I love your Benrey design! Can you tell me more about his desing and about yours headcanon about him ?
Hi hi hi! My first ask! :3 I'll gladly explain my design for Benny boy.
Sorry if this goes off as a tangent, btw.
------ BENREY DESIGN ------
So, the way I draw Benrey took a little trial and error. My style shifts and changes a lot sometimes, and with certain characters it can be harder for me to find a way to draw them that I really like.
Personally, little, round headed man? pointy lil ears? I love it.
His hair has also gone through some changes in my style. When I started drawing him it was usually right at the neck/shoulders, then I started drawing him with just a mass of short lil spikey hair, and now currently we're in the 'hair almost to the bottom of the spine" length. I will always draw it as just pitch black darkness, and as scruffy as possible.
I dunno why but I absolutely love the designs of him where the shadow of his face is part of his hair, so that's what I stick with.
In his.. 'hair', are multiples of eyes and teeth, and the eyes often have their own expressions and emotions to them. Sometimes they just pop up somewhere and he ruffles his hair to make em go away.
I personally like drawing him as thin as a twig, but thicc boy benny is a very good hc as well.
When it comes to the Final Boss Benrey, my personal design for him is just this giant, vaguely human-esque inky mass of goopy flesh and eyes and limbs.
------ PERSONAL HEADCANONS ------
I don't have any full listing of my personal headcanons, but i guess now is a good time to start ^^
Please keep in mind these are just my personal headcanons, I like most hcs i find online but these are just my favorites to work with for art/rps
Benrey is an alien from Xen
Not only an alien from Xen but he also was practically raised in Black Mesa
He escaped confinement but didn't know how to get out so he just took a guard uniform to try and go undercover until he could maneuver his way out.
Heard about Gordon from other guards and scientists, so when they met he just decided to try and follow him in hopes he could lead him to the way out. The rest is history.
He struggles with speaking when he gets upset, and bonds with Joshua over this.
He loves Joshua to death, and bonds very well with the kid. They both like to harass Gordon endlessly.
He's pretty close with Tommy, they're pretty much best friends.
Personal clothing hcs for him is very much like he came straight out of Hot Topic or Spencers. I like to imagine him in shirts with psychedelia or mushroom themes. Otherwise, gaming merch.
He doesn't need to eat, sleep, nothing. But he likes doing everything human's do. He thinks its funny.
He doesn't feel pain much either, and can just regenerate/respawn or whatever when he dies. He ends up realizing that Gordon's hand won't ever regenerate, and that it was excruciatingly painful and feels extremely guilty about it.
Ship wise, I like putting him with Gordon (as i think like 70% of the fandom does), but I have grown a small interest in him and Tommy, or all three together.
If i think of anything else I'll add it to the post! If you have any more questions please feel free to ask! I'm also willing to draw anything mentioned here, I have the urge for doodles.
Thanks for the ask!~

[Start ID: 7 more pages of HLVRAI narrative doodles following a late night at Black Mesa for a young 20-something year old Tommy and Bubby's intervention.
Tommy peers up from the table at Bubby: "What're you doing to the, the, the vending machine, Dr Bubby?" Bubby snips a wire from the open panel of the machine before him and replies: "Accessing my Leap'n Lem'nAde stash, They don't just dispense them willy nilly, you know?" With a mischevious grin, Bubby adds: "Well..not if I have any say on that."
The room falls quiet as Bubby continues to tinker. Finally, Tommy pipes up, yawning: "How…long are we gonna be…here?" "Well, shit if I know," Bubby responds noncommittally. Barely keeping an eye open, Tommy asks: "Uh…wuh..could you hurry…up?" Bubby pretends to think: "Mm..why don't you take 40 winks and I'll wake you up when I'm done?" Tommy takes a moment to reply: "…okay, but you promise you'll wake me up, uh, after?" "Of course, I will!" Bubby says.
"Okay…" Tommy replies, satisfied. He begins to count down from 40, but stops short at 39, which makes Bubby sneak a glance at him. Tommy is already fast asleep with his face flat against the tabletop. With a lack of regard, Bubby slams the vending machine panel shut and yells "SIKE!" in triumph. Luckily, Tommy's out cold and doesn't even flinch.
Bubby reaches towards a vent on the wall beside the vending machine and reveals that his Leap'n Lem'nAde Bug Juice stash hadn't been locked away in the vending machine behind a complicated series of adjustments at all. He grabs a bottle and glances at the clock above the table where Tommy sleeps.
It's now 5:21AM. Bubby eases himself into the chair opposite Tommy's, drink in hand. "Oh well, what's a few idle hours?" he remarks.
While Tommy's slack and snoozing with his head resting on crossed arms, smile gone but looking much more relaxed, Bubby refills his mug with Bug Juice and takes a swig.
