#coomer city

[michellezagenda]

no bc i will forever be enraged over the sexualization of GYM clothes for women

[spaceistheplaceart]

can't feel it.

(during HL2VRAI, in which the AIs now know that Gordon is the player... but still dislike seeing him hurt)

BEGIN ID:

A grayscale HLVRAI comic. Gordon is crouched down next to Tommy at some point in time, Tommy is holding a medkit and is worried. Gordon has a cut on his knee. Gordon says: "I'm fine! I can't feel anything that happens in the game. Remember?" with a smile. Some time later, Gordon is firing at combine, stalkers, and manhacks in City 17. Bullets fly by him as he yells behind him: "Don't worry about me, I can't feel it! Just run!" Gordon is a little scuffed on his face. Some time later again, Gordon is bruised and bloodied with bullet marks on his HEV suit. He has a black eye and on the opposite cheek there is blood coming from a cut. His hair is messy. He waves his hand dismissively, smiling and saying: "D-don't worry, I can't feel it. Ah-haha!..." Bubby is behind him and looks slightly concerned. Suddenly Dr. Coomer hugs Gordon. Gordon frowns, lip trembling, as he sinks down to his knees while Dr. Coomer holds him. We then see the player in his real life gaming room, on his knees, holding nothing. He says: "I can't feel it..." he's shaking.

END ID:

I tried to add color but it looked gross so green city for Coomer here

Day 7: Clones! fun fact, the Dr.Coomer boss fight was the turning point from when I thought HLVRAI was a funny little series to when it became one of my main interests! I've never drawn Dr.Coomer so many times at once...

Out of all rape/SA scenes from Greek Mythology the moment when Zeus leaves Persephone pregnant with Zagreus is the most disturbing one in my honest opinion. Besides the fact that parent/child incest is very rare among gods to the point where it seems that this was one of the few exceptions to them where incest "went too far", the manner in which Nonnus chose to describe the moment was completely disgusting:

Nonnus, Dionysiaca 6. 155 ff : "[Demeter hid her daughter Persephone away in a cave in Sicily to avoid the many suitors :] Ah, maiden Persephoneia! You could not find how to escape your mating! No, a Drakon (Dragon-Serpent) was your mate, when Zeus changed his face and came, rolling in many a loving coil through the dark to the corner of the maiden's chamber, and shaking his hairy chaps he lulled to sleep as he crept the eyes of those creatures of his own shape who guarded the door. He licked the girl's form gently with wooing lips. By this marriage with the heavenly Drakon, the womb of Persephone swelled with living fruit, and she bore Zagreus the horned baby, who by himself climbed upon the heavenly throne of Zeus and brandished lightning in his little hand, and newly born, lifted and carried thunderbolts in his tender fingers [i.e. Zeus marked him as his heir].

And look, I know that back then women were considered men's property (more or less, and depending on the city we're talking about as well), or that Ancient Greeks didn't have the word "rape". However, that doesn’t mean that people had absolutely no idea that there's a difference between wanting to have sex and being penetrated without consent. In Homeric Hymn To Demeter, for instance, it is emphasized to us that Persephone was screaming and crying for help and she's described as "unwilling" so that the reader could understand how horrifying the entire situation was. Meanwhile, Nonnus describes this entire scene as a voyeuristic one, not as a disturbing, traumatising experience. At this point it could be interpreted as sad porn, and the fact that he didn't have the interest to write how was Persephone feeling after being assaulted or after her own son died leads indirectly to her objectification.

At this point Nonnus seems to be an ancient coomer.

Post game

Coomer: lives in a small apartment with Punch Out posters all over in a way that does not look good, he also owns many mugs with text like "best affront to nature" and "best organ donor" given to him by the scientists who worked on him, he does boxing full time now that he's left Black Mesa

Bubby: lived on site but now lives with Coomer, they are gay and domestic old men, he is a house husband but he's not very good at it

Tommy: lives with his dad in a nice single story house pretty far away from the city, his room is filled with things he likes and dog toys for Sunkist, he becomes a surgeon and is very good at his job

Gman: lives with his son, the house is kept tidy and has a mix of dentist office level of decor and

Forzen: Lived in a college dorm. As the only surviving member of the military that was sent to Black Mesa he received a generous amount of hush money. He now lives in an apartment in the same complex as the oldies and pursues his interest in art. He does commissions.

