Uhm uh could you info dump about your Portal AU 👉👈 (I definitely do not have ulterior motives and I am definitely not thinking about inserting my OC into the AU hahahaha why would you think that)

I don't know what there is to infodump about so here is a sort of... timeline? Compendium?

Most of it is the same as canon Portal 2, except GLaDOS and Wheatley are androids.

The AU starts when GLaDOS - disconnected from the main chassis and connected instead to a potato battery - and Chell fall into old aperture. They discover Cave Johnson, not deceased as was widely believed but rather locked underground in android form along with an outdated maintenance system for Aperture. Inspired by this fic, to be specific. (I call him an android for convenience but technically he may count as a cyborg. Haven't really delved into that. He's not "alive" in the fully human sense, though.)

They need the data stored in Cave to get through some parts of Old Aperture, so they begrudgingly take him along. Most of the cables coming out of his neck and wrists used to be connected to a now obsolete surveillance/maintenance system, and are now haphazardly rolled up around him. His power cable is connected to another potato battery (which he usually keeps in his pocket).

Like other Aperture "personality constructs", Cave can "remain functional in apocalyptic, low power environments of as few as 1.1 volts", but it has its limitations - as is the case with GLaDOS, using too much energy can get him knocked out.

Cave's endgoal here is to end his own life, which he can't do on his own due to several failsafe measures built into him (such as being unable to unplug himself from the system in the first place, and as a result being stuck underground). He still keeps up his cheery, eccentric (and far from sane) attitude, but with an added hint of cynicism and roundabout self-deprecation. Decades of mulling over his life underground has led him to have some regrets about certain decisions, although he would never speak any of it out loud to anyone. Personality-wise, some inspirations were taken from the robot Cave in Aperture Desk Job.

In one possible ending for the story (which I haven't mentioned before but have had in mind for some time), they enter a newer part of Aperture where the emancipation grills do not have the data that lets Cave enter without being disintegrated. Here he acknowledges that Chell and GLaDOS have no more need of him and voluntarily walks into the emancipation grill.

Here's an excerpt from my notes.

"These emancipation grills were built in my time. They're not calibrated to accomodate-" GLaDOS gestures towards Johnson. "- him. We'll need to find a way to hack into the-" "Hey hey hey- don't bother. I'm gonna be level with you. You don't need me anymore." "Elaborate." "The stuff built here on out's brand new. I don't even have the code for it. Sure, you needed me to get through the old facility, but I think I'm gonna head out now." "…Is that so." "My time is up, I can feel it. I'm not going to heaven, no sir. Was never much of a religions guy anyway. But know this, lady," the former CEO turns to Chell. "I want to see you make it out alive. This facility I built, it swallows you up. Don't get me wrong, it's the best damn science facility on this earth and I couldn't be more proud of it, but you stay here too long and- well." He shrugs, cables dangling from and wrapped around him like ropes. "It's pretty much my destiny to die down here, but you, kid, you get out there. You go up to the surface and see the daylight. Caroline, take care of the facility. Oh, and her." "Yes sir Mr Johnson…" "Oh and beat that moron's ass for me." They go through the fizzler, leaving him behind - there is a sound that makes Chell turn back, only to see some particles evaporating. GLaDOS doesn't turn back. "Goodbye sir."

anyone from Portal? (But especially Chell and Doug Rattmann, since. Y'know. They're the only humans still alive during-game.)

My vote is for Doug would survive. The man lived for YEARS hiding in a place that wanted to kill him, he'd straight up refuse to go in the first place due to paranoia, and if he's shown to be pretty good at avoiding getting killed (repeatedly dodging turrets, avoiding going to dangerous situations in Aperture, etc). He's also fully willing to talk back to someone willing to kill him (See: Lab Rat) so that would likely be a bit of fun there. He's most likely to end up just not going there at all, though, so... Might not even count.

For Chell, though, I'm not sure if she would be able to make it out. I love her, but she's pretty unwilling to play along with tests/games. Also: She might have her long fall boots on her, so... She might be able to just jump out a window, even if the wolves get her. I know that the portal gun seems like it would change whether or not Chell would survive, but if it only works on moon rock-treated surfaces (Portal lore is fun to know about) so it definitely wouldn't work here.

Just my two cents about some of my faves! ^_^

There's a concept here with the vampires (particularly the Girlies) being strongly and consistently associated with the moon - or perhaps the moon being associated with the vampires. I can't quite make it come together. The Girlies functionally are moon dust... but in the precise opposite way from crushed regolith. Something something yonnic voids... yeah I dunno.

I was going to be skeptical of Doug Rattman being able to successfully hide in the walls of Dracula's actual house, like, Dracula lives there all the time, he definitely knows it better than you... but that's the same situation with GlaDOS isn't it? So... maybe??

Chell's defining feature seems to be not doing what she's told. She also is famously constantly trying to escape and apparently does not physically require sleep. The first two of those don't seem like features Dracula would tolerate for long. (The third is just funny in the context of the No Sleep For Anyone novel). She also had the best potato project, but I'm not sure that that helps.

I think she'd have a lot of trouble with the Girlies. They're harder to turn against each other than your average turret. And exploring off-limit spaces is another thing Chell is particularly good at. Sooner or later they'll catch her when Dracula's not around. Sooner or later Dracula will let them, because such determined escape attempts are getting tedious.

I think Chell can not survive Castle Dracula

ENTANGLEMENT | Part I, Chapter I

A Portal/Half Life Universe Fic from Chell's Perspective Rating: Explicit Overall Word Count: 10,730 Chapters: 1/20 Where to Read: AO3 | Google Drive | // ?UN?/KN@?#WN

SYNOPSIS

Location Unknown, Michigan, USA. Aperture released her, set her free. That ought to have been the end of it. But cast out into a world rendered unrecognizable after a mass extinction level event, Chell is forced to fend for herself, navigating a war-torn world in the aftermath of the seven hour war that devastated the states in a bygone era. Mere days into her newfound experience on the surface, Chell finds bizarre technology inside a Michigan radio tower, discovering that the same interdimensional forces that started the war were still around, scouring the area in search of technology from the facility she hoped to never see again — Aperture Science. With no choice but to go back to the facility to deliver a dire warning, Chell tightropes on the cusp of two worlds, unaware of the consequences of pursuing the past and surviving an uncertain future alongside an unlikely ally.

