Kill Switch: Part Sixteen

She took a deep breath in a poor attempt to steel her nerves, and walked inside the dungeon. Every step was a struggle, a fight to keep herself from trembling, to not show a single shred of weakness in his presence. She moved as quietly as she could, keeping her eyes locked on the motionless Cy-bug lying in the shadows. Whether or not he’d heard her come in, she couldn’t tell. His back had been turned, and she could see his body rise and fall with each breath he took. Perhaps he’d been too focused on recovering from his electrocuting escape attempts to truly notice her. Vanellope took another deep breath. Then spoke in as composed of a voice as she could muster. “So. Back to square one, huh?” It had been a long time since her voice had stirred such a malevolent beast inside of him. The vicious, feral snarl she’d gotten in response was rich with familiar elements of that carnivorous and mechanical discord she knew all too well. She had to fight to hide it, the way that noise brought her back to being helplessly cornered by a swarm of Cy-bugs at Sugar Rush’s exit. The way they shrilled and gnashed their fangs as they approached, bringing the threat of permanent death along with them. The way Sinistar kept forcing her back into that very same traumatizing position over and over again. She had hoped she’d never have to feel like that again. Especially not with Turbo. But, in all honesty, what right did she have to be surprised that he would be the one to rip away that hope? “Glitch.” Turbo spat the word out like a vile curse. The growling creature arose from where he laid, shadows twisting across his form as he paced back and forth alongside the bars of his prison, with glowing yellow eyes locked onto Vanellope all the while. “Come along to gloat now, have you?”

happy pride gamers. is this anything

everyone probably already knows what this is based on at this point but the og’s under the cut. go nuts

[splinteredsweets]

Giggling at the last image bc it was supposed to be Felix next to him but I got lazy

More sketches to help me get back in the mood to draw

[splinteredsweets]

What's up gamers. You ever think about how TurboTime was right next to Fix-it-Felix Jr. and Roadblasters was set up right in across from TurboTime, meaning it's very likely Felix saw the whole Roadblasters incident go down in real time right before his very eyes

Kill Switch: Part Fifteen

That’s when the realization hit him. She couldn’t glitch. They were alone, and she couldn’t glitch away. If she hadn’t been such a blatant fool, getting rid of her beacon detonator, he wouldn’t have thought twice about it. But she did get rid of her detonator. And now, he has been presented with an opportunity. One that, in all honesty, he didn’t want to think about. He wished it had never crossed his mind. But now that it had, the thought was quick to fester, to burrow its wretched way deeper into his head until he had no choice but to consider it. It was only when he realized how apprehensively Vanellope had been staring back at him that he came somewhat back to his senses. Had she seen the brief moment of contemplation that plagued his eyes? He certainly hoped not... Squashing those thoughts down as best that he could, he started to move towards the injured child. But, despite all her efforts, not even she could hide the glimmer of fear that’d passed through her gaze the second he stepped closer. That sight alone stopped him dead in his tracks. It was so brief, so fleeting, that Candy was sure it hadn’t even been a conscious thought on her part. But it was there, and he had seen it.  That was the reality. It always had been, hadn’t it? That was the simple truth she kept refusing to accept. They weren’t friends. They had never truly been friends. This had been transactional. Nothing more, nothing less. He always knew that, despite how much Vanellope tried to pretend it was anything else. He was nothing more to these people than a tool they could barely control, and they were nothing more to him than means to an end. This was it. His chance to escape from this whole charade, served up on a silver platter. If he were the one to take her glitching abilities for himself, the scales would tip drastically in his favour. Sinistar would hardly be a concern anymore. Vanellope’s idiotic family would never know what hit them. He would be a fool not to seize such a golden opportunity.  So why was he hesitating?

