“It’s definitely spicy” Pearl, circa 2024, while ZITS casually die of heat in the background (followed by False calling her completely unfazed)

"Now, we're not looking for any trouble, y'hear? We're 'round these parts to do our business, just like how you're here to do yours. So how about we all act like civilized folk and you set that gun of yours down before something... bad happens."

people really used to talk in a way. i remember i was reading this paper a while ago about homophobia in hippie scenes and this guy shared how when he was living in the haight with his boyfriend one evening two young woman came round and tried to fuck them and when they realized they werent interested one said to the other “this is a fag pad, let’s split!” before leaving. which i’m sure was very hurtful and i dont want to make light of that. she shouldnt have said it. but also god i think of that sentence all the time

While I personally prefer the industrial aesthetic of Portal 2, it's kinda hard to deny that Portal 1's BTS areas had a sort of vibe to them that is unlike Portal 2's take on it.
The industrial areas from Portal 1 are basically a hell of nonsensical technology. It's hilarious, it seems like GLaDOS rebuilding the place from scratch after her awakening somehow made it arguably LESS of a nightmare.
I mean, just look at this.
That's not so bad? OK. It gets worse.
Why did Aperture have these devices.
What do these pistons even DO they're just here to crush people and smudge up the ceilings with MOLD. Did they put these here so the janitors would always have massive stains on the ceiling they would have to clean (or, more than likely, die trying)?????????
Some of these areas look like they wouldn't even be TRAVERSABLE unless they just handed portal guns out willy nilly.
You know you've fucked up when the homicidal robot is more generous with catwalk placement than whatever termite mound of construction workers that had to pile on top of eachother to build all of this. The only areas I'd argue look even remotely hospitable are the offices, which actually do look kinda cozy, but you'd probably end up getting squashed by a stray piston before you could even GET there.
Y'know Chell is pretty formidable but I think who we really need to fear is whoever the hell worked maintenance before the incident because if you can survive this building-sized tetanus-infested oven I'm pretty sure not even the fuckin Combine would be much of an issue for you.
"Oh yeah I had to dodge like 10 pistons in order to get to Turret Manufacturing" like JESUS CHRIST.

Yea ok but if that really is the Summer Maiden behind them and she’s just a kid and they put these two in charge of training and guiding her
The mother who abandoned her own child and killed the prior Spring Maiden both out of fear and the sibling who was loyal to the wrong person until it was almost too late and was unable to save her baby sister… I’m sure they’re coping fine with that responsibility
