I think that one of the reasons I find Portal 2 so interesting is the dynamic between GLaDOS, Wheatley, and Chell. And more specifically, their animosity towards each other.

Wheatley and GLaDOS constantly hurl insults at Chell like they’re bombs for throwing at you. Chell and GLaDOS go out of their way to break Wheatley’s monitors and mock him. Chell and Wheatley talk shit about GLaDOS just to spite her. Wheatley and GLaDOS are constantly arguing. They all seem to think that whoever’s on the opposite side at the moment is their main enemy, their nemesis, the person they have to take down. And once they do, everything will be okay.

But they have the wrong person to be fighting. They’re forgetting why they’re all here in the first place. Who, or WHAT put them there.

Aperture itself.

GLaDOS was murdered, stuffed into a robot without her consent, and then had scientists poke and prod at her, orbs attached that would talk in her head and torture her.

Wheatley had to deal with the miserable existence of being basically the stupid core, something he never asked for or was able to get away from, and judging by some of his lines, was treated horribly for it.

Chell was imprisoned here against her will, forced to go through hell and back and deal with problems out of her control that had been brewing for years just to see the sunlight again.

Everything can be traced back to Aperture. That’s where it all starts. They’ve all been wronged.

And yet they all choose to go after the others that are equally as trapped as they are. They bottle up the pain they’ve had to endure, and antagonize and fight each other as if all their problems will be fixed as soon as they’re dead.

But they’re not.

Because they’ve all been fighting inside of the true enemy the entire time.

And I think that makes Portal 2 incredibly tragic to watch.

Portal Drawtober 2023: Day 10

Passage of Time

Old Aperture used to be teeming with life and activity. They started from the bottom and built up, but with the further up they built, the less they needed the bottom. Till it was nothing more than an echo.

Alright, here we fucking go 🗣 starting off with the Wheatley backstory infodump. I'll do each core individually first and then explain all their relationships at Aperture after 😁

Growing up, Wheatley lived in a SMALLL small town somewhere smackdab in the depths of England. The population was only a few hundred, so he only knew a handful of people his whole life. There weren't too many options of who to choose to know and be friends with. His home life was pretty unremarkable--Christain parents who weren't too religious, went to church on Sundays. Put Wheatley through Sunday school. He got decent grades, parents loved him well enough, if just a tad neglectful, but nothing awful.

He was freakishly tall from the start, very lanky and scrawny. Knowing so few people and not having a lot of friends, he ended up fairly sheltered. He never knew a lot of conflict or struggle, though people did pick on him for being stranger than most.

As he got older, he tried reallyyy hard to follow trends and be stylish. He wanted to date, but it was hard when there were so few girls in town and everyone knew each other basically since birth. With his upbringing, he was a bit of an asshole 😭 pretty misogynistic and sexist and entitled. Overall he was just a pretty big loser, and not a very nice one at that.

Finally near the end of highschool, he became friends a girl named Millie. She had a really hard time making friends too, and ended up getting close with Wheatley more so just due to lack of options and loneliness. Wheatley wasn't interested in her romantically because he insisted he could do better, and joked about this pretty vocally to her--things about her boring personality and her weight. Despite his attitude, they stayed best friends even after school ended.

Despite Wheatley being very insistent he would never get with her, as they matured, she got in a lot better shape and became a lot more social. She blended in better with crowds and made a lot more friends, looking and feeling a lot happier. Wheatley, despite trying 5 times as hard, could never do the same. He stayed with her still as his only real friend, though she didn't invite him out much because he made people uncomfortable.

Somewhere along the way in Wheatley's mind, he convinced himself that him and Millie were actually already sort of dating and acted as such even though she clearly wasn't interested and they never properly talked about it.

Then one day, she finally landed herself an actual boyfriend and Wheatley BLEWWW up at her. They got in a huge fight and Wheatley called her all sorts of horrible things, told her how she'd led him on for years and dragged him along and this was all her fault and she was an awful person--and Wheatley wholeheartedly believed every word.

It was after then that he decided he needed to start completely over if he wanted to get anywhere. He was going to move to ✨America✨, land of dreams and American Women. And American women LOVED a man with an accent.

It wasn't a year later that he left everyone he knew behind and fled the country. He could hardly hold a job back home, only managing to stay at where he was because his mother knew the manager. In America, it was no easy feat. He was constantly getting fired for being generally unlikable and being bad at most things. On top of that, it was even harder to blend in with people over here. No one wanted to talk to him for more than a few days, and he was more lonely than ever. Unfortunately, he didn't have the money to fly back home even if he wanted to. He was stranded here and forced to make the best of it.

Eventually, he decided that it was kind of over. He was just about to hit 40 and was VERY well still a virgin and hadn't even ever properly dated anyone, if anything was going to happen it would've happened already. Not to mention he couldn't even land a decent friend. Trying so hard to fit in was getting exhausting. He needed to just buckle down and get a job and swear off women for the rest of his life if he wanted to get anywhere. Ultimate incel grindset arc 😑😑

That's when he landed his job at Aperture. It was nearly impossible to get fired from and had more than enough hours. He started dressing like himself, stopped shaving, stopped trying so hard to find anyone to bring into his life. Though deep down, he still has a deep, carnal desire to be liked and known by someone.
