Yet another update for Jay lol He's a character I've updated the most it feels. But I like this redraw of him, so maybe this will be the last one in a long while, haha. But I needed to make an updated image of him for his groupshot image, and because I was never settled on his last image, so enjoy!💚

In Defense of Julie Yamamoto

I want to talk about Julie as I’ve noticed she gets a lot of hate from all corners of the fandom. Omniverse fans consider her boring, some fans write her as a toxic girlfriend especially Bwen shippers and she got the short end of the stick from the writers. As an Asian American, I want more Asian rep as well so that’s another reason I’m defending her and am still salty about how OV treated her.

The thing is, she always tried to be supportive of Ben since the start of Alien Force. She was willing to help during Big Chill’s pregnancy and tried to reassure Ben after his identity was leaked. While she was upset with the way the arrogant clone acted in Duped, she accepted Ben had responsibilities as a hero. She only got mad at him after learning he snuck off to watch the Sumo Slammers movie. That wasn’t even the first time he did something like that. Back in Pet Project, he lied so he could stay home and watch a movie. That doesn’t make him a bad guy, he probably doesn’t get much time to himself as a hero. The problem is a lack of communication as they could have just talked about it.

As for the claim that she was boring, we see glimpses of her personality that go beyond tennis player. She’s a bit headstrong as she would often charge into danger, examples being Pet Project, Greetings from Techadon, and Inspector 13. She can be a bit stubborn about what she believes in and really wants to help people when joining the Flame Keeper’s Circle, something she shares with Ben who also has a hard time changing his mind and really enjoys helping people. It’s a shame we only saw her dad once. Something UAF didn’t do nearly enough was flesh out the characters families more. Let Julie interact with Carl and Sandra and vice versa. Have them stage an intervention with Ben and their concerns about his fame. Ben meeting Julie’s parents could have been a motivation to be a better boyfriend. Flesh out her relationship with her dad. Dwayne McDuffie was a big supporter of diversity in comics. It would have been a great opportunity to show a healthy Asian parent-child relationship as opposed to the Tiger parent stereotype.

Now onto Omniverse. For starters, like the AF trio, her design feels like a step in the wrong direction. Julie was always shown to be very mature and yet like Gwen, she dresses more like a 10 year old in OV. As @vreedleedleedle pointed out, her design looks much more like a racial stereotype than in UAF especially her eyes. Second, the end of Ultimate Alien made her important as a character where she was able to talk some sense into Ben when he was about to remake the universe in his image. You’d think from the ending that she’d be part of the team more often. Then OV doesn’t mention her until the end of season 2 where we learn they broke up. Even if you prefer them as just friends, they didn’t do nearly enough with her character and she doesn’t make another appearance till the harem episode where she’s used for jokes. Julie deserved better than how the writers or fans treated her and she’s not a bad girlfriend. She respected that Ben had a job to do and only got angry when he didn’t care about her interests. Again, them having flaws doesn’t make them bad people, they’re emotionally immature teens who’ve been through a lot of traumatic events. They’re going to make mistakes.

Ben is bottom dominant when it comes to rex, kevin and rook, but when we talk about julie he is submissive top, I still don't know of other partners he had or with whom he is related, but I have no doubt 🧐

Ben: Tonight is gonna be so magical, it’s like we’ll all be kissing Julie tonight

Kevin: I call dibs on going first. No way I’m taking sloppy seconds

Sandra: I’ll go last, I don’t mind

Carl: I’m not kissing Julie

Gwen: Come on Uncle Carl, be supportive of your son

Sandra: Yes Carl, be supportive

That scene in “Rules of Engagement” where Ben tries to talk to Julie again while she’s trying to leave with her new replacement boyfriend lives in my head because like despite it being a lost cause, he still tries to say he “promises to always put her first” and that “he can change.” Like, honey no, there are some things you can’t change. You don’t need to be in a relationship that constantly demands that you change. And if that doesn’t work for her, that doesn’t make you bad.

#oh she found someone who can be what she wants??? #all that means is that they weren’t compatible long term #and that still doesn’t make him the bad guy :) #framing him as the bad guy in this situation is insane idc that they do in canon #that’s even fucking worse #benlie #Ben 10 #ben 10 love interests #ben tennyson #analysis files #rules of engagement

*cries* ...what if i just wanted benlie to be cute and everything but ultimate alien had to assasinate ben's character :,)

#benlie #yes i know benlie is considered the boring ship BUT I LOVE THEM AND I LOVE JULIE #ben 10 #ben tennyson #julie yamomoto #random ass rant yes but ive been watching ben 10 as of recent

Flame princess and cinnamon bun from adventure time is what julie and herve could and SHOULD'EV been

A random idea that came inside of my mind and i would like to share it with y'all

Like ... we're all know that flame princess was finn's girlfriend and later they broke up (thx to both of finn AND jake's dumbass) but did they didn't threw her away like a used tissue the same way they did to julie...no

Well at least did they brought (both ben and julie , finn and the flame princess)them back together.. absolutely not

But the creators took their time to develop flame princess's character and turn her from a character that was just made to be finn's girlfriend into her own person , her own character, where she is a great leader , a rapper , and also have cinnamon bun as her own father figure, and she is more mature and compassionate then she was in her first appearance (shoutout to her past relationship with finn and her father figure cinnamon bun) how she and finn still in good terms after their breakup. Finn realized where did he messed up and apologized to flame princess, they didn't came back to their old relationship(i think becausethey realize they weren't really perfect for each other watch the sarcastic chorus video about the ship to get what i mean). But they are still a good friends who now trust and respect each other

I wish they did the same thing to julie

Giving her a character development where she and ben becoming emotionally mature together

Where she realize how dangerous the alien stuff is and how ship is not (really) a pet

Show case how she and ben are still in good terms and how they grew up and developed after their breakup just like finn and flame princess did

Showcasing her working on developing herself and her life (and still show case her in some episodes here and there where she sometimes participate with ben and rook using ship...oh and actually thinking about ship as a creature and not a pet ....... in another words treating him like her own son)

Showcasing who is herve before meeting with julie and why should we care about him and showing julie and herve's chemistry, and how they are growing up more thx to the other , and showcasing how herve was making julie happy and how she was making him happy

Last but not least showcasing how ben and julie learned from their past relationship with each other and making sure not repeating the same mistake they did in the past (with kai and herve of course)

In conclusion:

Both of julie and flame princess are characters that first appeared to be the love intrest of our main heros and the both of them broke up with them later

But flame princess later became independent as a character and got for herself her own personality instead of being thrown away like a used tissue, after her breakup with finn

If only the ben 10 writers made julie get the same things flame princess got

Are there any Benlie shippers still out there?

I’ve noticed that Benlie isn’t very popular these days but even when it was, there weren’t many fanfics or much fanart of it. May be because Gwevin was more popular but it sucks that there’s little content of the main ship. I know people prefer Bevin, Brooken or Ben/Ester but Julie and her relationship with Ben was cute. There’s more Bwen fanfics than Benlie which sucks especially when they bash Julie. People who hate the ship tend to flanderize either Ben or Julie’s flaws instead of blaming the writers for not doing it justice. I know some see it as boring but they were a cute couple and Julie was the one who was by Ben’s side during Big Chill’s pregnancy, the Highbreed invasion, Ultimate Kevin and the one who helped him resist Vilgax’s temptation.
