#mbav rant

I’m back hyperfixating on mbav again instead of doing my projects and preparing for my presentations in class and the school expo or writing my capstone paper or doing my 400 level stats project or my English essay and presentation or the group project or the stats lab that needs to get done this week so here we go:
Why couldn’t we have delved more into the difference between witches and earth priestesses? What is the difference in classifications? Is it like some kind of Druid or pagan thing? Is it tied to any specific belief system? How broad is the range of magic in the show?
Was Benny supposed to be potentially a priest as well or is he just a wizard? What’s the difference between a wizard and a witch and a priestess because the range of magic is wild
Did grandma weir know about the Druid tree cutting down being an earth priestess? Being about nature and plants I’m assuming was there something she could have done about it?
Did she purposefully leave it alone so the vamp squad can learn by doing but not giving them help? Or was it something she couldn’t sense? If it’s the first one it’s pretty messed up for her to expect these inexperienced highschoolers to know what they’re doing after only like one major fight and also no information or what kind of stuff to do.
She’s more experienced than they are in the supernatural world but doesn’t seem to be guiding them much and letting them handle it on their own. They don’t know the rules and laws and etiquette in the supernatural world and are stumbling like fawns solving their problems with violence. With the tree, if they had known about it earlier and knew all the stuff would they have been able to reason with it? Perhaps take cuttings and replant it elsewhere somewhere with no humans so it’s happy and people don’t die?
If it wasn’t airing on Disney we all agree that plant girl would be dead right? That shit was all up in her skull and she was wide open eyed and not breathing. How far did it get into the school, how many other students potentially would have died in the series if it wasn’t on Disney and stuff wasn’t cut out?
Also why didn’t we get more into what stern was doing? He should have been more involved background wise.
Example: what if he found rory’s flushed gators powered up by Benny’s potions and trained them and used them to attack students? I think that would have been more interesting. They wouldn’t know who was doing it but it would have added to the build up of a finale I think

More Pixels???
Made a little cutscene thing. The temptation to make this an actual game...
Maybe when I get some time.

"Moonie, why are you writing Vergil as a somewhat decent guy???"
because i read a comment from someone where they said that he likely began to realize - while in hell with dante - that his blind pursuit in power made him miss out so much time with his own son. he traveled to fortuna, met nero's unnamed mother, and abandoned her without a second thought because he assumed he wasn't going to get some worshipper of the order pregonant, and in turn lost his chance with his son.
i like the idea of vergil wanting to right his wrongs. especially through his experience as v with nero, learning that nero was stronger than he assumed (and even stronger than dante and vergil but no one's ready for that conversation) and had so much potential in him. i don't want vergil to be the default bad guy of my story because he's a perfect depiction of trauma, just like dante is. vergil should be allowed to grow and learn from his past mistakes, and having power and talent isn't an inherently bad thing either. i don't want vergil to be a hero, i just want him to be a good dad. and pay his fucking child support.

MBAV rant
we were robbed. we never got to see alternate universe shenanigans in MBAV. we never got to see elemental powers in MBAV. we never got to see Jane turn into the witch she was always meant to be. with a third season we could have had all of that smh. the series finale SHOULD have been """make the most famous villains of series past, put them against our protagonists, AND MAKE THEM JOIN FORCES WITH JESSE AND ALL THE EVIL VAMPIRES"" like anything. i want to see serena, debby dazzle, the cheerleaders, valmudrap, and the mayan queen as their leader to kick frickn butt.

If you’re the “twilight vampires aren’t real vampires bc blah blah blah blah” type person, you’re a misogynistic clown who needs to understand ANYTHING is a vampire if you call it a vampire and while I would not like to give Stephanie Myers any credit she quite literally revolutionized the way we look at monsters (specifically vampires) in the modern world

Heyy!!Um if you don’t mind can you write for mbav?(benny weir x fem reader) Something along the lines of evil benny creating reader’s evil copy and she starts flirting hard with the real Benny and when Sarah and the real reader destroys the evil copies Benny gets sad and misses the evil copy :>
Two is better than one.
