Friendly reminder that I’ve moved! All my muses are now found at @wherethemusetakesme​ instead; if you’d like to keep on interacting with my muses, please follow me over there ^^

I’ll make a real promo sometime I really will.

It’s honestly mostly just for the purpose of having this be a *main* blog, instead of the sideblog it has been; nothing much is changing otherwise, and threads are gonna be carried across too ^^

Also, I’m taking things slowly for now; but I am poking at being active again now that I’m over there. Just… playing it casually, so I don’t burn out my muse like I have before. I’m just gonna be slow, generally, and I’m fine with that; I hope it’s okay with everyone else, too? Thanks, all, for your patience!

“You’re alright!” ( Jenna @ Danielle, maybe after being away for so long?)

Our muses thought the other had died during a battle or a disaster

“Uh- ha- yerp?”

After all... why shouldn’t she be?

Okay, so maybe that was underplaying it just a little bit; things had happened, after all, so she had no reason to be puzzled if Jenna was concerned for her. Dani had honestly wondered, in the midst of everything, what had happened to the red-furred adult, too; but she had found it hard to be too concerned. After all, the husky was probably tough, and used to bad weather and stuff; and, like Dad, could probably take care of herself.

Still, even Danielle had to admit, it was a relief to see the beautiful (sorry, what?) lady was also unharmed. The youngster bounded around her feet, little tail twitching back and forth as she did so.

“I mean, I was fine! Dad an’ Mom looked after us all pretty well! Didn’t know what had happened to you though, heh.”

She stopped bouncing in place, pausing to look up at Miss Jenna.

“But I figured you’d be okay! You’re bigger an’ stronger than any of us, anyway.”

“You’re alright!” (Red @ Angry)

Our muses thought the other had died during a battle or a disaster

“Red...”

She... she had thought...

Internally, Angry’s mind spun, trying to piece together what had happened. They’d accidentally crossed paths, again, with some of the Baron’s men, who had recognised them; they girls had been set upon, and they’d got separated... and though Angry herself had got away, she’d been horribly certain that her sister hadn’t been so lucky. She’d tried to creep back, afterwards, to find Red, only to overhear the men talking about how they’d at least taken care of one of the girls for the Baron.

And since she, obviously, hadn’t been ‘taken care of’, there had been only one, awful conclusion that Angry had been able to draw from that.

How she’d reacted, at the time, she couldn’t quite remember; but she’d been wandering in a daze ever since, hating herself for being unable to save the one person who had depended on her, and who had meant more to her than anyone in the world.

So here, now, seeing the other girl standing before her, clearly alive and apparently unharmed...

She was having trouble processing, or formulating any thought at all.

What she didn’t have trouble doing was immediately launching herself at Red in a tight hug. Angry wasn’t often a child who was physically demonstrative of affection... but there were just times...

“I thought they’d taken you. I thought...”

Her voice hitched, and she left the sentence unfinished.

And I’m DOING this thing.

From this point out, this blog is an archive; I’m not gonna delete it or change it. HOWEVER, all my muses and interactions are moving over to my main blog, newly renamed to take over from this one as the multimuse. I’m still doing a bit of cleaning up there, so don’t worry if not everything’s working right away, but...

Once I finish setting up, all threads and interactions will be continued over at @wherethemusetakesme​.

You’re welcome, of course, to jump over there and follow, since that’s where the action is gonna be from now on ^^ And I’ll make a proper promo in due course, naturally.

So I’m just thinking something.

Why do I have this blog as a *side blog*, again?

To all intents and purposes this blog, whereverthemusetakesme, is my main. It’s where 80% of my muses hang out; and even the ones who don’t hang out on this blog are, as of recently, included in my muse list with links to their own bogs, and still accept asks and memes here. To all intents and purposes, this has become my Main and my Hub, all in one.

And yet, it’s still a side blog, while my redundant old hub blog is my main, just to confuse everyone.

Now granted, this was the only option when all my muses had individual blogs; but now that’s no longer the case, I’m just feeling like this arrangement is a bit convoluted and redundant.

