BURNOUT RAAAAHHH I LOVE HE
So this is my Wreck-It Ralph oc. His name is Burnout and he's a scraped TurboTime oc concept based on the idea of a Player 2 character.
More of his lore below along with goofy ass art of him
During development, the game devs had thought about making it a 2 player game but later scraped the idea when they realized the cost of making two player cabinets. But when they went to delete his code, they realized he was deeply ingrained into the game as without his code, the game wouldn't work. Think the coconut from the TF2 game files. So he was left in the game but his playability removed. He would then live in TurboTime as an unplayable character but very in tune with the games code and ends up sort of like the troubleshooter and repairman of the game's code. By this, he does know how to code though does so in a more command prompt fashion, able to summon up the window and input codes. An interesting thing about Burnout's code is that it was still early in development when he was scraped. At the time he was just a copy paste of Turbo's code and sprite. Some of his code and mechanics had been tweaked to have him always burnout at the start of the race before launching forward in a burst while his sprite was made to resemble a crash test dummy. His voice is even Turbo's but pitched down. Burnout does suffer a lot with his sense of individuality and hates being compared to or mistaken for Turbo. You'd think being more chill and a bit feral while being bright orange would keep that from happening but there's still a lot of Turbo in him. Also he and Turbo do not consider each other brothers by any sense. They are friends and have a rivalry during the closing hours. He does end up homeless post the Roadblasters incident, living in Game Central for a while. He still suffers from mistaken identity as people keep mistaking him for Turbo but now it comes with a sadly warranted fear along with people fearing he'll end up like Turbo and game jumping. During this time, he just spends most of it at Tapper's during closing hours, developing a drinking problem. But when Burnout does end up in Sugar Rush, he naturally can pick out the voice that is basically his own and blackmails KC into letting him hang around. Burnout does implement himself as a racer, finally living his dream of being a playable character and being on the track during day time hours. He takes on a toasted marshmallow themed appearance by the name of Burnes Mallowvich and is sometimes on the roster. In terms of how he feels about Vanellope, he feels bad for her since he knows what it's like to be stripped of your purpose and kept from it. He likes to sneak her rides on his kart though does avoid the finish line. He's like a weird uncle.
Now for random ass art and doodles
adorable dad thing today: watching the man cook
for context, when he was a young college student he worked at a fancy restaurant in the middle of nowhere. From time to time he pulls out his skills from that restaurant whether it's cooking or random waiter things or whatnot. He absolutely loves cooking. He's so good at it too.
And, I don't know, there's just something about it. Him opening the oven to pull out three pans of golden beautiful enchiladas made with such specificity and love. Enough to feed his family for two days and also a couple of young adults who were stopping by for food. The love. Small batch huge heart. So much care.
He used to hate complex foods. He used to be a horrible picky eater who didn't like tomatoes or mushrooms or anything red or anything grown up. (This was before I knew him, but I know stories.) He used to hate cooking. And then, to be a dad, he learned. He learned for work to support his family and then he learned for love to feed his family. And decades later he's still at it. And it's incredible. I cannot fathom food as good as my dad's.
Forget adorable. My dad is precious.
Nobody told me how to mentally prepare or even recover from seeing Joe Keery in person. I just went back to re-watching Stranger Things after seeing him in person. And man. Like my brain is truly altered. The little mental voice whispering, “Hey. We’ve actually seen that guy. You’ve actually TOUCHED him.”
All my senses just heighten to a crazy awareness.
And I’m just watching a show in bed. I’m looking at him through a screen, on my favorite TV show, acting as one of my favorite characters. It breaks part of my brain in the best way. And the fact I get to see him live again, TWO MORE TIMES.
It feels almost out of body at times.
I think if he ever spoke directly to me, another part of my brain would fracture. Because I have such respect for the dude. Acting, musically, as a human being. Joe Keery’s the man. And what’s more? It feels familiar even. Almost like soul recognition.
I feel immensely grateful 🥰❤️