It's finally here!! A former roleplay thread with @sarcasticgaypotato turned novel, this story follows the events of Half Life 2: Episode 2, and is an inspired continuation of the ending of Half Life: Alyx from the perspective of everyone's favorite Aperture-dwelling characters. Chell, whose mission is to protect Aperture technology from getting in the hands of the Combine, must also act as GLaDOS's protector and keep her safe. GLaDOS, on the other hand, has to figure out the complicated ways of the world from a new perspective - literally. This story is friendly to those who don't know Half-Life lore, and a treat for those who do! This story is a close-to-canon survival novel fic with ChellDOS as a major focus. Full of survival, interactive elements, complicated feelings, and a beautiful slow burn robot/human love story. <3

#portal 2 #half life #chell #GLaDOS #ChellDOS #I CAN FINALLY SCREAM ABOUT THIS OMMMGG #nearly a fucking DECADE LATER AHHHH #words cannot explain how excited I am to finally release this project into the masses I could explode #Chell was my first muse my first comfort character my first love #this rp to novel that me and sarcastic worked on for ages is without a doubt the most research I have done for a story EVER in my life #and I love the absolute most out of everything I've written #I have been wanting to write ChellDOS fanfiction for a very long time #and while I've done rp stuff #I wanted my first ChellDOS fic to be so fucking astronomical #I'm finally satisfied #and I hope you all love this story too! thank you all for reading <3

does portal 2 pass the bechdel test?

like seriously:

- chell is mute, so no conversations (unless that still counts?)

- the only two other named female characters are GLaDOS and Caroline who never interact on account of being the same person(?)

- so wtf????

does it count if one of the named female characters rechnically never speaks or is that a monologue, not conversation? someone help i’m losing my fucking mind

hey do you like robots. if so can you share your favorites

i’m assuming this means robots from other media and not my own HAHA

if mythra and pyra count they might be my favourite fictional characters of all time, same with malos and A/alvis, i love you trinity processor i would do anything for you trinity processor please text me back trinity processor. i could talk about these three for all fucking time you have no idea how much i like mythra and pyra they’re such insanely compelling characters that have so much potential. i’m also a sucker for ino’s WACKY fucking design her head is WAY too big for her body i love her. poppi xenoblade deserved better. i love her dearly.

im always a big fan of megaman (especially mmx and the protomen), i loved so many of the characters in command mission a LOT. command mission dub is so fucking camp i will die on this hill it’s great. i’m also a fan of copy x by proxy of a close friend being obsessed with him.

elster from signalis might be the hottest woman i’ve ever seen in my life. that scene where she’s shoving the new arm onto her shoulder and she looks all broad made me feel things.

i have very strong feelings about fi from loz. she holds a very dear place in my heart and has since i was a kid

TURING WEBBER. i cannot possibly recommend playing 2064 read only memories enough. turing is the most delightful character on earth

the three marathon AIs are insanely compelling. i love you leela i love you tycho i love you DURANDAL!!!!!!!! i have so many strong feelings about durandal. i am not smart enough to analyze marathon that much. i like staring into the abyss of marathon infinity’s timeline like i could ever hope to understand any of it. i have much smarter mutuals than me that can do that.

honourable mentions: glados, bonbon idv, ai uwasa magia record, (SPOILERS) professor layton and the azran legacy, tobor mysims, metal sonic, star dream, roni trauma team, all of the iron (x) pokemon, hatsune miku et al, v1, v2, mirage, all the ultrakill bots, wx-78

Propaganda Below

Dish the Hot Gauss

Dish The Hot Gauss: when you reveal a dramatic secret to your foe, take +1d when you attack them during the current Mission.

What makes it Cool?

It encourages exciting moments by providing a combat bonus for activating a narrative trigger. "No. I am your father." Plus the name is a pun.

Ushabti Omnigun

Your mech’s omnigun is a piece of experimental hardware so advanced that it defies physics: it doesn’t require a mount, nor does it have a weapon type or size – meaning that it can’t be modified or benefit from your talents. You can’t attack normally with this weapon. Instead, 1/round, as a free action during your turn, you can use it to deal 1AP damage to a character within RANGE and line of sight. This doesn’t count as an attack, hits automatically, ignores cover, bypasses IMMUNITY, and its damage can’t be reduced or ignored in any way. No rule in this book or any other supersedes this.

What makes it so cool?

1.) Even the best scientists in the setting don't know how this thing works. At all.

"As with many HORUS pattern groups, the Pegasus fields a signature weapon system: the Ushabti, a hostile impulse anti-corporeal weapon that operates with complete ignorance of even the most basic underpinnings of physics and thermodynamics. As such, it qualifies unambiguously as a paracausal weapon. The Ushabti’s precise function remains unknown to Union and Harrison Armory scientists, though radiological and gravitational signatures captured in the aftermath of the weapon’s use point toward a relationship with the Aunic Firmament. Studies are ongoing on Ras Shamra, the Armory’s chief research world, and in satellite campuses across the Dawnline Shore."

2.) Art of the Pegasus doesn't show the Ushabti Omnigun itself. Instead, the Pegasus has a black hole built into its back as some sort of containment field for the Ushabti.

3.) Mechanically, the Ushabti is about as simple as you can get. You can shoot things for 1 damage per turn. (or 3 if you use the active). (for context, most enemies have around 15-20 hp) sound boring, right? Well no. it's a free action. You also get to do the whole rest of your turn. And then, you get to ignore anything that might try to stop you, and NO RULE IN THIS BOOK OR ANY OTHER SUPERSEDES THIS. This is the ultimate gun to end all guns. There is no escape from the Ushabti Omnigun.

4.) In Lancer, the word 'unshackle' has a very specific meaning. 'turning off the restraints on a psychic AI'. Normally, an unshackled AI is the final boss of an entire campaign, or at least a major NPC. like Shodan or GlaDOS or something. The use here implies that the Ushabti is an AI. But the lack of anything but 'slightly more gun' implies it has a completely alien set of priorities. There's nothing in there that dreams of freedom or power. And it even quietly reshackles itself when the scene is over.

