"I'm doin' this for your own good." by Eph 5:8

Her gaze shifted from Ralph to the kart and back again. She stopped struggling for a moment as the horrible truth dawned on her. "Wait, wait, wait..."

He was curling his fingers and tightening his massive hands into fists. Her stomach dropped as she watched the hands rise, up, up, up, in slow motion, like in a terrible nightmare.

"No...no...no no no NO, NO, NO--PLEASE, RALPH, NOOOOO!!!"

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 1:57 am

Let's see, I had a month to work on this, spent a total of three hours, and posted it just a couple of days before the deadline... Do I win the Procrastinator's Award of Laziness?

^Yep

tinyWaffles

07 Mar, 2014, 2:03 am

Lol you definitely hit the tragic mark though, looks awesome. This was probably my favorite scene from the movie. So emotion-filled :3

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 2:10 am

If by 'favorite' you mean 'totally heartwrenching', then yes, I'd have to agree. :P

Hm. I feel like that extra transparent layer of black wasn't necessary.

tinyWaffles

07 Mar, 2014, 2:24 am

Oh definitely. I tend to favor (not necessarily enjoy) those "heartwrenching" scenes. Well written things make me happy :)

I rather like it, adds that extra tragedy go it.

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 2:34 am

I kept rewatching this scene for reference when I was making this. It damaged my feels for a while.

tinyWaffles

07 Mar, 2014, 2:41 am

Ooooh that had to be tough. I was almost yelling "It's for your own good!!!" at Vanellope the whole time. My mom was around and I didn't wanna freak her out though....

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 2:46 am

I like how after Vanellope utters the worst (best) line in the movie ("You really are a bad guy"), there's this heavy sound effect like thunder or something dropping. It emphasizes the weight and the impact of her words... Yeah, I kind of notice stuff like this. :P

PariZade

07 Mar, 2014, 2:46 am

I hated that conflicting feeling where it was like "NOOO DUN DO IT RALPH!" and "VANELLOPE PLZ LISTEN CHU COULD DIIIIIE!"
I think that's what made it heart-wrenching.

PariZade

07 Mar, 2014, 2:48 am

Ooooh bet i can make an entry in a day!

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 2:55 am

Oh, I know! It put both of them in pain and to see the two characters you've gradually built up feelings for being simultaneously hurt is awful.

You should, haha! I'm sure our lovely contest host Kiraichu would like that!

tinyWaffles

07 Mar, 2014, 2:56 am

Haha, my heart sunk so low at that moment. In my head I was patting Ralph on the back saying "She doesn't mean it Ralph, she just doesn't know." Gosh this movie had so many feels!

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 3:00 am

I don't think she even put up much of a fight when you-know-who came along to lock her up, because of how heartbroken she was...

tinyWaffles

07 Mar, 2014, 3:06 am

I know right? I couldn't even be mad at her for it. Everything she did made too much sense.

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 3:11 am

Fifteen years without a friend, being treated like dirt, then finally discovering a friend/big brother who wants to help you make your dream come true--then it turns out that he's (supposedly) a traitor who won't hesitate to smash your dreams to bits so he can go home with a medal.

Ow. I think I hurt myself again.

Kiraichu

07 Mar, 2014, 3:15 am

Welllllll. There goes my feelings. I thought I let it go but you reminded me just how bad her life was. Such a strong little one.

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 3:20 am

And yet, there are rather sadistic Vanellope-haters in this fandom. Interestingly enough, they tend to be the same people who obsess over Turbo...

tinyWaffles

07 Mar, 2014, 3:21 am

Grrr, right in the feels. This is probably the first movie since How to Train Your Dragon that gave me the tinglies throughout the whole thing.

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 3:23 am

Ugh, yeees... I wish this movie had more love. But hey, it is what it is, as Ralph would say.

tinyWaffles

07 Mar, 2014, 3:35 am

I did feel it was rather sad for a "kid's" movie. Still amazing all in all.

Kiraichu

07 Mar, 2014, 3:37 am

People actually hate her!? She's a dreamer that literally built a kart with her little hands just to race. She kept strong for fifteen painful years and STILL forgave all those who opressed her and denied her existence. Despite all that she went through she still manages to smile and keep optimistic. She is the one character that actually inspired me.

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 3:40 am

I think most Disney movies are like that, actually. There's usually some part in each movie that makes me cry. Maybe even multiple parts. But WIR made me cry three times in its course, and I hadn't even known anything about the movie before I watched it. Unlike now, when I'm such a Disney freak that I knew about Frozen and looked forward to it like a year in advance... :P

But yeah. It was Wreck-It Ralph that began my love for Disney.

