Muahaha.  And you all think YOU have too much time on your hands?  I am the Ultimate Geek today.  How so?  The following was created with absolutely NO Wikipedia.  Until Freakshow's name blanked on me.  XD

OK!  So, I was going to take a leaf from saiika_von_maou ’s book and give you all some crazy cool, philosophical, character-interpretational essay type thing on ( Read more... )

Oh god you have no idea how well this all clicks together!
I always thought of Jazz as a a more canon Gwen. Bitchy, mean but means well to her "brother."

Hey, if I didn't know how well this clicked, would I have written it?

...

Wait. Don't answer that.

And Jazz totes is a much better Gwen than Gwen is. XD

OH GOD I KNOW. The epic trio is everywhere:
-Invader Zim (because GIR is gender-neutral)
-Kingdom Hearts (with Sora, Riku, and Kairi)
-plenty of Final Fantasies
-A bit of the opposite with Zelda (two girls and a guy [though Sheik is debatable] Link, Navi, and either Zelda, Sheik, Midna, Malon, or Saria)
-Kim Possible (animals count, I guess)
-Superjail! (minus Jailbot for mortality or minus Warden for staffhood)
-Furuba (for the main characters, Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki)
-Mario, Bowser, and Peach
-Pirates of the Caribbean
-Pendragon (pff Bobby, Spader, and Loor)
-Labyrinth (Jareth, that one chick, and Hoggle, really.)I think that's good for now ( ... )

You know, with Zim, I would've gone with Zim, Dib, and Gaz myself. GIR is just too nutty. XD I love me that cute little robot thing.

Ahhhh... the Forever Knights as the Box Ghost. That's pretty good. I would've leaned more towards the DNAliens, but I wasn't sure, so Boxy didn't make his way into the original. Thanky for pointing this out! (And green eyes! WHAT IS UP WITH MAIN CHARACTERS AND GREEN EYES?!?!? WHY CAN'T THEY HAVE BROWN EYES FOR ONCE!??! XD)

Win for win. **thumbs up**

It occurred to me, but we don't really see her as much as GIR, because she doesn't go to sweet rave parties.

Eh. The DNAliens are actually detrimental to society, and the Forever Knights are kind of just.... trying to be evil, but are ultimately useless.
I KNOW, IT'S STARTING TO GIVE ME A COMPLEX.

High five.

That is true. Gaz is really only seen playing video games and drawing piggies. GIR gets to go to sweet rave parties, drink chocolate bubble gum, and take over the house.

Forever Knights = Box Ghost then. Confirmation of the awesomely useless. XD

WHOO! **misses high five**

I'll post a proper analysis response when I'm done tainting my friend with Ben 10 Alien Force. :3

Brilliant analysis, though. I love Danny Phantom.

Your friend doesn't stand a chance. Kind of like how mine never did. Now she's knitting Bevin pouches:

My friend isn't a she.

I'm trying to convince him to fanboy over Gwen so he doesn't care about my Bevin obsession. So far, it's working. :3 He got angry when Gwen kissed Kevin. HA!

DP was amazing.

Ahhhh, I see what you're doing there! Gwen needs more fanboys. That way they'll take her away from Kevin. XD

"YOU GOT YOUR DANNY PHANTOM IN MY BEN 10!"
"YOU GOT YOUR BEN 10 IN MY DANNY PHANTOM!"

Fuck...Kevin = Sam...I CANNOT BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW HARD I WAS LAUGHING AFTER I READ THAT. Then, I laughed even harder when I realized that it was true.

I need to go watch some Danny Phantom now...That's one of those shows where the canon got pretty sucky from time to time, but the fanon made it interesting. Actually, a lot of shows I watch/watched are/were like that...

All-in-all, I applaud you for making connections with Ben 10 and a fandom that I've pretty much abandoned. ("You losers can't write good fanfiction I AM OUT.")

I'm telling you! Dark, brooding, steel-toed booted, vaguely Jewish, and hopelessly in love with the hero! IT'S TOTALLY TRUE!

You know, the canon did get kind of sucky. I never did see all of the 30 minute episodes. They stopped making them in favor of a handful of 1-hour ones. Those were pretty good because they had time to flesh out a real story with each episode. Like live-action tv shows.

And dude, the DP fanfiction sucks ass, for real. Although I did find this: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3049214/1/Running_Blind . Best crossover I have read in a long time. And it's with CSI too! I had JUST gotten into that show when I found it, and holy crap this author got the characters down. I loved this thing to pieces the first time I read it.

There was some AU CIA fic that was pretty good too. And some creepy as hell stalker-thriller thing that was awesome too. I seem to have a thing for looking for law enforcement fics back when I read DP. XD

The Clockwork/Paradox one was what set off my later Paradox spree, actually. XD

Muahaha! The Sam=Kevin thing is totally true! And hey, I wasn't going for identicalness. What few similarities I found were good enough for me. Kevin ought to have a lot of money from that alien tech dealing. Otherwise, that car would not be as cool as it is. Nope, it wouldn't.

Danny/Sam was done right. One of the few canon pairings I have ever come across and wanted to happen.

I love Skulker. I think it's the flaming hair. Which would also explain why I liked Ember so much...

This was awesome fun. XD
