Portal: The 4th Millennium Franchise/WMG

The Business Magnet is a Time Lord...
...and The Time-Lapse is his TARDIS.
 * From where do you know how his time machine is called?
 * The Time-Lapse doesn't resemble the TARDIS from far away. It doesn't have the Bigger on the Inside thing, and it works more H. G. Wells style, but with space travel included.
 * ...It is still a time machine.
 * Why a page called Time and Relative Dimensions in Space is linked? You clearly are a Doctor Who fan.
 * No, I'm not.
 * Alternatively, Aperture Science à la Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise is the predecessor to the Time Lords' species, and they all are using the model of the Business Magnet and the technologies of both The Time-Lapse and any Aperture product with portals inside for their own shenanigans.

Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise was actually made up by GLaDOS.
After the events of Portal 2 and Peer Review, GLaDOS was still not quite satisfied with the society she founded, and instead she made up an ideal society with herself as the ruler of the world and married to a perfect substitute for Cave Johnson. That also explains how Chell, the dangerous mute lunatic, is Exclusively Evil and Wheatley, the dumbest moron who ever lived, gets little to no appearances at all.

"Okay."

"The Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise is pure GLaDOS sarcasm."

"NEXT."


 * Or probably we're just dealing with a Portal fan with a heart made for GLaDOS.
 * Yeah? The Business Magnet himself claimed that the Collaborative Disposition Test assigned him to Wheatley, and thears no way GLaDOS/Wheatley is happening.
 * B: Well I do write it, what now? A: then you are a prep poser
 * GLaDOS deliberately wanted to make the Business Magnet into a Marty Stu so that he would look like a self-insert while she would go on unnoticed.
 * Why there is a problem in GLaDOS making herself into a self-insert? She is already a canon Portal series character.
 * There is no problem in GLaDOS making herself into a self-insert, there is a problem in GLaDOS making herself into a Mary Sue.

There is no "Ms. Johnson-Rattmann "interdimensionalPortaller""...
How in the beginning of Portal 2: The Stupidest Sequel of All Time she seems friendly and you could sympathize with her, yet in the later works this is not the case? "She" obviously is just a manifestation of the Business Magnet's good/evil/whatever side, the one who wants Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise destroyed and took the position of Chell from the real Business Magnet's fics to consciously talk to him. The conflict between them is the driving force of the franchise, which without it is just a boring alternate history.
 * You're technically correct, as Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise is a compendium of fictional works and all the characters are fictional, and hence, play out in the Business Magnet's mind.
 * sbrown? irenicPie? Marrissa? Skepkitty?
 * They're like fictional counterparts of the real characters, since the Business Magnet can't write characters in character very well and distorts their personality traits.
 * Okay how about here and here and here and here?

The "Aperture Science Business Electromagnet" and "GLaDOS for Workgroups" are past ATLAS and P-body.
Empress Contine Overseer, after seeing the Electromagnet and GLaDOS for Workgroups as a fatal threat if they started acting on their own free will's accord, took her time to restrain them, degrade them to barely functional androids (which means personality cores attached to robotic arms and legs), destroying their speech modules in the process, then dematerialize them and make them into building schemes and then send them to past GLaDOS from Land of Portal: Prelude. That also means GLaDOS is testing her future android self.
 * Didn't GLaDOS still call them "killing machines" in Peer Review? That would defeat the purpose of the whole plan.
 * For her own personal purposes.
 * Also, didn't she also mention ATLAS and P-body were based on scientific calculators?
 * She mistook Empress Contine for a scientific calculator becau5e 0f her unu5ual le3t5pe4k.
 * And how the hell the Electromagnet and GLaDOS for Workgroups are a fatal threat??
 * The Electromagnet and GLaDOS for Workgroups actually use psychological methods of defeating their enemies in conjunction with brute force, and they just turn out to be people Empress Contine knew personally and was quite attached to them.
 * Shouldn't that make them not want to harm her as well?
 * Reprogramming themselves?

Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise is a modern retelling of the New Testament.
The Business Magnet is Jesus Christ. The other twelve main characters are the apostles. Chell is Judas Iscariot. Judas got the Jerusalem court people to kill Jesus (and then he was resurrected on the third day), Chell is getting ever closer to defeating the Business Magnet.
 * Just like the New Testament, Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise is composed of only-interconnected-by-plot works: the Gospel (Portal 2: The Stupidest Sequel of All Time), Works of the Apostles (Project: Midnight, The Inevitable Sunset) and even an apocalyptic story (either Session #257 or Lena Bestselerovna: The Real Fail).
 * The real life author has admitted that he is an "avid" Christian and lets the Christian ideologies flow onto Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise, which could possibly even mean that the author is actually aiming for the next Middle Ages in the rise of, well, the 4th millennium.
 * How the hell is the Middle Ages topic related?
 * Christianity was basically the god of the Middle Ages.
 * Just because The Eleven is a Last Supper Steal we don't need to make this into a WMG.

Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise, through Weird Time Shit and Lost in Translation, became MS Paint Adventures.
The author's descendant in 2422 made the complete franchise into a conlang which is the Frog Temple hieroglyphs and sent it to the location of Jade's Island ca. 413,000,000 BC. Andrew Hussie then found them in the 2000s, hired an expert linguist to decode hieroglyphs and made them into MSPA.
 * In this list, -> means "became".
 * Empress Contine -> The Condesce/Betty Crocker
 * Mainly because the Crocker "spoon" switching to the "fork" mirrors the BP Development "Center" turning into "€mpire".
 * Contine's mishap with a weapon store -> Jane Crocker's mishap with a mailbox
 * Sweet Chell and Hella Marrissa -> Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff
 * Though, the character Marrissa Roberts -> Marquise Mindfang.
 * The Eleven -> ten of the twelve trolls and undyingUmbrage, with Equius, Gamzee and uranianUmbra being derived from somewhere else entirely
 * "Portal 2" and "Portal 2: Episode One" parts of Portal 2: The Stupidest Sequel of All Time -> Discs One and Two of Homestuck
 * Portal 2: Episode One speculated storyline even has a chapter titled "Act 2 - Raise of the Conductor's Baton".
 * Which is really a direct link to the equivalent act in Homestuck.
 * GL@DDA Magnet also seems a suitable model for the Handmaid.
 * Portal 2: The Stupidest Webcomic of All Time -> [S Jane: Enter]
 * There is still one major flaw in the idea: Decoding languages is not as easy as it seems. You would need reference to the historical, or, in this case, contemporary world, and Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise is only very loosely based on the popular culture, even inventing a "popular culture" of its own.
 * And? It still has tropes, and it's not like bringing some rocks to the geological history will make TV Tropes disappear.
 * You can't discern tropes from a language you don't understand!
 * False. You could find an example of Department of Redundancy Department by just checking for words that repeat persistently and aren't the articles or pronouns (i.e. short enough to be such).
 * No, there's another reason why sometimes the Business Magnet says something Andrew incorporates into his story later: Andrew is secretly spying on this author.
 * Yeah yeah, just as Valve.

Lydia "MinecraftChick" Winters forced the author into making up GL@DDA Magnet.
Before her involvement with Mojang she was researching psychic abilities and mind control, and made ASBusinessMagnet to become her eternal lover and make up the time traveling phantom of her timeline that we know now. Lydia was in such a cat and mouse game for two years, until the author met several others who played Minecraft, and she decided "fuck it I'm becoming a Minecraft fangirl" to the point of joining Mojang and becoming the host of MineCon 2011.

Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise will fail to relaunch on 2011-12-24.
I think this one is fairly obvious. A lawsuit from Valve.
 * This is the Business Magnet speaking, and I honestly don't care if Valve ever hands me out a lawsuit and since they stole so many things from me I should actually file a lawsuit to them, okay?
 * Such speeches will get you nowhere, Mr. Magnet. You clearly were inspired by Valve, and hence only they can take legal action upon you.
 * In all seriousness though, Valve doesn't seem to mind fan output. Portal: Prelude could simply go on its way even after the creators opened the donation link, so one could guess Valve's opinion on fanwork is "as long as it increases our number of sales".
 * Well, it seems this is now jossed.

