[Giftverse!Half Life AU GeeBees]

So, college happened 4 weeks ago and I have been busy. I do have doodles to share! It's mostly gay people tho.

This is just Benry being around his brioche bread slices in this hot sandwich. He's their girlfail, lil' pogchamp, their catboi and they love him a lot despite being a fucked up lil guy.

Some paper doodles too (Benry being a cat and getting stuck on walls)

And GAY PONEH (Benry as a pony is called Passport who is a changeling and has three forms, four if you count his pre-reformed changeling form)

More coming when I'm free later.

PS There's a reason I named this version of Benr(e)y "Benry"

@runawayxrabbits (BattleBlock Theater)

Aw, Stone's acc ain't here, and @kearnhartsea (The Stanley Parable)

But they changed my online experience ^^

Reblog if you've made at least one friend because of a fandom.

How many times in HLVRAI did Benrey die?

Just wanted to know for designing reasons.

[thinking-outside-the-giftbox18]

Ideas I have but am too lazy to make so anyone can make it #4 - HLVRAI Frenrey Edition

I love drama, I love fluff, I love angst and I love whatever Frenrey has.

BUT I feel like if Gordon has/gets PTSD from the ResCas (and the Boss Battle at Xen against Benrey), why not the same for Benry who liked Gordon and sorta cares about the Science Team, yet gets his ass beat by all of them (and also being guilty of getting Gordon's arm cut off)?

So, I wanna see a fic where Gordon and Benry see each other and run away, he turns to see if Benrey's following him, only to see the guy running the other way in a panic. Gordon might be confused, annoyed, or wouldn't care because he's running away from Benrey.

This idea was based on this Chicken Run 2 fanart where Ginger and Melisha Tweedy/Fry see each other in a panic with a Text over them saying "Mutually Triggering Each Other's PTSD"

Did NOT expect to make this for Pride Month but hey! I made these Chibi Pride Catbois featuring GeeBees (Gordon x Benry x Barney)

Gordon - Tanktop (Achillean Flag, masc loving masc), Socks (FTM Trans Flag)

Cat Design based on a Cashmere/Longhair Bengal

Benry - Binder top (Demisexual Flag), Socks (Genderfluid Flag)

Cat Design based on Tuxedo

Barney - Tanktop (Demisexual(see Benry)-Gay Flags in one), Socks (Cisgender Flag)

Cat Design based on Tuxedo

And since this is the start of the gayest month, I'll also add the GAYEST Half-Life Freemanverse-Calhounverse AU I know:

GORGEOUS FREEMAN AND BEAUTY CALHOUN ^^

They were fun to draw but I didn't watch Gorgeous Freeman. I had headcanons based on assumptions, these two beautiful yet insane people are the way they are thanks to CrystalQueer Water, Beauty's pronouns are "she/he", is Japanese-American, and both Gorgeous and Beauty dyed their hair pink to help Beauty out of his depression (because they can be sappy while also sassy assholes). Beauty's design was inspired by @newtafterdark's Beauty Calhoun design. Also, I did something stupid and now I made an alternate character who is technically from the Gorgeous Freeman AU^^;

One more piece of art that is suggestive with some artistic nudity, so under the "Keep Reading" here's a cake that some idiot ruined and took the strawberry.

There's more on the way because I want to make this blog alive after long inactivity ^^;;;

So, Have A Nice Day!!! ^^

-Giftbox/Prince

Here's the idiot!

[thinking-outside-the-giftbox18]

So, here's my Ponytown Benry.

But I came up with a headcanon that in an MLP AU of HLVRAI, his name is PassPort (first name is Pass, last name is Port), and he messes with people about whether he's a unicorn, pegasus, or an alicorn.

So in the Final Boss Battle, he reveals who he really is.

Benry: but you forced me to be baaaaad, so i'm gonna be baaaaaad.

