Vanellope VS. Turbo: A Mini Analysis!

There are a million reasons why Turbo’s reveal in Disney’s Wreck-it Ralph is such an iconic and memorable scene. A scene that I and many others have replayed ever since 2012 and its impact has never left our minds. It solidified King Candy/Turbo as one of Disney's top villains ever created, surprising and shocking viewers with a plot twist that Disney hasn’t been able to overthrow with their other movies before they abandoned villains until King Magnifico but he sucks so. He WISHES he was as charismatic as King Candy plz-

But this analysis isn’t just about King Candy/Turbo, it’s also about Vanellope Von Schweetz. She’s the most important ingredient to making this scene work and play out the way it does and ultimately why it’s so fucking cathartic. ( More so than Ralph’s fight against Cy-Bug Turbo in my opinion) After watching how it was originally story boarded, the crew behind WiR perfected this scene with a specific detail that they changed. In the early storyboard, Vanellope causes King Candy’s vehicle to crash, causing him to glitch and transform into Turbo in front of the cameras. While I love love love the extended race between Vanellope and King Candy and sort of wished it could have been longer in the actual film, I am content that they didn’t go with the direction. In the movie, King Candy is revealed after trying to beat/kill Vanellope with his horn rod/pole thingy from his kart, she grabs it and glitches due to stress/adrenaline/her emotions, her blue glitch traveling through the cane and making contact with King Candy, finally putting down the facade he had on for 15 years and revealing him as Turbo to the characters in the film and the audience. It’s such a small detail, it only happens in a second, but it’s all it took for the start of his downfall and his eventual demise. 

And this is why it brings me catharsis every time I watch this scene. I could never put it into words before, but it’s beyond satisfying that the end of King Candy’s horrible reign starts with Vanellope and her glitch. The very same glitch that he caused trying to delete her code and remove her place from the game. The glitch that he used as an excuse to turn everyone in Sugar Rush against her. He usurped her throne and tried to ruin her life. Despite this, he still had the audacity to shout ���Get off of MY track!” earlier. It brings his Roadblasters incident back up, it was his choice, trying to steal the thunder of another racing game that just got plugged in because he couldn’t stand the idea of anyone taking his place, only for Turbo Time and Roadblasters to be unplugged. All of this circling back and biting him in the ass. Vanellope was the key all along and he knew it, he feared her despite never really having a conversation with her as far as we know (Vanellope asking Turbo “What the-?! Who are you!?” leads me to believe that if they did converse in the past, it was not in his true form and he was most likely already King Candy. Plus it just goes to show how fast he hijacked Sugar Rush), but you can just tell by how desperate he was to keep her from racing, he didn’t want anyone to take his place ever again. 

So the scene continues and his famous line and breakdown goes as this: “I’m Turbo! The greatest racer ever! And I did not reprogram this world to let YOU and that halitosis riddled warthog TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME!” It’s just so ironic, unfair and hypocritical of him it makes my blood boil! And the way he’s raising his voice, jabbing his finger at her and Vanellope’s trying to shrink away from him as he yells at her face before he tries to murder her I just- So cruel, scary, wicked and disturbing! But Vanellope, this brave WARRIOR, is reminded of her glitch after Turbo calls her for what he believes is the last time. “End of the line, Glitch!” She takes a moment, everything slows down around her as she tries to control her glitch to escape Turbo. She glitches away, missing the wall and It ends up saving her life! I just cannot stress enough how beautiful that is! She used her disability, that everyone thought would simply doom her and the game, and embraced it when she needed it most. Her glitch, while it was suddenly given to her by circumstances she couldn’t control or prevent, she took control back. It’s her beautiful superpower and it’s empowering. After this scene, it’s the “end” of Turbo before he gets nom’d by a Cy-Bug. ( I want to note that he later says “I’m the most powerful VIRUS in the arcade”, part of me wants to believe he said that because clearly Vanellope bested him as the greatest racer ever but I doubt that was their intention lol)

They’re the embodiment of Selfishness vs. Selflessness. While Vanellope had everything taken away from her, she didn’t follow the same path as him. Turbo had everything taken from him, but it was his fault and he only ever thought about himself, never about the destruction he left behind. Hell, all she ever wanted was to be one of the racers, no matter how much they bullied her and ostracized her, she never ended up being evil like him even though it would be a perfect recipe to become a villain, this is also what makes her a mirror to Ralph.  (Remember in that one deleted scene where she said she wanted to break the racers’ legs but come on can you blame her!?!?! She was so real for saying that.) VANELLOPE IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER EVER AAAA. 

Before I ramble any further, I will forever love the choices that the writers made for the climax and it just ends up being an absolutely perfect and brilliant scene and I will continue to rewatch for the millionth time.

Merriment

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas everyone! Here's a short, light-hearted little fic for you all. Inspired by this conversation I had a few years ago. Credit to @guilty-as-battery-charged and @kittysfigurines24 for their parts!