Benr(e)y: Lived on site as a volunteer for an experiment. He now lives with Forzen. They mostly play video games and became a streamer, he has a modest following on YouTube. He and Forzen play games and watch YouTube together.

Gordon: He lived on site before. He now lives in the same apartment complex as most everyone. He's direct neighbors with Benrey and Forzen. He isn't great at life outside of Black Mesa and has no job, but he has friends who care about him and who are so freaking rich they don't mind paying his rent.

Darnold: Technically he's had his apartment for years, paying rent and all, but with how long he stayed in his lab he practically lived there. He's very rich off of his patent for Powerade™ but doesn't use the money for anything other than gear for experiments, and paying his landlord for the damage said experiments cause

So! This is a prime opportunity to call hlvrai fans to my thoughts for hl2vrai, with my extended knowledge of the half life LORE

So, we were told half life 2 took place in 2020 in the main timeline, for hlvrai, that’s when the black mesa incident happened-

Hlvrai 1 - 2020

Gordon has been gone for 20 years, he kinda fucked off and didn’t listen to Dr coomer’s request- shame on gordo���s

According to coomer it’s 2040 now, so the 20 years of Gordo gone has passed.

Coomer seems to be recently arriving in city 17, probably to join bubby in the teleport lab

Tommy has been hired into the family business, so he’s probably gonna be our greeter for hl2vrai, like Gman waking up Gordon in half life 2

No clue where benrey is, so he might be gone still, unless Wayne’s pulling a “shit I stole from popular au’s” thing and making benrey possess Barney Calhoun /hj

Alyx and Breen are gonna be important, and I think Kleiner and Eli might be too, given that. But we’ll see come next year

We pray for Holly’s Wi-Fi when it comes out, however

Having my mandatory floor time break from drawing so now Im going to Think About AUs while Heartrocker horror gameplay tm plays on the laptop at my desk

Ive been. Thinking abt a possible silly hlvrai trigun AU tbh…

Benrey independent, Gordon plant engineer, Bubby and Coomer I’m very torn about but maaaaybe scientists Or lost tech enthusiasts, Tommy also indecisive abt whether independent or plant engineer or something else, Forzen bounty hunter would be silly or gung ho guns, Darnold also maaaybe still scientist maybe someone from the fall who has been in and out of cryosleep, my arm is cramping, do I even want to think about gman

Benrey is still a security officer. sorta. beeteedubs. He just chills around plants, either through towns or cities or on the remaining ships, just sorta going around keeping his sisters company and. Iunno what goal do you have when you have possible immortality. beat your game highscore over and over . maybe he works with Tommy and Darnold to try and publish more research and studies about plants, maybe they also work on trying to reduce work load on them by attempting to cultivate food without the help of geo plants at all. They’d be best of pals, darnold warmed up to him being an independent after a while . Uhhhhh. Gordon is clueless . Bubby and Coomer knows. Idk abt forzen. My arm is still cramping

Trigun fallen london au….

More thoughts on the tma au . Archivist Milly and Meryl. What then . Eye-hunt archivists come on

I think if we’re putting. Trigun chars in the tma univers sit would be so 😭… like okay. Swap out the entire archives w Milly Meryl vash wolfowod (not the nouns rights revoked. No capital letters for you)

Mmmmmaybr Vash was chosen to work as Archivist . Eye didn’t really take to him nor did he end up taking to the eye that much after all, and it turned its gaze into Milly and Meryl as vasolation got it’s mittens on vash instead. Wolfwood is still buried (SNORT. sniff. cough. sobs). Elias gets wind of the archivist situation and ???? for a bit before wondering how two simultaneously active archivists will work out. Vash still does his job but tbh the gang just Knows it’s not goin

