Oh, alcohol—

and would you please forgive me?

For while I cannot love myself,

I’ll be something else…

several months ago I put together this wheatley gijinka for fun (read: because I wanted to make him and glados have domestic quarrels)

and then I blinked and October was almost over

anyway these are old but I still like them

#I like how wheatley’s handlebars are articulated in the middle for expressive purposes #and this maps really well onto eyebrows and mustaches #which are also articulated in the middle for expressive purposes #(actually DRAWING that point of articulation is rough though. I’m lazy and shapes are hard.) #spewpurr posts #spewpurr doodles #tentative portal tag #tentative wheatley tag #human!wheatley #tentative chell tag

some visual psychological metaphors in portal 2

While each of these things aren’t necessarily examples of their respective metaphor, there are cases for each of them being demonstrated elsewhere in the game.

For example, Repetition Compulsions: when Wheatley is operating the maintenance elevator, he says, “Oh! Look at that. It's turning. Ominous. But probably fine. Long as it doesn't start moving up...” — and then Wheatley, who not even five minutes ago had demonstrated that he knew how to use the control panels to manipulate the facility (by opening the secret panel that he already knew was there) and could do so fairly competently, “””accidentally””” makes the elevator bring them back to GLaDOS, and “””accidentally””” wakes up GLaDOS in the process, effectively putting himself back in a dangerous situation.

…Among other things, but I’m having trouble collapsing everything into comprehensible and properly-ordered words. Might make a follow-up post when I feel a bit more articulate.

"Look at this! No rail to tell us where to go! OH, this is brilliant. We can go wherever we want! Jus— hold on, though, where are we going? Seriously. Hang on, let me just— get my bearings. Um… Just— follow the rail, actually.”

Just played the Portals for the first time, like, a month or two ago. I have a lot of thoughts, but this is the one that really wanted to come out first, I guess.

Another Nintendo character is an ancient being with floating green rings and eye motifs. I have to wonder if there’s, like, some kind of very specific reference material both characters were inspired by? Maybe some sort of Japanese folktale, or…?

“I don't need your advice. I don't need your ratings. And I certainly don't need the validation of a man whose job is to push buttons.

“I think I'll just go about my business making meaningful cultural contributions to the world. And perhaps, every now and then, I'll think back to a man named Stanley, who was objectively wrong in every decision he ever made. The thought won't last long.

“Goodbye, Stanley. Good luck with your work, and I sincerely hope that everyone lives happily ever after.”

Happy belated anniversary, TSPUD~

#the plant symbolism of the memory zone still gets me #like you have all these plants associated with happy domestic living: #like ​blackberry bushes birch logs and flax flowers #and then you have these white chicory flowers #which are associated with unrequited love #with a lover waiting in vain for their beloved #(and this happens immediately before the skip button ending btw. if you care.) #spewpurr posts #spewpurr doodles #tentative stanley parable tag #tentative stanley’s wife tag #tentative stanley tag #tentative stanwife tag #this was originally going to be part of a masterpost about why the narrator is stanley’s wife #but then I realized it was 4/27 and thought this would be a cute standalone piece to celebrate

ophthalmologist tumblr what kind of fucking astigmatism turns an LED light into miserable demon eyes

#it only happens when I’m spacing out too #then when I notice the light splitting and pay more attention it blends back together #I think I’m losing it #spewpurr posts #spewpurr doodles
