Line 1: {{work}} The ''[[Portal (~~Video Game~~series)\|Portal]]'' and ''[[~~Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)\|~~Team Fortress 2]]'' equivalents to ''[[My Immortal]]'' and the like, ITS MY LIFE! and TEEN FORTRESS 2 are two fan fictions sharing a plot by "MarrissaTheWriter", a pseudonym for (in)famous [[Fanfiction.net]] troll [[~~Sue Mary (Creator)\|~~Sue Mary]]. The first one, called ITS MY LIFE!, tells the story of [[Mary Sue\|Marrissa Roberts]], seemingly Chell's sister with "Special powers" who is [[You Fail Biology Forever\|somehow pregnant with Wheatley's "robot ball/human baby"]], and was completed with sixteen chapters and a credits song. The second fan fiction and a "seekwillspinoff" of ITS MY LIFE!, called "TEEN FORTRESS 2", tells the story of Scot/Scout, Team/Teen Fortress 2 and their problems in [[High School AU\|high school]], and is now complete at ten chapters. (Not to be confused with [http://www.somethingawful.com/hosted/jeffk/teenforetress2.htm this] "TEEN FORTRESS 2".) The author, while out of "inspertation", has been begged to write a third fan fiction. She recently gave in and wrote a new story, ''[[~~Invader Zim Born Again Christian (Fanfic)\|~~Invader Zim: Born Again Christian]]''. A sequel to ITS MY LIFE! was recently announced on [[The Half World]], in which Marrissa, Wheatly and Chell Junor are forced to leave Portal Labs and Marrissa must participate in [[The Hunger Games]].

[[I Read That As\|Not to be confused with a certain]] [[~~Bon Jovi (Music)\|~~Bon Jovi]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC67JzPqDG4&hd=1 song]. [[Similarly Named Works\|Or any other song]] [[wikipedia:~~Itchr(27)~~It's My Life\|named "It's My Life".]] ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''ITS MY LIFE!'' and ''TEEN FORTRESS 2'' provide examples of: ===~~ * [[ALLCAPS]] - The author's notes are always written this way. * [[Anachronism Stew]] - Somehow in "the past" (for which the best guess is [[The Nineties]]) [[Back to ~~The~~the Future (~~Film~~film)\|Back to The Future]] doesn't exist yet, while [[Miley Cyrus]] does, and the television of the time is black and white. [[Insane Troll Logic\|(And by that I mean the stuff that isn't black or white shows up as transparent.)]] Not to mention ''[[Abraham Lincoln]]'' is the president, who is from the wrong ''century''. {{quote\| Apparently, MarissaTheWriter thinks that if it’s “the past”, just any old person from the past can be written into the story. Next she’s going to have [[Gaius Julius Caesar\|Julius Caesar]] give everyone printing presses.}} Though, black and white security cameras are there even nowadays, so these existing in the nineties isn't that unlikely. Also, a form of [[Anachronism Stew]] occurs even in the present: ''[[Green Lantern (~~Film~~film)\|Green Lantern]]'' was released ''after'' ITS MY LIFE! began (but before (?) it was referenced). ** If [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29956148/SCaHM/Strip_Six.jpg Strip Six of Sweet Chell and Hella Marrissa]{{Dead link}} was a reliable and/or canon source, TEEN FORTRESS 2 would take place in the 1920s. * [[Anyone Can Die]] - They will be resurrected in inane ways anyway. ** Though, by the end of ITS MY LIFE! in the future everyone from Portal Labs save for Marrissa, Wheatley, Chell Junior and "Atbod and P-Las" (and possibly Rattmann) is dead for real. * [[Author Appeal]] - Only the males seem to ever be [[Male Frontal Nudity\|depicted nude or showcasing their genitalia]], at least until Scot enters the girls' bathroom. ** Also Chell's "booty" is given more attention than