going to act like nothing is different over here . actually that's a lie me saying that is acknowledgment of the fact that soemtjing is different . ok . let's ignore this-
UMMM carney / fenyx wir blog 😁 yay🩷
realised i don't want to make my main completely blown up with wir spam lol originally i was just gonna keep it all on there bc i didn't know to what level this hyperfixation might last , but honestly considering the fact i had a huge hyperfixation on the movie for like 4 years when it first came out , i think i'll be fine doing this lol i just want to eventually post other stuff on my main so i'll eventually move stuff over here or something like that ig
i also had realised i was honestly just holding myself back like that but with a dedicated sideblog i can go as crazy as i want without feeling as bad about it . HeHehEHoHO
yknow what this is all the acknowledgment i'm going to post rn . bc . i dunno honestly what else ... to put ... i'm still new here i'm learning i'll get there eventually raaaa maybe i'll make an actuall intro someday idk
The more I look at the Roadblasters scene the more it feels deliberate, I’ve been on that turn in Bubble City (at least I think this is BC?) before and it’s a bit tricky to swerve that far enough to crash into a tree unless it’s intentional.
Like that turn is HARD. Which makes me wonder if it’s the player being distracted by Turbo or, perhaps a bit more interestingly, the character swerving deliberately so. Hm! :]
sometimes i think slightly morbid questions about how some things in the wir universe work like ... i keep thinking about whether or not they have blood or organs i personally don't think so .... ? i mean like sure they can like blush and cry and bruise and stuff but to me i think it'd be like ... cosmetic almost .... ? i don't know that's the right word i'm looking for but i think it'd be like .... idk how to describe it but anyway hmm i think it could be a maybe in some cases like i think especially characters that are in like fighting games or whatnot can probably bleed and stuff but like i think some games wouldn't have that ... ? idk i just feel like they wouldn't have actual organs .... ?
and also i was thinking like 'if you chopped a guy's limb off in a game they didn't belong to but they died in their game , would they respawn with that limb or would it be gone forever' i kinda think it'd be the former but i think it's still interesting to think about .... take a shot every time i say think (jk)
I think saying I had so much fun at brisnova 2025 is an UNDERSTATEMENT. I can't explain to you guys in words how I was genuinely SWARMED by people both days I went, asking for photos, complimenting my cosplay, telling me how much they loved turbo, saying I'm the best twist villain and how turbotastic I am!!! xD
A store owner even gave me a fix it felix sticker for free because she recognised me and got me to do a little video for her!!! I got people asking me if I've seen the turbo video essay as well!!! This fandom is truly still alive and I was like a damn celebrity hahaha!
This cosplay took SO long to complete, mainly the cardboard car, I hit sooo many roadblocks with it, and made a lotta mistakes along the way, but it was still beloved by everyone there!!! I can't say enough how grateful I am, how absolutely lovely everyone was to me!!
Here's some wips for your viewing pleasure x3
mondo foot pics ???
first makeup test run ^^
Finally done! (Ignore how much of a mess the shed was TwT)
So I’m looking at this eBay listing of this, like- y’know- King Candy with his little cart, like, the actual toy, y’know, and it actually goes when you press that button!
greatest discovery of my life is that Jack McBrayer, Fix-It Felix's voice actor, is friends with Conan and did a bit where he shit talked customers at the Weiner Circle. it's really surreal hearing this stuff in Felix' voice
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IVE SEEN A MANDELLA EFFECT "TURBO IS FELIX'S DAD" WHAT IS GOING ON. WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP THINKING THIS???? I'M LIKE GENUINELY CURIOUS NOW.
The whole “King Candy was a pre-established character who had literally everything stolen from him by Turbo” and “Vanellope is King Candy’s daughter” concepts combined together messes with me so, so badly.
Can you imagine the absolute horror that’d be somebody breaking into your safe haven, violently murdering you, wearing your skin like a costume/possessing your body, and then parading around as you?
Then, in addition to all that, they alter the narrative to make sure your beloved daughter is as far removed from the throne (and her programming) as possible and get her viciously ousted by society for 15 whole years after your death— because guess what? The impostor’s botched attempt on her life ultimately left her “disfigured” in a way he declares to be intolerable and dangerous!