So I might just...

You know...

Archive this blog here, and turn my main blog (currently @everybodysxcute​) into BASICALLY a duplicate of what we have here. I just think it makes a ton more sense for this to be my main, instead of said main essentially just serving as a glorified redirect to here.

Forgive me a digression, but thinking on that last (old) ask I answered raised a concern for me:

Just how safe is Vanellope in Slaughter Race, anyway?

(disclaimer: I know I should just accept the ending of the movie as a happy ending for her as-is and not go digging into it. If anyone doesn’t want me to ruin it with overthinking, feel free to ignore this post! I just... the thought hit me, and now I morbidly wonder.)

I don’t mean the dangers in the game itself; if Shank did her job right, Vanellope will just respawn if something happens to her; not something I imagine is a pleasant experience but, naturally, survivable. But the thing that hit me is this:

Online games aren’t like Arcade games. Turbo, for example, was able to take over Sugar Rush without any human being any the wiser precisely because, so far as I’m aware, arcade cabinets don’t generally undergo a lot of internal maintenance. Once the game is bought and plugged in, if it runs as it should, no human is gonna go rooting around in the coding. Unless one of the programmers literally stopped by Litwak’s arcade and noticed a character they’d never designed on the roster screen, no-one would know anything was amiss.

But online games? They frequently undergo scheduled maintenance, bug fixes, updates... or at least, the one I played for several years did. And that means there’s a design team pretty constantly at work on it behind the scenes, up to their elbows in the code. What do you reckon one of them would do if, while fixing bugs or whatever, they notice a completely foreign NPC in the world that none of them designed?

I mean. I don’t know, in the Wreck-it Ralph world, how aware programmers are of the sentience of their creations. It’s something I wonder about Toy Story as well, do toy manufacturers in that world know that their products come alive?... but I digress even further. Could be that they’re well aware that these little pieces of code are fully ‘alive’ and wouldn’t get rid of one just like that... but on the other hand, who’s to say that WiR-world programmers are any different from real-world programmers, who have no need to take their characters ‘feelings’ into account because they aren’t (as far as anyone knows) alive or aware?

In the latter case, don’t you think they’d assume she’d been hacked in, possibly maliciously, and delete her code as soon as they could?

I... have several concerns for Vanellope now!

(( id imagine once vanellope got to slaughter race and stayed there, she's gotten a design change? ))

You know, I never really thought of that. On the one hand, it’s certainly possible; she doesn’t quite match the darker and grittier aesthetic of Slaughter Race in looks; and Shank is stated to be able to adapt the game’s code, so there’s no reason why she couldn’t help Vanellope whip up a new design for herself.

On the other hand, I’m not sure how I feel about that. I can’t really imagine our girl looking any different from how she does now; we know she’s comfortable in her Sugar Rush body, as of the end of the first movie, and also isn’t super appearance-oriented, so I can’t help but feel like she’d be 100% fine just continuing on as-is. We also know that game characters are warned against “messing with the program” when it’s not absolutely necessary, so that too might argue for her not undergoing any drastic change.

Though outside of that, I could perhaps see her going for a new outfit to mark her place in Shank’s gang, if nothing else? Though a good costume designer, I am not, so I couldn’t guess exactly how that would look.

Do you also 'Try' AU of your characters? I was thinking in suggest to 'Try' a Gothic or Dark Vanellope that never meet Ralph and in the end get depressed enough or decides that if everyone is against her, she will be against all.

Send me ‘Try’ and a character and I will write how I would play that character

She’d had it.

Had it, had it, HAD IT.

Taffyta ‘n the others all thought they could just push her around, stomp all over her, treat her like dirt? Like they always had done, for as long as she could remember? For, how many years had it been now? Fifteen? Twenty? Thirty?

They were about t’ learn that dirt could fight back.

For years. For years and years and YEARS she had, if not exactly let the other kids shove her around, then at least not put up a massive resistance in the hope that, maybe, they’d one day get bored of their game of trampling her self-worth into the dirt and just... accept her instead. She wasn’t asking a lot, even; she just wanted them to respect her, to acknowledge that she was just like one of them. Not some weird, different, diseased loser to shove around and take the piss of every time it suited them.

