Description

I almost forgot about this. Since I had done a picture for Ryan and Charlotte's birthday, I had decided that I was also going to do one for Benjamiin's birthday as well, to be fair. But since Ryan and Charlotte's birthday happens in the story, I made a huge deal about it, and thus remembered. I completely forgot about Ben's birthday until ~callisto-chan reminded me.

I'm a terrible, terrible creator, I swear.

But she reminded me in time, and Ben gets his picture. I just don't think he's very happy about it, do you? ;P

So May 12, 2011 marks Ben's two hundred and thirty second birthday., having been born in 1779. I think it's sort of funny that, as much grief as Edward gets for being over a hundred and falling for a seventeen year old girl, Benjamin happens to be way older. :O_o: Still, I think some slack would be cut for him because he doesn't have the stigma of being a two hundred thirty one (in this case) year old virgin. Dude, he's a guy; it might be romantic and all for him to wait, but I think 'experimentation' is much more plausible, and honestly, Ryan would be more annoyed if he was a virgin. I know I would be. But anyway...

I'm not saying who the present's from, although I will say that he's going to place it on a special shelf on his bookcase, and absolutely no one is allowed to touch it. The hat, though, I can safely say is from Lia. Of course it is; there's only two people who could get away with putting something so ridiculous on him, and one of them wouldn't even think to do that to him. Ha ha, poor guy; looks like someones about to get murdered. >.>

So yeah, happy birthday Benjamin! Celebrate by scaring a werewolf and attempting to be romantic with your girlfriend. <.<

Ha ha, the first thing I noticed was his joyous and excited expression. :P Happy birthday indeed!

I actually rather like how his face turned out, to be honest. It's such a strange thing to notice, but there's something about the eyes in particular that turned out really well. The nose is pretty good, too. And of course, his hair looks pretty well, just pretty good too. All those gorgeous waves! And the dark blue looks really good on him; I know you already like to put him predominantly in blue, but it's not always this dark, and I like how it looks on him.

I think Edward gets so much flack because Meyer said outright that her vampires were 'frozen' mentally at the age they were turned...and with Edward being frozen at 17, him being a virgin seems a little...implausible, even for 1917, let alone after that. I think it's the way that you created your vampires, especially purebred ones, that makes the age gap seem a bit more...tolerable than in Meyer's case, aside from a whole host of other factors.

But ha ha, I think the hat just makes the whole picture right there. ;P Happy birthday, Ben! Don't get too excited now! :P