Chell herself in the story, to the point where it is referred to as a separate entity. * [[Back ~~From~~from the Dead]] - Several times in various means. There are two main ways to become un-dead in ''ITS MY LIFE!'': one is that when you die, you appear in "Andord Hell" and can escape from it (this is how GLaDOS and "Gabe" Jonson came back to life) and the other is that when you eat zombie taters and "dead" you will become "zomboy" (Chell's case, she later came over to Adroid Hell and turned into her "retorded normal" self because there are no zombies in Adroid Hell.) More weirdly played with Marrissa herself. One of her special powers is that when she eats the zombie taters and dies (or vice versa), instead of becoming a zombie, she simply becomes alive again. * People are brought back several other ways as well. [[~~G La DOS~~GLaDOS]] is brought back to life accidentally when Marrissa strikes her with lightning, and Wheatley comes back by Marrissa traveling back in time to bring his past self to the present to replace the dead Wheatley. The obvious and plentiful paradoxes that would cause are completely ignored. * [[Badass Family]] - Not only Marrissa has speshul powers and Wheatly has the [[Power of Love]], their child, who [[Pregnant Badass\|isn't even]] ''[[Pregnant Badass\|born]]'' [[Pregnant Badass\|yet]], can survive an attack from Assirram. * [[Batman Can Breathe in Space\|Marissa Can Fly To And Breathe In Space]] * [[Brain Uploading]] - Gabe Jonson turns Caroline into GLaDOS (named after her mother, Principal GLaDOS) and later Cave turns Wheatly into a robo ball. * [[Britain Is Only London]] - Invoked when {{spoiler\|Assirram is killing off "all the city of Englond", including the Queen.}} {{quote\| {{spoiler\|"Bloody no! There killin the queen!" Wheatly britished.}}}} * [[Cameo]] - The zombies from [[Resident Evil]] and [[Dead Space (~~Franchise~~series)\|Dead Space]] appear briefly. * [[Cloudcuckoolander]] - The author "Marrissa the Writer" seems to be one. Her responses to some of the negative reviews are just downright odd such as when stated her jokes about Chell being mentally retarded due to brain damage were [[Dude, Not Funny]] she replied by saying its okay because "[[Completely Missing the Point\|CHELL IS JUST A PRETEND CARTOON!]]". Also when Chell and [[~~G La DOS~~GLaDOS]] fuse, she becomes known as "CHELLGADOS", most reviewers believed it to be a simple misspelling of "CHELLGLADOS" only for Marrissa to explain "I NO THAT GLADOS IS SPELLED GLADOS I CALLED HER FUSION CHELLGADOS BECOS CHELL ALREADY HAS THE LS AN IT [[Rule of Cool\|SOUNDED MORE COOLER]]!" As well as this exchange: {{quote\| '''<nowiki>MarrissaTheWriter:</nowiki>''' ...he named it that ''(refers to Scot naming his baseball bat Marrissa)'' as a shutout to ITS MY LIFE!~~<br />~~ '''<nowiki>ASBusinessMagnet:</nowiki>''' This is the past. He wouldn't know about ITS MY LIFE! because it wasn't invented yet!~~<br />~~ '''<nowiki>MarrissaTheWriter:</nowiki>''' Thats why Scot dosent rember why he called his bat Marrissa! }} * [[Cluster F-Bomb]] - Logic dropped several of them with the introductory chapter of ITS MY LIFE!'s editing. * [[Crazy Prepared]]- When Doug Rattmann appears he reveals that to become immune from [[Groin Attack\|groin attacks]] he replaced his balls with the Space and Adventure cores while remarking "[[Duke Nukem\|I'VE GOT BALLS OF STEEL]]!". * [[Crossover]] - Mainly between [[Portal (~~Video Game~~series)\|Portal]] and [[~~Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)\|~~Team Fortress 2]], there are also elements from [[Half Life]] and [[Invader Zim]], the zombies from [[Resident Evil]] and [[Dead Space (~~Franchise~~series)\|Dead Space]] have cameos, and Marrissa cries that she has been [[Left 4 Dead]]. In Teen Fortress 2 {{spoiler\|[[Harry Potter]] characters have begun to appear, and Harry is the same guy as Wheatley.