Post Blue Sky Wheatley Headcanons

(For future writings.... if i ever get around to it.)

Thought I'd post for those who are interested.

Because of lack of human contact, he always twitches or jerks whenever someone touches him. However, he loves physical assurance and contact and always recovers from it.

Loves to cuddle or hug Chell.

Always initiates the hug, unwanted by recipient or not.

Has discovered the sight of blood makes him squeamish, especially his own, but not as bad as heights.

Never goes outside on a rainy day if he can help it, too much water.

Cold water? Forget it.

Because he is skinny as a rail, is always freezing. Hugs Chell a lot because she is like a living furnace.

Wears sweaters even in summer due to always being bloody freezing.

Wears business casual as his everyday attire, lots of sweaters though. The only things that really fit him without being too short in the arms or too loose. Vests for more formal occasions.

Sweater vests. End of discussion.

Has to wear velcro tennis shoes for a while due to being VERY bad at tying knots due to lack of experience at hands. Slip ons work too. Maybe gets tied shoes a couple of years down the road.

Endlessly fascinated with food. Eats a lot of bread and anything Chell makes regardless of how good it is. (Which 99% of the time is magnificent.)

Constantly has a fear of fitting in among Eaden residents for quite a while, but if he made more friends that might pass...

Ends up on Doc Victoria's table more than he would like. He is a walking accident. Always covered in bandages. She honestly doesn't mind. He doesn't know it, but she's a loner, but considers him one of her only friends.

Doc Vic is very stoic, even more than Chell, but seems to get a bit more open when Wheatley is around.

Wheatley is the only person who can make Victoria laugh. Everyone who sees him do this act as if he just gave a blind man sight after having his eyes pecked out.

Once Wheatley learns her name, he stops calling her "Dr. Eyebrows". Unfortunately for Victoria, EVERYONE ELSE starts calling her that. Especially Garret.

Wheatley is the only person who has accidentally made Victoria self-concious.

Speaking of impromptu nicknames, any nickname Wheatley calls someone will eventually be adopted by everyone else. He usually does this impulsively and doesn't even remember giving them this name. He'll hear someone call Garret "Cleverclogs" and ask who thought of that and reacts with bewilderment when told it was him.

He has this weird delusion thst being smart means you are happy and successful, probably brought on by limited interaction with scientists (and his own crippling anxiety)

Has mild anxiety that can lead to full-on panic attacks if he gets too lost to his fear.

Being exiled in space has made him a bit more self-aware, but learning the truth about his function and how he was programmed (rerouter) and what he had done have caused Wheatley to become more reflective in serious moments.

Is prone to hiding any crippling self- doubt or loathing so as to save face, but crumples like dry leaves and spills everything if prodded enough (especially Chell).

.....if he had friends who respected him, I honestly believe he would become extremely loyal. He's desperate for recognition and validation by peers and any kind action by someone means the world to him after the treatment he recieved in Aperture.

He may not be fearless, or the smartest (lol), or the strongest, or the quickest, or the most collected mental-wise. But he probably has the most genuine heart. Certainly the bravest, given his fear. But he faced Her and won, id call that brave.

He always HAS to try. Even if he KNOWS he's going to fail. He HAS to try. And even with all his failures, even with all the times he's run away, he ALWAYS comes back and tries again. In some way, he's almost as determined as she is (almost, no one is as determined as Chell).

He genuinely loves to help people.

He can empathize with most people because he's had a VERY eventful life.

Anxiety, self-loathing, guilt, depression, loneliness, paranoia, betrayal, abuse, worthlessness, etc... and a lot more.

His friends tend to open up to Wheatley more than other people. He comes off as naturally trustworthy (which he's gotten better at, being trustworthy i mean) and empathetic (which he is).

Wheatley loves to learn. The only problem is he has trouble differentiating if the knowledge he learns is USEFUL.

He learns a random set of skills with varying degrees of success.

Ex) -baking from Chell- not without supervision

-gets Victoria to teach him how to dress minor wounds (gets a lot of practice lol), she takes it a step further and teaches him how to do CPR (not very good at first) and how to splint (takes a long time, but he gets it)

He can't be taught other than one-on-one because of his focus issues. Anyone who teaches him has to have both patience and sole attention on him.

He often sucks at most things at first, but give him enough time and he'll become decent at it.

Wheatley's best skill is talking. He's had a lot of practice talking to himself in the facility. Also has a natural knack for it. Makes him an awesome radio DJ, which makes him somewhat locally famous. Some people give him the moniker, the "Voice of Eaden". Most people don't even know where Eaden is.

Aaron is somewhat always watching out for Wheatley, the unofficial mark of Eaden residency.

Garret loves to see what faces Wheatley makes when he's flustered.

Wheatley has the most expressive face.

He's also a total drama king.

Wheatley will only actively try to scorn or be mean to you if he feels you've belittled or threatened him in some way, rational or otherwise.

Wishes he didn't have to keep his real nature and past secret, but knows the consequences of Aperture knowledge falling into bad hands (plus Chell had a really long talk with him about not it being safer for everyone as a whole). Also people would think he was loony cause he's human now.

If someone DID find out about him and kept it to themselves, it would be a huge relief because now he doesnt have to worry about blowing it in front of this person anymore.

He sucks at lying, so he doesn't do it often. But is surprisingly good at keeping secrets, usually too scatterbrained to think about them anyway.

He's a good singer, but he's really shy about it and only sings to himself when no one is around. The scientists would tell him to shut up when he was a core when doing this. :(

If Wheatley got professional voice training, his voice would sound like BUTTAH. Mostly sings jazz.

Wheatley's favorite genre of music is jazz.