Benny weir x fem!reader
“What were you thinking?”
Tumblr media
Warnings: cursing, seductive behaviour, degradation.
— Summary; what anon said 🫶🏻
— A/N; I LIKE IT PICASSO this came to me when cleaning and I literally stopped everything to write it. I got so many evil copy requests I’m down them ALL.
Tumblr media
Benny and you didn’t particularly have a clear relationship at times.
There were certain things he said or done that always had you second guessing,
maybe it was the way he looked into your eyes a second longer than usual when he smiled that signature grin of his or maybe it was the way he teased you until he was sure he made the tips of your ears red but one thing was clear,
It was the things he would do a second later that would make you uncertain It was obvious Benny weir flirts with any girl that walks his way and honestly you were thankfully that the girl were daft enough to pay more attention at the fuck boys than Benny otherwise you were sure he’d be snatch up by now.
“Ethan you’re delusional if you think Benny weir has any sort of romantical feelings for me at all.” You explained your frustrating case of what always clouded your mind.
“Why are you so sure of yourself? Why is it so hard to accept what I’m saying is true y/nn? You’re telling me you don’t see the way he looks at you?” Ethan protested but not as strongly as he had before, poor Ethan has this whole conversation rehearsed with not only you unfortunately.
Benny had to force a giggle out of himself to cover for the untrue words Ethan had mistakenly spoken “dude, no need to lie to me. I like the girl and all but I think by now I can tell when a girl doesn’t like me as hard as that is to believe.” Benny replied sarcastically to a eye rolling Ethan, his favourite expression in both Y/N and Benny’s opinion.
Christ you guys even argue the same.
“Let me entertain the possibility that you are right for a minute,” Ethan merely nodded mind elsewhere. “If I get as far as asking him out and not get rejected by whatever godsend was on my side that day that Benny didn’t run away scared of my ‘proposal’ “ you qoutated for your special day of the weeks rant affect “who’s to say he still wouldn’t make comments about every other woman he saw that day? We just wouldn’t work as much as I wanted to.”
“Denial is a river in Egypt.” Ethan chimed matter of factly with a cheeky smile he knew pissed you off “your just trying to convince yourself because you know none of that mumbo jumbo isn’t going anywhere with me.”
“E, you wanna know how I can see that she doesn’t like me?” Benny tugged on his backpack straps with a thin pressed lip “not really.” Ethan muttered unbothered “great, well for one I flirted with a girl right in front of her today to get any reaction out of her anything! And she didn’t care! That’s like movie 101 the chick totally storms off in jealousy yet she didn’t budge.” He finished
How was it that Ethan was the only expert in spotting the hurt in the teens faces ? Or the broken laugh he oh so quoted All you guys needed was to stop being so stubborn and a little confidence couldn’t hurt.
-
It was after school and you were walking home with your headphones on, playing whatever song your iPod had to offer on shuffle then you spotted something, oh cool benny grandma Evelynn is having a yard sale.
“Hey Benny what’s up?” You waved as you saw his grandmother leave the stall seemingly leaving Benny to sell the remaining products,
“grandma is selling all the junk in her house she no longer uses and she said if I help I get extra cash so currently being an entrepreneur.” He grinned leaning on the table with his collared striped sweater sleeves pulled up revealing his forearms, that mixed with his smile had you saying ‘shut up and take my money!’
“I don’t think that’s how that works but sure I’m always up to support a business.” You furrowed your brows but nonetheless went along with his playful manner “I’ll take that vintage camera.” Maybe it’ll help with you and your friends picture day project.
“Fine choice m’lady.” You giggled in response and took the camera “I’ll see you later benns’ “ and with that you left.
-
It was the next day at school and if you had known Benny and Ethan had their own school picture day idea maybe you wouldn’t have volunteered to help your friend.
