This's probably been said before but we need to talk about how the hell Gordon Freeman went through the events of HL1 and 2 without breaking down.
He woke up late and showed up to work like normal, probably expecting to just go grab a beer with Barney after work. When he went to the test chamber, some things were messed up but yk, "Gordon doesn't need to hear about this, he's a professional!"
So he was in the dark about everything up until the Resonance Cascade. Can you imagine it just being some random Tuesday and you accidentally cause the apocalypse?
He watched most, if not all of his co-workers die, whether that be from the explosion, the miscellaneous aliens roaming the place, or from the military running around and shooting everything that moves.
Meanwhile, Gordon somehow manages to survive all of this, kills a fuck ton of military guys, and ends up having to go to space. In the span of like 2 days he's now having to save humanity. So he does, kills Gonarch and the Nihilanth and whatever, cool. Then he meets this weird lizard guy in a suit who transcends time and space and whatever because why wouldn't he, and then he wakes up to lizard guy again and IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS?
So NOW he's gotta navigate this new dystopian place that's in another country, and on TOP of that, he still has to deal with the aftermath of the Resonance Cascade.
And on top of THAT, everyone treats him like he's some kind of messiah that's going to save everyone from the combine. It's been like 3 days, give my man a break 😭
Then he's gotta deal with this girl who was a toddler the last time he saw her leading him around and flirting with him, (but also kicking ass, no shade to Alyx) his best friend is now like 50 years old, his old boss is an evil dictator, and the end of the world is gonna happen AGAIN.
And then when he and Alyx somehow manage to destroy the citadel, NOW HE HAS TO DO EVEN MORE.
Anyway. Give my man Gordon a nap and a weekend to just relax.
Some Alyx sketches for the soul. Give my girl her socket wrench back!
This brush is kinda fun to use … also really have been loving drawing on a gradient background so much cooler than just a plain basic color
Don’t like the colors on Barney so I’ll probably change them later lol

...its been a rough 20 years, Gordon.
Well, since we are talking about the humanization of turrets, it was impossible not to mention of one defective, which was co-ordinally different from all the others-
(I love him very much😔❤️)
