that’s right, i’m not here anymore! i’ve decided to move caroline & glados to my multi-muse @oftextmessages to make organization easier and cut down on jumping across like ten different blogs in one day. i’ll be keeping this blog up as an archive , but i’m not actively posting here anymore, so if you want more caroline in your life, as well as countless other fictional characters who deserved better than what they got, i suggest following my multi!

heyo long time no see! it’s like i’m never on this blog anymore which is kind of a shame bc i would love to keep writing but it is just so hard to find energy to write for caroline and even harder to do it for glados, so i guess what i’m trying to say is i’m putting this blog on a rather ambiguous semi-hiatus / extremely low activity warning. i’ll be checking in, maybe even sending memes to others and replying sporadically to the few threads and ask memes i haven't dropped and have stashed in my drafts, but i won’t really be doing anything new with this blog for now

i’m mostly active on my multi here or my oc here in case anyone wants to see activity from me, or you can message me off anon for my d!scord, but yeah

      ❝ You have a point in that it's silly to obsess over something so small, but I don’t think anyone should need to hide their flaws. It’s better to just accept that they exist and press on with your life than it is to drive yourself crazy trying to conceal them. ❞

[musicallyiinclined]

PSA: If we thread together, and especially if I really like your blog/character, I will flood your inbox with memes and asks, and I will want to turn each one of them into a thread.

But! If it ever gets to be too much, let me know! Or feel free to ignore ones that you think don’t have any potential. Or shoot me an ask telling me to calm down. I promise I’ll understand, especially if you have a thousand other threads with people, or aren’t on much, or don’t like me as much as I like you. 

I know drafts can start to weigh a person down when they get too many, and I don’t ever want my partners to get overwhelmed. I just love threading with you! But please don’t ever feel like just because I send it, you have to answer.

okay I’m sorry if this has already been posted but now that Half Life 2: Episode 3′s summary has been released (look it up–I can’t link to it or this post won’t show up in the tags, thanks Tumblr), WE NOW HAVE A MORE PRECISE LOCATION FOR APERTURE!!!

Okay, so, we have the Borealis’s drydock here:

[screenshot of the Borealis’s dry dock in Old Aperture in Portal 2, courtesy of the Half-Life Wiki]

We also know that Aperture is located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (or UP):

[image of a newspaper clipping found in Old Aperture, reading “THE UP PIONEER PRESS: LOCAL ENTREPRENEUR BUYS SALT MINE – Cave Johnson to Bring Science, Industry to Upper Michigan,” courtesy of the Half-Life wiki]

(Upper Michigan always refers to the Upper Peninsula)

But… the UP is a big place, and there’s no known salt mines up there (personal headcanon: the salt mine was wiped off the map when Cave Johnson bought it). So where is Aperture?

We never knew… until now.

[screenshot from the official summary of Half Life 2: Episode 3, emphasizing “a dry-docked liner situated at the Aperture Science Research Base in Lake Huron,” courtesy of the valvetime forums]

The summary states that the Borealis was originally in a dry dock in Aperture’s research base in Lake Huron. Now, this could imply there was a separate research base, except…

[screenshot from the official summary of Half Life 2: Episode 3, emphasizing “the ship … would then travel instantaneously to any chosen destination … Unfortunately, the device had never been tested,” courtesy of the valvetime forums]

The Borealis’s transportation mechanism had never before been tested. Meaning that, yes, the aforementioned dry dock is indeed the one we see in Portal 2. Which means…

[map showing Michigan’s Lower and Upper Peninsulas, with the southeast coast of the UP circled, courtesy of Google Maps]

Aperture is somewhere along the southeast coast of the UP.

Now the question is… anyone know if there’s a wheat field around there?

"Examine!" ..a portal gun?

accepting !! || portal: the rpg

+ Looking at: The Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device

+ Formerly known as the Aperture Science Portable Quantum Tunneling Device, this newly redesigned testing element allows you to place two linked portals on any surface coated with refined moon rock dust or gel. The device also implements use of a zero-point energy field manipulator, though not a very powerful one, as it is only able to pick up objects directly in front of it. The device itself is powered by a miniature black hole, kept cool by a fan located in the rear of the device. It is quite durable and is one of Aperture’s more stable innovations, able to withstand temperatures of up to 4000 degrees Kelvin. 

+ You may not participate in testing yourself, you’re too busy bending to your boss’s demands and trying to keep the facility running as smoothly as possible on his behalf, but you know that most of Aperture’s test chambers are unsolvable without the portal gun.

Send “Examine!” and an item or person and I’ll write an RPG description of it/them.

(For example, a stormtrooper mask:

 “A white mask with a black visor on the front. Putting it on, you realise that the visor isn’t even transparent. How are you expected to do anything competently like this?”)

         he knows he’s the walking paradox that he is: everything he was, he was simultaneously the opposite. not that he’d ever tell anyone anything about that. ( he’s cool, he’s amazing, he’s narcissistic. no human being needed to know he was simultaneously the opposite. ) though, when he’s thinking this thought as someone says something about paradoxes being able to cause glitches, it makes him curious:  ❛ hey, queen bee, how is it possible for a human to be both narcissistic and the king of self loathing ? ❜  ( he’s sure there are cameras watching his interaction with the newest robot: he’s got an excuse ready, he’s talking about an old camp friend that he just got in contact with. )

      Everything he says he is and everything he displays; the false confidence, the loud and obnoxious demeanor, all of it; is a front and She acknowledges it the second he starts talking. He isn’t fooling anyone, least of all Her. “ If you were trying to elicit a response that would cause my programming to glitch at the mention of a logical contradiction, you would need to try harder than that. You cannot be both. You are one or the other. In your case, I’d say that you feel a crushing sense of inadequacy and insecurity compared to all of your peers. You are obsessed with appearing ‘cool’ and you desperately seek the approval of anyone you deem worthy of also being ‘cool’, in the futile hope that perhaps you’ll hate yourself less if you can gain your much needed validation from a third party. You’re also a liar, and a bad one at that. “
