Wait, you don't know? My legal name is actually... 🅱️en.
 
— Pen, "Fortunate Ben"

Pen is a male contestant in Battle for Dream Island, Battle for BFDI, and The Power of Two.

He is currently best friends with Blocky, Eraser, Snowball, and presumably Coiny. Pen was able to make it to the merge in season one, but he didn't get far; he was the 4th eliminated of the 15 mergers and placed 12th overall. He did not make it into Battle for Dream Island Again, as he only received 285 votes. Even worse for him is the fact that he was only 2 spaces and 11 votes away from joining Battle for Dream Island Again after the dead/non-present contestants were removed.

In IDFB, the viewers got a chance to vote on one of the BFDIA rejected/eliminated contestants. He got the second highest amount of votes with 2,426, losing to Match.[2]

Pen competed in BFB on Death P.A.C.T. until quitting in "The Escape From Four" to compete in Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two on Are You Okay.

Appearance[]

Pen is a generic ballpoint pen. His body is slim and white, and his cap is a light blue color. Despite his blue cap, his ink appears to be black or indigo.[BFB4] In early BFDI, his rear shading and bottom were curved, but later on they became straight.

Personality[]

Pen is considered one of the "cool" characters and is good friends with Eraser, Blocky, and Snowball. However, unlike them, Pen is more optimistic and sensible, and has his nicer moments more often than them; an example is when Firey allows Pen and his three friends into Dream Island, Pen is the only one who thanks him. A more subtle example is whenever the eliminated contestants voted for anyone but Leafy to win Dream Island, Pen is the only one out of his friends who didn't slap them for it. Pen also went out of his way to help Rubber Spatula feel better about being the least voted to join, encouraging Rubber Spatula to look at the situation in a more positive light. The biggest and most obvious example is that Pen is nice enough to be friends with the more macho group, who are all jerks keep in mind. He tends to be nicer than his friends, as Blocky and Snowball have been shown to enjoy murdering other contestants, while Eraser seemingly does not care much about other people.

In BFB, Pen appears to be a lot more competitive, outgoing and hard-working, and he is a lot more active within his team. A large portion of Pen's screen time in BFB was competing in challenges, most notably in in BFB 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 14. His greater participation in challenges may be due to his lack of interaction with the other former "cool" characters, as they were separated when the teams were being formed.

Pen has also shown himself to be a bit dimwitted. One example of this can be seen in "Sweet Tooth" when he thought 8 dollars could buy two 5 dollar cakes. He also didn't realize that Tree being stuck inside Bottle would give their team a disadvantage in "This Episode Is About Basketball". Pen proceeds to yell at Tree for not being able to toss the balls well. When Pie brings up the fact that there may be another solution, Pen throws the balls into Black Hole, in hopes of getting them into the basket.

Abilities[]

  • Speed: While Pen is not as fast as Needle or Firey, he shows himself to be somewhat fast, as shown in the ladder climbing challenge when Pen was able to win 1st place.
  • Drawing: Being a pen, Pen can draw with his head and is surprisingly good, though Four would say otherwise.
  • Climbing: Pen is able to get 1st place in "A Leg Up in the Race" and is able to climb a tower of blocks whilst able keep on to it using his legs and feet in "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life".
  • Strategization: Despite being dimwitted at times, Pen can be pretty good at strategizing, such as tricking Four into screeching his team inside them, tricking Black Hole to stop him from sucking his other team's blocks and Golf Ball's shrink a tron to get the dream berry.
  • Blowing wind far: Pen won Death P.A.C.T. 1st place in "Getting Teardrop to Talk" after blowing X's basket from a really far distance.

Official Character Guide biography[]

Pen is BFDI's coolest character. He is a ballpoint pen with blue ink. When an easy shortcut presents itself, Pen knows how to take it. However, he and Tree sometimes have to ask Black Hole for help. His best friend is Eraser. Blocky and Snowball are friends with both.

Despite his problem-solving skills, his empty promises left Pen in a debt of 6,938 quintillion times the price of the world.

Did You Know?: Pen gets jealous every time he sees Pencil erase something she wrote.

Coverage[]

Appearances[]

Battle for Dream Island[]

In "Take The Plunge: Part 1", after Woody screams loudly, Pen and Eraser comment on how Woody isn't cool. He later appears with Snowball, Blocky, and Eraser. During the contest, he just stands on the beam until Ice Cube knocks him over, making him lose.