Felix prepared to put the finishing touches on Niceland Apartments for Christmas, now that Mr. Litwak had left for vacation. From his perch on the eastern fire escape, he wrapped and stapled a cord of garland around the white brick ledge separating the eighth and ninth floors. Nicelanders milled about below him, busying themselves with stringing lights on the trees and bushes. The golden beams of the setting sun outside the doors of the arcade lit up the strands of tinsel lining the windows, and the handyman stopped to admire everyone's work.

He had left Ralph and Vanellope in charge of the lights on the front of the building, since Ralph could easily navigate the vertical space without tools and had never had a chance to decorate before. His colleague presently climbed up and down the building, stringing lights as he went, while his friend glitched between rooms to secure the lights to hooks installed along the windowsills.

"Almost done?"

Felix jumped in surprise, looking up to see Tamora descending from the tenth floor's fire escape. She leaned in and gave him a peck on the lips.

"I was just takin' in the second-prettiest sight around here before it suddenly got upstaged." He smiled and placed a hand on her leg.

She grinned back and affectionately pinched her husband's reddened cheek.

"With a honeyglow like that, we're not gonna need all those lights."

"Well they're just about ready, and I've got the ledges all gussied up!" The handyman tied a red-and-gold bow to the corner of the garland setup. "How're the connections?"

"All the bulbs are working," she replied with a thumbs-up. "I've got 'em wired up on three separate lines so the whole display doesn't have to go down if one strand burns out."

"Aww thanks ladylove, that'll save me a lotta headache later in case anything takes a turn."

They glanced over to where Ralph and Vanellope were finishing up, the wrecker and racer giggling at something as they threaded the ends of the wires together.

"With those two, you can bet on it." Tamora leaned against the brick siding. "Best outcome's that the building's still standing."

"I'm sure they'll do just fine, Tammy. Everyone’s—"

"Hey Felix! All done!" Vanellope shouted from around the corner.

"That's great, Vanny! You two go ahead down, Tammy and I'll be right with you!"

Tamora spent the entire descent restraining a chuckle. Felix was just delighted that she felt the holiday spirit. A crowd of Nicelanders gathered around the front of the building as the four of them brought out the cables.

"Ready?" Ralph shook out the cord one last time to remove any coils.

"You do the honors, brother!"

"Alright, drumroll please!" 

—

Vanellope leapt up with a devious smile and pounded her hands against Ralph's head as the wrecker pushed the two plugs together.

For an instant, the crowd oohed and aahed at the lights, before dissolving into muttering and horrified gasps when they noticed the particular shapes.

The word "PEE" (spelled out in appropriately yellow lights) shone proudly across the entire ninth and tenth floors of the apartment building, which otherwise stood resplendent in festive bows and ribbons. From somewhere in the crowd emerged a scandalized noise—between a yelp and a bark—that could only belong to Gene, but it was quickly drowned out by two distinct peals of laughter from the pair of best friends rolling on the ground.

"Ralph! Vanellope!" Felix turned to them in a panic. He hopped up and waved his arms, knowing full well it was futile in hiding the spectacle from anyone who could see their screen across the arcade.

"H-hey relax Felix, we—hah!—still put up the regular ones behind it," Ralph sputtered out. "Just gotta take down the yellow string and plug in the one underneath instead."

"Yeah c'mon, we planned ah-ahead!" Vanellope chimed in, struggling to stand up and popping a candy cane back in her mouth.

Felix sighed and put his face in his hands. He should've known that neither of them would've dissuaded whichever one came up with the idea. How they carried out the plan in plain sight was a mystery to him; it was almost impressive. He couldn't help but have a giggle at it himself.

"Oh-heh-okay, okay you two, just please put those back to normal later tonight. At least the ground display is still all—Tammy Jean!"

The sergeant, who had crept off in the confusion, snickered as she set the last lovingly-crafted wooden letter in place on the building's side lawn facing East Niceland. The display originally read "MERRY CHRISTMAS" in whimsical block lettering carved by Felix himself; her tampering had rearranged it to cheerfully announce "ASS TIME".

After taking a moment to admire her handiwork, she strolled over to where the rest of the group stood and fist-bumped an uproariously-laughing Ralph and Vanellope, with a bewildered Q*bert looking on. 

"Nice one, Sarge!"

"Sugarplum! You were in on this too?!" Felix, in disbelief, attempted in vain to cover Vanellope's eyes.

"I needed a diversion and they needed a parallel circuit," she shrugged.

He stood in silence for a minute, looking from the lawn display to the lights, to the concerned Nicelanders, to his family gathered around him. The diminutive man took a deep breath and let out the tension in his posture.

"All right fellas, I'll admit when I'm beat. You got me. And..." He risked a glance at the cutesy wooden letters again and a snort escaped him. Well, it made his gal smile, and it wasn't insulting anyone. "...that is kinda funny—"

"Don’t worry, we won't tell the 'stache over there," Vanellope nudged her head in Gene's direction and hopped onto Ralph's shoulder. The mayor still grumbled to himself about the lights, martini in hand, and luckily hadn't noticed much else.

