Fine. The Furry Roster, part 1 of however many parts it takes: All the Gordons are cephalopods. Reasoning: Freeman's deep sea thing + Swap's tentacles + Doc is strange and bizarre + Freeman compares Loverboy to a cuttlefish in Act 1 + Literal Actual Octopus "Gordon". Freeman/Storyteller: Architeuthis/Giant Squid Swap/Overlord: Vampire Squid (they're really weird AND the vampire thing) Doc/Hypnos: Firefly Squid (those fuckers GLOW) Player/Power Trip: Blue-Ringed Octopus (chill but also dangerous) Gordon B/Leading Light: Cuttlefish Seven/Last Resort Gordon: Giant Pacific Octopus Worldstop crew: Malcom Challender: Unicorn (something something his ability to manipulate Source seemed magical to the AI? Really it's just because our Malcom fictive has a ponysona but no actual fursona) Darnold: Pitbull (seen as aggressive but tend to be sweethearts; very loyal) Benrey/"Forzen": Blue dragon sea slug / garden snail (Benrey is a slug, but his Forzen disguise is quite literally him retreating into his shell) Y2KVR crew: Benrey (also Loveletters Benrey): Heterometris spinifer/Giant blue scorpion (for obvious reasons + they're blue) Spork (also Valentine): African Gray Parrot (They're smart as FUCK) Coomer/Lovetap: Mantis shrimp Bubby/Dr. Feelgood: Fire salamander Forzen/DJ Heartbeat: Mongolian death worm (this is not a real animal, however, they are supposedly attracted by rhythmic thumping similar to a heavy bass beat) Darnold/Smooth Operator: Cinnabar chanterelle (yes, the mushroom. Consider the emails to be similar to the mycelial network. I know this is getting weird. It will get weirder.) Tommy/I Don't Remember His Lovecore Name: Common crow The Restrictor: Raven (Half-Life G-Man is associated with ravens sometimes)

More will come soon.

Furry Roster Part 2 Of Something:

Admins: Admin C: Tri-color Monitor Lizard G-Man: Komodo Dragon Da Boss: Blue Poison Dart Frog Admin F: Blue jay (Like a blue jay, most of his aggression is a bluff; he's loud and abrasive, but doesn't actually want to fight) Admin P: Praying Mantis (green and can sort of punch things) Admin Darnold (he is mentioned one time in Act 1): Clownfish (orange + Darnold is mentioned to have been taking care of Joshua, which made us think of Finding Nemo because of the whole parental figure thing? Mostly going on vibes because we know nothing of him.)

Mad Science Team: Sleepless: Canada Goose (Acts like an asshole most of the time + Canada + probably loud as fuck) Harold: Protogen (it's MY furry AU and *I* get to choose the species. AND Protogens are COOL) Electrobubby: Electric eel (duh) Politerey: Duck (mostly because we are a Benrey and Forzen siblings truther) Project Coolatta: Lace Monitor Lizard The Old Man: Lace Monitor Lizard (they're monitors to call back to a certain other father-son duo, but unlike GVRV and C, they're the same species to represent them NOT being estranged)

Merch Team/The Last Resort: The Party Pontiff: Mantis shrimp Wheels: Okay so you know how people make anthro planes? That but a Greyhound bus. Yes he still drives an actual bus. I told you last ask that it'd get weirder! Tommy Bahama: Marine iguana (He does the beach tour IIRC. Plus I wanted him to be a lizard like some of the other Tommies.) Dr. Perky: Golden orbweaver (laser grid = spiderwebs, plus golden/orange color scheme) The Bellhop: Tropical leatherleaf slug (Vibes only. Plus he can retract one of his eyestalks to fit the one-eyed thing.)

