Brute my beloved!!!

So i made a goofy video, nothing wrong with that, it was fun too

However, it was one of my favorite ao3 authors and the owner of a server

They saw it, choked on air and i almost killed them

Guys, i almost killed my favorite ao3 author, TvT

Beth and Christian completely cracking up in the Leverage Redemption season 1 gag reel.

akechi’s corpseisms are so enthralling to me

Two Anarchs down.

what’s up! i was a guest artist on @scienceteamzine and here are the two illustrations i made for the zine - my main piece, and art for the back cover. as you can see, they both largely focus on gordon and his life in both canons - with a significant inclusion of joshua!

And as you stumble through your last crusade, Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays? And as the swarming calls, we lay in the foundations—

Hey! I was the first corpse feeder! Where's my hate mob? Lmao

you're corpse anon, you're first corpse guy, but yall will have to duke it out fer coolest corpse mf probably

Ok ok ok I have been leaning towards Nona is Alecto for a while now, because I think the clues and dots that tazmuir has left for us pretty strongly lead that way (and I don’t think she’s the kind of writer who would see us all picking up on the foreshadowing she’s laying down and then change it so there’s a “twist”). But also I am a big Nona is Alecto truther because i really want the following events to transpire: John, now knowing that Gideon exists and grew up with Harrow, now might lend a little more credence to Harrows confession to him that she opened the tomb, and will go there himself (probably with ianthes) to see & will find that yes it is open, but hey look actually it’s Harrow in Alecto’s body!! Freaky Friday body swapping comedy ensues 😂 (and of course, there is still a third body in play for this comedy, because Our Girl Gideon is still out there presumably with BoE).

I've been thinking about that too!! Like, now he knows that Harrow could have opened the Tomb, is he going to go and check? Oh man, but what would he even do if he found the Tomb opened, the Body still there, and then woke her up to find out.... it's Harrow?? What the fuck?? But if Harrow is here.... and the Tomb has been open for years.... where is Alecto? (Jump cut to Nona trying to eat french fries right out of the fryer while Camilla smacks her hands)

And poor Harrow is so totally out of the loop. The last thing she knew, her sibling lyctors were preparing to fight Number Seven while she quietly ceded her body to whatever was occupying it in the hope that it was Gideon. She missed Mercy's murder, Augustine's gambit, the whole explanation about perfect lyctorhood and Alecto's relationship with John. She knows nothing, and she's back on the Ninth occupying the body she's been worshiping for almost half her life. John could tell her anything had happened while she was out, and she'd believe him.

If we wanted to get really freaky, this is when Anastasia would show up possessing Pelleamena's corpse. And what's that?? Wake's skeleton with the steel chair!

new thing to be self-conscious about 🥲: willow's roommate, who is an esthetician/dermatologist/make-up artist/etc etc yadda yadda, randomly telling me i have light skin with a very olive undertone, which makes me look nice in sun/warm lights, but that i look like "corpsey" in any other conditions

Every time I see the concept art for corpsey I get reminded that we live in a cruel and unjust world. I still love you though my bootleg Skull knight from Berserk.

Since my laptop can run it on high settings but the full game won't be out on Mac for a while, I figured I'd give early access a try. And oh man, so far it looks like this game will be everything I wanted, from oldschool RPG nostalgia to bringing one of my favourite Planescape races into the spotlight to all that pure, unhinged, hilarious gremliness you can witness. Or commit.

11/10 truly game of the year material.

my piece for the zine was specifically about the dissonance of gordon’s memories of half life canon vs the reinterpretation created by hlvrai - and his subtle identity crisis as a result of it. i put so much detail into the mirrors and their symbolism to represent this theme, but a significant chunk of the details are covered up by gordon... so here’s what the mirrors look like without the filters, and without gordon blocking them. with commentary on their meaning:

the first mirror is the reflection of hlvrai’s canon - the unique cast, and their unique experiences... but with a subtle hint of something else, more horrifying bleeding in - the metatext regarding the universe as a video game and how it effects coomer in particular, and the continued dissonance of the canons - represented by father grigori’s dirty sneakers. father grigori being one of the two hl2 characters that had a brief, if almost unnoticeable, cameo in hlvrai.

the second mirror is the reflection of who gordon is... or who he isn’t? after all, gordon never agrees with anyone’s claims of what must be true of reality in hlvrai. his perception of himself and the perception others have of him must be inherently in-congruent as a result - because they are of two completely different minds about their reality. of course, representing that visually is a challenge conceptually? so, i used a mixture of other gordon interpretations in the fractured glass to represent this idea, in addition to the likeness of wayne himself. after all, technically the media res of hlvrai is that wayne is playing half life vr... while also portraying gordon as a character separate from himself. so who is gordon freeman, really?

and the third mirror... for the most part is the reflection of the broken code and original half life universe, and how it’d been jumbled up to create hlvrai as it is recognized - such as t-posing barney being the other hl1/hl2 character that appears completely intact in hlvrai, aside from the uncontrollable t-posing. of course, the rest was actually largely headcanon on my part - various characters and their codes and their models getting switched around and swapped and changing throughout the franchise and within hlvrai specifically; like gina for instance being the basis of coomer, i think, since they are both the tutorial character - and once i ran out of characters i felt actually conveyed this theme well, i decided to utilize the remaining fracture space by drawing g-man’s suit, hlvrai’s pikachu cameo, in addition to alyx from both wayne’s original hl:a stream and the gnome edition stream of hl:a (and how she is connected to hlvrai through those two streams and through wayne’s hl2vr stream which served as the prototype to hlvrai)
