old art.. gestures with my hands. Combine soldier, sorta a scar 0 situation but the intent was breaking whatever code controls the obedience in combine soldiers to see if it could be reproduced en masse. Or at least a faster way to kill them. Unfortunately for everyone they survived and the rebels Managed to break the code but also broke some other shit. They’re fine. Memory issues etc etc.

Big and dumb and loud and loves their friends and huge guns. Very happy to test out whatever bullshit their group manages to create. Body bears evidence of self-harm scars which they have zero recollection of and dunno how to feel about. I was too lazy to draw it but they wear normal clothes 90percent of the time. This guy rocks a pair of jorts and a bloodstained hawaiian shirt like you’d never believe. Constantly painting on themself and their armor, they like orange as a color a lot. Also keeps visitors from shooting at them. HAS punched a hunter in the face. Think those bullshit insane courier 6 interpretations but a little more toned down

HI I love them.

I had two very different ideas sooo take both

my mom and i have adored this pasta recipe since 2023 or so and have tweaked it since

you need

-whatever tomatoes you have on hand. the original recipe calls for cherry tomatoes but they can get pricey, so canned tomatoes will do just fine

-block of feta cheese. maybe two if you’re making a REALLY large portion. if you’re making a medium portion we also like to cut it with a little cream cheese to make the sauce nice

-garlic. garrrlicccc. sliced into small discs is my favorite method since i usually chop it but garlic from a jar is fine too

-put that shit in a (preferably glass, but you do whatever) pan. douse the fuck outta it with olive oil. sprinkle sugar liberally on top- it will help cut the acidity of the tomatoes. add seasonings- we usually put Tony’s, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, but whatever you’d prefer. My mom puts a little Cayenne cause she’s insane so have that.

bake it. depending on the batch size and what kind of tomatoes used it usually takes us about 30-40-50 min but who knows we don’t keep track. the longer the better, probably

-while that’s baking get your pasta going. our favorite shapes are penne, rotini, and cellentani, anything that can hold hella sauce. farfelle/bowtie is also well loved

-when the pasta is done, strain it and put it back in the pot you made it in

-during the last 5 minutes mix your pan entirely so everything’s incorporated.

-pour sauce into the pot

-serve

we make this as often as we can, it’s very beloved in my household

Oh what the hell, just one recipe on 1,193 days left.

getting to dust off Raptor is such a treat, so thank you for that!!

when I first designed it I never really put any thought to what was under all the fluff, so exploring what I think is under that heavy visor helm while trying to piece together why she's built like that (in universe) was fun :}c

They would :] it's a more comfortable substitute for the weight of their armor

Its a little nod to one of my absolute favorite fics Human Resources Violation - Benrey is described to have a head that's like if a horse skull had a 4-part jaw. He looks a little something like this? mind you im drawing him from memory here because i dont have time to go through 31 chapters for benry description

Beast Creature :] I love him dearly

But yanno! Joshie loves cowboys,, and HRV takes up like 30% of my brain at any given time soooo horseskull beny appearance! Not as fuckedup as he in in HRV but hes kinda there. What if Beny was a horse. what then

I think hed still be weird and fucked up about it but he has an Okay Idea of what a horse is Supposed to look like.. still a bit wrong tho.. long, cloven hooves, fuckedup eyes and teeth,, and im pretty sure ribs go on the inside.

TLDR: I like the imagery of HRV and think about it often

i think post traitor ending she’d probably eventually land up in that field again (since it’s a rare skill. you can pretty easily teach someone to shoot but train maintenance knowledge is rare, especially in a world where trains are important means of transportation) some years down the line which is also really funny still considering her history.

bullsquid hiding in one of the cargo containers on the train and suddenly the peaceful silly joke cracking conductor you’ve been talking to for an hour while checking the cargo blows its fucking brains out with a few rounds before it can even hiss and continues as normal with the conversation. doesn’t even blink. didn’t even question the fully grown bullsquid. i’d piss myself

Tbh I didn't notice this little detail when I first read it! For those also unaware:

This was already my headcanon lol- there's no reason for her to know how to get that thing up and running AND drive it unless she had a history of working with them. And she seems so chill doing it. Hanging out the window like that.

She loves it :]

I'm very interested in hearing what she has to say about her time as a train driver. She's such a fucking nerd I'm shoving her in a locker 1000000 times.

And traitor Bec driving trainsss... That's so cute... Welcome baaaack you get a little normalcy in your life.. I wonder if it's comforting? To effectively go back to her old life for a little while? Do you think she would have been helping to move the traitors out of the city like that one mission in hl2...

Insert obvious joke I'm not smart enough to make here