"I'm sure he'll have something to say to me about it anyways. He always does..." Felix sheepishly adjusted the back of his hat as the pair headed off to take down their extra string of lights.

"Hey, if it makes you feel any better, consider that an invitation for later," Tamora grinned and pointed to her rearranged display before heading back to fix it.

Felix stood silent for a few seconds, then flushed at the realization.

"A-ah coming—lemme give you a hand with that, Tammy!"

I'd also like to add,, calhoun saying ✨️DAMN✨️

Rough Storyboard for the boss fight with King Candy from Steven Markowski. There are some changes which are not in the movie.

There is some unused dialouge in this presentation as well:

Steven Markowski's website:

[abnomi]

IDK if i was the first to notice this or not but i havent seen anyone talk about this before!! i love going crazy over colors and now is my Chance.

something subtle but notable about Ralph's design is how he has a teal undershirt. (debatably turquoise or green or something, but it is teal in this post..sorry green/turquoise truthers...)

i wondered for a bit why exactly that was a feature of his design, as it stood out to me for some reason; its a contrasting color to red, his main color, of course, so i brushed it off as an accent.

upon further inspection, however, what does that mean with the knowledge we have of him wanting to be good? or about who he shares a connection with?

green/blue is generally known to symbolize goodness, as its the opposing color to red, a color that can represent evil or danger depending on its context.

as you can see here, this crude caricature of Ralph is lacking that extra pop of color; the nicelanders dont see the good inside of him, only seeing the external deep red hues :-(

it doesnt end there, though. which character in this film is represented by a certain teal color?

someone Ralph carries close to his heart, someone who helped define his personhood and who he is internally. that spunky racer girl who relied on him just as he relied on her. not just a glitch, but Vanellope.

Vanellope represents someone who is able to accept herself and grow stronger because of it, and in exploring her own identity, Ralph took a journey of his own alongside her. she's a figure of love, passion, and resistance. taking this into account, her main color symbolizes the same.

we can also see bits of red in Vanellope's design!

interestingly, the main spots we see it in are her licorice hair tie, the stitches and strings of her hoodie, and the bottom of her shoes.

now i could be overanalyzing this a bit, but each of these features have something in common: they're all used for support. the tie supports her hair, the threads keep her hoodie together, and her shoes let her run around and be a kid safely. yeah, she made all of those by herself on her own terms, but Ralph supports her too, right? shes the heart and hes the practicality.

not to mention the MEDALS OHHH the medals. beware ⚠️🚨 im going to overanalyze this like crazy ok let me be neurodivergent about this

all three of these medals have differences that could mean a variety of different things. I'll break each one down individually:

Vanellope's gift

handmade with love, the medal itself is teal (if we ignore the brown underside). as stated before, teal implies love and resistance. this is also quite obvious due to the gift being heart-shaped.

relating to that last point, notice how he wears it close to his chest? it's practically a second heart to him! what else is close to his chest? TEAL UNDERSHIRT. wow!!! so that love was there with him the whole time!

the ribbon itself is pink, not blue or red like traditional medals. this is less significant, i will admit, but i find it nice how its so simple yet defies what a "real" medal is meant to look like, ESPECIALLY in relation to Ralph's expectations as to what a medal should be.

Hero's medal

It's a reflective gold, something that hypnotized Ralph immediately upon being greeted with it (kind of like a certain racer heeheheehoo)... this is all pretty obvious; gold is for winners, and supposedly, only heros can be winners.

something a little less obvious, though, is the blue of his ribbon. so, why is it blue, specifically? now, this isn't teal, this is more of a royal blue. something similar to Felix's palette... a hero. Ralph treats goodness as something attainable, love as transactional. it's not real, it's not genuine. he wears this symbol of heroism without truly EARNING it.

The cake

notice how the ribbon around his neck is red in this imaginary scene? the medal designed for Felix and his wins? his contrasting color? on Ralph, it's almost indistinguishable from his shirt because he isn't supposed to wear it. it wasn't created with him in mind.

ok ok just one more thing. ☝️ Turbo and Ralph parallel with their color schemes.

red as a color carries a dual meaning. on one hand, it can mean passion, love, adrenaline and strength. on the other hand, it could represent evil, malicious intentions, a warning, something dangerous. both Ralph and Turbo share red in their palettes; something to note, Turbo lacks any cool colors.

Ralph is seen as evil when he is truly anything but evil. the red makes him a bigger target considering his position, but this red relates to him internally on a more positive level. its his strength, what keeps his softer core safe. above his teal undershirt.

