Ignore The Icon, This Is A Hlvrai Blog

Kids these days man…

Who are you, really?

it reminded me of the times dr coomer, benrey and the gnome have these moments of insistence of not wanting to progress further to reach the end of the game and to just stay in the present moment longer or even forever.

as the scene progress and gorden validates stain's reasons of wanting to stay. "but it's your decision, it's your choice to make." *points at the sun.* "but that will be everywhere, by the way. thats not just here, just so you know." and being patient with him while he thinks.

"if this is everywhere, then i want to see more."

there's a throwaway line in hlvrai about bubby needing to charge his ipod, and well one thing led to another

It's funny to think about him jamming out while they fight aliens and such

like in hlvrai, his hand clips through everybody. he can act like he's touching them by resting his hand around their shoulder or cheek, and maybe it feels like something for the AIs, but overall he can't actually make contact.

puts his hand on ur shoulder and it leaves you with a bite mark

I'M BACK MOTHERFUCKERS!!

The hl2vrai stream was so fun + it's always so nice to reunite with old brainworms <3 Anyway these are pretty much just warmup + practice doodles after a while of not doing much drawing. I'll probably change how I draw everyone as time goes on + we get more streams.

this makes it fun that bubby is also the only one in the science team who doesn’t get anyyy kind of insider info. benrey knows their world is kind of fake and knows gordon is an outsider, coomer knows they’re characters in a video game and gordon is the player, tommy sees game elements and is possibly enlightened by his gman status, bubby doesn’t know shit. he thinks that he and gordon risked their lives together, nearly died repeatedly, and fought their way out side by side, and that he got gordon’s hand cut off.

this sets up a fun contrast between coomer and bubby’s relationships with gordon. coomer knows that gordon was never in danger, was never really “there”, but considers him a friend and waits for him. bubby doesn’t consider him a friend, or doesn’t admit it, but does think that they’re brothers in arms, that they went though hell together.
