[  1  ] :   ABOUT ME.    Hello, my name is Lilly! I have been writing on and off Tumblr for years now, and have been writing muses featured on this blog at some point in different formats. I am twenty seven years old with a full time job so there will be times when it will be slow here.[  2  ] :   DISCLAIMER.    I am not the faces that will be featured on this blog nor do I claim to be them. I don’t own any of the screencaps that are used for icons or edits, but if a post says #my gifs. then they were created by me. This is an a concept of Ben Braeden that is 100% mine. THE SHAPESHIFTER ARC IS A BEN BRAEDEN CONCEPT THAT HAS BEEN 100% DESIGNED BY ME AND ME ONLY. I have had this concept stolen from me not once, but two times, and I don't want it to happen again. I take the time to make the graphics and icons that you see on this blog, so please do not steal them. PSD credit goes to plutocommissions and somresources. CARRD credit goes to somresources.

[  3  ] :   MEMES.    I am definitely okay with people wanting to continue memes 100%. There will be times when I will do the same with a meme reply for others, but if you don’t like that, then please don’t feel obligated to reply! Tumblr has now made it so that when you reblog the ask, you can "cut" the original ask, thus continuing a thread from an ask reply! I am completely okay with people wanting to reblog an ask with their reply, and we clip it from there-on.

[  4  ] :   REBLOG KARMA.    I don’t practice it, and I don’t believe in it. If I have reblogged from you, and you DO practice in reblog karma, then please let me know and I’ll delete it and reblog from the source! I try to stay up to date on who all practices it, but even human error shines through sometimes. If I do reblog something from you and you practice reblog karma, please know that it was not intentional.[  5  ] :   NSFW.    The mun is twenty seven and of age, so smut will be presented on this blog occasionally, but only with those I’m comfortable writing with. It will not be dominant on this blog. I will not write anything NSFW related with those who are younger than 21. If I find out that you are underage and engaging in NSFW content, I will unfollow and block you (and report you). Engaging in sexual NSFW while underaged is not okay. There will be gore / blood / etc present very heavily on this blog since the universe is taken place in supernatural setting so please follow at your own risk. NSFW posts will be tagged like so: nsfw /

[  6  ] :   TRIGGERS    Triggers will be tagged! I will do my best to tag triggers as I can, reasonably so. However, since Ben takes place in Supernatural (primarily the gritty aesthetic of early Supernatural) there will be blood and gore featured heavily on this blog, and therefore, won't be tagged. However, the more dangerous triggers and those that my mutuals requests, will be tagged accordingly. If I ever miss one, please, let me know via inbox or IM ( anon or not, whichever you are comfortable with! ) the trigger and I will go back and tag it. They will be tagged like so: trigger /[  7  ] :   DRAMA.   I do my best to not engage in any semblance of drama, and I appreciate being left out of them as well. I am in my mid-twenties with life obligations that require more of my attention than being on here. If you are interested in a Partner that is more consistent on here and ooc then this may not be the blog for you. I usually don't log in on the weekends at times, and can be sporadic at times. I truly believe in the friendships that can come back and talk like no time has passed, and who do not hold grudges if I am sporadic with my activity. I do not wish to be guilt-tripped to be on here, or to write.