In "Take the Plunge: Part 2", Pen is picked onto the Squishy Cherries team by Match and Pin. He then chooses Blocky to be on the team. Later, he, Pencil, and Match are used as the "oars" for the team boat. He points out that the finish line is only "20 or so yards away". When Ice Cube is about to win for the Grapes, Pen knocks her away, allowing the Cherries to win the first contest.

In "Barriers and Pitfalls", during the contest, Pen, along with Eraser, Pencil, and Spongy, go to rescue Blocky. When Pencil sings to the Fish Monster, it grabs her. Later, Pen, Eraser, and Blocky try to pull Pencil out. He loses again because Tennis Ball causes Pin to fall off the wall and he gets hit and flung away. In the end, the Cherries were up for elimination.

In "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?", at Cake at Stake, Pen only has one elimination vote. Pen also calls Blocky being safe at two votes and is right. During the contest, Pen follows Blocky's lead in using the answer key to cheat on the test. The Announcer discovers this and sets their scores to 0, bringing their team to lose the challenge as a result.

In "Sweet Tooth", when Blocky is eliminated, Pen is in shock because Blocky is a "great guy" and his friend. During the challenge, Eraser and Pen spot Leafy making a huge vat of cake batter, which she agrees to share with Eraser and Pen for $5 each. Eraser has no money, so Pen decides to pay with $8, to Leafy's anger. Pen soon finds a $1.99 bill on the ground, ending up one penny short; Pen and Eraser then use Coiny to reach $10. Pen ends up with 17 points, but the Cherries lose the challenge.

In "Bridge Crossing", with zero votes, Pen is safe. Pen notices that the Announcer has been saying "The TLC" and asks if it's an object. The Tiny Loser Chamber is then shown for the first time. During the challenge, he finds an extra bridge. Pen tries to motivate Eraser to climb the rope railings of the broken bridge by asking if he wants to win Dream Island, adding that he himself does, and further noting that upon winning he intends to install a sign in front labeling it "Pen Island" -- "No spaces, all caps!". He later falls off when Eraser discovers that the rails are only black bendy straws taped together. Pen then falls down the gorge, screaming. In the stinger, Pen tells Match that golf balls sink.

In "Power of Three", Pen is almost eliminated at three votes. If Pin had used her Win Token, he would've been eliminated. He is put on a team with Eraser and Firey. For a long time, their team is in last place because Firey died; however, they are the first ones to find the real key, so all three of them earn Win Tokens. In the stinger ending, Pen is surprised that they are all still in the air after being flung by the spring.

In "Puzzling Mysteries", before the intro, Pen is able to spin a basketball on his fingertips. Pen is one of the Squishy Cherries who can be chosen by the Grapes to switch teams, but he is not chosen. At the end of the episode, Pen finally finds two pieces that fit together.

In "Cycle of Life", Pen tells the Announcer that his team finally solved the jigsaw puzzle and were released. Amid several amendments to make the challenge fair, Pen points out that it isn't fair that the Squashy Grapes can pick their best runners while they can't. Before the contest starts, Pen expresses his disappointment in there not being an elimination again, saying it adds anticipation and self-preservation. In the competition, Eraser has to carry Pen, and Pen has to carry Pencil. Once again, their team loses.

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare", Pen spends the entire six-legged race getting dragged on the ground, hitting a tree along the way. His team manages to win in the end.

In "Crybaby!", of the two highest-voted Grapes, Pen chooses Snowball to join the Cherries, which he ends up doing. After the results of the ski contest, Pen says "Aw, seriously?" when another tiebreaker must be performed. During the handstand contest, he fails to stand as he slips on Rocky's vomit, but they still win thanks to Eraser.

In "Lofty", in what ends up being a unanimous vote of the two highest-voted Grapes, Pen chooses Rocky over Golf Ball on the basis that Golf Ball "sounds like a boy, even though she's a girl". Pen encourages the Announcer to do a magic trick, and during the challenge, he accidentally pops Bubble by tightening her string. Later on, his balloon, along with Match's, is popped thanks to Leafy's nail.

In "A Leg Up in the Race", Pen places first in the contest. He ends up with 71 points, placing first overall. He is safe from elimination.