Okay floor time is making me eepy

[good-boy-ren]

said on my main selfship that i might use my spirit city journal to write selfship ideas and omg. actual gamechanger. "i'm not going to post this anywhere it's just for me" lead to almost 1k works. now, is it anything more than a glorified outline? no. will i go back and make it into something more traditionally fic-like? eh. we'll see. i just wanted to be horny about a thought i had earlier today and it worked kJNSADKJN

[tw nsft scenario]

ofc now that i have this in front of me i can't 'use it' tonight bc i need to go to bed Right Neow... but still. holy shit.

(the idea is about ren and me being separated for a couple of weeks as i go someplace for medical testing. and while he starts off 'normal' (very very horny. sticking his face into my things to smell me. fucking his fist multiple times a day.), he becomes needier and more desperate over time.

then he gets swamped with work and he doesn't have the energy to get off when he gets home. so when i finally get back he's just. SOOOOO pent up and emotional. he tries to hide it and then say 'we don't need to do anything abt it' when The Issue becomes Obvious, but eventually i convince him that it's okay for me to help get him off.

he does in fact get VERY into it. putting all of his weight into fucking my hand in his pants and kissing me and moaning into my mouth as he tells me all of the things he missed while i was gone (waking up next to me, making me laugh bc i don't laugh often, the way i look when i'm working on smth i'm passionate about). interlocking his hand with the one that isn't in his pants LMAO, and slowly going full coomer brain before finally cumming all over my hand. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

AND THEN, once i think he's done fucking my hand through his orgasm, he starts rocking against it again, eager for a round 2... maybe even a round 3... hehe <3 and i just tease him through each round while internally wanting to cry from the compliments and the care he shows.

summary of a summary, so this doesn't convey the heavy and overwhelming Vibe well, but... tldr he Wonts me... he has abandonment issues and this response is probably the first BIG sign for me in-universe that he has some things we can work through together. bc while it presents differently for me... coughs... we aren't so different in that regard kJNASKJN)

Hey CNN how about a story mentioning the men spreading STIs?

Brett Coomer/Houston Chronicle/Getty ImagesCNN — 

The Houston Health Department has reported a syphilis outbreak, with an increase of 128% among women in the city, and a ninefold increase in congenital cases in Houston and the surrounding Harris County area since 2019.

Rates of congenital syphilis are skyrocketing in the US. Here's why

Health officials announced the outbreak in a Thursday news release.

According to the department, new infections rose by 57% from 2019 to 2022. There were 2,905 new infections in 2022, compared to 1,845 new infections in 2019.

There were 674 cases among women in 2022, a steep increase from 295 cases in 2019, according to the release. And there were 151 cases of congenital syphilis in 2021, the latest year for which statistics are available, compared to just 16 cases in 2016.

Congenital syphilis happens when a pregnant person passes the bacterial infection to their baby in the womb. Untreated congenital syphilis can lead to stillbirth or damage the baby’s organs or bones.

“It is crucial for pregnant women to seek prenatal care and syphilis testing to protect themselves from an infection that could result in the deaths of their babies,” said Marlene McNeese Ward, deputy assistant director in the Houston Health department’s Bureau of HIV/STI and Viral Hepatitis Prevention, in the news release. “A pregnant woman needs to get tested for syphilis three times during her pregnancy.”

Pregnant women should be tested for syphilis at their initial prenatal visit, during the third trimester, and at delivery, according to the release.

The health department is waiving all clinical fees for sexually transmitted infections at its health centers, according to the release.

Additionally, the department “will expand the use of its HIV/STD mobile clinic to increase the number of community screening sites and set up in areas considered hot spots, selected from disease monitoring and case management data,” the release said.

Syphilis is a bacterial infection commonly spread through sexual contact. The disease usually starts with a painless sore on the genitals or mouth – direct contact with the sores spreads the infection.

