never left any sort of impact on me at all, and there isn’t anything even remotely interesting about them. The original series had many memorable and interesting antagonists, that had well fleshed out personalities and goals. Vilgax, Kevin, Hex, Charmcaster, Dr. Animo, Ghostfreak, and all these other foes that Ben faced off against posed a real, genuine threat to him, and here lies another problem. The Reboot’s “antagonists” are not intimidating in the slightest, and actually don’t serve as a true threat to Ben at ALL. They’re pathetic to watch, really.
5: Max is Irrelevant
In the Original Series, Max was an extremely prominent character, and was often just as involved in the plot of the episode as Ben and Gwen were, and the plot twist at the end of Season 1 where it was revealed that Max is a Plumber and that he fought Vilgax in the past was a great plot point and reveal, it added more depth to his character, and made him more interesting. But in the Reboot, he is almost entirely absent in some episodes. Basically he’ll just show up at the beginning of an episode, preach about some moral that Ben completely ignores, and then just is either hardly shown, or not shown at all for the rest of the episode. He’s become irrelevant, and doesn’t affect the narrative of the story at all, He doesn’t play any sort of significant role at ALL.
6: Gwen and Ben’s relationship
One of the shittiest decisions made in the design of the show, was to completely fuck up the well-established dynamic of Ben and Gwen, in the Original Series, they’re two cousins who constantly bicker and sass eachother, but they clearly cared for one another, and had many tender and compassionate moments that effectively fleshed out their love for one another. Gwen was also the more rational-thinking and logical of the two, and never actually supported Ben’s utter stupidity or rash decisions. Reasonably so, in the sequel series’ they’ve matured and have grown out of their constant arguing and sass, but still tease each other from time to time. In the Reboot, however, Gwen, more often-then-not, completely INDULGES Ben in his poor decision-making and stupidity, to the point where I’d say she’s nearly as ignorant and doltish as he is. Gwen is simply far too nice and encouraging to Ben, which utterly destroys the original dynamic portrayed in previous series’
7: The Aliens
With all the painful problems with this god forsaken show, I almost forgot to talk about one of the most important parts. The.
Aliens.
They just look so fucking shitty in the new animation style, and some of the new design choices for them just make absolutely no sense. Like, why is Upgrade PURPLE instead of GREEN? The Omnitrix is black, green, and white, so it, y'know KIND OF JUST MAKES SENSE FOR UPGRADE TO BE THESE COLORS. And why the fuck is Stinkfly some stupid-ass looking bug-themed Superhero? Why doesn’t he ACTUALLY RESEMBLE SOME TYPE OF BUG. It just makes no sense, why these things were changed. And to be perfectly honest, one of my favorite Aliens from the Original Series, Ripjaws, was actually taken out from the roster in exchange for Overflow, or Waterhazard, or whatever the hell that water-themed fuck is named. He’s a bland Alien that should’ve never even been involved in this series to begin with, he wasn’t part of the Original 10. ANOTHER, issue with the Aliens is the voice-acting, alot of them are actually portrayed by voice actors I like, John DiMaggio, Greg Cipes, Josh Keaton, Travis Willingham, etc. But the thing is, their voices, don’t even fit them, at all, so whatever they spout out of their mouths, just sounds awful. In all previous series’ the Aliens’ VAs fit them perfectly, and alot of them had some pretty badass voices. Basically, when you assign a VA to a character, it has to sound as if that voice could ACTUALLY come from that character. If the voice isn’t matching the face, then we have a clear issue. It’s not so much as the voice acting is bad in the Reboot, but it’s just doesn’t fit with the Aliens. But interestingly enough, they were sure to find the worst possible voice actor they could find for my favorite of them all, Heatblast. His voice used to be so fucking badass, and that was because he was voiced by Steve Blum, a veteran VA, the voice fit the character PERFECTLY. In the Reboot however? They got some fucking Disney Channel actor, Daryl Sabara. I didn’t even know of this guy’s EXISTENCE, until I looked at the cast of the Reboot. This guy’s, voice is incredibly obnoxious and irritating, which is the EXACT OPPOSITE OF HEATBLAST’S VOICE IN FOREGOING SERIES’. One more thing I’d like to point out, was them switching Wildmutt out for Wildvine, again, this is another decision that makes no sense. WILDVINE WAS NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL 10, he doesn’t even show up in way later in the Original, so why is he replacing one that was at the very start of the series? AND FINALLY, we come to our last issue. The transformations are pathetically animated, it genuinely looks as if he is being covered in some large alien suit, IT DOESN’T look as if he’s actually BECOMING that alien, and that’s a big problem when he’s supposed to, y'know be literally morphing into them.