Bonus drawing: It's now 7:05AM and the both of them have dozed off at the table. Another scientist walks into the break room and eyes them with mild surprise while he goes to get himself a drink from the vending machine. But, because of Bubby's earlier random tinkerings to draw out the time and lull Tommy into slumber, the machine now malfunctions and shoots a can right at the unsuspecting scientist's leg and sweeps his feet from under him, sending him into the air. /End ID.]
EDIT: Bubby's voice: It's finally fast!

I heard you like g-man.... do you have any hcs
(Sorry for taking 2-3 months to respond i just figured out where to find submitted asks) but YES I DO 😈I HAVE MANY!!
These headcanons apply to pretty much every iteration of gman i guess. But mostly HLVRAI gman bc they’re my main fixation 😭😭❤️
—————-
1. GMAN NON BINARY SOMEHOW. bro uses all pronouns but probably uses he-him as a default because being masc presenting is probably good in patriarchal society on earth (boooo)
HE CAN SWITCH FROM MASC TO FEMME AT WILL, EMPLOYERS CAN SHAPESHIFT. HE USES IT TO ACHIEVE GENDER EUPHORIA HURRAYYY!!
But YEAHeah being an all knowing space entity i don’t think traditional gender norms really stick in his brain so they only align with them to make tangible sense to the average human 🚶‍♀️
2. (HLVRAI G-man specifically)
Gman is pathetic. okay, Saul Goodman levels of pathetic like if we think abt it they’re just an intergalactic salaryman that works tirelessly for the employers.
So as much as he’s mysterious and powerful compared to other members of the Employers he’s generally a very average guy. Swings his suitcase around awkwardly and shit. Massive dork. Hate her (love her), but the powerful impression he gives off is only ever used to show off to humans / non-employers.
The large speeches / monologues are just him trying to look cool and imposing to unsuspecting humans (sorry gordon freeman 😭)
3. Gman differs greatly to other members of the Employers because he’s kinder / softer than the rest of them. He shows a degree of appreciation for life on Earth and uses his powers to protect the smallest things even when they don’t matter in the grand scheme of things!! ( gman moving a snail out of the way so it won’t get crushed, putting a birds nest in a safe place etc )
I feel if the Employers did not limit their abilities they would cause larger positive changes with their powers!! ( I even headcanon that employers limit his abilities because he would overuse them for good causes, especially when the employers are dedicated to being a *neutral* party)
Their personal values also don’t align with the Employers AT ALL, they only comply to not be fired </3
As a result employers don’t really like him much because he’s too … nice compared to the rest of them ☹️
Again, this adoration for life is shown by him literally having a PET CROW!! I also imagine Gman ( and Employers in general ) have the ability to communicate coherently and intelligently with animals, so he honestly has full blown conversations with this pet crow when he feels like it.
They’re one of the nicer members of the Employers , even if larger actions say otherwise.
4.
THEYRE A HISTORY BUFF!!!! He’s been alive for … ages so i definitely think they have knowledge of history / evolution / events that he often dumps to either himself or anyone that will listen </3
5. I based this headcanon off something I read somewhere AGES AGO(I may just be hallucinating) but I swear it said that Earth’s atmosphere messes with them AND that he struggles with human languages because space language phonetics are what he’s used to.
So I honestly like to think his strained croaky voice is just a result of Earth’s atmosphere difference compared to where the Employers reside - he basically just has hayfever from Earth LMAOOO
So when he returns to space/ wherever the employers reside his voice is actually pretty normal and average and totes not croaky, and that the long pauses he takes are just to sound out human words before he says them.😭
6. HE KEEPS PICTURESOF THINGS HE LIKES IN HIS SUITCASE / TRINKETS,, (autism..)
in hlvrai gman’s case he has a picture of Tommy etc in his suitcase so he can look at it and not lose hope while he’s doing boring Employer duties. I genuinely think our gman is the most sentimental/sappy so ofc he keeps things that he loves in his suitcase / jacket pockets to be entertained and joyful 💖 he’s so not beating the loving all life on earth allegations
7. Gman neurodivergent. That’s the post. He got that space autism. I won’t go into detail because i can’t put it into words but he has an undeniable autism swagger ✅
8. Uhh.. clairvoyance, future vision, literally altering the fabric of time, time travel, stopping time, girly stuff like that. That’s all canon anyway but i just really enjoy how fuckin overpowered she is😭!!
That’s literally all i can think of right now, if i ever think of more ill probably post them or make doodles of them skjdkfjd
TLDR: (HLVRAI) GMAN IS A DUMB SAPPY PATHETIC INTERGALATIC SALARYMAN WHO LOVES HIS SON AND KEEPS TRINKETS IN HIS SUITCASE!!! AND THE OTHER EMPLOYERS BULLY HIM FOR BEING A SWEETIEPIE ON DUTY!!! And has a pet crow. Yeah
Tumblr media
and they’re transgender in every direction fathomable to man .. send tweet..💖✅