5.) The Pegasus frame is full of similar crazy psychic supertechnology. But it's all bent obsessively around the same simple goal of 'shoot people with guns'. This thing can rewrite the laws of probability on the fly, and it only does it to achieve Perfectly Average accuracy. It may or may not literally Know Everything(it certainly knows enough to predict every choice you're ever going to make), and it doesn't even bother to manipulate you, or seek freedom, or anything. And the funny thing is, several of its abilities literally are just normal guns. This thing is so obsessed with guns that it will prefer a cheap store-bought autogun over Infinite Cosmic Power. This is a god that appears to be satisfied with the life of a war machine. For now at least.

6.) Historically, an Ushabti was a funerary figurine placed in the tombs of Egyptian nobles to act as servants in the afterlife, and manual laborers. There's got some kind of master-servant dynamic.So the gun might not even the SAME unknowable psychic god as the rest of the mech. There's TWO of these things.

7.) in case you didn't notice, the fluff blurb loops. it starts at "-funny thing." and ends with "Causality is a-" On top of being alive, this thing may or may not be doing some kind of time travel.

8.) Worst of all, you can't prove any of this. It might just be a normal mech with a cutting-edge gun. Why the fuck would a god-like AI limit itself to the life of gun? That's ridiculous, right? Right?

Do you now understand why the fact that it uses its incomprehensible psychic power to do no more than 1/damage per round is so much more concerning than if it actually did something weird.

Pokimoko's Fic Bonanza

I've been jumping between a lot of fandoms lately, and I've ended up with a small collection of (not quite small) fics as a result. And because they are such a random assortment I thought, hey, why not post them altogether and make a day of it. So, without further ado, here's my odd party mix of fics for your viewing pleasure.

Lacuna - A Moon Knight Fic

Word Count: 1.5K Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Steven Grant & Marc Spector Characters: Steven Grant (Marvel), Marc Spector, Wendy Spector, Jake Lockley Summary: lacuna (noun) 1. an empty space or gap where something should be 2. a cavity or depression, especially in bone

(or: marc and steven fill in the gaps)

But as dark truths come to light and new friendships are formed, Hunter slowly but surely learns to carve out his own identity.

Let's Take the Long Way Home - A Bright Sessions Fic

Word Count: 5.8K Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Mark Bryant/Oliver Ritz Characters: Mark Bryant, Oliver Ritz Summary: After the events at Yale, Mark and Oliver stop at a roadside attraction, and have an important discussion. (Or: "hey, why don't we express our feelings to each other right next to this giant milk bottle?")

Graceful Degradation - A Portal 2 Fic

Word Count: 21K Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Wheatley & Wheatley (Portal), Wheatley (Portal) & Original Character(s), GLaDOS & Wheatley (Portal) Characters: Wheatley, Original Character(s), GLaDOS, Background & Cameo Characters Summary: It's 1982, and Aperture Science has made a breakthrough in the development of AI, having successfully completed the first ever artificial duplication of a human mind. The prototype speaks and thinks just like its progenitor, the scatterbrained yet determined Doctor Wheatley, but the question remains: is the digital copy truly the same as the human it believes itself to be? Is it happy to exist as it does? And why does it insist on being treated like a person?

Well, there's only one way to find out. It's time to test. And test. And test. And test.

The Ghost in the Machine - A Wolf 359 Fic

Word Count: ~23k Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Doug Eiffel & Hera, Doug Eiffel & Renée Minkowski, Doug Eiffel & Isabel Lovelace, Doug Eiffel & Daniel Jacobi Characters: Doug Eiffel, Hera (Wolf 359), Renée Minkowski, Isabel Lovelace, Daniel Jacobi Summary: Struggling to find his place amongst a ship of strangers he once called friends, Doug turns to the recordings of Officer Eiffel, the person he can't remember ever being, in the hopes of better understanding the world around him. But things take a turn for the strange when those same recordings start to talk to him…

GLaDOS from Portal :}

GLaDOS FROM PORTAL

CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS! seriously, play the game.

from an anon I'm naming jimmy

Design; 9/10 - Augh I don't know what exactly about her design I like, but she's just- COOL. Like big robot lady!! So cool!! I don't know if this counts as design but her voice actor Ellen Mclain did an AMAZING JOB!! Her voice is so cool, especially at the ending when she gets like evil evil :). And the song at the end??? I literally didn't even know that was from portal until I did the research for this and I've listened to it for actual YEARS.

Purpose/Character (yes I'm renaming this part); 10/10 - okay so my only actual experience with GLaDOS so far has been poker night at the inventory + the things I read for research. I loved her in those games and I've heard she was a PHENOMENAL character in the portal franchise. If I do her injustice I'm this part, I'm sorry.

So I didn't really care about spoilers this time because I was accidently spoiled for portal a while ago. GLaDOS being the tutorial character and slowly getting more sinister throughout the game until she is revealed to be the villain is just a really cool plot twist that I enjoy! Also apparently she was a human who was mistreated by scientists and turned into a robot and then she killed them all with a neurotoxin??? AUGH I love cool backstories like that!! She just seems such a genuinely amazing character and I'm sad I haven't played the games yet! I listened to her voice lines for this and it sounds like she pulled off being the tutorial character and the villain at the same time?? I cannot describe this but the feeling I get when reading a well rounded and well written character is just like- A!! They make me so happy!!

Overall; 10/10 - side effects of reading this post may include losing your teeth and/or sanity.

#rating #rating animals #ask me stuff #ask box #creature feature #glados #glados portal #portal #portal 2 #poker night at the inventory #poker night 2 #wheatley #oh wait i didnt mention wheatley #he seems cool too i guess #canon typical boyfailure #guess whos late for school while writing this??#me 😎#ok bye <3

Here is all the LGBTQ+ representation in Valve games that I could find (Canon/implied/speculation). The mega list!! Feel free to comment any other canon/implied characters or information that I missed and I'll add it on!! Same with anything I got wrong. Just have sources or reasonings!!

Any sources are linked within the text, the words with links are underlined (there are no images so the post isn’t overly cluttered)!! Many of these are subjective and some reasonings here are not 100% accurate but I'm trying to include as much possible representation as I can. Some are very silly!

I’ll occasionally update this with new ideas or findings, so feel free to come back and find the most updated version.

Spoiler warning for most Valve series ?