In "Don't Lose Your Marbles", Pen spends most of the episode holding an apple until he spots a red ball hanging from the sky. He's the ninth contestant to bring back a ball and gets 3 points.

In "Half a Loaf Is Better Than None", Pen is dared by Eraser to jump over a small pit, Pen jumps it and states it was the easiest thing he's ever done. Eraser tries to do the same thing but almost falls and calls Pen out to save him. Pen calls out to Blocky and they all end up falling off. At one point, Pen says "Which is?", which angers Eraser since that's his line. Pen only manages to jump one hurdle in the contest, along with Firey.

In "Vomitaco", Pen is at one point shown getting covered in the vomit leaking from the giant barf bag. Pen joins the taco-making contest, where he cheats for the third time in the series, and in the same way as in "Sweet Tooth" only without Eraser since he was eliminated. Leafy gets 6 likes for her taco, but Pen receives half as many, despite using the same taco. Pen ends up in the danger zone.

In "Bowling, Now with Explosions!", Pen is a part of the puppet section of the episode that ends up being an April Fools prank with Leafy, Pencil, Spongy, and Blocky. Pen is eliminated with 144 votes. He placed 12th overall.

In "Reveal Novum", Pen is surprised to learn that the Announcer can hear everything they say from inside the TLC. Pen suggests that all of the eliminated contestants just push against one side of the TLC, that way they can just walk right out. When the contestants are close to drowning due to the TLC filling with water, Pen notices a light, which turns out to be the sun.

In "Gardening Hero", Pen tells the viewers that if they vote for him, he'll give them 500 million vigintillion dollars.

In "The Glistening", Pen votes Ice Cube to be eliminated. Pen only gets 32 votes, along with Eraser, and doesn't rejoin. Before he's teleported, Pen names all of the viewers who voted for him to rejoin and promises to eventually pay them the money he promised.

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 2", Pen comes the conclusion that if BFDI is cancelled then they should all be released from the TLC. Instead, they're all eaten by bugs.

In "Return of the Hang Glider", Eraser asks Pen what would happen if they took the first spoken word of the first episode to the 25th word of the 25th episode. Pen guesses that it would probably translate to nothing. After he's released, Pen votes for Leafy to win. Pen seems to be the only one who's seriously concerned with how none of them are getting Dream Island. Pen tries to talk Flower out of destroying the recovery centers but she doesn't listen. He later is in support of Leafy getting the death penalty for stealing Dream Island.

Battle for Dream Island Again[]

In "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", Pen is one of the characters seen chasing after Leafy. When they are in the forest, Pen says that Leafy went through the top row, but Pencil interrupts him, pulling out a Leafy Detector and saying, "Why prospect, when you can detect?" Later, with only 285 votes to join, just one place away from being in BFDIA, he is one of the characters who does not join and is flung to the TLC.

IDFB[]

Pen is only seen briefly inside the TLC in "Welcome Back", where he is waving at the camera with a crazed grin on his face as Coiny lists him as someone they should free. Pen is then given a chance to be voted out of the TLC. Pen ended up being the runner-up in the vote, only second to Match.

Battle for BFDI[]

In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Pen is the first character seen in the season, excited to show Eraser his rectangle, but not before tripping over Rocky. After being told by Eraser that he is instead holding a parallelogram, he shows him a pentagon, which Eraser finds scary. Pen doesn't think it's scary at first, but is then scared by it. He cries for Blocky to help them, which he does by cutting the pentagon to a quadrilateral and a triangle using Saw. Pen is the last contestant to be chosen for a team, ending up on Death P.A.C.T., despite wanting to be with Eraser and Blocky, as they both joined different teams that had one space left. He also wins the challenge first by simply blowing the basket to X.

In "Lick Your Way to Freedom", Pen is with his team searching the jawbreakers for a contestant. When Bottle claims a jawbreaker is empty, Pen corrects her, saying Foldy is inside. His team is declared safe.

In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", Pen is seen standing next to Bottle. Bottle says she's excited to start preventing death, and Gelatin then throws a fork that hits Pen, knocking him into Black Hole. Pen is later recovered and joins his team on their swing.

In "Today's Very Special Episode", after Four tells everyone the next challenge, Pen begins to ask Black Hole if he could draw but is interrupted by Tree, who berates Pen for relying on Black Hole to do challenges.