}} Marrissa later claimed she wanted ITS MY LIFE! and TEEN FORTRESS 2 to take place in the same continuity as an Invader Zim fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/800177/1/Love_Knows_No_Race Love Knows No Race]. * [[Dead Guy, Junior]] - GLaDOS. Cave Jonson. Chell Junior. * [[Death Is Cheap]] - ~~[[G La DOS]]~~GLaDOS is resurrected by a lighting bolt after attempting "Sewiside". * [[Did Not Do the Bloody Research]]: Wheatley talks almost entirely in British swear-words. When reviews pointed out to Marrissa that these words are cusses in Britain instead of just insults like "darn" she said "(The Words) MEAN SOMETHING NOTTY? OMG!" ** However when another review pointed out that technically they were insults too, she went back to using them misinterpreting that review to mean the others were untrue. * [[Disproportionate Retribution]] - So Chell is dancing... That makes it okay to shoot her in the head? ** From [[The Half World]] MSTing: {{quote\| Marissa has a very weird set of morals. Shooting your sister in the head because she’s brain-damaged {{=}} [[Blatant Lies\|fine]]. Leaving your zombie sister who wants to eat your flesh in android hell, where she will presumably be fine since she’s not an android {{=}} WE MUST SAVE HER?!}} * [[Drugs Are Bad]] - Apparently "Altas" and "P-Boy" the robots drink and smoke drugs while they beat Marissa up. {{quote\| '''Wheatley''': "He b***** wanna smoke some drugs/?" P-Body said an gave ne a drugs. "No." I answered becos drugs are bad I new from Marrissa.}} * [[Every One Remembers the Stripper]]: Averted, in chapter 6 Sniper brings a "striper" named Loise Boombooms to a party and she's never mentioned again. * [[Evil Twin]] - Cave Jonson is the evil twin of Gabe Jonson. [[Evil Counterpart]] - The evil Teen Fortress 2.. Line 155 ⟶ 154: This has happened to Chapters 8 and 9 as well, and an M-rated "better" version of ITS MY LIFE! is already here. *** Which received a simple ">=(" from the author herself. * [[Fan Nickname]] - Quite a number of fans has called ITS MY LIFE! "[[My Immortal\|My Im]][[Portal (~~Video Game~~series)\|Portal]]". ** Also many of the reviewers take to call Marrissa "Marrisser", which ended up appearing in the story afterwords. * [[Gorn]] - Marrissa can get really creative when writing how characters died. A select few death descriptions: {{quote\| The turrents screemed lick a screemin thing that screems an they died. ~~<br />~~ {{spoiler\|My hole body glowed brite gold an there was a huge boom an Assirram becomed a skelton. Then the skelton died.}}~~<br />~~ {{spoiler\|An Atlas an P-Body lolled an shot me in head. "Marrissa!" Wheatly screamed an ever thing got really black an I died.}} }} ** As well as how the Spy look's under his mask, how Wheatley became a personality core, and why Rattmann felt the need to replace his balls with the space and adventure cores. * [[Gag Boobs]] - At one point, due to a typo, Marrissa's fall was broken not by her lung fall boots, but by her "long boobs". * [[Grand Finale]] - Chapter 16 of ITS MY LIFE!. ...And then a credits song was also posted and TEEN FORTRESS 2 started. Line 174 ⟶ 173: Weirdly enough, while Logic does present himself as a better editor, he actually did insert a terrible sex scene. Which only led to Marrissa saying that the story is T-rated and can't have sex scenes. ** Also, one of the reviews of ITS MY LIFE! tried to explain to the author what "wank" means: {{quote\| WANK {{=~~<br />~~}} Wank means to Masturbate.