Portal

GLaDOS - bi, ace (canon)

GLaDOS is said to romantically like Chell in the Final Hours of Portal 2 (was originally supposed to accuse Chell of cheating on her with a core, Want You Gone is called a break up song, Chell and GLaDOS were supposed to sing a duet, they’re referred to as having a twisted dysfunctional romance), in interviews (in one before Portal 2 released, GLaDOS was called Chell's jealous ex girlfriend, Jonathan Coulton saying Want You Gone was a breakup song), implied in her songs ("even though you broke my heart and killed me" "I used to want you dead now I only want you gone"), and also her voice lines (reanimating the dead, being curious about Chell's behavior, forgiving her in Lego Dimensions, various things about the Companion Cube, etc). In Poker Night 2, she has a line possibly alluding to Chell, “I cheat all the time, but only with people I care about”. Not as canon but one of the former developers (sort of?) made a gay joke with her, where he reposted an image of a Half-Life crate being cut open to reveal a rainbow cake, he captioned it “GLaDOS’ secret”. For liking men, GLaDOS dates Claptrap in Poker Night 2. Jonathon Coulton, writer of GlaDOS’ songs, said about the Lego Dimensions Portal DLC that GLaDOS probably had feelings for Batman. Implying she’s asexual, GLaDOS has a cut line in the Cooperative Testing Initiative in which she says human reproduction is ridiculous (not as related but the “testing euphoria” probably relates more to an addiction than to sexual desire). For further explanation on ChellDOS evidence, humanwheatleyslefttoenail + Ossy Flawol’s posts on it were quite useful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZJuxvaG5nI / https://humanwheatleyslefttoenail.tumblr.com/post/640814755030908928/why-do-you-ship-chell-and-glados-if-glados-is. Here is another post I recall having good information too. https://sapphofinch.tumblr.com/post/691178346793533440/portal-1.

Caroline - bisexual, asexual (implied)

Caroline is bisexual/asexual as she is apart of GLaDOS/GLaDOS’ conscience was built off of her, and also the possibility Caroline could've dated Cave in her time at Aperture (The writers never clarified, just saying they were never married but there might be “more of a story there”). Caroline and Cave’s art for the Steam 20th anniversary was done over a meme of a couple.

Chell - sapphic (canon)

Chell was originally supposed to have a duet with GLaDOS in Portal 2, GLaDOS also getting called her ex girlfriend (as stated in the Final Hours of Portal 2). Stated in an article by GameInformer, Chell was supposed to get married to a Turret (which was specifically called a bride, the turrets also refer to each other with feminine terms). These aren't as canon, but in Count to Three, a Valve fan-song that got approval to have Gabe Newell and Ellen McLain in it, Chell is drawn as dancing with Gordon Freeman. I’m not sure what that counts for but it’s staying. A little bonus, I headcanon she’s transfeminine because the original Portal protagonist was male before they used Chell! They aren’t the same character but I like to think they are (if the guy wasn’t white).

Turret Bride - lesbian (canon)

There was a cut scene in Portal 2 where Chell would save a group of Turrets and help them so in return they gave a Turret off to marry Chell, who was called the bride turret.

Turrets - sapphic (implied)

The standard turrets themselves are sapphic because most are girls or at least use she/her pronouns (besides Randolph, and probably the defective turrets). They had valentines cards to each other, the Turret Wife serenade can be brought up as well.

Cave - transgender, pansexual (potential)

In Aperture Desk Job, there is a billboard with Cave's face on it with specific parts having the colors of the transgender flag and the pansexual flag. In Perpetual Testing Initiative there are lines implying (in a sense?) he could've liked his assistant Greg (Similar to how Caroline and Cave could’ve had a relationship). There is also a universe where Cave was a trans woman, meaning in a universe Cave is a trans man as he says the possibilities of universes is infinite. In Portal 2 there is implication he could've liked Caroline (they get a lot of strange implication. And once again, Caroline and Cave’s art for the Steam 20th anniversary was done over a meme of a couple.). In both PTI and the base game he makes remarks towards the hypothetical test subjects hearing it (as they're prerecorded), calling them a handsome devil or complimenting them. In the DotA announcer pack, he often makes remarks finding various characters attractive (or commenting on how characters of either gender aren’t wearing pants??). Also in the DotA announcer pack, Cave mentions having a first wife (implying he had other marriages) Also in that he says he doesn’t like Greg’s wife which if believing that Cave likes Greg then that would make sense.

Cavina Johnson - transgender (implied)

Cavina is the transfeminine version of Cave in Perpetual Testing Initiative. She is heard protesting her gender and trying to get people to believe she is a woman.

Sally Sue Greg - transgender (implied)

Sally Sue Greg is the transfeminine version of Greg in an alternate universe. She's heard talking with Cavina about the matter of people not seeing them as women.

Greg - transgender, achillean (potential?)

Greg might be transmasculine as seen above with Cave, he too had a transfeminine version of himself in Perpetual Testing Initiative. (Big stretch, probably not the intention) how he acts with Cave could also potentially be romantic. Though he also has a daughter, and in the DotA announcer pack, Cave mentions how Greg has a wife (who Cave does not like).

Bendy - nonbinary (potential)

Bendy was never given a gender in Perpetual Testing Initiative and only has the little stick figure sprite. Same for other Aperture universe games such as The Lab.

Charlie - nonbinary, bisexual (implied)

Charlie in Aperture Desk Job gets no identifying features of any gender and Charlie is a very gender-neutral name. Grady also asks them if they have a wife or husband and then says he'd like to meet them eventually.

Grady - gay (potential)

Charlie and Grady are most likely meant to mimic the relationship that Chell and GLaDOS have.

Cores - agender (canon)

Most (but not all) Cores and robots in the Portal games that you see do not get assigned a gender (or get it/its used on them).

Atlas and Pbody - gay? Aroace? (Implied??)

In The Final Hours of Portal 2 they were implied as a couple. One of Valves artists, Makani, made human designs and made them both the same gender, also stating the robots are pretty gender-neutral. I don't think the robots themselves were actually given a gender though. Also you can color-pick the aro/ace flag off of them. Portal is literally aro/ace now lol!

Mel - sapphic (potential)

Mel and Chell were originally co-op test partners together, if following the same pattern as the co-op bots, then they could’ve been romantic.