???: Barney Calhoun: Harbor Seal Alyx Vance: Leopard/Deer (based on our pre-existing furry!Alyx. Eli is a deer, and she wears a little headband with some of his shed antlers on it.) Capital M: Changeling (think MLP. What do you mean that's just the ponysona that I got assigned by the system. I don't know what you're talking about.)"

can u tell me abt Half Life....*looks at you with the widest shimmering eyes*

*STARES BACK INTENSLY*

Ok so it is a game series by Valve where you (mostly) play as a theoretical physicist named Gordon Freeman. He worked at a top-secret science facility called Black Mesa and they were experimenting on a crystal from a border world planet called Xen and ended up accidentally ripping a portal open to Xen (it was called the Resonance Cascade), and Gordon (And a security guard named Barney Calhoun and two other theoretical physicists named Colette Green and Gina Cross and a HECU Marine named Adrain Shephard) had to fight the aliens had to come through. Also everyone but Adrian also had to fight the HECU marines because they HECU are there to bascially go in and kill everyone and everything in Black Mesa if things go to shit. Anyways. Gordon fights everything and ends up going to Xen and kills the Nialanth which is the giant alien baby-looking thing which had every other alien under it's control, it was also the last on it's kind. So yeah Gordon kills it then the G-man shows up and is like "Hey Gordon. Join me or I'll let all the remaining aliens kill you" so Gordon joins him. And twenty years later Gordon wakes up on a train going to City 17, which is one of the last remaining urban centers after the Combine, a race of fascist aliens took over the world after finding earth through the Resonance Cascade and they took over the whole world. Anyways now everyone is kinda like. Under the Combine's rule. So anyways Barney finds Gordon and brings him to Dr. Kleiner (Dr. Kleiner is Gordon's mentor and science dad) and everyone is so happy to see Gordon! That's also when we first meet Alyx (she is my wife I love her) and Gordon gets his power armour back, and he has to go to Black Mesa east where Eli is (Eli is Alyx's dad and Gordon's old co-worker) and he goes to do that and Comine shoot at him. Oh yeah Gordon's old boss Dr. Breen is working with the Comine that's important. Anyways he gets to Black Mesa East and sees Eli again (Alyx is also there cuz she teleported first but Gordon didn't) and they hang out a bit (Eli's friend Judith Mossman is there too, she's important) before Black Mesa East gets attacked because SOMEONE ratted them out so everyone scatters and Gordon has to go to Ravenholm (We don't go the Ravenholm) which is filled with zombies and there's this preist guy named Father Grigori is there, he's chill, he gives Gordon a shotgun and they fight the zombies together before Ravenholm gets set on fire and Father Grigori runs into the flames because he won't leave his people. So Gordon is just kinda there now. And then he finds out Eli is at Nove Prospekt (The Combine's really big prison) so Gordon goes on a road trip to find him. He also finds out what Antlions are are also learns how to control them throught the pheremone pods the antlions have. So he gets to Nova Prospekt and tries to find Eli and fights some guards and antlions and shit but Eli isn't there! So he meets up with Alyx again and they go back to Kleiner's lab. They also found out Judith betrayed everyone because she hates Gordon for taking her job. Anyways. So it turns out an entire week has passed way to fast because of the teleporter mishap. And the uprising started! Yay! So yeah they decide to go to the Citadel. Barney joins them and they head to the Citadel, and Gordo gets in (Alyx got captured) Breen tried to get Gordon to betray his friends and but Gordon...didnt say anything, I am sure he is mute. Anyways Breen tried to contact the Combine and ends up dying, Gordon, Alyx and Eli escape, and the Citadel blows up then G-man shows up again and is just like "Just checking in <3"

Anyways that's just. 1 and 2. There are other episodes to Half Life 2 and also Half Life Alyx but my arms hurt

Round 1: Match 95

From the Combine Overwiki,

At the start of the incident, Harold meets with Rosenberg and Rosenberg's assistants Walter Bennet and Simmons. They formulate a plan of escape which would bring them past not only the Xen wildlife, but the Marines as well. Unfortunately, Harold is separated from his allies in an ambush, and hides in an office. Two Marines soon find him, though, and fire at him. Fortunately, security guard Barney Calhoun is on the scene, and defeats both soldiers. Harold thanks Barney for his assistance, but is too wounded to help him. He reveals Rosenberg's plan of escape to Barney, and then passes away.

From the Combine Overwiki,

Joe, also known as BoxCar Joe, is a Rebel who manned one of the Underground Railroad stations, in a boxcar with a Vortigaunt. He appears in the Half-Life 2 chapter Route Kanal. After the Vortigaunt gives a jolt to Gordon's HEV Suit, Joe opens the boxcar's door to let Gordon proceed to the next Rebel outpost, Station 1.

