Darnold and his HIMBO BOYFRIEND

Yes.

Who's the one with pink hair playing with dolls?

That would be jet. His back story is that he was in the black ops, escaped during the res cas and found and made up with forzen a while after and now he hangs out with the science team and team nice. (meaning the actual canon characters.)

Eventually he'll move in with Gordon because Gordon is just a magnet for literally everyone... Gordon loves them all and wouldn't trade any of his friends for the world.

(There's like 9 canon characters in hlvrai and even with the characters from half life canon thrown in that still leaves a very empty world. Jet makes the world fuller and makes space for very interesting character interactions.)

gordon gives benrey a pet frog as a present for being good and not bad because they aren't bad

I've been thinking about this and today is the day I'm going to write it, just for you guys. Unfortunately I need just a little bit of help with the ending. Benny, Think you could help? @abbyfreemansmind

Gordon puts away his phone after sending the final text.

"Hey Benny, how would you feel about sleeping over at Tommy's for a couple days? He said he got a new game we could marathon and it has lots of cartoons guts and gore."

Benrey looks up at him from their computer. Today is a bad day for acting understanding what is being said to them. Gordon repeats himself, chuckling quietly. Benrey nods eagerly, knowing Tommy finds the best games, and goes to pack for another awesome sleepover. They don't even notice when Gordon doesn't stop them from overpacking.

The drive there is more fun then usual, with Gordon letting him play crazy frog on repeat the whole drive, despite how visibly irritated it seems to make him. When they get there darnold, forzen and even one of the remaining/defected black ops members is there... he has pink hair and is playing with some expensive looking dolls. Gordon goes to introduce himself and gets slapped with pink tentacle hair... definitely whatever the fuck benrey is...

--------------------

Back at the Freeman residence work crews start to show up, being led by a one of Gordon's friends from black mesa.

"Where do we put the supplies Mr Calhoun?"

"Anywhere that isn't a flower bed is fine."

He heads inside to feed maribelle and cats, stopping briefly to set Nikola somewhere safe. Nikola chirps pleasantly and barney give him a quick pet before laying down the food bowls and heading back out to direct the work crews.

Nikola hops down, gently bouncing over to the cats, trying to swipe a tiny bit of food only to stop short at seeing maribelle. His spines stand on end for a moment before she looks at him, blinks and happily trots away and flops onto her doggy bed for a nap. Nikola relaxes and grabs a bite of cat food before hopping back to the counter where barney set him to eat.

Barney can be heard outside directing crews where to dig and where the large stones making up the cave will go. Nikola peeks out the window as men are digging out a lovely place for a swim and building a nice, dark cave to hide and rest in. Nikola is pleased with this place and will have to visit later. He sees barney looking at his talking rock, seemingly happy.

------------------

Back at Tommy's house benrey is starting to notice that Gordon seems really excited about something on his phone and is about to ask when there's a knock on the door. Forzen grins and goes to answer it, which makes benrey very curious. They follow quietly and see Forzen hugging another ex-soldier. Forzen rushes him back to the others and introduces him as adrian.

Darnold and Gordon head out to get lunch while everyone else gets to know each other and play games. As soon as he's out of their hearing range he calls barney to finalize the plans.

---------------------

After three days of gaming, sleepover activities and hanging with ex-soldiers benrey is very much ready to go home. Gordon seemed really excited to leave too, which makes them very curious what Gordon is doing. As they drive home he keeps getting more and more excited about something and it's honestly contagious, making benrey start bouncing in his seat as they pull into the driveway. They watch Gordon grab all of their things and smile brightly at them.

"Hey, could you head to the back and water the flowerbeds?"

Benrey nods and gets out of the car, heading around the house and opening the back gate only to freeze in place at the sight before them.

The back garden was transformed, a pool filled with young lily pads and reeds spread across the yard, bordered by dark stones. Behind the pond there's a small cave, dark and damp, but fitting. A small bridge across the pond to a small sheltered area where a fairy circle has formed. The quiet chirps of frogs can be heard from the cave and at the bottom of the water benrey can see tadpoles darting around. A chumtoad sits peacefully basking on the pools edge.

