aperture really made a robot so bratty that she choked out their entire staff

She’s Good At Testing, There’s No Denying That. In Terms Of Results, She’s The Best Test Subject I’ve Ever Had. Which Is Strange, Because She’s Not Even The Smartest Test Subject I’ve Ever Had. I’ve Had Plenty With A Higher IQ Score, And They Still Performed Poorly In Comparison. Mostly Because They Died.

Sadly, She Also Happens To Be A Lunatic. And In The End, The Negatives Outweigh The Positives. She’s Just Not Worth It. It’s Such A Shame… All Of The Science We Could’ve Done Together…

As For The Rat, Oh, I Would If I Could. The Problem Is I Just Can’t Find Him. Even With My Expanded Access To The Facility, There’s Still Some Blindspots. Little Cracks Here And There… His Little Holes In The Walls. But Believe Me, I’m Working On It.

lesbian bitches don’t even say good luck babe anymore. they just torture you forever

You’re Being Ridiculous. Where Would She Even Kiss Me? I Don’t Have A Mouth. Or Cheeks.

Maybe You Want To Kiss Her, Since You Keep Bringing It Up. Do You Want To Kiss Chell? Well Bad News. She’s A Heartless Killer, And I Doubt She Wants To Kiss You Back. I Bet She’s A Heartbreaker. If I Had Records On Her Romantic History, I Could Confirm That.

valve making toxic yuri just for them to be doomed in the end

I haven’t made an animation in awhile, so here you go you hungry hungry feins

Who ordered a post full of messy portal sketches… (And a mediocre attempt at human glados)

i think we should revive the portal fandom in 2026 actually

Hear me out

The ship name for ChellDOS should be Neurotoxic Yuri.

🥔.

I need more people to write chelldos/glados x reader fanfic without making glados into an android or a human. I beg you. You may not be able to fall in love with a robot that’s technically the size of a building and has a smaller body that is a cool ass chassis that hangs from the ceiling but I CAN!!!!!!

Everyone’s always debating whether glados and chell were in love or mother and daughter like WHY NOT BOTH #myyuricest

I love kittycoded glados, like, huge extreme fan here, but owning a cat again makes me realize CHELL is the asshole cat who rips up your furniture and knocks over water glasses and claws at your doors to get in rooms. She’s biting you biting you biting you biting you biti

im gonna become a chelldos enthusiast i think

Chell swears she can hear it.

It’s hidden in the radio transmissions broadcasting combine propaganda. It’s hidden beneath the static. It weaves its way in between the half-understood scratchy words of the members of an underground resistance coordinating against their alien overlords. Words of discouragement, her name, and only sometimes, music.

She knew that it was Glados reaching out, trying to let Chell know that she is still there beneath the earth nearby and that the facility still stands ready.

And so, each night, she would pull her blanket up to her chin and turn on a dead radio channel and she would sleep soundly to the extant transmissions of robotic misery, drunk on her spite as it called her fat and stupid and yet, when she fell asleep, it would sometimes play individually composed lullabies that echoed softly through the bombed out building that Chell called home.

The wheat fields swayed in the wind, a telescopic lense mounted on a carbon fibre aperture brand entenser device rose up high above the golden sea of wheat ears. From its point anchored to the maintenance shack, the camera fixed on one spot far away, unwavering.

Guys you have no idea the amount of self restraint I am implicating on myself these last couple of days to not just reblog this post every waking day since it got revived.