*que Epic Super Cool Transformation Reveal*

He a bug. Well, a cool bug pony because he came from space.

But I mentioned 2 forms because I also made a reformed changeling form for him for my personal story of Half-Life where Benrey is in a relationship with the actual Gordon Freeman and Barney Calhoun (or in mlp au, Sunfort Freemane and Barley BirchBear)

But yeah. That's all I want to show ^^

i am but a benrey looking for his gordon😔

[thinking-outside-the-giftbox18]

In spirit of The Book Of Bill, I decided to redesign how I used to draw human Bill back in 2018, I took inspo from Alex Hirsch's human design of Bill, I've yet to draw him smiling.

I want him to have triangles everywhere as his dominant shape, and his legs are biped for his demon form. As to why he's in a human form, it's for his husband, and no, it's not Ford. UwU

I will redraw Bill and Goldberg soon, and I have a story on how they got together.

This is Mr. Goldberg who is Bill's husband and Dox's bio dad (see Dox below)

2018 Old Art below, and sketches of human bill redesign (with barbie-ken doll nudity).

Old (2018) Human Bill Cipher design, ft. my Gravity Falls OC, Dox Pendulum.

More old cringe art of Bill with Goldberg, Dox, and Tony the Clock because Tumblr sexymen stick together (Bill and Tony have a sibling relationship, and Tony helped raise Dox with Bill).

Sketches for Bill's redesign ^^

GAZE UPON THIS MASTERPIECE THAT MY MENTALLY ILL ASS CREATED!

Lil' note: This Twilight roleplaying as Gordon Feetman is actually Sci-Twi because reasons ;3c

EDIT: To clarify, Rainbow Dash is Bubby and Applejack is Dr. Coomer

[thinking-outside-the-giftbox18]

So, I posted this on my previous post about my HL-HLVRAI AU with Gordon x Benry x Barney. To recap: In Giftverse!Half-Life AU, Benry and the Science Team have been in a simulation which is a re-enactment of ResCas for 3 decades (2000 - 2030), and 3 people had played this simulation: Puter/Computer, Feetman and the actual Gordon Freeman of my universe, latter of which helped Benry and the Science Team get out of the simulation.

And I did some more doodles I wanted to show. Well...Mostly Feetman just because.

Yes, I was inspired by the HLVRAI Gordon artists, specifically @callmepelos and @ladylunora

I changed the color of his glass frames to green.

When Feetman played the simulation, it is as what you expected from HLVRAI, but his and Benry's relationship is complicated as both seemed to have moved on but both have their moments of trauma and are healing from it as well as getting their shit together for everyone's sake. Feetman would be happy to hear that the Science Team are okay, especially Benry who has found two people who care about him and helped him heal.

Also, Feetman's right arm was cut in the simulation and his panic attack made it feel like it actually happened, but out of the simulation made him realize that his actual arm was fine and not cut off.

Bonus pics below "Keep Reading", but Feetman's shirtless.

WAIT A MINUTE!!! I RECOGNISE THE LOWER MIDDLE BENREY!!!!

THIS IS MY BBBENRY!!!!

WHY WASN'T I INVITED, BRO!??!? /jk /notneg

My god

[thinking-outside-the-giftbox18]

Ideas I ma- Okay, this one I want EVERYONE to see [HLVRAI AU/Scenario Edition]

BLACK MESA FIGHT CLUB AU, run by Dr. Coomer who later invites Gordon into the club. It's one where they let out their fighting spirit and are taught by a boxing expert (Coomer). It IS inspired by TADC FIGHT CLUB AU but I WANNA see Benrey in his fight gear and being super serious about beating the shit out of somebody.

Frutiger Aero Neil

I wanted to make another animation after I made the Luci one long before, and I've been OBSESSED with the Frutiger Aero aesthetic and knew just the character for it ^^

Edit: But the main story on why I made the GIF is I saw a picture of a bag of goldfishes and thought they'd make a cute pair of baggy pants and jacket, and it spiraled from there ^^

Making the GIF was a pain tho as I wanted the quality to be good to be seen.

