I am weak, I am a weak being, that’s it - thanks for coming to this ted talk.
( also praise be it melonsharks { look at their art - I compel you to look at it! } that started the hot Gordon summer thing, I’m now going to proceed to hide away - good bye ! )
I heard we’re doing hot gordon summer? well he’s definitely gonna sunburn if he doesn’t wake up
[ID: Digital art of Gordon Freeman, Benrey, and Joshua from HLVRAI in warm tones on a sandy beach with a few paw prints, footprints, and sandcastles in the background. Gordon is asleep, snoring, on his back with sunglasses on and long curly hair fanned out in a ponytail. He has brown skin and many visible stretch marks on his arms and stomach, rolls of fat, and scars, both from wounds and from top surgery. Joshua is burying him in sand, kneeling by his legs where a mermaid tail is taking shape. Joshua is smiling and wearing a red t-shirt with a sheriff’s star graphic and blue jean shorts. Benrey is sitting cross-legged, hesitantly patting the end of the mermaid tail, with the other hand cushioning his cheek with a bored expression. He has a backwards red and gold baseball cap, blue swim trunks, orange flip-flops, pale skin, short curly hair, fat rolls, and a large scar across his stomach. End ID.]
honestly the cryptid hunter au has still been living in my head since u first brought it up
its an au i dont have a lot down for but a while back i sketched this and then i colored it yesterday just to share with you, anon. theyre little refs for myself…
gordon is like actively a gay idiot who refuses to see benrey as anything other than an annoying hot guy (this is because benrey is so hot and gordon is gay.)
they dont want gordon to know they’re a powerful weird shapeshifting cryptid guy because um…the world is dangerous for things like benrey. even if gordon isnt really dangerous, just…passionate. benrey is like gaslighting gordon technically MDJHFFMJD but its all for comedy. they’re also in love with him btw.
benrey looks a little more human than i usually draw him but its on purpose. also gordon is in a tanktop because ummmmm. uhmnhm… i wont him.
hello hlvrai people. i would like to correct a misconception i’ve seen floating around and remind you all that wayne has spoken clearly about his opinion on nsfw in the fandom.
(source. maybe DNI w the post itself bc he’s expressed here he doesn’t want to be involved in fandom ~drama; be respectful of people’s boundaries)
tldr: it’s fine when it’s tagged properly and not sent to the crew; don’t attack people over it.
in addition to that, a couple months back during wayne’s Elden Ring playthrough he, the crew, and his mods in chat talked for at least ten minutes about their discomfort with certain HLVRAI fans– specifically those who compare the crew to their characters. as a group they mass-block people who do this. the crew has been very clear that they aren’t the characters and don’t want to be conflated with them. per wayne & co, their characters are not them.
tbh block nsfw if you want. it’s good to know where your personal boundaries are and curate your online experience accordingly. but quit spreading misinfo about the crew and for the love of god, don’t harass people who do make (tagged/warned! not in the main tag! consensual, adult, and otherwise harmless!) nsfw. come on.
ok, wonderful. just wanted to make sure we’re all on the same page and being mature, considerate, informed people in this little corner of the internet. happy pride!
