okay here you guys go here is the result of me putting my highest highest interests into a mixing pot for my own self indulgence and serving it as a meal to you. this is kinda just to get the concept out there but if you guys like it let me know I might make more content for it!! (if I did do anything with it I'd probably do ask blog format storytelling because y2kvr is one of my greatest inspirations and it informs a lot of my ideas for this au)
presenting:
myProfessor: Your new desktop pal!
myProfessor is ready to become your new virtual assistant, tutor, and friend!
-Use his essay-assistance features for help with spelling, punctuation, grammar, and avoiding plagiarism!
-Learn something new every day with his fun fact feature!
-Ask him to tell you a joke!
-Sit back and relax as he manages your emails and downloads and helps you navigate the web!
All of this FREE to download NOW!
At the expense of a few potentially unwanted programs, a bit of malware, and no peace ever again.
Premise: Ryan Bergara downloads myProfessor, a helpful virtual assistant... ish. This program is unfortunately a dropper for several PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) and malicious programs ranging from annoying to downright sinister. Also the programs are a little bit sentient like a little bit don't worry about it.
Attempts to get an antivirus and rid himself of these programs is... Unsuccessful. Hey who knew downloading supposed free antivirus programs from untrustworthy sources is how you get trojan horses and such on your computer hahaha ha.
Our major players:
myProfessor (aliases: Professor): Virtual Assistant, Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), Trojan (Persistent Dropper)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(inspirations: Clippit, BonziBuddy)
myProfessor, while not actively malicious software, acts as both a dropper for other malware and is generally annoying on a user experience level. His daily "fun facts" are closer to lectures, detailing sometimes horrific historical events in excessive detail; he routinely blocks important parts of the screen at a rate that comes off as intentional; and while he CAN be helpful, he and the programs that come with him are a nightmare to remove, with files scattered across the system and self-healing capabilities.
DevSec AntiVirus (aliases: Devkit, Devware): Trojan (Persistent Dropper), Rootkit (Kernel-mode)
Tumblr media
(inspirations: BakaSoftware, ZeroAccess)
Advertised as a free antivirus/antimalware, DevSec is unfortunately exactly what it claims to protect against. Upon installation and launch, DevSec buries and cloaks itself in the Windows kernel and infects the computer with other malicious software (particularly serving as a host/dropper for the Genie and Asmodeus viruses).
Asmodeus (aliases: DevHelper): Virus
As part of DevSec's payload, the Asmodeus virus is introduced to the system. It immediately begins infecting files on the computer, specifically targeting self-healing files associated with the myProfessor program (ie parts of the program or its associated programs meant to detect if parts of myProfessor is removed and reinstate them). Once it infects all known self-healing files, it triggers logic in the Genie virus for it to begin its payload.
Genie (aliases: ProfeSeek): Virus
(inspirations: Reaper)
As part of DevSec's payload, the Genie virus is introduced to the system, working seemingly in tandem with the Asmodeus virus. The Genie virus, as it infects files, will remove any files it recognizes as part of the myProfessor program or associated with it (ie, the malware it acts as a dropper for). Because of the earlier work of the Asmodeus virus, Genie is able to fully remove myProfessor and all associated programs, which seems to be its primary payload.
Also to be added in the au once I have the time to put more thought into them/we get the rest of puppet history season 5: All the puppet musical guests (ALL of them... pray for me), NotProfessor
The stuff above may also be subject to change depending on how the rest of s5 plays out and if I learn more computer stuff that happens to inspires changes! All content will be tagged with #puppetware including this post!
Feel free to ask any questions (either on this or shoot me an ask, inbox is open) and lmk if you like it!! If not don't feel bad I am content enough sharing this as an act of pure self indulgence this stuff makes me happy :]]

Maybe you should slow down on the gifs and images, Tommy. H4rv3y is new here and is not used to this yet...
Tumblr media
“I’m sorry, Mis-Mister H4rv3y...”
Tumblr media
“That’s okay, Tommy. It’s not your fault since I don’t know how I got here...”
Tumblr media
“Maybe I should check for you viruses then...”
Tumblr media
“Firewall, can you do a diagnostics check on H4rv3y?”
Tumblr media
“ Checking… Hmmmmm… ”
Tumblr media
“ All clear. No signs of viruses on this new AI.”

Gordy, hand me the disc, if you would.
Gordon hands Spork the Y2KVR disc, and they slide it in.
Upon booting up the system, a desktop assistant will be there to guide you. Like that Clippy thing, only far more intelligent!

