Five pls
Him cracking a dumbass comment forgetting everyone can hear him. Or singing out loud. Him forgetting to eat and when he remembers he wants to try everything again. Ben forgetting he can hang out with the others rather than just klaus. Ben forgetting the people who interact with him aren’t actually dead. I just want a lot of Ben content tbh
If (when) Ben is brought back to life I better see him forgetting he is alive and walking face first into a wall thinking he can phase through and just making comments over people talking because oh shit they can hear too and now its considered rude
same weird family, same weird boy

Dancing bears, painted wings; Things I almost remember; And a song someone sings; Once upon a December
Because I’ve seen one or two?? already and wanted to add my own. (This is very basic and superficial AU, but that’s what I have lol)
Basically:
· Luther- Ben- big, awkward Luther who’s scared to leave the house because leaving the house means stress of accidentally releasing the Horror. And stressed Luther means, hello, tentacles. It’s a cursed cycle so he stays in the house most of the time and does a lot of meditation and control exercises
· Diego- Klaus- ‘my-middle-name-is-Angry’ Diego would take no shit from no ghosts. He’d slap on a pair of earbuds and blast…idk, something super loud (Slipknot??) to drown out the noise
· Allison- Diego- badass, knife-wielding, action star Allison??? Do I need to say more?
· Klaus- Five- our boy still travels his ass to Vietnam and meets Dave but before he dies, he zaps them back to present, safe and sound, and happy as they deserve to be
· Five- Vanya- uhh, this AU has him sorta-kinda-totally dead (that’s why he still looks 13) but imagine this little murder machine, who is technically 30 years old, following Diego around and making remarks on his poor life decisions the whole time (and helping him solve cases ofc)
· Ben- Allison- he doesn’t really use his power much. He has learned to think carefully before using it so when he does everybody knows shit hit the fan
· Vanya- Luther- just. tiny Vanya being able to bench press literally everyone and everything and random people being like “???How????”
Bonus (aka a measly bit of plot I came up with for this):
Five and Reginald get into an argument during which Five lashes out (much like Vanya did in the series). Reginald decided to medicate him but fucks up and ends up killing him. Now pissed AND dead, Five tells Diego what happened and he tells the rest of their siblings and their mom. Long story short, they kill Reginald and live happily ever after.
yay sisters! (+one brother)
do u have any hc for ben hargreeves?? i love him so much and theres literally not enough content for him :(
Sure! I have a couple, though not many considering that he’s rarely featured…
Ben has… many mental issues.
BPD I would say, because he seemingly really enjoys being spontaneous but at the same time can NOT handle other people’s shit
Also most likely had undiagnosed anxiety as a kid because he would say stuff like “my stomach hurts :(” (aka how children can communicate their anxiety because they literally don’t know the word) and everyone would go “sHiT rUN” bc eldritch monster.
He was wearing a hoodie when he died, which would have been an act of rebellion at the young age that he was, right?
….Reginald would never allow him to wear that on a mission
THEREFORE
I head canon that Ben did not die on a mission, but while running away.
Which would be why Klaus blames himself (”I didn’t sign up to save him or you!”) since he probably ran away multiple times before ben did and knew the risks
Reginald sat Ben and Five on either side of Vanya because he believed they were the strongest of the rest of them and could kill control her if she had an outburst
He never learned to drive but man he really really wanted to
Died and realized that physical laws didn’t apply to him anymore so he went absolutely buck wild for a little bit there
I’m talking full on standing between walls like a glitched out video game character for no reason other than its so fuckin funny
And driving Klaus INSANE with the I’m not touching you game
Also him and Klaus were really close as kids because Ben was the only one who believed his off the wall bullshit
Like when Klaus freaks out thinking that they’re all robots like Grace because they get cords attached to their heads at night - he’s sEEN IT GUYS - but they all think it’s just another one of his nightmares
But no, Ben’s like “hmm that might be legit”
And yet they can’t prove it because Reginald catches on to them and monitors them in different ways
He’s smart but not like…. in a competitive way, you feel me? Luther and Diego learned a lot through trying to one up each other (like Diego criticizing Luther’s knowledge of spacial phenomenons and Diego taunting Luther with his knowledge of specific wrestling terms)
And not in an identity crisis way, like Five, who needed to prove to HIMSELF that he was capable of great feats
Nope, Ben just wanted to learn stuff for shits and giggles
And lemme tell you just how much that pissed Reginald off :)
