I fully believe that Tommy and Gordon live together and Benrey just...lives in their walls. Like Tommy and Gordon will be having a tender moment together just being in love and Benrey will walk in and be like "That's Hella gay."

hello everyone welcome to i talk about benrey for a minute here

as someone who’s watched the entirety of hlvrai at least 6 times, the full vods at least 3, and the cast commentary hovering somewhere around 10, i consider myself to be pretty well-versed in the series. i also kin benrey. this is probably important to my perception of him.

the series is about self-aware AI. its in the title! so it seems obvious enough to me that Benrey was programmed to be the final boss. he was SUPPOSED to be a silly character that antagonizes the protag and throws off the group dynamic, and then it’s a big reveal and you get to beat up this guy that was mean to you!

but he doesnt wanna. hes self aware.

Of all the characters, i think Bubby and Tommy are the most “powerful” in that they were able to break their characters the most. Tommy is a bit of a wild card because he doesn’t usually act like an AI. I view him as the “character you’re supposed to protect” in the party, but somewhere along the way he, too, became self-aware and figured out how to handle his own. I think that’s where the age thing comes in. He was programmed to be a 5-year-old that you’re trying to get out of this dangerous facility! but he didn’t want to be a 5-year-old, he’s smarter than that, he’s capable! so he changed it. Him being the son of Gman also probably helped with him being able to just do that.

I take Bubby and Dr. Coomer as both being tutorial characters. Dr. Coomer is a bit broken, but he still does his best to teach you about things. I think he’s the tutorial NPC that goes “watch out for [x]” and “we can use ropes to cross big pits!” and “we should call them Peeper Puppies!” while Bubby was supposed to be the “here’s how you shoot a gun”

Like, Dr. Coomer does the knowledge about the world, and Bubby does the action. for the video game. And Bubby is supposed to be kinda cold to you, because the action-tutorial NPCs tend to be. Like “what you cant even hold your own? tch, guess ill have to teach you.” But Bubby doesn’t do that. He doesn’t WANT to play the game, he wants to go back home. He liked it before the game was switched on. So he doesn’t teach Gordon shit and just tries to speedrun so the player will leave and he can go back home.

one little scene that stood out to me so much was when the crew is sitting around in a circle with the pigeons. not outside, the other scene with them sitting in a circle and there’s pigeons. why are there 2 of those.

anyways, Benrey is just staring at this pigeon behind Gordon, and singing to it, calmly. And then there’s a loud beep that sounds like the vox, and definitely doesnt come from Benrey. and he suddenly gets up and shoots the pigeon. That reads SO HARD like he was being too soft with the game world, so it pushed him to do something evil randomly. Like a little villain reboot.

Almost everything he does to antagonize Gordon can be read as genuine confusion. He kills random NPCs because he knows theyre not important, and that they can’t feel anything, and that they’ll only slow the team’s progress. And what makes Gordon so mad at him is how often Benrey says Gordon shouldnt be allowed in here. I take that as a similar stance to Bubby. Benrey doesn’t want to be the villain. He doesn’t want the player to progress and make him. That gets more obvious the closer we get to the end, and most people tend to notice it in the last scenes before Xen, where he’s suggesting they go all the way back, and basically begging the player to stop here, at least for a little while.

its really sad, honestly. but i take the cast commentary bits as canon. Which makes it adorable when Benrey comes back into the movie theatre with Gordon and we get

“I wonder what will happen. I bet you know what happens!”

“I win!!!”

He did win. He got to get past being the final boss. He got to join the epilogue. I think, he probably wasn’t supposed to be able to. But these guys broke the game enough that he could. Isn’t that sweet? Isn’t that a nice ending for him? I think he deserves it.

Wayne says he acts like “he isn’t aware unless he’s being spoken to” and I think that fits really well. Like, sometimes his actions are coded into his behavior, so he does them without realizing. And then the player interacting with him (which is the premise of the self-awareness) forces him to actually look at what he did, and sometimes he has no idea how to explain it. Leading to his “huh?”

listen to me. are you listening. i need you to hear this. i need more people to understand benrey. and how much i love him. hes trapped in the narrative, doomed by it to be the villain. but he doesn’t want to be. he clearly cares about the crew in his own silly goofy way. he doesn’t want to fight them. i wrote down everything he said in the finale, and he only says 5 outright malicious lines, all of which are directly after an unnatural pause, like he’s being rebooted again. Some important lines: “I knew this was gonna happen,”

“Stop shooting at me, I have to shoot back, I don’t wanna do that,”

“I didn’t have a big plan, I was supposed to be nice, but you forced me to be BAD so I’m gonna be BAD… friend.” the small, quiet “friend” there gets me every time. even after everything, even after his nature is revealed, he wants to believe theyre still friends.

“Don’t go in there, please… I don’t like that room." The amount of times he sounds so genuinely sad when asking them to stop, or even just saying “bro..” like he’s mourning the friendship they could’ve had. The amount of times he sounds genuinely pained when he’s glitching out and stretching across the screen.

And his last words, said childishly of course, but,

“This isn’t fair.”

Actually. FUCK YOU if you only care about BENREY yeah i know who you are. YOU TREAT GORDON!!! like just some bland ass white boy and just a stepping stool for your benrey x reader (gordon) fic. I dont like you.

I dont like you if you treat tommy coomer bubby like shit and i dont like you if you make gordon bland. You are a red flag and i wish you never touch female characters cause ive seen what yall do to gordon's ex and everytime i meet a misogynist hlvrai fan i distance myself from the fandom more.