Hello, Gordon! You’re saying we’ve been turned into tiny desktop buddies? Well that sounds- Hello, Gordon!
Yes I’m still doing these! Our lovely little desktop assistant was next on the list! Hopefully soon he’ll have the firewall to keep him company!
[Download for Mac] [Download for Windows]
(Some of the animations don’t work on Mac, but everything should be how it’s supposed to be on the Windows version! Additional information on how to activate the shimeji if it doesn’t work for you on Windows is in the read more. If you downloaded Gordon earlier and some animations aren’t working properly, he has an updated version as well!)
Y2KVR AU belongs to @year2000electronics!!!
[Gordon] [Coomer] [Bubby] [Tommy] [Forzen] [Darnold] [GMan] [Benrey]
If you tried to open the shimeji on Windows and it didn’t work, here are some steps I found helpful!
1. Make sure you have java downloaded to the most recent version
2. Go to the main folder window where all of the files and folders are visible
3. Hold shift and right click in an empty area in the window
4. Click “Open a PowerShell Window here”
5. Wait for the first line to appear, and then type “java -jar Shimeji-ee.jar” and hit enter
6. The shimeji should start up! You’ll have to keep the coded window open for the shimeji to stay open but everything should start working properly!
If you have any issues please message me and I’ll do my best to find a fix for you!

restrictor spork!! yes i am making an au for y2kvr, none of you can stop me >:3c
their design came pretty easily to me and honestly i’m happy with it!! of course they’re also kitted out in red instead of g-man’s cyan bc of course i have to give spork their signature color--
next up is the messenger, coomer! then i’ll have to work a little more on the other’s designs, but user forzen will probably be next!!
the original au is at @y2kvr!! if you like hlvrai and haven’t read it then i HIGHLY suggest you do, it’s an absolute masterpiece and i promise you’ll love spork--
( Messenger Coomer | User Forzen | Operator G-Man and Desktop Assistant Tommy | Browsing Buddies Joshua and Gordon  | Firewall Benrey )

whats y2kvr? i'm guessing hlvrai au cause of benrey but
oh boy get ready for my infodumping *ahem* Y2KVR is an alternate universe tumblrblog of ‘Half Life but the AI is Self Aware’ in which almost all of the main characters take place in a computer as virtual desktop assistants, each with their own tasks and assisting based on their personality and the various things they’ve done before, such as Benry as The Messenger, Coomer as The Assistant, Forzen as The Musician, and so on. The main protagonist, Gordon Freeman, gets trapped inside of the computer memory-free and tries to go through the digital hemisphere to find his way out with the assistance of the assistants, going so far to even go to the internet to ask for help, with the asks, the browser of the computer, and Tommy, the Explorer within the internet, whilst Benrey tries to deliver a special mysterious letter to Gordon and Gordon tries to remember his life before his caging. The au blog sets itself forward and sets itself within it’s theme with it’s writing, with various 90s and Y2K music and pop culture references, computer and technology references, and even WayneradioTV references and obscure HLVRAI facts. The writing itself is also similarly structured to HLVRAI’s, keeping the villain in the story and big problems that usually stories set out first anonymous and secret until the end, similar to HLVRAI’s plot. Similar to HLVRAI, it also contains a lot of jokes and memes from other media and fandoms, such as the Sailor Moon weed cup. It also connects itself to a lot of children’s media, as children’s media of the 90s would eventually become much more popular and reincarnated during the 20th and 21st century, such as children’s fable story of The Scorpion and The Frog and the children’s movie Space Jam. and I would continue writing the wikipedia article for this but I gotta finish school and write about mountains so PLEASE IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE GO READ IT its super cools and has a lot of representation in it plus it was made by bi nonbinary year2000electronics https://y2kvr.tumblr.com/tagged/y2kvr/chrono
(also you should check out hlvrv too its just as cool and plus theres a funny ps1 nonbinary character that’s one of the Gordon’s (multiple gordons in the au) partner n stuff)