There’s a clipboard in various areas of the games that says “Gender Neutral, Polyamory-Friendly Partnership Project”.

Half-Life

Gman - genderless, asexual (canon?)

There's a line in Half-Life 1 from the Nihilanth that says Gman is not man like Gordon is "you are man. He is not man". Gman isn't really human so I don't think gender or sexual orientation matters but a bonus is you can also color-pick the asexual colors from him.

Alyx - bisexual (probable)

Alyx was meant to have a crush on a resistance member who's gender was not confirmed. Alyx in Half-Life 2 is shown to develop a crush on Gordon Freeman. This doesn’t really count but in the Official Portal 2 Guide Book, there was a question to some Valve employees on who would win if Chell and Alyx were in a fight and two people said they'd probably just hang out and go to a bar (I like to think that implies something lol).

Cut Resistance member - nonbinary (possibly)

(Same as above) There was a cut resistance member for HL2e3 that Alyx Vance would get a crush on. They were deaf so Alyx learned sign language to communicate with them. They later on go away from Alyx to someplace else to fight the Combine and Alyx was left to use her sign language with Dog. Gabe Newell did not specify the gender of this character.

Barney Calhoun - bisexual (possibly)

Barney in Half-Life: Blue Shift is implied to have a girlfriend based on his locker but someone suggested he might be bisexual because of a line to Gordon in Half-Life 2, “You're in pretty good shape for a man of science”.

Technically you could also count many of the humans in Half-Life to being asexual due to the suppression field.

Adrian Shephard is another potential gender queer character because him as a person is meant to be up to player interpretation

The Lambda symbol, in Half-Life’s context is used to represent radioactive decay, but the Lambda symbol has been used historically as a gay pride symbol.

Team Fortress 2

Miss Pauling - lesbian (canon)

Miss Pauling was confirmed lesbian by Jay Pinkerton, one of Valves writers. She's shown in Expiration Date, her voice lines, and the comics to not like Scout back or ever date him. She goes to many women themed events in her time off in the Tough Break update. She had an ad listing in the Teufort Reader on the TF2 website in which she was looking for someone to go on a date with her but did not specify the gender of the partner, unlike Scout who specified he wanted to date a woman. Ashly Burch, Pauling's voice actress, came out as pansexual and added in the post that many of the characters she voiced were in LGBTQ (she is also in DotA as Dark Willow and in Portal as the out-of-breath core if that means anything for them). In the TF2 comics, Pauling is repulsed by Soldier being naked but was unbothered by Zhanna, possibly implied to develop a crush on her. Miss Pauling might also have a crush on the Administrator by some of her remarks towards her in the comics (And in the possible comic 7 leak documented by Richter Overtime where they almost kiss??). I made a whole post going into more detail on Pauling’s lesbianism, so here it is if you haven’t seen it! https://www.tumblr.com/thatvalvefanatic/691897743464136704/miss-pauling-from-team-fortress-2-is-confirmed-to?source=share)

Medic - bisexual (canon)

Medic and Heavy being a couple is heavily implied! The main TF2 comic artist, Makani, has posted a lot of Heavy x Medic art in the past (slight nsfw warning if you click on the links). Medic and Heavy are shown to be extremely close in their voice lines, (Heavy has more lines for Medic than everyone else, they’re a lot kinder as well), official sfms (they're usually paired next to each other), and in the comics. In the comics they become the implied parents of the monkey from Classic Heavy (and they stand together on the side with the other couples). Heavy had a line to Medic for the Kiss King item saying to kiss him. Robin Atkin Downes, Medic's voice actor, at Pax West 2022 said that he thought Valve should make a love story for Medic and Heavy and later on as Medic "just for the record, I love Heavy!" And posted it to his Twitter. Heavy and Sniper's voice actors replied supporting this decision. Medic and Heavy’s actors also improved a date, once reaching a certain donation goal on the Kritzkast streams. For him being bisexual, Demoman had a line to Medic saying he was having sex with his wife, as well as Makani made a design for her. For further info, here’s a master post I found of people compiling Heavy-Medic stuff! (although it is probably not the fully updated version but it includes A LOT more that I didn’t include here!). https://www.tumblr.com/heavicislit/638295696204857344/more-art-by-makani

Heavy - gay (implied)

Heavy is gay for the reasons for Medic as above, but he has never seemed romantically interested in the other women shown in the series (probably seeing them more like family he should protect).

Pyro - genderqueer (canon)

Pyro in their updates and in Valve interviews has gotten all he/she/they pronouns used on her. He also was joked at having a menstrual cycle in the comics. But they also have a male voice actor and masculine concept art. There was also a lot of implications of different genders for her, such as in Meet the Pyro with the female symbol in Pyroland and showing him liking stereotypical girlish things (plus the “he’s not here, is she?” line in the official captioning/transcript). Their cosmetics can be pretty androgynous. Many character’s use different pronouns or gendered insults on occasion in-game. One thing that inspired people to have the theory they are a girl is when a file of an unused female face turned up around the time of the Sniper vs Spy files, but never confirmed what it was used for. In a QnA, John Patrick Lowrie, Snipers voice actor, was asked what Pyro's gender was and in response he said Pyro was beyond gender and Pyro’s voice actor uses different pronouns on Pyro (usually he/they). Besides Sniper, Pyro was the only mercenary to not receive genderbent concept art. (There is way more to the Pyro genderqueer theory so if I find a good post analyzing it, I’ll link it here!)

Demoman - bisexual (possibly)

Demoman has the line "If I wasn' the man I was I'd kiss ye!" when thanking someone (and apparently in the Spanish version it translates to "If I weren't so macho I'd kiss you", if that adds anything). Also a lot of people interpret his lines to Soldier as romantic coded- I’m acknowledging that yes they’re platonic and that’s great if they are! Of course friendships exist and are equally as important but I thought people pointing romance out was interesting! -Voice lines include: ”I love you, man...", "DOMINATED! But you're a good man and I love you.", "EVERYBODY! I DON'T LIKE THIS MAN. HE IS A SOULLESS MONSTER! I do like you, it's just for show." and not to just Soldier I found this "Dominated! Accordin' to unicorn law, yer me bloody wife now". For liking woman there’s the line, previously mentioned above, where Demo tells Medic he’s gonna have sex with his wife, "Dominated! ...And I've been shaggin' yer wife! Hahah!"