Later, he is seen protecting Four from the forks, and he asks his teammates what they are going to do. They come up with the idea of calling Black Hole to absorb the forks. After trying, Remote says that Black Holes don't have a good sense of hearing, and Pillow says to go tell him and that she will stay to stop the forks. Pen tells her that it only takes one person to go and tell Black Hole, but Pillow interrupts him saying that if one leaves, they will all face a painful death. After a while of arguing, Pen and his teammates go to tell Black Hole. After asking him, Black Hole goes to suck up the forks, and Pen is dedicated to drawing Four in the 5 seconds that he had left. After finishing it, it gets hit by a fork and flies away, but Bottle catches it. When Four does not know what to think about the drawing, Pen says it is the best so far, but then the recommended characters all come out, shouting angrily at him. His team loses, placing 8th in the worst to the best line.

In "Fortunate Ben", during Cake at Stake, Four says that Pen's drawing led them to their elimination. Pen gets mad at Four for saying that his drawing was bad and tells him to be nice, but Four screeches Pen. X then proceeds to say that Pen's drawing was a "disgrace" to the art community, advising him to never touch a piece of paper ever again. Pen says he'd rather get screeched at, and so Four does so, causing Pen to fall in a daze. Pen is revealed to have the least votes, and X states that he is the first contestant with the fewest votes whose name doesn't start with a B, but Pen says that his legal name is actually 🅱️en. Pen reads the fortune from the fortune cookie he received for being safe, which is about Ice Cube; Pie says that it's a weird fortune.

Markipen

Pen transferring the Twinkle to Marker

In "Four Goes Too Far", he and the other Death P.A.C.T. members close their eyes to avoid the Twinkle. However, Pen opens his to see what sound he is hearing, which appears to be Bubble and Match doing a staring contest while constantly passing the Twinkle, which they then pass to him. Pen attempts to give the Twinkle to Free Food, eventually giving it to Marker by running around them multiple times to find an opening.

In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", Pen is seen heading towards Bleh's crater with the Liar Ball, and because Robot Flower hacked Remote, Tennis Ball controls her with Robot Flower. Remote then stops Pen from going to the crater, which makes him ask what Remote is doing. Remote asks for help as she's being hacked, and Pen watches her horrified as she gains back control and begins sending a bomb. Pen is later seen with Pillow, who is pushing the Liar Ball at ABNTT's crater. At the end of the episode, after Remote finally puts the Liar Ball in the crater, Pen remarks that it feels good scoring a completely defenseless goal.

In "Questions Answered", Pen answers the first question Donut asks in the quiz correctly by saying "frooba dwooba", making his team the first safe.

In "This Episode Is About Basketball", Pen gets angry at Tree for not throwing the balls far, even though Tree is stuck in Bottle. When Pie says that there's a much simpler solution, Pen misinterprets her and throws the balls into Black Hole. Pen then gets frustrated and decides, along with the rest of Death P.A.C.T., to throw the balls himself, thus securing his team's safety.

In "Enter the Exit", he is stacked by Blocky, along with Needle and Match, to make a shape of Four in an attempt to bring Four back. The plan fails, however.

In "What Do You Think of Roleplay?", Pen talks with Eraser and Blocky about the competition so far. Pen mentions that he doesn't even know how "he got in there" (possibly referring to Tree and Bottle), followed by everyone laughing. Blocky mentions wanting to do another prank, but Pen declines to help because his team has a rule with preventing death. He then compliments Eraser on how tolerant he's been since he's on a team with Foldy and she looks like a pentagon. Later on in the episode, when Death P.A.C.T. finds the fake on their team, Pen smiles proudly before walking off.

In "Return of the Rocket Ship", Pen and Death P.A.C.T. run towards the Evil Canyon in search of X's treasure, but are stopped by Black Hole, who reminds them their mission is to prevent death, not cause death (as falling into the Evil Canyon's spikes means dying), and how Pillow had recently died. Pen flutters his arms in response, along with the rest of the team, disappointing Black Hole.

Pen compliments Pie when she stops, but Pie says that Pen was fluttering his arms too. Later, when Tree fails to open Four's mouth, Pen boldly tells Four that "five is greater than four", something which is rebutted with a screech, which Pen and his team block. Pen tells his team to jump in and they enter Four's mouth.

