Matt, as predicted as ever, was just staring across the scenery through the window like a doe-eyed child. The trees rushing past in a blur. "Hey Tom, are we there yet?" Matt asked, his eyes never leaving the scene.
"No." Tom nonchalantly answered.
Matt waited, letting the silence stretch. The car was silent, the only sound coming from the engine as it rumbled along the road. The narcissist humming as he tapped on the glass before speaking, his tone becoming expectant. "How about now?"
"Still no." Tom replied with the same response. Again, Matt waited, tilting his head to the side as he patiently waited for a different answer. "Now?"
"MATT."
Tord's voice, sharp and firm came from the back seat, breaking Matt from his trance.
"For god's sake, can you stop asking the same question every freaking minute?" He exclaimed.
The Norwegian wearily sighed. His robotic arm resting on the car door arm rest, slouching as he rest a hand unto his cheek. The mechanical arm, an unfortunate reminder of the explosion and the betrayal Tord unleash upon his friends long before despite already given a second chance of becoming a good person. His eye on the burned wound twitching slightly.
"I'm just curious! How can you blame me for being impatient when we've been driving for what feels like forever?" Matt whined, his brows furrowed as he huffed in annoyance.
"Because you've asked the same question fifteen times in the span of an hour" Levi, the ever laid back guy deadpanned, unamused by the constant repetition. He took of his earplugs for a second to reply. The korean was listening to some indie music, one of his favorites though Matt's complaining ever loud enough can be heard.
Matt leaned back, crossing his arms over his chest in a grumpy manner. "Well I can't help it. I'm bored." Tord rolled his eyes, turning around to glare at Matt.
"And it's not our fault that you get bored easily. Maybe you have brought some sort of entertainment before we left."
"But I-"
"Seriously, you've been asking the same question since we started driving!" Tord complained, "It's getting annoying. Just sleep or something. We should've left you at home."
Matt let out a exasperated gasp before glaring at Tord. Slumping into the back seat. The car ride fell into an uneasy silence again, the only audible sounds were from the car engine and Edd's soft humming. Just as Matt was about to open his mouth once more (for the record, he wasn't sure what to say this time, but he felt a strong urge to break this tense atmosphere), Tom spoke up, his tone slightly irritated.
"Could you all not start arguing again? We're not even close to our destination."
Random rambles:
I would really love to see an Aventio/Ratiorine animatic with the song 'I won't say I'm in love' from Disney's Hercules movie. Like, Ratio is just refusing to acknowledge the fact he has feelings for Aventurine/Kakavasha, meanwhile the Trailblazers (Stelle and Caelus), maybe possibly Topaz and March being the muses attempting to convince him to accept it. Or maybe a Haikaveh/Kavetham version of the song with Kaveh singing, while almost the entire Sumeru cast + Traveler and Paimon being the muses. Or maybe the other way around with Aventurine/Kakavasha or Alhaitham😂

Reasons why I love Benlie:
(Though I will admit, Benkai is not a bad ship to me and Kai seems pretty good. Though I still prefer Julie and Benlie.)
A lot of people in the Ben 10 fandom don’t really like this ship these days. Even back when UAF was airing, most were gushing over Gwevin and there was very little Benlie content like AMVs, fanfics or fanart. Many view Julie as a bland character and while she could have been fleshed out more, I think that’s a bit unfair as well as the idea of her being controlling, toxic or abusive. On the flip side are those that view Ben as a misogynistic incel who only saved Jennifer, Elena and Eunice to get in their pants, when he did care a lot more about Julie than some say. I am aware that there are overzealous stans who treat Benlie like the greatest romance in history and usually do it to drag down Omniverse, but many of us who still ship or enjoy it do so because we wish it could have been done better.
I like these two as a couple, partially because they’re a nice contrast to Gwen and Kevin. Gwevin was the “bad boy and smart girl” opposites attract, angst filled romance people loved. Ben and Julie by contrast are people with similar interests and personalities like Sumo Slammers, horror movies, sports and can be pretty headstrong while having a more compassionate side. Both also used “you’re not a monster, you’re better than this” to get the Dragon/Ship to come to their senses, ironically both incidents involved the Forever Knights. Friends to lovers can be overused or cliche but it can also be wholesome.
One other thing I love about these two is how they bounce off each other. Julie is someone besides Gwen who can remind Ben that there’s more to life besides being a hero, something the original Ben 10,000 struggled with and who pushes him to reign in his jerkass tendencies. Sort of like Robin and Starfire in Teen Titans. She brings out the best in him and he is aware that he’s not a great boyfriend, but he does better than most give him credit for. No hate to Benkai fans but they really brought out the worst in each other while Julie got the short end of the stick from the writers.
I also really like how she’s the one that saved him from being corrupted by the power of Dagon, keeping him from letting the power go to his head which is a nice parallel to Azmuth and Zenith. She was kind of the fourth member of the team before Rook, having helped Ben during Big Chill’s pregnancy, and helping stop the Highbreed war, Ultimate Kevin’s rampage and Ben from abusing the power of Ascalon. She also saved him twice from Elena and as well as when he got his hand cut off and was trapped in the Null Void and reassured him when his identity was leaked.
As stated above, many of us Benlie fans ship it because of its missed potential. The show should have really fleshed out their parents more as we never see them interact and Julie’s dad was shown to hate Ben in his only appearance. Julie could have staged an intervention with Carl and Sandra after the Ultimate Kevin incident and over their concerns about Ben’s fame as that arc needed more consequences. I think Julie would also have been fun to see interacting with Rook as well as the other characters Omniverse introduced.
One other reason I really like Benlie is it has a similar vibe to some of my other favorite ships like Hodaka x Hina or Connverse and it feels very animesque, which makes since as the series is quite similar to a magical girl anime. They genuinely care about each other despite their ups and downs and have a very cute vibe. I headcanon both as bisexual or biromantic given Ben’s “crush” on Nemesis and his interactions with Rook, Rex and Kevin. Julie also seems a bit queer, coming from a strict family, keeping secrets like Ship and slowly breaking out of her shell, realizing what she wants out of life.
People use them arguing or Ben screwing up as a reason it was toxic but I like seeing characters work out their issues and succeeding. They got together in AF and were fairly stable. Then conflicts arose in UA when Ben became famous and Julie began her own career in tennis, but they appear to have reconciled by the finale. Then OV could have had them as partners with Rook, having worked out their issues. Regardless of whether you like them as a couple, fans can all agree that Julie deserved better from the writers and isn’t as bad as the fandom makes her out to be. I’m aware that they were not a perfect romance but they don’t need to be for people to like them.
Do you think it's a coincidence that these two men's profiles are literally beside each other??? Not only that fact that they literally know each other, are imaginary characters, both (I think) work together in the IPC (though I'm not entirely checked out if the Intelligentsia Guild is actually part of the IPC) and have chest windows??? And the other fact that Aventurine asked Dr. Ratio where is his "handsome" bust of his when they meet up in one of the rooms in the Reverie in the Penacony chapter??? Nah, If I have to be honest, I think they are certified husbands to me! 😌🤗☺🥰😊 Also btw, here is list of all of my 5 stars that I currently have so far! I'm currently trying to pull for Topaz and Numby, however, I have no luck so far😫🥺😭
How about Benrooklie? Sounds like a good ship name combination for me.
(Also, YESSSSSS! POLYAMORY LETS GGGGOOOOO!!!! I would really like to contribute some fanart for this type of shipping. I'm already learning to do art anyways)
Like bro, one of my favorite ships with two of them in one🥰🥺
drew these guys a while ago. dunno what their ship name is but eh. we're rollin