They hear the back door open and arms wrap around them from behind.

"Happy birthday! Do you like your gift?"

Gordo in like a orange suit whether it be a sailor uniform or a tux and his hair can be all dolled up. Idk man just came to me like a freight train hehehe

Seriously nathan, I can't. I'm laughing too much. Maybe someone else might but I just can't stop laughing. And that gif you sent isn't helping!

Gordon as a magical guy perhaps saving his boyfriends

I can't stop laughing long enough to think of anything. Genuinely. Where did this ever come from? What would it look like?

Okay! So, as you can probably tell I just cleaned all the asks out of my box. I hope you all don't mind the spam... sorry.

For being so nice and cute, copy this to ten other bloggers who you think are wonderful. Keep the game going and make others feel beautiful! 💕 Please make sure you take care of yourself and are not overworking!

1. Things like this, while sweet, make me uncomfortable. I won't be sending this to anyone.

2. If anyone wants to send me something like this, don't do it on anon. It feels awkward and insincere to me, even if it's meant to brighten someone's mood. I understand if you're shy or just don't feel comfortable "being known" as I can feel like that too, it's just uncomfortable to have the... expectation of something like this when I don't even know who you are...

Hotted BOOBS up ahead! Tits, big ones!

I don't know who sent this but you made me laugh. Sorry it took so long to respond, I never got a notification that I got an ask.

Benrey and Gordon hurt/comfort? Maybe Gordon had a nightmare and Benrey comforts him? Cuddles and sweetness, maybe a glass of water, with all the awkwardness of a nonhuman entity.

As good as this idea is, I couldn't think of anything.

What's everybody's favorite food?

This is very random... its not a question I expected to lack an answer to...

Does Benrey have a chumtoad or does Barney exist in this universe? 🛂

Barney exists! And like half life barney he escaped the rescas. Yes, he has a chumtoad. He loves his chumtoad very much.

Can we have more of Lamarr? Maybe she and Mari could have a fun play date?

You really love your baby girl don't you bubby? As much as I'd love to do more nothing is coming to mind...

Benrey as a horror game developer. He comes up with weird, out-there ideas that just kinda, you know, work bro. Maybe he makes a game about a fuckin... A fungus infection or some shit. (NOT a fungal infection. It's not fuckin Athlete Feet Simulator.) Would Gordon play it? Would the others? (I hope this prompt works bro!) 🛂

Sadly it did not... I'm sorry benrey.

"Bubby was an experiment before he was a scientist, let alone a person so he wasn’t treated right at all." Please, give us the Bubby tube angst, I beg you. Elaborate on this. Bubby tube headcanons. Bubby tube angst. pleeeeeaaaaaaaaaseeeeeee

You really want this. You'd think the hint would get across that I don't want to talk about this.

My headcanons for bubby (and most of my headcanons for the other characters.) Come from the experiences of my friends and were told to me with a certain degree of confidence. They are aware of this. It's one of the reasons I'm so vague about certain topics, so I don't say something that will remind them about it.

In other words, you will not be getting "bubby tube angst" based around my headcanons. If you want tube angst please send a more specific prompt for it.

Bad Sad Req: gordon stim by hitting head, likes hitting with prosthesis. Others BIG worry n try n give him alternatives

Gordon doesn't hit himself to stim... usually... but he can and will literally pull out his own hair if he becomes too stressed.

Here's a dumb little prompt: Gordon, but he had the helmet on the entirety of Black Mesa, rips it off n Reveals the Helmet Nest of Hell and decides "You know what? This is the Science Tesm's issue, they can brush this mess out." Its also the really long, really curly hair too.

I can see benrey helping him, but I don't think bubby would. Coomer might help if asked but Tommy doesn't particularly like touching people so he'd probably decline.
