GLaDOS and Wheatley screaming at each other is Such a Scene. Like. Wheatley is hurt and upset that all he’s been created to be is a “moron” and he desperately wants to be seen as more and GLaDOS is hurt and upset because the scientists attached these things onto her that hurt, that slowed down her processing, that made her thoughts go out of control and she wants them gone.
“I…am not…A MORON!”
“YES YOU ARE! YOU’RE THE MORON THEY BUILT TO MAKE ME AN IDIOT!”
“WELL WHAT ABOUT NOW?”
Wheatley’s and GLaDOS’s stories parallel each other in a very interesting way. Both were dehumanized and treated badly, but GLaDOS was forced into being the Entire Facility and was a person stuffed into something she was never meant to be, that she never wanted, while Wheatley was created for one purpose and one purpose only, which was to keep GLaDOS under control. Attaching him onto her probably felt like a method of torture to her. But he didn’t want to be that! He didn’t have a say either! And the way that he combats that is by seizing power. His triumph is GLaDOS’s prison.
GLaDOS was given too much to handle and then punished for it while Wheatley was never regarded as anything beyond a moron and had no opportunity to prove otherwise.

You know that feeling, when you’re listening to someone tell a story, and you can just feel in your gut that what actually happened is SO much darker than how they’re relaying it? And they’ve put a ton of effort in, right, to sand the edges down. They’ve gone over it a hundred times, beating all the wrinkles out, practicing like you’d practice a presentation or a stand-up routine. By the time they tell you the story, it’s perfect. You can’t help but be charmed by it. Can’t help but laugh at all the little silly bits. Can’t help but see it the way they want you to, so you don’t ask questions, you don’t dig in to the open wound just behind the plaster, you don’t let the certainty that it was Bad, Actually sweep you away. It’s just a fun anecdote now. Smile with them. Laugh with them. They’re here now, so it’s fine, right? Right?
I get the feeling that’s just Simone’s entire marriage to Taissa, and I feel so fucking bad for them both.

Not doing great with chest dysphoria atm.
I have long since given up any real idea of any kind of physical transition because I’m nonbinary and they rarely deal well with that, and honestly I’ve got so medical trauma from years of disability, not being believed and getting gaslighting every time I ask for any kind of help, plus I’m autistic, plus I’ve got hEDS so slow healing, plus my folks would undoubtedly not deal great with it, that dealing with the crumbling, shitty UK trans healthcare system would be so fucking much more than I could handle.
And yet, if I could just take these fucking flesh beach balls *off* it would be so nice not to deal with the days where I see these things on me and feel them stuck to my chest so I can never lie comfortably on my front - or most ways, tbh - and just want to scratch my skin off.

My mam just called to let me know she’s landed from her flight and said “what do you mean by your text?”
The way every horny thought, every sexual text post, every smutty fan fic, every Twitter porn link, every pornhub video I’ve ever seen has just flashed through my mind I’m QUAKINGGGGGG
