Doug Rattmann 🤝Adrian Shephard

Never being seen again but having a decently large cult following of people hoping for in some way shape or form this poor little meow meow’s return from continuity limbo and Schrödinger’s box. (Please please please return one day in some way shape or form please please please 🙏)

Just read Portal 2: Lab Rat for the first time and oh my god

Sucks too because Doug is one of the few schizophrenic characters in fiction that doesn’t go with the whole “Unhinged lunatic” trope. He’s actually really damn intelligent and lucid despite his condition.

Posting this here too actually I am Doug rattmans #1 defender. not because he does anything wrong in canon but because people see he's schizophrenic and start tossing every ableist trope ever at him

Based on that trend from tiktok on which I also posted the drawing on (high quality-ish ver and original image under cut)

Chell is like a shrodengers ( I forgot how it’s spelt) cat in a way

You put ‘em in a box you leave it alone so the they’re dead and alive but only until the box is opened is it decided

Schrödingers Cat - Both alive and dead, until someone opens the box.

(Based on page 26 from the comic "Lab Rat", added below the read more)

Its important to note that while GLaDOS is completely capable of outright killing people, she seems to very often resort to excusing it as some kind of experiment, lying either to her victims or perhaps even herself. You have to REALLY set her off for her to drop all pretense and get completely murderous with you. Viewing it from that perspective, its really interesting that she used the "Schrodinger's Cat" thought experiment as an excuse to gain access to some neurotoxin, because.. When you think about it, she didn't even lie in this case. The scientists never considered that while traditionally the experiment involves a literal box with a cat inside of it, Aperture can easily serve as a "box" with plenty of employees that can easily serve as the "cats". From an outsider's perspective, she has actually perfectly recreated the exact conditions of the thought experiment - with no employees ever leaving, and the company going completely radio silent, an outside observer perceives Aperture's staff as simultaneously alive and dead. And the raging Resonance Cascade on the surface means that, at least for a good while, there won't be a single soul that could open up the "box" and break the illusion.

Rattmann doodle. I have a weird taste in comfort characters. That is a 30 year old man with schizophrenia. But he’s fluffy and I love himb.

Is Adrian Shephard a squimbus? I don’t know, I don’t keep up with many polls, but he seems like the squimbus type. Doug Rattmann is really popular, in one group of Portal fans, but who’s heard of or cares about Adrian Shephard? He’s hardly even canon! Regardless he’s mine and I love him. He might win a couple poles actually I should look it up.