the recap zone: check essential info here
You- Your messages are sent to gordon/the science team via email! You can try to help gordon, talk to the other assistants, try to help benrey take over the computer...
Or you could send them to coolmathgames again.
That’s- that’s FINE.
PLOT BEATS:
- Gordon realizes he’s stuck in his computer, Benrey tried not to “wake the others up”, but everyone activated anyways. Benrey tells Gordon his inverted heart necklace will protect him.
- We learn that because he’s stuck in the computer, Gordon’s body acts like any other code or computer would, meaning he doesn’t need to eat, but also, his brain “lags” because his computer is much less advanced than him. Finally, because he needs to “free up storage”, he’s been losing his memories.
- After many persistent emails, Gordon opens Benrey’s love letter, and gets a virus, only for Bubby to save him.
- The group tried to find the Core, also known as the exit, on the founding company’s website, only to find it overwritten by a virus.
- They tried the desktop, and Gordon learns of Radio TV Solutions being defunct, and the bluescreen timer.
- They also found Benrey’s diary, and it’s revealed he was a virus trying to infect as much people as he can with Y2KVR, but got stuck inside when it was shut down.
- Forzen gets infected thanks to Benrey urging the emails to help him, but he’s quickly saved as well.
- Coomer gives Bubby one of Benrey’s love letters, and they start dating, but Bubby doesn’t get infected.
- Tommy suggests they go find “the Restrictor” on the deep web.
- The Restrictor invites them onto the deep web.
- Everyone wakes up in the deep web, realizing that because their code literally doesn’t allow them to see it, they’ll have to fumble around in the dark to find Tommy’s dad.
- After letting it slip Gordon’s middle name is Barnabas, the emails’ jeering ends up being too much for Gordon, and he disconnects.
- Gordon reappears, infected with the virus after Benrey gave him a letter saying it was an apology from the emails.
- Bubby seems to not notice Gordon is infected, which means Tommy takes things into his own hands and uses some of his dad’s power to cure Gordon. However, this leaves Tommy exhausted and he must rest for the rest of the day.
- We see Joshua for the first time and it’s revealed Gordon’s ex is a programmer named Spork.
- Benrey, annoyed with the emails, decides to cut his losses, activating the virus he had installed during Coomer’s confession.
- He bluescreens the other AIs, and runs off with Gordon and an infected Bubby.
- The restrictor brings Tommy back after the emails ask him to, and they set off to rescue Gordon and Bubby.
- Dr. Coomer is acting strangely- his pent-up anger is literally getting blocked by his code.
- Bubby, now going by Dr. Feelgood, tries to infect everyone else, but he gets defeated and apologizes to Coomer.
- Benrey and Gordon have a sleepover, only for Benrey to realize... he doesn’t want to do this.
- The others rescue Gordon, shattering the necklace that allowed him to be infected in the first place. Benrey, believing that he’ll never escape, gives up.
- As Benrey ends up sending emails to himself to reflect his inner monologue, the others find the restrictor.
- He congratulates them on a job well done, but all of a sudden, Benrey believes that his last chance is upon him- he absorbs the restrictor’s power and becomes the admin.
- The group is forced to confront their worst fears, but with the help of the emails, everyone is able to come together as a group.
- Unfortunately, thanks to his new admin powers, Benrey’s able to infect everyone and corner Gordon.
- That’s when we see Gordon’s ex open the door...
- After a day of seeing what the past was like, we find out Spork was working on the HAV suit- a powerful antivirus that could combat Benrey.
- Gordon frees everyone from Benrey’s control, and faces him at last.
- He finally gets through to Benrey, and the Restrictor is released.
- Everyone is saved, and Benrey AND Gordon are finally free.
Y2KVR/Radio TV Solutions- The defunct company that made the y2kvr program. A smaller group of programmers not really present in the scene yet, they were hoping to break new ground with this revolutionary tech- however, the y2k scare caused them to program a protective measure into the ai, then shutting the program down and anxiously awaiting y2k. Once the new year had passed, the company realized y2k was prevented, and tried to save their years of hard work, only to find their own protective measure was what doomed them. The company was later liquidated.
The characters in general- If tricked into opening a love letter, the science team or gordon will get infected with a virus- this might cause them to act real lovey-dovey. Also, if any of the ai besides benrey finds out that the year 2000 has passed, they’ll bluescreen thanks to a protective measure the programmers put in. This goes in real-time, so the day of the month corresponds to y2kvr’s days, but the month is december 1999- if Gordon doesn’t escape before new years, the entire computer will bluescreen and he’ll be stuck forever. Alternatively, if all characters manage to become infected, Benrey will escape and gordon will be stuck as a virus.
Gordon- Human, stuck in his computer, which seems to have downloaded the Y2KVR program without his permission. He comes from the year 2002. His body acts like the other assistants, thanks to it being made of the same code. However, being a former human, this means his brain “lags” more than he expects it to, and he’s losing more and more memories thanks to him having a lower “storage space”.
His worst childhood memory is throwing up in a showbiz pizza.
Benrey- A virus, but he insists he’s “the messenger”, and none of the other assistants believe he’s a virus. Insists Gordon takes the love letter he has for him. He gave Gordon the inverted heart necklace, and insists it will protect him. A diary that might be his implies that he wanted to infect as many people as he could by latching onto y2kvr, only to get stuck when it shut down. He wants out, and he’ll do that by infecting the computer. The only nonhuman who knows the truth about y2k.
Dr. Coomer - The main desktop assistant of y2kvr! Had a close shave when he almost learned that radio tv solutions was liquidated in 2000, and almost blue screened, but thanks to the emails, he remains active! Happily dating Bubby. His coding acts up sometimes when he feels emotions too strongly.
Bubby- The firewall! He can get rid of malware, which means if he’s virus-free, everyone else will be, too. Dating Coomer. Egotistical.
Tommy- The browsing buddy! Resides on the internet and gets very excited about using websites and gifs. His dog, sunkist, is an alternate browsing buddy! He says his dad is the restrictor, and that they’re not supposed to bother him. Is the main navigator of the internet, so he’s the one who handles exploring.
Darnold- The operator! Always lingering, but a bit too shy to speak up. Can keep notes for gordon, but won’t read them for privacy’s sake. Has the high score on galaxy pinball.
Forzen- The music guru! Loves playing “phat beats”, and will play some mood music if you ask. He was talking a lot about love songs for a while though... maybe he did a sketchy download?
“The Restrictor”- Tommy’s father. Resides on the Deep Web, keeping the user out of it. The user was never supposed to see him, but he may be the group’s only remaining option.
Coolmathgames- The recurring joke here is sending Gordon back to coolmathgames to cause problems on purpose. You can do it if you’d like. It’s nice there.
Spork- Gordon’s ex and good friend. Was hired to optimize Y2KVR, only to get fired after they were considered “too expensive”. Helps Gordon get out of the computer.