But having said that it didn’t stop you from sticking your tongue out at Benny like a child cheekily as he slumped in defeat
“defeated with my own tools.” He muttered as you laughed sympathetically in response patting his shoulder “sorry Benny rabbit, maybe next year?” You teased further more making sure to use the name you knew he hated cause you just loved to be the person to grind his gears.
Unfortunately you missed what he whispered to Ethan “It’s cute when she says it..” ethan looked puzzled at the boy.
You agreed after class to futhermore help your friend by testing out your retro cam, having successfully found a dark room you firstly tested it with a simple selfie really 2010 pose of you, Y/n.
And then you set it aside to develop, continuing with your classes.
Later on you went to check on it and would you look at that! Perfect 80s selfie, you just Missed the laboured breaths behind you as you were knocked unconscious.
-
Benny tapped his pencil on his desk as he watched the clock on the wall, you should definitely be at this class he remembered on your timetable you had the same classes as him! So then where were you? 10 minutes went by and mid way through class Y/N finally showed up,And boy did she make an entrance.
Are you allowed to wear shorts that short? Or leather jackets that cool?
You slumped in your chair looking directly at the teacher, eye contact and all. “Care to explain what was more interesting than class that made you 20 minutes late Miss Y/N L/N?” The teacher rightfully asked through a stern voice.
“literally anything..?” Y/N replied as if it was a joke and not they were real consequences.
The Teacher was taken aback “Y/N this is nothing like you whatever has gotten into you I’m not dealing with this today.” She explained furthermore to a doodling Y/H/C.
“I didn’t want to deal with this math today and yet here we are.” Y/N shrugged “who in the right mind puts fucking letters in marginal equations?” The teacher scoffed “detention IMMEDIATELY.”
And with that Y/N stood up, smirking at Benny who’s mouth was agape “like what you see? Or is staring your new habit Dork?” She leaned on his desk table inching closer to him as she maintain intense eye contact “what did I just say?” The teacher raised her voice and with that Y/N practically strutted out.
Benny leaned into Ethan “I don’t know what Y/N has done with herself but I like it.” He spoke unbeknownst to Ethan’s bewildered expression, this has supernatural written all over it and yet again he was the only one to spot it.
Obviously Y/N wasn’t gonna listen to the teacher though, she had a better plan in mind. Why not finish what she started? So she dragged her friend to the room where she left the camera and made a copy of her, putting on her best sickly sweet voice imitating the other sweeter more rational Y/N she managed to fool her friend into becoming a copy just like her and whilst Y/N was having fun Terrorising other teens days her friend would make more evil duplicates.
Fun and innovative, woman in stem yk?
Mindlessly she walked through the halls she had about a few hours before school was over and then she could go to go carts she rented for the day.
That’s when she spotted him. Benny weir. she just needed to figure out why the other Y/N was so intrigued by him so she made her way over to him “well if it isn’t just the guy I was looking for, can I talk to you? “ benny looked around puzzled and then nodded, Y/N turned to look at Ethan “alone. take a hint third wheel.” She did a fake smile for a millisecond benny raised a brow
Third wheel? In what?
“What is it that makes you so important?” She began in a low tone as she eyed him head to toe slowly “my charm, i get A’s in calculus I do a killer Tom cruise from top gun impression” no one in the world could not cringe at the words Benny utters.
Well unless you got a tolerance like the other Y/N does, which was what evil Y/N was so aggravated to figure out.
“Not the things you say Idiot, the things you do.” She took a step closer to him “ I’m not sure I’m following now y/nn? This about my yearbook photo idea?” He guessed utterly lost, poor guy.
“This is about how every thing you say or do drives other me crazy, you’ve such nerdy arms and yet she fawns over your slender hands.” Evil Y/N sure knew how to cut and praise you in the same sentence that was for sure.