8: Stiffness
One thing to notice throughout various episodes, is that conversations, and the overall voice acting, feel really stiff, and carry absolutely no weight, kind of like a piece of cardboard. There are even extended scenes of pointless dialogue that don’t affect or further the plot of the episode, in any sense of the word.
9: The Intro
Ben 10 (2016) has without a doubt the least amount of effort put into it’s Intro. You see some green asteroid “crash” into Earth, suddenly you see Ben wearing the Watch, he slams it. And we see the 10 Aliens, introduced in a similar, but poorly executed fashion. We hear “BEN 10” being chanted in the background for a solid 11 seconds. Suddenly we see Ben giving Gwen and Max low-fives, and then runs forward.
End of Intro
Now, does it sound like I described alot of shit? Not really, right? That’s because nothing actually happens in this intro, it conveys nothing, and is just lazily slapped together. I remember the Original Series’ intro, it was a catchy theme song that quickly explained the premise of the show in it’s first 18 seconds. The intro goes on and shows actual interesting shit, like Ben transforming into some Aliens, and some nice visuals. The Reboot’s intro shows us the bare minimum of what they could ACTUALLY be showing us, instead of them quickly jumping on screen for a tenth of second, why not illustrate at least one of their abilities with a short clip? The Original’s does this incredibly well in the last 10 seconds, briefly showing us the capabilities of some of the Aliens with incredibly short clips, you could actually be impressed by what you were witnessing. The Reboot’s intro is just so mundane, and devoid of any sort of interesting material, and it’s the only intro in the franchise that’s SLOW-PACED. All of the previous entries’ intros have been fast-paced. And while you may consider Ultimate Alien’s to be slow, it quickly scrolls through a large variety of Aliens while playing epic music, that’s fast enough, and certainly impressive enough for me. The Reboot’s intro is in-fact, so bad, that when my sister watched it, she actually started LAUGHING. And when you’re cackling at an intro that is CLEARLY not trying to be funny, well then, you’ve got a pretty shitty opening.
10: Ben’s Character
Okay, now I know Ben has always done stupid shit in all of his incarnations. However, his character seems ridiculously dumbed down in the Reboot, and he just seems as mindless as ever, in the other series’ we saw how he wasn’t always a goofball kid, he took himself and those around him seriously at times, and we were able to respect him as a character for these moments. Like in Alien Force, in the episode: “The Gauntlet”, there’s a scene where Ben stands up to Cash, not by using force, or the Omnitrix, but with words, he simply calmly and intelligently calls him the fuck out, and walks away. It was a well-written moment, and showed a deeper, more mature side of Ben. And in the episode “Framed”, where Ben doesn’t finish off Kevin even when he has the perfect opportunity to do so, knowing that he isn’t worth it, and showing a more compassionate side, even to a dangerous enemy. Ben doesn’t have any moments like this at all in the Reboot, and it really takes away from his character, he essentially becomes a one-dimensional character, that really doesn’t have any defining characteristics outside of being a goofball kid.
The Verdict:
Ben 10 (2016) is a clear attempt to appeal to a much younger audience, of what Man of Action assumes to be 6 year olds with short attention-spans that don’t give a flying fuck about depth, good animation, and proper storytelling. This show wasn’t made with any genuine thought or care, it was made to sell toys, and make money, while utilizing as little resources and time as possible. Not only does this show fail as a Ben 10 cartoon, it fails AS a cartoon in of itself. It insults every aspect of what makes good animation and a good show, and is just disgusting as a product. And I’m afraid that the only positive thing I am capable of saying about this show is that it isn’t Breadwinners, and that’s about it. So, yeah, don’t watch this show.
End of Review/Final Words Anyway I hope you all enjoyed this review, (if you even read it) and I know I’m late as fuck on reviewing this steaming pile of horse shit, but I promised it months ago, so I wanted to get it out for you guys, plus, I was in the mood to get pissed about something, and believe it or not, I actually enjoy writing these, they’re fun for me, and I hope they’re fun for you to read as well. And if you disagree with every little thing I said, and you ACTUALLY enjoy this show. Then that’s perfectly fine, you’re entitled to your own opinion, and your own interests, but I wanted to get mine out in the open, so I hope you can respect my opinion as I will respect yours. What other reviews can you expect from me in the future? Well, I currently have two game reviews in the works, but it may be quite some time before they are done, considering how incredibly lazy I am. But who knows? I’m sure I’ll find something else I hate, and either review or give my thoughts on it in the future.