But I'm glad it's done ^^

Have A Nice Day! ^^

PS. I go by Giftbox and Prince now ^^

[thinking-outside-the-giftbox18]

Would Benrey from HLVRAI [Half-Life VR but the AI is self-aware] be flustered when his flirts are reciprocated or flirted back?

Thank you for replying to my previous question about Gordon, they were fun and funny as I agree with all of them X)

[thinking-outside-the-giftbox18]

If Gordon Freeman from the Half-Life games was a band member, would he be a singer or play an instrument?

Please answer, cuz I'm curious.

Giftbox/Prince

[thinking-outside-the-giftbox18]

please tell me more about your au with benrey x gordon x barney

like I want to know how benrey and barney are specifically, i'm very curious

I am SO SO GLAD that you're asking about my lore/ship because I want to share more about my goobers and their universe!

Note: I do NOT know the entirety of Half-Life. I was making lore for my TSP (The Stanley Parable) universe which is a part of a multiverse. I watched HLVRAI by mistake when I mistook Benry for Barney and I just love HLVRAI and Benry that it’s hard not to put it in the lore.

About the Ship - GeeBees:

A proper love triangle where all three love, respect, and care for each other.

Gordon (he/him; FTM) is curious and everything about Benry fascinates him. Barney and Gordon are childhood friends and had become lovers after HL2 with Barney helping Gordon recover. Gordon would much prefer both his lovers safe and unhurt but understood that that'll happen once the Resistance finds a bigger base for shelter. Now, he stays at home taking care of himself and helping when needed, otherwise, he'd cuddle Benry and Barney when one or both are back home. He enjoys giving and receiving physical affection to his lovers and despises silence, so it's a blessing to have two lovers who make all the sounds they want around him. He was the reason why Benry sleeps between him and Barney after Benry warded off G-Man one night.

Benry is healing with Gordon and Barney for the better, he helps around with them and the Resistance base, and his affection is reciprocated and returned tenfold, it’s worse in a good way when Gordon and Barney proudly one-up Benry’s weirdness. He adores Gordon and is happy that he doesn't find him weird in a bad way and it does surprise him at first back at the simulation, but he grew to love his curious yet freaky nature of Gordon as he'd too learn new things about himself (like his true form(s), shapeshifting and purring). Barney and Benry just GET each other as they've experienced being left in the background and Barney could easily pick up Benry who is fine with being carried by hot people.

Barney had always been taking care of the two and making sure to not lose Gordon again, because of Benrey, Barney feels validated on his feelings and anxieties while also letting Benry help him around, though he does like to lightheartedly tease Benry. Barney and Gordon being childhood friends helped a lot on their relationship and meeting Benry somehow strengthened their bond as the duo became a trio. Benry and Gordon would pay Barney back for taking care of them by taking care of him too. Benry even helps by shapeshifting into Barney to take his place at Combine when Barney's unable to work. And when Barney's anxieties get to him, Benry can purr and sing some blue balls into his mouth to calm him.

More on the Giftverse AU and how GeeBees got along under "Keep Reading" cuz' this is too long ^^;

If you or anyone reading this has questions, reblog, comment/reply, DM, and even ASK me because I'd love to tell more! ^^

I have AUs for this ship, just to let you know ^^

What happened in this AU?

The interesting things that happened BEFORE that: 

Benrey and the Science Team (Tommy, Bubby, Dr. Coomer, Darnold, and Forzen) were put into a simulation that would later be HLVRAI.

Gordon and Barney are childhood friends who managed to stay in contact and meet again in Black Mesa.

