POLYBIUS!TURBO

hey guys so I finally actually made an au instead of just saying I was gonna make one

i drew this on my phone with my finger on ibis paint x cuz it's 1am in the morning and I'm too eepy to go to my computer but I had to draw this idea I had

tomorrow morning I'll probably make a better ref sheet 🙏

more lore below 👇

After the roadblasters incident, turbo decided that attempting to take over a racing game would be too obvious. He needed the eyes back on him, but didn't want to risk unplugging anymore games. Instead of sugar rush, he decided to take over Polybius. by the mid to late 80s, Polybius was already supposed to be phased out. the government was furious that one cabinet had managed to stay in circulation for so long. once they got to Litwak's Arcade, they discovered an anomaly in the program that was like no other cabinet of Polybius: a being inside the machine. a boss level that was in no other copy of the game. it was seemingly alive, sentient, mocking those who lost. it adored the attention it got, lines upon lines of children rushing to play, unable to take their eyes off the screen. brutal fights broke out over the game. turbo thought this was brilliant. he didn't know (at first) or care about the games psychoactive and addictive properties, the fact this game was all an MK Ultra experiment. all he cared about was the attention he was getting. The more he lived within the game, the more... nefarious effects of Polybius become intertwined within his code. No one even questioned why or how this character was in the game all of a sudden. Barely anyone even got far enough in Polybius before he was a part of it. eventually, the 90s roll around, and the government came to Litwak's and repossessed the cabinet. now the CIA has this one specific Polybius cabinet in top secret storage. day in and day out they attempt to communicate with the anomaly, which is now festering with hate. the attention was taken from him once again, now living a life constantly under the magnifying glass by these higher beings. and this time he's not going to let any of them get away with it.

These two gifs I made have been circulating somewhere for a little while. I will share them here too

Similar situation with me. I translate video with AI, thinking it would be just reviewing video with a lot of water and minimum information, but then I fall in love. I was need to go somewhere, so all time I was not hpme I was thinking about finish this video. I wasn't remember a lot (just plot and some russian memes), so it's video just open my eyes.

Open tumblr for arts was the best decision. All of people in this fandom so talanted, so much fan content for not so big fan base. I'm just sad I can't see ALL arts, theories and analysis. Can't participate in all events, can't draw art for all AU's and OC. (I have unfinished fanart for au I did a month ago)

I was scared at first rebloging when I logged in tumblr, but the WIR fandom just makes me want to share and kept those amazing works

Also, your artstyle so cool, I can imagine some of it in comic/book

About a week ago a fans of Turbo reposted and translated the 2 hour video of @randomalistic on Bilibili with permit, when the first time i saw the video I was shocked by the length of the video but just watch it for kill times; then it is too late i find myself can't help watch it again and again and looks for the fanworks.

Honestly, it is the best video that I even seen this year! With the humor and funny meme the whole time but didn't lost the depth of discussion for character and plots. I especially love the mv in the end. (i draw some moments that i feel funny hope don't mind, and also sorry for disturb🙏)

And for the character himself i never thought he could be that interesting and attract me, after watching the video i feel much to be regretted that i didn't notice him earlier. It is pretty sad that in Chinese community he is so rare to mention that its only few people know his name (probably because most people who will make fanworks now were children and not allowed with electronic equipment when the movie on show)

that's also why i starting to post thing on Tumblr.

Btw Turbo so fricking hard to draw he is so creepy looking and become the one of most difficult for me to draw in recent years😵

Skimmed through moana 2 with a friend last night and lost our shit over the auto generated captions

HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN

honorable additions

Big Moana 2 Spoilers ahead. Beyond the cut is the Samoan to english translation of maui's 2nd song for moana. (And the context it appears in)

ladies and gents of the moana fandom, thanks to the effort of samoan speaker @yuki685 on youtube, and my buddy @rykierykerman for hooking me up with the text and screenshots

what i'd like to discuss with yall today is not only sharing the translation for this song, but some of the character implication this has for maui, especially when you look at how his OG legends depict him.

LYRICS:

(Maui singing in Samoan):

Aue, aue, le faigata / Aue, aue, how difficult it is

Ua pa'ū fa'anoanoa / Falling into sadness

Aue, aue, fa'ataga ola / Aue, aue, please allow this life to continue

Lenā La'u talosaga / This is my prayer

---

(E manu malo) / May there be blessings

(Opataia Foa'i and Te Vaka singing in Tokelauan)

Tele tele mana e o te vavau (Vavau) / Great, great power of mana

Tau ke tu ke Manumalo / Fight, stand tall and be victorious

Ke Manumalo / Be victorious

---

(Grandma Tala)

Aue, aue, mana e o te vavau / Aue, aue, the power of mana

Tau ke tu ke Manumalo / Fight, stand tall and be victorious

Ke Manumalo / Be victorious

Ke Manumalo / Be victorious

Ke Manumalo / Be victorious

The piece that made me flip my shit when I read it was the confirmation that this song is a PRAYER

when I first heard this song before the movie I assumed it was a funeral rite. a dirge, followed by a choral revival. during the film, when maui and then the ancestors sang it over moana's lifeless body and I had no subtitles to go on, I thought perhaps it was a spell, or maybe a lullaby from Maui's far distant past, then taken up by the ancestors as a comfort to the grieving Maui- then back to the spell theory as Moana awoke to the powerful music and emotion channeled by tala and her crew.

even my first google translate search of the lyrics missed the word prayer, which goes to show that AI translation is no match for native human insight.

