hi hi :3 ask game thingyzzz

💐 and ☕️!!

(btw cutest selfship ever! never forget gordon loves u very much!!)

Hiii !! Tysm for the reply !! <3 (tysm I'm tearing fr me and him love all of you,,, 🥺💗)

💐: How did you two meet?

I will make it short since the story is L O N G- (this seems long but trust me that's just a small portion of it all)

We basically met at Black Mesa, him keeping his crush on me a secret as well as I do. But he is so good in hiding his feelings and staying in character so I haven't seen a single sign of him interested in me, while him seeing my head down so my eyes won't meet his. I was depressed and suicidal too so... It is based off the me from the past months (I am finally cured !!). But he did approach me in a friendly-like way but keeping his tough stoical being at all times. Even while giving me short comforting hugs at sudden times... He was always concerned about my health and being. Until I was much comfortable around him to at least tell him my past until I moved to Miami and started my work as an Ecologist in Sector F Lambda Complex in Black Mesa (I must address that in my story I am 20 years old after I moved from Israel to Miami away from my family since I have family members there in the US). The true romantic spark has happened while in The Resonance Cascade, us fighting aliens and the US Military and saving the human race together. He started being open more about his romantic interest in me, while me trying to deny saying negative stuff about myself and reasons why he should look elsewhere for love. He obviously ignored my bad sayings and he cracked the code for me to be open to him romantically, and it was easier in this tough time. And our first kiss will maybe be me and him hiding somewhere in Xen to rest (maybe in a crystal cave or smth-), being exhausted and our HEV suits and faces covered in blood and alien substances... And he holds me in his arms... His love has cured me and he makes me happier than ever... In the end ? We were both hopelessly devoted to each other... And love at second sight actually.

(I SHOULD DRAW THE KISS SCENE HXKSIXHHCJXJZ,,,,)

(AND THEN WE GET MARRIED WOOOOOO 🥺💗 <December 13th 2022>)

I swear he is like a big bandage on my shattered heart I swear,,, 💗

☕: How do you comfort each other on a bad day?

We cuddle, cuddles and sweet whispers in each other's ears are the medicine...💗👉🏻👈🏻

The Lambda Core #2

Hellooo, it’s me again and some behind the scenes stuff to my biggest fanfiction so far, The Lambda Core. 

Well, in the newest chapter, Paul finally got his very own HEV Suit, and to be honest, I’m very bad with putting him in one of these in my mind. So I decided to pick a reference picture from Half Life: Alyx and draw it xD

I’m not very good at mixing characters together, but I tried my best (his head still looks a little weird to me, but oh well). Now I think I can imagine the stuff I’m writing a whole lot better xD I thought it might be funny, if his hair really sticks out (in the story it’s purple because of a mutation) and the orange in the suit made this possible, it really... doesn’t fit 

But Paul isn’t one to cry about it, the suit needs to be practical and nothing else, so... yeah

Actually, writing this story is more fun than I expected and I’ll write a lot more chapters before this is over. Never expected him to fit into this messy environment, buuuut who am I to judge if someone fits or not (especially some 11-year old, who is never truly 11 years old because look at him)

Aaaanyways, I still have some exams coming up, but I’ll try my best to stay active and post something from time to time. 

Feel free to read my story, it would mean a lot to me!

I so need a tablet for drawing....

[magicmadscience]

HLVRAI Swap AU!

Heavily inspired by @year2000electronics AU and a post by @partytarot !

I’ll probably draw stuff for this later, rn I just have ideas.

Gordon (takes Coomers role)

Usually just referred to as “Dr.Freeman”

Takes Coomers role as a broken AI/malfunctioning NPC, except this time acts as the standard hero/protagonist instead of a tutorial character

What does that mean? Gordon’s got a major Hero Complex and used his status as the ‘main character’ to dump exposition since he’s ‘obviously the smartest person here’. Also constantly getting caught by barnacles and other aliens due to his own Hubris. (“Who would fall for something like th- hELP ME BUBBY!” “Never fear, Gordon is here to save th- BUBBY, HELP ME!”)