Maybe Turbo managed to create the entire King Candy persona himself, what with his acquired skill for coding, but if not…man. That’d make things significantly more fucked up than they already are.
TL;DR: If King Candy was a pre-established character and the father of Vanellope, then that would imply that Turbo destroyed an entire family in the most horrific and inhumane way possible just to get himself back in the spotlight. Not very Turbo-Tastic of you, dude!
Yeah, so... Y'all remember that whole ass character analysis thing I wrote about Felix? Here's the Bare Bones of it! It is... long, so I'm putting it under Read More. I do go off on some tangents, and there are probably some grammar mistakes - I'm hoping it all makes sense and y'all enjoy reading it!
-------
He's been plugged in for 30 years, so for his entire life, he's been the problem solver. While he attempts to convince Calhoun to allow him to join her on the mission, he uses the statement that it's his job, "to fix what Ralph wrecks" as a counterpoint in the argument. He can't stand by and let her do the job, that he's been doing his entire life. Not without him coming alone, not without assisting her.
Part of that is because he's programmed to be a gentleman, and even though he knows she can handle the situation on her own, it's his responsibility. His life purpose is to fix what Ralph wrecks. Without Ralph, there's nothing for him to fix. He already knows this, but the threat of his game being unplugged makes it even clearer.
His hammer has been the solution to every problem, or at least most of them. His skill, his greatest strength, is linked to it. Throughout the movie, we see him reach for it and rub the top of it, specifically when he's in a situation where he can't control that outcome. He gets anxious when he's in a situation, that the hammer can't fix, and that gesture brings him comfort. It symbolizes his dependence on it, he feels safe and secure knowing he has it. All he has to do is reach down and grab.
In order to bring Ralph back and save his game, he gets thrown into uncharted territories. He's put in unfamiliar situations, where he can't control the outcome and there's a risk of dying. He's slowly learning that for his whole life, he's been completely sheltered.
His game is peaceful, there aren't any weapons. The only threat he has to face is the possibility of being hit by a brick, or a duck. He goes into a full-blown panic after he tries using another skill he has, and it doesn't work.
This is a reference to the scene where Felix and Calhoun are stuck in the 'Nesquiksand, and he tries to "hop out to grab one of those vines." When the attempt (obviously) fails, he says, and I quote, "I can't hop...I'm Hop-less, this is HOPELESS..." As funny as that line is - believe me, I laughed myself to tears hearing it for the first time - it's a very important moment in the movie.
It's the moment he realizes that all the skills that help him, are completely useless outside of his game. It's the moment he realizes the situation they're in, is dire. He's a hero and in that moment, there is nothing he can do to FIX the situation. It's only when Calhoun has to snap- well, SLAP him out of it, that he's able to think outside the box and go outside his comfort zone. The situation isn't solved by him and his hammer - although the hammer is used so he can heal himself - it's solved by them working together, and he's the one who came up with it.
Until then, every problem he had, could be solved easily. All he had to do was pull out the tool from his belt and flick his wrist. Jumping from window sill to window sill was his hard work, and sometimes, he had assistance from eating upgrade pies.
He's had everything handed to him, on a GOLDEN PLATTER. (Lame joke, I know) That brings us to my next point. He inherited the role of being the game's hero.
While narrating the movie's introduction, it's stated by Ralph, Felix's hammer was handed down to him, by his father. Something that he's realizing, isn't useful outside of his own game. Aside from healing himself, and fixing the kart, and the shuttle, it stays on his belt. He still self-soothes with it, and he does use it two other times, but I'll dive into those scenes in a bit. The tool is his only defense, and it does nothing to help him.
Another unfamiliar situation he's faced with is his feelings for Calhoun. He's falling in love, and I assume it's for the first time? I'm not sure if this statement is accurate, but I assume that he rarely - if ever- left his game. I'm also assuming, he hasn't had romantic feelings towards any of the ladies from Niceland. This makes sense, the way they dote on him is very similar to an aunt praising their nephew.