Turbo is seen as this intense fireball who's just passionate about racing, a little tough guy who just wants to have fun. we all know that this isn't the case. he is dangerous, he is a cautionary tale, a warning and simultaneously a threat.

considering how much as the two parallel each other, its no surprise that they share a color, one that can be interpreted in so many ways. one that ultimately means the reverse for their roles.

[snailstrailz]

Ralph breaks the Internet is one of the worst sequels in recent memory and tbh I can come up with better concepts on the fly

IDC (/lh) if you like this movie, I don't and it's my post.

- Hero's duty is a larger franchise. Give Calhoun an existential crisis.

- explain how consoles work in this universe. Instead of quarter alert, it's boot alert when the player turns the game on.

- have the plot revolve around the characters trying to promote a GoFundMe Mr. Litwak starts for the sugar rush controller.

- FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T MAKE VANELLOPE GO TURBO IT GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING IN THE FIRST MOVIE

- have FELIX break down over hate comments. Focus on him more emotionally in general.

- acknowledge Turbo's existence and how his actions traumatized Vanellope

- have a virus unleashed because they go to a shady website to artificially boost engagement on posts

- generally have the themes revolve mostly around feeling small and insignificant, but realizing how much you matter to people around you is significant enough.

Wreck-it Ralph AU - GUARDIAN

Ok, let me preface this by saying three (3) things:

English is not my first language. I’m currently incapable of writing fanfiction in a language that is not my own, so please forgive me. Feel free to correct me if you see any mistakes!

I welcome all kinds of feedback. Just don’t be rude, please TTwTT

This might get long and messy. I haven’t really planned out anything with this AU and all of this is 100% vibes, but I’m open to suggestions and might expand/change/delete things as I go.

The (quite long) premise of this AU is basically this: Turbo survived the events of the first movie (original I know) because he rewrote so much of himself into Sugar Rush that the game now thinks he’s actually part of it. So he respawns, but gets kicked out of the game and is forced to go back to his previous life as a gameless character in Game Central Station. Only difference, everyone this time KNOWS he’s alive and what he did (because Ralph and/or Vanellope explained the whole situation to the rest of the arcade). So everyone basically treats him like shit (more or less like Vanellope). He’s both shunned and mocked by the other characters, and is forcefully kept away from every game in the arcade, to prevent him from “going Turbo” again.

But the thing is, he’s actually powerless now, and can’t actually do anything dangerous anymore. He lost the cy-bug part of his code (sorry kcb fans but the tall menacing cockroach doesn’t exactly give out the pathetic wet cat vibes that this au demands) because of the reset, and even glitches between his Turbo and King Candy model at times. He’s hit rock bottom and he knows it. And obviously he blames it all on Vanellope and Ralph, and wants to take revenge on them. So, knowing how powerful his cy-bug form was, he decides to wait for a chance to sneak into Hero’s Duty and get himself eaten again by one of the creatures. THEN he will be free to wreak havoc on the arcade and happily destroy every single game in it (starting with Sugar Rush of course). And ABSOLUTELY no one will be able to stop him.

So naturally he gets stopped again. This is where I’d introduce the OC I’m planning for this AU. Her name is Luna and she is the titular protagonist of Luna’s Adventure (might change later), a fantasy adventure that resembles the first Zelda game in terms of graphics and mechanics (also might change later). Luna is essentially an optimistic, but not an hopeless one. Being one of the oldest characters in the arcade (she’s from the 80’ as well), she knew who Turbo was back in the day and is fully aware of the situation, but doesn’t really like the “let’s all laugh at him” mentality. So she mostly ignores/pities him, and makes sure he doesn’t try anything funny with her game. That is, until she spots him as he’s sneaking into Hero’s Duty during opening hours. She immediately takes action and follows him into the game. At first she tries to talk him out of it, but her pleads fall of deaf ears, as Turbo is too fixated on his revenge plan to even listen to her. He feels like he has no other options. He lost everything, again. In the eyes of the other characters, he’s but a pest. Better be feared than respected at this point. This desperate attempt (which seems more like self-destructing behaviour) is his last chance.

The heated back and forth between the two grabs the attention of a solitary cy-bug, which immediately attacks them. Luna quickly avoids the creature and safely gets to a hidden spot, but when she notices that Turbo has no intention of running away, on the contrary, he’s purposefully exposing himself like the snack he is, she jumps on him and saves him from the incoming cy-bug attack. So for a few minutes we have the comical situation of Luna continuously saving Turbo and herself from the cy-bug, and Turbo trying so hard to get eaten but getting saved everytime. Eventually the cy-bug is shot to death by Calhoun herself, who IS SO READY to blast Turbo out of existence with all of her arsenal, but desists when Luna explains the whole situation to her. Still, the sergeant has no intention of keeping the glitchy gremling in her game a second longer, and escorts both of them out. Turbo lashes out at Luna for ruining his ultimate plan, but before she can say anything back, the arcade opens. Luna leaves in a hurry, telling Turbo to behave while she’s away because she’s not done with him. So he’s left in the middle of GCS wandering what the hack she meant by that.