Has “Howdy!” As his Reset Phrase instead of “Hello Gordon” because of the first part of Act 1

Still has various clones for some reason

His “cybernetics” are just parts of the HEV suit. He’s dressed like a regular scientist but has the arms of the HEV suit just. Attached to him. If that makes sense.

“I did have a son but we’re working on regaining the rights to his software :D”

Tommy (takes Benreys role)

It’s ok, he’s not human :)

Is still just a ray of sunshine but this time he’s a security guard instead of a scientist! His helmet is custom painted with yellow and red stripes :)

Has inhuman tendencies but in an unnervingly cheery way instead of being scarily lax and chill.

Polite about asking for passports! Still does it constantly but at least he’s polite now

The final boss cause he doesn’t want his friends to leave him, so he just wants them to stay in Xen with him forever.. this is his home after all! They should love it here!!

Uses little skeleton dogs in his final battle

Benrey (takes Tommys role)

Son of G-man posing as a scientist, but is doing a really bad job at it.

Is known for slacking on the job yet is incredibly smart somehow. He reads random guidebooks out of boredom so he knows all kinds of pointless knowledge.

Has the mentality of a bratty teenage skater boy instead of a cheery oblivious kid. Says random combos of “slang” that make no sense whatsoever instead of weird metaphors

Is able to read Tommy’s sweet voice because he “gets his Vibes”

Gets a bike helmet decorated with Gamer stickers instead of a propellor hat

Goes to the tackiest arcade possible for his birthday at the end (if anyone knows a specific location that just radiates ‘Bowling Alley Carpet’ energy please tell me.)

Bubby (takes Gordons role)

The protagonist/player of the game, who’s role playing but like. Only sorta. He absolutely came up with “Bubby” on the spot and ran with it.

Is incredibly trigger happy to make up for the fact that he doesn’t have fire powers anymore. He’s still very impulsive and destructive though.

Is Tsundere-ish in terms of ‘is incredibly Stand-off-ish and bitter but cares about the science team greatly’

Still gets his arm cut off but it’s replaced by some kind of laser cannon instead of a minigun.

References his son “Lamar” at some point. That is absolutely a reference to Kleiners pet headcrab.

Coomer (takes Bubbys role)

Coomer but like. Feistier.

You don’t know how tempted I am to call him “Coomy” to go with Bubby’s name.

Very into boxing and fighting. Will say he was just playfully shoving you when he’s probably broken a limb of yours.

Chooses to beat up all the aliens (and random scientists) with his bare fists.

I don’t have much on Coomer :0.. hes kinda just regular ol Coomer but less broken and a bit more easy to set off.

His “prototypes” have incredibly fucked up cybernetics. Limbs uncomfortablely extended, some are detached and crackling with electricity. Some are missing eyes and stuff. They’re like fucked up robots but with... some parts of flesh.

Feel free to send asks or suggestions about this au! (since I dunno what to do with Sunkist, Darnold or Forzen..) I also just wanna develop this au! Since I’m planning on writing a fic for it sometime :D!

[shitty17]

I cannot draw this i need to write it down before I forget because I think I have the opening scene in my head and I want to make it work so so so bad this is gonna be so cheesy please bear with me. Also enjoy the original music video for this song it kicks so much ass.

I only have up to the first chorus

SONG USED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUC2EQvdzmY

(opening stint, A slow zoom-in on a locked door at the end of a hallway, a quick cut zoom closer between each guitar lick, three shots and two cuts in total. The final shot is a slow zoom in beyond the window of the door, showing Gordon sitting at a table in handcuffs, about to be interrogated. He’s in civvies, and looking nonplussed.)

(as the lyrics start, cut to the setting where he’s in: a combine holding facility, [if done in sfm, decide between nova prospekt or the train station, or find a different map to use.] Coming down the hallway around the corner is a combine overwatch squad lead flanked on either side by CP. Three combine in total.)

Picture this, I'm a bag of dicks, put me to your lips

(They walk by a room where we can see Gordons HEV suit and weapons are being contained and guarded by a CP officer.)

I am sick, I will punch a baby bear in his shit

(A shot of other prisoners behind bars or doors, they get close to see whats happening and the CP officer hits their door or bars with their stun baton to get them to back up.)