The whole vibe is "Aw, look at him! So polite and proper, a little gentleman!" So, either an aunt or a maternal figure. I can already hear y'all saying "But what about when he wins the game!?' Or maybe you guys didn't think that, but anyway, yeah. He gets a kiss, on the cheek.
It's not even a kiss, it's exactly one frame, it is a peck. The only purpose it has is to serve as "wow, how kind! Thank you!"
Now that I covered that - although I most likely didn't need to - I'll get back on topic!
He's dealing with his feelings and the person he's falling for? The first time they meet, she almost shoots him several times, dropkicks him, and then shoves her gun in his face. You know what, I gotta say it. That's one *dynamite* first impression!
(Yeesh, that fell flat, I tried a bit too hard there. Like Felix trying to convince Calhoun he knows what she's talking about. That 'ahahAh I definitely understood that' squeaky laugh voice. "I kNoW rIgHt-" he's absolutely clueless, but she doesn't have to know - though, she definitely does.)
But, that is his first impression of her, and he's scared, rightfully so, who wouldn't be? But we see the moment, he looks at her and to sum up his speech, he basically just says "Gosh, you're stunning.." (was gonna say "purrty as a peach" but, nah)
So yeah, at first; he falls for her looks, but it's also very clear he respects her. That is one of the reasons why I love his character so much. The gestures he does, like taking off his hat while talking to her, are genuine. He's not putting on an act, he's not trying to win her over or charm her.
I don't think it's because he feels intimidated, either. It's in his code, but it's also who he is. The whole plot of the movie is that you're code doesn't determine who you are; but for Felix, he's a genuine, good guy.
Wreck-It Ralph, as a movie, said "The trope where the good guy, is actually a stuck-up jerk? Yeah, FUCK THAT." That is one of the many reasons, this movie is so great.
He's trying - bless his heart, he IS TRYING - his absolute best; to understand what she's talking about. He looks like he's attempting to process every word she says, individually. Despite the fact, he IS slightly (very) intimidated by her.
She, herself, is UNFAMILIAR. She's completely different from the ladies in his game. The way she looks, the way she carries herself, the way she yells at him-
Side note; I'm almost certain of this. After he put his entire self-confidence into his answer, - the most enthusiastic 'yES' I have ever heard, and she yelled 'WRONG' - she was holding in her guilt. She definitely wanted to apologize for, absolutely crushing his self-esteem.
I have a feeling she did, while they were on the cruiser and that's most likely why she let him hold onto her leg - sorry, I have to correct myself - let him..have a death grip, on her leg.
(I don't blame him, she probably didn't either. The moment he hopped on, she didn't let him balance himself - AT ALL - before she blasted off.)
He's spent the last 30 years, being the one who fixes things and solves problems. Helping the 'Nicelanders' and fixing their problems, is his job. With her, the situation is completely different, and he knows that. He knows she can handle things, he knows she doesn't need his help, and it's hard for him. Not only because it's outside of his comfort zone, though that is a part of it. He genuinely wants to help her, despite her not needing it. It's clear to him, that even if she did, he wouldn't know how to help her because he's not familiar with her, yet.
As they team up, they find common ground with each other. They're both searching the same place, to find something- and someone. Together, they navigate through the game, Sugar Rush. Felix is on the lookout for Ralph, and Calhoun hunts down a runaway Cybug, that escaped in a shuttle with Ralph, as he stole 'the Medal of Heroes.'
(Sidenote, Felix is searching, but Calhoun has the cybug, and Ralph on her - jammed up, radar... Felix could've fixed that - did that thought not cross either of their minds? Well, as the saying goes, "Love makes you blind.")
As they navigate through Sugar Rush, they begin the process of getting to know each other. They're figuring out each other's strengths and weaknesses, their compatibility. They're opposites, which makes it more interesting.
Felix is an open book, he wears his heart on his sleeve; while Calhoun is more guarded with her emotions. She doesn't let anyone get too close, including us. There's no pinpoint moment where Calhoun starts to reciprocate Felix's feelings for her, We're kept guessing, just like Felix.
It might have been after Felix pulled both of them out of the Nesquik sand, but it could've also been before. It could've been when he was more assertive while convincing her to let him come along.
