i love chellDOS and rattDOS bc these two human beings should know more than ANYONE else to not fall in love with the titanic poison-breathing dragon of a machine overlord with rampant emotional issues and a built-in, inescapable desire to churn fresh meat into test results all within an elaborate dungeon maze of her design...

And yet......

[99thpercentile]

you know what else is good. RattDOS. I’ve seen like maybe one (1) fic but it’s a fun dynamic! remember when he told her to bite him

[forestfolke]

how do you feel about doug rattman/glados?(rattdos)

not really a fan, i'm not sure why it gives me the ick when chelldos doesn't. i can still laugh at hypotheticals though i do enjoy their canon dynamic, i love their lines in lab ratt and i've read a couple good fics where they're on hazardously amiable terms... ^_^

I believed GLaDOS is a lesbian at first, but damn RattDOS is pure torture to ship

I love it

[schizolabratt]

I’m bored, so here- have all this RattDOS stuff that was drawn by InvertedMind.Inc on Deviantart in like 2011-12 that I have saved in my camera roll.

Seems like this tag hasn’t gotten a post in a long-ass time so I doubt anybody will actually see this, but whatevs.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Portal (Video Game) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: Major Character Death Relationships: GLaDOS/Doug Rattmann Characters: GLaDOS, Chell (Portal), Doug Rattmann Summary:

Doug Rattmann still lives in the walls of Aperture Laboratories, but now that the danger is gone, he begins to venture into the facility itself. As Doug finds himself getting to know the real GLaDOS, he ends up getting closer to her than he ever dreamed he would. And through Doug's kindness, GLaDOS learns a lesson the hard way that ultimately sets her free. DougXGLaDOS.

This one’s old but it’s one of my favourites

Hey Portal fandom I have a new ship for you

Chell X Wheatley X GLaDOS X Rattman. The newest OT4 Aperture has to offer. Can we make this a thing please?

[therattsden]

//*rubs greedy shipping hands together* I’ll ship anyone with anyone and no one can stop me

[xenrelay]

don't know if you've done these already, but my boys rattmann and kleiner for that headcanon ask?

thank you!! i don’t talk about either of them enough

rattmann

Sexuality Headcanon: hmm.. gay

Gender Headcanon: doesn’t mind people seeing him as a man but doesn’t feel any attachment to gender

A ship I have with said character: uuuhh i don’t really think i have any ships w/ doug. chellmann i don’t ship romantically myself but it’s sweet. i support y’all

A BROTP I have with said character: chellmann again hi

A NOTP I have with said character: i don’t really know what all the portal ships are tbh. rattdos ig

A random headcanon: he escapes aperture with chell and they live happily ever after

General opinion over said character: i love him and i am so sad. thinking abt this is showing that i need to finish my portal 2 replay so i have more Thoughts on everything bc i can’t actually remember the last time i played through it completely

i also have a panel of him from lab ratt in my desktop wallpaper rotation

kleiner

Sexuality Headcanon: gay ace!

Gender Headcanon: prrrobably just a cis man

A ship I have with said character: elisaac real

A BROTP I have with said character: maybe just elisaac again. not really a brotp, but i also enjoy his bickering with magnusson

A NOTP I have with said character: haven’t really seen many ships w him in general? so like none i guess.

A random headcanon: likes to let lamarr out of her cage sometimes to keep him company while he works--she always knocks over half the stuff on his desk and makes everything 10x harder but he can’t stay mad at her

General opinion over said character: i was fairly neutral at first but @is-or-will-be​’s appreciation of him rubbed off on me eventually. i care him

[actingwithportals]

gwados:3

Sexuality Headcanon: L E S B I A N (could see as bi too, but a definite preference for women or nb/gnc folks)

Gender Headcanon: God (but in all seriousness, woman)

A ship I have with said character: I’ve never really shipped GLaDOS with anyone before, but I think if any ships with her interested me it would be ChellDOS. Though I’ll admit I have seen some RattDOS stuff that was pretty interesting!

A BROTP I have with said character: I don’t remember which artist this was, but someone used to do art of her with the Announcer, and though I think it was ship art, the idea of them being bros is just really fun to me? Him aside, I also enjoy weird brotp scenarios with her and Rattmann, and extending out of canon her and Virgil!

A NOTP I have with said character: Maybe Cave? Or Wheatley? Admittedly though, these days there aren’t a lot of Portal ships that are just straight up notp for me, at least not to the extent that most people hold notps. Like there’s definitely pairings I’m not into for various reasons, but none really strongly enough for me to just Dislike them.

A random headcanon: GLaDOS would 100% be into memes, but if anyone found out she would kill them

General Opinion over said character: I Love Her. She’s a horrible person, and I think that’s great!