Soldier - transgender, bisexual (possibly)

My friend brought this one up but Soldier might be transmasculine, as people who are unidentifiable for a name, mainly used in war, will be named Jane Doe (for female) or John Doe (for male) based on genitals. Soldier's name is Jane Doe, but he still refers to himself as a man, meaning he could be transmasculine. He later uses the name John Doe which could be him changing it. (I found this good post discussing it! https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/971fix/comment/hsadirk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) And for bisexual it’s the same as above with Demoman examples being "I love your death, cyclops; your death is sweet to me like love is sweet.", "DOMINATED! Call me later, we can talk about our day.", “DOMINATED! I cherish these moments we spend together." (to Demoman), "C'mere, sweetheart.” (to Medic). And in the comics he gets married to Heavy’s sister Zhanna.

Spy - genderfluid, polyamorous (implied)

Spy has the line "I like my teams like I like my romances: in groups of six". In the Scream Fortress event for 2022, there is a sticker on the briefcase for Spy's taunt, Travel Agent, that has him in pinup type attire with a more feminine/sexualized figure for both Red and Blu team. In the Steam 20th anniversary art, both Red and Blu Spy were drawn in the blue-black, white-gold dresses.

The Administrator - aroace spectrum (potential?)

Administrator shows no interest in relationships of any sort (besides once having a relationship with Saxton Hale). Someone suggested she was aplatonic, which can fall into aroace categories.

Merasmus - bigender, asexual (implied)

Merasmus in the comics would have feminine terms or titles used on him (for wearing a dress) but never corrected anyone (while still using he/him pronouns on himself). Soldier has a voice line calling Merasmus an enchantress (used for a woman who uses magic, or used for a woman who is attractive). In a comic he implied he was ace by saying his blood was that of a virgin.

Redmon and Blutarch Mann - intersex or trans?? (almost)

In the comic Blood Brothers, they consider creating a pregnancy machine to continue their family line and to continue the fight over gravel, but they are stopped when Gray Mann kills them.

TFC Pyro - transfeminine, intersex (canon)

Beatrice (TFC Pyro) is canonically a trans woman as in the original Team Fortress game she was assumed a guy, having a male voice actor and her design was mostly covered up. She then is a woman in the comics. She technically got gender reassignment surgery from Medic when he put baboon uterus' inside everyone!

TFC Soldier - gay, intersex (implied?)

Ross (TFC Soldier) is implied to like Greg in the TF2 comics before they die by Pyro. The pair talking emotionally about going to make orphanage together and following their dreams.

TFC Spy - gay, intersex (implied?)

Greg (TFC Spy) is the same as the spot above.

TFC Heavy - intersex (canon)

Medic directly told TFC Heavy that he put a baboon uterus inside of him. The procedure works and Medic is left with a baby baboon!

TFC Demoman - intersex (canon)

Same with TFC Heavy, Greg (TFC Demoman) is directly said to have a baboon uterus!

Team Fortress Classic team - intersex (canon)

Like previously mentioned, the TFC team had baboon uterus' put inside them from the TF2 Medic. Most of the team is assumed to be assigned male at birth and assuming none of them noticed this surgery, Medic probably kept in both parts, making them all intersex.

One of Valve’s artists, Makani, used to post a lot of queer art of the mercenaries. Many were genderbent, (or just remained cis/gay or polyamorous). Examples include Spy x Sniper, Heavy x Medic x Medic’s wife, ect.

Left4dead

Ellis - bisexual (canon)

Ellis says "If the laws of nature would allow it, I would bear that man's children." Towards a race car driver. Some believe the voice lines towards Keith make it seem like the two could be in a relationship. Ellis does develop a crush on Zoey, though. Someone suggested his voice line "My name is Ellis, some people call me El. But I really prefer Ellis 'cause El kinda sounds like a girl's name. But if you prefer to call me El, I guess you can." can relate to being transgender.

Nick - bisexual (possible)

Someone informed me that Nick having a ring on his left pinky finger could be used as a gay sign. Although he has rings on many different fingers, the pinky ring could still indicate he’s MLM in some way (although it can also be used as an indicator of a gang, which we know he was probably apart of one). Nick has been divorced from a woman at least once, going by some of his voice lines.

Rochelle is sometimes referred to with male pronouns for certain actions, but it seems to have been an oversight of forgetting to add female variants.

The Church Guy when revealed can be a Hunter, Smoker, or Boomer of either gender

Dota

Storm Spirit - gay (canon)

Storm Spirit is implied to not like women in his voice lines (Batrider also says his bat likes fruit when the bat hurts Storm Spirit). Him being gay was confirmed by an employee on Steam on a Steam forum.

Legion Commander - transgender, lesbian (canon)

The Legion Commander was originally male in DotA 1/World of Warcraft (?) but was later changed and remained a girl in DotA 2 and it’s comics. Legion in the DotA comic, Call to Arms, is hinted at dating a male Satyr named Belasanno, but this is contradicted when Legion was confirmed lesbian by a Valve employee on a Steam forum (where a user stated she was lesbian and a Valve employee marked it as correct). Not canon but the Valve artist Makani made a post drawing DotA characters as Undertale characters and Legion was drawn as Undyne, who is lesbian as well. (and if you’re curious who Alphys was, it’s WInter Wyvern/Auroth)

Mirana - bisexual (canon)

Mirana worships and is in love with Selemene (other potential relationships were Marci, Wei, or Luna?). She is in the anime called “Usurpers whore”, the usurper being Selemene in this situation. She does fall in love with Davion the Dragon Knight, and is implied to have his child.

Luna - lesbian (canon) Luna worships Selemene, Selemene multiple times saying she loved her and Luna says she is fully hers. Luna is hinted at not liking men in the anime when she rejects all advances from Hieronimo. Later when Luna, Davion, Hieronimo, and Mirana meet up Davion asks what’s going on, Hieronimo responds that it’s a lovers quarrel (I assumed about Mirana/Luna, but it was probably about Mirana/Davion or Hieronimo inserting himself into it). Luna seems to have some kind of feelings towards Mirana, at times dedicating her life to her. She is very intense about serving her.