Give me lip, I'ma send you to the yard, get a stick

(Shot of a surveillance camera. There is a small cutzoom into its eye between the two guitar licks, zooming all the way in and through as El-P’s verse ends and Killer Mikes begins)

Make a switch, I can end the conversation real quick

(The camera pulls thought the surveillance lens and into the screen that’s recording its footage. With a quick turn of the camera, we see that it was hacked into by the resistance, we see the screen belongs to Eli Vance, who is watching the situation unfold carefully, sitting at his desk in a comfortable location outside of the holding building (perhaps in his lab?). Barney is with him, ashing a cigarette into an ashtray and watching as well. Alyx is standing above them, peering over at the screen.)

I am crack, I ain't lyin', kick a lion in his crack

(Cut to Alyx’s profile, a window in the background. She turns to look out it (focus shift) and realizes that there’s incoming combine in a car and squad.)

I'm the shit, I will fall off in your crib, take a shit

(Alyx taps Barneys shoulder to get his attention and he stands instantly, ready to go. Alyx kisses Eli on the head before she follows him and he smiles, wishing them both well but trusting them to stay alive. He leans back in to watch the screen and get back to work.)

Pinch your momma on the booty, kick your dog, fuck your bitch

(Behind shot of Alyx and Barney holstering their guns, Barney slinging a sniper rifle on his back and Alyx pocketing her pistol. They’re silhouetted by the light of the open door which they walk out of. The quick zoom into the white light is a cut to the next scene, as Killer Mikes verse ends and El-P’s begins)

Fat boy dressed up like he's Santa and took pictures with your kids

(The cut light fades to show Gordons squinting and scowling expression, a flood light directly pointed at his face.)

We the best,

(Camera turns to the Combine leader at the other side of the table, gesturing like he’s interrogating Gordon. His gestures match up to the beat of the words. One of the CP officers is pointing the light to Gordons face while the other is standing behind the leader with his stun baton at the ready.)

we will cut a frowny face in your chest Little wench, 

(Cut back to Gordon, looking bored and unimpressed. He holds his handcuffed hands still against the table, blinking once.)

I'm unmentionably fresh, I'm a mensch

(The combine leader stands up, walks to Gordons side of the table and pulls out his hand gun, gesturing with it and trying to look threatening. The stand is on “Get correct”, the stride to the other side is on “I will walk”, the reach for the holster (while still walking) is on “into a court”, and the pulling out of the gun is on “while erect”. Gordon is still unfazed, but his eyes follow him. I can’t decide where I want the camera to be in this shot, but a follow shot where the camera is focused on the combines hand the whole time might be cool. A POV shot from Gordon that follows through to the next shot would be easier too. Test this out with thumbnails)

Get correct, I will walk into a court while erect

(Profile shot of the combine leaning over Gordon, continuing his threat display while Gordon remains stone-faced.)

Screaming, "Yes, I am guilty, motherfuckers, I am death"

(At this point, Gordon seems about done with this chicanery. He smiles up at the combine officer. I don’t know if I want this to be lip syncing or if I want to animate ASL to this bit, but I’m leaning heavy on ASL. Do research on how well he can sign this line while being handcuffed. The idea that Gordon only speaks to people to fuck with them is really funny, but “Want to hear a good joke?” Could be possible. RESEARCH THIS BIT NUKE CMON!!! Anyway. Either way, his communications to them startle all three combine and they recoil a little in shock.)

Ayy, you wanna hear a good joke?

(Front cut to Gordon. This part is absolutely in ASL because the signs for “Nobody”, “Speak” and “Strangle” are just enough to show that he managed to undo the handcuffs while they were distracted. They dangle off his wrist.)

Nobody speak, nobody get choked

(Shot of the combine, they lunge to restrain him, the officer aiming his gun, the CP raising their batons.)

(instrumental, a quick brass lift at the end of the lyric)

(Cut to the outside of the door of the interrogation room. There’s unclear commotion happening inside. A few flashes of gunfire can be seen. There’s a small spot in the following instrumental that sounds like a quick even chitter, have the window light up with baton electricity when that hits. Right as the trumpets blare the previous chords that were done by guitar, Gordon kicks open the door and walks towards the camera, dusted with blood, holding a stun baton in one hand and a gun in the other. The camera cuts when his face fills the frame)
