#you need to watch everything here btw (Especially from Shipwrecked!)
Note
Would love to know your favorite Joey character (also love the way your draw him)
Aw, thank you 🥺🐐🐇💛🤍
But my fav Joey character? Yeah, I guess I can turn this into a mini show and tell, lol 👍
From Starkid: Ted Spankoffski, which is kinda obvious. Is he a terrible person who deserves the title of "Most deaths in the Hatchetfield series"? Absolutely. Is he still my blorbo? Absolutely 👨🐐
This man has no shame and I love seeing him die anytime he appears in a HF story ✨
From Tin Can Bros: Scrags, but mostly because I am unable to rewatch SAF more than once a year, cause it gives me such slaps in my face after act 2 starts that I am emotionally unable to watch it (/pos ofc, I just can't go through sleepless nights over gay spies anymore 🥲)
So sorry Owen lovers, I just like this depressed dog dad more (Especially after the Grunch, go watch it 🐕❄)
From Shipwrecked: Easily Ernest Hemingway, no debating, lol. Funnily it's mostly cause I love his costuming/design, like this brown on brown on brown is really speaking to the artist in me, ugh 🔪🤎🥃
(Also, I own the jacket, and Joey said it's cool I own something he wore and get to make look cool again, but it's so goddamn big on my 5 foot self,,,,,,)
✨Honorable mentions✨
Sergio's design from the SAF Kickstarter, just look at this boy, peak villain Joey design 💣💼
Dash Gunfire, who I've named most of my plushies after and have a crack theory about 🐇🤍🐇🤍 (He and Agent Curt Mega are related. No I won't elaborate, iykyk)
Tripp, the Brom's Babe who is definitely the most dramatic of the three 💞 (Also, I love these three in general??? Let them be gay and do crime and be probably terrible wing men to Brom) (Someone also ask me about all the headcanons I have about them, there's a lot)
Dracula Joey
I JUST LOVE ANYTHING DRACULA RELATED, OK?? ESPECIALLY IF IT'S RELATED TO THE BOOK! IDC IF HE ONLY APPEARED FOR 3 SECONDS, HE'S A REAL CHARACTER TO ME ❤🖤🧛♂️🥀

Dealing with the restlessness and depression arising from staying in quarantine for more than 10 days:
So I have been watching a lot of Youtube. I would read more but I kind of got into a slump and have to read a lot of boring books for Uni as well so the reading has slowed down but I’ll get there. Here are some suggestions for content that will cheer you up:
Youtube channels to watch:
I rewatch things with a high quantity of comedy and wholesome content. They both distract from the anxiety-inducing news and also just cheer you up. My favorite things to watch are mostly old stuff that I have watched to deal with anxiety before. Things that have been my safe place and I associate good memories with. Here’s a list for those who might be interested:
Starkid: If you don’t know, this is a yt based theater company and they are so generous and kind and they upload whole freaking performances to yt so broke bitches like me can watch from across the globe! I basically love all of their stuff but they have different genres and you can find your fit.
Danandphilgames: Ever since BA, I watched DanandPhil’s videos before exams when I get too anxious. They are funny and sweet and it’s a great distraction. I HIGHLY recommend the sims series. It’s like a freaking drama series with some really chaotic creators! They haven’t released anything new but the old stuff are still so precious.
TheMischiefmanagers: This is a channel dedicated entirely to the Harry Potter universe and I LIVE FOR IT! It’s so good. They have a marauders series and a golden trio+Draco series and they also do sketches and parodies and the whole thing screams cozy and nostalgia and hygge!
BonAppetit: Gourment makes and It’s Alive! That’s it! That’s my whole pitch!
The Try Guys: 4 guys being adorably chaotic and dismantling toxic masculinity one joke at a time! The whole thing is that the more you watch, you start to develop emotional attachments to them so things get funnier and more endearing.
Tin Can Bros: This is very similar to Starkid and ShipWrecked. They have two very good musicals. I recommend “Spies are Forever”. Everyone should have the pleasure to watch that once in their life!
ShipWrecked: Arguably one of the best channels on Yt (I said what I said!) Their ‘Edgar Allen Poe murder mystery Party’ is one the best miniseries in existence especially for bookworms and fans of the classics. So many literature puns...so many...(My favorite character is George Eliot!)
The Lizzy Bennet Diaries: An oldie but a goodie! Who wouldn’t want a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice? WHO???? (I have more modern retellings recs if anyone is interested btw! Let me know)
Safiya Nygaard: So Safiya’s videos are so good? I resisted watching her videos for a long time but when I did, I became obsessed.
Read Fanfiction:
If you don’t have work or you’ve still got some time on your hand and trust me when the quarantine gets to the second week, you will get restless and everything will suck, so rereading some favorite fanfics can cheer you up. What’s the point of fanfic if not to be reread at hard times?!
I have fanfic recs but I feel like that defeats the purpose! You should just go reread your faves!
Read a good book:
Reading is obviously a great option and it passes the time and this is the perfect time to catch up on your tbr. Audiobooks are a good option right now. There are some free audiobooks available on both yt and Spotify. You can also use the openlibrary to burrow ebooks. Some reading recommendations:
Jane Austen: All of her books. Just any of them. This is a good time to read them. They are funny and romantic and dramatic and historical so basically, perfection.
