BURSTS IN HERE AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN LIKE A FUCKING MINUTE LATER Gordon tested the gun on THREE PEOPLE and Darnold was fucking HORRIFIED, in his words "No one man can handle such violence!" Meanwhile Gordon didn't seem to really process WHY he was horrified. ALREADY GUT CHURNING ENOUGH. BUT DON'T WORRY IT GETS WORSE

Because allll the way back in Act One. The elevator. Gordon killed three people, entirely on accident, and was HORRIFIED. Shaky, saying he didn't mean to do that, CLEARLY FUCKED UP. But now, at this point, he's been through so much shit that he CANNOT SEEM TO PROCESS why Darnold is horrified by three people dying in front of him, EVEN THOUGH HE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING ALL THE WAY BACK IN ACT ONE.

IT'S A FUCKING PARALLEL AND IT WAS DEFINITELY UNINTENTIONAL AND I'M FINE AND NORMAL

Darnold talking about Gordon's gun hand is beginning to fuck with me. Bc. He emphasizes "Oh everything's fine its just like your old arm it's ok my potion totally worked." It's just like his old arm. Its like his old arm. Darnold isn't even AWARE of the sheer amount of killing Gordon has been forced to do but somehow convinces Gordon it shouldn't feel any different from his old arm. Gordon didn't want to kill in the first place but he's been forced to murder like hundreds of people because of the shit he's going through, and when he gets to the point of getting the minigun arm he's accepted the fact he's a murderer. His hand literally became a gun because he's accepted to go fuck it guns blazing kill everything because he got just so tired of trying. Look at me dead in the eyes. Gordo Feetmans development is so much to me.

Not to even MENTION the SOLUTION for his whole "dead weight" situation after losing a hand was to just have his hand become a gun. Look at me. Gordon wanted literally anything else than to just be useless and if that meant mystery potion and minigun arm he was going to do whatever it took to be useful and survive. I'm going crazy insane. I'm crying.

Man is not even slightly offended by the "just like ur old arm" comments but I AM and im choosing to beleive this has way more meaning than was probably intended.

ASKING YOU ABOUT YOUR STANLEY PARABLE/HLVRAI CROSSOVER. ELABORATE PLEASE??

more under the cut :3

So the basic concept goeth thusly:

Post HLVRAI canon, Gordon ends up in the Parable somehow. Stanley immediately mentally adopts him, while the Narrator is like "Oh we can ABSOLUTELY NOT have GORDON FREEMAN here" (nod to tsp originally being a hl2 mod!) and basically tries to boot Gordon out the Parable. He resets, and now Benrey is here.

So already not fun for the Narrator (though much fun for stanley, who loves seeing the narrator distressed because stanley is a bastard). Wrangling Stanley is already a nightmare, and now he has two other guys, one of which is an alien who can just noclip, which is very frustrating.

However, there's another twist to this: the role of narrator keeps being shuffled around. Sometimes, the Narrator is not the narrator, it's instead Gordon. Sometimes it's Benrey. Sometimes Stanley. Sometimes there's one player and the other three are narrators, and sometimes two of them are narrators and the other two are players.

So basically: we have Gordon (argumentative as shit), Benrey (benrey), Stanley (very glad to be talking to someone aside from the british man), and the Narrator (his phucking story)

I'll explain the symbolism I put in their narrator designs. So:

The Narrator is Stanley's shadow. That shadow can stretch and grow, but at the end of the day, he's tied to Stanley. He literally cannot do anything without him- when Stanley stops moving (eg: not stanley ending), the Narrator can do nothing.

Stanley's narrator form is inspired by one of my favorite interpretations of Stanley- one where he didn't really use ASL or writing or anything, but instead communicated through drawings. So while Stanley has no visible form, he's present through little drawings.

Gordon's design is far simpler in my mind- his arc in this is realizing he's not fully human either, he's an AI who was completely shaped by the player. So when he's the narrator, his visible form is confined to screens. This also ties into a lot of themes of control.

Benrey's entire body shifts colors in accordance with his emotions, specifically Sweet Voice colors. The exception is the spot of pink on his chest, the hearts on his face, and his eyes. His chest glows pink always, as do the hearts on his face (showing that even though he is a fucking nightmare, at his core is love. Benrey loves, and he wants to be loved). His eyes don't shift color with his body, but they change with his emotions as well- blue when he's calmer/happier, yellow when he's stressed out. This is true even when he's not in Narrator form.

Benrey's narrator form is a very intentional parallel to the Narrator's. The Narrator is a shadow, and Benrey's literally glowing bright light. The Narrator's mouth can be seen, Benrey's can't. The Narrator is literally tied to Stanley, but Benrey's not tied to anyone. (To make the symbolism there blatant: the Narrator really wants to have control, which paradoxically leads him to have less control. Meanwhile Benrey doesn't care how much control he has, which paradoxically leads him to having more.)

Additionally: while everyone can be pulled out of their narrator forms into their normal forms, they can't do it on their own, it has to be their (for lack of a better term) game partner. Gordon is the only one who can get Benrey into his normal form. Stanley is the only one who can get the Narrator into his normal form. Vice versa.

So: that's the general stuff, and the Narrator designs. I have written down in Discord what I think their arcs would be, and how they all parallel each other. Gordon-Narrator and Stanley-Benrey are the biggest parallels, but Stanley and Gordon parallel each other as well (same with Benrey and the Narrator). I'll explain if asked and welcome ideas :3 But first I'm gonna pass the fuck out it's 18 FUCKING DEGREES FARENHEIT WHEN DID IT GET SO COLD

Anyway. Take this exchange I wrote when I first came up with the idea of this AU that's basically a script of how I thought I would write this (I didn't have it be post-canon beforehand, and I really should've had Gordon actually talk more, but I got enraptured by writing the Narrator he was so fun to write but also so anxiety inducing but also I am cringe yet I am free)

Falls over abt how Gordon and Benrey are on complete opposite sides of the humanity spectrum in the team and neither of them fully feel like AI and they're the only ones not wearing labcoats and Gordon's inherently separated from the rest of the team on account of being the literal fucking player character and Benrey's interpreted in a multitude of ways (other player character, virus, corrupted replication of Barney, eldritch beast, etc) most of which separate him from the team as well and Gordon's the most human while Benrey's the most inhuman and they both have this inherent separation from the rest of the team that unites them in being the other and they're the only members of the team not wearing labcoats