Description:

The leader of one of the most successful U. S. Marine long range reconnaissance teams during the Vietnam War, Andrew Finlayson recounts his team's experiences in the year leading up to the Tet Offensive of 1968. Using primary sources, such as Marine Corps unit histories and his own weekly letters home, he presents a highly personal account of the dangerous missions conducted by this team of young Marines as they searched for North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong units in such dangerous locales as Elephant Valley, the Enchanted Forest, Charlie Ridge, Happy Valley and the Que Son Mountains. In numerous close contacts with the enemy, the team (code-name Killer Kane) fights for its survival against desperate odds, narrowly escaping death time and again. The book gives vivid descriptions of the life of recon Marines when they are not on patrol, the beauty of the landscape they traverse, and several of the author's Vietnamese friends. It also explains in detail the preparations for, and the conduct of, a successful long range reconnaissance patrol.

Review:

Finlayson has a very particular point of view on the war, and warfare. Throughout the book, he is constantly made aware that his actions and behaviors are both dangerous and obsessive. Yet, even though he acknowledges it, and says he takes it to heart, he still has the narcissistic bent to ignore them and feel that his way is the right way.

That’s both a positive and a negative.

His teams brought the war to the enemy and were immensely productive as far as kills and intelligence gathered. At the same time, they were in many ways reckless and dangerous.

God loves a fool and who dares wins are basically how he operates.

Overall though, the book gives you great insight into HIS way of running recon teams, and how Team Killer Kane/Swift Scout operated, the gear they took, the places they operated in, and who the people were. His writing style is quick paced and gives you a good sense of his thoughts and emotions and allows you to understand where his head was at and what he experienced.

While there were a few errors, especially in regards to keeping track of a persons rank (one page they’re corporal, next they’re a sergeant), and the weapons (carrying my m-14, and had 5 magazines of 5.56mm), the book is well done.

Last, Best Hope

(2.2k)

@_proletkvlt 12/28/2022

Cws: snuff, CNC, murder, gross dicks, Demon violence, all the classic Millennium Penance goodness

20:17

San Diego, California, West Coast Military District

When Hell came for the East coast, the Marine Corps were moved from Quantico to San Diego, riding the wave of America’s single-largest recruitment drive in history; indeed, many Americans were so eager to bring the fight back to Hell that the armed forces found it somewhat difficult to sift through the sheer number of applicants for suitable candidates.

That changed with you and your comrades, however. You’d been somewhat famous, indeed – the world was watching when Squad 118 successfully held off a Demonic incursion into Boulder, Colorado – yet the height of your popularity was yet to come.

President Harris herself signed off on Operation Yellow Rose, your assignment, and it’s been sealed, top-secret, until today. Sure, you were already some of the best of the best, the dozen or so of you sitting in the stuffy room, but this was a mission unlike any other – and as such, more than three months of specialized training and drilling were needed before such a delicate task could be even considered.

Sitting beside you, in one of the little plasticky desks, was Amy Calhoun – the prettiest Marine you’d ever seen. Sure, the two of you weren’t exactly dating yet; you’d fooled around, enjoyed each other’s company plenty, certainly, but you were reluctant to make it official. You just weren’t sure if she felt the same way towards you – hard to tell, these days.

“In all my years, I’ve never been more proud of a room full of Marines.”

Staff Sergeant Mayweather stands at the front of his class, decked out in his dress uniform and innumerable service medals which jangled loudly whenever he took a step on his prosthetic leg. He was a hulk of a man, the chiseled ideal of a United States Marine; his short hair effortlessly complemented the scar running up his forehead, catching the dancing light of the overhead projector that hummed quietly in the dimly-lit room.

He gives his characteristically-sharp salute, taking in a deep, satisfied breath.

“You’ll be moving out from Barstow tomorrow at oh-three-hundred. It’s a two-hour flight in the Chinook and you’ll be hoofing it from there – not that you boys and girls need the recap.” He smiles warmly, and you smile back as your compatriots rise from their desks and salute.

Indeed, those were the simplest parts of your instructions. The full details were a good bit more difficult; you were tasked with securing the town of Odessa as a forward operating base for the eventual recapture of the Texas oil fields, a critical lifeline to the American effort’s dwindling fuel reserves. From your (admittedly, spotty) intel, the border with New Mexico was the least-defended of all; it’d be an uphill fight, but if you struck surgically you’d have a great chance to put your name down in the history books as one of the chosen few who gave everything to America – to humanity, even – to repel the onslaught of Hell.