Like I said before, Felix is completely different and that's interesting. The way Felix acts around Calhoun, makes it seem like he's falling in love for the first time. It seems to be more of an infatuation, at first, but a better term is 'puppy love.' Felix follows her around while admiring her and acts similarly to an excited, lost puppy. It's charming, and satisfying as we watch his feelings evolve into something more.
As they spend more time together, he's getting to know her. He's getting to know her authentic self, and we see him fall for her even harder. He admires how smart she is, and how calmly she handles a situation. Her way of saying things, not just her tone, but her actual words. He falls head over heels, for her personality.
Maybe at some point, he thought he loved someone - since he is 30 - but now he's finding out "Wait, this is a completely different feeling. Is this what actually loving someone is like? " He gets praise and love from the Nicelanders, but this is completely different. It's not just loving him for what he does; it's loving him, even if he didn't have the hammer.
He realizes, the worst thing that can happen to him in his game is getting hit by a brick or a duck. He realises her game is vastly different from his, and I love that he describes it as intense, because he doesn't say it in a bad way.
He's only just met her, but now he's learning about her past and not from her, but one of her soldiers. She has this tragic thing happen to her, and it's on the day SHE didn't do a perimeter search. A day that's supposed to be full of happy memories, but fills her with regret and guilt.
It causes her to have PTSD, and she's fighting an internal battle, while she has to physically fight a battle too. Both battles revolve around the same thing. The monsters in her game that took away someone she loved, left her broken and vulnerable. She puts up walls, never letting anyone get too close to see how broken and vulnerable she is.
He learns this, and he doesn't ask her questions about it. He doesn't bring it up at all, and I absolutely love that. He's confused, and instead of thinking she owes him an explanation, he respects her boundaries. He doesn't try to fix her.
This is something that he's never heard, he's never experienced anything like it either. Assuming his father passed away, and that's how he inherited his hammer, then he's struggled with loss. While struggling with his grief, he's also struggling with the weight of carrying the hammer and the reminder of who he's lost.
That isn't the situation that Calhoun has though, he's felt loss and grief. He comes from a retro game, so the concept of PTSD is most likely limited. In my opinion, he doesn't have a grasp on the concept, at all.
Felix doesn't clue in, "Oh wait, she got wide-eyed and quiet...then started screaming AFTER I called her a 'dynamite gal'. Those words have an impact and it's a bad one."
It's already clear, but then it's clearer. As Calhoun snaps out of her flashback and tells him to get out, he repeats those words. "All I said was you're a dynamite gal."
In his defence, he only knows what he's been told, and he wasn't told much. He doesn't see the flashbacks or the impact. He doesn't know those were the last words she heard her fiance say, or the fact that she didn't get to hear him finish saying them. He died, and it was by her own hand. She couldn't do anything to stop it. She watched the person she loved, turn into the same monster that she coded to destroy.
he's feeling confused, and he's a bit hurt too but he respects her. He gives her a quick glance because he's concerned, but he doesn't question her.
He's upset, but also feeling absolutely so pissed off at himself and now, he's alone in unfamiliar territory again. He's vulnerable, but wait! He hears Sour Bill mention Ralph, and there's hope! But as soon as he feels that small *sliver* of hope, it's ripped away from him. The rug is, quite literally pulled out from under him and he's sent to a dark place. In the literal and metaphorical sense.
He's the hero of his game, and now he's in jail. He's scared, he's desperately begging for someone to let him out, and he's completely helpless. His only hope is the hammer, and he gathers all his strength, any power he has left in him.. and it ruins (what he thinks is) his LAST chance to escape.
I remember there being fanart, a small comic. It's after he hits the bars, them tripling in size and he cries, but then looks at his hammer. His grip weakens and he lets it fall to the ground. The dialogue he says is "What's the point, it's useless anyways..."
And holy shit, if that was an actual scene, it would have been a *gut-punch.*
He's associated with the hammer. His name is literally FIX IT Felix, it's a part of who he is. So as he threw away his hammer, *while* he called it useless.. he's questioning, HIS purpose and saying HE'S useless. Like holy fuck, that would hit.. (the hammer on the nail, dead on-) it sends a message, that at that moment he's hit rock bottom. He's at his absolute lowest point, and he's never felt this helpless before. He's never been so upset or felt this overwhelming amount of self-loathing.
