Posh and Prankster #6: Miscommunication

Ribbons Tied With a Bow

I've always headcanoned Sticky as shy, timid, and an aspiring artist. She and Gangle would get along swimmingly.

In less than 3 months, we all go to Shrimptown.

SR Inktober Day29: Rework

Woah, woah, woah, wait a minute. What’s going on? Aren’t they supposed to be in each other’s faces with jabbing remarks? Shouldn’t they be battling it out on the racetrack, or the football field, or way up on something really tall like a volcano of broiling cola? Didn’t we establish in 3 previous Inktober entries that these kids are the most ruthless, hot-headed rivals with a prideful streak as long as a telephone wire?

All that is true. But this entry is here to rework any misconceptions that the rivalry between Swizzle and Adorabeezle is a hostile one. While they may use any chance they get to compete and actively seek out any way to knock the other one down a peg, Adorabeezle and Swizzle are firm friends. They compete because they recognize and respect the other’s strengths and abilities. Other racers may all give Swizzle a good challenge, but it’s Adorabeezle who really makes him push harder to be the best racer he can possibly be. And Adorabeezle simply uses Swizzle’s taunts to psych herself up. They both like having a reliable sparring partner…whom may also be a suitable dance partner. These bonds are some of the strongest ones out there. Plus, a dance like this gives them a chance pass on playful threats regarding their next competition.

I have one last entry planned for Sugar Rush Inktober 2025. On Day 31, I will award the MVP for this Inktober to the racer most deserving. Who was it this round? Who had the most revealed about himself or herself in all 14 of the pieces I put out?

Also, super important detail: just like we learned on Day12 that she isn’t the kind of girl who likes to sing, Adorabeezle also isn’t really one for dressing up so formally, but she can still do it…except for the shoes. She hasn’t quite figured out the footwear department.

SR Inktober Day27: Mini Games

I remember reading an Archie comic in which Archie is determined to win prizes at a carnival for Betty purely because Reggie has been winning prizes for Veronica. The two hot-headed rivals bet each other that their respective girl will carry more in her arms by the end of the day. But Archie stinks at every carnival game and can’t win anything. Despite Betty pleading with him to stop blowing all his money on prizes that she doesn’t even want, Archie refuses to give up, for his pride and dignity are at stake. Betty persuades him to at least ride the roller coaster with her before Archie goes broke. And guess what? He stinks at riding roller coasters too. Reggie ends up losing the bet as Betty carries a woozy Archie home.

One of the things that Crumbelina admires most about Gloyd is his determination. When Gloyd puts his mind to something, he doesn’t quit until it’s finished. Sometimes it’s brainstorming and setting up the ultimate prank. Other times, it’s doing whatever he can think of to please Crumbelina. And even though she is in fact so wealthy that she could purchase this entire carnival if she really wanted to, let alone a few plushies, Lina enjoys watching Gloyd become so determined to reach his goals. With that look of high concentration locked in his narrowed eyes and the way he seems to close off the rest of the world as he focuses on shooting enough cola into that target to fill the balloon…she finds it very cute.

I always try to get at least one Posh and Prankster into every Inktober, and here it is! That leaves just one more Inktober entry for 2025 plus the finale. Which one will it be? And who will be used to represent it? Find out soon!

SR Inktober Day25: Crossover

Inside every human body, 37.2 trillion cells are working hard to maintain a healthy effective system. Each cell tirelessly performs their job without rest. Red blood cells transport oxygen and nutrients. White blood cells defend the body from pesky germs and viruses. Platelets repair damaged tissue. All members of the human body do their part.

My Sweets at Work return for the craziest crossover I could think of! Back in 2021, I doodled up the Sugar Rush racers cosplaying as some of the familiar characters from Cells at Work, a manga and anime series that focuses on the cells of a human body, personified as microscopic people themselves. Each story focuses on a specific aspect and how the cells deal with it, such as blood circulation, bacteria invasion, pollen allergy, influenza, food poisoning, and cancer. There’s even a story about Covid. Physicians and doctors around the world have praised Cells at Work for being extremely accurate in its presentation of the scientific and biological information on top of being a fun-filled action-packed series. The series primarily follows a rookie red blood cell as she navigates the complex body systems to make her deliveries, often crossing paths with a white blood cell whose job is to eliminate foreign invaders that threaten the body’s health.

To learn which racer is playing which type of cell, you can check out my first sketch of them: https://www.deviantart.com/thebluejetpack/art/Sweets-at-Work-892146094

Or...I could direct you instead to the English-dubbed intro song of the anime instead. It’s a bop! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox0lBHmIrWM

Watch the video, try to spot all the cells I’ve drawn here in it, then go watch the series. Learn what each cell does for you. Educate yourself about your own body. And above all, take care of your health. These cells are working for you. They don’t need more stress than what they have to endure every day.

