I don't know if i can say anything that hasn't been said before. All I'm going to say is.
I owe this game a lot. Without it, this blog wouldn't be here. Because of it, so many amazing projects have been made. It was a cultural moment and I wish to never forget it.
A sketch page with a light blue background.
In the top left is a sketch of Claptrap from Borderlands holding a bisexual pride flag, with an arrow pointing at him from text that reads "Banned from every pride parade".
In the top right is a sketch of Wheatley and Rick from Portal 2. Wheatley looks nervous, and Rick is wearing a straight pride pin. There is an arrow pointing at Rick and Wheatley from a bisexual flag and text that reads "All Aperture Personality Cores(TM) are programmed to be bisexual".
In the middle left is a sketch of HAL9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey. He looks happy, and is covered in pride stickers. The stickers are a rainbow flag, an mlm flag heart, and an achillean flag circle.
In the middle is a sketch of AM from I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. The word "HATE" is written across him in rainbow colors. An arrow points towards him from text reading "Homophobic".
In the bottom left is a sketch of P03 from Inscryption. It has a small trans flag displayed on its screen. It has dialogue stating "Trans rights, but only for me" with a smiling emoticon.
In the bottom right is a sketch of T.E.R.R.Y. from Dream Corp LLC. He looks overwhelmed, with dialogue stating "I want to be irresistible to both sexes!!". In brackets, it is stated that this dialogue is from Season 1, Episode 4 of the show.
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鈥檚 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鈥檛 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鈥檛 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鈥檚 the main essence of the au, still working on it and some plots here and there but, like most of my fandom aus, it鈥檚 really self indulgent slice of life crap LOL
if you have questions or feedback don鈥檛 hesitate to let me know! :>
