#wreck it ralph anniversary

[sparklermun]

Hey there everyone! Welcome to night fourteen of the Wreck-it Ralph Pin Post Month!

Tonight we've got another recent release. The WDI, D23 Expo 2024, Disney Villains Collection, King Candy, Wreck-it Ralph pin. LE 400.

With every D23 Expo there comes a new Disney Villains Collection, with this one not disappointing. As forty Disney Villains from forty different animated movies stared on their own jumbo pin. Complete with glitter and a stained glass effect. This particular pin stars King Candy, our not so sweet villain from the first Wreck-it Ralph film. Here we have him posed in the castle doorway with a hand on his hip and a cane in the other. We see the old king staring straight at us with a brow raised, almost tauntingly as though challenging us to try and see through his sugary façade.

This is my second favorite pin to be released this year by Disney Imagineering, (the number one favorite being one you'll all have to wait till next week to see). I love love love the attention they give pins like these! From the individual chains in the candy chandelier, to the design of the stained glass door that looks exactly like the doors Felix knocked upon in the film. Then there's King Candy himself, where a great amount of detail was brought to his face and hair to emphasize the elderly look of this persona. All without taking away the power and energy emanating off of him as he challenges the observer. Then there are the less obvious details, such as the folds and curves of his clothing. The crinkled, reflective look of his candy wrapper bowtie; as well as the faintly painted design on his wavy collar. Every D23 Expo comes with an excuse to celebrate the greatest Disney Villains of the past, and this particular pin certainly feels like a trophy to the villainous racer.

Happy 12th Anniversary, Wreck-It Ralph fandom!

Happy Birthday to this fandom! On this day in 2012, the first trailer for Wreck-It Ralph debuted at E3 and we got our first sneak peek into the world of Litwak's Arcade. This was the establishment of the movie's fandom, and where the speculation and anticipation began!

As is my personal tradition every year, I'd like to thank all of the Wreckling friends I've made in this fandom for their support, the great times we've had together, and all the creative works we (and WIR) have all inspired each other to make! And of course a big thanks to the cast and crew of the movie for making something so extremely special to me, which brought me together with good friends in continued appreciation of the characters, story, and world of the arcade.

It's been a pretty interesting year so far, with appearances of the Core Four and King Candy/Turbo in Speedstorn and the latter in Magic Kingdoms, as well as some merchandise and never-before-seen WIR concept art and storyboards from story artist Jed Diffenderfer. I wonder if this is a coincidence or if there's something special on the way?

It makes me happy to still see so much love in this fandom after all this time! Here's to us celebrating many more anniversaries together!

This was supposed to be an Halloween sketch but I didn't like how it looked, so I took a few more days to actually finish it. I'm not 100% happy with the final result, but I still quite enjoyed the process!

So for some context, both Lucifer and King Candy share the same italian voice actor, Fabrizio Vidale. And I only found out, like, a few weeks ago 🤡

Also they're both short kings so I guess that counts too.

My 10th anniversary being a fan of Wreck it Ralph

The summary of all this is that I'm going to upload all my content I have been working on since 2014, but because two of my former friends started harassing me and judging my asexuality and aromanticism after I rejected one of them from forming a relationship, they made me feel insecure and humiliated. This led to a crisis, and I ended up deleting a large part of my content. (This is also why I have become so shy and have come to hate my art so much. Currently, I am forcing myself to get out of a crisis by job hunting and obsessing once again over WIR, so finally (for my very old followers) I will be posting for the rest of the year what for me are 10 years of obsession.

Enjoy :)

I was not immune to bedroom eyes King Candy pin and now I have him. It’s so tiny compared to my other pins, but the wheels move on this one, too! 💕 If I’m not mistaken, it’s the only pin of him with his racing helmet and goggles, and ngl, him pulling them up like they were shades is actually so cute<3

Also I really like the little touch of the WIR logo with the number “10” on the back to show it was on the movie’s 10th year anniversary. (Under cut)

Just to Mention a Happy 12th Anniversary To Wreck It Ralph!