Zeus - bisexual, polyamorous (canon)

Zeus in DotA 2 is just Zeus from Greek mythology, who was known to sleep with both women and men, usually multiple at a time.

Queen of Pain - pansexual (probably)

Queen of Pain is a succubus, and while succubi are usually attracted to men, many can be bisexual.

Anti-Mage - asexual (implied)

Anti-Mage is a monk and monks aren’t supposed to have sexual interactions so I’m using that to say he’s ace. Also a Queen of Pain line to him is "Oh, Anti-Mage, I'll make you break your vows." furthering that fact.

Lina - transgender (kind of)

Lina in DotA 1 was a male character named Link Inverse. They were inspired by the character Lina Inverse from Slayer. She was later changed to female.

Fymryn - pansexual, polyamorous (canon)

Fymryn in the Dota 2 Dragons Blood anime is seen in a polyamorous relationship with Adara, Dyfed, and Idwal. Adara being a woman and Dyfed and Idwal being men. When she is Mene, she is shown to be very loving to everyone.

Adara - bisexual, polyamorous (canon)

Same as above for the poly relationship.

Dyfed - bisexual, polyamorous (canon)

Same as above.

Idwal - bisexual, polyamorous (canon)

Same as above.

Selemene - pansexual, polyamorous (canon)

Selemene has very intimate worshipers of any gender, previously was dating Invoker, she is also an elf, in which the elven race is naturally pansexual and polyamorous.

Invoker - polyamorous

As previously mentioned, all Dota elves were confirmed polyamorous in the anime.

Mene - pansexual, polyamorous (canon)

Mene is the goddess that came before Fymryn was reincarnated as her. Similar to Selemene, she is seen with multiple gendered worshippers.

Most elves in DotA are confirmed polyamorous. Fymryn says that the elves find one on one relationships strange. Other main elves are Filomena and Invoker. They are presumably polyamorous although neither have been shown to have romantic relationships (besides Invoker with Selemene). I can’t find a clip of the scene but someone posted the quotes of Fymryn asking Davion about monogamy. (adding just the general idea of elves since there are many shown that are unnamed)

Pugna - archillian (maybe) This one is more joking but relating to the Undertale crossover art, Pugna was drawn as Sans and Sans is very aro/ace coded (I’m still learning DotA lore so I’m using the Undertale post almost as a basis? For this one anyway). I saw some people say Pugna was gay due to some voice lines but I haven’t found them.

Black Market Overseer - queer

The black market overseer in DotA: Dragon’s Blood is incredibly androgynous with slight drag (?) elements. They have a masculine voice but a more feminine look and could easily be interpreted as both male or female in appearance.

Hieronimo - bisexual (implied)

In the anime he makes flirting comments to both men and women (Luna and Invoker)

In the black market Mirana and Marci pass a room with a bunch of people having sex. It was pairs of multiple genders and some of the pairs were polyamorous.

Characters I’ve seen people say are queer but I could not find 100% reasoning: Razor, (gay, people mainly mentioned his voice acting), Slark (gay), Wind and Drow ranger (lesbian, but I think it’s mainly fanon or fetish), Axe (gay), Juggernaut (bi), Riki (gay, for being purple apparently?? I saw multiple people say this- Although I did find this on the importance of purple in the queer community if that means anything), Meepo (bi for liking redheads, although it’s only to female characters), Mirana (trans, they might’ve mixed her up for Legion or Lina)

Counter-Strike

There are characters missing from this (from both the Asian and American versions of the series, apparently), but this is what I’ve found so far?? Please let me know if you find anything else! And yeah before y’all start about how gay people shouldn't exist in a terrorist game. Yeah. It doesn’t matter! But it matters even less when you sit here arguing with us about it. Some people just like the character lore okay. We aren’t supporting terrorism or whatever.

Trapper - transgender?

Many people thought this character was transgender due to the fact that when first released, she used the male variant of voice lines. It was later updated to the female version. The design is very gender ambiguous.

Safecracker Voltzmann - lesbian (implied)

While no voice lines make this apparent, Voltzmann’s design is similar to butch lesbians. She’s very masculine in appearance and has short colored hair which is a popular stereotype among gay people. Her personality is very fun and eccentric, she’s described as being weird, this could be like how queer people are othered for being themselves and seen as different.

This also doesn’t count as much but in the Steam 20th anniversary art, there are two Counter-Strike dudes doing the Barbie and Ken mugshot meme. Usually people used this meme for ships (as well as Ken has a crush on Barbie in the movie).

Characters people have said are queer but I found no evidence for: Female terrorist (lesbian, either CSO (Jennifer?) or CSGO (voltzmann??), Yuri and Ace (lesbian and ace for their names- but the names are obviously for the other meanings of the words), a SEAL Team 6 member (trans, I assume it would be like Legion or Lina where the character got genderswapped in development. Cannot find who though),

Miscellaneous

Steam Pal (Steam Deck) - agender (canon?)

Steam Pal is the Steam Deck mascot for the Asian release. They have not been given a gender so far. The only possible instance was when Steam Pal was referred to as “Pal-Chan”, (the honorific “-chan” in Japanese is often used for young children or girls).

Player character (Ricochet) - transgender (canon?)

There is a cut female model from the game, potentially the player character instead of the male. (They were probably different characters though).

Holly (Back 4 Blood) - sapphic (potential)

(Yes I know Back4Blood isn't directly from Valve) Holly has a pin with a rainbow on her bag, the colors are similar to the pansexual flag. Some people interpret her and Karlee’s interactions as flirting (I have yet to find which ones but I’ll link to them when I find them). Someone pointed out that Holly playing softball and roller derby are often lesbian stereotypes so that could be a hint at her sexuality.

Mom (Back 4 Blood) - bisexual (canon)

Mom and Doc are said to be written as a relationship by one of the developers. Mom was married and had children too. They seem to really care about each other in conversation.

Doc (Back 4 Blood) - sapphic (canon)

Same as above.

Karlee (Back 4 Blood) - lesbian (potential?)

Karlee was stated to have grown close to Sharice (but not clarified in what way) and gave her one of her pins. Some people interpret her interactions with Holly as flirting or think she’s queer because of her punkish design and demeanor. Although she was confirmed to not be trans (some people had confusion over her gender from a texturing error).

