Oh have you ever drawn Caroline saying her incoming “goodbye Caroline” line?
How do you see her when she said it?! I’m curious!
I had to draw her today so I could say “yes I have”
The following is, of course, my opinion.
To me, Caroline is a very intelligent, clever woman. There’s a misconception that Caroline was being your average ditzy secretary when she says this line, but to me, she was making a clever joke. She probably said it with a smile and a wink at Cave when the recording you hear in old Aperture was originally made. She and Cave worked well with each other and understood one another on a certain level, to where they just knew exactly what the other was talking about. Not sure if telepathic is the right word. But they understood each other more than any other two people in Aperture did.
But there’s a melancholy angle too, I think. Goodbye, Caroline. The meaning changes as the years went by. It starts off as a joke, but I think Caroline gives more and more to Aperture as time passes, and she devotes her life to it (Cave doesn’t call her the backbone of the facility for nothing). She gives even more once Cave falls sick and eventually dies, and she takes over.
Eventually, she’s given so much of herself to Aperture and to science—once she’s given all a human being can possibly give—that, in the end, she becomes Aperture.
Goodbye, Caroline.

I wanna hear about your AUs!
So, I really love Swap AU’s—they always seem really fun, and a bit ago, I finally thought of one. Although, I don’t have everything for it—I’m still working on them all.
The basic idea for this one is that Swap!Cassie is at the Pizza Plex (not set during Ruin, she just takes Gregory’s role), and as you’d imagine, there’s trouble... but who will help her?
All of the animatronics are under the affects of the virus, and going after her. The only exception still being Swap!Sun, but, anyways—that’s where Swap!Glitchtrap comes into the AU.
Eventually finding Swap!Cassie, he decides to go and help/protect her—alongside Swap!Vanny helping out with that, too. So she’s got them to help her now, at least.
Due to being a Swap!AU, I guess the one causing all of the stuff would be some sort of version of Henry? I’m unsure if he’d have someone with him, though. I do have a few ideas, though.
A part of me wants to have Dr. Rabbit here somehow. Either Swap!Dr. Rabbit is also helping Cassie out with the other two, or, despite being a swap... he’s not working with them—instead, working under Swap!Henry.
Or I might just not have him at all—could be Swap!Glitchtrap & Swap!Vanny helping her out, while, if Swap!Henry has someone with him... it could just be, like, Beta Tester Jeremy or something.
So... yeah- just a Swap AU where Glitchtrap (and Vanny) help out Cassie.

anyone looking for a haunted doll? :D
soooo, this isn't the costume i wore today, i actually wore this when i went out saturday, but i've been meaning to post it here anyway so now's a good enough time as any! i had to pull something together with just stuff i had in my closet, and i'm pretty proud of how it turned out! especially the makeup, but that wasn't my doing, my brother did that for me, haha. i can't do makeup for shit gdshdslkfjd <3
i didn't want this post to get too long, so under the cut there's some self indulgent selfies (uhh ignore how frizzy the wig is in them, she was a bit of a mess even before she got rained on XD), and some fun with mirrors—the one with the blue background was taken in one of the bathrooms of the bar we were in, the mirror had a kind of fish eye effect because of its shape and i thought that was Neat :0
