#the candy van

[republic-of-vivian-art]

Candy Van - a Citroen H van who really wants to show kids a good time, but for some reason nobody wants to go with him? He just has bad luck, I suppose.

The Candy Van was not actually made in the Evil Truck Factory like the other Evil Trucks were. He just kind of showed up in front of the factory gates one day claiming to be "a friend of your dad's" and let himself in. This may be why he is the only one of the Evil Trucks to actually be able to speak.

The other trucks don't like him.

"Junkyard Dog", the Evil Trucks' waste manager and guard dog. He's a garbage truck who's also a dog. Some dogs have fleas, but he's probably the only one with flies.

When he's not raiding the city dump for potentially useful pieces of garbage, Junkyard Dog is serving as a guard dog at the Evil Trucks factory. He will bark at intruders since his horn doesn't work too good.

The Candy Van is the closest to Junkyard Dog of all the evil trucks - none of the other trucks will talk to him, please he likes to tell kids that he has a dog at home that they can pet.

candy tagged me in a WIP meme!

post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). no context, no explanations. no more than one sentence! Tag at least 5 people when you’re done.

it turns out I only have 2 WIPs in my folder? so. is just two things(I’m not counting things I’m working on for class because. those dont really count)

1. “Maybe her own life had been so dark before, that sharing her soul was the only way to let the light she already had out.”

2. “So I’m trying to make this whole magic thing work around with my job without losing my job and… it’s a bit frustrating.”

and... honestly I don’t know who all of my friends are writers. I have to tag hedgiwithapen and then anyone else who has some WIPs they want to contribute

(wait why can't you touch x files what's wrong?

so my brothers loved x files, or at least enjoyed watching it, when i was really young. like, six years old or however old i was when xfiles was a thing. and i already have issues with paranoia and getting scary mental images i cant get rid of so like. that did nothing at all to help me out when i was a young tiny impressionable baby. honestly i dont know what else creepy or even remotely scary we would have watched when i was that young bc i dont think we watched any detective shows or anything so? x files might be the only reason i was dealing with paranoia issues from such a young age

i honestly remember nothing about it though except that the theme music makes my heart clench up in fear so like. by my standards now it probably wouldnt be all that freaky and actually watching it might even help me get over those feelings but mostly im slightly disappointed that show rose up from the grave at all

the-candy-van replied to your post:ok i cant do this anymore everyone name your...

thanks for making me realize none of my shows will ever be finished and my life is a trash heap of dead horses being beaten until they stop coughing up money

but doesnt that count as them ending, candy?

but yeah thats why i dont want a lot of popular shows. i can only stand so much of that candy. i need resolution. i need conclusion. infinite narrative for the sake of narrative is... too much
