cursed to like Wheatley not only for the "hehe funny British orb" part but mostly the concept of a manufactured idiot. The self-sabotage. The ostracism. The irredeemability.
Literally immune to character growth. What do you mean "fix" him? He was working as Intended. What makes him awful to be around is his entire reason for existing.

HAPPY BDAY PORTAL2 !!!
Tumblr media
(actually it's fanart for testing maintenance, I'm at chapter 10 at the moment, It's really good fic!! portal stories mel blue sky edition indeed.)
Portal 2 is one of my fav games, I can't put into words how much this game impacted on me, my first game ever actually. It has a simple story, fine gameplay(I don't usually play puzzle games). But at the same time, it's perfect in every way. Not a subjective opinion.
Portal Stories Mel in my opinion, the best fangame for P2! Virgil is like Wheatley, but the opposite lol, I really like how Mel and Virgil interact in TM, so dream team.

whenever wheatley asks you to do something in p2 you should stall because he always has like 5 million different lines that he starts bringing out after every interval pause if you dont respond to him and it starts to get funny how much it never ends. and he does this every time

i think about it at least once a week anyway but now that brazil is next i keep thinking about brazil 21 and how much of a rollercoaster ride it was the narrative was SO rich that weekend it was better than any script anyone could have written
when after mexico it felt like max already had one hand on the trophy because the points gap was big enough that lewis would have had to win all the remaining races and first the freight is stuck in miami and arrives late so teams can't work as they usually would and the first rumours pop up of lewis taking yet another ICE and it feels desperate because why would they take yet another one but then quali happens and lewis gets pole by FOUR tenths which was one of the biggest gaps we had in quali all season and it's okay because he'd start the sprint from p1 but then the race from p6 and he did a mega lap
ONLY THEN after the session reports come out about the fia checking lewis's car forever and bam lewis gets disqualified because his rear wing flap opened only 0.02mm more than it should on one side and merc fight it immediately and video emerges of max touching lewis's rear wing in parc ferme after rb had been baffled by merc's straight line speed and newey met the fia about it but the stewards refuse to come to a decision that day and it feels like the championship is already over just hand the trophy to max while the merc admin is posting about lewis being the dj in the garage as if nothing's happening so saturday happens and merc lose the appeal and max gets fined 50k for touching another car in parc ferme
lewis starts the sprint dead last and has one of THE drives and gets 4 cars in the first lap alone and ends up p5 on the grid in a matter of 24 laps which sets a record for most overtakes in that amount of time and it kinda feels like you're watching something special like history being made like maybe..... but WAIT!!! he still has to take the engine penalty
so sunday comes around and lewis starts the race p10 and gets up to p2 after a small battle with checo and the car is so fast lewis is catching and catching and on lap 48 he tries to overtake max in turn 4 who doesn't even TRY to turn the car and punts him into argentina basically and the stewards don't even note it and wheatley is on the radio about how it's all about letting them race and hard racing while merc complains and masi tells them they've looked at it from all angles which turns out to be a bold faced lie after the race because they didn't have max's onboard and couldn't see his steering inputs at all and he's not referring it to the stewards and lewis puts his head down and sets it up and gets a beautiful move done 1 lap later the crowd goes absolutely wild and after the last two races in that triple header it feels like this championship is on again
he picks up a brazilian flag from a marshal in the cool down lap and drives the lap with it and brazilian commentary literally chokes up on live air and lewis stands on the podium with the brazilian flag around him and brazil celebrates him like he's their own and call him the boss and it was the most beautiful thing he came back from what was essentially a 25 place grid penalty and overtook every single car on the grid some of them even twice and still WON!!!!!

Actually.... have I ever talked about how I think Wheatley is basically the perfect synthesis of what an average Aperture employee was?? Because he was created in Aperture, he'd likely be a reflection of their entire work culture (....moreso than the gimmicky cores we meet in portal/tie-in games). Like the scientists responsible for making him really put all their hatred of their workplace/that-annoying-coworker-they-dislike into him.
He's sooorta miserable but Fine, mostly. A tad paranoid. Kinda classist/ableist (he disparages Manual Laborers in his dialogue and like... everything he says to chell is just so Bad lmao). he's TERRIFIED of GLaDOS but still belittles her. He laughs at the turrets dying in a shredder then realizes how messed up that is and backpedals (also backpedals on his smelly humans bit, but i'll be fair and say he deserves to hate humans as much as GLaDOS does). He breaks the nanomachines' work and then has the audacity to threaten to file a lawsuit against THEM for a Hate Crime?? (which is so so funny for so many reasons but I DIGRESS) Like I don't ascribe to him being a former human employee, but also I can clearly imagine working at Aperture and talking to Wheatley by the water cooler and he's That Moderately Unpleasant Guy who is juuust adequate enough to not be fired but never Exceptional enough to promote, but most importantly, he's not clever enough to actually do anything about his shitty situation in the company. He only fucks up a little less than what is allotted. He's got charisma! Fun for a chat sometimes! But he makes ppl feel bad when they talk to him. He's not the WORST, but he for sure isn't the best. It'd be easy to convince him to commit a crime in the name of Science. (He wouldn't sell your soul for a single corn chip, he'd only sell it for a whole bag.)
Wheatley is THE Aperture employee. And this all tracks because literally what could be a worse decision than continuing to work at Aperture Science?

