#i was thinkin maybe benrey is the last one the science team meets

[bonemoji]

TALKING ABT HLVRAI FNV THOUGHTS bc i TRIED to put them in da art post tags but they got messed up cuz i did it on desktop so im doing it again here

#SO. UGH gordon still has a physics degree im sure itd be possible #and he was born in the brotherhood of steel :] he doesnt live there currently though he moved out bc he wasnt rlly devoted to the cause or w #hatever #i was thinkin maybe benrey is the last one the science team meets #like they were all going to the strip together bc ofc they were theres like 3 seperate casinos and they meet benrey! and r like oh this guy #is not like the other securitrons! and he uhh joins them :] #im not sure about tommy yet but im considering making him a follower of the apocalypse #like dedicated to keeping people safe from dangerous inhumane technology? extremely vague connection to the osha guidelines #i want darnold to sell guns i think maybe he works for the gun runners? #OOH MAYBE gordon gets like a cool gauntlet from darnold #idk what to do abt gman i dont want him to be like an antagonist but i do want him to be in a position of Power yknow #i dont thjnk hed be a follower i dont think gman cares about prewar technology like whatever happens to the other factions happens #forzens here too i guess hes just in the ncr being a lame bootlicker #rambling #i mean. ok i have a lot of thoughts about the ncr i think that maybe there Should be some sort of defence against groups like the legion but #the ncr is fuckin corrupt #like the shit with the powder gangers was so fucked up! #so like uh definitely the ncr in universe has a bit more value than real life army so its a Little less lame and stupid but. still pretty la #me and stupid #and if ur on good terms with the ncr everyones like ‘its nice to see a friend of our government’ like just bc the ncr is the best group to s #ide with doesnt mean that i dont steal ammo from them every opportunity i get #anyway forzen is rhe last member of the ncr #fnvvrai

thinkin’ about the thingvrai au and when the rest of the science team first meet thingrey when they’re all back in the states. at first i was gonna have them not find out about thingrey until after thingrey’d gotten enough biomass back to take a human shape, but then i thought, what if one day when they were all hanging out at gordon’s, one of the others manages to discover base-form thingrey? thingrey accidentally comes out of his current hiding spot at just the wrong time, and maybe bubby catches direct sight of him and oh my god what the fuck is that!?’s about it, getting EVERYbody’s attention, and then gordon has to jump in and grab the lil guy out of danger. and then he’s got a lot of explaining to do, ha ha. they’d both been hoping to save the introductions for until thingrey could introduce himself, but whoops, not an option anymore! now gordon’s gotta do the talking for him. he relays to the team what thingrey had told him back in antarctica, explains the staged final fight, says how thingrey straight-up saved his life instead of assimilating him when he had the perfect opportunity to (and that that wasn’t even the first time thingrey’d had a chance to kill gordon, either). gordon of course gets an accusation of being a thing and he’s just “You want me to do the fucking blood test? ‘Cause I’ll do the fucking blood test if the fillings in my teeth aren’t enough proof that I’m really me.” “Sheesh, okay, calm down.” eventually after enough evidence is provided and considered, the science team come around. bubby’s the last to admit it, and still says “I’m still keeping an eye on you, you little bastard.”, but he also can’t help but feel a little pang of sympathy for thingrey after hearing about his origins as a not exactly well treated experiment. bubby wasn’t made in a lab in this AU, but he was still forced into being a lab rat at black mesa due to his contract with them. the “injecting mass information into the brain via knowledge tubes” experiments weren’t exactly... pleasant. after this, thingrey gets invited to the team’s group chat, which he’s able to join in on by typing on gordon’s phone with his lil’ grasper tendrils. Gordon: Hang on, you benrybenrybenrybe: me Gordon: You could’ve just explained everything to them yourself through text! benrybenrybenrybe: ohhhhh shit u right. ha ha whoops Bubby: Oh my god, you type like how you spoke as Forzen. Is that seriously just how you talk? benrybenrybenrybe: yeah? Bubby: I can’t believe it. I finally get to speak to an alien life form, just to find out he talks like a god damn “gamer bro.” And to think I actually dreamed of this moment since I was a boy... Another one of those “never meet your heroes” situations, I guess. benrybenrybenrybe: MEAN to me ::8( Gordon: What is that emote even supposed to be? benrybenrybenrybe: uh, my face? duh benrybenrybenrybe: i mean it’s got the wrong kinda mouth but you can’t really do a frowny face with a mouth that opens up in five ways. got my eyes tho. Bubby: I thought the 8 was a nose, and you were trying to make a fucked up pig. benrybenrybenrybe: BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB Gordon: Benrey do NOT spit balls on my phone screen I swear to GOD