In "Don't Dig Straight Down", Pen and his four other teammates with arms reach out of Four's mouth to grab A Better Name Than That's emerald. Pen then emerges from Four's mouth, saying thank you for the emerald, and that he and his teammates with arms were reaching out to grab it. Then he goes back in. He is not seen for the rest of the episode.

In "The Four is Lava", Pen, Bottle, and Remote have fun sticking their arms out of Four's mouth and have Black Hole repeatedly swing them back up to it every time they are pushed off. Doing this too many times makes Four forcefully put his hand in his mouth, pushing Pen, Bottle and Remote off, not before Pen sees the door to EXIT and Pillow trying to enter it. Four pulls the entire team out of his mouth, which also makes Death P.A.C.T. safe from elimination.

In "The Escape from Four," Pen can at first be seen following Snowball and the crew to see Four actually struggling to do something. He then tries to help pull the eliminated contestants out of Four. He later ends up quitting BFB to join The Power of Two.

Battle for BFB[]

In "X Marks the Spot", Pen is in the crowd of contestants who gasp over X getting lassoed by the Four Colored Team.

In "Uprooting Everything", Pen appears at the beginning of the episode to advertise Firey, Pen, Leafy, and Firey Jr. plushes.

Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two[]

Screenshot 2021-01-20 at 2.08

In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", when Rubber Spatula feels that nobody likes them since they got the least votes to join, Pen makes them feel better by pointing out that over a hundred people still thought they were the best choice. Pen then places TV down, who is displaying Rubber Spatula's votes, so Rubber Spatula can personally thank their voters. During the making of teams, Pen spots Eraser on another team and nervously tries to decline being on Death P.A.C.T again. Pie is annoyed at this as she feels he's betraying the team's mission. Pen tries to explain himself but ultimately gives up and rushes over to be with Eraser. The two high-five, finally getting to be on the same team again. Pen then asks where Blocky is and Eraser says he left them. Pen isn't sure what he means, so Fries explains that Blocky stayed behind with Four. When Pen's old team is named Death P.A.C.T. Again, he wants to have the same name, thinking it sounds awesome. Golf Ball points out to him that the other team already has that name and that they should be named something else before stopping herself. Pen's team is named Are You Okay thanks to Tennis Ball. During the challenge, they try riding Puffball but she's too small, so they go with Tennis Ball's trebuchet. The trebuchet is used to fling Pen's team to the top of the building, but they fly over it and land in a tree, which flings them back into the trebuchet and so on. Puffball catches her teammates using Fries, and Pen's team is the first one safe.

In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Pen becomes shocked when Eraser got obliterated, so he asks Two if he can recover him. However, Two's new recovery center lands on Pen, killing him. Two recovers him, making Pen the first character to be recovered from the new recovery center. Pen was about to recover Eraser, but Tree pushes him aside to recover Bottle. As this happens, Pen waits impatiently for Tree to be done. Then, he recovers Eraser. During the challenge, Golf Ball demands another way of stacking, but Pen disagrees and tells her to help the team if she's "so good at stacking." Eraser gets bored, so he decides to knock down the other team's blocks. Pen tries to stop him, but Eraser replies with "What are they gonna do about it?" Pen stutters. Later, Black Hole is sucking up Are You Okay's stack. Pen has an idea to stop him, which was to use Black Hole preventing death to his advantage. Pen gets near Black Hole to make him stop and come up with another plan. When Teardrop attempted to obliterate Marker, she accidentally obliterates Tennis Ball, making Pen shocked for him, until he gets accidentally obliterated too, despite him not being recovered, Are You Okay is declared safe.

In "Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters", when the blocks that Two stacked up start to fall everywhere, Pen yells for everyone to save themselves. As he runs, he ends up slipping on Barf Bag's barf and gets crushed by some blocks. He is recovered after the intro. For the challenge, Pen grabs a block and runs into Golf Ball's underground factory where they get ready to build a rollercoaster for the amusement park. Later, Pen chants on TV for his tutorial on modifying blocks into chairs and further compliments him for going above and beyond instead of being mediocre. Once they're done, they head back to the park and upload the rollercoaster that Puffball imagined. It ends up being more hazardous than expected, but Pen doesn't mind and adds the seats, saying a dangerous attraction is better than nothing. When the time comes for Two to try out the rollercoaster, Pen is one of the contestants who rides it with them. The ride ends up moving too fast and flies off the track, but everyone lands safely on Death P.A.C.T Again's trampoline. Are You Okay is given a 5/10, which is enough to not be up for elimination. Pen later ends up getting obliterated by a laser fired by Eraser as he was aiming for Teardrop.