So when Ralph shows up and says *word for word*
"Fine, don't talk. But you NEED to FIX THIS"
It was the last straw, it was his breaking point. The dam broke, and the flood can't be contained anymore. He's breaking down, he's venting and dumping out all his frustration onto Ralph. If Ralph hadn't run off, he'd still be in his little penthouse and not feeling the absolute heartbreak he's feeling.
The "but she rebuffed my affections" line, always felt out of character to me. He just says it with so much anger, but thinking about it now, THAT context. The anger is towards himself, not her or Ralph. The part he's not saying out loud but is absolutely thinking is "And it's my fault! We.. we had a moment and I acted like a fool, and messed it up"
He trails off, instead of saying "I'll get her back though!" or "And I was such a gentleman!" And yeah, at first it's like yeesh.. but, he did almost die, more than once. And they were making 'googoo eyes' so he's a lil confused, and oh right, HE GOT THROWN IN J A I L
When the venting ends, Ralph tells him that he understands what he's going through. That he knows exactly how he's feeling, while he's at the lowest he's ever felt because *THAT* is how HE'S felt, every day for 30 years. Felix's entire world just completely flipped, Ralph's felt *this awful* for *that many years.* No WONDER he left!
Then he hears that what Ralph needs him to fix, isn't even for himself. It's for a little girl who's the outcast of her game, and this kart is her only hope. The same way that Ralph thought getting a medal was his only hope.
He can help, and he can do it, by fixing something with his hammer. 30 years, day after day of him fixing stuff and honestly, you can assume that fixing things loses its spark. He's getting praised and at some point, he's thinking "it's really not a big deal."
As he's fixing the kart up, even though its a small task for him, it's a big deal for someone else, and its lifted his spirits. He's back in his comfort zone, this is what he's good at and it's going to help someone!
He gets to see who this little girl, and its right after fixing her kart. He's probably so excited cause ralph told him a bit about her while they were searching.
And when he sees her, this nine year old little girl. She's locked up in a cell and it looks like the one he was just locked up, but shes in chains. Giant chains, that keep her from moving at all. I can't even imagine the shock he felt. how confused, how upset and how absolutely angry he felt while seeing that.
He hears Ralph and her name call and tease each other, and it confuses him even more. He's never had a friend like that, all he's ever known is being put on a pedestal. The nicelanders are nice, but they aren't real friends and sometimes they don't even show him respect. For example, Gene cutting him off as he's trying to defuse the situation at the anniversary party.
He's only *the hero* who *fixes the building*
He sees how much Ralph cares about vanellope, which makes felix care for her too. Shit man, he ran faster and got to her before Ralph did when the swarm of cybugs threw her off track. He was frantic, trying to remove the debris from the kart and see if she was okay. He's a genuinely good guy, and he needs to make sure this kid is okay, but he also knows that Ralph has a bond with her.
The scene where Ralph told her to stay with felix as he went off on the cruiser, felix protected her with every ounce of strength and power he had. He was terrified, calhoun was firing multiple rounds of gun shots. yeah he froze up, for a second, but then he grabs for hand, put his arm around her, pulls her towards him and as far away as he could from danger. He put himself between her and the cybugs, he took out his hammer and I fully believe, that if he had to do it, he wouldn't have any hesitation. He would put himself in the line of danger and hit a cybug with it.
This is the same Fix-it Felix Jr that avoided conflict and confrontation, at all costed.
The sheer panic in his voice as he called out her name, while she glitched between the cybugs to save Ralph. He sounded more panicked in that moment, then he had while almost dying in the Nesquik Sand. Ralph trusted him to look out for her, and he feels like he just completely failed him.
I wanna add how upset he sounded after calhoun said they had to blow the exit up. "But what about the game?" And her replying calmly with "There's nothing else we can do. Without a beacon,"
And I wanna add, how happy he was seeing Calhoun again. He was shocked seeing her take down Ralph with a single hit, but he's so happy, "My lady, you came back!" And he crumbled hearing her telling him to "can it"
He almost forgot but her yelling at him *again* has him remembering; "Oh right, I messed up. It's my fault she left, she's mad at me. She's still mad at me...and even though I don't know why, I respect her and I'm certain that her reason is justified."
