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.

Benrey is a trans man but instead of transitioning normally he just ripped his tits off and morphed into a man lmao

I love girl Tommy and lesbo Frenrey alot :3
Also!!! 4 Boomer Duo I image Coomer has a lot of gender and Bubby is some kind of agender/nonbinary, but they don't label themselves with anything. They can be lesbians if they want to I give them permission.
Also yes I imagine Darnold makes some fucked up gender potions. Probably even somehow managed to invent edible hrt in the form of "Potion that Transes Your Gender". Girl/Boy Soda, if u will.

hlvrai gman (and general coolatta family) headcanons because i am terribly attached to him
he is definitely autistic that is a given to being part of the coolatta family tbh. tommy is practically on the opposite end of the autism spectrum and sometimes they have a hard time communicating but they care about each other and they find ways to work with it :)
his love languages are acts of service and quality time! he has a hard time verbalizing affection which ends up being misinterpreted as him being uncaring and emotionless but it is Very Much There!
this has absolutely no basis in hlvrai canon but i like to think he knows how to dance. not the waltz or ballet or anything elegant though. gman coolatta disco dances and he is a fucking Natural at it.
i also think that he's just as addicted to soda as tommy is but just doesn't wanna admit it. tommy wakes up in the middle of the night, goes to the kitchen for a nice refreshing sip of his favorite soda, and there is gman downing the last can of soda that remains . they never speak of this again
overall it's fun to think of gman as a guy who just so happens to be this nonhuman entity who comes across fucking terrifying but he's actually just very silly. his employers didn't intend for that to happen! they never expected that he would reach out and build a family but he does not care! he's happy with the life he's created for himself :)

Does Coomer stop calling Benrey various B-names as early as Act 2, when Holly realized that they were going with Benrey as his name instead of something new each time? Yes.
Does this stop me from making it a character trait? Absolutely fucking not, Dr. Coomer loves his dear friend Bust-a-Move 2

Random ass headcanon go!
HLVRAI!Gordon Freeman is half-Mexican and is a duel citizen of the USA and Mexico.
His middle name, Martinis, was actually a misspelling/mishearing of Martínez. The person who wrote the name thought his parents had said Martinis and was just like “weird choice but okay” and now he’s stuck with it.
Gordon also knows Spanish very well, having learned from his mother naturally as he grew up. (He’s basically fluent but he’s a bit rusty)

HLVRAI Headcanon: The clones and tube babies are grown in Powerade, and that's why Bubby doesn't like Powerade. He's associated it with negative experiences.

boomer brainrot strong? do you have any headcanons you'd be willing to share...
*rubs hands together like a mad scientist* Oh I do...
Bubby and Coomer are around the same age, though Bubby has not been out of his tube for long.
Bubby just is his name.
Bubby was supposed to be both the ultimate lifeform and a brilliant scientist, but was not allowed out of the tube until he proved himself as smart as they wanted him to be
This resulted in him being such a hothead about himself
Black Mesa's higher-ups didn't really see him as a person, either.
Dr Coomer has known Bubby since his 30's, and was always the most patient and encouraging of him.
The day Bubby was released, Coomer was there.
Coomer managed to convince everyone else that in order to really learn, Bubby had to be hands-on. This is how he finally was released
This is also true, he learns better with his hands.
Dr Coomer's parents were volunteers of an experiment, and so he has Xen DNA in his system. Whether he knows is unclear.
Coomer is fluent in Sweet Voice (how Gordon never saw that is a mystery), and teaches Bubby how to read it as well
Once everyone is out of Black Mesa, they all have to bunk at Tommy's house since the Science Team had all lived in dorms inside the building.
While there, everyone steadily grows closer to each other.
Dr Coomer basically adopts everyone else. Bubby becomes their "disgruntled" grandpa.
He actually cares a great deal about everyone else, but he struggles with showing it.
Once introduced to video games, Bubby adores them. Because of this, Dr Coomer slowly finds himself enjoying them as well.
Dr Coomer's robotic limbs are cold when he's not moving. Bubby loves that about him.
Coomer throws science out of his life as much as he can, only engaging in it when he needs to.
Bubby, however, still loves science. He finds himself trying to DIY technology and inventing things.
When Bubby does finally psych himself up enough to apologize to Gordon about the whole betrayal thing, Dr Coomer is right there beside him
Dr Coomer winds up introducing Bubby to surface life in general.
Bubby finds he likes the ocean, too.
Dr Coomer much prefers the wilderness, while Bubby prefers open spaces to see the stars
They start dating once they're on the surface together
Their relationship is very healthy. They do argue every now and then, but it's usually never serious.
If it is serious, Dr Coomer has patience enough for the both of them to figure it out
Part of Dr Coomer's arc continues after Black Mesa. He suddenly wonders, if this really IS a video game, is that why he loves ropes so much? Was he supposed to die to one???
Bubby is able to calm him down, telling him that that just means Coomer is one smart sonuvagun to avoid that for so long.
You will often find both of them outside, usually on a park bench somewhere.