“Semper Fi,” Mayweather says, “and give ‘em the Texas-style asskicking they’ve got coming.”

“HOO-RAH!”

When you return to your barracks for a much-needed rest before your departure to Barstow and beyond, the mood is so jovial you could cut it. Hope was a precious resource, it felt, especially lately; ‘27 was an awful year, and so far, ‘28 hasn’t been any better – but for the first time since the war with Hell began, you and your fellow Marines felt optimistic. It was the big payoff to years of grief and torment, to uncountable nights spent wallowing in despair like so many others did.

Amy – well, Corporal Calhoun, you should call her – sleeps in the cot just above yours. She climbs up to her bunk with a smile across those dimpled cheeks you loved so much, so beautiful beneath her short, reddish hair. For a moment, she looks as if she motions to say something, but catches her tongue in her mouth, a big blush spreading across her face.

“…what’s that about, eh?” you ask, teasing her a bit with your tone. She blushes harder, sighing, before slumping down into her pillow overdramatically.

“It’s – ah, why don’t I tell you when we get back, huh? I don’t wanna raise the stakes any higher than they are!”

She giggles, and wishes you goodnight. You do the same, settling in beneath your blanket with a long, deep breath, an inkling of her intentions teasing the hidden part of you that so eagerly wanted to kiss her.

05:41

Somewhere above the deserts near Carlsbad, New Mexico

Every plan, to some degree, relies on assumptions. Ideally, assumptions are minimized through study, experience, and research, and in many fields, this is a trivial process – less so in the art of war, and when war with the supernatural forces of Hell was concerned, there were some things that were truly unknowable.

The Corps thought it would be safe to assume, after eight years of almost strictly ground-based warfare, that the Demons possessed no capacity for powered flight – and for more or less the entirety of the defense and reclamation campaign, their assumption was shown to be sound.

All twelve of you are sitting side-by-side in the back of the Chinook, holding your rifles close as you chit-chatting about various, meaningless tidbits. Amy and you are recapping the last season of a Netflix show you were both watching before the Internet broke a few years back, shit-talking the misremembered plot points.

A loud bang rips through the Chinook. Before any of you have the chance to so much as scream, another slams into the side – and the entire back half of the helicopter is torn away in a violent explosion. In an instant, four of your twelve squadmates were dead, reduced to little more than pinkish mist in a burst of flame and smoke. The fifth, your machinegunner Kevin, is sucked away by the pressure, his parachute ripped off his back.

“They’re coming back around! Mayday! Mayday! HQ, they – t-they’ve got planes!”

You can barely even hear the pilot over the whoosh of air, but another, far louder sound rips through the heavens and rattles your headphones. No more time to panic; Amy looks at you in terror, and speaking silently through your motions, you grab her by the hand and rip away your seatbelts. In a few seconds, you’re whisked from the Chinook and into the howling air.

Something screams as it flies past the two of you, barely missing Amy as she tumbles down the near 17,000-foot drop. The moonless night was meant to be the perfect cover for your transport, but it also conceals your attacker; whatever it was, only the exhaust, bright-red and angry, is visible against the dark sky. When it swoops back around for another pass, you realize with horror what it is – a jet fighter, unlike any design you’d seen, yet unmistakably a jet fighter.

Its unseen rotary cannon obliterates the front half of the Chinook’s slowly-falling carcass, catching one of the three remaining Marines in the ensuing blast as they attempt to bail out. Burning wreckage cascades to Earth like shooting stars; you and Amy are forced to dart around and through it, falling some ten thousand feet before you made it far enough away to deploy your chutes without fear of them being torn to scraps.

She floats alongside you in the dark, dangling from her cables like a marionette. Neither of you had a light, your equipment destroyed with the rest of the chopper, relying on the stars themselves to give you enough to see – to say nothing of the fact that your radio communications were lost,

Neither of you say anything. The words desperately fight to escape, but a grim weight, far heavier, keeps your lips firmly sealed. In the whooshing of air, there is silence.

“...I thought it would’ve been nice to go on a date when we got back. Y-You know, to celebrate.”

