#the old man hlvrv

[spiderh0rse]

did some doodles of hlvrv characters today. Generally in love with all of the cast, it's always hard to pick people out to draw.

more B-Side<3

[villafordefeatedvillains]

HLVRV fans take my hand. I can show you headcanons the likes of which you've never seen. Take my hand. Doc and the Mad Science Team hang out with the literal actual Grim Reaper on a regular basis. Source: Trust me guys.

falls from the ceiling in the middle of the show stage and lands on the floor with a cymbal crash sound effect before the spotlight turns on to my crumpled form

GUESS WHOS BACK.

i found these a little hard to do much to since the Admins tron outifts are so crucial to their identity in the first 2.5 episodes & even in episode 3 they all have matching outfits, i felt sooo bad getting rid of that. we'll get to that in a moment

FIRST, NOTES UNDER THE CUT!

short notes since theres not much to say:

Admin P now has green pockets on his trousers & green fabric at the elbow like a pad

Admin F has a blue belt, shorter but sharper coat & slightly more of the blue trim

& Admin C has buttons on his coat & a locket (with a photo of Freeman inside it)

but

NOW FOR THE FUN PART!

BAM!!

ADMINS BUT THEY'RE CASUAL!

Admin P

whoops i dressed your space grandpa like an old man

•canon to hlvrv is the fact P isn't a clone hes a robot which means i get to add all the green parts to his extendo limbs!

•the gloves are because he goes around punching things and while these aren't nearly protecting as much surface as actual boxing gloves would, they do provide a bit of padding to his knuckles

•noticed as well that in most of his appearances P rips the sleeves off his shirts so i had to keep that in

•debated if Admin P would be the kind of old man to wear sliders with socks. chose against it.

Admin F

whoops i also dressed your other space grandpa like an old lady

•its probably a bit out of character for him but. the idea of Admin F, a Bubby, to dress in GRANDMA KNITTED CARDIGANS. like yeah all the cardigans he owns are still covered in flames and maybe a skull but its still a granny cardigan.

•other than that really hes the same old man who honks the horn at everyone else on the road when he drives.

Admin C

•C's locket remains intact yet now tucked under his overalls & with a photo of ALL the Admins inside

•his earring. is a coolatta.

•i almost forgot to mention his hair! theres a lot of 'Gordons are so stressed they all start prematurely greying' what about the TOMMYS? C ESPECIALLY. C has been through a lot of stress with losing his friend to his evil dad who then sent them on a multiversal goose chase! then having to face being trapped in nightmares by someone who tried to free his dad. THEN having to save his friends AGAIN from being kidnapped by ANOTHER evil villain in the multiverse completely unrelated to his dad this time. THEN-

i love adding additional things i don't point out, its like a guessing game i know all the answers to

[merklins]

Somewhere in the HLVRV multiverse there's an In Your Dreams timeline where the double-cross failed AND Doc was lost to his nightmare. Sleepless is horrified to find that he has unwillingly and yet undeniably become the villain. G-man wins. Friends old and new look on in terror BUT SLEEPLESS CAN'T TELL THEM THE TRUTH. He can't say it was only meant to be a ruse, or he'll lose what little ze has left. There's one upside: Doc is safe with Sleepless. There are too many downsides: Doc is consumed by her work and wants nothing to do with Sleepless. Ze risked it all to make things right and so terribly LOST. THAT. GAMBLE. Lost everything. His rivals are enemies, their love is just out of reach, and zeyre stuck as the ally of the man at fault for it all.

[evilneo]

HLVRV headcanon: Mad Science GMan is autistic and has his dark glasses because 1. Sensitivity to light and bright colors, and 2. he doesn't have to make eye contact with people. Doc has dark goggles as inspiration from the Old Man, though as it says on toyhouse, it's for times Doc doesn't want people to tell what he's feeling.

THIS IS SP REALLLL I LOVE THE OLD MAN SOOOO MUCH HES LIKW. ONE OF MY FAV GMANS EVERRRR :) also scoops Doc up <3

actually EXTREMELY funny that canonically gordon is just pretending while in game esp. considering the science team becoming self-aware like. i just imagine gordon sputtering and acting all weak because of his missing arm and blood loss and dr coomer is just like get the hell up you dramatic bitch i know you cant feel that for real

HE HAD A NONVERBAL MOMENT? can i get a link>???

i cant link it bc its like multiple posts but yea! it was near the end of episode 1 of hlvrv https://hlvrv.tumblr.com/post/628363730350129152/okay-uhh-give-him-some-room-it-was-a-lot-that

bc rescuing your guys from an evil old man when youre just some dude is a bit stressful

[sweetertangerine]

Do the war criminals know anything about Mothra's aus?

Yes, I think I briefly touched this on Day 2.

But, Fern knows about the events of HLVRV, Y2KVR, and even knows of The Reckoning (as you all saw). They know the most about that stuff. That's why when they found out whose ship it was, instead of being confused, they started taking things seriously (even if they didn't seem to).

Ritz is solely focused on the relationship side of stuff, if you ignore his Hunt for a Leading Light. Big Freenell supporter. Supports the old men being happy. Also wants the science men to be Happy. Platonic love is still love.

Vinyl is interested in hlvrv's main G-Man. She wants to find Brazil. Simply because she thinks she can. It's pure curiosity. Don't worry. She prolly won't find Brazil. ... Prolly.

Charlie is interested in Malcom's best interest, and that's it. He reminds her GREATLY of Beta Tester 02, and she genuinely just wants to see him happy.

