the thing that always. Bothered me about the blue gnome (other than the obvious) is that it like. He repeatedly tells Wayne/Gordon that he shouldn’t take the red gnome to the end, that he’s making a mistake and that something bad is going to happen if he does and like…………….. he’s not . Wrong.

And just like that, con is over.

OH SHHH- PEOPLE ARE COMING, I'LL SET UP THE EXPLOSIVES BEEMAN, DON'T PANIC- -Eve (Asker's Note for Mod: It should be noted that Eve has no access to explosives, and is saying this just to mess with Beeman)

“What-!?”

[The sudden exclamation makes him startle and forget what he’s doing! He has to start all over again. There… don’t seem to be any people approaching]

[this-should-do]

okay change my mind HATE hlvr;

was getting pumped in the elevator for the first big hecu fight of the game, heard the first few notes of diabolical adrenaline guitar (my fav hl song),

what im p sure is a new loading screen in the middle of the ride up (there are prob twice as many load screens in the vr version prob for performance? i guess? but this is already a really old game but might engine stuff im no computer guy)

due to how the engine works or sumthing songs stop playing on load screens or upon loading a save,

diabolical adrenaline guitar stops :(

yo dude, i hope this is ok to ask: i saw u mention in the tags of that hlvr comic u drew about your au and i'm rlly curious what its about? (u dont have to talk about it if you dont want too, its all fine :-p !)

IM SHY but i will talk.... for reference i use ‘au’ in the way a lot of fnaf artists use it. so like shorthand for: the lore is incredibly vague so here is my version of events and characters! :]

i might do a big writeup one day if there is any interest but the TLDR is: benrey is a liminal being, stuck between being both dead and alive. they were caught in the first resonance cascade and essentially got tossed out of existence - erased but still living. the only person who can remember their existence at all is tommy

benrey doesn’t want to be left alone so is keeping gordon (who is his close child friend and maybe related to him, still workshopping this) and by extension, black mesa as a whole, in this timeloop type game reset of the resonance cascade over and over. benrey likes gordon, but is bitter about being forgotten, and doesn’t want to let go. it’s like a ghost story. 

additionally, benrey’s passport starts out normal enough, but as they get more and more detached from their ‘real’ identity it get’s more and more messed up. from benrey [last name] to the benrey benrey benrey benrey we know as benrey slowly, but insidiously loses their humanity

Spork? You’re deadass one of the best people I’ve met. You’re friendly, open to talk about damn well near anything, an INCREDIBLE author, and an even better friend. You’re one of three huge factors in why I actually started writing HLVRS, and you’ve reduced me to tears once or twice (or more) with Y2KAIS. You’re truly amazing, keep it up💜💜💜(❄️) Oh and! Remember to take care of yourself! Your mental well being is more important than a story💜💜

HI THIS IS LITERALLY SO SWEET???? I love you so very much!!/p

I am SOSOSO glad we got to talking lately, and im also glad you started HLVRS, because im very excited to see where this is going!!!!!

as for all those other parts just. WAH

y2kais has finally made me friends i really really like to be around. ive always had a hard time keeping friends and have tended to attach myself to toxic people so... now having so many good friends? its so epic and cool. i love it :,) i love you/p

HLVR:AI RoleSwap Headcanons, Part 1

Okay, so, this post is basically everyone except Benrey and Gordon. I'm doing those two seperate since I have many, MANY, more headcanons for them than the rest of the Team. I'll try to post them soon, but I normally don't have a lot of time on my PC. So, have fun reading Part one of my headcanons!

G-MAN:

For me, G-Man isn’t directly pushing everything forward, as I believe the OG-HLVR did have G-Man pushing the game a bit. Yes, he did know that Gordon would eventually become the BBEG, but he was much more indirect than direct. Like, it was much more of a Butterfly Effect which stuck with Gordon than direct manipulation. G-Man wasn’t intentionally bad, he just had a terrible way of saying things and it partially messed up Gordon, along with other factors I’ll talk about in Part 2 or 3.