Benny didn’t respond he just looked down to said hands in question and then back at Y/N he was finding it hard to maintain eye contact under this pressure “I bet you haven’t even been with a girl, how pathetic.” She chuckled yet her eyes showed interest and she inches nearer again.
Benny gulped “Y/n what are you talking about…?” Benny managed to speak as he trailed off as if he spoke any louder than he did he was afraid you would stop.
“Maybe if I teach you a few things you might actually have the balls to get with me.” Why she was speaking about herself in the third person was beyond Benny but what wasn’t beyond him is whatever degrading kink evil you just summoned in him.
He grinned “if this is you getting back at me for teasing you so much I admit im not sorry.” You pressed your hands flat against his chest “that’s exactly what it is.” sexual frustration totally didn’t play a part at all.
So you tangled your hands in his brunette locks and peckered his neck then his lips
‘Whatthefuckishappeningohmygodsheskissingmethisissohot’
And then she stopped with a tug of his hair releasing a low whine from Benny as he opened his Green eyes “If you actually want to take me up on my offer find me in the dark room, I’m only having fun. Think you can do that pretty boy? Hm?” Benny nodded cheerfully She smirked and spon around on her heels and walked away.
Did Y/N just walk straight out of his wet dream or something?! Like I know yesterday Y/N was pretty Damn sexy in her flarely skirt that Benny was so sure she put on intentional to screw with his head but this was definitely a dream he had only a week ago.
-
Somwhere along the line you woke up, not evil you but actual you and you spotted your friend tied up,
“what happened?! Are you alright?” You asked frantically concerned as you untied her “there’s a evil copy of me and you going around terriorising people! I don’t know what’s going on but I think she knocked you out too!” That would explain the raging headache that got worse by the minute.
‘I have to go tell Sarah and Erica’ you thought.
-
Frantic to find Sarah you scanned the halls as you tucked a strand of Y/H/C behind your ears and was certainly not looking where you were going and it became more certain when you bumped into a unknown force.
Benny flushed being met with you, except you lost the shorts and the leather jacket, but hey you did sport his favourite skirt on you “I knew it was intentional!” He muttered under his breath thinking aloud
“benns’ are you okay? You look a little red and your shirt is all scrunched up..” you expressed with much concern for the boy “I’m fine, y/n. And if I’m not I’m still taking you up on your offer later and you can make me fine.” He grabbed your hand to politely shoo it away from his striped shirt as he winked
“offer? What offer? Benny I need your help finding Sarah.” Benny tilted his head in confusion That word be the third time today you drive him around the bend in mind whipping mood Change,
you are a force of nature woman.
He was gonna flirt but he saw your expression and put his feelings aside for a moment “what’s wrong bunny?” His brows furrowed “there’s these evil copies of me and (I forgot her name I’m so sorry) walking around and they’re planning on making way more! We need to stop them or who knows what they’ll do.” You pleaded with urgency.
“That chick Ethan’s into? Wait you have a copy?” You nodded, deciding against telling Benny that she had a boyfriend right now as it wasn’t the top priority going on right now.
Benny slumped, of course it wasn’t you.
“Benny? Hello? Come on!” You grabbed his hand and went to find Sarah and Ethan, unknowing to how extra sweaty his hands were today as you interlaced your fingers together.
-
“What in the Jennifer’s body is this bullshit? You’re meant to be evil Me?” You scoffed eyeing her “it’s not like I give a fuck what you think honestly cause you’ll be dead in a minute.”
“Honey you’re just another bad selfie gone wrong.”
A few minutes of bickering and fighting go by and you finally manage to tear the developed photo apart.
Sarah stormed into the bathroom after dealing with the other copy “are you okay?!” You nodded offering a Sympathetic smile “totally should’ve took that jacket before she vanished.” Sarah rolled her eyes reminding you of how she does it just like Ethan does and you both smiled.
“Let’s get you up.” She helped you from your position on the floor as you regained your breath and stood up.
