Gordon is some of my closer CR and I've never had an issue with it?

Do you have any deets of Gordon doing this either in Smash or in other games?

in exsilium. gordon did this weird 180 in personality when he was around chloe, and then later around samus. there was also apparently some creeping with sonic on mystique but i don't have any deets other than it made the mystique player uncomfortable.

with chloe he seemed to fall in love with her too hard and too fast, worrying about her so much after only a couple of interactions and getting weird, like here: http://exsiliumlogs.dreamwidth.org/70093.html?thread=3773901#cmt3773901. i really can't make heads or tails of the end of that thread. why is he naked? just "nothing but skin" under the HEV. idk i've always pictured gordon as being more reserved and shy and not so eager to strip in front of someone, especially a pretty girl, without being awkward about it at all? during a bomb raid, no less? you could probably justify it in a lot of ways but none of it is written in the tags so it comes across as awkward and cringe-worthy. either way, it came across like gordon was trying way too hard to win her affections all the time. to my understanding eek sent the chloe player with a lot of pps trying to work the ship out.

with samus it was more or less the same thing. after only a couple of interactions gordon did a 180 and was doting over samus too hard and too fast. (and completely forgot all about chloe!) the samus played it out appropriately and pushed gordon away but eek continued to be weird about it on plurk. pretty sure a lot of pps were sent to the samus player, too. it was even brought up ic: http://dramaticshitinlatin.dreamwidth.org/17536.html?thread=6894464#cmt6894464

to complicate the matter, the samus and adam jensen player were also doing shipping stuff which resulted in the gordon player busting in their plurks just to be passive aggressive. i remember the samus player at one point told them to knock it off in front of everyone. it was handled pretty well, though? everyone stayed civil, but it was awkward. eek apologized a lot but i guess that crushed her hopes of a ship. especially since gordon moved right on and is now madly in love with morrigan??? i have no idea how that's working out but both of the players seem to be into it, so good for them. i also see the potential for gordon to be creeping a little on lara croft but i don't think its going to go anywhere, really. speaking of lara, there's also this: http://wankgate.dreamwidth.org/12796.html?thread=34421756#cmt34421756, take that as you will.

in smash i don't keep close tabs on him so i don't think he's creeping on anyone? there's a chell here, right? ngl i'd ship it a little too if its not rushed and actually developed, but i guess that's something to be mindful of. again, it's really only when shipping stuff gets involved that she jumps the gun and gets weird. maybe she's learned from her mistakes now, for all i know. nonshipping threads you shouldn't have an issue with at all.