Yeah, that had gone just about as well as you’d expect.

But now? A certain line had been crossed; call it the candy straw that broke the camel’s back. The one final humiliation that tipped the poor girl over from just wanting to be accepted to...

Wanting something more satisfying than that.

Wanting to bring down on everyone else’s heads something of what they’d been doing to her all these years.

They deserved it, every single one of ‘em. Taffyta an’ Candlehead an’ Rancis. The other kids. His Royal Buttface King Candy. Everyone in this game who didn’t even have the slightest ounce of compassion for one tiny, lonely girl who just wanted someone to accept her.

...

So she'd to sabotaged the race track.

Not during game hours of course, she wasn’t dumb. But just before the next random roster race, she planned to deliberately collapse one of the crucial ramps right as the racers got to it, dumping into the taffy swamp below any of them unlucky enough to not stop in time. That stuff could gum up a car’s engine like nobody’s business, and was downright painful to remove when it got all over you, to boot - guess who she had to thank for finding that out, Taffyta - and honestly? She was feeling vengeful enough to enjoy every moment of the racers’ suffering.

Thanks to her many years of living rough, she knew this game inside and out in a way that no-one else did. If she wanted to, she could make life really miserable for everyone, then disappear in an instant, and they’d never be able to catch her.

And she wanted it. She’d played nice for far too long, even in the face of constant revulsion and ridicule and even outright cruelty. Now, it was time to play them at their own game.

It was a game she was sure to win.

Vanellope have you noticed Steven isn't himself lately?

The words ‘duh, kinda hard to miss’ were on her tongue; for once, however, Vanellope thought better of taking the first easy shot that came to mind. If she was gonna snark at Steven, she could at least not do him the disservice of doing so behind his back.

Instead, perhaps naturally, protective little sister instinct kicked into gear.

“What’s it to you anyway, nonnie? He’s just got a lot on his plate right now, that’s all.”

Silently, she ticked them off on her fingers: the cactus disaster, the proposal disaster, the hospital disaster, the road trip disaster... the way things kept going wrong for the poor guy at present, it was no wonder if he was feeling out of sorts.

“I mean... yeah, I’m worried about him. A bit. But he always bounces back fr’m everything; it’s not like he’s not gonna be able to this time, right?”

It just... seemed to be taking more of a toll on him than she’d ever seen, in the couple of years she’d known him. It was disconcerting, if she was downright honest; but she simply couldn’t imagine it possibly keeping him down for long.

Um... OOPS, I just rediscovered that I have some asks sitting in my inbox from a year, two years ago that I haven’t answered... I think most of them are past the point of being relevant now? Might still answer one or two of them, though...

And sorry to those who sent those asks! I didn’t mean to ignore you; I just wasn’t sure how to answer immediately, so I put them aside to come back to later... and completely forgot to do that thing.

I’m gonna try and be better about not doing that, in the future. Sorry, again! ^^;;

(Aaah, heck! Sorry, I know we have a lotta rps already) "W-what is this feeling?" (To Mabel from a very scared Sprocket, as she and Dex have been spotted! By who, is up to you :3

sock opera – gravity falls starters

“Ohhhh, yeah. That’s probably the feeling of getting turned to stone by a flying eyeball; you should watch out for those.”

The almost person-sized eyeball was fluttering nearby on its giant bat winds and staring intently at the two robots, casting a red light across the nearest of the pair and causing stone to slowly creep up their body. The effect was weak when not being powered by Weirdmageddon, but apparently still existed.

Who knew that it affected robots just as much as people?

“Shoo, go on! Shoo!”

Mabel shot her grappling hook at the eye-bat; apparently, that was enough deterrent for the winged eyeball, which abandoned its attempt to turn Sprocket into a statue of frozen agony and flitted off into the distance. Once satisfied with that, the girl turned her attention back to the robots with an apologetic shrug.

“Yeah, Weirdmageddon left some weird pests behind. You guys okay?”