-
Now with school done you rejoined your favourite best friends as Rory, Sarah, Erica and Ethan walked ahead. Benny still looked distant and you couldn’t help but notice it.
“Hey Benny you’ve been quiet all day, are you alright? I hope evil me didn’t say anything mean to you, If she hurt you that wasn’t me I’d never do any like that.”
Benny for the first time after today looked you in the eyes again with a hitched breath I don’t think he’ll ever forget your hands on him, or your pillowy soft lips for that matter.
“She didn’t it’s just she said some things…” you looked at him as he looked down “what did she say?” Her words played in his mind but he couldn’t bring himself to repeat them so he shook it off “nevermind it doesn’t matter, it’s stupid I’m all good.” He forced a smile but you saw through it “hey.. you know evil Y/N rented go carts?” You tried cheer him up and knowing Benny it worked and automatically he was back to his old self “only room for 2!” And with that you two scurried to front in giggles
Maybe things could be different now?
Tumblr media
Ahhh I’m sorry that was so short but I hope you like it😭😭 I’m gonna proof read it later if I made any mistakes <33

will you post about Ethan/Benny aka Bethan cause that is my favorite mbav pairing
Okay this is a great excuse for me to talk about how I think Bethan would work, actually, so, beware, rant incoming.
I think these boys have feelings for one another, Benny more than Ethan at current in the show. I think that it's far more likely that it will take growing up and maturing for them to get anywhere close to getting together, let alone actually admitting feelings.
So, I like Bethan as much as the next guy, but in order for them to be together without objectively screwing the characters up at least a little, they have to grow up. Senior year, maybe later.
They're uncomfortable even hugging each other in the show, it was the early 2010s, they're absolutely getting called slurs until that guy in Flushed thinks that Sarah is Ethan's girlfriend.
For Bethan to work, they have to grow up past caring about other people's perceptions of them. And Ethan cares less about that than Benny already.
It's Benny who'd have to do most of the work. But Ethan needs to grow up some, too.
I think Ethan even thinks his feelings for Benny are strictly platonic, because they've known each other so long, been friends so long, so it feels different than his friendship with Rory. And Ethan is definitely into Sarah. But for Ethan, being into Sarah and having feelings for Benny feel different. This is mostly because of the context, girl he likes after meeting her a couple times, boy he's known practically his whole life, who knows him inside and out. Ethan is bi with a focus on girls, I think.
Benny, though, Benny is very aware that his feelings for Ethan are not platonic. He knows because every time he thinks about it, he gets scared that somehow someone will hear his thoughts and know how he feels. He's superficial with girls because he's incapable of truly liking them. Both because he's just. Not actually into girls, and because he's too busy being in love with his best friend, who's super into this chick they got stuck with. Oh, and, "Betty's" "crush" on Rory? That wasn't acting, either. He got a taste of being a girl who could like a guy and not get called a fag over it, and damn, did that show itself hard. Once Benny went back to being Benny, though, his "crush" on Rory basically disappeared, and he got stuck being a guy who's in love with his best friend, and knows what it feels like to be able to like a guy and even almost be with that guy. In Jockenstein, Benny immediately takes the chance to be Tough Jock Guy and kicks two guys out of chairs at a table just because he can. He's insecure. He's overcompensating. He cares what people think. He has to get past it before he can do anything about his feelings for Ethan.
They both have to grow up before anything can happen. Benny won't let anything happen. He's the Bethan roadblock, more than Ethan not understanding that he's into Benny.
Those are my thoughts on Bethan. :)

CHAPTER ONE OUT NOW!! [link]
It’s sapphic silly hours so I wanted to post a little sneak peek of Chapter 1 (unfinished but alas… the ronance brain worms hath spoken) for my next multichapter fic!!
a Nancy POV rewrite of season 1 featuring ronance
Robin moves in next door to the Wheelers prior to the events of s1
Comphet Lesbian Nancy
fic title is based on the mbav theme song “Girl Next Door” by Copperpot
i think i’ll call her on the phone (or am i better off alone?)
