ok quick intro that i’ll tweak and work on as time goes on! bloom is an hlvrai comic created by me, @asthecrowrambles :> it takes place after canon where gordon tries out therapy, adopts the hobby of gardening and taking care of plants as a healthy way of trying to cope, and over time heals. since this comic is focused on gordon slowly but surely overcoming his trauma, there will be flashbacks to traumatic scenes for him, such as The Betrayal and The End. they will be tagged properly, but content warning in advance for:

-blood/mild gore -guns -hand trauma -amput*tion (will not be directly shown but it WILL be there so stay safe) -in depth discussion of trauma and PTSD

if you wish to send asks please send them to @hlvrai-bloom-asks :D

i also have a discord for this! https://discord.gg/yhFvRxujaP :>

there is now MUSIC for this!! please Please PLEASE go check out this song by @w1tchysounds and this playlist by @sweetmesavoice :’>

chapter one

start from the beginning!

bloom permanent hiatus

hey there! i’m sorry if this got someone’s hopes up with notifications but i have officially lost all motivation for this comic. i didn’t plan it out well, and when my hyperfixation on hlvrai ran out i could not bring myself to try and power through finishing the comic.

if you wish to use the idea or continue the comic you are welcome to!

i hope you all have a good rest of your day! if you would like to continue seeing my content as it’s shifted away from hlvrai, you’re welcome to check me out at my main @asthecrowrambles here and on instagram. whatever you do, i hope you at least enjoyed your time spent with this comic, and thank you for all the love that it got while it was still going!

#this post was a long time coming#i'm not entirely sure why i procrastinated it for so long#bloom

I found an awesome hlvrai AU @hlvrai-bloom this morning, the art and story is so great and I’m absolutely loving it so far!! Check it out and the creator@asthecrowrambles theyre amazing!!! 💜✨

I thought adding flowers would fit the theme, so I found the flowers and plants around my house. I added lace and some fancy paper as well. (Fun fact the pink flowers are called Bleeding Hearts)

Also this was very relaxing to make 😚

(dialogue transcript)

gordon: i-FUCK man... y-you’re a, a paradox! I just don’t-HOW?! even if i wanted to go to therapy i-i’ve done some fucked up shit! besides it (therapy) doesn’t even WORK for everyone!

gordon:i can’t-i don’t know if i can take that risk...

gman: with the person i am thinking of, i feel that there is nothing to worry, about. legally, that is. they are informed of the. Un-Pleasant nature of the... resonance cascade, i think that you will quite like them mr. freeman...

gman: and i think...therapy might help. you, espeicially considering

gman: how you are a, er. very, VERY vocal  man...

gordon: well even if i were to consider this-which i am not-how can i trust you?

#note: be aware that like! therapy absolutely does not work for everyone!#some therapists and psychiatrists are not good#sometimes they are a good person but it just doesnt work#and for most they dont have the money to keep going to therapy#SO LIKE! therapy#works for some and absolutely does not work for others#so do research before looking into therapy? stay safe is what im saying#anyways ramble done comic tag time :]#hlvrai#nhlvrai#hlvrai bloom#bloom#comic#pg16#ch01#gordos feetman#gman#gman coolatta#digital art
