I’m Still Alive

💕 Portal/writing sideblog 💕 stillalivedoingscience in 2k22

[stillalivedcingscience]

hi! my name is stillalivedoingscience, although I go by many other names on this site too. I used to run a popular portal blog back in 2012-2014, but I’ve never been able to relinquish the hold Portal chronically has on my brain, so I remade this sideblog as a place to occasionally post Portal content. you should also expect objectum content once in a while. Hyperfixating on Stranger Things right now on another side blog, I’m sorry

i still write Portal fanfiction sometimes, which you will find here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/stillalivedoingscience/works

currently mostly focusing these days on the 2022-version of my longfic, Target Acquired. currently ~175,000 words on AO3, Target Acquired is a post-game AU in which Chell and Wheatley aren’t banished from Aperture at the end of the game and have to find a way to forgive and forget enough to form an alliance and escape from Aperture - hopefully for good, this time. (I started writing this fic back in 2011, with a desire to explore all Portal characters and Aperture backstory with a focus on friendship and adventure opposed to shipping) (hope someday I get to see this thing finished, otherwise it’s gonna live in my brain for all of eternity, orz)

Honestly my old evil Wheatley art still does kinda go hard

Inspired by this song, back in the day:

[stonedtrucksdotcom]

Sparkle on! Don’t forget to struggle like you’re stuck in a tar pit

[starslikesepias]

being hyperfixated on a 20 year old game with a small fandom is NOT for the weak

[stillalivedcingscience]

It lives in a lot of our hearts forever tho

[stillalivedcingscience]

sometimes I do like the words I write

Target Acquired chapter 11, Pit Boss:

With a familiar sssshhhhhrrrkk, Chell dragged the makeshift bed she’d used overnight into the beam of sunlight. She fanned this out methodically, arranging the ripped pieces into an organized pattern she felt satisfied with, before stepping over to the turret. Preparing to bear its weight, Chell bent at the knees, struggling, but managed to wiggle it over to the pile of cardboard by sheer willpower. She placed it down carefully directly in the middle, so that the beam of sunlight fell right onto the sleeping turret’s pearly white face with the most radiant iridescent sheen.

Then, she stepped over to the remains of the fire, picking up a half-burned stick of wood, taking care not to touch the charcoaled end of it. She then knelt at the turret’s feet and began to write with the stick.

Here lies Turret, until the end times, she transcribed in messy, unpracticed charcoal-black letters, pushing back the sudden, extreme awareness that she probably looked identical to someone else who had once passed through these walls and left cryptic pictures and messages scrawled here just like she was doing now. Who helped us when no one else would. May his/her all-seeing, all-knowing spirit fly, unbound by the walls of this chamber, and live to soar skyward through this opened ceiling and out into the heavens beyond. 

Dropping the stick, she then fell back to examine her handiwork. With an almost angelic innocence, the turret’s face glowed moon-white, its pale casing glinting as they slept on in peaceful unawares, a biblical slumber until, like she had written, the end times. They were unaware that this was their final goodbye, unaware that they were all unequivocally setting off in their separate directions to begin a last, grand Quest, one that would probably be full of the kinds of dangers and adventure only someplace like Aperture could provide.

Goodbye, Turret, thought Chell with a solemn pang of finality.

“Goodbye, Turret,” echoed Wheatley, his voice quiet, very fittingly subdued.

Then, figuring that there was no more point in dawdling, she turned her back to the turret shrine and started down the remaining bit of hall, making her way towards the exit.

It’s a regular evening after school in the Brock household. Dylan is lying about having homework, Eddie is making dinner for everyone—with his Other’s help, of course. Rated T for tongue smoochies. AKA just something fluffy, short, and cute, inspired by a page in Venom #200 (the end of King in Black). Let’s pretend nothing bad ever happens to them ever again after that. They all get to live happily ever after, right? Yes!

a little domestic Symbrock for your night 💞

btw sorry that I’ve mostly ditched this blog these days for Symbrock/Venom but looooook at them ok

(sometimes I do still chip away at Target Acquired, tho!)

THAT SECOND IMAGE IS EVERYTHINT

[stillalivedcingscience]

i mean i probably still have those two bookmarked lol

Hahaha lmao

damn I wanted to reread part but ao3 keeps going down

some of it was incredibly hilarious back in the day

[stillalivedcingscience]

CASUAL REMINDER that I had at one point written a 20k fic in which evil Wheatley accidentally installs a robotic p*nis onto his chassis and infuses Chell’s air supply with a lust vapour and it is probably one of the funniest pieces of nsfw fiction Portal has seen and it’s so cringe but it is absolutely funny as hell

bless