Chapter 1 - fruit
August 15th, 1983
HAWKINS, INDIANA
Three knocks to Nancy’s open door had her turning her head to the voice she knew was waiting.
Holly and Mike usually just barge in, Mike would’ve yelled some excuse 50 miles a minute while Holly would’ve just toddled past the squeaky door. Her father, Ted, would’ve waited for her to skip down the steps for dinner and asked her to stay for a minute as he had something to say.
That left one person.
“Nancy, I told you we were leaving in five minutes,” her mother, Karen, stood firm by the door, back straight, hands on her hips as she looked over at her daughter disapprovingly. “Hang up on Barb, you can always call her back once we go see them.”
Nancy pursed her lips and nodded her head, the receiver of the phone shielded by a newly polished hand. “Yeah… yeah… just give me a second.”
Karen’s heels clacked as she walked downstairs, “Make sure to pick up the fruit basket on the table! I’ll be waiting by the door.”
She waited until the footsteps were farther enough away that huffed a breath, hoping Barb would hear on the other end. “God… she’s been-” she sighed again. “Anyways… um” Nancy looked out of her window, “you know the Taylors, right? Lived next door?”
“Yeah, yeah… my mom mentioned something about them… apparently the mom was like… uh never- nevermind.” Barb whispers, “Anyways… you were saying?”
Nancy’s brows furrow but elect to ignore that in favor of ranting to her best friend before having to put up false appearances. “New people moved in, my mom is obsessed with bringing all the neighbours a housewarming gift since it’s rare for anyone to move in around here, so-”
“Young lady, I am waiting!” Karen shouted from below.
“Look, I’ll call when I’m back, alright?”
“‘Course, Nance. Bye.”
“Bye.”
Click
Nancy bit back a smile, standing up from where she had been lounged across her bed. Facing herself in the mirror, she adjusted one of the clips holding back her long, wavy brown locks.
“Nancy!” Karen shouted.
She whipped her head to the door, rushing out as she slammed it behind her.
“No slamming doors,” she heard her father rumble from the lazy boy sat across the TV, casually flipping through a newspaper.
It was Saturday, about a week before school started, and Nancy would be faced with dealing with the new people across the yard.
Passing her mother she muttered, “And of course Mike doesn’t have to come.”
“I heard that.” Her mother spoke to Nancy’s retreating form, continuing once she saw her daughter with the gaudily packaged fruit basket. “Michael is at Will’s today. And as far as I’m concerned, you are at home.”
Nancy shuffled in her old white heels, the sides nipping at her ankles. “It’s not my fault-”
“Enough. I am not having this conversation before we go see the Buckley’s.”
Nancy bit her tongue, she was already under practical house arrest after she snuck out last week to go hang out with Barb past curfew.
In her defense, it was because Barb had sworn that she overheard Steve was going to be at Tiffany’s Birthday and had an open invite. They weren’t even planning on going in! Just scoping out the scene to see if the possibility of what Steve had told her at the end of last year was real. That he had started to notice her over freshman year, and that he wasn’t planning on seeing anyone anytime soon.
All they had to do was snoop around to see if he had a date, and Barb would shove it in Nancy’s face that he was just like the other dumb jocks that treated the high school hierarchy like it mattered.
But all it took was her mother opening her door and seeing the window open for her to jump down the Holland’s lines, both mothers desperately searching for the missing pair.
She’d been grounded until the school year and wasn’t keen on that getting a punishment far enough that they’d disconnect her personal line.
God, she couldn’t imagine not being able to talk to Barb about all the bullshit going on in her life. She always felt like all the family responsibility had been placed on her, meanwhile Mike got to coast along her coat tails. He was perpetually too young to be at fault for anything, so obviously the brunt of her parent’s wrath had to be placed on her.
She was the nice girl.