The kiss was literally, "heh we did! Couldn't have done it with you though, so thank you!" He's *so confused* and it takes a few seconds before he smiles and kisses back. "Oh! I thought I was gonna die, what an interesting turn this took! *gosh..she's good at kissin'*"
I didn't mention how frantic and excited he was while he saw that Ralph and Vanellope were both okay. I love that he cheers for Ralph, and its because he solved the problem, and he did it, using HIS OWN skills. His giant fists, the ones that caused problems and wrecked thing, had solved a problem and fixed a situation.
The entire event changed everything for him. He faced confrontation instead of avoiding it, he got out of a situation without using his hammer (well, I'm talking about the Nesquik sand so technically he used it but whatever) he's experienced a whole new point of view, Ralph's point of view and he has so much respect for him. Not only that, but now Ralph's his friend. He's important to him, so much so that he asked him to be his best man at his wedding.
In conclusion, Felix learned so many things— besides his self-discovery that he enjoys getting roughed up.
Thing I noticed about Turbo and I need to share it with the world
All the adults in the main four are very strong.
I think we all know Ralph, Calhoun, and Felix are all strong. Ralph is obvious, he’s 9 ft tall and weights like what? 600 pounds? He demolishes the same brick building with his bare hands every day. He’s the strongest out of everyone mentioned here!
Calhoun is a military gal that’s fights giant robot bugs and carries heavy weapons all day. We saw her pull out a machine gun(?) the same length as her body out of nowhere and shoot at that bug who ate her husband.
Felix? He was able to lift Calhoun who weighs way more than him with ONE arm. I also have to mention but I’ve heard that he canonically has an 8-pack??! 😭
Now…compare any of them to Turbo. AND HE’S STRUGGLING IN A TUG OF WAR AGAINST A NINE YEAR OLD.
It’s so funny how a grown ass man is struggling against a child. I just can’t get over the fact he picked a fight with a little kid and LOST 💀
You gotta wonder if he was worried his candy subjects were essentially being attacked, thrown around and possibly injured, or if he was just concerned his 'perfect kingdom' was being attacked and ruining his image.
I think we all can agree he's very selfish and cruel for doing what he did, taking over and making sure Vanellope is left out.
Maybe at the start he does see all the citizens and racers as fools who are just there to make him racing, HIM winning, even sweeter.
I think what gets me is the TIME he's put into it, the way the racers and citizens aside from Vanellope LOVE AND TRUST HIM.
How they DON'T suspect him.
"King Candy says glitches can't race."
"The rules are there for a reason, Vanellope. To protect us."
A few scenes come to mind where comforts and soothes their fears, other scenes where he pretty fairly could have lost his temper or acted rudely but he's always very gentle with his subjects and underlings.
Of course he's thinking of himself, his facade, but for this thing to work he does ALSO have to think of them and their feelings.
It's in his best interest for them to feel safe and comfortable.
When selfishness and the common good overlap I wonder if that line gets a little blurry.
(There's no reason for him to be acting like this if Sugar Rush is no longer active, nowhere to race, nowhere to WIN. Why not drop the act even in this theoretical example? ((Which becomes cannon in the second movie but w/e))
And looking after them for 15 years, I have to imagine some part of him HAS to care after ACTING like he cares for that long.
Also it's worth mentioning in Turbo time, the crowd had NO FACES
Faceless cheering, hollow celebrations. Going from that to such a vast world of sweet, adoring fans. Supportive and helpful, even though they're misguided.
One time, when I was crashing out, I said something that was like:
"Oh sure, SURE! Y'all just want me to smile and pretend like everything is juuuuust PEACHY! Uh-huh, everything's hunk-dory! Except it's NOT! It's NOT hunky-dory! It's... it's... wimpy-dory!"
And the only reason why I remember this is because I used it in a fanfic as a Felix dialogue. Because that has the same energy as his crash out in the Fungeon.
