It feels like I’ve talked about this before, but to me the funniest version of Portal is if Chell is deaf.

Like, most of the major story beats, at least the ones that directly affect her, have a prominent visual component so she’s following along with the basics. But she has no idea who cave johnson is, or what wheatley was trying to explain to her, and she certainly wasn’t hurt by any of glados’ insults.

but the best part of this headcanon is imagining glados checking chell’s personnel file years down the line, noticing the word “deaf” for the first time, and just going “WHAT???”

Glados learning sign language so Chell can hear at least one of her excellent monologues and Chell just closes her eyes

I find that last thing extra funny because glados learning sign language despite her not having hands and also being able to display words on the various screens throughout aperture science is the most aperture science thing to do