[ask-chell-the-core]

(to the autor)what is yout honest opinion about ships?of all the romace and everything i personally curious about your interpretation

((I don’t mind the ships at all. There are some I like more than others but I won’t trash any ships. It’s fun for whoever likes a pairing and as long as you aren’t being rude to someone else, then have fun. Chelldos, chelley, chellmann, wheatdos, rattdos? Just have fun and don’t be rude about it.))((For story telling purposes though, there probably won’t be any ships in the comic. I don’t want to place emphasis on any one pairing because I want everyone to have fun and find something they enjoy))

doug rattmann in my fic:

Sometimes Doug wondered why he even bothered coming back down here. Better to die up on the surface, penniless and without healthcare, than to continue to linger like a specter around this miserable machine. 

God, I hate the GLaDOS Project, he thought.

also doug rattmann, not three seconds later, in the same fic:

Worming through her twisting knots of cable was a religious experience, one could say. A person simply had to enter her guts to see why the GLaDOS Project changed its scientists; why so many had staked their careers on the bone-white cleats from which her components hung.

What are your thoughts on Chelley? (You were wonderful in the Portal musical btw :D)

Thank you kindly! I think that "Chelley" is a ship that has caused a great many feelings among the Portal fandom: there are those who think it's sweet and adorable, those who think that it's an unhealthy relationship, and those who simply prefer other ships like "ChellDOS" and "RattDOS" and "Rickline." Truth be told, I am not a part of shipping culture and I have no feelings about Chelley. People can and will imagine their favourite characters in romantic pairings, and they can do that if they want. And I did have great fun in singing "Suddenly Wheatley" (both versions) in the show! But I also do not own the character of Wheatley and I'm not romantically attached to any of the actresses who played Chell. So what I think I'm getting at is: ship Chelley if it makes you happy! I prefer to live ship-free.

What is your opinion on certain ships and headcanons? I kinda headcanon GLaDOS as bi because I ship Rattdos and sometimes Chelldos(but I also really ship Chelley, which people have started to hate). However I'm afraid to admit this because many people strongly headcanon GLaDOS as gay and I'm worried people will get mad at me for shipping Rattdos, which I've shipped before I even went on Tumblr and discovered the discourse. This is coming from a bi person who just wants to ship in peace.

We’re pretty ambivalent about ships and headcanons, as long as we feel no one is being spiteful or bitter about them. It’s fine to headcanon GLaDOS as gay, or bi, or anything in between, as long as you’re not out there to invalidate other people’s experiences! This can go both ways. However, simply shipping something peacefully isn’t invalidating. However, we agree that the shipping environment has been a little vocally hostile, and that’s why we reblog as wide a breadth of content as we can find! We want everyone to feel welcome here, no matter your headcanon or favorite characters/ships.

Personally, as a mod here I’m also fairly ambivalent towards lots of Portal ships (I have one that I’m absolutely passionate about, but it doesn’t mean i dislike/hate any others that conflict with it by default). My personal opinion on it is that as long as you aren’t being rude to others directly/publicly in the tag and tag actual triggering content (stuff that actually gets into the territory of noncon/abuse/nsfw/and more questionable matters), you’re allowed to ship what you want! This includes RattDOS, Chelley and ChellDOS, and literally any other Portal ship. We support all ships here, no judgment whatsoever.

On an even more personal note: It’s difficult to put content out there with fear of being/feeling judged, but as long as you tag your work appropriately, you shouldn’t be afraid to post or talk about your favorite ships and headcanons. I understand the feeling, and that’s a lot of why this blog was born in the first place! Fandom should be a fun retreat from reality, not more drama. We’re hoping to preserve a slice of that here.

Portal! (Or if Portal's already taken, fandom of your choice :0 )

Nah, Portal is still 100% free :D

How I entered/learned about the said game/show/movie/etc of that fandomPortal just seemed like a cool game and everybody said it was such a ��classic”. So I watched an LP. And an LP of Portal 2. And another one. And I browsed tumblr. and now I’m here without ever gettng out.

Fave characterAhhh difficult. My first fave was Wheatley. Then Virgil and Rainbow. Now it’s Nigel. Why am I like this.

Least fave characterIs there anyone you couldn’t like? I even like the garbage son. It’s more like ther’s characters I don’t really think much about. Idk some of the cores maybe, like Fact or Cake or someone?

OTP(s)Chelley, Melgil, Raingil (yes I ship both), I’mnotgonnanamemyshittyAU-OCshere

Pairing that everyone likes but I don’t get Uhhhh ChellDOS I suppose? I don’t have a problem with it but I don’t care for it much. Same for RattDOS.

Fave thing about the fandomEverybody is so nice.

The most despised thing????????

If there is something I would change from said game/show/movie/etc., what would it be.Give us all the deleted lines for fuck’s sake. 

Thanks a lot :)

I don’t actually ship RattDOS but I was intrigued for a while and my RattDOS fic was definitely one of my best