chapter 4 to have loved and lost update / rambling + deleted scene (ig you'd call it) / a few behind the scenes ig lol

this is an apology for making promises i just can't keep i should really stop doing that .... i told myself i'd spend may writing and i did the exact opposite lmao

chapter 4 woudkve been out a few weeks ago if i hadn't had the sudden epiphany beforehand that i needed to rewrite the last like third of the entire chapter ? that section has always bothered me to be honest and not too long ago i finally realised i should just rewrite it like , it's fine as is , but i just don't like it that much ??? and i feel like it'd kinda be a bit of a drastic enough change if i kept it as-is , but came back and rewrote it whenever i finish chapter 5 ?

anyways i had a dream last night about wir again but it was an alternate take on the movie- it was pretty much the same just a few details were different here and there i don't remember much to be honest but i think that is a sign i should try getting back on this

i'm not going to estimate when i'll be finished with chapter 4 it really depends on how i feel that day ig like even before when i was on a roll i coudlnt do a thing one day and then i'd blaze through hundreds of words in a brain blast section the next

so anyways i've been very stumped on rewriting this bc like ? conceptually i think i know what i want but i think i've been too hung up on trying to salvage a part i really liked but i think unfortunately it's just not going to work anymore .... who knows maybe i'll find a workaround and this'll just be like a little sneak-peek but yeah im probably gonna have to cut it ... but i like it enough to still want people to see it so i'll post the little snippet i still like below

"Fury flashed through King Candy violently like a vicious bolt of lightning and he cut off that line of thinking altogether. What did he care how Fix-It Felix Jr felt? It wasn't like he had cared to take him seriously then, telling him he was ‘worried over nothing’ and he ‘wasn’t thinking clearly’ and how ‘everything would be fine’. Well, everything hadn’t been fine, had it? No, nothing had been fine until he’d taken matters into his own hands and all his efforts had finally paid off in the new life he'd carved out for himself. A life where he was respected and admired by everyone around him, where he had the love and attention he deserved. He had heard the way Fix-It Felix Jr had talked about him just like everyone else did. As if all the time they’d spent together meant nothing. "

i would add in the lines of context before this point but i don't like them that much and even now i'm kinda doubting this paragraph but ig that's okay since they'll be scrapped anyway ... but basically .... yknow what i'll just copy-paste the notes to self i wrote to explain it "OK I REALISED WHY i think that one section is Bothering Me . i should rewrite that part where it's like . not felix being sad he's happy and living his life and candy is ANGRY bc like oh he doesn't need me anymore he abandoned me wELL i don't care about HIM then i don't need him either (cut out a section of planning what to do next) just like deep down candy is really hurt that felix doesn't need him anymore or seem to care at all but um no he's not sad at all what are you talking about hm um i kinda just forgot but it's ok we can rework this"

another thing i wanted to mention that unfortunately will also become lost bc it doesn't work anymore either is before ^those lines , candy lets himself get a little regretful for leaving felix behind and how that must've affected him and in those moments he mentally calls him by his familsr name 'felix' again before snapping out of it and continuing to call him by his full name (which he does throughout the entire chapter) idk i just kinda like that idea but yeah for what i want to rewrite i don't really see it working anymore ...

uh what was i gonna say again i got kinda distracted i didn't plan any of my words on here out

i do not rmemeber . is this adequate enough i am sorry for being a mess

yeah my brain isn't working anymore i'm sorry >_< i was gonna make this update a few days ago after i got back from vacation with my family but 1. the first time i tried that it was much less comprehensible than it is now and i was kinda out of my head and 2. i just kept forgetting and im kinda losing myself here and i can't think anymore i overthought and my brain is on fire im sorry

[splinteredsweets]

watched a video about this thing like a week ago and haven't stopped thinking about him since

[splinteredsweets]

they didnt interact much at all probably, but it's fun to imagine if they did

[splinteredsweets]

saw something about King Candy originally being Vanellope's father and thought it was cool. I don't think it's TRUE but it's a cool idea. a sad one too

[splinteredsweets]

I wouldn’t say I ship them but I get it