Hlvrai is more than frenrey and more than benrey and yall suck.

hlvrai x tma au thoughts

ive seen people talking about this a little . and as such i writ down some things .... if u have any questions dont be afriad to send me an ask

- everybody is marked by/is already an entity - coomer and bubby are somewhat younger than they are in the canon series on the basis that it would not make sense for seniors to be working at the magnus institute

- gordon gets hired at the magnus institute after his job as a scientist goes tits up and he needs SOME way to pay for his and his childs living . he becomes a statement reader and helps out on artifact storage - tommy's the feel-good boss , the only reason why gordon got hired was because he wants as much help with the institute that he can get - benreys a janitor. - because of his strengh coomer does research into locations where statements are set , he breaks in usually - forzen researches people and what happened to them after giving in statements , because of his past in the military and the police force its easy for him to do - bubby and darnold are both statement readers, but bubby is a lot more skeptical than darnold is - gman is an avatar of the distortion , however , he still retains some shreds of his humanity. because of it , he comes to visit tommy sometimes :-)

- gordon is either marked by the slaughter or the eye - tommy is marked by the distortion - benrey's an avatar of the stranger - coomer's marked by the hunt and the vast , though he ends up becoming an avatar of the hunt - bubby's an avatar of the desolation - darnold's marked by the corruption and the web(??) - forzen's marked by the web , and later becomes an avatar of it

- in this au , forzen and benrey are brothers - bubby and coomer are married ; coomer isn't aware of the fact that bubby's an avatar of the desolation , nor is he aware of what avatars really are - benrey and tommy are best friends in this au , tommy doesnt get affected by things to do with the uncanny valley so it was easy for him and tommy to make friends - gordon has INCREDIBLY complicated feelings about benrey . he also doesnt get affected by uncanny things but he does think that he's "insufferable" (he's like jon with martin grahhh)

Hlvrai x Pokémon Stuff?

Mainly just thoughts on what each type or special gimmick each character would use.

Gordon: Steel, Normal, or Ground

When I think of pre-handless gordon I think Normal but when I think of gun-hand I think Steel. I’m biased on Ground bc I think it would be very cool if Gordon had a Mudsdale. THEY EVEN HAVE THE SAME COLORS GOING ON AND JOSH WOULD LOVE IT-

On terms of a game gimmick I don’t see him using anything except maybe z-moves? He’d likely just brute everything though bc he doesn’t think he needs the “extra help” 🙄

-

Tommy: Electric

Fast and Yellow 👍 I wish I could give him more but it’s the most fitting for him next to possibly fairy.

From what I recall from Pokémon lore is that mega evolution is formed from strong bonds so I find it most fitting for him. (I think the mega stone would be on his hat or something skfhajajkakaka) I could also see him having one pseudo legendary on his team 🤷‍♀️ just one. Not a real legendary.

-

Dr. Coomer: Fighting!

Very fitting for the violent old guy! and there is a boxing Pokémon already so it feels like it’s meant to be. A possible second contender is Steel to go with the whole fact that most of his body is replaced by robotic parts but otherwise I feel fighting is most appropriate.

Z-Moves power up a Pokémon and that’s what I feel he would do just before fighting a strong opponent (similarly to how he becomes super beefy before fighting ben in the last act.)

-

Bubby: Fire AND Psychic

Mainly this has to do with his canonical pyrokinesis, but also with the “brain & brawn” double battle trainers (*cough cough* psychic and fighting = BOOMER)

He’d have psychic Pokémon with Fire-tera typing or the other way around. Double perks. Also maybe some man made Pokémon like Porygon.

-

Forzen: Dragon or Ghost

Dragon (bc he thinks they look cool) or Ghost (bc they help with quick getaways) either way he probably thinks they both look cool.

No gimmick but I’d see him using moves like protect a lot to piss ppl off.

-

Darnold: Fairy, Poison, or Flying

When I think of Darnold I think of powerful whimsy that isn’t taken seriously and to that I think Fairy. Poison is more so to the not-so-pleasant side effects of his potions. Flying is just for the gag of him rocketing the hell out of there. Otherwise I think Fairy is the most fitting.

Once again no gimmick bc he’s more like Arven where he wants to make fun things for his Pokémon than actually battling.

-

Benrey: Dark, Ghost, or Bug

I think you can all guess why Dark (ha ha dark=bad, evil, and everything awful ha ha haaaaa) but more so to the perception bc he has dark Pokémon makes ppl (specifically Gordon) perceive him as so. Ghost is more to the whole clipping and not-being-able-to-die-normally thing as well as the fact he’d definitely favor Gengar come on. Bug is bc I think he’d like bugs. Little creachers >:))

Gigantamax is so definitely his favorite (giant strong and a great cool- like him in the last act!) but I also think he’d pull a second team of ultra-beasts in a last ditch attempt bc, like him “not being human” ultra beasts aren’t really Pokémon. Some deep relatability.

-

G-Man: Psychic or Dark:

Once again that thing about perception. Maybe also ice? Cold exterior and all that.

Only character to whisk out actual mythical or legendary Pokémon for battle. How did he get them? Dw they’re good friends stop asking so many questions.

-

As for an extra Josh would only have baby Pokémon. Like- three bc technically they’re Gordon’s Pokémon and also he doesn’t want Josh running around with a whole team. (Maybe Rock types to match with Gordon if he has ground but I’d see him with Bug types too.)

If there’s anything anyone wants to add just throw it in my inbox bc Pokémon is my secondary focus in my brain for the month.
