so hlvrai2 is a thing now apparently. pumped this out both as an outlet to the hype, and as a callback/tribute to all the hlvrai art i did in 2020-2021. (fun fact: all the green text in the back is a reference to text in my past hlvrai art.)
notes, details, and explanations for the background text under the cut (warning: it’s kinda long)
the passport has stamps from xen and chuck e. cheese. because honestly i’m so mad nobody ever adds passport stamps to hlvrai art i mean come on guys.
and yes, the listed sex on the passport just says ‘yes’. is this saying that benrey’s biological sex is yes, or is it saying that he has sex? yes.
I don’t really know how easy it is to tell, but the faded ripped stickers on benrey’s helmet are of the non-binary and mlm pride flags.
finally, the green text references, from left to right top to bottom:
“var = everything you ever hated” is a reference to a drawing of benrey with lyrics from the song ‘are you happy?’ by bo burnham (“you’re everything you ever hated, are you happy?”)
“// love me” is a reference to art i made for the y2kvr au, with lyrics from the song ‘stalker’s tango’ by autoheart (“love me, love me, love me, love me more than you possibly can”)
“I AM GOD” is a reference to the first drawing of benrey i ever made, a postcanon au drawing of benrey standing on a cabinet while gordon tells him to get down. i don’t know why i drew it it wasn’t funny.
“> his w gonna” is a reference to the last piece of hlvrai art i drew (before this) where i got too lazy to draw the background, so i found a picture on google of the xen boss battle, which had text on it saying “I knew this was gonna happen”, but the image cropping made the text say “his w gonna”. i got made fun of for about a week in the group chat for that.
“GORDON” is a reference to probably one of the most acceptable pieces of old hlvrai art i drew, which was based on an idea i had of ‘what if benrey killed gordon in the final boss battle’, in the art benrey is reaching for the camera while yelling gordon’s name. the concept was kinda stupid but the art was good for the time.
“what do we have here.jpg” is a reference to art i drew of benrey at xen, with lyrics from the song ‘snow’ by ricky montgomery (“skeletons, skeletons, what do we have here?”)
if you look through my post history, you can still find all of these old pieces (but i don’t recommend it. seriously what was i even DOING)
