Science may kill you but you can't kill science!

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

I Finally Finished The Chell Fanart I've Been Working On For A While

a digital drawing of Chell from portal

she is falling/jumping into an orange portal, one arm slightly raised to the portal gun that is falling along with her

the image is tinted in a cyan to orange gradient, with chell being colored mainly in orange tones, yellow highlights and lines in a deeper red

behind chell, two red lines reach between the left and right side of the drawing, above them the text "are you still there?"

only slightly visible in the background is the hint of a turret looming behind her, its eye thingy about half as big as chell

I finally finished the Chell fanart I've been working on for a while

I explained to a friend in detail the dynamic I think Cave and Caroline had, and my friend goes, “I get it, it’s Soft Toxic Platonic Codependency” and I lost it because it was perfect.

Soft because they genuinely care about each other and enjoy their time together

Toxic because they’re both bad people who enable each other’s worst behaviors and never try to improve

Platonic because Caroline likes women and Cave’s only interest is science

Codependency because they actively put the needs of their company over their own wellness (to which end Caroline is ultimately asked to sacrifice more)

Yknow alot of people get angry over ships, I totally get it, you're attached to those characters, you hate to see people talk shit or misrepresent. Not me though I get angry over actual ships, like, SHIPS, those things that go in the water. This one in particular

This motherfucker has caused me so much stress ever since I found its docking area in Portal 2. I'm like Captain Ahab if the White Whale was a ship, and the ship was The Borealis. If I'm being 100% honest, this is my number one reason why Valve's development practices regarding the Half-Life series pisses me off, I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS SHIP
