A Portal / Half-Life-centric blog. I'm a silly old fan returning to the world of Aperture and Black Mesa and loving it all over again. Teaching myself to draw just to make Cave Johnson memes.Hag-of-Ages on Ao3 24 | they/them

Aperture-hag - Science May Kill You But You Can't Kill Science! - Tumblr Blog
HOUR 4: Okay I had my lunch break and did another hour. This day is actually flying by, which is surprising. Clocked in about 4,700 words.
currently listening to Hard Light Bridge from the Portal Revolution soundtrack
Greetings friends, Aperture-Hag here! So when I saw that my writing music playlist was almost exactly 8 hours long it got me thinking - “if someone can be expected to work 8 hours as a “standard work day,” what would happen if someone spent that time doing nothing but writing?” So that’s what I’m testing on myself today. Starting at 12pm Mountain Standard Time I will be spending an entire “work day” just writing (yes, probably all fanfic). I’ll do check in posts on my mental state every hour with one hour long “lunch” break.
No matter what you’re up to today, let’s all make it a good one!

CRINGETOBER DAY 5: GIJINKA

HOUR 3: Guess who's on a roll and is struggling to find a place to stop? That's right, this guy! Except I need to grab some lunch. My break starts now.
currently listening to Caravan from the Whiplash soundtrack.

HOUR 2: Okay I'm getting a little tired of it already but I'm determined to keep going. I've hit my over 2,000 word count and am sad it's not going higher. Granted, I didn't outline this scene, so I'm chugging through it hard.
currently listening to Transitional Period [funnel] from the Portal Stories: Mel Soundtrack

HOUR 1: It took a while to actually get warmed up to writing but I'm currently on a roll. Snacks help.
currently listening to RE:0 from the soundtrack of the movie Promare.

Cave Johnson here. A lot of the lab boys have recently informed me that they're lab girls now. That's great, amazing. Good for you, but don't inform me on company time! Do your work, goddammit!
Oh, and by the way, after you do finish work today make sure to grab your Aperture Science provided Aperture Science Gender Euphoria kit.
No, there's no catch. It's free. No, this revision won't have any harmful or deadly viruses and/or items in it this time.
Now get to work. Cave Johnson out.

me and glados if she were real

felt very regular about this game recently

someone take my computer away


Wanted to sleep the other night but my brain wouldn’t let me until I doodled Young Cave Johnson with big ol fangs for some reason. Happy spooky season.
“Cave Johnson here. You’ve heard that man’s ultimate weapon is his brain. Well that wasn’t good enough for me. I wanted nature’s natural defense mechanisms back, so I asked the lab boys to give me big teeth like the jungle’s fiercest predator - the fruit bat! I’m pleased to announce the experiment has been a fang-tactic success! Heh. That being said I will no longer be smiling in pictures.”
There She Is is such a melancholic song about a beautiful woman you loved but had to kill and when you see her untouched corpse surrounded in a field of green you think shes beautiful like ophelia