He doesn’t tell Gordon that he would become the BBEG since G-Man thought “It will cause the battle to come sooner. I do not want to be unprepared, and if I tell him, it would probably be at a time where I, myself, am unprepared.” G-Man is selfish, but overall he just wants to be ready for the worst, and doesn’t want Gordon to become BBEG sooner than later, since that would leave him less time if he needed it (he doesn’t need it tho).

I also think instead of BeyBlades, G-Man would collect Pokemon for Tommy. That’s it.

TOMMY:

With Tommy, I think he’d be a lot more “Canon/VR G-Man-like”, though is definitely nicer and more helping than said G-Man. G-Man in my mind isn’t ‘protecting’ Tommy in any definite way, since I would think Tommy is much higher in the corporate ladders than Canon/VR (Since G-Man talked about co-workers/employers, meaning he was below someone(s)), and is probably stronger than JobSwap G-Man. I feel like Tommy would talk to Benrey a bit more (Maybe +1 or 2 convos?) than Canon G-Man, but is still cryptic.

Tommy would definitely talk to Gordon though when the game is “asleep,” (when Benrey is asleep/offline) since I believe that's when everyone can fully speak their minds, and not worry about their “darker thoughts” (Code) to block them. I also believe that Tommy would have the power to create a “contract” with Gordon, much like Canon Freeman and G-Man’s Deal. The quote below is basically the critical part of the “Contract” I believe Tommy would make, though it can obvisously be edited in someway:

“When time for the contracted personnel is not needed, they will go into a hibernating-like stasis. The personnel will wake up immediately on par with the contractor’s needs. The permitted outlier is if someone is wanting said personnel deeply, they can be brought out of stasis, yet it needs a great amount of dedication. This contract only goes into effect once the contracted person has lost their life completely once.”

I also think Tommy would try to warn Benrey of Gordon’s changing, but since he can only so much, it is a bit confusing for Benrey. Tommy isn’t malicious in all of this, so he will/does try to help Gordon in what he can do (mostly the backup contract, though Benrey doesn't know about it, even in the end).

Bubby and Coomer:

Bubby wouldn’t trust Benrey in the slightest, try to kill him more than once (ex: “Accidentally” nudging him near a large drop, letting Benrey go first into fights then throwing grenades, etc), until most of the Team tells him to stop or they’re never getting out of Black Mesa. Bubby doesn't really care though since he was created at Black Mesa.

Gordon would snap the hardest out of the Team though, maybe even going to the extent of almost fighting Bubby (or at least a solid punch in the face). Gordon just wants everyone to get out and go home, and Bubby is impeding on that hope, so obviously Gordon is going to stand up and say something. Plus Bubby wants one of his friends dead, and that is a big “No” for the Security Guard.

I would think after Gordon’s scolding, Bubby would lower the murder attempts, though still doesn’t like the idea of Benrey being with them until Coomer talks Bubby out of hating Benrey even more so, since Benrey is a key factor of staying alive. The only time he derails from the new thinking was the arm incident, where Bubby had explained to Gordon what he had heard with the trackers in the HEV suit. Bubby is the one to tell the soldiers to "fuck him up." Gordon just wanted the trackers removed from the suit.

And I love playing with the idea of Coomer’s “Broken-yet-not-Broke” AI system. He’s essentially a "fixed" version of his Canon self,though still has to kill clones. He also plays like he's broken for his own amusement. Coomer can say a lot more, and his voice cuts a lot less, but he likes messing with Benrey, so why actually work?

Coomer is also the caretaker of the PlayCoins, though doesn't say it as much as Canon-Coomer. Bubby has that role.

Darnold and Forzen:

Forzen would be a mixologist with a side in cybernetics, though he was more-or-less forced to become a cybernetic scientist with the computers in the lab continuously breaking. He would know how to fix most programming and can create some sort of machinery, though his programming is much further than his metal bending. He was able to make Benrey’s future gun-hand, and was able to give it to him with a mix of shoving the gun at the wound and a drink/pill that has semi-similar properties to the potion scene in OG HLVR (Flesh would mold to/into gun-hand). I feel Forzen in my eyes is still as NPC as he was in the original, since for me he didn’t really create a large impact in the overarching story.

