After some consideration, admin has decided it’s time to put this blog to rest.
When we started posting in February 2013, I don’t think it was on anyone’s radar that we’d still be running it all these years later. After a long break, we were hopeful the new game would revive submissions.
For better or worse, confession blogs seem to have faded out of Tumblr fandom - the very few submissions we’ve received in the last two months have largely been repeats of older posts. The archive will remain here, so all old posts can still be read and reblogged.
As a reminder, we will not be posting any confessions with spoilers until April 24. Spoilery confessions can still be submitted, but we’ll hold them in the queue until then.
Confessions that don’t spoil major plot points for HL:A are still welcome! We’re looking forward to hearing from the fandom. :D
In order to give people time to play the new game, no spoilers for Half-Life: Alyx will be posted here for one month after release. Feel free to submit spoilery confessions during this time if you like - admin won’t be venturing into the inbox until they’ve finished the game! ;) - and they will be posted once the month is up.
Spoilers will be present after April 23, 2020, with the tag #half life alyx spoilersto allow readers to blacklist at their discretion. We’ll continue to use this tag at least until the end of 2020.
Confessions for the rest of the series will still be posted as usual. This post will be reblogged a few times as we approach the new release.
When I first started Episode 2, I thought the Hunter in the beginning was friendly. I didn’t recognize they were the same creature from Episode 1. It honestly horrified me seeing this thing torment Alyx like that.
I still hope some of the Resistance started hijacking the Combine synths, and reprogramming them to work for their side! I always wanted the Hunters to be friendly and I feel like they would deserve to turn the Combine’s own creations against them.

I’ve always found City 17 intensely nostalgic, and it’s the main reason I keep coming back to Half-Life 2. It reminds me of growing up in Europe in the last 90s/early 2000s, and it nails the look and feel of that specific time and place better than any other game I know of.
I’ve been thinking… What if G-Man had something to do with Dr. Breen’s deal with the Combine? Since Breen is clearly aware of him, there has to be something more to all of this.
The first scene in Anticitizen One when you enter the collapsed apartment and the TV plays that eerie siren song feels so much like a piece of my memory that I had lost. I’ll replay that scene 3 or 4 times every play through.