SR Inktober Day23: Dangerous Driving

Sugar Rush racers are programmed, coded, and created solely to race. But they have other interests too. Citrusella is very fond of Musical Golf. It’s just like regular golf, except you do it blindfolded. It’s a delightfully-relaxing sport that allows you to really let loose. As for why it’s called ‘Musical Golf’, the name is pretty self-explanatory as soon as the game starts. CRASH! SMASH! BASH! POW! OW!

There are just 3 entries left for Inktober 2025 and a finale yet to be made. Which racers will be featured? And who will be crowned the MVP? The next one with be Day 25, which might be my most wild one yet.

Day 21: Action!

The competition just won’t stop…because Adorabeezle and Swizzle just won’t stop. Down the mountains of chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla they go, racing to the extreme on popsicle stick skis and sour strip snowboard in a fiery war to outdo each other and settle this rivalry of theirs for good. Adora is a natural on the slippery slopes, but Swizz is a daredevil with enough pent-up energy that just might square up to his rival’s level, giving her a run for her gold coins. And a few taunting faces to knock her down a peg never hurt. Who will win?

Day 20: Flavour

Inktober resumes and so does Adorabeezle and Swizzle’s competition from Day 2. The volleyball tournament ended in a tie on account of Nougetsia and Sticky needing to hastily bail when things became too rough, so now they’re engaged in an ice cream eating-contest. Who can down more tubs of premium Soft Serve Speedway-grade ice cream before your rival crashes out from a brain-freeze? They’re both elite Sugar Rush racers, designed to live and breathe sweets of any kind. Fast in their karts and fast with their stomachs. And neither one is willing back down when their dignity and bragging rights are on the line. Who will win?

Candlehead wishes a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to one and all!

Sugar Rush Inktober will resume after the holiday craze fades away.

Day 17: Renovations

Remember that magical book that Candlehead found on Day 7? Well, now she’s going to give it all a try. Maybe Torvald can lend a hand. A whole body would be better.

Day 14 & 15: Culture & Besties 4 Life

Adorabeezle and Jubileena are not the only pair of best friends on my radar. Nor are Swizzle and Gloyd. Skilled artists Snowanna and Crumbelina have bonded through a deep connection within their sanctuary that is the world of music. Regarded as two of the older girls in this wacky racer family, their personalities are reflected in their musical tastes: vivacious Snowanna is into pop, techno, rock, and all that jazz while prissy Crumbelina prefers classical. They are Sugar Rush’s very own Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Melody. Though their styles differ wildly, these girls can make some good musical fun after racing hours are over. Together, they unlock the magic chambers that can only be discovered through music. And Snowanna is fully capable of being Crumbelina’s accompanying pianist, switching modes to play with her bestie. She secretly plans to teach Crumbelina how to play the drums.

Day 12: Trending

Jubileena loves bursting into song whenever she can. Adorabeezle absolutely does not. In fact, singing is not in her code, as she says.

But…sometimes enough begging from Jubi can get Dora to sing just one song with her on karaoke night.

Total glup shittos in the Wreck-It Ralph universe, but in my world, they are two of the most flourished characters to play with. The best part about them is they are literally a perfect colour-coded match for the trope known as ‘Red Oni, Blue Oni’. Jubileena is extroverted, energetic, and emotional while Adorabeezle is calmer, cautious, and calculating. Adorabeezle always supports Jubi in her big ideas, but sometimes needs to pull Jubi back down to reality when her red friend gets too lost in the clouds. Jubi, meanwhile, helps to keep Adorabeezle’s heart in check when the blue racer struggles to express herself. They balance each other out because truly neither is complete without the other. Like Galinda and Elphaba. Lika Anna and Elsa. Like Charlie and Vaggie. These girls are a lightning-in-a-bottle duo and I am very excited to showcase this through their origin story on FFNet. Don’t worry, it’s still in the works.

Day 10: Let’s Talk

“You’ve done more than that, Sticky. What about your art?”

"Are you afraid of candy corn?" "No...who's afraid of candy corn?"

Day 7: Magic

Check it out! While she was looking for her lost oven mitts, Candlehead discovered the most amazing book on Mr. Felix’s bookshelf. It’s a magical book that teaches you how to do real magic! Candlehead just has to try them all! But which trick should she learn first?

Also, someone grab a fire extinguisher for that thing in the oven that she has now long-forgotten about.