When it’s caught early on, syphilis is easily treatable with antibiotics. But without treatment, the infection can lie dormant in the body for years or even decades before attacking the brain, nerves, eyes, and other organs. It can cause deafness, blindness, and death.

Congenital syphilis has skyrocketed across the US, particularly in the South and Southwest. Infections in newborns have risen about 700% across the country over the past decade, a CDC official previously told CNN. Experts attributed the rise to a combination of factors including lack of public funding for sexual health programs, a shortage of qualified personnel, and uneven coverage for screening by Medicaid.

Because syphilis in its early stages may not have obvious symptoms, pregnant people and their health care providers might not notice it or screen for it at all.

Half-Life VR but the AI Is Self-Aware (Sometimes shortened to Half-Life VR: Self Aware AI and abbreviated HLVR: AI) is a role-playing themed livestream and machinima series staged within a virtual reality version Garry's Mod recreation of the video game Half-Life. The series, live streamed to Twitch with highlights later uploaded to YouTube, follows Gordon Freeman accompanied by the Science Team (controlled by other improv actors) as they loosely follow the events of the original Half-Life game.

The series was met with positive reception by critics. On May 12, 2020, a cast commentary series began to be uploaded to the wayneradiotv YouTube channel.[1] On May 31, 2020, a sequel, AI Crushes All Banks[a] was streamed as part of a charity drive,[2] set in Payday 2, in which the main cast begins a bank robbing spree across the city of Washington, D.C. On November 25, 2021, a spin-off series titled Half-Life: Alyx but the Gnome Is Too Aware was released.

Format

Half-Life VR but the AI Is Self-Aware loosely follows the events of the original Half-Life, albeit with a much more humorous and comedic tone, with main character Gordon Freeman (played by series host WayneRadioTV) accidentally causing a Resonance Cascade and exploring Black Mesa to try to escape (and later undo his actions).[3] The series' main divergence from that of the original is the introduction of original self-aware AI characters, who despite the name of the series, are performed by other improv actors.[4][5][6]

Similarly, the series is actually played within the game Garry's Mod, as Half-Life lacks support for virtual reality and additional features necessary for the staging of the series (such as limitations with object spawning and map sizes). The most notable actor-controlled characters are the series' supporting cast: three scientists named Bubby, Dr. Coomer, and Tommy, as well as an antagonistic security guard named Benrey (alternatively spelled "Benry"),[4][5] all four of whom follow Gordon in his journey through Black Mesa, generally to Gordon's detriment.[3][7]

Characters

Main characters

Dr. Gordon Freeman (played by WayneRadioTV): The primary protagonist of the series. A scientist at Black Mesa, Gordon is the straight man of the series, reacting with confusion and horror to the rest of the cast's actions. While generally having profound perseverance and emotional stability throughout the series, he is also shown to break down after major events and often loses his patience with members of the group. Gordon is a natural leader and looks out for everyone on the team, and is hesitant to take innocent lives, unlike the other scientists. He has his hand cut off by soldiers midway through the series; one of Darnold's potions results in Gordon growing a gun-like appendage that fires fingernails in its place. However, he later regains his missing hand at the end of the series. His favorite video game is revealed to be Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days. He mentions having a son, Joshua, and has a picture of the two of them in his locker at Black Mesa, however he is only mentioned one other time when mocking Benrey's passport.

Dr. Harold Pontiff Coomer (played by hollow_tones): A scientist known for his cheerful demeanor, superhuman strength, and severely glitched tutorial NPC behavior. He is an incredibly skilled hand to hand combatant, and started the Black Mesa Underground Fight Club. Unlike the other members of the cast who generally treat the events of the series as if they were real, Dr. Coomer regularly breaks the fourth wall to inform Gordon about various made-up game mechanics. While Coomer at first appears unaware of these "glitches", the gag culminates with Coomer falling into an existential dread, realizing and making explicit references to the fact that he is in a video game. At one point, he attempts to take control and escape from the game by ambushing Gordon with the help of his “clones”. He speaks directly to Gordon at the end of the "game", suggesting that he takes the Science Team with him. One of his most used quotes is "Hello, Gordon!". He speaks a lot about Wikipedia, and his favorite game is Super Punch-Out!! for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