The Braedens forgot about Dean Winchester and were leading happy lives for years without any monsters, hunters, or anything associated with the supernatural life. Ben took up baseball again, and was almost done with high school when something changed.It hit him randomly, and unexpectedly, in the middle of class. Nothing important happened, nothing hit him on the head, he was sitting in class - dozing off. And the name Winchester surfaced in the back of his head, and immediately it was like he could remember something that he couldn’t quite say. Something on the tip of his tongue. So when Ben went home that day, he started to research on everything Winchester. The town, the guns, anything that appeared when he searched it.Until Ben came across names. Dean Winchester, was wanted back in St. Louis for murders before arrested alongside his brother, Sam Winchester, a few years later. Just like that Ben started to search everything he could on the two Winchesters, learning whatever the Internet could provide him about the two men. That night when he went to sleep, it was like a wall inside his mind cracked and the memories of it all slowly started to seep in.That night, Ben remembered how he first met Dean at his eighth birthday, their characteristics of personality similar and scaring him into believing that Dean was his dad. But his mom denied it and he hadn’t seen the Winchester for years. Until Dean returned, damaged and broken about something he suppressed from Ben - for his own protection.And that’s when Ben started to remember everything. By the time he woke up, he paced around his place, remembering when Dean shoved him against the wall one random night after being gone on hunts for days. Ben remembered when he ran upstairs to his room and desperately called Dean to asked him for help, that men were in the house, and that he was scared. Ben started to remember the night when a demon possessed his mom, and stabbed herself in an attempt to kill her before exorcising from her body. That was the first time when Ben wielded a weapon and had to kill someone in order to clear a passage for Dean carrying his hurt mom to the Impala.And then Ben remembered the hospital - how angry he was at Dean. That sort of hatred was consuming him before it was suddenly replaced with heavy nothingness. How Dean entered the room and introduced himself as a driver that accidentally hit his mom when they were in the car. Dean took their memories. And immediately, all the anger that was suppressed over years due to false memories arose again.In an attempt to spite Dean, and his constant reminder that Ben would never shoot a gun, Ben started to become a hunter. He started to track cases nearby that he could take and started to take down monsters. He dropped out of baseball, he started to get detention - most of the time he never showed up for - and distancing himself from his mom because of his constant need to research cases. His mom saw this, and often they fought with each other, and she would demand why he was suddenly acting out - but Ben never told her, because he knew that she didn’t even remember Dean.Seeing another case that was slightly farther from his others, Ben acted on it and said that his school was taking him on a field trip and he had to leave for a couple days. But when he came back, he found his mom in a pool of her own blood. When the police investigated, Ben became a primary suspect due to the house having no sign of forced entry and the body looking like there was little to no struggle - the killer was someone she knew and trusted, which lead Ben to believe that a shapeshifter took Ben’s form and killed his mom with his face, making his mom believe that her own son wanted to kill her.Consumed with guilt, Ben fled his town not long after, without regards of the police, and started to search out Dean to blame him for what happened - claiming that if they didn’t forget, then they would be able to protect themselves and his mom would have still been alive. Years later, he is still looking for Dean, and trying to make headway on where the Winchesters could be, while also still running away from the shapeshifter that killed his mom. Ben has grown to find out over the years that the shapeshifter is still in the shape of him, which means that the shapeshifter keeps collecting his memories, even new ones that are created in the present but they’re delayed for the shapeshifter. So when Ben leaves a town, the shapeshifter shows up there days later. Ben has also grown to find out that the shapeshifter has been killing innocent people in towns that he leaves from; finding out in newspaper that the innocent woman he talked to about the hunting case was found dead after Ben left.

[  @LILYSPAINTEDRED  ] :      LILY WINCHESTER       Ben and Lily’s relationship wasn’t easy in the beginning when he first met her in the bunker, because he saw nothing but a stranger where she saw a brother, so his anger (at Dean, at his own losses, at the years of absence) curdled into cruelty. He pushed her away, resenting how easily she seemed to fit into a place he’d fought his whole life to reach. But Lily’s patience, her stubborn warmth laced with sharp wit wore through the walls he built. Over time, she stopped being just Dean’s other kid and became his sister in truth, the one person who could tease him into laughing or call him on his self destruction without driving him further away. Lily is proof that family is about who stays. And in his own jagged way, he’s realized he would do anything to protect her, because loving her feels like reclaiming something he thought he’d lost forever.

[  @DARKNESSHUNTED  ] :      CALLIOPE MCINTYRE       Calliope and Ben's dynamic stems back since they were in school together, before he has been covered in trauma and scars. She knew a part of him before the hunting life claimed him, and he in turn relies on her to keep him grounded. When Ben's mother died, Calliope's parents were taken by demons, and thus the two of them were thrusted in a world of going on the run together. Both of them navigated this new arc in their lives together, relying on their friendship to help them get through their hardships.

[  @ROTTENACHE  ] :      JESSE TURNER       Two sides of the same coin, bound like brothers to the end. Ben and Jesse’s paths collided when both were searching for answers (Ben stepping further into hunting while carrying the weight of being framed for murder, Jesse returning stateside with his powers reawakened after losing his father). At first, their differences felt insurmountable, but they discovered their common ground in the simplest, sharpest truth: they just want to save lives. Hunting forged a bond stronger than blood. Over time, their partnership deepened into some semblance of a brotherhood, one defined not by circumstance but by choice. Yet their journey is haunted by a cruel destiny: Jesse, destined to reclaim Hell’s throne as the Antichrist, and Ben, tied unknowingly to Heaven through his Winchester blood, marked as the one fated to kill him. Their story mirrors the Winchesters before them, caught in a prophecy neither asked for, fighting tooth and nail to carve out their own journey. And like true brothers, they’ve vowed to go down swinging together, no matter what destiny demands. Eventually, Jesse meets Ben's sister, Lily, and he gets to watch a love blossom between the both of them, leading eventually to Jesse and Lily retiring from hunting together as a couple.