~~<br />~~ To Masturbate is to stimulate oneself (you're already confused, aren't you, illiterate trollfic writer?).~~<br />~~ To stimulate someone is to yank their [[Getting Crap Past the Radar\|pénis]] (or Willy/man parts/privates as you 7-year-olds put it) until they get an orgasm.<br /> An Orgasm is that feeling of intense pleasure you get in sex.<br /> Line 186 ⟶ 185: * [[Lightning Can Do Anything]] * [[Loads and Loads of Characters]] - While the story doesn't have too many characters, compared to Portal, which had only two (three if you count [[The Unseen\|Doug Rattmann]]) this trope applies. ** Even in comparison to [[~~Portal 2 (Video Game)\|~~Portal 2]], Marissa's story had a good deal more characters than canon. * [[Lost Forever]] - ITS MY LIFE! was ''eventually'' removed by admins. ** Marrissa [[Angrish\|did not take this very well]], as can be seen in the quotes section. * [[Meanwhile in ~~The~~the Future\|Meanwhile In The Past]] - Chapter 13 of ITS MY LIFE! uses it. ** [[Prequel\|And it is the main premise]] of TEEN FORTRESS 2. * [[Medium Awareness]]: "Bad musik started to play so I new there was gonna be a fight." * [[Naked Onon Arrival]] - Cave Jonson. (And I mean Gabe Jonson who renamed himself to Cave because his evil twin (who was also named Cave) died.) * [[Name's the Same]] - All the characters have a ridiculous habit of naming people/animals/things after their dead relatives. GLaDOS, Cave Jonson, Chell Junior (a robot ball-human baby), Katty Smithereens (a koala) and Marrissa (a baseball bat) have all fell victim to this one. * [[New Powers Asas the Plot Demands]] * [[Non-Indicative Name]] - "Chapter 12: The Final Battle", while it does end with {{spoiler\|Marrissa dying}} there are four more chapters afterwards. (Five if you count the "Credits Song"). * [[Good Girls Avoid Abortion\|Non-Jerks Avoid Abortion]]: "Just lick I ekspected those two JERK ROBOTS were smokin drugs an drinkin beer (P-Body had a abortion becos shes a jerk an isnt pro-life the b***)." [[They Just Didn't Care\|Naturally, her kids show up in the sequel.]] [[Our Zombies Are Different]] - {{spoiler\|Even though Chell was shot in the head, she became a zombie. And can speak.}} * [[Overly Long Name]] - Averted for the [[~~Marry~~Mary Sue]], which is quite surprising given what [[My Immortal\|the story is an homage to]]. * [[The Power of Love]] - Between Marrissa and Wheatley, and occasionally foreshadowed. {{quote\| Little Wheatly is a powerful bad arse now becos I have THE POWAR OF LOVE!}} * [[Random Teleportation]] - The prototip portal gun, originally taking people strictly to [[Fire and Brimstone Hell\|Android Hell]], by Chapter 16 also took Marrissa and Assirram to [[Everything's Better ~~With~~with Dinosaurs\|the land of dinosaurs]], [[Star Wars\|The Death Star]] and Portal High School. * [[Rape Asas Drama]]: The "rap" of the naked gurls by the football dudes in Teen Fortress 2, they also raped Heavy's gun "Sasa". * [[Recursive Fanfiction]] - Various. [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7187436/1/MarissaxChell MarissaxChell] and Portla 3 by Arrow-Awesome, [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f2-6gM-bSu2gyHQnFzg6ZybsgPXVCvh0TdhkssXFWzY/edit Portal: The 4th Millennium: The Trollfic Edition] by [[Portal: ~~the~~The 4th Millennium Franchise ~~(Fanfic)~~\|ASBusinessMagnet]], [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8066540/1/The_Chronicles_of_DA_SUs The