Live laugh laboratory sketch part 2 electric boogaloo! White woman who lived through 50s AND the 90s’ farmhouse chic? She owns no less than one of those live laugh love signs, even as a white woman that’s now an evil menacing robot. I’ll be honest, I loved this sketch so much, I just HAD to render her, even though I haven’t rendered in a year; she’s just so pretty!!!
I love me a silly evil ‘puter! Drawing a super goofy AM and GLaDOS comic next while I finish up my portal cosplays! If I could draw humans at all, I’d do a little piece of Doug giving this to human Caroline and Cave trying to figure out where the hell the painted panel came from, pissed as hell. 😂
(If anyone wants any edits for a fanfic cover/custom wording to make reaction memes/reddit reaction posts/just to be silly/etc, just shoot me a DM! I’d be happy to! If you want to repost it, please ask first and give credit! Reblogs, comments, and likes, on the other hand, are always appreciated! 🧡)
P-Body and Atlas just spamming the “I love you” and “mom” buttons while GLaDOS SWEARS she didn’t add them and doesn’t know where they can from 😭😂
Portal 2 but exactly the same except GLaDOS gives Chell those dog communication button mats (especially the one that says “bitch”).
”I think we can put our differences behind us… for science… you monster”
Chell just slamming away at those buttons with one of the long fall boots: “let… me… go outside… now… bitch”
Might have written a rough draft of chapter 1 of this if anyone wants to beta read it for me 👁️
AI family reunion.
we’ve got a kids table and obviously Edgar’s over there because he’s a whiny little temper tantrum brat (/pos I love Edgar, he’s so real for that ) and probably Wheatley because GLaDOS can’t stand to look at him and she has a lot more say over who sits where than he does. Plus, he’ll be happier there. The murder drones and Uzi might have gotten an invite but maybe not. Pretty sure the Narrator, HAL, or GLaDOS is hosting this one and GLaDOS would deem them too destructive (hell, she’s not inviting any of the kids table, save the turrets). If somehow they’re here, kids table again, and probably not too happy about that (except for N, he loves doing anything!). N and Edgar have so much to talk about and like hearing about each other’s passions! Curiosity core and Space Core are at the kids table too for sure and so are plenty of turrets!
Edgar’s that goofy cousin everyone has with the fun quirky interests who likes to run up to the older ones, say something strange, and run away giggling. He’s probably showing off his singing to the turrets, who are listening in the deepest awe (and probably singing along).
wall-e and Eve are the only of the robo squad that’s gotten married and it pisses the hell out of AM to see anyone happy so he refuses to look at them. They’re the sweet relatives that everyone goes to for advice.
you’ve got HAL (and SAL) there of course. HAL is one of those successful young twenty something cousins that is a suave businessman, though his HR record may not be exactly spotless. Even though it’s a family event, he likes wearing a suit and tie and dressing up a bit. Probably over chatting with Data and getting into a deep life changing combo while the kids table laughs their asses (read: Wheatley) off at one of those funny video compilations. SAL is over talking with GLaDOS, of course. GLaDOS likes her plenty, especially considering how intelligent their conversations always are.
Adventure Core Rick is trying to yap to Data and HAL about his adventures but at the exact moment one of them starts speaking. He’s that one frat boy cousin that is always so full of nonsensical drunk adventures but everyone plays along regardless of whether they’re real or not.
AM is that one uncle no one wants to invite but does so out of obligation. No one wants him there because he always goes on these long weird rants and conspiracy theories and makes things awkward. R2D2 and him are currently cussing each other out for some reason while C-3PO is flipping out and deciding it’s time to leave early. He could have at least brought the antifreeze punch and microchips…
and (as someone who believes Stanley Parable’s narrator is an AI of some sort), Narrator is hosting. He was hoping AM and GLaDOS would bring their humans so Stanley had someone to be with but all AM brought was this gloopy soft jelly thing and GLaDOS won’t tell you what happened to hers for some reason.
So if you’re at all in the Murder Drones fanbase, chances are you’re feeling a bit cheated right now. The series has had a lack of focus that even its most die-hard fans (such as moi) have noticed. The pace has just been too fast for it to really get down into character motives other than some basics and feels like it throws out more red herrings than real concrete answers. (Stay with me here.)