[sparklermun]

Hello there everyone, and welcome to night seventeen of the tenth annual Wreck-it Ralph Pin Post Month!

Tonight we're revisiting the WDI, Pressed Pennies, King Candy, Wreck-it Ralph pin. LE 250.

This pin was released in August of 2013 as a part of a large collection of pins known as the Pressed Pennies Series. A collection of pins made to reflect the design of their pressed coin counterpart, in honor of one of Disney's oldest forms of Disney park collectables. This particular pin was made in the image of the King Candy pressed penny once found in Disneyland and Walt Disney World. The pin itself is shaped like an oval, with the raised molded figure of King Candy in his classic pose. Leaning on his cane was smiling cleverly, all the while his name sits in bold beneath his feet while the movie logo resides under that.

The Pressed Pennies pin series comes with a bit of Disney history, as each pin in this collection was modeled after an actual pressed coin found in Disney parks. Amounting to sixty pins total, plus an additional three released in Disney Hong Kong. This includes coins from holidays, special events, as well as those that were only available for a limited time in parks. Immortalized in pin form so the memory of discontinued coins lives on. I have a particular fondness for this collection as I once walked around Disneyland as a child with my little book of pressed pennies. Excited to add another to my collection, after begging my parents for a penny of course. It was these coins that lead to my collecting of pins later on, so having a pin that brings together the past and present is quite a special thing.

Caught (Extended)

(( An extended version/different perspective of the ‘Little Moment’ I wrote titled ‘Caught’. It’s been a long time since I sort of dove in to how nasty and controlling I feel Gene can be, particularly towards Felix, who doesn’t know how to handle it. This has potential to be a multi-part fic, but we shall see! )) -----

“Has anyone seen Felix?” Gene raised his tiny arms in exasperation. The Nicelanders bustling around him shook their heads and shrugged.

“Oh I’m sure he’ll turn up soon! Don’t you worry,” Mary plastered on a smile, carrying a freshly baked pie.

“No, something is wrong. I can feel it,” the mayor wiggled his mustache after polishing off his morning martini. “I’m going to check on him.”

Gene had knocked a total of three times on the superintendent’s apartment door, which was uncharacteristically locked. Luckily for him, as the landlord, he had a copy of the keys. Flipping through his ring, he inserted the correct key into the knob and opened the door to a quiet living room.

“Felix?” Gene huffed as he searched the area. His eyes narrowed as he turned to the closed door into the handyman’s bedroom. Determined to get to the bottom of things, the tiny man burst in through the door, his anger growing when he spotted a sleeping lump in the bed.

“Felix!” he shouted. “What’s gotten into you? The arcade opens in five minutes!”

The handyman shot up, shirtless, slowly followed by a second figure; a tall, blonde woman with hardly anything on.

“What the—Who the?!” The mayor could barely string words together, his face turning red.

“Gene!” Felix squeaked, hopping off the mattress, just in his boxers as he attempted to usher the Nicelander out the door. “Please! Let Miss Calhoun and I get decent!”

“You?!” Gene remembered that name, having briefly met the sergeant at a party a week ago. He’d hardly recognized her without all that ghastly armor on.

“Nice of you to remember me,” Tamora smirked over her shoulder, pulling up her camo pants.

“Her?!” the mayor spat at Felix. The handyman’s face soured and he pushed Gene through the bedroom door, locking it.

Felix's face glowed bright red as he turned around to face his lady. Grabbing two fistfuls of his light brown hair, he let out a long, tapered whine as he suppressed a scream.

“I knew this would happen,” he berated himself. “I mean, I didn’t know. But I did.”

“Deep breaths, Fix-It.”

“How are you so calm?” the 8-bit was beside himself. “You were half naked in front of a strange man!”

“Being one of the very few women in the corps, you get desensitized to that pretty quickly,” Tamora explained. “Sorry to tell you, but you’re far from the only man I’ve ever undressed in front of. Besides, who cares what that little squeaker toy thinks?”

“I do!” the handyman lamented as he pulled up his jeans. “Tammy, I live with these people. I work with them and for them every single day. For thirty years I’ve been their perfect, dedicated and trustworthy hero. And now that pretty picture they’ve painted of me will forever be tarnished…”

“You sure know how to make a girl feel special,” the sergeant quipped.