Maui's song being a prayer is a friggin big deal.

Maui's stories span the width & breadth of the pacific islands, and each culture arising from those island tells variations on that legend. some emphasize his rebellious side, others his inventiveness, still others his drive, his humor, his ingenuity, his pride. But a common theme in most is that this man, this demigod- he does NOT get along with the majority of his ancestors or the gods. Even when he's not outright malevolent to them, he's tricking them or undermining their effort. He's usually stubbornly self-sufficient, if he gets help from someone divine, its usually because he tricked them into doing it. Maui does not beg, he does not plead. (at least, not with any lasting sincerity). he's a charmer, a schemer.

But here he is, his tattoos stripped away, his hook gone, his beloved Moana growing colder and colder- he's out of tricks. he's out of time, out of power. he's as helpless as the day he was thrown into the ocean to save her. rock bottom, figuratively and literally.

he does the absolute last thing he can, born of pure desperation. pure grief, pure need. He prays.

he prays not expecting an answer. he prays, knowing that the gods and all his family would relish the chance to tell him to fuck all the way off. he prays, even if to no one but moana's lifeless body.

i often joke that maui is bad at feelings. but really what i mean is that maui is bad at regulating his feelings. he represses them as hard as he can, denies them, wraps them in humor and when that fails he straight up tries to out run them. its a maladaptive coping skill he's had to pick up over his immortal 3000 year lifespan because otherwise, he'd be wallowing in endless grief as friend after friend either dies or lives long enough to become his antagonist. boy has some serious trauma built up and no good examples of how to handle it in a healthy way.

until moana.

moana provided an example of how to be vulnerable without being weak. a safe space where he could share his heart and be met with understanding and validation. we see him mature, even fractionally, and in the sequel he's not nearly so closed off. he worries openly about moana, admits his concerns about the mission, even returns moana's favor from the first film and gives her a sincere, supportive pep talk.

but all his progress in processing his emotions seems to backfire in this moment. the first time he'd opened his heart to a fragile mortal friend and here he is, exactly as he feared, devastated at her passing. He had invested real time and care and attachment into this human and he's utterly shattered that its all coming to an end so fast. that he'll never experience her voice or her smile or her wit ever again.

she's precious to him. he cant bear to lose her. his sadness in more crushing than the ocean he's surrounded by, denser than the rock he kneels upon. even if he got his powers back, even if he pulled up a million islands, if Moana isn't there to land on them...there's no point.

less than 10 minutes ago he was ready to die for her.

3 minutes ago in movie time, maui faced his own mortality. powers stripped bare, down to his last ounce of strength, frying in impossible lightning heat, he kept struggling. the first look he gives moana is fear, raw and unfamiliar on that handsome face. but in this penultimate moment, his eyes meet moana's. his grimace gentles, eyebrows lift, gaze softens into a regretful, heart melting smile. he finds small comfort in seeing moana for one last time, seeing her unhurt, hearing her call his name. the rope slips from his grip, and somewhere in the milliseconds between lightning flashes, he relaxes, relief skitters across his features. perhaps he thinks "ahh, at least she's ok." "at least she'll outlive me". perhaps he has a moment of acceptance for his fate, knowing she's proud of him, knowing he did his very best. maybe he thinks ,"this way ill be sure to meet her again, in the afterlife. its for the best."

or maybe, just maybe, he thinks

"see you out there, moana."

but now, 3 minutes later, its once again the worst case scenario. any relief he had in that last smile at her is obliterated in the wake of his grief. its once again the worst case scenario. he's not thinking now of the curse being broken or his hook or his tattoos. a world that she's not in, whether he be human or demigod, is not a world he can stand to exist in. he cant do this without her. he needs her.

so he digs deep inside himself, through the pain or losing her, through his own family trauma and antagonism towards authority, and pride, to beg, on his knees for help from a higher power. its unclear to us if he's intending to pray to the gods or to his own ancestors or both or neither. to anyone who can help. to anyone who will listen.

and its neither of those sources who answer, at least, not as directly as matai vasa or tala do. its moana's kin, her loved ones, (eventually including the ocean), who answer from the great beyond. he looks them in the eyes and they weep with him. they sing power over moana and the impossible happens.

(salacious handholding occurs)

the stars are put back in maui's eyes, the sun back into his sky.

does this mean...

yes.

his tattoos are still cooler than hers.

even when theyre mad at him. (same, little guy, same.)

bruh.

now kiss
