Happy 10th Birthday Portal 2 🎉🎂

Wheatley's character is so fucking funny. Like if you look at his character as a whole, all the comments about "they told me if I did this I'd die," his complete desperation for control and power even when it is blatantly obvious he does not have the ability to wield it, that is genuinely fascinating. Wheatley is a genuinely interesting, compelling character. but also his entire character is

Short comic from my AU! I will drop a few notes into the read more about the scene, plus my typical nonsense in the tags.

The character shown in panel 5 is intended to be this AU’s hero character, Chris, wearing an amethyst robe (as he’s a budding mage). I will also mention that in this AU, Terraria can bring back to life (when not weakened -- hence why she couldn’t restore the Dryad race) those who have provided great service and died an unnatural death, though it’s not a very pleasant experience. Andrew (Guide) has been brought back many, many times at this point, though he does still harbor some worries that if the WoF is defeated, he’ll have served his purpose and will remain dead. He is making logical sense with pointing out that merely killing the WoF may not free him from his curse, though -- the old man has essentially been traditionally cursed/bound to Skeletron against his will, so destroying Skeletron will free him, but Andrew has always been the WoF; there’s nothing to be separated there when it’s one soul. That doesn’t mean he’s happy about it, but he’s had plenty of time to accept it.

Despite how they talk to each other, Andrew and the old man are friends in this AU. Andrew’s actually the elder of the two, funnily enough, even if he physically appears to be fairly young. Even before the old man is freed of his curse, Andrew will visit him by the dungeon, though he doesn’t stay for long. I originally planned this scene to have them having a picnic together, then realized I didn’t want to draw food, so Andrew is instead dropping off some supplies and is given a book stolen from the dungeon in return.

I have a lot more to say about this AU, but I don’t want to stick a mile long text blog into this post, so I’m going to cut it off here. Thanks for reading!

SKONG REAL

consider: aperture as a popular workplace for trans people in the 50s-60s because they’d help you transition, in whatever way you wanted, no questions asked

bill from accounting is brenda now? cool, if she made it out of the lab without antennae and her blood is still blood, we’re happy for her

I think my favorite part in any video game I’ve ever played is that bit in Portal 2 that essentially goes:

GLaDOS: “Great, this is the part where he kills you.” Wheatley: “Hello! This is the part where I kill you!”

Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You

*Achievement Unlocked: The Part Where He Kills You”

he’s too small for the strawberry hat

Doodling some ideas for upcoming armor for Chris to get a feel for how elements interact.

Leftmost is intended as diamond robes worn as vanity over dyed meteor armor; middle is similar but without dye, and right swaps out the robes for a larger worm scarf. Left feels most fitting for him, in terms of color and design -- his next weapon will be the diamond staff, so it matches well in that regard, and I played around with recreating that look in-game.

Still thinking about it though! It'll be a while in any case before it shows up in-comic, so I have time to play with it further.

that outfit design sucks you need to add more belts that do nothing