The Business Magnet is neo-Communist.
First there is the epilogue to Portal 2: The Stupidest Sequel of All Time, claiming the next fic will be set in "the Soviet Union", even though the real Soviet Union should have dissolved thirty-eight years ago, then there is the prologue to The Inevitable Sunset, where one of the Business Magnet's works is "that Gorbachev never became the General Secretary of the Soviet Union Communist Party and hence Lithuanian Sąjūdis never formed and hence the Soviet Union survived until this day", which is pretty obvious neo-Communism. "The Business Magnet: No beginning-of-January-murder this year? I'm very disappointed, Empress Contine. Very very very very disappointed."
 * Not to mention the parody of the January Events (Lithuania vs. the Soviet Union) named "Session #257 1-13" (Empress Contine vs. The Shippers).
 * The Union of Shippers with a Sexual Reference?


 * We just figured out that he is Christian, and communism is against religion...
 * Two sides of the Business Magnet. One Christian, and one communist.
 * So basically the same as the "There is no "Ms. Johnson-Rattmann "interdimensionalPortaller""..." WMG?
 * No. That one was about the author being split into "the Business Magnet" and "interdimensionalPortaller". This one is about the author being split into having conflicting ideologies.

"Invader GLaDOS" is Alternate Future Skepkitty.
In her timeline, ITS MY LIFE! still was written and the author had found Skepkitty's blog, but never got attached to Invader Zim, which led to a stagnation of Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise, which ABSOLUTELY MUST drain a fandom it hasn't already drained. Hence, Skepkitty went back in time, made the of GLaDOS as an Invader, and told Numbuh400 about it, indirectly pushing ASBusinessMagnet towards the "right" side of Invader Zim fans.
 * That is one DEVIATION. Not many DEVIATIONS. Lrn 2 grammar.
 * Others were Lost Forever.
 * SkepSprite?
 * No, as that would be too much like Davesprite, and Jaspersprite too as there's the "kitty" in Skepkitty's name, and she's too much like Rose Lalonde already-
 * Skepkitty is Rose Lalonde. Or rather, her separate identity, the one who'd rather stay grimdark. Hence, Rose's and Skepkitty's descensions are one and the same.
 * Skepkitty's descension involved a crystal ball, a ray gun and a doorstopper of the dark arts. Rose's descension involved neither of these.
 * Or probably
 * Except
 * Skepkitty would like to mention that she approves of this theory.
 * Of which one? The one where she drew GLaDOS as an Irken, or the one where she is Rose Lalonde?
 * Of course it's the one where she is Rose Lalonde you blubbering imbecile, she responded to Irken!GLaDOS with a "No. Just... No" Reaction.
 * I mostly approve of it because it's insane.
 * You still didn't say which theory specifically you approve of. There are two under one WMG.
 * I am a creature of mystery.
 * Also did you ever realize Skepkitty is dark-haired? THE HALF-WORLD BOOK ONE COVER LIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEES.
 * Too bad. She has already latched onto it.
 * I also have arms, pupils, light skin, and better fashion sense than Homestuck!me does, just for the record.
 * And, as Division of Doom showed, Skepkitty epically failed, because Invader Zim acts as means of slowing the franchise down, not speeding it up.
 * In your "alternate timeline", was Invader Zim Born Again Christian posted?
 * Probably not? The author not being a fan of Invader Zim - different state of The Half-World, probably without Holes since there is no demand for Portal fanfics - through butterflies, Loveable Freak does not make her comment - no IZ:BAC.
 * Loveable Freak? Insane Guy of DOOM was actually inspired by his own comment on Zim Born Again.
 * Loveable Freak? Insane Guy of DOOM was actually inspired by his own comment on Zim Born Again.

GL@DDA Magnet isn't actually an incarnation of GLaDOS…
But rather of Zim's base/"I <3 Earth" house. Compare the color schemes of both. I dare you.
 * That also explains her strange name: Gir's Likeness @ Doomy Dooms of Aperture Magnet.
 * I thought it was Genetic Lifeform @ Didactic Deity Aversion Magnet?
 * Let's agree my title is way much catchier.
 * Also, it isn't technically "God Never Said That" but instead "God Meant to Say That but Was Never Asked".
 * Too long as a trope name.
 * Also, it's pretty much an unique case when these all people are just part of God's imagination.
 * Or Applebloom from My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic.
 * I thought I already made it clear that bronies are not going to plague my WMG page.

