WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS PORTAL 2 BDAY LAST WEEK??
I am SO disappointed in myself. Tsk tsk tsk.
But ANYWAYS HAPPY (*very late cough*) BDAY MY BELOVED GAME EVER!!
The portal games changed my life, my taste in women and made me interested in science
I want to thank my friend Low, who is the one responsible for my portal obsession!! I needed to borrow some money for Machinarium (also a super cool game with robots, if you’re into point and click adventure puzzle games, go check it out!!) and they proposed a deal: I get machinarium - but I also buy portal and play it.
At first I was skeptical of portal. I knew about it and how well rated it is, but I always sucked at puzzles so I thought I wouldn’t be even able to finish it.
But turns out I don’t suck THAT badly at puzzles!!
I finished the games many times, with a controller, keyboard and also I tried a few chambers with a graphic tablet (which I don’t recommend if you suffer from motion sickness)
Low and me also are writing a portal au (that revolves more around our ocs and is more of a office comedy (( atleast for now >:) )) ) which made me interested in webmastery just so I can create a website where we would post the story once it will be finished!!
So THANK YOU LOW AND PORTAL GAMES FOR ALL THE FUN!! :D
I've replayed portal 2 for the 5th time recently. and now Im thinking about them a lot (help).
I just now decided to find a translation of the song Cara mia addio. and oh my Glados is so pathetically in love with Chell. let them have a happy ending pls!! 😭😭😭
and yes chell wears a black mesa tshirt just to annoy her (ex)wife.
A) I am NOT saying any one of these is better or worse than the others. It is merely an observation.
B) None of these are based on a single person’s artwork; if one happens to look exactly the same as someone else’s design (apart from mine), it’s coincidental.
C) It is impossible for me, a single human being, to peruse the entire internet’s collection of GLaDOS fanart and therefore not everything is included. Do NOT burn my house down with lemons over this.
Tryin to figure out an android design for portal cores ✌️
Finished Portal 2 n watched Meet The Cores recently so yea, they're living rent free in my mind now
Also 2 of my fav spheres and my freak of a core, the uhhhhh idk bone core????? Idk Aperture prob got quite the bone collection there now, thanks to Wheatley lol
first batch of portal refs done!! the second will come soon (i hope) it will include spin off and mod characters as well :D
android AU: everything stays the same but the robots are more humanoid. thats it really xD
human AU: set in 2010. quite a few things change (i oc-ify the characters pretty much). the main things to note is that it’s a lot of what if scenarios. what if the resonance cascade in black mesa never happened, what if caroline had a daughter (gladys, so glados and caroline aren’t the same person in the AU. i wanted to explore the possibility of them being two separate people haha), what if the disk operating system project was put into halt and AI never took over. in the AU black mesa and aperture are still rivals in the development of teleportation technology, portals are still being experimented on, human test subjects are paid to test, they don’t go through cryo sleep stasis but live their life at aperture in dormitories (let me slice of life portal okay im self indulgent). Aperture still has questionable work ethics and morals but things work slightly more differently. Gladys is the CEO of aperture and she pushes for a lot of work to be done so they can surpass black mesa. Also important to note, Chell registers as a test subject for the cash deal but she also aims to investigate what really happened to her adoptive father who died at Aperture.
that’s the main essence of the au, still working on it and some plots here and there but, like most of my fandom aus, it’s really self indulgent slice of life crap LOL
if you have questions or feedback don’t hesitate to let me know! :>
