i don’t think that dr. coomer is actually a good guy, i think that it’s just his code making him be friendly and helpful because that is how he is supposed to be in the game. but sometimes it breaks and his true self shows, like his whole thing about “a world in your dreams” and “wanting to go there” and his self awareness obviously Getting to him, and all the clones attacking gordon. you can see throughout the series that coomer often shifts to a hostile temperament seemingly out of nowhere. additionally, i believe that dr coomer is just party just using gordon throughout the adventure just to get out of the game.

here’s the original note i made which maybe makes more sense. this is just one theory/headcanon out of the 1k+ word hlvrai note i have lmk if u wanna hear more

Random HLVRAI headcanon that I have in my brain (ft. my autism, but very reserved)

So HLVRAI takes place in 2020, so like. it’s very reasonable for the characters to have grown up with consoles and pc games so THIS MAKES SENSE TO ME !

Benrey grew up with playstation, Gordon with xbox, and they both definitely argue over which one is better

Forzen also grew up with playstation but he just went over to Benrey’s house and didn’t have a playstation at his own house .

Tommy and Coomer grew up with Nintendo I’m sure, but Tommy also used the Sega consoles because . why not . I love the Sega consoles, I think his favourite is the Dreamcast

Bubby was made in Black Mesa, but I think he still kinda “grew up” with PC games . Like the shitty ones that came with Windows XP (they’re not shitty idk why I said that . I love you Pinball)

Darnold also grew up with PC games ! But he had actual games rather than the ones built in to the OS. He probably collects old point and click games

hlvrai thoughts on my brain. i feel like coomer and benrey have some very similar Fears. i think they both don’t want The Video Game to end. but as for why? well for both of them it’s different

looking at coomer, it’s clear in his fight scene that he wants to escape the game; that he’s terrified there’s nothing beyond black mesa. he needs his life to have meaning and is horrified when he perceives it has none, at least not compared to gordon.

benrey constantly tries to get the group to head back and asks them to stop shooting at him not NECESSARILY because he’s at the Horrible Whims of the Game’s Code or anything, but because going forward would be literally advancing the plot. which is further to The End.

i feel like coomer and benrey could very reasonably share the same belief- one that coomer expresses in his ending speech (“and now i imagine you’ll turn [the video game off]. move on with your life.) coomers view of The Player has become quite optimistic, but throughout the speech he’s still not so transparently begging The Player to take the science team with them and not leave them here. and so benrey could easily not want the final battle to come to a close because he too believes that after the game ends, the player will move on

but UNlike coomer, i don’t think benrey wants to escape. i think he LIKES the story of the video game. i just think he wants to keep it going FOREVER. like he says in act 4- “i just want to play games with people, man”. he clearly ENJOYS antagonizing gordon and being a security guard, it’s fun for him, so that’s why i could never buy the Reluctant Antagonist Benrey idea. he always says gordon needs to calm down too so clearly he doesn’t take much stuff very seriously, which could definitely include his own sentience as an ai

so yea. i think both coomer and benrey don’t want the story to end, but coomer wants to escape the story and benrey wants to embody the story

#hlvrai #headcanon #dr coomer #benrey #does this make sense at all. idk #may those who accept their fate be granted happiness. may those who defy their fate be granted glory.

Bubby would pronably hate horror games let's be real

But on the flip side: having grown up I'm Black Mesa and then gone through resonance cascade, he could very well be COMPLETELY unphased.

I'd like to think he would attempt to be tough about it and then let out a high-pitch scream at the first jumpscare though.

Guys. Imagine with me.

Dr Coomer.

Okay, now give him flowers. In any way. Bouquet, floral print, flower crown, ect. Just picture him with flowers.

Now put him in a garden somewhere.

Yeah :)

#idk why but i headcanon really hard that Coomer likes flowers #in st au he actually has a large garden in the backyard (that even becomes somewhat plot relevant)#there are many reasons but honestly its just the Vibe for the most part #dr coomer #hlvrai #dimond speaks

Getting into HLVRAI again has made me change my opinion on who my favorite character is and I just think maybe the personality formed from sentientizing Soldier AI would get a little carried away with the violence(said lovingly)

whenever i gain interest in a fandom and find a certain character i use as my comfort character(whether they are down right horrible or not) i make an au of it and i take them and slap so much character development and design on them im pretty sure(at least i think) they could literally be classified as oc that were made inspired by the character.

i have no idea why i do this

i also have a list of my comfort characters, the ones i say goodbye to when i fell out of the fandom, and the new ones i say hello to when i get into a new fandom.

HALF LIFE VRAI (+gorgeous & og gordon) HEADCANONS IF YOU EVEN CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BENREY WOOO

during. the end, he had 2 extra eyes, one above his left eye one below his right eye, now he has scars where they laid, they’re faint but he. is autistic im sorry he’s too me to not be he had a tail during the end too faint freckles ^_^ he REALLY likes red meat he likes blue flavor, not blueberries, not blue raspberry, blue stubble YAYY specifically in end, benreys feet to knees and hands to elbows fade into rlly dark blue/black looks like he’s dying of illness but like. has never been sick disassociates very often very touch very very touchy polyamorous, exes with forzen & is now crushing on both Tommy & gordon orphaned, kinda lived on his own since he isn’t human, picked his own name doesn’t actually have brothers, he’s a loser breaths through his mouth esp when he’s comfortable weird but like imagine he’s cuddled up to someone and he just yeah

COOMER YAYYY

fat, idc i’m right

gender-fluid, transmasc & gay ^_^ old man yaoi with bubby YAYYY

cool little funky punching enhancement thingies

big ol’ doe brown eyes

brunette hair before he started graying

after the resonance cascade he retired, they deserve it

has nightmares over clones. a lot, a big lot

autistic, everyone knows the science team kinda is autistic,

going off the autistic thing, one of his vocal stims is hello gordon

loves talking, loves it so much, he loves just talking to people she likes

has a high score on punch out & that one punching game where you punch the punching bag to get evaluated on

the reason is divorced because he realized he was gay

hawaiian shirts FTW!!