That night, all main characters from each game reunite to discuss what to do with Turbo. Felix, Ralph, Vanellope, Calhoun and Luna are all present. Turns out they have no idea how to handle the situation. They can’t let him run freely around the arcade. What would happen if he tried to infiltrate another game? Unsurprisingly, no one mentions Surge Protector. Someone suggests they could simply kill him. He deserves it, after all. Ralph is neutral, Vanellope is slightly against the idea, but Felix jumps up and firmly says that they are not going to kill anyone. If they did, they wouldn’t be better than him. Then Calhoun makes a proposal. Just like keeping the cy-bugs inside Hero’s Duty is also part of her, well, duty, someone should take on the role of a warden to Turbo, keeping him inside their game and out of everyone else’s. Obviously she can’t do it, neither Vanellope, so another character will have to.

The problem is that no one wants to have anything to do with Turbo. They may mock him during the day, but they really are all just terrified by him. The fear of getting unplugged is so strong that no one is willing to take the risk. No one, but Luna. While everyone argues, she slowly stands up and offers herself to be Turbo’s guardian. The room goes silent for a few seconds, but eventually everyone applauds her courage.

Now comes the hard part. Luna has to find a delicate way to break the news to her colleagues. They obviously have A LOT to say about it, but she is able to convince them. Sort of. Things might not be so simple after all. Even though she agreed to keep an eye on Turbo, she’s not sure how exactly this decision will affect her and her game. Was it really the right thing to do? What if he became really dangerous? She’s actually starting to reconsider, when an idea forms in her coded mind. What if… she were to teach him goodness? What if she offered him a chance, instead of treating him like a criminal? All I have to say is that Turbo will definitely take advantage of the situation and play along, all so that he can finally have his sweet revenge.

That’s all for now. I have a few ideas on how the story could continue, and a few interactions that I absolutely want to incorporate as well. Also I already have a finale in mind, and I hope to eventually get to that (the final scene is the one most clear in my mind right now). So, if you actually managed to read all that, thank you! Now I can go back to being a normal human being again (delusional).

I've been compiling a list of appearances that Big Hero 6 has made in other media. So, here it is, a compilative list. I will update this post when I find more and reblog with the edits!

Ralph Breaks the Internet has a few references, the first being in a room chock full with Baymax sandwiched between Buzz and Tsum Tsums

He has his own booth earlier though which has a screen playing a scene with Honey Lemon by R2D2.

Here he is with Fred

Another is Aunt Cass on a spam poster

Here's a more niche one of Fred's comic (which he based his mascot suit on) having a poster.

In the same vein, during Vanellope's song, there's a toy of that same suit and that's definitely Hiro's helmet next to it.

Ok, finally, a different movie! The Tadashi chip in Avengers: Age of Ultron

A little Baymax in Frozen II

A Snowgie version of Baymax in Frozen Fever

Pig Hero 6 ripoff dvd in Zootopia

Fennick's antenna topper

San Fransokyo itself

Lucky Cat Cafe

One of the Kakamora in Moana

Yokai in the credits of Wish

It was confirmed to be in Strange World by one of the creators and AMC claims it to be this right here though, it's a stretch in my opinion. Baymax's charger? How is anybody going to see that? In the actual movie, it's even more cropped, what's the point? It doesn't even look correct to me.

Bada-la-la-la-la in Miles Morales I like that hidden unknown or blink and you miss it stuff so no Kingdom Hearts or Disney apps, they're too on the nose.

Part 2 is here

I'm fluffing sobbing 😭😭

[samson-the-whale]

So ... I made a self insert fore WIR ....ya

:]

Name: Scrapper/scrap

Gender: male (this mf bisexual)

Age: in his game like 20s to 30s if we go with his game age like 30s or 40s 

Game: Scrapper's scrape up

(its like punch out game mechanics game play wies)

Character interactions:

 Hc he gets pumped up easily and likes to push people in the shoulder lightly but really fast when he needs to let out that excitement (t can be like a charging up a special move in his game) and might accidentally leave a bruise 

When he does it to Ralph it tickles 

When he punches Felix he says ow but then hammers his arm and it heals

When he did it to Calhoun for the first time she hit him across the room because she thought he was picking fights and fucking K.Od him with that bitch slap

Then was kind of apologetic after Felix explained and yelled "oh shoot sorry" then Scrap still laying in the floor gives a thumbs up and a strained "I'm ok...it's ok"

 Also if he did the punching thing with Vanelopie she would just pixilate a bit and his punches would almost go through her shoulder kinda I think much like Ralph it would also just tickle 

Ralph:

Before the whole plot of the movie I like to think Ralph liked him but was kind of bitter "he has huge fists and smashes stuff why am "I" the villain?" XD

Ok ok 

So he and Ralph actually get along surprisingly well for you know one being the main character of his game and supposed "heroes" of the game  and the other is well the bad guy. They both like punching stuff and hav a give each other a high five or fist bump while walking by each other so like buddys

