Portal 2

What song do you associate with the game portal 2?

I think the only thing the portal fandom does that is weird is treat Wheatley like he is as stupid as a child.

Or just baby him to a weird degree in general.

This dude is aware and knows things, he is just not the brightest in certain areas. This doesn't mean he's unaware of everything around him.

He recognizes his wrongs, and that he needs to do and be better to fix that. If he was like a kid he wouldn't understand what he did was wrong and think he didn't deserve what happened to him, because in that case he wouldn't have known better.

COMMISSION SCAMS!!

For whatever reason I had TWO separate commission scammers contact me on two separate accounts in one night. I’ve heard about these incidents on Twitter and Instagram before, but now they’ve seem to have taken to tumblr!!

Common warnings of commission scams to watch out for

-Asking for a commission thats extremely different from your usual art: If the commissioner asks you to draw something that severely strays away from what you usually draw, it’s probably for a reason. Most real commissioners will wanna commission people who make art already similar to what they want to receive. (for example I pretty much exclusively draw Sonic the Hedgehog characters at the moment and had one person ask for a full body, fully rendered photo of a girl in a dress and the other ask for a drawing of a dog for their son— which is a very very common scam request. Not at all like what I draw!!)

-Offering a large sum of money, way greater than what you WOULD have asked for it: A common amount of money to be offered is 200 dollars. If something is too good to be true, it probably is. People wanna get the most bang for their buck. 200 for an artwork of your son’s dog is a LOT. Especially if they follow it with “sorry for low budget.”

-Their profile only has 1 or 2 posts, or no posts at all: Some people will only make reposts, and some people will only make posts, however it’s uncommon for people on this app to have NOTHING to their profile. Reblogging is a major part of this app, most people will have a decent amount. Their profile shouldn’t look new with the default settings and no pfp.

-They’re asking to only pay over echeck OR they’re asking for your PayPal EMAIL ADDRESS: PayPal is a secure way of payment and gets rid of the possibility of being scammed out of thousands of dollars like the common echeck trick they use where they send over too much money and then scam you out of about that same amount. It’s good if they’re asking to use PayPal, however they should be asking for your PayPal USERNAME, not full name and email of the account. You can PayPal (and Venmo) things by username. Email won’t help you.

-Offering to pay before the artwork is completed (not requested by artist or part of any policies) Nobody is THAT eager to give away their money, especially for such an “expensive artwork” that is being commissioned to a teen or young adult that may never finish it!!

-This.:

I hope this post can help steer even one person away from getting scammed!! It’s a scary world out there and I love all of yall! Let me know some of your experiences. Are you also getting these sort of messages? Have they all moved onto here now??

Accounts to look out for (both scammers)

The first one tried to contact me on two separate blogs.

To me, it's kind of insane that the whole "Intelligence Dampening Sphere" reveal was kept from us for so long.

Like, you'd think that GLaDOS would weaponize this knowledge sooner. But no, for the first part of the game, She remains surprisingly ignorant of Wheatley, and even once She does acknowledge him, it's very impersonal, compared to the vitriol She expresses afterwards. "Metal ball", really? That's it? As if She really coudn't distinguish him from any other robot in the facility.

...But okay. Seeing how good She is at suppressing traumatic memories, maybe it really took Her that long to remember; maybe there was something specific that needed to be triggered first. Whatever.

But Wheatley? Resident Mr. "Can't Keep A Secret To Save His Life"? You're saying that, after endless complaints about his jobs, he'd never mention his original occupation? That, after bringing up the human who managed to kill GLaDOS, he'd pass up the opportunity to boast about the kind of damage he was able to inflict on Her? That he wouldn't at least vent his frustrations if the whole ordeal was as distressing to him as it was to Her?

And yet he doesn't seem to be unaware of his nature, either. If he didn't know he was made to dampen Her intelligence, then, most likely, he'd just interpret the accusation of such as bluff and dismiss it. Instead, he goes into denial, yes — but barely shows any confusion and never tries to refute. Plus, compare the ensuing meltdown to how he reacts to being called an idiot during the pre-transfer struggle — it's not nearly as caustic.

And then there's... nothing else. No character elaborates on the topic further, as the game swiftly moves on to different mysteries. "Lab Rat" never brings up any specific core during Doug's flashbacks. Nothing in Portal 1 is recontextualized by this knowledge. And, of course, no new supplementary material on the topic was released since.

So far all that's left to do is to touch the scorched ground and wonder what the absolute hell went down between them.