In "Gardening Zero", Pen's team is sent to Davidland to protect their Funny Plant. His team is safe as they managed to keep their plant alive before two other teams had theirs killed. In the stinger however, Eraser comments on the David's odor, causing one of them to scream, snapping their plant in two.

In "Fishes and Dishes", Pen is first seen saying he likes the new pool, which Two says they got as one of the their attempts at reviving the funny plants. For the challenge, Pen goes with his team underwater to retrieve the five plates in breathable bubbles. When Golf Ball complains over losing her robotic fish, Pen tries to calm her down, but refuses to listen and hits Pen. In anger, Pen bounces Golf Ball back, but Tennis Ball in defense of Golf Ball bounces Pen, which causes all three of them to start bouncing infinitely into each other. Pen and Golf Ball continue to bicker until Eraser shows up with two plates. After Golf Ball and Tennis Ball are eaten, Eraser and Pen swim back up to the surface, only to be stopped by Tree and Marker and have both of the plates stolen from them. They are then kicked into the depth of the Goiky Canal, where they collide into the Robotic Fish Monster. The explosion pushes both of them back to shore, along the remaining plate. Pen tells Eraser to hurry and give the plate to Two, but Eraser loses it to Coiny's magnet. Pen's team is up for elimination.

In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", during the Cake at Stake ceremony, Pen is the first one safe with 6,866 votes. During the challenge, TV uses the advanced locator to track the nearest location of the Dream Berry required. Pen begins moving TV in the wrong direction, before being corrected, turning around and directing him the right way. Once at Golf Ball's Underground Factory, Golf Ball tells the "Arm-havers" to extract the Dream Berry from the tiny crack. To which, Pen refuses, telling her his or Eraser's arms won't fit in the singular crack. Pen shortly after pulls out the Shrink-a-Tron, Golf Ball warns Pen not to use it but Pen uses it to shrink the team anyways. Pen, and the rest of his team, locks their limbs together in an attempt to grab the Dream Berry. But before they can reach it, a chocolate ball runs into them, making them fall into the crack. A bug crawls inside the crack for revenge, so the team quickly begins running out. Pen notices Death P.A.C.T. Again and they jump inside of Tree's head. Due to Tree's motion, the chocolate balls are bouncing everywhere, and the team tries to avoid getting crushed. Pen says that Golf Ball should not exclude Puffball. Golf Ball says that they shouldn't worry about that right now, saying that they should avoid the chocolate balls. Tree eventually shakes Are You Okay out of his head and onto Puffball, with Two turning them back into regular size. Pen's team is safe when Golf Ball gives Two the Dream Berry and eats it, they are awarded a 8/10 and are safe from elimination. In the stinger, Pen is zapped by X when he attempts to steal their food.

In "The Seven Wonders of Goiky", Pen is first seen saying that he'd like to use Two's limitless power to do cool stunts. He is then rained on by Teardrop when she takes the form of a cloud. For the challenge, Are You Okay is tasked with fixing the damaged volcano. Before they do anything, Pen and the rest of the team tell Golf Ball and Puffball to sit out of today's contest. Tennis Ball figures that they should glue the volcano shut before lava spreads in the surrounding area. TV drives everyone to Robot Flower's shop to find some glue. Eraser ends up getting some from Basketball and the team make their way back to the volcano. They meet up with Golf Ball and Puffball, who have golden arches from Just Not. They glue the arches to the exposed parts of the volcano, making them safe.

