A reminder to anyone wondering:

((You may be asking why asks are turned off and that’s because Wheatley has turned them off after an anon was being mean to him.

The asks will come back eventually though, so don’t worry.))

((So tumblr appears to be malfunctioning at the moment regarding asks, so if any of you has sent Wheatley a birthday wish, he hasn’t received it.))

[the-wheatley-core]

((Just a reminder to everyone: Wheatley doesn’t know anyone’s name except for Jerry who we aren’t even sure is actually named Jerry, so just keep that in mind when sending in asks. He won’t know who you’re talking about when you mention Chell or GLaDOS.))

[the-wheatley-core]

((Never thought I’d reach the meme number of playtime, but here we are. To commemorate, here’s a picture of Wheatley “smoking” from jamming the door open with his many clones))

[the-wheatley-core]

I have an OC that I would like to roleplay with Wheatley and I’ve read the rules but I’m unsure how to start things

((Well, If you would like to use the SP timeline, then your OC will need to find some way to be able to contact Wheatley from space.

And if you want to use the SC timeline, then your OC will likely have to get themselves acquainted with @ask-glados first unless they’ve somehow managed to slip past her radar and are sneaking about.

And also there needs to be some place for me to read up the information on your OC in order to get a good picture of how they might fit in in Universe.))

[the-wheatley-core]

((Okay, so apparently there are some muns out there who don’t like others reblogging their headcanons and whatnot? But just to let you all know that isn’t the case with me. I actively encourage you all to reblog and share the knowledge to your peers! ^0^ My headcanons and analyses are deepy rooted in the canon material anyways, so it’ll be a good opportunity for others to gain a better understanding of Wheatley’s character overall and hopefully overcome the stereotype of him being seen as an evil moron by the fans.  So I encourage you all to reblog and even include feedback If you’d like! It’s greatly appreciated! I have no problem with it at all ^-^))
