Sleepover Shenanigans

Thing, in pajamas ontop of a closet: Heh, so why are the girls sleeping in the other room?

Bane: I don’t know, someone might have sex or whatever.

Thing: Okay??? Well, I’m gay, should I be out there with them?

Vinnie: I’m bi, I can’t sleep anywhere.

Portal LGBTQ+ headcanons! My OCs and interpretations of the canon characters have changed a lot since when I first made them, including my views on their sexualities and genders.  Chell - I headcanon her as demi and bi, but focused on the demi part here. She needs a strong friendship and trust to be built before any romantic feelings (especially after the events of the games). As much as I love Chelley, I acknowledge that it would probably take years before a bond could be made. Great for angst tho lol. Wheatley - This boy is pan and you can't convince me otherwise. He looks for love in all places and unfortunately finds very little.  Michael - First OC. He is a closeted bisexual. He loved his wife as much as life itself, but after her death, Wheatley was a willing rebound. Even though this makes Chelley a little...weird as he is my hc for Chell's dad, I love the idea of the two supporting each other during times of grief and self-loathing. GLaDOS - My aro icon. As annoying it is to have only robots or aliens for aro/ace representation and still have canon aro/ace characters shipped or sexualized I still love the idea of aromantic GLaDOS. I feel that she still felt some love towards others, specifically Chell, just platonic love. Caroline - I know that a lot of people ship her with Cave Johnson and there were many signs of the two having a close relationship. However, I never got the impression that it was a romantic one. Plus, Cave was a bit of an ass and she deserves better. I just really like the idea of her being a closeted lesbian, only out to Cave who pretended to be in some sort of relationship with her to ward off unwelcome advances from the male scientists. Plus the whole "married to science" thing. Liliana - A recently made OC who is the human basis for the core I headcanon as being the first to be in charge of the facility. Long story. She was one of the many homeless to be snatched up by Aperture during the rougher years. Although Cave was going to pass on her (sexist bastard lol), she caught Caroline's eye and became a sort of temp/intern, working for food and a place to stay. Also a total lesbian smitten by the beauty that is Caroline. Rick/Adventure Core - Female, male, nonbinary, human, core, any mix of those, doesn’t really matter to him. So definitely pansexual. Rattman - So, from the first game in one of his "dens", he has pictures of both men and women with the companion cube pasted over their faces. And he has a high key love for the companion cube. Yeah he is bi as hell Companion Cube - I had Rattman so I wanted to include the cube as well. As mentioned previously, he sees the cube as being both male and female, so...genderfluid companion cube? At least in Rattman's eyes. Atlas/P-body - I know the game avoids mentioning their genders so that the players can project themselves onto them, but I like to see them as non-binary, specifically agender. Turrets/Oracle Turret - Very similar to Atlas and Peabody in that they just don't see themselves as either male or female like GLaDOS or Wheatley. So they're non-binary as well. Virgil/Rainbow Core - These two are so gay for each other, it's amazing. Enough said. Alexander/Alexa - This is a pretty recent interpretation of my old OC who was meant to be a morally grey antagonist alongside GLaDOS for the pre-games story. I know that it's problematic to make a villain LGBT+, but I really don't see them as much as a villain anymore. They had a pretty rough life and just found acceptance in the wrong places. But still killed people. Anyway, I see her as a very closeted trans woman. Alexa struggled with her identity and place in life, and questioning her gender was a part of it. Plus, I like to think that she only came out to GLaDOS, who was like "The human concept of gender is an enigma to me, so I don't mind calling you she/her. Whatever convinces you to let me access the neurotoxin" and she was too desperate for validation to see that GLaDOS was just being manipulative. Anyway, those were my headcanons that I drew on a whim two years ago.