She would fall in line when needed.
And unlike her siblings, she was apparently old enough to understand the consequences of a bad reputation.
But she knew that it wasn’t just reputation that kept her in an elevated position of responsibility. She was the oldest daughter, of course everyone would be breathing down her neck to be the perfect little girl.
“-ncy?” Karen whispered, tapping the girl’s shoulder.
Nancy must’ve zoned out for the short walk across the driveway because she only now did she become aware of the splintered wooden door in front of her, the basket gone heavy in her hands.
She glanced back at Karen from the corner of her eyes, looking down as a taunt smile pulled against her cheeks. “Sorry- sorry… I was just… thinking. I’m fine”
Karen didn’t say anything, and Nancy didn’t want to look at her in fear of the same expression she’d worn since that night.
Disappointment.
Her mother knocked on the door, and Nancy waited with baited breath, as the lock clicked and the door opened.
Stood in a lose-fitting white t-shirt and pair of cut off jean shorts, was a girl. Her hand tightly gripped a can of Coke and her brows furrowed at the two stood on her doorstep.
This is going to be so awkward.
“Hi!” Karen chirped, the girl giving Nancy a once over before looking at her mom.
Nancy only felt slightly miffed at the fact that the look she’d given her mother was a lot less venomous than the one thrown her way.
Asshole.
[END OF PREVIEW]
Thank you so much for reading!! ❤️✨
Not sure for an exact date of posting considering current works are taking priority right now, but I was really excited to share this one!!

i want to know how many haters of the ship Bethan and the characters Ethan and Benny their are in the mbav fandom since they're my favorite i feel like the odd man out because it feels like other people on here don't give them much love and support at all with art fics gifs etc and when i do see something it's always slander and bashing/hating like OTHER MBAVERS STOP HATING AND PUTTING DOWN WHAT I LIKE anyway sorry rant over
Tumblr media Tumblr media
almost half of all mbav works on ao3 are bethan. bethan has over twice as many fics as the second most popular ship and more fics than the two runner-ups combined.
bethan is still the BIGGEST ship, even if it's not as popular in the tumblr fandom as it used to be. if there are people putting hate in the bethan tag i do agree that sucks, and i urge them to stop bc it's bad fandom etiquette.
i'm sure there's still a big (well... as big as you can get in a small fandom like mbav) bethan fanbase -- in fact i recently saw someone talking about wanting to post bethan fics in the main mbav tags. and finally of course you can always create bethan works and support creators who make bethan works! that's always nice :) i've been nominating bethan (and plenty of other mbav ships) for multi-fandom exchanges to try and push the agenda haha.
also my biggest advice is don't pay attention to the hate. why do you want to know how many people hate your ship? wouldn't it be more fun to just connect with people who love it as much as you? trust me, as someone who has tried dipping their toes in the ship war waters, it is so much more enjoyable to focus on the things you like rather than trying to fight against what you don't like.

idk if it's just me but my top two fandoms (bts, dnp) all have a distinct style of fixation that, when combined, manage to make life a lot less confusing to exist in. sorry mbav and heartstopper, i was obsessed with you for a few months because i so badly wanted to live in your universe but you haven't stuck with me for 5+ years like these two did :/
for example:
bts are the biggest celebrities on the planet who absolutely deserve all the recognition they've received and more. they work so hard and go through so much in order to create beautiful music that spreads deeply meaningful messages. they are relatable and human and went through their respective emo phases like i did, yet they have still achieved insurmountable success. knowing that i could make an impact just like them one day is equally inspiring as it is daunting. the fact that they reference things such as lgbtq+ history, feminism, and Palestinian support in subtle but indisputable actions with their massive platform comforts me in knowing that there is hope for the world.
dan and phil, on the other hand, make me feel free. being a trans-masc/enby person stuck in a conservative family is terrifying sometimes, but watching dnp never fails to wash my fears away. it's like im sucked into their world whenever i watch a video, one where everything is ok and i only have to focus on two soulmates playing a game or going about their day. their refreshingly explicit advocacy for queer people and mental health make them the only people who have ever made me feel like I truly belong.
ok rant over I just wanted to get my thoughts out there because none of my irls would care and I know this is the sentiment some other ppl share so. you're not alone if that's the case!

