sure, being a rebel acting as a metrocop was awful, but it was your life for years and years. eventually the brutality and violence became apart of the routine… and then suddenly you’re free from that routine.

i’m inclined to believe that barney was thankful for what gordon did, but it had to be beyond stressful to see the life you’d built up crumble that easily. no more safety nets, no more extra rations, no way to inform your friends of raids. his role in the rebellion, and specific use to them was gone.

on the subject… the rebellion probably was a quiet, underground affair pre gordon returning (which fascinates me in a lot of ways that are beyond the scope of this post) and barney as a character seems to be okay with this sort of flow. that’s not to discredit him, the man can very clearly hold his own, but blue-shift is basically “escape black mesa without anyone noticing” simulator, and his role as a spy is in a very similar ballpark to that. i don’t know if he ever intended to be a, ‘public figure’, but gordon sort of forced him in a position where he had to be.

there was no possible return to ‘normal’ life or society for barney because of gordon,

if you think people having boundaries about the way THEIR OWN WORK IS USED is wrong please LEAVE MY BLOG 👎👎👎👎👎👎

people with these dumbass opinions are the exact reason minors are scared to post their original works online now of days. i know personally i have not been public about my creations cause some of you weirdos do not have boundaries and treat people and their works as “content” and “creators”.

your favorite artists oc is not owned by some mega corporation. stop being parasocial. go touch some grass and realize how insane it is to want to violate a random person You Don’t Know.
