    GLaDOS.

    Chell will be on the next post and I’ll be making ones for Doug and the other cores as well ^^

  • feeling stupid as hell because I somehow only just now realized that the companion cube is to chel what chel is to glados. like as far as being an object, a research tool, something towards which an emotional attachment is ridiculous but also inevitable. something that you know you'll have to throw in the incinerator later and which never says a word to you, and yet you can't help yourself from falling in a strange kind of love. damn this game gay

  • normally id put this in tags but fucking. the bit in portal 2 about the companion cube. where she taunts you with it again. a return of something that might have affection or compassion for you, but you cant be sure. a surprise reunion.

    she taunts you with companion cubes that are out of reach but keep getting destroyed by her. upset about how close you were to finding that connection again. she even talks about how maybe one couldve talked. but we'll never know now because it's gone. and the fact that she gives you the ORIGINAL beat-up companion cube, still just fine (if burnt), when you finally leave the facility for good at the end.

    Fucking.

    the lesbian undertones are suffocating

  • Everytime i play portal 2 there’s some new part of the story that makes it all feel so agonizingly lesbian and every time i play it i also get this sense that this reading is almost entirely unintentional

  • The developer commentary track makes 0 mention of a developing relationship between glados and the player, besides some mentions that they initially wanted to make her more mean until playtesters complained about her being too mean.

  • There’s a line in her ending song that goes “one day they woke me up, so i could live forever. It’s such a shame the same will never happen for you” did you want to spend eternity with chell, glados. Is that what that means. Like i know you’re all “haha i’m immortal and you’ve got a short sad life” but.

  • Well I mean, this is what the devs had to say about them.

  • Something something the visceral horror GLaDOS must feel after watching Chell for so long, only for her test subject to literally go off the rails and disappear inside of her.

    It's such a fantastic reversal of power! In an instant, it changes the genre from Chell's psychological nightmare into Glados's body horror.

    This whole time Glados has been creating a psychosexual connection to her lab rat, and now that rat worms its way through her body in a way she can't track.

    There's almost an intimacy about the rooms Chell solves being specifically tailored for her to see. They're a dishonest facade, until Chell escapes from the predetermined path and sees what Glados truly is/looks like, and ventures all the way to the heart of her, stripping her bare.

    "What if you were a massive mechanical complex and I skittered through your insides and climbed into the heart of your most private and vital organs? And we were both women?"

    This too, is Yuri

  • idk what you guys are talking about. when i played portal glados only said nice things about me. she said i was the prettiest test subject and super nice and good at portals and she wanted to be my girlfriend. she said she was initially going to kill me but i won her heart. maybe she just doesn’t like you?
