I made a thing a week or 2 ago. Finally got Tumblr to let me make a post again. It’s just an edit, but I’m pretty proud of it since I used MS Paint to do so. Also, @therealjacksepticeye said to be more happy with our art…
I present: Jaune McLoughlin.

Ok I haven’t seen this misconception a lot, but just enough to make me wanna do a post on it. I’m specifically referring to the “Ben threw Kevin in the Null Void” take.
(I probably shouldn’t be trying to enter discourse this early in my career but honestly I doubt it’s that controversial so I’ll be fine.)
Ben very much in fact did not throw Kevin into the Null Void (at least when they were kids; clearly something along those lines happened with them when they were adults in the og future timeline.) Max is the one who put Vilgax and Kevin into the Null Void, not Ben.
To make it clear that I’m not just expecting ppl to go along with some made up headcanon, here’s some screenshots from the og episode that show what I mean.
We see him take out the Null Void projector to get rid of Vilgax and Kevin. Only Max and Gwen are even in this scene since Ben’s in the middle of a fight
Now we get Max actually firing the projector, thus sending Vilgax and Kevin into the Void. Ben isn’t here yet, but gets dragged in by Vilgax almost immediately after:
And then Gwen has to go in to rescue him. They get cornered, Ben has to give up the Omnitrix to save her, Gwen secretly holds onto it, etc. Then we get one last confrontation with Kevin before the portal closes.
Kevin’s blocking the portal so that Ben and Gwen will have to go through him to escape. If I’m remembering correctly, Kevin has XLR8’s superspeed. He’s also closer to the portal than Ben and Gwen. If he wanted to go through in this moment, they probably wouldn’t be able to stop him (he’d still have to deal with Max, but I’m not trying to argue about Max, I’m trying to argue about Ben). Kevin pretty clearly prioritizes getting revenge on Ben over getting out.
The closest thing to Ben trapping Kevin in the Null Void is him managing to maneuver past Kevin and get to the portal first before it closes, resulting in Kevin getting stranded in the Void.
I wouldn’t call this Ben trapping Kevin in the void though since. 1. He’s not the one who put Kevin there in the first place (that was Max). 2. Kevin had an opportunity to escape and chose trying to kill Ben over his own freedom (I’m not saying “grrrr Kevin evil,” just that Ben cannot be responsible for actions that are not his. And 3. Ben’s own priorities were clearly escaping (and not getting murdered by Kevin) rather than specifically to keep Kevin in the Null Void (cause yeah, it’s highly possible that the superpowered Kevin would be able to kill the currently powerless Ben if he had stayed.)
(Kevin does have mental issues, I understand that, but I don’t think the 10 year-old Ben would be able to help the 11 year-old Kevin healthily resolve his issues in the short period of time that the portal was open for. He’s not a licensed therapist, and even if he was, that kind of mental healing is a lengthy process.)
So, after having established that Ben did not in fact trap Kevin in the Null Void, why is this even an argument? It directly contradicts what actually happens on-screen. Well, I may be heading into speculation territory, but there is an instance of a canon character outright saying that this is what Ben did. And who might this be?
Oh right, that guy. The evil scumbag who wasn’t even there for the event in question (and has an obvious motive for trying to frame everything as Ben’s fault: he wants Kevin to get rid of Ben). I’ve gotta say, if Servantis is the reason why this misconception exists, that really goes to show how good he is at (memory) manipulation. He’s even capable of getting real-life fans to misremember events according to his biases.
Alright, that’s the end of this little diatribe of mine. If anyone has any comments (or even requests for future analyses) please let me know in the comments (or shoot an ask or send a reblog if that’s what you prefer).
i love prep gwen as much as the next guy but have we never considered 'girl who is clearly some flavor of goth but her parents dont let her dress goth so she makes do'
I like how they keep the alien in line with Kevin's color pallette of greys.
Kevin probably : OMG IT'S LUCKY GIRL!!!
But seriously, I like to imagine kevin hesitated here, like he could've crushed gwen in an instant, but he didnt.
Even here, theres no way he missed unless he really wanted to .theres so many people here , how do you not hit anybody.
Bahahahhaha did ... did Kevin just growl?? Hahaha why was this so funny.
" look at me ,im a scary monster, be scared *growls*"
Also just realized this was gwen and kevins first proper interaction. Like they never spoke to each other before this moment.
And its just gwen yelling at him lol.
Kevin : Me? I'm a hottie, cant you tell?
My delulu gwevin heart : Awww , he's flirting with her, with his roguish charm. Cute
Did kevins voice actor change though? He sounds different.
Who are these guys anyway? If theyre some alien division of the government shouldn't max know them?
Kevin: nobody's innocent, they just haven't had the chance to make fun of me yet.
Poor baby.
Look i know ben gave him a lot of chances to get good, but kevin was way too far gone. He was too traumatised and hurt to see beyond his rage.
Was lieutenant steel really gonna let four arms pound a child?
Intentional or not, a lot of people let kevin down over and over again. I know people like to dissect kevin being evil and non understanding , but at the end of the day, he was just a child.
An abandoned unloved child.
Btw I do want to point out, I have seen people mention how unreasonable and annoying gwen was this episode in accusing ben throughout the years.
But it must've been so annoying that , up till this point atleast, everything seemed to revolve around ben and his heroics. She even mentions how ben doesnt do the dishes and stuff back in the rv.
Ben's doing a good job being the hero, but at certain it does get tiring, especially if this wasnt what she signed up for, plus she cant do much in these fights anyway.

Spider Ben AU! I like the idea of Ben actually keeping the spider around, a bit like Penny. I also couldn’t resist adding in the Alien features too (admittedly to a lesser extent but still there) cause otherwise he’d just be regular ol spiderman and at that point I might as well just make regular Spider-Man fanart. Anywho…
I’m nervous about my course starting so I decided to be a little self indulgent and started generating Ben 10 AUs like crazy. This is one of the less coo-coo ones. I might post some others later ✌️ (if you can’t read my handwriting I’m sorry 😩)

Tbh this is how imagine Kevin's presence was like when he came to Bellwood in AF.
Kevin was popular. There is no way a mysterious hot bad boy shows up with a car and girls werent chasing him down for a date. There's also no way guys weren't trying to befreind him to gain "coolness by association"
Cash or JT even say something like " that's kevin levin's car" before pushing it down the cliff. Like dude had a reputation! And a cool one too.
But poor boy was so traumatised from being bullied as a kid and then looking like a monster, he just couldn't see that people actually liked him.
That's why his immediate reaction to gwen not wanting to go the dance was" you're embarrassed to go with me!"
Like no , dude , you're awesome , and smart and funny. Too bad he couldn't see himself.
If kevin wasnt insecure and constantly in his head that people hated him, he wouldve ruled bellwood lol. Atleast till ben came out as the hero.
I wouldnt be surprised if gwen was proud of dating the cool guy kevin ethan levin and name dropped him whenever she could, and ben even getting favours done at school with promises that kevin would show up to thier parties or upgrade their cars for them.
Okay so at one point in the story the cousins find Frightwig late at night, she's not here to cause problems on purpose but to look for her brothers, who were taken by some weird guys that head towards Bellwood. Gwen is fine with her staying in her house for the night so they can look for her brothers, and something something happens and he also gets taken. Now the cousins need to figure out who are these guys and fast!