In "Balancing P.A.C.T." Pen is in the group of contestants cheering for Donut to swallow the gumball. Later, in the challenge, when Tennis Ball is excluded from sabotaging, Pen allows Tennis Ball to hang out with him. Robot Flower pushes TV off, and Pen, along with Tennis Ball and Eraser are seen screaming. Pen runs to the end of the balance beam to find Teardrop. When Team8s attacks, Tennis Ball uses Pen as a tool to hit Coiny off. Pen compliments Tennis Ball and Team8s is frightened, telling them they do not know where Teardrop is. When Tennis Ball states that Teardrop is immensely powerful and dangerous to target, Pen agrees with Tennis Ball while saying Erasers don't have "brains." Once Tennis Ball says in theory his plan is good, but only possible if they can weaken Teardrop. Later, Pen is seen with Tennis Ball and Eraser, confronting Snowball on trying to eliminate Teardrop. Snowball protects Teardrop and states that they have to fight him and Grassy. Grassy fights Eraser, while Snowball fights Pen and Tennis Ball. Tennis Ball tells Pen to fall of the beam, pulling Snowball along. Him, Tennis Ball and Snowball fall off the beam. They cheer for Eraser and tell him his opportunity to eliminate Teardrop. Unfortunately, Eraser gets knocked off by Teardrop by tricking him, making Are You Okay up for elimination.

In "Outbreak At Stake" Pen is the second one to get infected, bitten by Barf Bag. Eraser takes Pen's cap and takes it with him into the hotel. Pen is seen trying to get inside the hotel, blocked by the boards. In the cake at stake, Pen is declared safe with 6,336 votes, with Eraser taking his cake and boarding up the window. In the bottom 2, Pen bites Puffball, making her infected as well. After Puffball being eliminated, Pen climbs up with Barf Bag to the roof, infecting everyone on the roof. Pen follows the other zombies into the hotel and follows Are You Okay. After Are You Okay splits up, Pen breaks TV and sneaks behind Eraser, biting him. Golf Ball and Tennis Ball experiment with Pen's cap, with nothing working out. Later, Pen along with the other zombies corner Teardrop, making Teardrop fall into Barf Bag. Later, Pen along with Shampoo is slowly approaching the S! but the Gelatin's Steakhouse blocks them from approaching. Pen eats the vomit-affected steaks and gets revived. At the end, Pen gasps with Marker and Tennis Ball. Pen's team is safe, since Golf Ball and Tennis Ball survived the apocalypse.

General[]

  • Pen is 500 million vigintillion dollars in debt to 32 voters as of "The Glistening".
    • As of Getting Teardrop to Talk, he is 200 vigintillion dollars in debt, meaning he paid off a majority of that debt.
    • In the non-canon short "Marker and Coiny plush have arrived!", Pen has repaid more of his debt, as Pencil states that Pen is 17 vigintillion dollars in debt, which is less than his two hundred vigintillion in BFB 1.
      • He fixed all his debt using the Box of Paper Slips, and gave Tennis ball 48 trevigintillion dollars
      • The episode shows Pen's biggest fear is having to pay back that debt.
  • Pen is the last character to be shown from the line of characters in the BFB intro.
  • Pen is the only original contestant to not have a running gag.
  • In "Today's Very Special Episode", Pen is shown to be a purple pen despite having a blue cap. This is unusual, because typically the color of a pen's cap indicates the color of its ink.
    • It is also the first time in the series he has been seen without his cap (not counting "Last BFDI" since it's non-canon).
  • Pen was the last male in BFDI to be created aside from David.
  • Pen is the first person to appear and speak in BFB.
    • He is also the first character who isn't voiced by Cary to speak first in a season.
  • Pen is afraid of pentagons after Eraser and him came in contact with one.
  • Pen apparently can't tell the difference between a rectangle and a parallelogram.
  • Apparently, Pen's legal name is Ben with the "🅱️" emoji.
    • This makes him the only known contestant with a legal name which is not what they are called by.
    • If one were to read into the joke, it seems to imply that the objects live in a place with a legal system or at least an organization that recognizes the legality of the objects' names.
    • If this was true, Pen wouldn't be the first lowest-voted contestant whose name doesn't start with a B. Instead, Cloudy would take that title.
    • The use of "🅱️" emoji references an internet meme in which the initials of words are substituted for the letter "B".
  • Pen was the only member on his team to appear in "Don't Dig Straight Down".
  • As stated by the video "BFB Contestants React to Wiki Comments", Pen is the only one out of his group of friends who hasn’t intentionally killed another character.
    • This makes him one of the few characters overall to have never intentionally killed someone.
  • Out of the eight contestants whose names start with P, Pen is the only male out of them.
  • "Outbreak At Stake" marks Pen's first time killing another character, albeit in a zombified state, since the one time he popped Bubble in "Lofty".
  • According to a stream from Guylan, In BFDI 21, his brother, that did not vote for Pen, was one of the people that Pen gave a shoutout to in the episode.
