[lastoneout]

when florence and the machine said "I find that happiness is an extremely uneventful subject" and when romeo x juliet said "a simple life with you would be paradise" and johnathan coulton said "it's okay, I like you in glasses" and everything everywhere all at once said "in another life I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you"

(edit: I made a longer thing with more examples here)

Can we take a second to recognize that Johnathan Coulton is the perfect person to write for GLaDOS. like, OF COURSE he would write for her. HALF OF HIS SONGS are sarcastic/ironic songs sung by weirdos (affectionate) who don’t know how to love people but are trying their best.

There is possibly a world where I make a neater and better version of this. But we’ll see.

[snandorthegreat]

btw if you were wondering what they were, they’re “Aurora Borealis” by Lemon Demon and “Chiron Beta Prime” by Johnathan Coulton

there should be more apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic christmas songs I think. like I can only think of two and that’s not enough

any playlist can be a Crowley angst playlist if it tries hard enough

5, 6, 12, 21 for J0hn? (you don't have to do all those dfsjlskdsdf)

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

First song that comes to mind is probably johnathan coulton's Artificial Heart, i still remember so fondly that bit of art bubbly made for it in relation to the j0hn playlist. Im not sure its the song that fully encapsulates him best but it is a favorite of mine

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

we're Fixers. Being able to Apply ourself hands on, practically, in the solution or prevention of problems helps us feel more comfortable and in control of stressful and anxiety inducing situations 👍

Also massive fucking nerds about media but thats a given

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

While Larry/FL Man was a 'maybe this is just a phase?' baby gay as seen in the nccts i think john was a 'i always sorta knew i was different™️ and- especially before i knew how to label how- that was alienating and scary to confront or acknowledge' baby gay. Seems thematically in line with his whole 'knows exactly who he is and who he wants to be' thing and the fact he percieves and feels prism's attempts at changing his words as 'anxiety'

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

I LOVED writing j0hn for Hour Hand, I love trying to express a character through writing how they think about their circumstances and he comes very naturally to me as a POV character because he seems to think through his circumstances pretty thoroughly, which lets me explore a lot of things easily that writing other characters faithfully makes hard. cough dantoinette and crimson you annoying little avoidant fuckheads cough

In terms of things i dont like thinking of appropriate J0hnisms (awkwardly phrased 'buddy i know what you mean but what do you mean' coolguy shit like 'i can hack this for breakfast' or 'she was a total lamo to my whole body') on purpose is hardddddd :( fumbling a phrase on purpose in a way that feels natural in writing is harddddddd :( which makes me sad because theyre one of his most charming features to me

🤝🤝🤝 to all of this tbh

Also, i bought portal 2: the final hours recently and happen to have this screencap on hand!

When you were never much a fan of The Addams Family so you never watched it and are just learning now that Gomez is always calling his wife Cara Mia and this is how he “flirts”

Sensing that this was used as an intentional ChellDOS nod by Valve

GLaDOS is Gomez

testing IS flirting,