You don’t respond to Amy save beginning to sob.

The Sun comes up at some point, somewhere in the corpse and metal-strewn desert.

A boot presses against the side of your head and your eyes shoot open.

“Khav.”

They’re easy to identify; Demons, at their best, sounded like they smoked a pack a day their entire lives. It clears its throat.

“Up,” it says, in a clumsy mockery of English pronunciation, “wretched animal.”

Your head is throbbing violently. Every single limb hurts as if it’d been ripped off and used to bludgeon you before being reattached. The parachute is tangled around you in multiple shredded pieces, colorful strands stuck to a nearby saguaro. You clutch your head as you sit upwards – coming face-first into a rigid, dripping Demonic cock, staring out at you from between a black trenchcoat that sways in the warm desert breeze. It’s wearing a hood of some kind, head hidden beneath a black shawl, gripping the long handle of one of their customary gun-pikes. Behind it, a motorcycle, of their unsettling, pseudo-biological make.

Your breath skips, which the Demon notices – and grins, mouth filled with pearly razor-blades.

“Oooh,” it coos, whistling a bit as it enunciates through dry lips, “thought you… ngh, not-alive, this jhaw-akh animal-tongue of yours…”

It firmly plants one of its clawed hands against the back of your head, which you realize is caked with dried blood. Stars seep out of your vision as the pressure is applied; you didn’t have enough time to open the drogue, and as such, you were almost definitely concussed – something told you you had bigger concerns, though.

The twitching appendage pointing at you leaks a disgusting pearl of yellowish seed, dripping like wet rubber from the flared, glistening tip and landing on your injured legs. It seeps in, the saltiness burning in seconds, the overactive sperm within the fluid writhing forcefully against your tender flesh like fizzing pop-rocks.

“Animal,” the Demon says, “you see, I am… collector of valuables. Yyvakh, we call you – treasure-beast.”

You aren’t listening. Your head rolls to the side, away from the hulking reddish figure before you, only to see another parachute crumpled against the ground. No. No, please no. Almost instinctively, you reach a hand towards it. Amy. Amy, please, wake up. Amy -

The Demon tugs on your head again.

“Listen my words – not many left for you.”

You don’t budge, staring blankly towards the pile of plastic sheets. Amy. Amy, wake up, please – there’s only one of them, and if the two of you could just…

The hand on your skull grips you by the nape of your neck like a kitten and lifts you off the floor, an agonizing, bloodcurdling pain as your injured spine is forced out of position. You can’t feel your legs, your feet dangling limp above the sand and dirt and sun-dried blood – yet even the pain pales in comparison to the Demon itself, the rippling alien flesh beneath the black robe rippling and pulsating like the twitching cock between its legs.

It pulls you in, about a breast’s width away from its torso, and stares at you with its myriad, glowing eyes. You’d never seen one so close, so detailed; its breath reeked of meat, ketones filling every exhaled lungful.

“You – you would fetch good price, little yyvakh,” the Demon continues, now pulling you even closer, so close you’re nearly kissing it. “But Legion Primarch not pay enough to bring you alive.”

It holds up a finger – bearing the same black nail polish Amy loved to wear. Amy. A-

“Still need proof of un-aliving, though.”

Your lip is trembling, tears absently pouring down your dirtied face. The Demon doesn’t even react, yet something seems to cross its mind just before it motions for the large blade at the end of its weapon.

“N’hur… Need relief before drive back – and you much more… assembled… than other human.”

It drops you to your knees with a meaty crack and forces the shaft of its turgid, equine penis into your face, rubbing your cheeks against the greasy length. The stench is something utterly indescribable, but it makes you want to kill yourself – and thankfully, the Demon seemed ready to oblige you.

The tip is forced in and it starts to fill you like a condom; if it weren’t for the nauseating thickness and viscosity of the stuff, the sheer flow would’ve made you think the Demon was pissing in you. Every batter-thick rope of its cum slams into the back of your throat like a solid metal rod before slackening and sucking itself down your esophagus through surface tension. You can barely breathe, as every inhalation through your nose just sucks more of the stuff up and into your nostrils, and soon, they’re completely caked shut – if nothing else, it spares you from the unholy stink of the dick currently fucking you, even though Demon cum wasn’t much of an improvement.

