A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

This was a triumph

“Area and state regulations do not allow the Companion Cube to remain here, alone and companionless.” – GLaDOS

Love is getting your wife’s name tattooed next to a weighted companion cube.  Just don’t drop her in an incinerator.

    The Enrichment Center would like to remind you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you, and in fact, cannot speak.

    Due to mandatory scheduled maintenance, the nipple is currently unavailable. The Enrichment Center apologizes and wishes you the best of luck.

    Well it does look like a faint scar.
    Cmon people, nipple removals aren’t that uncommon.
    Ok they are pretty uncommon but it’s been featured on here before.

    The three portal addicts in my house (hubby and the boys) will greatly appreciate this.
    They will probably want cake afterwards as well…