The ITS MY LIFE! canon is the true post-Scratch Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise.
Pre-Scratch, the Business and GL@DDA Magnets are Cave and Caroline Johnsons' successors. Post-Scratch, Gabe Jonson and Caralion are Principals Business Man's and GLaDOS's successors.
 * Similarly, Marrissa Roberts is Ms. Johnson-Rattmann "interdimensionalPortaller", with the remake of canon in her own favor taken Up to Eleven. You see, she couldn't accept that she was really Chell, so, since they still shared parents, she assumed she was Chell's sister instead.
 * And Wheatley is her husband, corresponding to the author's intentions of making Wheatley Chell's mate in her own fics.
 * Jossed by The Chronicles of DA S Us, as there Chell, Marissa Roberts and "Principle" InterdimensionalPortaller are three distinct characters.
 * GLaDOS and GL@DDA Magnet are two distinct characters...
 * And THOSE JERK ROBOTS Altas and P-Boy had a similar problem, not being able to accept they were really Principals Business Man and GLaDOS, and hence their character development went haywire with their discovery of drugs and beer.
 * And the Blue Portals Development Centre made its way in as Teen Fortress 2, with the favorite Captains Ersatz Denis and Carla Grants re-appearing as Scout and Pyro.
 * And Pyro later realized herself as Tanya Lockwood, just as 0ver5e3r realized herself as Contine Overseer.
 * And hence ITS MY LIFE!, TEEN FORTRESS 2 and the fake third story correspond to > SWITCHES 2, 3 and 1 respectively in Era 2.
 * How about Love Knows No Race?
 * It originally was this page. Both are magnets of only the most nonsensical of plot twists.

Wheatley was based on the Business Magnet (think as a character, not in-universe).
Let's see... both are European males with the theme color blue who, in the far future, have taken over Aperture with GLaDOS by their sides... hmm...
 * Wheatley is British. Not European. Huge difference.
 * Wheatley is a weird fusion of the Business Magnet and irenicPie. She's British and a "derp".
 * You mean like a child.
 * You're a Magnetic Pie shipper? Isn't that, like, explicitly jossed?
 * Sounds like the character name Pinkie Pie.
 * Oh. My. God. The bronies are now on my WMG page! Retreat! Retreat!

The Business Magnet is Back From the Dead Lord Voldemort.
We all know the history of Harry Potter was deliberately corrupted for the use of the franchise (e.g. James and Lily really did die in a car crash and in 1986). So? Lord Voldemort used one of his Horcruxes that were never found during Deathly Hallows to return to life as the Business Magnet and attempted to dedicate his life to spreading the lies, but in the progress became a Portal fan and the desecrator of fandoms that we know.
 * Chell Johnson and Doug Rattmann are (or at least how Voldemort views) Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley. That explains the circumstances of James' and Lily's death. Chell and Doug were made for each other from the point of their birth.
 * Wasn't Doug born in the 1970s?
 * Convenient time travel.
 * So Voldemort's mortal enemy somehow switched from Harry/Doug to Ginny/Chell?
 * And that explains his title, "the Evil Lord…"
 * The franchise even included Voldemort/the Business Magnet having a love interest, to contradict pre-1998 Voldemort's not-capable-of-understanding-love stance.

The Business Magnet is an Irken Invader.
The photos of "him" are really of his human disguise, which for some reason he never wears. Not being able to disguise himself properly, instead of acting in real life he has decided to act on the Internet, claiming to be a Lithuanian. There are no Lithuanians on the Internet!
 * 2008 December 24 was when he arrived to the Earth.
 * The language he claims is "Lithuanian" is really a language used by members of a species the Irkens conquered, transcripted to Latin letters with the letters Q, W and X being forced entirely out and diacritics being added. And then he moved the letter Y to the middle of the alphabet.

Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise and The Half World will do a merger.
Self-explanatory if you read Born Again Christian. "Portal: The Fourth-World anyone?"


 * Does the co-MST of Dib's Other Sister count?
 * No. A full merger. Imagine the fics that constitute Portal: The 4th Millennium franchise didn't exist, and the story was instead told through the occasional responses in the MSTs.

Lumina Squires/Merchant Timetorn is Invader Cakez.
First, Cakez has admitted that she considers herself "humanoid" but not human, and Lumina is a Candy Corn Horn Alien. Second, Cakez has used a nickname "EE Lover" before, and Lumina is literally Enine Estel's Lover. (The nickname "Invader Cakez" probably was chosen to create a dissimile with the "pie girl".)
 * Lumina's literature is about Sgrub and usually longer than the "PlaNoWriBiPe" limit of 50,000 words...
