young boomer sad times... bubby does smth out of line and gets sent to his tube. but its for longer than usual, and theres a lot more pipes wrapped around him. n coomer probably has to Watch as hes put in there like a "keep him in line or else" kinda deal & hes just horrified at the scene. bubby is just yelling and thrashing until the effects of the tube fully kick in n he goes still. hes probably in there for a few days and coomer cant do anything to help.. (1/2?)

coomer is there bc they think itll probably calm bubby enough that For Once it wont be hell tryin to put him in The Tube but like its not this bich is STUBBORN and HATES the tube (its just so boring he doesnt like it bc its so Boring) like nothing will stop him from being a pain in the ass about literally everything

#frank.txt #buby says 'the tube is just boring as hell i fucking hate it' and that mostly means it just scares the Shit outta him small spaces r hell #partially bc of the tubes sedation effects and also just General Freak Out Moments he just kinda. #yeah hes just v hazy n empty n just Does His Work Thats It. is it tube? is it trauma? is it epic autism momence? well its all of them!:) #when coomer hugs him bubby just. he mumbles a bit. kinda unintelligible. but coomer hears a 'thank you' in there somewhere :') #usually after he gets over the No Thoughts Head Empty phase he just gets. unnecessarily grouchy. moreso than he usually is. #n coomer doesnt mind tho. he saw what the tube was Like and like? bubby is def allowed to be Angery™ after that. that looked like Hell

When he's alone, Coomer has panic attacks about him and everything else outside of Black Mesa not being real, but he doesn't want anybody (or any-Bubby, huhuhuhuhuh) to know about it. Bubby sees Coomer having a particularly bad panic attack, and tries to calm him down, but he's not the best when it comes to comforting others, so he makes Coomer a bonfire. All is good.

hdjdhsks ;_;

maybe its the first panic attack he has post resonance cascade. coomers tryin to process everything suddenly being Real or at least somewhat Real and its freaking him the hell out, bc he Knows what he saw, or at least Didn't See, so how the hell are they still here and how are they somewhere else???when 'somewhere else' shouldn't exist??? the panic attack is probably triggered by walking past a mirror or smthn and like. actually seeing his reflection. not just a shitty video game texture - a Reflection. and the juxtaposition of things being Real and things being Not Real freaks him the hell out and hes Instantly in panic mode. vertigo and dizzy and cant breathe, etc. a Really bad panic attack.

bubby cant comfort worth sHIT like he tries but its. pretty hard. hes good at comforting when ppl are like, bummed out, bc his blunt kinda-rude advice often provides a weird sense of comfort n guidance. but w panic attacks n shit??? dude has NO IDEA how to deal with his OWN panic attacks so comforting others during their own??? YEAH that's not gonna happen.

coomer probably asks to be alone tho, more of a plead if anything bc even tho bubby doesnt know how to comfort he also doesnt wanna Leave coomer alone. dudes hyperventilating on the floor, cant even stand up. but coomers Pleading eventually turns into Yelling, he Cant have ppl around rn its WAY too overwhelming WAY too fucked up, his brain CANNOT handle any of ths rn. bubby eventually does leave (hating Every second of it but coomer will be Fine. dude has a killcount somewhere in the triple digits, he can make it thru a panic attack)

abt half an hour later bubby approaches coomer again, and hes a lot more calm, if anything hes just very weepy at this point. kinda teary eyed n soft n NEEDING ppl around now that his brain stopped screaming at him. he kinda shakily makes it to hs feet n gives bubby a hug (th best post panic attack bear hug he could give!) and apologizes for yelling. and bubby probs scoffs at that like No Dont Apologize I Do Not Care Its Okay. adn he rlly doesn't care like bubbys got a thick skin if anything he feels more bad that he didn't really know exactly what to Do. besides, when coomer told him 2 go away it gave bubby time to go 2 th store n grab Smores Supplies™ adn he made a makeshift bonefire in the backyard. its just a good night of burnt smores, coomer remembering WHY he didnt eat marshmallows (melted marshmallow in mustache hell). bubby may not be good at directly comforting but hes really good at distractions n helping ppl get their mind off the things that are bothering thm.

after that tho i like 2 think bubby does research on panic attacks n shit. he KNOWS about them like from a scientific standpoint he knows what was put in the knowledge tubes™ in his brain but how to help someone thru them??? fuckn. no clue. wikihow How To Comfort People Pls Help I Am Socially Awkward.....