And Gordon? Has no funkin clue what's going on. Therapy ship? Mad science man? Glowy blue bad dad? Wha??? Don't worry. Fern will 100% ramble to him about it.

[bbeeohazardd]

i just realized i never shared these BUUUUT more HLVRV B-Side(rp, not an actual ask blog), aka the Half-Life Full-Regret old men but young hehe

character order is Davidson, Jefferson, and G-Man!

[villafordefeatedvillains]

Yeah can you tell who my favorite characters in HLVRV are? Icons are all free to use WITH CREDIT. I can also provide transparent versions if you want them.

...And also some squabbling exes (+ their Old Man, he's having a bad time) icons! These are NOT free to use and if you try it I will bite you.

[villafordefeatedvillains]

♫ for a hlvrv episode 2 Gordon of your choice (:

Oh. You don't know what kind of hell you've just unleashed. Smiles back. Leading Light/The Pink Weasel: Okay he's literally just Applause by Lady Gaga. No need to explain this one but I will anyway. First of all, the Gaga connection to True Leading Light. Second of all, Applause is about how the singer is dependent on their fans loving them and how they're nothing if they can't put on a good show. I don't need to explain this any further. Dr. Hypnos: Just Take My Wallet by Jack Stauber! He misses the good times. He's a sad bitch despite his overconfident facade! He brought back his Team, Sleepless is his boyfie, but because Sleepless was never redeemed, there's a schism between him and the rest of his Team, one he fears he'll never be able to fix...Ah, shit, this might just be True Hypnos as well. Specifically thinking the lyrics of "Your mama's cryin' / Your mama's cryin' for you" (referring to how his Coomer thinks he hates him) and "What's the kindest way to say / You took away my friend, my buddy / What's the kindest way to say / The end?" (referring to how he lost his team, but then when he got them back, things weren't the same anymore between them). Power Trip/Hot Pink Bitch Named Breakfast: Problem by Set It Off! What can I say except it's harsh, it's angry, and if you read the lyrics it's about a guy in a toxic relationship. He wants to be free but keeps coming back to destructive people, or in this case, destructive tendencies. Power Trip doesn't know what to do now that the game's been abandoned. He's pissed off. He's been used, left to rot, and the only sentient beings anywhere near him hate and fear him in equal parts. This could also be the other members of his Team @ him as well! Perhaps a mutual hate song. Overlord: Flowers on the Wall by the Statler Brothers. This song was a part of our childhood and despite the goofiness, I think it fits. Basically, premise is that there's this guy isolating himself and keeping himself in a loop of short-term good things to distract himself, or at least that's how I interpret it. Sound familiar? Especially the beginning lyrics of "I keep hearin' / You're concerned / About my happiness". People are worried about him. Despite everything, at least some of his Team are worried for him, and he doesn't know that Neo was worried too. But he keeps himself in the cycle of hurting others for a short-term serotonin boost because he doesn't know what else to do. Storyteller: Deep Sea Detective by the Gentle Mystics. The middle part of this song is also a little silly goofy but the intro and outro are VERY Storyteller. Just take a gander: "Please take my hand and guide me / Infinity is living inside me / Go with the flow it'll guide me / Infinity is living inside me". Yeah. Storyteller doesn't know that G-Man is bad news. In his mind, he still depends upon the G-Man to do anything. Yes, G-man allowed him a little bit of freedom to exit the void, but more like a dog on a leash than anything close to the freedom that Freeman has. In addition, Storyteller's job is... Telling stories! Yeah, he does stuff for G-Man, but he tells stories. And a good storyteller has a lot of stories to tell... Maybe even infinite ones? BONUS ROUND! Me, since I feel like you know who my source is now anyway: It would be really easy to go with You're Nothing Without Me. So I'm not doing that. Instead, I'm just putting my favorite song on here and stretching myself thin trying to make it fit! Presenting Dogwalk by Creep-P! It's loud. It's angry. It's chaotic. It's perfect. Specifically thinking of the pre-chorus here, which consists of "Leash laws, bitch / I'll fuckin' maul ya / I'm an old dog, bitch / I'll show you tricks you never seen before!" And I sure did show the assortment of Gordons some new tricks! They didn't know what was coming for them, I'll tell you that. BONUS ROUND FOR THE BONUS ROUND: G-VRV, Circa Episode 2: The entirety of the soundtrack for the movie Rio. He's building his illegal bird smuggling empire and getting his tan on. /j

♫ uhhhhhhhhh g-man???

easiest answer here is the distorted trumpets from half-life 2 that play when he shows up on the tv screens... HOWEVER if we're talking hlvrv g-man aka this fucker:

art by year2000electronics btw then the song i associate with him is Blah Blah Blah by the Oozes (not from his perspective, from freeman's (yes pan i know you don't know what this means) main reasons i associate him w/ this are the repetition of "you've ruined the color blue for me" (his main color is a neon cyan blue) and the lyric "i'm surrounded by a deep dark sea" (freeman compares being stuck in the void that g-vrv controls to being underwater in the deep sea) lyrics that relate: Get out of there, you don't deserve that chair Take a seat elsewhere, you don't deserve that chair

You've ruined the colour blue for me I'm surrounded by a deep dark sea You've lied to us and honestly You've ruined the colour blue for me augh sorry this is so long but i have many thots and feeligns about this awful old man

[evilneo]

Love this Science Gilf!!!!

(mad science Gman/The Old Man belongs to @year2000electronics! Version without static below the cut)

Hey fun fact! The green I used in the background was Scheeles Green. I like to think he's immune to the effects of it.