Once again, if you actually made it to the end of this review, I heavily appreciate you taking time out of your day just to read me bitch about some stupid cartoon.
And I’ll see ya around, :P

Characters Overview:
Multiple-character roleplays are super important to me. I have a whole roster of characters I’d love to introduce, each with unique personalities. For those of you wondering, I do quite enjoy playing powerful male characters. Not too powerful as to be completely invulnerable; that’d be boring! But I do love to flash power here and there, and I quite like the dynamic of a powerful individual stalking his way through lesser mortals. Don’t be surprised if I play at least one of these types during the course of a roleplay, as I have this type of character to suit both protagonist and antagonist roles. As mentioned previously, I do build in vulnerabilities or limit these types of characters in some way, because threat is always fun!
I also love to play rotten, sadistic characters. It’s important to state that I don’t shy away from the darker side of things, but I won’t ever begin a roleplay as this type of character. I want to be careful that this doesn’t turn into an abuse-fest roleplay, so I will always start off with either a morally good or grey character so that some potentially nice things are worked into the mix first. My bad guys don’t have limits, so you need to let me know if you do. I won’t, however, involve any kind of bathroom play in my roleplay, or any kind of underage sexual content.
My characters are all usually in the mid-twenties to mid-thirties range, age-wise. Whatever type of character you’d like me to start off with, I’ll no doubt have one who fits. From muscular, dominant hunk to manipulative little ‘femboy’, I have characters all along the spectrum. I’d appreciate if you did, too.
Setting:
As mentioned in my quick-list, I’m looking for modern fantasy.
Now, I DO have my own general modern fantasy setting that I sometimes use just to give a bit of groundwork to the story. My fantastical world in question revolves around a place, hidden from humans and run by mages, called the ‘Hearth’. It’s sort of a… central exchange where all (or mostly all) kinds of races are free to move around, meet up, have a drink, yada yada. A few races are banned with the odd exceptions (this can be discussed), and it’s generally a safe haven for all types (usually). Patrons also make use of portable portals (or port-a-ports) - a combination of technology with magic crammed inside, which allows one to carry a portal to a predefined location in their pocket. There’s much more to it than that, but it’s entirely optional whether you’d like me to throw this out there or not. The Hearth is handy, because it can exist as additional fantasy flair, whilst still allowing the roleplay to take place in a very human environment - if desired. It’s also a pretty good way of working in new supernatural characters without giving the impression that they all happen to live in the same city and bump into each other all of the time. Portals feed into it from all over the world, making it very international! As an added bonus, if you did want to start things off in the Hearth, it’d mean I’d have to start the roleplay off in order to describe it to you, which might be an added bonus to all of those out there who are first-post shy.
Other than this, I am more than open to other ideas. I love world-building and working on plots with my partner (though surprises are also brilliant). Pretty much any race you can think of goes, though I’m unfortunately not really into the furry scene.
Extra Comments:
Well, I’ve never really done the whole picture-sharing, face-claim thing. I’m old-school, and I describe my characters as best as I can, letting imagination do the rest. If you want to show me some pictures of your characters, then do go ahead! But I won’t have anything to send back.
I like to be friends. I like to chat and stuff. I’ll start this whole thing off over email, but once we’re comfortable and set up, we can chat via Discord or have a separate email thread for OOC.
I’m not asking you to be a intensely flowery writer, but I do expect a certain standard of writing. This isn’t to say I’ll bite your head off for a spelling mistake (I reply on my phone sometimes and autocorrect is a bitch), but I’d really like you to have consistently good grammar, spelling etcetera.
I’ll write anything usually from 3 - (is there an infinity symbol somewhere?) paragraphs. My intro posts will always be longer, so please don’t let it spook you. I’ll be fine with however much you write as long as I get a couple of decent sized paragraphs back, but there are always exceptions where I can accept something less. Once we’re used to each other, size isn’t really a problem as long as the content is there.

Discord may become available depending on how we get along and if it’s requested.
