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. 
Tumblr media
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. 
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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. 
Tumblr media
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.

the reveal in unmortricken that universes outside the central finite curve are just... inventing interdimensional travel all the fucking time is absolutely insane. like we know the central finite curve is just a tower the ricks built to place themselves forever on top, but the sheer number of people who have invented portal travel in other universes is completely mindblowing to me. all the portals are different styles, different colours - are these all different inventors across different collections of dimensions? it's unregulated, it's rick-free, it's only shown for like 30 seconds throughout the episode, and it's not even mentioned. i know we already know this, but rick sanchez really isn't the unique genius he pretends himself to be.

I really hope we someday learn more about Wilbur’s past. All we know is he went into the portal, came out crazy, devoted himself to the lords before killing Duke’s dad for SOME REASON and then fighting Holloway
There are so many gaps!!!
What happened before the portal, what was he like when he was normal in PEIP? Why does he kill Duke’s dad (seriously WHY???) does Duke know he killed his dad??? What happened during the fight, it caused the timelines to split so some crazy magic shit must have happened. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BLACK AND WHITE I NEED TO KNOW!!!! My brainrot for him is actually insane and I need to know everything about him I know Holloway is apparently getting a musical at some point but honestly I want a Wilbur musical just to see the crazy shit that led him to who he is now

So this is an ask that I have been thinking for awhile but, mainly surrounding the ask is in the episode The Last Mable-corn, grunkle Ford uses this machine which bill proofs a person's mind, which also shows someone's dreams/memories/thoughts (it's hard to tell which one with how it was used in the episode), which begs the two questions, what would happen if it were to be used on Goldie (bill) and what dreams/memories/thoughts, would you see. Now this is a slightly big ask and is probably hard to think of an answer to on the spot so you could save this for a future chapter if Ford were to make a similar machine or you could just answer one or none at all. Again love the work you do, you inspire me, keep it up 👍
It'd work on Bill just like it would on any other human; and like any other human, it'd just show whatever Bill's currently thinking about (or, if he's asleep, what Bill's dreaming about).
Sorry it's probably a simpler answer than you were expecting, but unfortunately the answer really is that simple. It's whatever's on Bill's mind. And what's on his mind is gonna be dependent on whatever the hell he's thinking about when it's slapped on his head. There's probably a "I remember when this room was filled with my face :(" and a "when the heck did fordsy build this machine?" mixed in with the other thoughts, but otherwise Bill's thoughts would be dependent on the context, just like anyone else's would.
Anyway that thing is very thoroughly destroyed. If ever they decide they want to encrypt and/or read Bill's mind, it's gonna have to be with a new invention. Currently I don't foresee any situations where they'd want that badly to read Bill's mind anyway. They don't trust anything he says, but their response to this isn't "find a way to figure out the truth," it's "just don't pay attention to anything he says."

hell's coming with me
So back in October I did a Portal prompt challenge and it was fun. I wrote a little prompt about an alternate reality where the scientists had managed to get GLaDOS under their thumb and how it actually made everything WORSE, and Chell (and Doug) trying to break through to her about how she was being used. Here is that, as a proper fic - at least, here's the first chapter of it so far!
I'm very excited to post this, and I hope that it's enjoyable!

I think Ford would be an avatar of the Hunt.
Yeah, early on he would fit the Eye pretty well, and maybe post-betrayal/pre-portal an argument could be made for the Spiral, but he has that absolute drive and determination that gives off massive Hunt vibes for me.
Stanford Pines hunting recognition. Hunting popularity, success, fame. Hunting knowledge. Hunting food and water and shelter in the multiverse. Hunting the pieces for a god-killing weapon. Hunting Bill.
His hunts may not all be conventional, but he's still very much hunting.

Platonic The Spot and reader fic where he tried really hard to mug you but he was so bad at it you actually offered to just buy him food or something and it’s basically him just using you as a therapist while being a lameo freeloader.
