i think Bubby from HLVRAI could kill Macbeth

Yes, Bubby from Half-Life VR But The AI Is Self-Aware (aka HLVRAI) could kill Macbeth!

There are a couple of layers to analyze here, but he still qualifies regardless of which one you look at:

You could look at this from the angle that he is canonically an NPC inside a video game, and was therefore coded instead of born by an unknown party. This angle applies him for the Unconventional Birth Clause while leaving BPC completely ambiguous.

You could also look at this through the lens of the in-universe game's story, in which Bubby was a science experiment grown in a tube by Black Mesa, which is directly confirmed through the encounters with his "prototypes"- previous attempts to create the "Ultimate Life Form." As HLVRAI takes place in Half-Life 1, there have not yet been introduced any female scientists working at Black Mesa (later installments of the Half-Life series introduced female characters that worked at Black Mesa, but none appear or are mentioned in HLVRAI), so this angle makes the Birth Parent Clause much more plausible while still firmly applying Bubby for the Unconventional Birth Clause.

Thank you for your submission!

I know you've said that a relationship between a keeper/helving is considered taboo and shea obviously rejects us in the kiss scene. But will they continue to reject us? Does shea even want us in that way? Asking bc I need to know before I get too invested in their romance lol I don't want to play through another 1000 yr slowburn

Shea does resist the MCs advances at this point in the story. That's not to say they don't want to reciprocate, they just feel as though they shouldn't, for a variety of (very valid) reasons.

I don't really consider their romance to be 'slow burn', myself, but I think that the speed of the relationship might differ based on your choices--Shea is very reluctant/hesitant to act on their feelings, so more forward helvlings might see certain scenes sooner (such as the kiss/embrace). But if your own helvling is shy/reluctant also, well... you're left with two pining idiots, lol. Which has its own charms, to be sure, but the payoff will arrive a bit later. :-)

I didn't manage to finish everything in my costume before this cosplay event, but even with what I managed to do, I'm generally satisfied.

I had fears that the security might not let me through because of the telescopic baton: the knife was dull (I ground off the cutting edge with a grinder), but the baton was in working order. I don't want to spoil a good thing that has already helped me out a couple of times.

As a result, I decided to pull one trick. I packed my things in a certain way by tying metal parts - helve and chain for attaching my fabric cloth that depicted a swarm of insects - to a backpack with cockroaches.

The backpack was divided into two compartments, one external one, which contained cockroaches, and another internal compartment, closer to the back, for personal items. And that’s where I put the telescopic baton, as well as my other things, including a tin container with food.

Thus, I had a plan consisting of several steps and when the metal detector at the entrance triggered, I went to execute them one by one.

Firstly, I arrived almost at the very beginning of the performances, and the security knew that they were about to start, which created certain time boundaries for me and them.

Of course, they could have resisted and searched more thoroughly, but in front of them was a person who looked like a cosplayer and a participant in the show, who was loaded with a bunch of equipment, and did not look threatening (of course I thought through my civil image and behavior).

People usually tend to think stereotypically, and if your appearance and behaviors generally match their idea of a certain group of people and if this group is perceived by them as not posing a threat, then they will easily attribute you to it, without really thinking about some discrepancy in details.

I needed them to perceive me as a harmless, slightly weird cosplayer (which in general is true, but it wouldn't hurt to strengthen this impression so that it reduces the chances of a more complete search and the discovery of a baton, because they definitely wouldn't let me through with a baton).

And my plan worked.

The guards looked at me condescendingly when the metal detector beeped, looked at each other, and in a bored tone they asked me to show what was in my backpack.