*exhales through teeth*

The little boost of joy is either from the joy at seeing the Mom Theory get debunked (again) and seeing others become aware it was just a gamer bro theory used to explain how “They aren’t gay! (Even if the songs Glad0s sings directed at the player (Chell) are strangely melancholic and tender.)”, or seeing a bunch of random people who never played Portal 2 come and point out “Oh, that wasn’t just Chelldos Shippers being delusional or incestuous as they were accused of since Portal came out in 2011.” 😭

God, its been 15 years, 15 years of having to hear “Eww, don’t you know she’s Chell’s mother! How could you want to ship that” whenever I wanted to mention the ship, all the while looking back at the game’s context that in its own dialogue debunks that Chell is related to Cave or Caroline, and that even if it was true that: Glad0s was a copy of Caroline’s conscience, there’s been years and years and years of Glad0s just existing and changing (even if a little) to a point in her existence where she no longer maybe the old Caroline all made more evident by Portal 2 itself ending with Glad0s saying she deleted Caroline from herself. 😭

If anyone is Cave or Caroline’s daughter (metaphorically), it would be Glad0s, not Chell.

The game itself tells/implies Chell’s parents were random Apature workers, who just happened to have their daughter there as a participant that day for the science fair (Giant Potato Project that says “By Chell”) when things went to shit. She’s an average human from an average background only marked as “special” because of her tenacity to not give up (the personality quirk that has her survive all the bs she goes through even when humanity (before the glad0s rampage leading to Chell’s sleep) had labeled that as a potential problem).

Or seeing people finally acknowledge the simple fact that the phrase “Cara Mia” is explained by multiple sources as a term of romantic endearment more than that of a familiar one. So that Glad0s’ song called “Cara Mia” referencing Chell isn’t exclusively taken in as “A song from a mother to her daughter”; more so because in the song, it also uses the term “Bambina” which sure can be translated to “Little Girl” but is also translated to “Baby Girl” and is a slang word used on attractive good looking young women. So people aren’t “sexual weirdos” for reading it as romantic between Chell and Glad0s.

Honorable mention to the commentators reminding/pointing out how Glad0s was designed to get “Euphoric Chemicals released into her systems” as a reward by any participant who completed her puzzles, which the game briefly mentions Chell being the only repeat successful test subject. (So successful that Portal 2 ends with the “break up” mentioned in the interview, aka Glad0s kicking Chell out into the world.)

I just…

I just…

i miss them so much

thinking about (one of) my (many) human chelldos au’s where glados is a twitch streamer who was an og internet denizen/gamer from the 90s and chell is an entirely offline zillennial mechanic who wanders into glados’s shot sometimes and makes the chat go absolutely wild

And people say they’re straight….

i really like the parallels between glados and wheatley between portal 2 because it just makes me love glados even more. Not to put wheatley down. he’s fine. but. I love glados

The parallels in question:

• Chell has an AI thrust onto her (literally or metaphorically)
• She’s carries them around for a while because they become immobile and are now relying on her to take them place to place.
• They promise her an escape. She is now trusting them to fulfill that promise – either that, or she has no better plan herself and decides that it’s worth a shot following through with their plan.
• Both have to gain her trust somehow because they initially do not have it from Chell; for GLaDOS it’s only logical that Chell doesn’t trust her at first as a potato. With Wheatley, however, it’s less logical because he hasn’t done anything to her, but I think it’s sort of evident in how she doesn’t catch Wheatley when he falls off his management rail. Her not catching him could be for literally any other reason, but I personally interpret as a lack of trust from her end.
• She hauls the immobile AI to the central AI chamber and plugs them into the stick thing (no idea what it’s called)
• The AI takes over the facility.

Where the similarities end is that GLaDOS both fulfills her promise of letting her go and also doesn’t immediately go insane, unlike Wheatley. Caroline’s presence could be an explanation for this, but I personally am under the belief that Caroline isn’t actually like. Another voice in GLaDOS’ head telling her what to do. GLaDOS explains it as a consciousness, and I think that morality is gained from her realizing that she, too, was human, and the obvious appreciation she gained for Chell. I think her “deleting” Caroline was just her replacing the walls she’d taken down in order to be vulnerable with Chell for a total of five seconds. I could go more into detail but that’d just be me theorizing/headcanoning at that point. So. I won’t.

In conclusion parallels are awesome and GLaDOS is even awesome-er
