Summary: After the events of Portal 2, GLaDOS brings Wheatley out of space to keep her company. Through trial and error and revelations, their friendship grows into an undeniable connection that they just might be able to call love. No androids or humanisations.

Author: @canadian-riddler

Note from submitter: very long (132 chapters), marked as unfinished, seems to no longer be updating.

Here's to loving Android Wheatley's that look unique! And here's to the Android Wheatley's who are just the usual blonde twinks! Both are great!!!

Anyways, this is just some art dedicated to @a-genuine-moron 's "Love as a Construct" dating sim that I accidentally reminded them off. Whoopsie. Hope this helps keep you going at least?

Also, I took my best guess about some details with the updated design, so hope it's at least close enough to what you meant. (I was going nuts trying to figure out what you meant by "he has two toned hair now for example" is it an ambre??? Blocks or highlights of color??? Half and half??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M SHAKING YOU /lh)

Alright, just a small doodle under the cut otherwise just for them and das it. Hope y'all have a Happy New Year if I don't post before then!

Bonus bc your doodle was silly:

being aromantic is like. hey btw you're going to live a life that is the culmination of most of society's worst nightmares. sorry lol ✌️ but then you turn around and take a really good hard look at it and it turns out that living in that nightmare is fucking awesome and you get to wake up every day and take that fear that other people have and laugh and hold it close until it's a great joy for you instead. and being happy is a radical act that you define instead of someone else. and you're sexy as fuck that's just a fact of life i don't make the rules on that one

it's all subjective

how the hell does a person manage holding up a fic with 600k words and 120 chapters for 10 fucking years and how are they STILL going with full fucking quality

you ever think about how in portal 2, and only in the single player campaign, the light bridges will start playing cara mia addio if the player lingers long enough. how the companion cube in chamber 7, when crouching, plays a remix of cara mia titled love as a construct? how the facility herself is brimming with a repressed, subconscious love she refuses to acknowledge and accept until the very end, when saying goodbye? do you ever think about it.

A bunch of Zonai, since I’m still so mad that Rauru and Mineru were the last of their species :(

this year my challenge for everyone is to unlearn the association between love and morality. love is not something that is inherently morally good, and the absence of love is not something that is inherently bad. sex without love isn't morally bankrupt, it's just an action. people without love aren't less kind or less good, they're just people. when we can get past this false (and often unnoticed) dichotomy of good love/evil lovelessness then i think we are going to be able to take leaps and bounds in sex positivity, aro advocacy, certain discussions of mental health...
