So when thinking about what sidekicks I liked in media for this prompt, I was reminded of my all-time favourite game buddies - Wheatley.
Yes, he's an idiot. Yes, he got us into bigger pickles. And yes, he betrayed the player after being plugged into the morally questionable Aperture 'Science' testing machine.
But look, the way portal 2 pitched it to me was that me ‘n Wheatley were gonna go on adventures and have us some shenanigans. He'll probably get us into more trouble than get us out of it, but I was fully down for that.
For me, I saw the little idiot ball and was like:
*points* Fren. C:
So when he got crushed by Glados I was like:
WHEATLEY! NO! ;O;
When he came back, I was like:
WHEATLEY! BEST FEND. C8
When he betrayed us I was like :
WHEATLEY. NO. >:O
and when he finally vanished into space, I was like:
wheatley... :C
We'll likely never see his likeness again in future instalments of portal games, but I do hold a small hope he'll get out of his orbit around the moon, say sorry, be friends again and find us more trouble adventures. I love me some Glados potato buddy time, but Wheatley held more of that 'sidekick' Energy.
I AM OWED SHENANIGANS.
Oh, and who else tried to desperately catch Wheatley with their face? I mean, if the game refuses to give me an option to catch him with my hands/portal gun, I'm gonna use my face. >:C
I haven’t jumped on procreate in almost a year so I made this acc to inspire me to start again! Here’s a little sketch I did to get back into the swing of things
Last Christmas @scifer got me a discworld t-shirt, and it came in this awesome envelope with fake stamps from the discworld on it. I knew I had to do a drawing on the envelope at some point, and here it is! Have the god Om being his grumpy self.
Here's my art vs artist 2023. Still not confident putting my selfie on tumblr, so here's the artistic version of myself.
Above all else, I'm glad I decided to start my #hobbyjournal tag here to keep track of everything, even the smallest progress sometimes. I painted a bit this year, started fooling around with digital sculpting, sewing and making a dollhouse. Went back to some illustrations, went back to reading (!!!!) also.