With a sudden, forceful movement, the Demon manages to force a solid few inches of the organ into your mouth, threatening to nearly split your jaw open with how wide you’re being stretched. The sun beats down on you, the heat of the morning adding to the deep humiliation reddening your overfilled cheeks. Minutes are spent like this, every second filling and stuffing your stomach with seed until you felt ready to pop.

The Demon pulls its slicked cock out of your throat, slapping it across your face repeatedly as it adjusts its grip on its weapon – bringing it up towards your face.

“Your best was not enough.”

If nothing else, it ends painlessly.

Okay, saw the tags—which fics would you make into original novels? Or, if it’s too many, top 5?

Hahah yaaasss

Okay, so obvi the ones that are tied tighter into canon (ie: Her Everything) as proud as i am of those stories, theyd be too hard to pull out of the canon events so!

-Classified Affairs (and its follow up parts) [Heather Dunbar]

-Heavy Hearts (also part of why i started rewriting it) [Casey Novak]

-Under Over [Joe Velasco]

-The Marine’s Girl [Abigail Borin]

The potentials are:

-S*gar M*mmy [Rita Calhoun]

-Playing with fire [Rita]

-Second Chair Spark [Casey]

Also low key interested to see if i could put together a collection of one shots (mainly the smutty ones, ya know? 😂) into a book of smaller stories. Like, group it by each character…👀👀

Half life blue shift main character

#Half life blue shift main character series#

Unlike the other Marines, he works with the increasingly distrustful scientists and guards in order to make it out of Black Mesa alive. However, during the events subsequent to the Resonance Cascade, Shephard finds himself separated from his unit and fighting for his life. Assigned to the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit (HECU) from the fictional Santego Military Base in Arizona, he is one of the personnel sent into the Black Mesa Research Facility to kill the aliens and silence the witnesses, especially a scientist named Gordon Freeman, the player character in the original game. Marine Corps Corporal, is the playable character in Half-Life: Opposing Force. Adrian ShephardĪdrian Shephard, a 22-year-old U.S. The fact that Barney owes Gordon Freeman a beer is a running gag in the series. He provides the player information in the first chapter, leading him to Kleiner and Vance, and in the end of the second chapter, he provides the player with his crowbar. In Half-Life 2, Barney works as a mole for the Lambda Resistance in the Combine Civil Protection Forces. In Half-Life: Blue Shift, the playable Barney progresses through Black Mesa to escape the events of the Resonance Cascade and is able to do so, in contrast to Gordon Freeman and Adrian Shephard, who are held in stasis. Initially, the "Barneys" were intended to be hostile NPCs who would attack the player. Scott Lynch, Valve's chief operating officer, lent his face to the game for use in-game as Barney in Half-Life 2.īarney's name stemmed from the earlier alpha versions of Half-Life in which the model for the security guards held a resemblance to actor Don Knotts, inspiring comparisons with Knotts's character Barney Fife from The Andy Griffith Show, which in the United States has long been a disparaging term for an inept policeman or security guard. Michael Shapiro provided Barney's voice in the games of the Half-Life series. Barney Calhounīarney Calhoun is the playable character in Half-Life: Blue Shift and a major character in Half-Life 2 as well as Half-Life 2: Episode One. His mysterious nature has made him an icon of the Half-Life series.

#Half life blue shift main character series#

The G-Man's constant appearances in the Half-Life games, as well as his revealing monologues with series protagonist Gordon Freeman, imply that he is of great importance and somewhat anchors the endeavors of the player. He plays the role of an overseer and employer, both observing the player as the games progress and pulling strings to control the outcome of specific events throughout the Half-Life saga. He is known to display peculiar behavior and capabilities beyond that of a normal human, and his identity and motives remain almost completely unexplained. The G-Man (voiced by Michael Shapiro) is a mysterious recurring character in the Half-Life series of first-person shooter computer games. At the time of Half-Life, he works at Black Mesa Research Facility, a facility in New Mexico, conducting nuclear and subatomic research. He is a theoretical physicist and holds a Ph.D. Gordon Freeman, Ph.D., is the silent protagonist of the Half-Life series and the playable character in Half-Life and all games in the Half-Life 2 series. This section deals with characters that appear in Half-Life, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, and Decay. Introduced in Half-Life and expansion packs
