Friend *while drawing Caroline*: You know the fact that Caroline doesn't wear earrings in the time period she's in kind of implies that she performs femininity but doesn't actually align with it

Me: *time stands still*

Me: Thank you for understanding me

Gonna take a longer break from Tumblr (and Ao3) while I take care of IRL stuff. Hopefully I'll be back to normal by fall or winter. Until then, I'm gonna lock in like I'm CEO Caroline.

I hope ya'll keep having fun creating and sharing all the amazing things!

(Also, if Tumblr gets wiped while I'm on my break, I unfortunately will not be migrating to another social media platform, with no exceptions. I gave it some thought, and for me, it's Tumblr or bust.)

It's sort of curious how Caroline's (probably quite brief) tenure as Aperture's CEO is never explored or really brought up save for Cave's dying wish for her to take on his mantle. Its likely that Aperture took on the form we see in Portal 1 specifically under her jurisdiction. While she was in charge the building took on this rusted jagged shape, burning with hellish red light. The building at what is probably its most inhospitable state until GLaDOS has a go at rearranging its innards.

The fact that her management of Aperture is so understated makes me think that, unlike her predecessor, Caroline operated quietly and in the background. Didn't bother with the same theatrics that Cave did. Aperture seems to operate in a manner a little more insidious than usual after he's gone. Test subject acquisitions are all hush-hush. Chell's generation of test subjects probably don't even know any of the employees that well, let alone whoever runs the place. No more "Welcome to Aperture! I'm Cave Johnson - I own the place." - you simply wake up in a concrete box with warped faces observing you behind the glass. Clearly, she seems to have figured out a way to keep the company afloat, but the place is still a slowly decaying carcass of its former self. She's just managed to slow, stall the rot that started staining the place ever since the astronauts went missing. Funny it took a piece of her to build the machine that would force this decay into retreat. The place was a slowly settling corpse until life was forced straight into its wires, giving it self-devouring immortality.

confession: I used to heavily ship Glados from Portal and the Director from the Fab Killjoys music videos to where I wrote short fanfiction about them

Keep your HEV suit tight, your crowbar close, and die with your ponytail up if you have to. Happy Resonance Cascade Day!

......Also remember, no matter how bad Cave Johnson is, at least he wouldn't have let the Resonance Cascade happen.
