#half life alyx but not the game half life alyx

[hexagonopus]

Yeah Okay

Fictional Women:

Alice (Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland) (Honorable Mention to Ariel from The Little Mermaid)

Alyx (Half-Life)

Beverly (It)

Biologist/Ghost Bird (Annihilation/Area X: The Southern Reach Trilogy)

Catherine (SOMA) (Honorable Mention to Tasi from Amnesia: Rebirth)

Heather (Silent Hill) (Honorable Mention to Angela)

Katran (Myst)

Lara (Tomb Raider)

Laura (Twin Peaks) (Honorable Mention to Lucy)

Samus (Metroid) (Honorable Mention to Princess Peach from Super Mario)

Bonus: Velma (Scooby-Doo!) (Honorable Mention to Daphne)

Real women:

I have five sisters in real life so I'm kind of cheating when it comes to naming ten real life women I like. But I guess I'll go out of my way to disregard family members, and I'll even assume friends don't count either.

Eartha Kitt (the actress, musician)

Emma Watson (the actress)

Jaiden (Animations) Dittfach (the YouTuber, animator)

Jamie Lee Curtis (the actress)

Jennell Jaquays (the artist/illustrator, video game designer)

Jennette McCurdy (the filmmaker, author, actress)

Mary Shelley (the author)

Peggy Lee (the musician, actress)

Rebecca Ann Heineman (programmer, author)

Sarah (PushingUpRoses) Wilson (the YouTuber)

Bonus: Zendaya (the actress, musician)

I'm not doing this to like, flex, or something, but to demonstrate that like, if you think you CAN'T make a list like this, then (1) you probably can, if you search through your life and your interests enough, (2) you really ought to highlight those women in your life (real and fictional) more in the day to day, and (3) you probably should still try to learn more about and expose yourself to more women, in real life, in your studies, and in your fiction.

And I'm not even perfect or anything! A lot of those fictional women are like, from stuff I consumed as a literal child. And the vast majority of them are white (or light-skinned), which is a whole other blind spot of mine!

Lastly, I know this is a tangent, but if you'll permit me, I wanted to share some fundraisers on the behalf of just two different women trying to survive with their families, amid the ongoing destruction of Palestine. These women are:

Safaa Al Khatib

Shymaa Taiser

Both of their fundraisers are vetted/verified(x 👈), and they both have a ways to go before reaching their respective goals, with donations currently coming few and far between. If you have anything at all that you can spare, please do. You can make a difference and help these women and their families reach safety and stability today.

Name ten female characters you like, you get zapped if it's jsut a male character you call a babygirl or other feminine nicknames because I can't see people calling Lestat coquette again

"so what did you do this summer?"

i. uh. I recreated the ending cutscene of half life alyx as a visual novel in ren'py ....

it was a really cool project through! I learned a lot and am really proud of the result! I even made the G-Man sprites in S2FM (by playing his in-game animations frame by frame and rendering some stills I liked haha)

here's some screeshots!

Alyx!

I never understand how so many gamers will simplify Alyx dislike towards Judith Mossman and gloss over it as just her being petty when it's so much more nuanced than that.

Alyx lost her mother in the Black Mesa incident, her entire life was uprooted overnight and she was thrown into a chaotic world where she was no longer safe to be a child like she deserves.

And Judith, we know, glorifies the incident, she wasn't there and clearly sees it through the lense of legend, whereas Alyx was there.

And until this point everybody believed gordon, this guy who saved all the people close to Alyx, was dead. And Judith according to alyx, believes the day would have gone differently if she was there.

So here is this woman, who was not there, who talks about what is possibly the worst day of Alyx's life, the day she lost her life, her mother, and treats the whole event like a glory quest. I'd be pissed as shit too, especially if she did this for years.

Now do I think Judith is bad? No, I think she's a nuanced and interesting character. I just also think Alyx's dislike of her is also incredibly story full and nuanced too.

And at the end of the day, we all know the only person who could've replaced gordon that day and survive the same, is Alyx.

Brother rly went "so yeah about that beer :)" immediately followed by implying he had (and still has) to beat at least a couple of people to maintain his position in Civil Protection. Really creates way more questions than it answers. What did u do Barney Calhoun. Is beating people up all it takes? Is there innocent blood on his hands? Is there weight on his conscience? Despite everything, did he still partake in the perks the position offered, the better housing, the extra food? How trusted is he in the resistance, really? It's probably well known that he still has to participate in the Combine's oppressive system, right? They can't all possibly view it as a completely necessary evil. I mean, some rebels hate Odessa Cubbage and his only crime seems to be "being an idiot".

Okay completely unrelated train of thought now but I wonder if he smuggles the melons Kleiner feeds to Lamarr. You can see some watermelons in a Civil Protection outpost/apartment so I assume that's one of the "better" foods the Combine provide to those that serve them. Goddd there's so much to this guy but it's all implication.. Wish he had more screentiiiiiiime I wanna see more of him. I wanna see what he's had to do to maintain cover, and what he's actually done to earn the Resistance's trust. How do the rebels feel, knowing that while they have to take shelter in the canal system, he's able to sleep in an actual apartment with an intact door?

now that i have your attention: please go donate or reblog this compaign !! ive been tagged by @khawla-gfm2 for some time now and the family hasn't reached their goal yet!!

$14,523 raised out of 20k!

This campaign is vetted by association through @mohiy-gaza (vet). (source)

PLEASE REBLOG AFTER VOTING

here's Khawla's words from the gfm page:

"I am Khawla from Gaza, 34 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to support her family of 5: Me, my husband, and my three children: Muhammad, who is 5 years old; Sham, who is 3 years old; and Ghazal, who is nearly a year and a half old. In our terrible conditions, My son Muhammad contracted hepatitis from drinking contaminated water, and both he and Sham are deprived of their right to register in kindergarten, daycare, or other educational institutions. Additionally, due to the circumstances and lack of income, necessary benefits like milk are not provided to baby Ghazal.

With that, my husband's livelihood ha been completely destroyed since we are no longer entitled to work; and we expect to live under miserable conditions in tents in Mawasi Khan Yunis. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in Gaza; with no food, no medicine, no clean drinking water; with oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, doubts, and daily traumas caused by everything around us and inability to care for loved ones. the fear of danger, disease and death never leaves us.

Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my children, by getting us out of Gaza or helping us have money for medication or other necessities we may have access to. Asking for help is not easy, but we were left with no choice because we want to survive and we strive to rebuild our broken lives. We are very grateful for any help you can provide, no matter how small, as your help will contribute greatly to alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends."