Sharice (Back 4 Blood) - lesbian (potential?)

Same as above.

(Back 4 Blood) There is a line from Jim implying none of the characters are straight in response to someone. Lines being (not exact as I just saw a post about it) “I hope this is straight forward” “Only thing straight around here is how the crow flies”. Of course this phrase is used in other contexts, but it’s funny to think about.

Where did you get the idea to have Caroline as the ghost in the machine? I love her.

I love thinking about Caroline and GLaDOS and all of the different ways you can interpret that relationship. Since from what we know in the games, GLaDOS doesn't readily have access to Caroline's memories until prompted as a potato, and even then we don't know the extent to which she remembers. Then, later on, GLaDOS clearly views "Caroline" as something that she wants to delete, a source of those emotions that she doesn't like, and tries to remove that, even though "Want You Gone" makes it seem pretty clear that she wasn't as successful as that as she'd like to be. One way to look at it is that Caroline is an inextricable part of herself, that Caroline and GLaDOS are one and the same. But for The Long Game, I thought it would be fun if that wasn't quite the case. If I took the "Now little Caroline is in here too" lyric more literally, and had an actual successfully-uploaded Caroline floating around in the systems. [Bonus info: in this instance, GLaDOS is a copy made of that original Caroline upload, but heavily modified at the hands of the Aperture scientists to better suit their purposes.] TLG also has a very small cast, so adding a digital ghost as a character at least brought up the main character count to three. Allows for a bit more variation for conversation than just GLaDOS and Chell. Anyway I love my literal deux ex machina.

Bracket E thoughts:

"Brand New Day" and "Alive" are both very good, but I'm a sucker for Anthony Warlow's Hyde. He just sounds so happy to unleash his inner evil! :)

"Philistine" fucking slaps, and as much as I love "Snuff Out the Light," I want to make everyone appreciate this rockin' number as much as I do. She spends the entire song ripping Travis apart, pointing out how his vengeance doesn't make him noble, his anger doesn't make him cool, and he's a pervy otaku. She rhymes aeternum with sternum. Having listened to both versions, I think the English version is better in the vocals because they're clearer, but the Japanese version has a kickass climax at 3:15.

I'm a perpetual fan of GLaDOS' songs, and I really enjoy the thinly veiled spite in "Still Alive."

"Mean Green Mother From Outer Space" is a fun song, but I am a self-admitted sucker for Joey Richter being a hammy villain in "Wagon on Fire".

Further research has indicated "Grand Ceremony" is indicative of the pompousness and fakeness of Manley, who is universally regarded as a prick. I don't know this game, but I can definitely get that vibe from this one.

"In the Dark of the Night" is always a classic, but I voted for "A Million Gruesome Ways to Die" because it's hilarious to me that Barnaby is threatening to kill the player in all sorts of gruesome ways the same way you'd offer a bunch of options to a really picky customer at a restaurant. He's just trying to be helpful, he's so enthusiastic about it!

Dawn M Bennett my beloved makes this modern-day hypocritical dirty cowgirl seem unironically cool every time she sings. Also the Banzai Blasters apparently just fucking shot her parents to death which is some fucking whiplash from "Great at Crime," to say the least. Anyway go listen to Zora's surprise musical backstory.

This might just be because I'm not an Ace Attorney fan, but I didn't really get a lot out of Distant Traces of Beauty" in terms of villainy? Like from what I've read it makes sense in context but it just doesn't give me the villain vibes I was hoping for. Also I have to give points to "I'm a Professional" for being made up entirely on the spot.

SO PREPARE FOR THE COUP OF THE CENTURY! BE PREPARED FOR THE MURKIEST SCAM--

Holy shit that's Captain Marvel's actress? How and why the fuck is she rocking that song so well??? Anyway vote for "Black Sheep," a.k.a the much-needed "fuck you Scott" song.

Ok I submitted "Grandpa's Going to Sue the Pants Off of Santa," but...it's not a good song. It's really not. And even without knowing Les Mis that well, Alun Armstrong is doing such a good job of getting across who Thénardier is by being such a delightful scumbag.

I already can tell "Slipping" is going to win, which is fair, but I needed to vote for "What You Feel" because it is a bop.

As several people have pointed out, "That's Not How the Story Goes" is not really a villain song so much as a song lamenting the horror of the world they live in which happens to feature Count Olaf. Since the villain is listed as Olaf and not The Narrative Itself, I voted for "The Whole Being Dead Thing," which is also a very good song in a completely opposite direction from its opponent.

Holy fuck, why is "Where There's A Whip, There's A Way" so good. Why do the orcs harmonize so well. What the shit.

Have I mentioned that I love Queen Latifah's singing? Because I love her singing. She is having so much fun here.

"Open Up Your Eyes" is a pretty good villain song in an unfortunately mediocre movie that tells me a lot about who the villain is and why she villains, while "You Will Remember" veered kind of too hard into generic rock song territory. Like, I know it's supposed to be an allusion to Ember's backstory, but that backstory wasn't even in the show itself...

Oh yeah and also the person who uploaded that video apparently committed a shooting, which isn't relevant to this bracket, but was a big surprise when I scrolled down to the comments.

Some good opinions 👍

8 and/or 11 for the ask game? :0

YEESSS!

8: I do find Wheatley x OneOne to be extremely funny and idk if this counts but MEL x Chell is also pretty cool albeit obscure.

11: OKAY SO- For me, I love it when done well and I love the musical so it’d be weirder if I didn’t. There has been a lot of human designs that I love (shoutout to @the-dangerous-mute-lunatic , @ziggizapz and @hysterixa because they immediately come to mind when I think of amazing human designs for the bots on tumblr)

But I am grateful that I got into Portal now because damn some of the fans back then (like peak fandom popularity) lack SO MUCH creativity its astounding. Just the same copy and paste twink for the cores over and over. BUT you guys did have a lot of really good Glados designs, I will say that.

Howdy folks! Take a fandom DTIYS!

Be sure to use the #larkscribblesdtiys tag! (Tag me too for good measure!)

This is just for fun! No time limit at all! Feel free to spice up the image however you want! (I wanted to add GLaDOS and Wheatley in the portals but alas… it was not to be).

(Instagram has held me hostage on the same follower count for too long so we haven’t had a DTIYS in a while.)