Chronicles of DA SUs] by WheatleysGurl... ** [[ITSMYLIFE Expanded Universe ~~(Fanfic)~~\|ITS MY LIFE! Expanded Universe]] now has its own TV Tropes page. * [[Retcon]] - Whenever its pointed out that Marrissa got a character's name (or [[Critical Research Failure\|gender]]) wrong she makes up a story about how the character was originally named her misspelled name before they changed it to the canon version for some incredibly convoluted reason. * [[Rouge Angles of Satin]] - Many, many of them. Particularly, "feces" instead of "faces". [[~~This~~Punctuated! IsFor! ~~Sparta~~Emphasis!\|Every. Single. Time]] * [[Science Fair]] - While one proper never happens, Caroline brings Wheatley to Portal High School and he has to pretend he is a science fair project. {{quote\| “Since, you know, high school students often invent sentient ~~[[A Is]]~~AIs.”}} However, in MarissaTheWriter's world, they actually do: Gabe Jonson later made a robotic body for Caroline, his [[Evil Twin]] made one for Wheatley and the Medic resurrected the Spy's head. * And the Engineer also made a time machine. [[Artificial Intelligence]] and [[Time Travel]] are probably this universe's equivalents of baking soda volcanoes and potato batteries. * [[Sdrawkcab Name]] - Assirram Strebor. ** [[Sarcasm Mode\|Well what other name do you think]] {{spoiler\|[[Sarcasm Mode\|an evil clone]]}} [[Sarcasm Mode\|would pick?]] {{quote\| S’taht a ecin sdrawkcab eman uoy evah ereht, Assiram Strebor. <ref>If you take all the words and reverse them one by one, you get "that'S a nice backwards name you have there, marissA robertS."</ref>}} * [[Self Insert]] - The author's [[Pen Name]] is "[[Name's the Same\|Marissa]] the Writer" after all... * [[Sequel Hook]] - The credits song hints at the possibility of one, and that Ratman was not really dead and would play a roll. ** More recently [[Marrissa The Writer]] has stated "TEEN FORTRES 2 IS GET SUM MAJOR STORY CHANGEZ AN WELL BE SORTA LICK A SEEKWILL OF ITS MY LIFE BECOS MAYBE MARRISSA WILL BE IN OR MAYEB NOT I HAVNT DESIDED YET." * [[Shout-Out]] - Marrissa quite frequently will make puns based on movies and video game names and [[Don't Explain the Joke\|makes sure the reader is aware of them]]. From chapter one: "[[Atlas Shrugged~~\|Atlas shrugged~~]] (GET IT IT'S A MOVIE!)." <ref>Followed by ""WHEATLY!" I screemed ayn rand towards him."</ref> Chapter two had "[[Misery]] (GET IT ITS A MOVIE)" * "Put him out of his misery" is also a quote from ''[[~~Inception (Film)\|~~Inception]]'', though, as it is a given [[Sue Mary ~~(Creator)\|Sue Mary]]~~ is a huge movie buff, she could have referenced either. In chapter four, the characters are [[Left 4 Dead]] *** The biggest shout out in the story comes when Rattmann replaces his testicles with the Space and Adventure Cores so he can have "Balls of Steel", Marrissa explains "Thats from a game called [[Duke Nukem Forever ~~(Video Game)~~\|Duke Nukum Forever]] its funny". * [[Sir Swearsalot\|Lady Swears-a-Lot]] - Assirram. "(she seys a lot of cusses becos shes really evil)" * [[~~SMURFING~~Smurfing]] - All the "<nationality>-ing" (i.e. "britishing") words and "happying". * [[Space Is Noisy]] - She attempts to avert this, but ends up playing it straight anyway: {{quote\| Then I rembered, [[Alien (~~Film~~franchise)\|in space noone can here you scream!]] So I couldn't here them, unless maybe I have another special power! I thot hard to try an listen when I heard something it was….. WHEETLY!