calling benny "b man" is the same as calling rory "r money"
so silly to be so defensive/offended over a nickname like most people call him b man anyway lmao
i agree! the characters call him "B" all the time in the movie and show its so ridiculous!
i fear that i may have started the b man nickname phenomenon last year. of course i cant be sure, but after the allegations in november came out i was quite uncomfortable with actually saying the name benny because i was just so icked out by the whole thing, so i started joking and saying b man as a way to make myself feel better. i noticed people starting to use b man as well a lot after that moment, for the same reasons i can assume. that anon who had been harassing me for months by that point was just so offended that i wasn't lavishing in their favorite character and got defensive. i will continue to call him b man, fartticus mitchy butthole all i want and that anon messanger who i finally blocked cant say a thing about it.

more MBAV rant, character development
i wish benny had competition, magical competition. he had a lot of potential but never took his powers seriously imo. i wish there was a character that would have made him realize how much stronger he COULD have been, have someone to struggle against so we as viewers could see that. that would have been fkcin cool. i also wish they explored rory's internal feelings as the 'third' friend because real talk ethan and benny ignored him and didnt treat him nice most of the time, now erica- how would she identify after the "badass vampire chick" feel wore off? would she reinvent herself into a different vision? would sarah ever come to terms with her vampirism? would she look back and come to appreciate it? would she still wish she could have lived as a human?

Was sitting in my room last night...thinking of MBAV, of course. And suddenly something hit me! Well, more like two things, but the second one will have to be in a separate post since it’ll be super long.
Anyway, in ‘Siren Song’ they never give any background to Serena or why she’s even there at Whitechapel High, anyway. Like, yeah, I know she’s there to make others “feel her pain” and all. But like... what exactly IS this so-called pain of hers that she wants everyone to feel, as well? Did something really tragic and bad happen to her? And if so, did it happen at the school or something?
And if not, then why did she even come to Whitechapel High for anyway, out of all the other possible high schools she could’ve went to? It’s as if she just randomly decided to show up one day to wreak havoc at the school before she’s satisfied and then just moves on to the next school/town.
And did she even have any parents to begin with? Surely, she did or else how would she have gotten enrolled to go to school there? And after her defeat by the gang (or rather, them killing her), wouldn’t her parents begin to wonder where their daughter is at after not seeing for so long? Or the school for that matter! Lol! And if she didn’t have any parents, then surely a legal guardian or something? I mean, I’m sure teenagers can’t enroll themselves into high school without a parent or legal guardian. Unless they’re legally emancipated to be able to make their own kind of important decisions like that without legally needing someone who’s 18 years old or older, that is.
Also, (and could be wrong here) I thought the singing of sirens made people drawn to them by putting them in a trans-like state of mind, leading their victims to their own demise. Typically, either by crashing their boats on rocks and watching them all drown to death or die from their injuries after hitting the rocks pretty badly, or maybe even just drowning them themselves. NOT make them just want to fight each other! I mean, I get that Whitechapel is a town that’s not by any kind of massive body of water (like a huge lake or the sea), so that meant their song couldn’t draw in their victims and cause them to crash their boats on some rocks. But still though! It’s like they just wanted to have the gang to face off against a siren, but had no real idea as to what her backstory would be, though. They just lazily threw her in and called it good. I don’t get it! Like, does making them want to beat each other to a pulp just make her feel good emotionally or does she like... feed off their anger and rage (or just the chaos even), is all?
Anyway, that was my little rant (or whatever) about the episode “Siren Song”. At least, about the villain in it, that is. Lol! 😜
