reimagining old pieces, as I often do :)

I've always known Gordon is 27 but I certainly didn't used to draw him that way lol....... he and Alyx are fucking baby, they should be at the club!!!!!

It’s nice to have something in common to bond over

Somewhere in the world of Half Life 2 is a grizzled old farmer who has converted their old tractor into a killing machine for taking out cops and soldiers and you know she calls that thing a Combine Harvester

Pros of re-reading your own fic

a good time;

Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;

Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;

just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

Is that another TYpO

Daily gratitude

I don’t have kids

I don’t spend money on nicotine

I don’t gamble my money away on sports

I’m not reliant on a chat bot for all my life functions

My books/CDs/DVDs collection is plentiful

Okay, which one of you fuckers reblogged The Post?

[deermouth]

anyone else ever think about how it's been march 2020 for over five and a half years

there are occasional people in my notes making this about general "mental health," or going like "hee hee sounds like you're in a time loop op" and i cannot stress enough how much this flippant post from 1:18am on a sunday morning is about the ongoing covid-19 pandemic.

I thought Tumblr would celebrate Dick Cheney's death more. I was a teenager during the Bush administration and MAN those were some horrifying years.

RIP to every Afghan (46,319) and Iraqi (210,296) civilians who were murdered in the Global War on Terror.

Rest in Piss, Dick Cheney. I can only imagine demons are doing to you now what US soldiers did to Iraqi civilians in Abu Ghraib.

"you just dont seem that invested in creating anymore" "youre not posting/updating as much as you used to" rampant fascist authoritarianism is making our lives collectively hell and unlivable

I am not being lighthearted when I say writing my stories and drawing my silly ass comics is literally all I have left in my life not to succumb to the Everything but im grabbing you and I need some folks to understand that some people are more focused on staying alive than updating their webcomic rn

your weird obsession with moral purity is degrading your critical thinking skills and poisoning your ability to empathize with other people btw

I understand some of you are 19 but that is not an old man, he's 32.

...Alyx getting her sneaky anti-cop defense moves practice in. XD

I initially saw Barn as kinda soft like a good chunk of fandom does, but the more tidbits I picked up, the more convinced I was that in the precarious position Barn held as a spy, it wouldn't do him much good to slack off. Any slipup could out him, and he'd have to be ready to defend himself or run, so it makes sense he's do his best to stay in shape. Post-combine tho is a different story. That man's gonna be like 'NAH, I'm doing yardwork' at most.

alyx and gordon calling each other my other half. it's a significant other, half life, and quantum entanglement soul bond joke all wrapped in one

Briefly resurfacing from my extended hiatus to bring you the sequel to The Darkness Has Eyes that nobody (okay, a few lovely people) asked for, three years later!

I'm not dead! Just drowning in work and existential dread. And somewhere in there, I carved out a couple days to write (or rather, polish up) a thing.

you used to be able to go onto a tag after finishing a movie and see all sorts of gifsets. now you have to comb through reader insert fanfiction. we used to be a society