}} * [[Spinoff Babies]] - Sort of; when Marrissa travels to the past she meets "Teen Fortress 2", the teenage versions of the characters from [[~~Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)\|~~Team Fortress 2]]. She has started writing a [[Spin-Off]] about their adventures in "Portal High School" for your enjoyment. * [[Stock Dinosaurs]] - ''[[Tyrannosaurus Rex\|T. rex]]'', spelled as... "trex". {{quote\| Assirram made the first portal it was the land of dinosaurs so we fot over a big volcano but a trex eated Assirram so I was happy but Assirram explodd out of the trexs tummy gettin blood an branes every where.}} * [[Take That]] - Towards the ~~[[MS Ters]]~~MSTers. In the last chapter they get {{spoiler\|eaten by Scot's brothers and the "liter" get punched in the face.}} * [[Tangled Family Tree]] - While not ''too'' tangled, most of the main characters are related to each other with family relationships, and [[Planet of Steves\|identical names]] make it worse. To be specific, {{spoiler\|1=Principal GLaDOS is the mother of Caroline. Cave and Gabe Jonsons are twins, one evil and one good. Gabe and Caroline (turned into GLaDOS the A.I.) have two children, Marrissa "Roberts" and Chell, through artificial insemination, but the DNA is a mixup and Rattmann turns out to be Chell's biological parent. Marrissa and Wheatley (who is actually Harry Potter) marry each other and have one child, Chell Junior.}} * Scot's family is an entirely different story: {{spoiler\|Scot's [[Human Mom, Nonhuman Dad\|father is a dog and mother is a human]]. His eight brothers are mad dogs (only one has been given a name, Wulf (deceased)), and Scot himself is a dog-human hybrid. Scot and Pyro are involved in a romantic relationship, as (unsucessfully) are Spy and Caroline.}} *** [[Cloning Blues\|And of course]] {{spoiler\|Cave cloned the good Teen/Team Fortress 2 to make evil Teen Fortress 2 and they (evil Teen Fortress 2) cloned Marrissa Roberts to make Assirram Strebor.}} * [[Timey-Wimey Ball]] - The later chapters feature heavy amounts of [[Time Travel]], and Marrissa (the author) frequently gets mixed up on whether or not they're still in the past leading to some incredibly big [[Plot Hole\|plot holes]], such as Wheatley dying, so she goes back in time to before she met Wheatley and brings him to the present only to forget its the past Wheatley so he inexplicably remembers things that in his timeline have not happened yet. More beautifully explained with this quote: {{spoiler\|For those not getting it, this thought in the past is impossible because, since Facebook isn't "invented" yet, no one in the past would know about it.}} {{quote\| '''Evil Heavy:''' We shold right a mean things on her facebook page!~~<br />~~ '''Evil Medic:''' No you idot this is the past facebook isnt invented yet! }} * Also, Marrissa and other characters are (or just attempt to look) [[Genre Savvy]] and are very careful not to mess up the "time streem", but do anyway: if Marrissa took Wheatley from the past she couldn't have met him in the future, because he simply wouldn't have been there. *** Even more weirdly, Wheatley is shown to have affection to Marrissa before even ''meeting her''. * [[Title Drop]] - The last line of the last chapter (not counting the credits song). ** As well as Chapter 5 of TEEN FORTRESS 2, "ITS HIS LIFE!" * [[Troll Fic]] - Was confirmed to be such. Insane Guy of Doom (also known as [[Sue Mary ~~(Creator)\|Sue Mary]]~~) mentioned he wrote ITS MY LIFE! because he wanted Portal to have its own [[~~My Immortal (Fanfic)\|~~My Immortal]]. ** For what this guy does when he's not trolling, see [[Being Human ~~a Portal Fanfic~~ (~~Fanfic~~fanfic)\|Being Human]]. * [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life]] - [[Your Mileage May Vary]], but the fact is that Marrissa knows of TV Tropes: {{quote\| I GOT A REVIEW SAYIN I WAS [[Jumping the Shark\|JUMPIN THE SHARK]] ([[Critical Research Failure\|ITS A TV WORD]]) AN I AM KINNA RUNNIN OUT OF IDEAS SO I THINK ONSE MARRISSA FIGHTS ASSIRRAM [[Tropes Are Not Good\|ILL END THE STORY]] BUT IT WILL BE THE MOST EPIC AN ENTENSE END YET SO MAYBE THE LAST ONE WILL BE CHAPTER 20? FIND OUT!