HLVRAI headcanons I've come up with (feat. one my archnemesis came up with that I stole. You know who you are (lovingly).
Benry can digest literally anything. Any-thing. This also means that his stomach acids are so volatile that god forbid he ever hack up any bile because it will melt through the floors, and through people. Thankfully it's nigh impossible to make that dude feel nauseous. He could eat drywall every day and he'd be fine.
Tommy made temporary tattoos of the Wikipedia logo that the entire Science Team are prone to wearing sometimes. By temporary, I mean "they don't come off for absolute ages unless you use industrial cleaner on your skin".
Once out of Black Mesa, Bubby uses his car powers to run over people he doesn't like. Like the dude at Kroger who told him that they don't have any rocket fuel for sale. This has surprisingly not killed anyone yet. Emphasis on the yet.
Even outside of Black Mesa, Gordon wears the HEV suit most of the time, because it protects him from dangers, and makes him feel slightly safer existing in the general vicinity of the rest of the team. He has been banned from at least 1 public library for being too loud because of this, as the HEV suit is loud as fuck in a quiet library every time he moves.
Benry adores cool ranch doritos and riots every time the Science Team's shared wreck of a house runs out of said doritos. Now there's an emergency bag of doritos tucked under Gordon's bed at all times in case of Benry emergency.
The Science Team hosts film nights when they're all living together. They can never agree on one singular film, so multiple are always watched each Friday. Viewings range from the entire Nightmare On Elm Street series to Goat Story 2. They have to replace the TV once after Dr. Coomer decks it too hard when he takes personal offense to a movie's ending.
The fridge of their shared home is constantly full of Darnold's latest creations. None of them are properly labelled, so it's kind of a "fuck around and find out" situation. Drink a bottle of green liquid, and it might be lime soda, three kinds of alcohol mixed with mint liqueur, or a potion that makes you transform into a large primordial lizard. Fun!

What r your dr. Coomer hcs ??
I never really thought about headcanons for dr. Coomer but let me try!!
🍃 I feel like he would literally only have hawaiian shirts and maybe some colorful sweaters in his closet
🐸 Totally doesnt have any sense of fashion
🍃 He reads a lot of books in free time, idk why hes just an old man!
🐸 He wears sandals with socks👍👍
🍃 I think he and Tommy wear funky matching hairclips together (so silly!!)

Hot take: Benrey's response to being picked up is going limp like a ferret (in a good way)
Man's getting carried around like a slinky and he loves it.

Hc Benry cant listen to music, cause hes used to sweet voice where individual tones = like specific meanings and feels and stuff
so the alot of sounds of music get really overwhelming super easily
the only music he can somewhat stand are certain videogame soundtracks

how would gordon and benry reaction to them being friends/imaginary friends
Benrey would probably say something nonchalant about the situation like, "Oh yeah. heh. I remember that. Good times..."
Meanwhile, Gordon, on the other hand, is trying to retain his composure. Restraining himself from yelling and possibly choking Benrey, as Joshua is present.
He just has a lot of emotion regarding this situation.

autistic coolatta family headcanons with gman being mostly non-expressive and by contrast tommy being super expressive is good
BUT
i like the idea of tommy being super expressive to mask the fact that he by default isn't very expressive, even when he's feeling strong emotions about something, which he often does. this has been misinterpreted enough times as him being uncaring, or apathetic, and at some point he just got tired of it. "performing" emotions for people leaves him tired at best, and terribly overwhelmed at worst- but he's used to it now; and besides, he prefers that over being seen as emotionless and uncaring.
gman's situation is something of an inverse of tommy's. his higherups aren't exactly quiet about the fact that they see feelings as a weakness, and to please them he hides his emotions behind a cool, unfeeling mask. he isn't supposed to feel, but since he can't manage that, at least he can hide what he feels- this is what he tells himself. years of internalizing this sentiment, brushing pent-up emotions under the rug and repressing stims means he now finds it difficult to express the slightest of feelings, even in the safest of environments with the safest of people (of course, only he knows the truth: nowhere and nobody is safe with the employers overseeing everything he does.)

i told my friend that people spell benrey like that but also like benry, and since it’s benry on the passport, they said that what if benrey grew up spelling his name with the second e and just never acknowledged that it’s legally not actually there, and i love that actually i’m stealing that headcanon