After Black Mesa put Benrey and his Science Team in the simulation, they all were put into this sort of hibernation until a player arrived and dons the in-game HEV suit as “Gordon Freeman”. This happened 3 times, according to Benry, and the gameplay is different each time. Before being put in the simulation though, Benrey took and hid a master code of the simulation which lets him do whatever he wants with the map and story of the game. The first “player” (2010) was a guide who helped take the Science Team around the Black Mesa map, and Benry named them “Puter”. Sadly, Puter’s data and memory were erased to make way for the second player (2020) “Feetman” and started what we all know as “HLVRAI” and Benry changed the story and gameplay of the simulation because he thought it was boring.

The third player (2030), after the simulation erased the data and memory of the game model, is both Gordon and Barney who exchange because Gordon takes mandatory naps to recover from his PTSD and morphine rehab, and Benrey feels hope on leaving the simulation just to see them face-to-face.

After the events of ResCas and Gordon waking up from Stasis to Half-Life 2, Gordon gets together with Barney and maintains a platonic/sibling bond with Alyx, who then gets taken to Stasis by G-Man. Gordon HAS witnessed Eli dying, only to see him fine yet grieving Alyx’s disappearance (2020). That made Gordon DESPISE G-Man.

How GeeBees met?

Gordon and Barney reside together in the White Forest Resistance base. The apocalypse is nearing its end (2030), but Gordon and Barney are more happy about being a couple after so long. One day though, Gordon opened the door to G-Man who gave him an errand of the day: Play a game and retrieve something important, and as he appeared, he left suddenly. He also left a Playstation 2 console in a box by Gordon’s doorstep, and Barney helped Gordon set it up while unsure of what G-Man was planning. Along with the console was a VR set and a game CD with a blank cover and “Half-Life VR” written on the disc with black marker.

Gordon put on the game and the headset, he expected anything but a shitty yet semi-accurate environment that was the entrance of Black Mesa. Barney, who was behind Gordon and watching the TV screen, couldn’t believe it either. Gordon was starting to panic as he remembered all that happened during the day ResCas happened and Barney and Gordon were trying to figure out who was sick enough to make a game on the thing that started the apocalypse and what would they say to Eli and Issac. All their worries were halted after they heard a deadpan voice “hey. can i see your passport?”. And that’s when their lives changed for the better.

Long story short: Gordon and Barney take turns playing the game with Benry and the Science Team guiding them, Gordon’s worries about the game lessened when important events that had happened were changed into something more lighthearted. After playing the game (which Gordon and Barney didn’t want to do), Benrey managed to get him and the Science Team into Gordon and Barney’s shared phone before Gordon and Barney could figure out how to get them out of the digital space. 

After that, Benrey stays with Gordon and Barney while everyone else wants to live elsewhere around the base. It was tough for the Science Team to come to terms with the fact that they were no longer in a simulation and that the ResCas was an actual event (and also the fact that Benrey is meeting the ACTUAL infamous Gordon Freeman who he first heard from the researchers before he was put into the simulation) but in the end, they want to help the Resistance.

More does happen after, Issac adopts Bubby as his brother (Bubby being cloned from Issac), Tommy helps with retrieving Alyx and another OC of mine out of G-Man’s Stasis, and Benrey helps Barney by shapeshifting as him at Combine as well as getting to sleep between Gordon and Barney to keep G-Man away.

And this is practically fanon in my lore, but Giftverse! Gordon, Barney, and Benry get to meet their alternate AU versions of themselves.

Sorry this is too long, so here's Benry's "Gordon Freakman"

[thinking-outside-the-giftbox18]

My Little Half-Life VR: Friendship is Self-Aware PART 2 (Solo)

See Part 1

I made more because I wanted to draw Zecora as Darnold and Celestia as G-Man (and she's now called C-Tia, and as a joke, she's Fluttershy's aunt)

I ALSO realized that Sunset Shimmer makes MORE sense as Gordon Feetman, especially during her gamer rage moment, and that she did get mad at Pinkie Pie at one point who does like Sunset Shimmer in Equestria Girls
