warnings n stuff:

‼️ i am autistic!! if you feel so inclined, please use tone indicators whenever possible :3 i can usually pick up jokes, sarcasm, etc. but some tones are a little trickier for me.

‼️ i do not post NSFW on my page, nor do i draw it, so this page is relatively safe for minors! this is both personal preference bc i want my page to be safe for everyone, and bc its lowkey weird to look at idk 😭

‼️ i am a full time college student so artposting (and posting in general tbh) does tend to get really dry during semesters

ASK ME ABOUT MY REDBUBBLE SHOP!!!!!

ok i think thats all for now bye :3

[lgorstheme]

genuinely passing away right now i NEED to talk about smerch. but all the smerchette blogs aren't super active or are straight up dead and all of my 2 mutuals who appreciate him i am too shy to dm or message. and i also don't want to clog up main talking abt him. so i'm just sitting here fcking vibrating with energy and nowhere to put it i've been awake for nearly 24 hours

[froggyplanet4269]

idk what smerchettes are and at this point im too afraid to ask

[hansolosyou]

I sketched these in class :3

Feeding the few extras (or just Steve) fans left in this little corner… here ygs go… some scraps before I decide to make fleshed out fully colored Steve art some day

[imagined-riches]

he seriously looks like an alien jJesus Fucking Christ . why does nobody talk about this. karl mentioned this shit TWENTY YEARS AGO but from then on its been entirely overlooked. i legitimately believe he was put on earth to study human activity & report it back to his homeland

[yourfaveisasmerchette]

[smerchysmerchness]

Just some brooding Steve for you

[askstephenm3rchant]

‘Ello again, luvs!

I haven’t been getting very many questions lately, but I do want to show off this lovely bit of artwork my admin made. Please go follow her! She’s very talented despite her constant denial. Now, where was I... Oh, yes, yes, yes. If you’d like to ask me anything, yes really anything at all, please don’t hesitate to do so! You can ask me anything, from what my newest project is to why the sky is blue. You ask, I’ll answer. As long as it’s safe for work, of course.

I hope to answer lots and lots of questions soon!

Your friend, Stephen

since I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately and I feel inspired by that old school tumblr lore post here’s some 2011/2012 portal fandom tumblr lore that is now somewhat incomprehensible and forgotten in this day and age:

Wheatley “hug line” (everybody drew a human Wheatley posing to hug the viewer)

wheatley fanart exchange

smerch giraffes (draw Stephen merchant as a giraffe)

”smerchettes” (not going to explain this one)

the entire LJ kink meme/the fact that it’s basically how portal developed a huge online fandom in the first place

”giant (human) Wheatley” comics with various fandom member’s “Wheatley designs”

Blanket Wheatley meme (draw Wheatley designs cuddling blankets)

Onceler fandom stealing the human Wheatley fanbase

”Wheatleycest” was extremely popular and very much predated Oncest and how it partially came about due to the popularity of askblogs being shipped together

the fact that all of this lore is Wheatley-based because that was the climate back then on tumblr and there wasn’t much for the other characters because human Wheatley dominated the tumblr fanbase so you saw it whether you liked human Wheatley or not

that time they named a star after Wheatley and it was a big deal for some reason

Fruital (draw the portal characters as fruits)

the mantis men fanfiction

the fanfic exchange

Blue Sky craze

people self-shipping with Stephen Merchant (no comment)

awkward audio clips of Wheatley’s infamous chapter 8 dialogue with edited in cheesy porno music

the attempted revival of the portal kink meme on dreamwidth

the Wheatley Wars

“lost to time” my ass I bear witnessed this and if I have to remember it bc it’s permanently burned into my psyche so do you 2011/2012 tumblr was a wild ride my friends