}} She also apparently knows of this article: {{quote\| It [ITS MY LIFE!] even gots a TV TROOPS page so its the most famos portal faaniction every!}} * That sounds [[Troll Fic\|suspiciously similar]] to [[Light and Dark - The Adventures of Dark Yagami]]. * [[T-Word Euphemism]] - Marrissa can spell ''a curseword covered in asterisks'' wrong. (Example: "b<nowiki></nowiki>" (6 letters), to which closest examples are "bitch" (5 letters) and "bastard" (7 letters).) [[Villain Ball]] - Why are "Altas" and "P-Boy" so evil? Who knows! Line 258 ⟶ 257: * [[Write Who You Know]] - Marrissa already wrote "Katty Smithereens", the "Business Man" and "Mr. Logik Edtor" into TEEN FORTRESS 2. * [[You Keep Using That Word]] - Wheatley keeps saying "wank" as the author believes its simply a British insult. Leading to some hilarious [[Accidental Innuendo]] lines such as "You can bloody do it Marrissa. Wank them good!" and "Help me Marrissa this bloody bugger is trying to wank me!" More specifically, she seems to believe it means "to beat someone up". Also, [[wikipedia:God Save the Queen\|"god save the queen"]] can be found in Wheatley's vocabulary, which is actually the name for the British anthem, and not used in everyday life, and much less in ''Portal 2'' case. ** "Feces" is not the same word as "faces". Line 266 ⟶ 265: * [[The Half World]] MST: [[Big No]]: {{quote\| OH GOD NO~~<br />~~ PLEASE NO~~<br />~~ NOT A [[High School ~~AU\|HIGH SCHOOL~~ AU]] FIC~~<br />~~ NOOOOOOOOO }} [[Driving Question]]: {{quote\| '''By Chapter 9 of ITS MY LIFE!, when the TF2 characters are first met:''' Also, is this the BLU team or the RED team?~~<br />~~ '''By Chapter 10, when the evil clones are met:''' So is this the RED team or the BLU team?~~<br />~~ '''By Chapter 2 of TEEN FORTRESS 2:''' "He waved an we got red for school." So I guess they’re the RED team, then? }} *** It is revealed, however, that they became the BLU team, and then "Redman" cloned said team and made the RED team a.k.a. "Team Fortress 2". (The BLU team also called themselves "Team Fortress 2".) {{quote\| I suppose this settles the question as to whether this is the RED team or the BLU team.}} * Library of the Damned MST: [[Step Three: Profit]]: {{quote\| So [[~~G La DOS~~GLaDOS]]’ super-effective plan was;~~<br />~~ ~~<br />~~ 1. Give Chell a brain damage relapse so she would Booty Quake~~<br />~~ 2. Force Wheatley to watch Chell Booty Quake without him knowing he was being forced to do so.~~<br />~~ 3. Tell Marissa about the zombie-making potatoes curing brain damage.~~<br />~~ 4. ???~~<br />~~ 5. <s>Profit!</s> Marissa’s Emo-Gothification and the death of everyone! }} [[Porky Pig Pronunciation]]: {{quote\| Marissa laughs at GLaDOS, reminding her that she is immune to the nero …. nerdro … neuro … icky green farts.}} * The Unfortunate Discovery of Marissa Roberts: ** [[Driven to Suicide]]: Both Space Core ''and'' Wheatley attempt to escape the story by jumping into a bottomless pit. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Its My Life~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:~~Fan Fic~~Fanfic]] [[Category:Portal (series)/Fan Works]] [[Category:Team Fortress 2/Fan Works]]
