So, I just had this thought in the shower, the setting of Portal is the Computer Aided Enrichment Center - the CAEC. Try saying that out loud.
I imagine some of the tech guys probably used that instead of saying Computer Aided Enrichment Center over and over again while chatting; imagine GLaDOS in the background, trying to figure out exactly why they keep saying ‘cake’ and wondering what the hell this ‘cake’ even is.
To the point that she dedicated her information core to define exactly what one is and it’s composition (though after years of activity it apparently got corrupted and starts including less safe ingredients). Hence GLaDOS’s almost pathological obsession with the thing after she’s killed everyone off and starts testing the people she has in storage.
It would also give a deeper meaning to ‘the cake is a lie’ that Rattman left all over the facility. As far as he knows, GLaDOS is just making a threat in the form of a pun.
“You will be baked *garbled* and then there will be CAEC.” Because after the baking, there’ll be nothing left but the CAEC.
And even that has further meaning when you consider that after the first few test rooms, the computer isn’t aiding you anymore, and there’s hardly any enriching going on when everything is trying to kill you. The very concept of the place is a lie.
here’s my new and improved amethyst. tbh i don’t even cosplay her i just am her lmao
why do white people cosplay characters of color
because the creators of poc characters usually don’t care as much as you do about that
because they know white fans cosplaying characters of color means they can make an identifiable character regardless of culture/race, making the already weak “it won’t sell well/won’t appeal well” argument against poc characters absolutely worthless
because they know white fans liking a character doesn’t actually make it unsafe/take away the character from other characters
because this has nothing to do with racism
or maybe. just maybe. because they like the character and don’t need your approval to like them.
thanks white tumblr user gymleaderkarkat
I’m Hispanic, you racist piece of trash.
its really nice when POC stand up for this racist bullshit unu
Another night of unrest in Ferguson. The community seems to be stepping in and stepping up to prevent looting, but SWAT/riot police are back in action. #staywoke
Sock is a sweet but somewhat unstable teen who commits suicide after the accidental murder of his own parents. In Hell he meets Mephistopheles, the amicable manager of the underworld, who offers him a job: Sock is to become a demon, tasked with haunting humans and driving them to suicide. At first this seems like Sock’s dream job—a way he can finally act on his desires without consequence—but after meeting his first target, a disinterested highschooler named Jonathan, he finds himself with another desire that just might be stronger… and just might have a consequence.
Prompt 34: au where jon dies of a terminal illness before sock can get him to kill himself and he both gets fired and has to spend the rest of his miserable existence in hell alone with the memories of jon’s final days echoing endlessly in his mind and thats his punishment for being fired. he always has to remember it when his attention is not focused on just one specific thing. that’s the only thing he’d be able to think about anyway, right?

This is the incident report that the Ferguson police just produce. Now if you don’t know, this morning they FINALLY named the killer of Michael Brown as Darren Wilson. Along with naming Darren as the killer, the Ferguson police are now trying to link Michael Brown with a robbery that happened supposedly MOMENTS before.
Michael was killed at 12:01 and this robbery was at 11:54.
There are so many questions.
We’ve seen the surveillance photos they’ve produced that shows someone who looks like Michael being aggressive with a store owner over an apparent box of swishers. (If you don’t know, Swishers are cigar papers you can pick up for like…2 for .50.
They are saying that Officer Darren Wilson was responding to that robbery.
They are calling it an STRONG ARMED ROBBERY
A strong armed robbery is using, involving, or threatening the use of physical force or violence to gain an objective:
Okay, got that bullshit out of the way
The dispatch tapes that were released mention NOTHING ABOUT A ROBBERY.
NOT ONE WORD
THE ONLY THING MENTIONED WAS A SHOOTING AND REQUEST FOR CROWD CONTROL.
THAT’S IT
So how did Officer Wilson FIND OUT about the robbery?
They’ve now listed Dorian Johnson (THE ONLY OTHER EYEWITNESS WHO WAS THERE) as the second accomplice to the robbery.
The same Dorian Johnson who has been trying (in vain) to talk with the Ferguson Police Department about Michael’s Death since LAST SATURDAY.
So this man who is this SECOND SUSPECT IN A ROBBERY CASE IS PLEADING WITH YOU AND IS ALL OVER NATIONAL NEWS AND YOU ARE REFUSING TO SEE HIM. BUT HE’S A SUSPECT IN A ROBBERY. OKAY
When Officer Wilson sees both Michael and Dorian his initial reaction was “GET THE FUCK ON THE SIDEWALK.”
Not any kind of reaction dealing with them being robbery suspects.
From some of the pictures (I’m not going to post them due to the family’s wishes) if you compare the footage from the store and the footage from Michael’s death, he’s swapped from Nike sandals to Sneakers. This red hat cannot be found (this is speculation).
If the reason Office Wilson approached them was because they were suspects in an robbery WHY DIDN’T HE CALL IT IN? WHY DIDN’T HE FOLLOW PROCEDURE? WHY WOULD HE ROLL UP ON ROBBERY SUSPECTS IN HIS VEHICLE? WHY DID IT TAKE 6 DAYS FOR THIS TO BE ANNOUNCED?
I implore you. IMPLORE YOU to take a look into the presented facts of the case. This is just an incident report, we do not have access to the investigative report. There has been no reports presented of Michael’s autopsy and this report is contradictory of the second eye witnesses report.
None of this makes sense.
They are putting Michael on trial to dehumanize him, villify him, to make him less human to justify his murder.
And at the end of the day, LET’S JUST SAY MICHAEL DID DO THIS…is petty theft (it was like 5 swisher sweets they say. That’s a two dollars and fifty sense) IS HIS MURDER, HIS EXECUTION, THIS UNARMED SURRENDING TEENAGE BOY, justified by this?
NO.
It’s not.
This is murder. Don’t let them put Michael on trial for HIS DEATH.
