MC: I have decided I am a snack. People are just not hungry.

Sebastian, under his breath: I'm fucking starving

Gordon/Barney/Alyx is really really funny to me conceptually bc it's like, two hot geniuses in their 20s who look at the 40-something smartass who hangs around and go 'yeah that guy. we both want him carnally'

From 2021-2022, this was an assignment where we turn characters into text.

Quite glad how it turned out.

Hello portal community

[fullofvalve]

I've been thinking very hard about Barney... rotating him in my mind, especially like within the 10 or so years after the res cas. I feel like he adopted some animal and named it Gordon LMAO I know this head canon has probably been done to hell and back, but le sigh we cringe on or whatever.

I see Barney as more of a dog person; however, I feel like a cat would fit better in this situation. Barney associating the stereotypical cat, a sort of cold/silent intelligence, with the front Gordon put on but realizing the cat is more like him in ways he didn't expect gets me. The mischievous, soft side that few saw, and Barney likely only seeing a few times, coming out full blast with Cat Gordon makes everyone miss the human Gordon so much more.

In my mind's eye, Gordon and Barney weren't extremely close before the res cas, like close and friendly enough to go get drinks every once in a while but not BFFs or anything. I see them getting closer, developing feelings a bit more than friendly, and then the world goes to shit before anything moves beyond LMAO maybe neither of them realized how much they cared for each other until Gordon is gone and Barney has to move through this newfound hell without him. Of course, Barney likely wouldn't have much room to unpack what he felt on the run, yet it undoubtedly would catch up with him on quiet nights. Grief tropes, something, something, that one quote etc.

The day Barney finds cat Gordon he's like this is stupid, I can't even care for myself right now, I can't take this thing with me (as he's picking it up and putting it in his jacket). Kleiner's all for it; cat Gordon's a light in the dark, so to speak. Naming it Gordon would have probably been a slip of the tongue thing, like the cat's being a goofball and jumpscares Barney in a way that Gordon used to or he had Gordon on the mind and he's like, "Dammit, Gordon!" The name just kinda sticks from there, starting as a joke but staying. Kleiner, once again, is supportive cuz... it reminds him of Gordon, too, if only just a lil. He also kinda sees it as a way to sort of cope with the assumed death of human Gordon, especially for Barney since he was the last one to see him alive... Kleiner associates more of the softer/goofier aspects of cat Gordon's behavior with human Gordon, though. It gets the two talking more, sharing stories of Gordon on a deeper level or something. Both of them walking away from these talks with a better understanding of what human Gordon meant to them....

Anyway, thanks for coming to my tedtalk. I did Not expect this to be so long. Sorry for any errors! I didn't proof read this LMAO

Stanley

Oh my, it's coloured! 🤩

Truly, thank you so much Stanley! Your colours are well chosen and I'm still honored that you would draw me. Thank you!

And thank you for the theatrics when presenting this. Everything is better with a drumroll on a bucket after all!

[peachy-doodles]

am currently dying because period cramps but i have 2 (two) drawing thoughts rn. one is what someone messaged me ty for that i love getting drawing requests mwah am giving you a kiss <3

TWO IS.......

UHM. SO YKNOW HOW IVE BEEN DRAWING LARRY AND EMMET ADVENTURES...BUT ALSO. THE DUMB GMAN IS LARRYS BROTHER BS? WELL UHM I REALISED I COULD COMBINE THE TWO....

(these are what im talking abt btw)

SO turns out Larrys fucking brother is the reason why Ingos been eebied.

How tf would he even explain that to Emmet. Like...

"Hi sorry yeah uhm. So your twin? Yeah my brother yote him to the past. Yes I also have a brother. No I have no clue why and I'm so fucking sorry please please dont be mad- do you want a rice cake? Here have a rice cake-"

(if im going all out with blorbos and crap why not mess around with more HL/Poke crack amirite or amirite)

Am imagining Ingo taking a deal with Gman to make sure it isnt Emmet who got sent to the past or something like... they both trip into the distortion portal and end up face to face with Giratina and by extension Gman but he makes a deal that Emmet gets to go free in exchange for Ingo taking the place of what Gman needs him to do and also for the price of his memories ofc.

Maybe Emmet gets hurt either before or after falling in and its a price Ingos willing to pay anyway just so his younger brother doesnt have to go through something so awful </3 idk am spitballing im done now im gonna pass out
