ALRIGHT. so. Back in like… 2020, maybe late 2019? I saw this clip on tumblr
Thought it was absolutely hilarious, but other than that didn’t think much on it. But then I kept seeing it. Over and over. And eventually I went okay. Let’s see what this is about.
And That’s How Hlvrai Got Me.
Hlvrai leads me into half life. I was vaguely aware of the games cuz I liked portal. But had never played them. Played through them, became a little obsessed. Nothing insane tho.
I follow a handful of half life blogs including one “Stumpy” @poisonheadcrabsalesman. You may know them. Said blog gets into halo, and at some point I see some posts about rvb. Specifically about how hard it is to draw the characters. For Some Fucking Reason I assumed it was about mecha, so I decide to watch it. It’s not mecha btw. I still don’t know why I thought that.
And that’s how rvb got me.
After I wanna say like a year? Of being insane about rvb, I start poking around halo. Cuz halo is just deep cut rvb lore. Start poking about making an oc. Said oc is the same colour as Roland. I call her yellow.
I call Roland orange.
Stumpy points this out and I, absolutely committed to the bit make this comic, which I end up watching some spops to make. Cuz Yknow. Research. They then later commission me to colour said comic, which causes me to start talking about halo more.

Can we ask about Relay? What's going on over there?
I can make you a graph!
Relay is what exists outside of the universe. She’s technically not one person so much as a concept. There’s a bunch of Relays basically. Anyways. Relay eats things that slip out of reality. And then humans went and started poking holes into reality which makes it a lot easier to eat since she can just. Go enter reality instead of waiting for things to fall out of it. She has no devious motives and is completely trustworthy. I prommy <3