(most of these are somewhat canon, holly (his va) headcanons him as transmasc, short and stocky, and 5’4!)

Bubbster

Intersex & bisexual (idc if gir hcs him as straight it’s my world now/pf)

if he didn’t live with Coomer after the resonance cascade, he’d probably just be a basement dweller and just sit in the corner and cry

Bionic legs :3

canonically test tube baby, he’s probably really freaked the fuck out over it & has had genuine panic attacks over being artificially made, only in front of coomer

literally always has epi-pens for coomer

naturally(?) ginger idk what you wanna consider it, he’s canonically like 6 but in my head he’s like 67, he’s been locked in black mesa for 67 years

blue eyes

has a leather jacket with a tiger on it he will wear just to do so

has made the science team watch scrubs.. twice

picks at skin as a stress tick

has tourettes

near blind

when he got his bionic heart he died so he will sometimes just be like “hey guys i’ve died before”

being put back in the tube after betraying gordon was one of the worst things he’s been through, it was terrifying

GORDON FEETMAN!!!

also fat

joshua exists but he was an accidental pregnancy (gordon seahorse father yayy)

ftm based off last hc, that’s just canon cuz i said so

joshua is like, 9 in my head so gordon had him at like 18

bisexual

has a crush on benrey (canon but yk)

mexican and african

curly ass hair, takes really good care of it, always smells nice

bilingual

blind in left eye, 25% prescription in right eye

feels guilty as fuck even when everyone would joke about him being the cause of the RC

also autistic

wayne did not dk him justice when he lost his hand, he was screaming so gutturally loud it was painful, he strained his voice so bad, the pain was so excruciatingly terrible

tommy genuinely was the only one he could trust after benrey & bubby turned their backs on him, and that sucked because his feelings for benrey before that point were getting to him

only was adamant about not being friends with benrey at the end because of the betrayal, he wanted to hate benrey

tommy is like his. comfort friend, he doesn’t have to worry about him.. he does but he always feels comfy around him

Tommy cool man

Autistic, ADHD, PTSD and OCD

G man species, half human

strawberry enthusiasts:3 (me too)

every flavor tic tac enthusiast, always give the science team tic tacs like all the time

not very good at games enjoys playing them though

very touchy for multiple reasons

Sunkist service dog for multiple things as well, helps with panic attacks, PTSD symptoms, anxiety attacks etc

Tommy doesn’t know how Sunkist was trained to do all this, he made her sk he just kinda accepts it for how she is, and loves her

compression hugs, likes being laid on top of, it’s comforting

looks scrawny but can like. genuinely pick up all the science team & benrey with ease

started collecting propeller hats after the RC

the reason he can read sweet voice is cuz g-man species

thinking about getting a cat, maine coon or norwegian forest cat, he likes big ass animals

Sunkist is LARGE like large as fuck for a golden Tommy made sure she was huge

milk enjoyer :3 drinks it with most of his meals

wears readers

ANGEL KISSES!! (moles or beauty marks whatever you wanna call them)

tooth gap :3

walks on tiptoes

Gorgeous

cuts his hair into a fringe, lets it grow out to shoulder length, then cuts it fringe, never ending cycle

beauty marks man

freckles too

nobody fucking knows his trauma

doesn’t understand why he can understand cicero?? he just.. can??

learned ASL as a kid

clearly has some form of mommy issues he will not touch on

wears solid colors, he doesn’t wear shirts with decals, or anything, a. he doesn’t like them. b. for ASL purpose, it’s recommended to wear light/dark clothes (light in his case) depending on your skin tone to MAKE it easier to read sign, usually in light pink

prefers skirts cuz.. they’re comfy, usually knee & ankle length.. sometimes he will wear mini skirts……. cuz he’s gross

actually hates head crabs.

would be a nudist if it was sociably acceptable

he’s a dog person, he wants a saint bernard

freeman YAYY

6’

beauty marks

patchy beard

has scars from his HEV suit

actually lost his hearing DUE to the RC, his mother was deaf so that’s why he knows ASL, it completely shot out his hearing

has always dressed nice

cat person

Alyx is like his daughter to him

i can’t decide if he’s trans or not

same situation with gorgeous, he wears solid colors for ASL purpose

him and cicero have yet to find a way to communicate

when he found out alyx learned ASL for her boyfriend (this is canon, was planned for episode 3) he was over the moon

enjoys IASIP (it’s always sunny in philadelphia)

scary when he’s pissed off

I have no way to prove this in canon other than this being true for his VA, but as far as my AUs are concerned I think Benrey would be a “friend to all children”

Despite being obviously Not Human to the scientists and his fellow security guards, none of them can deny that children adore him and he adores them back. If Black Mesa had ever allowed a “Bring Your Child to Work Day,” you’d better bet money that all the kiddos would follow behind Benrey like ducklings. The man isn’t doing anything other than stand guard and play on his PSP, but it’s clear the kids think he’s badass.

Benrey has never seen a baby before, he’s heard about them but he’s never seen one. He really wants to meet a baby, say hi, shake hands, teach them how to play PlayStation. You wouldn’t expect him to be gentle around anything, given how he acts around Black Mesa staff members that he doesn’t like (aka a LOT of them), but he would be so incredibly kind and gentle with babies.

#I sincerely apologize for possibly ooc Benrey headcanons I just really think he’d be great with kids #hlvrai benrey #hlvrai
