boomer brainrot strong? do you have any headcanons you'd be willing to share...
*rubs hands together like a mad scientist* Oh I do...
Bubby and Coomer are around the same age, though Bubby has not been out of his tube for long.
Bubby just is his name.
Bubby was supposed to be both the ultimate lifeform and a brilliant scientist, but was not allowed out of the tube until he proved himself as smart as they wanted him to be
This resulted in him being such a hothead about himself
Black Mesa's higher-ups didn't really see him as a person, either.
Dr Coomer has known Bubby since his 30's, and was always the most patient and encouraging of him.
The day Bubby was released, Coomer was there.
Coomer managed to convince everyone else that in order to really learn, Bubby had to be hands-on. This is how he finally was released
This is also true, he learns better with his hands.
Dr Coomer's parents were volunteers of an experiment, and so he has Xen DNA in his system. Whether he knows is unclear.
Coomer is fluent in Sweet Voice (how Gordon never saw that is a mystery), and teaches Bubby how to read it as well
Once everyone is out of Black Mesa, they all have to bunk at Tommy's house since the Science Team had all lived in dorms inside the building.
While there, everyone steadily grows closer to each other.
Dr Coomer basically adopts everyone else. Bubby becomes their "disgruntled" grandpa.
He actually cares a great deal about everyone else, but he struggles with showing it.
Once introduced to video games, Bubby adores them. Because of this, Dr Coomer slowly finds himself enjoying them as well.
Dr Coomer's robotic limbs are cold when he's not moving. Bubby loves that about him.
Coomer throws science out of his life as much as he can, only engaging in it when he needs to.
Bubby, however, still loves science. He finds himself trying to DIY technology and inventing things.
When Bubby does finally psych himself up enough to apologize to Gordon about the whole betrayal thing, Dr Coomer is right there beside him
Dr Coomer winds up introducing Bubby to surface life in general.
Bubby finds he likes the ocean, too.
Dr Coomer much prefers the wilderness, while Bubby prefers open spaces to see the stars
They start dating once they're on the surface together
Their relationship is very healthy. They do argue every now and then, but it's usually never serious.
If it is serious, Dr Coomer has patience enough for the both of them to figure it out
Part of Dr Coomer's arc continues after Black Mesa. He suddenly wonders, if this really IS a video game, is that why he loves ropes so much? Was he supposed to die to one???
Bubby is able to calm him down, telling him that that just means Coomer is one smart sonuvagun to avoid that for so long.
You will often find both of them outside, usually on a park bench somewhere.