Felix:

Him and Felix are more like 

Felix: look at this cool thin-

Scrap: HOLLY CARP CHECK THAT OUT

Like literally one of the doodle sketches was Scrapper leapfrogging over felix to look at a new plugged in game 

So he kinda is an annoying brat towards felix but always makes it in good fun like he's messing around with him with never an intent to hurt his feelings (even when he goes too far and accidentally does)

Vanelopie:

So now we got Vanelopie

There's actually this running joke sorta where scrapper really likes bright colors becus how I imagine his game has a very limited color palette except him for aesthetically pleasing reasons

So he'd actually stay away from brightly colored areas out of comfort before becoming more enthralled in other colors hens his fixation with casualty visiting sugar rush when he's bored 

You may think oh then he must have met Vanellope while visiting 

Well actually no he bye dumb luck he never met her until after the events of the first movie 

So there knowing each other isn't really that strong yet 

But because of him and ralph eventually becoming friends he grew a liking to the spunky little girl calling her shortstack all the time (despite him being a similar height) and or squirt

In response Vanellope calls him oled man

Calhoun:

 Calhoun thinks he's like 12

He is not he's like 30-40 Like lectures him on his fighting form Thinks he's like inexperienced Finds him endearing if a little overbearing Finds his high energy useful in certain situations but exhausting at other times Is unsure...which fighting game he originates from Then bonding through duty or honor or avenging a loved one.

Sour bill (because I want more interactions and im hiperfixsaiting):

Scraper:Yoooooo a fellow rubber ball

Sour bill:what?

 Ima say this shit now they would drink tea together because yes Scrapper doesn't like coffee he drinks tea

Sonic (because I can):

Mf cameos in scrappers game in later levels for no reason just because funny

It's like the meme

Scrapper: sonic? What are you doing here?

Sonic in scrapper's game: waiting for them to play Gangdemstyle 

Ok so I forgot to put this in I was ryly hoped to post this but thanks to my friend @im-not-important fore spell correcting and helping come up with ideas(also did some of the Blu doodles in the Wight board drawings)

[shitpost-it-tristan]

OC Info Card: Soursy Tartsludge

Soursy Tartsludge is a DLC character for the mobile/console release of Sugar Rush!! They're based on the Slime Licker candy.

SO MANY WORDS UNDER THE CUT YOU WERE WARNED

You know how Cookie Run: Kingdom has a different intro screen for every update? They did that with the Soursy Tartsludge update!!

(also guys the slime under their eyes IT'S GLASSES PLEASE GUYS)

They're also a glitch. Since the mobile release of Sugar Rush has voice chat (but has penalties for cussing), they hacked the filters to cuss. Soursy has a foul mouth!

Eventually, someone plugged in their phone into Game Central Station on accident to charge it, and Soursy escaped the mobile game! They went on to venture into the Sugar Rush cabinet.

Soursy was made fun of by the other racers for being the only sour racer. (Which is kinda dumb, but the racers are all around ten years old. Little kids are brutal.) So when they went into the cabinet, they met Vanellope, and bonded over their bullying!

They're also the adopted sibling of Captain Alvarez (my brother's Hero's Duty self insert)!! Soursy came from the Internet, they've seen a lot of violence and witnessed Call of Duty matches. They got bored of the sweets and visited Hero's Duty every now and then to watch from behind a rock (LMAOO)

The first time they met, Soursy panicked and ran/glitched back into the game central station. The second time they met, Captain grabbed Soursy with the suit's massive hands, and they FREAKED out. They were FRANTICALLY glitching trying to get out of his grasp, until Captain clarified he wasn't going to hurt them. Then they calmed down. Eventually, they encountered each other again and started to bond.

Soursy sometimes sticks to his back, so they can watch everything going on without getting hurt!!! During an active match, they can yell at him "ON YOUR SIX" to let him know that there's a cybug approaching behind him! SIBLING TEAMWORK!! And then when the arcade closes they both go to Tapper's!

From that point on, Soursy never returned to the phone they came from. They're well aware that if they die, they're not coming back, and that makes their little life even more thrilling!

They Break Yuu’s Necklace from Home

This is absolutely garbage but I am hoping it helps me break writers block so enjoy. No Yuuta sadly since his novel isn't translated I was afraid to fuck him up Yuu is gn as usual ect ect

Before you were summoned to Twisted Wonderland, you had a wonderful little sister named Vanellope von Schweets. The very last thing she gave you before you were taken, was a ceramic necklace in the shape of a heart. It was decorated as a sugar cookie with the crude cursive of a nine year old that said “You’re my hero”.

Since being summoned, you felt homesick everyday. You wondered how your sister was doing and if she was okay. The only comfort you had was that little necklace you wore everyday that you have hidden under your clothes to protect it from others and any potential thieves or damages. Until one day.

Ortho Shroud.

