As A Fandom We Need To Come Up With Something Clef Can Tell Meri About Why He Killed L*lly That Wont

as a fandom we need to come up with something Clef can tell Meri about why he killed L*lly that won’t send her spiraling with the knowledge that she herself could end the world, and that the person who gave birth to her was an abuser who ruined not only Clefs life but six other innocent girls as well, flooded and killed a whole town, and worshipped what Meri would interpret as satan. Let’s let her be blissfully ignorant of that.

look. Your Chell can pine and forgive GLaDOS. That is fine. Chelldos shippers are my allies and friends.

HOWEVER

my Chell can’t sleep at night because she’s scared she will wake up in testing. My Chell has trust issues and is taking time to heal. My chell will never go back to apature, even facing down an armada of combine ships. Because she won. She got out of there. It never even occurs to her that GLaDOS loves her, because she simply cannot understand her. My Chell would run far and fast from a safe human settlement if P-body and Atlas showed up.

we can, however, agree that GLaDOS is pineing like an evergreen tree.

I know its been almost 8 years since I’ve posted any kind of fan art but I couldn’t help myself.

Here have some Inspector Irratino, specifically for the only other four people in the Murdle fandom.

happy pride specifically to this detective and his astrology obsessed boyfriend who won't stop faking his own death

so I’m reading lord of the rings and I just had so dumb a thought that it circled back around to cool. Chell is like the ring of power. She is incredibly powerful. Her going outside is being thrown in mount doom (leaving apature). She is a force of nature and willpower. Her leaving would bring the end of apature as we know it, ending human testing (yes I know that atlas and p-body test but that’s not exactly the same) that’s similar to how the elves had to go west without the ring. Wheatley is Isildur and Gollum, someone who could have given away the ring but didn’t, and whose hoarding it brought his own destruction. GLaDOS is both Frodo and Sauron, someone who finally let the ring go despite their attachment (yes I know Frodo didn’t give it up willingly but it’s close enough) and the person who made the ring the way it is.
