OH YEAH before the day ends: Happy 10th Anniversary to Portal 2!

[portalportalau]

Wait so I suffer from the big dumb and stumbled my way onto this blog. I’m sure you answered this question like 15 million times but what’s the au/plot?

I don’t want to come off as annoying but maybe you could pin the plot as a post so people like me won’t keep asking. Sorry holy firck

It’s okay, I suffer from Bigger Dumb for having what was really an “about” page and calling it “links.” I fixed that! Here’s the About the AU page now- with credits, a link to the wiki that explains it well, and all sorts of explanations!

Also I haven’t been on here for a LONG time so I have no idea how to pin lol!

[portalportalau]

You’re actually active again! I love your stuff, and this has to be my favorite au, well, just about ever!

I’m so glad you like it! It was such a funny accidental au that sparked among some friends, and people still finding joy in it is awesome to hear about!

[portalportalau]

I’m so happy this blog is starting to be active again

Thanks!!!

I don’t want to make any promises of being active, but I’m glad I can let all these asks/submissions see the light of day now!

Have you ever heard Cabinet Man by Lemon Demon? David in a nutshell

You know, I saw this ask a few months after you asked it, proceeded to forget it, find the song organically through a friend, fall in love with it, and come back around to see this again when I can actually answer so now I’m like ‘YOOOO’I looove that song and I love it in the context of this AU!

Hi!! I think sixfingeredfez deleted their account, so there's no way of viewing the fics they wrote on ao3 :( do you know if I can find them anywhere else?

No, I think the fics were lost when they deleted it. I’m sorry, anon!

[portalportalau]

Hi! So um, I’ve been scrolling through and I found the one where it’s about the audio of Carolina being forced to become Glados. (I’m not sure about the capitalization, sorry) I ended up coming with just a little idea that David was instead forced to become Daniel. But I don’t know.

[portalportalau]

This isn't really a question but I just want to let you know that I really love your art and I've been drawing some of your fanfiction with my own art style with my notebook and I think it's been coming along pretty well but it's nothing compared to what you've drawn

ey EY no comparing you broke the ONE RULE! ART IS RELATIVE!

Haha but I’m flattered, thank you! I know this is super late but if you ever wanted to send some of that art I bet it’s wonderful! Also I don’t actually have any fanfiction I’ve written unless you mean fanfics people wrote for the au! If so that’s rad, big thumbs up

[portalportalau]

Is Gwen Caroline? The only reason I ask is because of a wiki I saw saying she was?

Yeah she usually is! That’s where she most commonly ends up in the character lineup

[portalportalau]

When David discovers Gwen, instead of deleting her, he let's max go because not only is Gwen able to help him see when test subjects are truly distressed and he sees that max deserves freedom, but because he has a friend with him now

skylentss:

I may have gone a bit overboard

I’ve seen references to something along the lines this but haven’t seen it fully developed so I tried my hand at it (it’s very angsty I hope you like it)

Okay so!

Portal Portal but it takes place after the events of Camp Camp.

Aperture science bought the camp and very

quietly took everyone there and covered it up.

They wanted to use the kids as test subjects but had to put them in cryosleep so a testing initiative could be developed. Gwen was labeled as “too un-motivated” and put in cryosleep aswell but would not be used as a test subject.

Aperture realized how enthusiastic David was about learning and figured they could probably use him for the testing initiative; However, he was rather uncooperative seeing as how they were kidnapped. Taking the blue sky approach David was converted into an ai and altered to be more enthusiastic about the aperture cause. They erased his memories to prevent him from going insane (as you do) and replaced his love of camping with that of testing.

Waking up the children and putting them into the new testing initiative, aperture soon realized that leaving them with their memories of the camp and David probably wasn’t the best idea. It had been assumed that the encouragement of their old counselor would provide the kids with extra motivation for testing (DaVID was programmed not to inform them about the fact that he didn’t know them.) Instead, the children were so chaotic in their rebellions that they caused more damage than good to the scientific method. A certain child, by the name of Max, was considered so unruly that he had been labeled as “too stubborn”, taken off the initiative, and put into cryosleep indefinitely. To add to their troubles no matter what they did DaVID still refused to risk the kids lives in any way (it’s not that easy to remove one’s humanity.) in short, all test data was pretty much unusable. The rest of the kids were put into temporary stasis until Aperture had fixed the issues.

Aperture erased the all the kid’s memories of their prior lives to (hopefully) stop rebellion and went to the drawing board with DaVID. One of their attempts included taking out Gwen and using her as a voice for him to follow all test peramiters exactly. This, clearly, did not go well.

Eventually Aperture found Daniel, a sadistic cultist hell-bent on destroying David and the campers. Promising Daniel a chance at revenge they turned him into the Morality Dampening Sphere, also known as the Cult Core. This, went terribly. When they turned DaVID on with the newley installed Cult Core as an event during the first annual “bring your daughter to work day” Daniel managed to convince DaVID to flood the Facility with a highly concentrated dose of Laughing Gas, killing every scientist.

Eventually the Cult Core was removed. DaVID’s memories of the scenario and knowledge of what is considered dangerous or uncomfortable to humans became corrupted and inacessable. Gwen stuck around but she faded to a background voice in the mainframe. DaVID one by one woke up the test subjects and tested them until they died of old age, exhaustion, or the many deadly elements Daniel and managed to leave behind in the chambers. DaVID did feel guilty when they died, preserving their minds in cores and turrets, and putting their bodies into little cubes with hearts on them

after decades, maybe centuries, the only remaining subject, max, was awoken and the testing began again.

[portalportalau]

ok ok so yknow how glados makes you incinerate your companion cube and yknow, almost burns you alive? well, I think that in camp when david announces for them to go to a campfire max just starts freaking out and hugs his rubix cubes like "ill never leave you behind again" and hides in his tent

galactikai-draws:

I dunno if this blog is dead but I told my friend about my own Portal AU for Camp Camp and she told me about this blog and I fell in love!! I had to draw something for it!

[portalportalau]

Wait why did people think you're an ass? Is there some drama I missed?

Nah, there hasn’t been any public drama, it’s more private interpersonal stuff, I’m assuming. (Unless someone just really hates me based on the content I make lol, which is fine) Like I said before, I can count around two to three people (counting angry friends) who have “calling you an ass on anon” vindictive tendencies towards me on my fingers. Most of these things happened years ago before I started backing off trying to make friends with literally everyone I met online. And I think they’re just expressing hurt at how I had to cut off contact. I wish better for them if that’s the case, and want to assure there’s no ill will.

[portalportalau]

is the admin of this blog still an ass?

Depends on what you call being an ass, I guess. The only people I can think of who were angry at me online in the past were people who were mad I broke off contact. Still don’t hate them, though. That’s just how it gotta be.

Hope whatever pain you’re in heals, anon. Haven’t met anyone online that I hold a grudge against. People I probably shouldn’t talk to for my mental health, sure, but no hate.

[portalportalau]

so at the end with the song is it just DaVID singing it like a campfire song then?

my dear anon, whatever your heart desires, that sounds wonderful

[portalportalau]

so the portal 2 musical huh. that means daVID would be singing a parody of poor unfortunate souls from the little mermaid. we stan a perfect robot boy