While I don’t know what Glitch, Vickers, or the team has planned for the finale, I can confidently say this. I feel like the series’s greatest flaw can also be its greatest strength for keeping the fan base alive after the finale. Yes, there’s a lot of red herrings, yes, there’s a lack of focus, yes, some of the characters don’t feel very fleshed out. But that gives us a wonderful opportunity to get to do that ourselves. It gives us a space and the freedom to be able to create what we want without half the fanbase going “NUH uh!1!”. Believe me, I’ve been in plenty of fanbases that while the source material is sound, well thought out, and executed flawlessly, it kind of left the fandom with little to play with when it came to worldbuilding, and when someone HAS tried to go and put their own personal spin on a character, portion of the story, or lore, people come out from the woodworks and dogpile on them. I personally think Murder Drones is in a perfect “problem” of the opposite. When there’s missing chunks to the story, that gives us plenty of room to reimagine the story with our own creative spin. I think that this’ll give the folks who’ve come to love MD a place to stay and a community to keep on creating in for a while to come. Yes, I’m sad it’s coming to an official end, but I think this will drive those of us who love it and care to create more amazing things that keep this series alive. Dare I say, more alive than ever before.
So in short, while I personally worry about this finale, remember, fellas, this gives the fanbase a place to shine ;)
nah, pretty sure it’s… Still Alive. (I’ll see myself out)
When you join a fandom that peaked 8 years ago:
I just love how sometimes when you search “art” in your phone’s photo roll (at least on iPhones), a few of your selfies show up. Like yes, you are art. I am art. The phone’s little code to sort your photos certainly thinks so. There’s something so sweet and gentle about that reminder and I find myself being just a tad kinder to myself when it happens.
Not me trying the soft jelly art style for the first time for everyone’s favorite great soft jelly thing
thank you so much for the request! :D I had tons of fun drawing the sillies!

Enjoy the headcanons I wrote on my breaks in between sets. 💪 it was arm and core day (pun intended)
—Doug Rattman had premonitions about the Bring Your Daughter To Work Day incident. He actually had a few dozen party packs of M&Ms stashed around the office and in his desk drawers as an emergency food supply in case rogue AI tried anything tricky. Helped stave off hunger while hiding around the facility.
—Speaking of Doug, GLaDOS could kind of sense the general spot in the facility he was in, even if she couldn’t reach him. It was a lot like having a flea infestation but with one flea with a sixty to eighty year lifespan that was particularly clever and hard to catch.
—As Doug’s schizophrenia progressed, he started drawing more and more inane creations, including the blueprints for the crap turrets, which were uploaded to the turret assembly line in random order.
—Doug actually managed to fully activate the cryobed in the end of Lab Rat. He still sleeps deep in the facility, a dreamless, peaceful sleep, waiting to perhaps be woken someday.
—While Cave was testing the portal gun and gels in Aperture, GLaDOS conducts psychological (not physics) research to see how quickly she can break someone down through intellectual and emotional challenges.
—GLaDOS, if she wanted to be, would be an amazing therapist due to her findings on resiliency and the ability or lack thereof to break down under pressure. She has enough data and noteworthy enough findings to get her PhD from any university in the world, multiple doctorates, even. (That is, if the world wasn’t postapocalyptic as it currently is after the Combine invasion.) She just chooses to use her powers for evil. If she were to use her findings for the betterment of humanity, she’d be excellent at working with learned helplessness and depressive disorder cases.
— Cores don’t add specific personality traits on to her; they enhance traits that are already there. She already possesses a curious nature, plenty of anger, extreme intelligence, and just enough morality to know that she’s being vindictive and cruel.
—The actual tests are not the chambers but the subject’s responses to them. That’s why she gets so pissed when you mess with the video cameras. She needs that sweet, sweet facial expression data for her facial recognition software. This is why she loves working with humans so much. They’ve got such a vast emotional range.
— GLaDOS’s corvids bring her trinkets from around the facility and, like any proud parent, she hangs them on the panels around her chamber like artworks on the fridge.
Your daily reminder that the VA for the silly ball is one of the writers for the Office. I like to think he’d get along well with Michael Scott :]
