some more arguing while grian is confused
So @sammy8d257 made a new AU I fell in love with IMMEDIATELY. Hermitcraft x Portal?? Uh sign me UP.
Also I headcanon that instead of "the cake is a lie!!" it's an egg.
āWell here we are again, Itās always such a pleasureā
Hello Hermitcraft fandom, Itās AU time And its all because Iām getting into Portal 2 and Wheatleyās voice and mannerisms remind me of Mumbo
So here we have Hermit Science, with their Hermit Initiative ProgramĀ Where the goal is to measure the creative and technical skills humans possess through a series of test and puzzles.
This AU doesnāt follow 100% to the portal plot as X isnāt inherently out to harm the test subject in the name of science, unlike GLaDOS, rather X is good-hearted but can switch into a more violent mode due to a glitch in his programming which has been dubbedĀ āEvil Xā
Plus the Hermit Initiative itself is made up of a lot less dangerous tests. Most of the time
Yāall this is self-indulgent as heck but if people are interested in thisĀ Iād be happy to expand on it more
(This has taken me twelve thousand y e a r s because drawing robots are hard and I cursed myself by making a Hermitcraft Au with conplex robot designs)
Anyway
MORE Hermit Science info!!
On the robot side we have Joe as a personality core.
He's one of the oldest cores still functional in the facility and spends most of his time in the library and research sections of the facility
Next are the Test Robots: Cub and Scar, forming the Convex duo
They were created as a way to test the baseline abilities of the test subjects in both technical (Cub) and creative (Scar) puzzles. Being part of the few fully mobile robots in the facility, you can be these guys take full advantage of this to cause some mischief. As seen in the comic provided.
Fun fact: Scar has large cracks in the middle of his hull from a test gone wrong when EX got mad. If Cub hadn't been there to pull him out of the test chamber, Scsr would have been destoryed. X later apologized ALOT afterwards.
And finally we have TFC, the last known scientist to have somehow survived X's takeover.
No one really knows how he survived but the chances of seeing him are very slim. In fact, only other humans have ever caught a glimpse of him as he would never let a robot see him. The only way you can tell his around is by the wall paintings and signs scattered around the facility.
And thats about all for now!
I think next info update will be about some more human characters!
If you have any questions or suggestion, don't hesitate to drop in and tell me!
My inbox is always open
āCatCh ME!!! CatchMecatchmecatchme-āĀ
Mumbo takes a dive from his management rail
Listen, Iām still bitter that I canāt catch Wheatley,Ā Ā LET ME CATCH HIM VALVE, YOU COWARDS
Bonus:Ā He tried his best

i LOVE your hc/portal au!! any more info/expansions on it?
Strap in Yāall, this is gonna be a disjointed ramble cuz boy do I have IDEAS
First up, letās talk about X. Heās the GLaDOS equivalent in this AU. So heās the one that runs the facility and oversees all the tests. The difference between X and GLaDOS is the X doesnāt want to see the Test Subjects fail and generally cares about the wellbeing of everyone still alive in the facility, whether it be human or machine. EX, on the other hand, is more malicious. His goal is to destroy the facility and everyone in it. EX developed as a glitch in Xās processors that gradually became bad enough to start influencing X. X is aware of EX and for the most part, heās able to keep him under control but there are multiple times where EX has taken full control and wreck havoc on the facility.
So uh, with all the shitty stuff X has done lately, maybe change up Glados for the portal au, like in regards of the character it is y'know?
Oh trust me Anon, Im gonna
The entire Hermit Science AU is going to get revamped and although I dont have much right now, I'm going to be putting this AU on hiatus and Im not sure when it'll be back
And not only this AU but im probably going to be taking small breaks from Hermitcraft in general because this whole thing fuckin
sucks
I dont like discource on my blog
But this isnt like "differing opinions" discource, this is someone who I really liked watching being a fuckin shitty dirtbag
And although he wasnt my favorite hermit, he was still a close 3rd (mumbo being 1st and keralis 2nd) and this hurts my overall enjoyment of Hermitcraft
And if I can be a bit selfish, this also makes me less proud of my art because one of my most liked/reblogged fanart for Hermitcraft is a comic with both Mumbo and X in it, like I know Mumbo is the main focus but X still plays a big roll in it. And this goes for all my art with X in it
While im still proud of the art itself, it just, feels weird now
Im too mad right now so before I end this, Im gonna say this one thing about the situation
Im a big believer in people changing and improving
But my belief only extends to those that ACTIVELY WANT and TRY to change their behavior and beliefs. And goddamn it I want X to be better but right now? He's not and from the evidence gathered he doesnt seem like he wants to try and fix it
If he's willing to change and shows actual growth, then MAYBE I'll give him another shot
Until then, I dont fuck with that shit
(if anything else needs to be tagged let me know)
Hey; in the hermit science au, is EX like a core that's attached to X n then Mumbo?
Nope! Although I did play around with that idea for a little bit before deciding on my final idea. The main reason EX isnāt a core thatās attached to the chassis of the main AI is because it would be too easy to get rid of him, and I want him to be a continued threat to the facility. Plus him being a core didnāt flow as nicely as I wanted with the basic storyline in my head.
In the end, I decided that EX was a glitch in Xās processors that eventually grew enough to infect the entire central body of the chassis, rather than just X. This is why Mumbo also gets corrupted when he gets plugged into the chassis. Just like how in Portal 2, Wheatley is on your side up until he gets plugged in and turns evil due to corruption via testing euphoria
