WARNINGS: violence(obviously), drug mentions, smoking, and unintentional self-harm.
Thank god tumblr has a bigger image limit now because heres 25 pngs of a scene from the hlvraifm au agaaaaiiinnn!!!!
This takes place, obviously, in the same scene the first Passport Inspection mention takes place in! Aka the scene where Gordon gets called a nasty little sewage boy. Yes that still happened it's just implied here to keep things short LMAO
THIS SCENE DRIVES ME INSAAAANE THOUGH- it's where Mind's barrier between what he's saying out loud vs what he's saying in his head starts getting noticeably blurrier and @shineyfish wrote it SO WELL.
Sorry if the sign language isn't accurate- I tried to use references and make sure I got the positions right, if someone wants to give pointers lmk! :D
WHATS UP. SORRY THIS COMIC IS 15 IMAGES LONG LMAO I HAVEN'T USED THE NEW POST EDITOR YET SO THIS IS FORMATTED BADLY. Here's a scene from the hlvraifm au! It takes place not long after the scene where Mind was mean to Gordon about breaking his knee GFDHFDKSJ
THE BASIC CONTEXT HERE IS: Gordon shot at the skeleton that only He Can See, and Mind was already at his breaking point because his withdrawals were setting him off- so nausea with the sudden rage and screaming meant he got sick. He and Gordon have a talk! It doesn't go well(at first)!
If you want to see this conversation resolve itself, the rest is written by me and @shineyfish under the cut! Just read the warnings lol

incredibly underrated moment in hlvrai is where gordon admits hes never seen Gatorade before and “never thought he would in his life” and proceeded to take a sip only to black out for a moment from the ecstacy of it
This is a funny medical joke actually because considering he’s anemic, the electrolytes should be doing the opposite of making him faint. Which adds a lot to this
Gordon’s body has never been healthy in his life so when his four humors are actually balanced he can’t cope and blacks out

I've gone through the entire hlvraifm tag and also hit my post limit for today, so like. I have more questions.
Does Mind ever have to deal with the knowledge that he's completely cut off from his original universe? How does he feel about that?
What does Mind think of Forzen lmao
Do the science team minus Gordon have any particularly prominent opinions about Mind?
if Gordon ever heard about Mind's original thought that he was some sort of replacement cover up, what would he think?
Do they have a "Pirate Episode" 👉👈
RUBS MY HANDS TOGETHER. HOKAY.
Does Mind ever have to deal with the knowledge that he's completely cut off from his original universe? How does he feel about that?
@shineyfish's answer:
Ough. I don't think the reality of the situation really sets in until later acts at least for Mind, but I have been thinking about him being Cut Off for days now and not had the words to describe it. I think it'll hit first in like. Superficial ways for him. Just a realization that damn. He doesn't have his knife collection anymore. that slowly leads into oh dear god I can never go back. It'll be VERY fun to work out the kinks of this when we can >:3
What does Mind think of Forzen lmao @shineyfish's answer:
GOD. FORZEN. I don't think mind would like forzen once they all meet him I'm so sorry forzen fans. He's too similar to Benrey for him (honestly I think just talking like him would be enough to set him off at this point) + the whole Boot Boy Thing. At least Gordon's also kinda "KILL" about him too so at least mind is not alone <3
My answer:
WE ARE SO CLOSE TO GETTING TO WHEN FORZEN FIRST SHOWS UP. IM SO EXCITED HES GONNA FUCKING HATE THIS GUY
Do the science team minus Gordon have any particularly prominent opinions about Mind?
My answer:
OUGH GOOD QUESTION. For now I'll just answer what their opinions prolly are by the end of it. Dr. Coomer sees him as an angrier, smaller Gordon- but throughout the plot, his AI can read that Mind is supposed to be the player character...but he also learns he's not. So he doesn't target him very much but his AI is still fucky around him. Bubby respects Mind, for the most part. He likes that he stands his ground and uses his brain- he sees a lot of his younger self in the lad. However, he is absolutely still mean to him.
Tommy likes mean people, but thinks Mind can be a bit much sometimes- though that's just how it is when you're friends with people like that. He likes being around the guy for the most part, and is glad that he's there for Gordon. He likes to screw with him sometimes(the whole science team does, he's almost as easy of a target as Gordon). Benrey thinks Mind is an asshole and its really funny. He likes to screw with him but he also thinks his reactions aren't as funny as Gordons, and he doesn't like how much he rushes to just shooting him. Build up the bit more, man. C'mon. if Gordon ever heard about Mind's original thought that he was some sort of replacement cover up, what would he think?
My answer:
He's only heard a few hints on the situation so far in the RP, but honestly, if Mind came clean about it- Gordon would ignore it to focus on What Do You Mean You're Also Gordon Freeman. If they figured that out, Gordon would NOT fucking blame him for coming to that conclusion LMAO. Like I think he'd straight up say "Ok yeah dude I'd think that too. What the fuck."
Do they have a "Pirate Episode" 👉👈
@shineyfish's answer:
AVAST, TH' PIRATE EPISODE BE INBOUND. I CANNAE WAIT FOR TH' PIRATE EPISODE. My answer: I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED TO RP THIS. IT'S COMING UP THIS ACT IT'S GONNA BE SO FUCKING FUNNY I NEED IT SO BAD. Gordon might try to join him but be really bad at it
What role does Tommy have in this? I really like Headfirst for Halos, and if you're saying it's like that than, eee!!
YEAH TOMMY HAS BASICALLY THE SAME ROLE AS HE DOES IN BOTH HLVRAI AND HEADFIRST, However, bc Mind is much more of a solid grounding source for Gordon, his care for him post-ambush goes from "I DONT KNOW WHAT IM DOING AND IM SCARED AND AWKWARD" to "Okay well Mind is slightly better than me I just have to help where I can which is cool". He's also the first person Mind trusts(enough) to take care of Gordon when he gets too exhausted for it- AND he's the one who points out Mind is missing an eye in the first place (which Gordon was too out of it to notice).
Post-plot, he's pretty similar to how he was in Headfirst, though Mind is ALSO there trying to make sure Gordon is surviving and alive LMAO. But Tommy is sorta like. The only one Mind tolerates, too. Tommy and Mind are both so so so bad at taking care of a friend with REALLY BAD MENTAL HEALTH, but their tactics tend to be different enough that they fill in a decent amount of gaps(Mind tackles things head-on, meanwhile, Tommy is way more patient and easier to open up to).
Tommy is also like...an excellent source of helping both of them at first, because Mind needs eye surgery not long after the rescas and Gordon is Gordon. so Tommy is like. the guy who helps get prescriptions and groceries for them
Not really an answer to your question but I wanna say that Mind like. Is in agony post-plot when shit starts turning into a "love-triangle" with gordon benrey and tommy LMAO. his head is in his hands as he goes "dude please just kiss tommy please do it holy shit im so tired of watching you fumble around him"