I had a dream that a new update to portal 2 came out in which the only change was a new menu icon, called 'Journal' In it, after every test chamber or chapter (??? either one) Chell would write down her thoughts about what was going on with the facility in her voice, I was super hyped because it was a canonical depiction of how she writes / the language she would use and thought it'd be really good for depicting her character. Most of the journal entries were her being really frustrated at wheatley / GLaDOS. In it she was also in a relationship with Mel (Not portal stories mel mel, the OG playermodel for P2 before chell was re-introduced. )

HONKAI PORTAL AU??? SPEAKKK plsss would you kindly
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(@lesboymaikol @laios-burger)
(btw mikey if youre planning to continue honkai and/or play either of the portal games then like. spoiler alert)
OKOKOKOK SO. first of all this au doesnt very strictly follow either of the games canons bc its just for funsies but it has more or less portals storyline. SO.
- aperture laboratories are firemoth laboratories
- there is no backstory of how exactly she got there BUT mei is the protag. shes in HoT form this is gonna come up later
- mobius is glados. Obviously. more accurately, caroline was og mobius (the whole memory loss thing still exists btw), p1 glados is her body at ~20 y/o, p2 glados is mobi in the body she has in er, and potatos is mobi as a Toddler. the reason why she doesnt just. walk away. after being disconnected from her chassis is bc shes still running on 1.1 volt so she barely has enough energy to even stay conscious. we dont get the moment of chell stabbing potatos onto the portal gun bc. yknow. but lil mobi still gets additional power bc mei is the herrscher of thunder, she radiates electricity. but she still gets carried away by birds after the fall bc i decided it might not be realistic but it IS very funny
- elysia is wheatley (shes not actually that stupid, mobi just enjoys shittalking her) and the betrayal is HoC taking over. all the cores have humanoid bodies but cant move without a rail or chassis. why? science isnt about why its about why not
- speaking of the cores, the others are:
eden as the morality core (was going to be aponia but i decided that in the game, without using disciplines, mobius is much more likely to listen to eden than she is to aponia)
hua as the curiosity core
kalpas as the anger core
su as the intelligence core
pardo as the adventure core (bc of her whole elysium everlasting treasure hunt)
griseo as the space core (not personality just sig of stars + project ark)
kosma as the fact core (teenage awkwardness makes him spit completely incorrect "facts")
- vill v is cave johnson. self explanatory.
- oh btw as caroline, mobi still says the same voice lines but very Sarcastically
- the turrets are little elf kleins
- atlas and p body are two grey serpents
- WHEN MOBI IS A TODDLER, since its kinda annoying for mei to carry her everywhere, she just snatches a child carrier someone left in old aperture so tiny mobi just spends the rest of the game on meis back
SO THATS ALL. FOR NOW. i kinda have brainrot of this so i'll probably add some stuff weheheh

so is the p2 style a retcon to the p1 style? or is it a separate thing
This is I presume talking about the fact that the Overgrown levels in Portal 2 look nothing like Portal 1. The thing is that the Official Portal 2 Guide states that the Test Track Wheatley breaks you into is explicitly a “Pre-GLaDOS Testing Track”, meaning that it was made prior to GLaDOS’ activation.
Hell, the guide even pokes at the fact that the Test Track is reusing Portal 1 puzzles, stating how they seem ‘familiar’.
Plus! You can find the Portal 1 design of the Turrets all over Portal 2, even co-existing at one point when you pass by the “Hobo Turret” (the one stuck in the tube) which has a Portal 1 Turret right next to it. Even the design of the Companion Cube that GLaDOS throws your way is the original Portal 1 Cube.
Ultimately I think it’s up to personal preference as to whether Portal 2 really retcons Portal 1’s visual look, I think it doesn’t and that the Portal 1 look is still very much canon, just elsewhere in the facility.
