my plushies speak to me

[internetskiff]

It's probably been discussed often how G-Man's voice actor interprets his pauses in speech as him experiencing multiple timelines at once, and there's something about that I find very interesting about that. It might just be me, but I feel as though over the course of Episode 2 and especially Half Life: Alyx, he has begun to sound increasingly amused and vaguely excited in each encounter.

In the heart-to-heart he has with Gordon, he speaks of the Vortigaunts in a tone that feels like contemptuous amusement. The delivery of the line "..but I had to wait until your.. Friends (heh), were otherwise occupied." makes me wonder, is he amused because of their past, or does he know something about them that we don't? In HL:A, it becomes even more blatant - he comes out of the dark with a smile on his face which holds for nearly the entire conversation, and he speaks to Alyx with an uncharacteristically mischievous tone.

I'm not even certain if we ever heard him chuckle before this. The closest thing I can think of is that stifled "heh" that comes from him when he refers to the Vorts as Gordon's "friends". His demeanor in the conversation gives me the impression that there's a joke of some kind, that the punchline is right around the corner, and he's the only one in on it. Alyx's employment might be the punchline, but it could also be part of a lead-up to something even larger. Whatever it is, I think he's getting increasingly invested in it. He knows the boiling point is yet to come and that excites him.

Donate to Support Khawla's Family in Gaza Crisis, organized by Abi Lass

My name is Abi from Lincoln, NE, and I'm raising money for Khawla and her family from … Abi Lass needs your support for Support Khawla's Fam

here's Khawla's words from the gfm page:

"I am Khawla from Gaza, 34 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to support her family of 5: Me, my husband, and my three children: Muhammad, who is 5 years old; Sham, who is 3 years old; and Ghazal, who is nearly a year and a half old. In our terrible conditions, My son Muhammad contracted hepatitis from drinking contaminated water, and both he and Sham are deprived of their right to register in kindergarten, daycare, or other educational institutions. Additionally, due to the circumstances and lack of income, necessary benefits like milk are not provided to baby Ghazal.

With that, my husband's livelihood ha been completely destroyed since we are no longer entitled to work; and we expect to live under miserable conditions in tents in Mawasi Khan Yunis. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in Gaza; with no food, no medicine, no clean drinking water; with oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, doubts, and daily traumas caused by everything around us and inability to care for loved ones. the fear of danger, disease and death never leaves us.

Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my children, by getting us out of Gaza or helping us have money for medication or other necessities we may have access to. Asking for help is not easy, but we were left with no choice because we want to survive and we strive to rebuild our broken lives. We are very grateful for any help you can provide, no matter how small, as your help will contribute greatly to alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends."