“I’m serious, Tammy,” Felix whimpered. “You don’t know what they can be like, how Gene can be when he disapproves…”

Tamora’s wry smile withered, but before she could reach out a fevered knocking rapped at the handyman’s door.

“Three minutes!” Gene shouted from the other side.

“Save yourself, my lady,” Felix whispered, throwing open his window that led out to the fire escape. Handing the sergeant her cruiser as she ducked through the opening, he gave a quick peck on the cheek. “I’ll see you at quittin’ time.”

“I’ll be waiting,” she smiled, grasping his white shirt collar to give the handyman a proper parting kiss. He couldn’t help the pang of uncertainty as she took off.

Turning around, Felix grabbed his work shirt, slipping it on before thrusting open his bedroom door.

“Uh-huh,” Gene huffed, zoning in on the open window behind the hero. “Sneaking off like a two-bit criminal. You sure know how to pick ‘em.”

“Do I?” Felix spoke impassively, brushing past the mayor and finishing buttoning up his uniform.

“Oh you sure do,” Gene insisted, shadowing the handyman as he walked to the entryway where his toolbelt hung on the wall. “First Pauline, and now…this woman!”

“Tamora,” Felix corrected, exiting the apartment with the mayor at his heels. “And as I recall, you all did the matchmaking when it came to Pauline and I…”

“Biggest mistake I ever made,” Gene huffed, bumping into the handyman when he turned around.

“Can I remind you that the major problem you had with Pauline is that she had an amicable relationship with Donkey Kong, and advocated the concept that ‘good’ and ‘bad’ went beyond our programming? And now we all know that she was right.”

His point made, Felix continued down the hall and to the stairwell, ignoring the tenants that peeked out of their apartments curiously as the arguing pair strolled by.

“She was a troublemaker, and a bad influence,” Gene huffed, trying to keep up with the handyman as they descended. “And clearly this Tamora is no different.”

“I’m starting to think that you just don’t want me to be happy,” Felix said in an eerily calm tone.

“That’s ridiculous. We just want the best for you. We’ve done nothing but love and support you all these years!”  

A pit formed in the handyman’s stomach, all too familiar with his turning point in their arguments. Face flushing and heart beat rising, Felix wished for an escape as he burst through the double doors to the outside. Tucking in his shirt and pulling the rest of himself together, he made for his starting position.

“It’s always like this with you,” Gene wagged a stubby finger, barking at the handyman’s ankles still. “One little thing doesn’t go your way, you act like a petulant child!

Felix stood on his mark, brows furrowed and heart crumbling.

“Arcade’s opening,” he murmured, hesitant to say more. He unconsciously held his breath until the mayor left his side to enter the building. Letting it out with a shaky exhale, the handyman steeled himself, eager to get through the day…

“Uh, hey–” a welcomed voice approached gently.

“Ralph,” Felix spun around, struggling to tamp down his agitation as he put on his gloves. “Do me a favor and please throw our dear mayor as hard and as far as you can today.” He took a moment to look up into his friend’s wide, unblinking eyes. “Just chuck him, please.”

Happy 12th Anniversary, Wreck-It Ralph!

As I say every year on the anniversary, another November is upon us, and I’d like to express my yearly appreciation for this fantastic movie, its creative crew, and all of the friends I’ve made in this lovely fandom!

This day always comes up fast but that's no wonder, considering all the stories, art, brainstorming, and friendly clownery we have going around to keep us busy all year. It's awesome to have all you lovely people to bounce around ideas, we all inspire each other!

Naturally there’s way too many Wrecklings to tag, but you all know who you are here. All my gratitude to you! Best wishes to many more years of our friendship, creativity, and enjoyment of this movie and its universe. I love you guys, and keep wreckin’!

Today is the 5th anniversary of Ralph Breaks The Internet/ Wreck It Ralph 2 in 2018.

But these are the heroes for me that made me want to see the movie, even though they never interacted. ^w^

Some people came for the princesses, but I came for them.