Dr. Tommy Coolatta (played by Baaulp): A friendly, childlike scientist who turns 37 at the end of the series. He shows great concern for following rules and consulting written references for information, often referencing Wikipedia and OSHA regulations as they explore the ruined science facility. Tommy forms a close bond with Gordon over the course of the series, as the only member of the Science Team who never antagonizes or betrays him. However, despite his kind nature, he is highly distractible and easily manipulated by the other characters into allowing their wrongdoing. Tommy has the ability to read the Black Mesa Sweet Voice, an ability used by several characters throughout the series, especially his dog Sunkist. Tommy also has the ability to see incredibly fast due to his constant consumption of soda.

Dr. Bubby (played by MasterGir): A crass, impulsive, and egotistical scientist. His ego and demeanor often lead him to clash with Gordon, and later in the series, Bubby betrays him to the military when Benrey convinces him that Gordon was holding them back from escaping Black Mesa. It is ambiguous as to whether Bubby is his real name – though it is listed on his passport later in the series, he claimed to have sustained a head injury from the resonance cascade that made his name hard to remember, and Gordon expresses doubt that he is remembering correctly.

Benrey, alternatively "Benry", (played by socpens): A sullen and hostile security guard. Prior to becoming the main antagonist in the final act of the series, Benrey follows along with the Science Team while constantly harassing and arguing with Gordon, demanding to see his passport and accusing him of various misdeeds while deliberately ignoring the wrongdoings of the other characters. He has an absentminded demeanor, often ignoring the team and asking for simple directions or questions to be repeated. He exhibits near invincibility, murders indiscriminately, and casually remarks that he is "not human". Benrey was thought to have died after he was crushed by a closing door, but it was later revealed that he was still alive and had some connection to the skeletons that Gordon kept seeing. In the finale, Benrey reveals his alien nature and turns against the Science Team, blaming Gordon for the events of the Black Mesa incident and for ruining his plans to relax and play Heavenly Sword on the PlayStation 3 with his friends because he ran out of PlayStation Plus. Benrey also edits the Wikipedia Article for All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 to say that Gordon Freeman died at the end. Since then, there has been continuous vandalism of the All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 Wikipedia page, warranting semi-protection.

Recurring characters

G-Man (played by spaghoner): An enigmatic alien being that frequently attempts to give Gordon cryptic advice. He is later revealed to be Tommy's father, having aided Gordon so Benrey would be defeated and Tommy and his friends could have a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese.

Forzen (played by socpens): An HECU Marine and minor antagonist. Forzen claims to have formerly been Benrey's best friend, and the two have similar personalities and mannerisms. Despite his tough appearance, he is quite shy and does not seem particularly interested in going out of his way to cause violence. He holds Tommy's dog Sunkist (named after the eponymous soft drink) hostage, but flees when the outcome disfavors his intentions.

Skeleton (played by socpens, spaghoner, Lauren, and Logmore): A mysterious skeleton that haunts Gordon. It is initially left ambiguous as to whether the Skeleton is a hallucination or not, and much of the nature of the skeleton is left unclear, although it is associated with Benrey in some way and often behaves like him. A team of skeletons are summoned under Benrey's control in the final battle of the series.

Darnold (played by Logmore): The head of the Black Mesa Mixology Department. Darnold aides the Science Team by equipping them with advanced technology and administering a potion that transforms Gordon's severed arm into a minigun. While initially excited about joining the Science Team on their escape mission, he turns back after witnessing the violence they commit. He returns in AI Crushes All Banks to support the team remotely.

Sunkist (played by Lauren): Purported to be the perfect dog. He was created by Tommy, possibly with some help from G-Man, and is immortal. Sunkist is a very large, two-dimensional stock image of a Golden Retriever, almost the same height as Gordon. He is shown to be incredibly obedient, bulletproof, and is capable of flight.

