My fav chapter
I keep seeing Miss Pauling and Chell interactions. But everyone is sleeping on the Caroline and Miss Pauling and Judith Mossman friend group. Ladies who can and will kill you with their bare hands but actually just want to have a long nap and do something fun and worthwhile. They could live together and do each other's nails. They could gossip together and watch baking shows and yell death threats at the screen and be happy together. Imagine.
Thinking about Blue Sky from Eaden’s perspective in general is really comical actually. Like just imagine: everything’s perfectly normal, la-dee-dah, just your bog-standard day in a post apocalyptic rural town, when that quiet somewhat-mysterious girl who works at the bakery just DISAPPEARS one day without any warning whatsoever– Aaron was literally JUST at her house talking to her a minute ago, and then suddenly nothing! She’s just gone, out of nowhere! Then, the next time you see her is like two days later and she’s been shot in the side and is bleeding profusely, unconcious, and being carried back into town by this darty-eyed human coat rack with a British accent, who you have literally NEVER seen before in your life, but he somehow seems to know Chell pretty well. Neither of them give you any explanation for what on earth happened either- she just completely shakes it off and goes on with her business with the Tenth Doctor here in tow. And boy is he a piece of work, too! Constantly jumping at shadows, acting like he has no idea how to use his arms or legs like he’s only had them for five minutes, talking about things like “anatomical parameters” and “audial processors” and “management rails”, yet he doesn’t know what a dog is. Like, who even IS this guy?! Well whoever he is, Garrett gets him roped into the Foxglove project and– wait what is he doing up there? WHAT DID HE DO IT’S WORKING WE’RE GETTING RECEPTION HOLY CRAP!! Par-taay~!!! And then the next thing you know you wake up in this hotel room or whatever, no idea where the hell you are, with this guy’s voice over an intercom telling you to please remain calm and not leave your rooms because you might be really high up and??? Chell and Garrett go in?? And come back carrying him, passed out, wearing Garrett’s shirt and nothing else… covered in this wierd goo…???

oh my goodness yes
U should draw Wheatley and Chell dancing to some tunes
Wheatley didn't fully understand which songs were good for pulling your partner away from her work to have a romantic sway about the kitchen and which were not, all he really knew was that when something was catchy it was hard to resist the urge to take Chell's flour covered hands in his own and spin around the room. For her part, she was getting used to- enjoying, even- the routine of dancing to an increasingly bizarre set of songs, the current one about a well named bull frog included on that list.

I really really wanted to draw a picture with perspective...
...and I really wanted to draw a complex picture with an episode from the fic! also wanted to create the “wow how high man alive” feeling. hope it's working.
I also completed half life 2 (legendary), and it's episodes. now I plan to draw something on this topic, maybe with gordon and alyx?
curly's dialogue from the last one and then another (the how fish is made dlc used to promote mouthwashing), because i feel like it's an interesting insight:
it's easy to get on this boat when you have to. you say to yourself, this is just temporary. just until i get what i need. got bigger things planned! then suddenly you're one year in, five years. ten. first i couldn't stand the constant, constant noise. now i can't sleep without it. a lot of things can't follow you out here. but it also means the outside world moves on without you. won't even notice until it's too late... easy to get on, hard to leave.
do you want to hear a joke? three men are in the hospital. the first man cries "i lost both my hands, they told me i'll never work again!" - the second man wails "i lost both my legs, they told me i'll never work again!" - the third man? he rejoices "i lost my hearing, they'll never be able to tell me i'm fired again!" hahahah! good one, huh?
next comes spite. first it stares back at you in the mirror. then it's those around you. they're wearing your face, and you theirs... you know. he joined because of me. what were the words i used? ah, right. "it's a great opportunity. easy money, just a trip or two." someone else's words in my mouth. hey, worked on me as well, right? change hurts, but worse things fester for a long time. i told him as much. i tried, i really did. we're defined by our past, but not slaves to it. we said tomorrow will be different. today would be the last day. the last one. the last one and then another. and another, and another, and another...