Little Women: Has anyone else decided to reread the book after watching the new movie? Now’s a good time, I mean [SPOILER] does [SPOILER] but COME ON! That was a spoiler 150 years ago!
Harry Potter series: I’m rereading Harry Potter. It’s nostalgic. I listened to the audiobook today while baking. It was really nice.
Uprooted by Naomi Novik: great book; has a dragon and magical trees and a badass protagonist.
I have a list of new releases if you need more recs.
Carry on by Rainbow Rowell: Gay wizards. What else do you want?
Read some sjm books: because hate-reading is a thing you can do when you buy all the books like an idiot, even if you already know you hate them...
Write that book you always say you want to write but capitalism won���t let you!
Yup. Do that!
Well, there’s my list. I’ll make more later, maybe? I don’t know, depends on if I get notes on this!
#quarantine times#how to not bite the walls from loneliness#sorry if this has mistakes#It's really late

harf a lyfe one to half a li...whut
Now with most people and gamers I too really want a half life 3 but I honestly think the entire series needs a reboot, I mean half life 2 - half life 2 episode 2 make absolutely no sense story wise coming off half life 1 lemme break the stories down:
Half life 1 - you're a scientist called Gordon freeman who works in a top secret facility known as black Mesa which deals in all sorts of research from how to not leave an unattended microwave casserole in Gordon's reach to studying and researching an alien world and its creatures known as XEN. after a lengthy opening in which you ride a transit system to get your department known as "anomolous materials Lab" you put on your trusty H.E.V suit and make your way down to a testing chamber where a yellow crystal from the XEN world is awating being tested on by some large fuckin machine (plot twist this particular specimen was donated by the ever mysterious G-Man)
anyway after testing begins on the crystal everything fucks up and the whole place starts to go haywire with green bolts of electricity zapping everywhere from the machine and crystal thus forcing portals from XEN to open up everywhere within the yuuuuggee black mesa facility. after god knows how long you awaken in the destroyed test chamber making your way back to two scientist buddies (Dr Kleiner and Dr Eli Vance) who tell you to ‘‘gordon get to the surface and let someone know were stranded down here’’ to which you a scientist with no training in firearms (assumption) now fight your way through the black mesa facility killing all sorts of aliens from the headcrab to the vortigaunt.
after fighting through various offices and maintenance areas you come across the military who have infiltrated the facility with the goal of wiping out everyone and everything to cover up this mess of microwave casseroles and aliens. so now Gordon Freeman a man with no firearms training or tactical knowledge (again this is an assumption) fights his way through the military and aliens and maybe a few scientists coz they're quite fun to kill especially when you get to hear them say ‘’DARGGGG’’ or ‘‘HUWEGH’’ whenever you kill em.
after a long and arduous fight through soldiers, big green tentacles, giant blue thingys called gargantuans and assassins and what for some reason looks like a bloody military training base in area 51 you reach the LAMBDA complex where you reunite with fellow scientists and get teleported to the alien XEN world where once again you FIGHT through killing aliens of all sorts including a huge crab called a gonarch with one gross ass egg sack on its underside (turns out its mommy headcrab) you finally reach the climactic battle to stop the aliens invading! a giant battle with the XEN overlord called the NIHILANTH (btw this thing looks like a giant fucking baby with a banana peeling head that opens to show his weak spot), long story short you fuck his day up and bring an end to the XEN invasion of black mesa BUT when you save the day you are transported by the G-Man into a transit train where he blabbers on about some nonsensical shit and then gets off into a portal and vanishesssss putting you, the Gordon Freeman in some sorta stasis until ye be needed once again to smaench things with a crowbar.
(as for the G-Man fuck knows what his story is all i really know is he’s a man in a blue suit wielding a briefcase with black mesas logo on it and he can be spotted EVERYWHERE in black mesa as little easter eggs watching Gordon progress through the facility)
HALF LIFE 2:
Gordon is awoken by the G-Man in a place known as city 17 somewhere in Europe in what looks to be some strange ass future where an enemy known as the combine has taken over the world and now governs everything, with their evil leader Dr Breen! (who was actually the old administrator of Black mesa for some reason) look imma cut this one short coz this is where its get weird and makes no sense to the first half life game. coz its about saving the people of city of city 17 and starting a revolution in which you eventually topple Dr Breen only to discover there’s a higher power in another alien world or summin, basically the next two games after this focus on escaping city 17 after the citadels reactor is about go boom destroying the whole city and then onto fighting through the outskirts of the city in the woods to reach ‘‘white forest’’ a resistance base where ya launch a satellite at a giant portal which now looms over city 17′s ruins so that you may close it and save da wurl from aliens. the for some reason theres a shipwrecked boat called the aurora borealis which is housing some amazing technology which needs to be destroyed or summin and thats where valve has left the half life community ever since.
(my point was how the fuck does a game go from, secret facility incident with aliens entering the facility and killing shit to some almost post apocalytpic dreary future where yer old boss is in charge of earth and theres dudes in gas masks everywhere called the combine... i do truly love these games and their stories but they make no sense after the first game.