Ortho was one of the few you opened up to about Vanellope.

He was just so curious and sweet and reminded you so much of her. When you mentioned having a necklace from her, the little bot was curious. 

You wouldn't dare say no to the child. So you carefully took off your medallion and gently placed it in his robotic hands. Ortho immediately started to examine it, rotating it and flipping it over.

“This is really nice!” Ortho said as he scanned it, holding it up as he gave it a final look. As his hands clasped the edges of the heart, his robotic strength kicked in, fingers digging into the edges of  the medallion, causing it to crumble. The kid panicked, causing his fingers to dig even deeper into the ceramic, breaking it.

You froze as you watched a few pieces hit the ground and shatter. Apologies from Ortho flooded out as he nearly started crying, trying hard to pick up what pieces there were. “M-Maybe my brother can fix it! He’s super smart— Yuu?”

Your body shook as you held back tears. “It's okay Ortho, you didn’t mean it, I just… need some time for myself.” Ortho looked conflicted for a moment, before looking down sadly, leaving the room to give you the space you needed. Holding the broken pieces of what was left of the medallion, you broke down into tears.

Ace Trappola.

He didn’t mean it really! It was just right there on the arm of the couch in Ramshackle! Who could blame him for swiping it off by accident! If anything it was your fault for leaving it out! His utter disregard for what he did pissed you off, starting an arguement.

"I don’t see what the big deal is! I can buy you a new one!” “There is no ‘buying me a new one’ Ace! This is all I have left of my world! My sister gave that to me Ace, what am I supposed to do!?” You screamed at him, making Ace shrink away.

“I didn’t— I didnt know!” “Just get out!” You sobbed, “I don’t want to deal with you right now!”

Ace went silent, you could see him visibly struggle to let out an apology before he sighs, going to leave Ramshackle. He was going to give you time to cool off.

Sebek Zigvolt

Sebek truly felt awful. It was all his fault you were injured and it was all his fault the young master is upset as well!

He didn’t mean to hurt you, he didn't! He was just in a rush and you were in the way and then he bumped into you!

You fell straight onto your chest, shattering the fragile medallion around your neck into your skin. Blood spilled everywhere as you stood up, clutching your shirt in pain. 

He was expecting your anger but was surprised when he was met by silence. You looked completely hollow as you lay in the infirmary. Eyes devoid of any light.

“Human! Why are you so quiet?” He tried his hardest not to yell as he waited rathe impatiently  for your answer. “It’s gone…” “Pardon” “It's gone!” You yell, tears spilling from your face.

“My necklace its gone! My sister— What am I going to do! It’s all I have left!” You cried as you covered your face. “It was all I had left… It was all i had left!” Sebek was taken aback as he watched in horror as you break down in front of him.

“I want to go home…”

Deuce Spade

Deuce has always been a comfort to you since your time there. He knew of your little sister Vanellope, in fact, you told him all about your world.  You both would gush about your families together as you exchange stories of home and growing up! 

Deuce could never imagine touching your medallion knowing how much it meant to you, even when you allowed him to look at it, he was much too nervous for such an honor in his mind.

He never expected he would be the one to break it.

You felt bile rise in the back of your throat as you held the heart, snapped in two.

“I'm so sorry.” Deuce says, near tears himself. “I am so, so sorry.” To both of your surprise, you got up, and turned to leave. You would rather break down in private.

Jack Howl

Jack never met your little sister, but man did he hear a lot about her! The minute he talked about his siblings you opened up and talked about yours and it was the most animated hes ever seen you. It was quite clear you admired her.

You even showed him your medallion, and he was honored you chose him of all people to trust. As such he was super careful. He always ways. Until chaper three came around.

The tweels surrounded you all, barraging you with attacks of all sorts. Jack fired back, and fired and fired, Yet with Floyd’s Unique Magic was bound to cause issues. One of Jack’s spells ricocheted him, turning around and aiming directly at you, the flora spell striking your chest intensely.

“Yuu!” Jack yelled out, “Yuu are you—-“ “You! YOU!” You shrieked at both him and Floyd as you held your chest, before pulling out the sugar cookie medallion, now cracked. Your body shook as you looked at it, and the battle stopped.

Tears welled in your eyes as Jack apologized repeatedly over and over again. Guilt wells up within him as you suddenly pounced onto the wolf boy, ready for a fight.

Yuuka

(Short cause there not a lot of info on her yet)

It was during some good old Judo practice did she break it.

She accidentally gripped onto the ribbon of the necklace and ripped it off, making the medallion itself fall off on onto the floor. You both stared at it for a moment before you crumbled, sobbing into your arms as you covered your face

“Oh Yuu! Im—“ She paused as you ignored her, instead opting to kneel down to examine the pieces. 

"…Maybe, I can get some Kintsugi from Sam’s so—“

"You cant repair it. My little sister, she… She made it for me… And now I lost her. and my necklace….”