Dr Coomer's ex-wife: Dr Coomer's ex-wife is mentioned multiple times. When the science team tries to name the Vortigaunts, Dr. Coomer says they look like his ex-wife. When asked if Dr. Coomer has any family, he responds with "I did have a wife, but they took her in the divorce". It is implied he has multiple ex-wives.

Dr. Coomer’s clones: Due to the original Half-Life reusing models for scientists, several NPCs share the same model as Dr. Coomer. A running gag in the series is Dr. Coomer referring to these NPCs as his clones. This gag culminates in Dr. Coomer (having become self-aware at this point) summoning dozens of clones and ambushing Gordon with them in an attempt to take control and escape the game.

JohnWicklover1994: A mysterious person who joined the Science Team temporarily during the AI Crushes All Banks stream. Portrayed as a gamer whose server was invaded with the team members. Has an apathetic and negative personality strikingly similar to Benrey's. Benrey later claims that JohnWicklover1994 was his brother using his account.

thinking horror au thoughts. VERY rough sketch below of general vibes

(cw: blood/gore)

sort of a uhhhh. hl2 setup but Worse. what happened to each character as vaguely thought of so far:

benry isn't doing so hot after the boss battle. missing half his head, kinda skeletal, in a constant state of bleeding. he's got just a teensy bit of brain damage and is very, very hungry (usually he's invulnerable but shit went down and now he's Stuck with some damage and it won't go away)

tommy is a cult leader! dont worry about it. sunkist, the perfect dog, just had a juicy treat :) don't worry

coomer is rusting, and his coding is glitching (it's a not a game au as well just fyi, but he's like, a cyborg) and he's stranded outside the cities with bubby

bubby is half infected and mutated all to shit and half feral. but hey at least he's happy :)

g-man is dead and gordon was released out of stasis by complete accident when shit's already too fucked to fix. last thing he remembers is going to sleep after tommy's birthday party, when g-man stowed him away for later. gordon wakes up in the hev suit with his prosthetic in a hellscape wasteland without the sun and combine everywhere.

he, y'know, has fun.

Humanity

I'm not you and you're not me! We both have a different perspective on life and yet it can be both the right one for us. I don't hate you, I don't dislike you, I don't want to harm you, I don't think like you, I don't wake up with the same problems as you, I don't have the same things you do, I don't look like you, I don't dress like you. I am not you! But I'm here for the same things in life as you, I want to love, I want to live, I want to know all that life has to give, I want to feel how real life is, I want to touch all that I can before it is over, I want to hear all the music, I want to see all the beauty that it has to give, I want my time here to mean I was alive and lived! We come from different worlds and different perspectives and yet we live in the same house, the same street, the same neighborhood, the same city, the same town, the same state, the same country, and the same world. I'm open-minded which has no barriers to biased opinions, I don't see sin like closed doors, I see everyone has wounds in the cuts are different on each of us, I see your difference and I can love you anyway. I am me you are you! 2-5-21 Mary K. Staat-Coomer

"Hot take but if you join a smaller guild focused on story driven RP you won't have to worry about all your character interactions being with coomers. Or you can keep trying to find stories amongst the walk-up dregs, idc" Haha, you have no idea what happened to MG-H and WrA-A, I see. They did this and both tanked so hard that you're lucky to find ONE person in the capital city at peak hours.

There’s a local AGP on the cosplay scene in my city (small population) who attends basically every event regardless of scale dressed up in cheap Ali express/temu tier bought cosplays of anime girls with cheap wigs, whom I’ve spotted basically every time. and recently the local artist alley group was discussing a scandal at an adjacent convention because a cosplayer that frequented all events wore inappropriate cosplay to an all ages event and then, to boot, undressed in front of an 8 year old child prompting a complaint from the parents and the complete cancellation of the event and guess what. It was him

The funniest part is that several of the people in group chat said “I suspected it was him” and then they started laughing at his coomer “cosplay” performances and cringing. I love seeing people fed up with this shit kek