I also think Forzen is a very big pacifist, in his eyes. He doesn’t use guns, but knows how to use trip mines and bombs like their playthings, since I do believe Forzen would have a few years of military training under his belt. He will fight if he had too, but he would like to simply just remove himself from the fighting. He didn’t like the military one bit when he was in it, but he was grateful for the tips on what weaponry the enemy is using, and how to defend himself from attackers.

I think he would evacuate with his necessities (in a backpack) all the way to the Lambda Complex, after the Team got to Xen. Forzen would be at the party, at minimum, since he had helped Benrey stay alive and had given Benrey something to defend himself.

For Darnold, I think he wanted to join the military so he could go to college (obviously) and get a degree in either technology or mixology (this is still WIP). I did think Darnold would eventually join the Science Team after their second/third meetup, since they seem to just be annihilating the Military, and he likes his life more than having to fight a five man army with only an automatic.

I also think that Darnold would help them whenever they had to go above ground (Like Darnold being a scout and getting rid of small targets/ snipers, etc), but he would also stay in the Lambda Complex once everyone went to Xen, so when they came back, he could "lead them out as fast as possible" (Real reason was because he didn’t like the aliens and the sound of going to the alien’s homeworld). Obviously this plan didn’t really work, but Tommy saw the help Darnold gave the Team and brought him back to them (someway, somehow, WIP).

Even though he wasn’t necessarily close with the Science Team, they still saw Darnold as trustworthy and a friend.

But uh, yeah, that's everybody except Benrey and Gordon! If there's anything wrong, please let me know! Have a good day/night

Some Hlvrp!Gorden doodles (+ Gman in one of them) I did- yesterday?? (Time is weird)

And bubby

Text; "Gorden if you don't hurry up I'm going to fucking explode"

(May have the quote a bit wrong but meh)

Edit: the bubby image is a lil messed up, but it doesn't seem to wanna cooperate when I try to fix it so it is how it is.

[entropyeverywhere]

So uh

I said yesterday I'd do a Hlvrp!Gorden post but completely forgor so here it is!

(Info under break because this is a LOT of information)

Gorden Freeman

v- thought on what I think he'd look like :3

He has a lot of unchanged stuff about his character like the fact he has a PhD, the MIT shit, and is a theoretical Physicists.

BUT

He does have differences

- Transgender [ftm] (Made him transmasc bc I have a feminine voice [against my own free will] so to accommodate that with a MALE character, Trans guys. [He's also in the middle of transitioning when the Resonece Cascade happens]) and goes by He/They [or any masc/neu (projection :D)]

- Bro gots CIPA

Which makes sense to me, I'm playing gorden, and if I can't feel the pain, neither should he. Lmao

- He dyes his hair guys, the white streaks? Unnatural. He gave himself that because he thought they were cool. (And honestly, I think they fit)

May change some of the things up because well, yeah

I also need to give him a REAL HEV suit, because I have no clue how to actually draw it to be fair, but I plan on doing a study of it

Also, scientists look!

Tried keeping it simular to how the other scientists look but giving him ✨️pazzaz✨️ to add some personality to him.

Also, when his hair is down, he deadass has a bit of a mullet, but likes to make lil rat tail braid in his hair

Was debating in giving him ripped jeans but I'm fairly certain that'd be a safety hazard

BUT HIS GLASSES-

Don't question my design choices :)

I will also digitalize the drawing at some point, but for now, paper drawinf I did in the middle of Math

I also wanna give him some really strong beef with Gman because it seems funny. Gman is supposed to be the antagonist of the Half-Life game(s?) so why not make him and Gorden, have beef?

Anyways, that's the gorden

Will do art dumps of hom at some point :3