Yuuka froze before examing the pieces yet again before picking them up. “Come on then Yuu, I have a plan. Azul owes me one…”

Yuuken

“And like that she was taken away from me. Thats why I have to get back. I have to find my sister!” It was one of the first things you told him when you were both in ramshackle after you’ve both been summoned. He was talking about getting back to Japan when you opened up.He has people he needs to get home to as well.

Since then you both got along and you opened up more, especially about the necklace you wore and hid under your clothes. He knew how important it was to yoy and damn it, it lay broken on the floor from a misplaced strike of his shinai.

Yuuken’s body froze and he went pale as he watched the halves fall off the ribbon and shatter. You stood there, frozen. “My… My medallion!” You shrieked as you picked up the halves. “It’s broken!” Tears welled in you eyes as you mutter a mantra of ‘nods under your breath.

“Yuu, I’m—“ “NO! You BROKE it!” You shrieked at him, making Grim cower behind the man. “You broke it! You broke it!” You sobbed, “Just go away! I don't want to see you— I don’t—I don't want to talk to you either!”

Yuuken wanted to hold his ground, he wanted to offer to fix it, he wanted to make things right, but all he could do is watch as you crumpled, finally breaking down from all the stress the school has put you through. The necklace was just nail in the coffin.

Epel Felmier 

"Tch you seriously wearing something as dainty as this around?” He teased you as you rolled eyes. “The only dainty thing here is—“ “Don’t even finish that sentence!” He warned knowing what your teasing retort would be.

“Tch I just don't see why you wear this thing everywhere.” “My little sister gave it to me, I have to wear it everywhere.” “That’s fair I s’pose.” He smiled serenely. He never in his life expected to break it.

Like that he learned of your sister that you adored and your medal. He would have never expected to be the one to break something so important to you… He… he was just examining it. You showed it to him.

He had it in his hands! As he cradled it and took a look at it again, before he felt it slip through his fingers, in an attempt to stop it from falling he gripped onto it harshly, cracking it. Epel froze when he felt the ceramic shift under him…

“My… My medallion…” You stared at Epel who sheepishly showed you the cracked ceramic heart. You shakily took it from his hands before your body tensed and you turned around. 

“Yuu, hold on! I’m—“ “I don’t want to hear it!” You sneered at him before walking off. Your body shook in anger the whole way back to your dorm.

[citrusella-flugpucker]

So, I've long held that I always thought Ralph Breaks the Internet was... adequate. Not good. Not bad. Just... okay as a sequel. And I think, catching it on Disney Channel today, that I've figured out why that is.

It's because every one of its big ideas could be an interesting hook or element in a WIR sequel on its own.

Vanellope feeling stifled in her role and considering going Turbo (and how that's both similar to and different from previous documented instances of going Turbo (i.e. on the Sugar Rush end, there's no reason the game will go out of order if she happens to disappear from the random roster))

Ralph becoming heavily emotionally dependent on maintaining his friendship with Vanellope and keeping it as-is, and having to work on that

Ralph going Turbo (though maybe not like he did to cause Sugar Rush to go out of order--and doing it again after the first movie would need care to not feel like a rehash)

The internet (though I wonder if the particular execution of the internet not being as interesting may have to do with Rich Moore IIRC openly not really understanding the internet, circa 2012/2013)

Sugar Rush steering wheel breaking/figuring out what to do about it

Engagement farming (that part where Ralph tries to get TubeTube views, though here I mean it more broadly in the sense of "trying to get people to engage with something"--I could even see the specific engagement farming of dated-by-2018-standards memes feeling funny and timeless if the person doing them was not Ralph; for instance, if Litwak (who's past middle-age by RBTI) decided to try to do some to increase foot traffic at the arcade or something lol)

Viruses and glitches (though like Ralph going Turbo, it would need care to not feel like some sort of rehash of Vanellope and the Cy-Bugs)

The B plot with Hero's Cuties as parents/parent figures to the Sugar Rushians

Not Oh My Disney, the Princesses, or... nnnngh... the Slaughter Race Princess Song™. They just really only "work" in a very particular treatment of the plot and would be uninteresting or bad on their own (at least in the context of a Wreck-It Ralph sequel--maybe they'd be fine in a different movie entirely).

But anyway, the problem, I think, that brings the movie down to "adequate", that makes me not enjoy it as much or feel the magic I felt with WIR, is that the movie shoves all of these individually interesting thoughts together in a way that makes it feel cluttered and unfocused.

In essence, the movie can't pick a lane, I guess is what I'm saying. It wants to do too many things, and the way it does too many things results in an experience that doesn't feel as nice as the tightly interconnected A and B plots of the first movie. Whereas if it maybe picked fewer things from the list (or even just one thing) that it was able to execute well, maybe it would have felt like a nicer experience for WIR fans in particular?

TL;DR: Maybe RBTI would have felt nicer as a WIR sequel if it tried to do... less?
