I'm curious if you have any thoughts on what Ben Paul would look like if he was alive years after S1 of TWDG :> I honestly prefer to imagine both him & Kenny going off on their own adventures after S1, because Idk if I'd've had Kenny as part of S2, it felt like when he returned it became less Clem's story & more his. That might be controversial among fans but it's how I feel :s I like to imagine Ben, Kenny & Sarita forming their own little family in fact <3
I'd expect Ben would end up with shaggier hair after a while but I wouldn't mind knowing what he'd look like with short, spiked up hair ;>
IM SORRY BOTH THE ASK AND DRAWING ARE OLD- but I came across the sketch I had eugeugeh. I do not have many headcanons but behind the cut is just a rant about. Kenny mostly. Too much should I warn? But yah I'm sorry it took me like 5 months lol
The only headcanon (regarding Ben's appearance) is that he'd keep his school jacket for as long as possible. Until it thorns apart. Or until he dies.
I'm big fan of Ben lives possibility btw I've gotta draw sum about that sometime (I say, about every twdg character i like,)
And dude, do I agree about Kenny. Man doesn't belong in season 2. The character they made him to be in the second season is not Kenny, it's just a nostalgia element. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy, I'm biased as hell, I break that hug choice every time. But it made the character development in the first season just.... pointless. "For some reason, I saved that piece of shit Ben", man, that quote just disappoints me. Kenny lost everything. Father and husband of none no more, which was pretty much the arc of Kenny on the first season?? I think? . Everything he loved and he had he lost, and he killed the person responsible for it. But not as revenge, he killed a kid out of mercy. He saved the boy from suffering a painful death, and that was forgiveness, to the reason he hadn't any. He took a decision he would be fully responsible of, when it was time for him to go. And he was perfect.
Hell, if he had appeared during season 2, I do prefer the Kenny as Carver idea. Clementine wasn't even that close to Kenny in the past, the player was, so even then it feels... off, off to be forced to care about a man that says so much he wants to protect you. (They're not really family, but is as if Kenny tries to protect and have Clem on his side, to have Clem's loyalty through and through. Though he does let her go and is proud of her on her individuality... hm.) But still, I mean, second season Kenny is not first season Kenny, and it isn't even a change that made sense. If he had been antagonist (which pretty much feels like it in the Canon story already), he should have had some other background story, no Sarita or company. Maybe then the cynical view he has would have mattered. The violence and anger and whatever else. For him to change that way was a consequence of him losing what he represented, protection of family? Wasn't failure and grief and acceptance meant to be important after all?
But otherwise yea I think it would've been pretty cool if Ben survived :3 I am a sucker for tales of redemption, forgiveness, and found family. And I hadn't thought about Kenny, Ben, and Sarita, but hell yeah. Man, even if they appeared in the second season, it would've been interesting if the choice wasn't between two individuals, but between two families. Ben already had a relationship with Clem! He appreciated her and calls her his only friend during season 1, he did leave her behind during that scene, -but the point of Ben was that- He was a coward all the season, until when he wasn't. He wanted to help Lee help Clem. They would've had an interesting sibling relationship-? also Ben had a young sister before the apocalypse so ooooh projection and parallels and shi. And if Ben had lived, he would've completed his development to something close to bravery-?
Well, I don't know, at least I think that'd be one interesting way to bring back old characters. Otherwise, Kenny should only be mentioned on dialogue maximum. The way I see it.
(I repeat the same thing over and over when I talk about something I'm sorry
(I've developed no language skills whatsoever in my life
(Yippee

Here's another one: Using any character from TWDG, make three teams of five for survival:
Team 1: The Best Possible Team
Team 2: The Most Incompetent Team
Team 3: The Most Dysfunctional Team
Lee, Javier, Clem, Luke, AJ
2. Gabe, Sarah, Ben, Marlon, Becca
3. Kenny, Lilly, Nick, David, Mitch

I don't think I've requested this yet so here I am
Could you please write s1 groups reaction to a young reader (like, 9 years old or smth) looking after a toddler, sort of 1-3 year old? Like, the reader is the sort of kid that's depressingly wise beyond their years. Sort of like dynamic between clem and aj (s3) except the reader is wayyy younger than clem was in s3. (IF possible, could you add Carley and Lillys reactions too? If not for any reason that is perfectly fine)
Have a good day, hope you're well 💗💗💗
Hi! Sorry I didn’t get to this earlier😭I hope you enjoy it though!💗
Let’s say one day Lee and Kenny went on a run to find food
While they’re in an old store, they hear something fall over
You had accidentally knocked over a can
The toddler you were looking after got scared of the noise and started crying
“Shhh!”
But it was too late
Lee and Kenny had found you
They immediately brought you and your toddler back to the motel
Lee had assumed your guys parents had gotten bit, or maybe you ran away or got lost from them
He takes care of both of you
But sometimes feels like he doesn’t need to since you’re so smart
Sometimes he gets a bit scared of how smart you are
You were a 9 year old with the knowledge of someone way older than you
He’s super impressed with your knowledge though
And he takes care of you either way
When Kenny and Lee found you, Kenny wasn’t that surprised
He saw two little kids with no parents, a common sight to see in the apocalypse
But he noticed how smart you were
You knew how to survive
And you knew how to care for a young child
Even though you were also one yourself
Like Lee, he’s impressed with how smart you are
But he finds it sad too, because he knows how you probably gained that knowledge
He also finds it incredible how well you care for kids
Even kids your age or older
Clementine DEFINITELY looks up to you
You’re like an older sister for her
Even though you’re the same age
You know as much as Lee or Kenny does
She asks you to teach her how to care for the toddler with you
You teach her about taking care of children and survival
Clem loves hearing you talk about caring for kids or stories about outside the walls of the motel
Katjaa finds it so sad how much you know:(
But she loves taking care of your toddler with you
She would never ask what happened to you and your toddlers parents but would try and be like a mother figure for you
She’ll babysit your toddler so you can be a kid again
“I’ll watch them, play with Clem and Duck. It’s ok.”
She loves taking care of you
Brushing your hair, Finding you things on runs, Sharing her foods she knows you like
Ben finds it so sad:(
He’s shocked you know more about survival than him
And that you know so much about caring for your toddler
He would never ask about your parents
He knows what it’s like
He might be like an older brother to you
Carley would immediately feel terrible for you and your toddler!:(
She tries getting you and Clem to get closer to be friends
But understands if you don’t want to
She’ll take care of your toddler with you
Her and Lee might be like parental figures for you and your toddler
She feels so bad about your parents though
S1 Lilly liked kids, in the flashbacks with Clementine she was so sweet
She’ll keep her “tough girl” act around her dad though
She’ll take care of your toddler if you need her too
And will protect you (if you need it)
She admires how skilled you are
But finds it so sad at the same time
She probably won’t act as a mother figure for you