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 3:44 am

THANK YOOUU, KIRAICHU. I agree with everything you just said and I want to quote it and frame it and paste it to the windows of the homes of those people who idolize Turbo and Taffyta and all that.

tinyWaffles

07 Mar, 2014, 3:46 am

Honestly at first I didn't really like Vanellope, but after really getting to know her, I understand a whole lot better why you like her so much. She's such an awesome imspiration!

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 3:53 am

If there's one thing I need movie people NOT to do, it's overpromote the cutesy comic relief character before the movie's release. In the trailers, all they showed was Vanellope's snarky, bratty side with all the duty jokes and it was really rather grating.

PariZade

07 Mar, 2014, 3:54 am

I liked when, the first time I watched it, Vanellope said "Well now it's M-Y-M-MY-M-YY-MY ticket!" and glitched when she took the medal. I was like "WHOAWHOAWHOAWAAAAAT!?"
I had no idea she was a glitch until Taffyta mentioned it after she uncovered Vanellope's car.

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 3:59 am

Oh, yeah, totally. I wish there was some way for me to watch it for the first time again. XD

Maybe this sounds slow, but I never actually realized anything weird about Vanellope being on the side of the game cabinet until Ralph confronted Sour Bill about it. :P

PariZade

07 Mar, 2014, 3:59 am

I actually only knew that Ralph didn't wanna be the bad guy, and he left his game, and he shook hands with a little girl, and there was some creepy clown-like dude [King Candy].
Huh... is it just me, or does that cake-smashing scene at the beginning remind anyone of the Ester episode of VeggieTales?

Kiraichu

07 Mar, 2014, 3:59 am

Hi, Yurieeeee!! :D
I will do better than that. I'll draw out why she should at least be respected, Eph. Oh by thw way. I'm doing the drawing right now and devil dogs I hate drawing treees. XD

tinyWaffles

07 Mar, 2014, 4:00 am

The trailers honestly made me not wanna watch the movie. Glad Kiraichu told me to watch it though. Definitely had no idea what sort of character she was until Taffyta mentioned it. A real surprise

PariZade

07 Mar, 2014, 4:02 am

Yeah, I was like "*gasp!* I KNEW IT NO I DIDN'T"

tinyWaffles

07 Mar, 2014, 4:08 am

Kiri-chan!! I wanted to put trees in my contest entry, but yeah, didn't work out so well...

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 4:09 am

All I knew was that it was a Disney movie about video games and it had Eggman and Bowser in it. I honestly wouldn't have seen it if my dad hadn't decided to take me. See, I was going through this weird thing where I was mad at Disney because I thought they were going to buy Hasbro and I was a huge MLP person back then...

Huh, oh yeah. Never thought of Esther. It's different though--the only similarity is a cake being smashed.

Kiraichu

07 Mar, 2014, 4:09 am

The trailers were lackluster. It didn't capture the awesome of the movie. I like that she became president. Leaves so much flr a sequel than becoming a typical princess. :p

PariZade

07 Mar, 2014, 4:12 am

Sorry, just the cake-smashing was what I meant. It's kinda funny how different the scenes are, like you said, yet it ends in cake on everyone, one caused by hamhands, the other by a piano.
Ah, cake-smashing...

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 4:14 am

The Nostalgia Critic made a complaint against princesses and mentioned how Vanellope became princess in stereotypical fashion, and I wanted so badly to be like "YES BUT SHE CHANGED IT TO PRESIDENT OF HER OWN WILL"

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 4:15 am

A lost temper vs. an attempt of mur.der on the king via death by piano. :P I was too busy thinking about that aspect of it.

Kiraichu

07 Mar, 2014, 4:21 am

Trees are evil, Yurie. It's why I haven't posted this entire weeeeek!

Eph that's correct. I was like " She's so awesome. She's no princess. She's Vanellope Von Schweetz!! A warrior who has candy as hair decorations!"

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 4:28 am

My friend is insistent on her beliefs that WIR shouldn't get a sequel, because she thinks they'll ruin it. While there may be some possibility to that statement, not EVERY sequel is bad. Some might even be better than the original film. *loudly points to Toy Story 3* GOOD SEQUELS ARE A THING.

But...it probably won't happen. At least not soon. They'd probably make Frozen a sequel first, seeing as Frozen's where the money's at right now. But some time ago, Kiraichu and I were discussing WIR sequel ideas...

PariZade

07 Mar, 2014, 4:32 am

Ooooo liek wat?

Kiraichu

07 Mar, 2014, 4:35 am

Oh. Those were awesome ideas. We still got a lot. The video game world is massive. For them not to make a sequel would be tragic. Besides. I kinda want a Vanellope a GOOD video game like where she discovers what else she can do with her glitching. If she gets popular enough maybe she will. One can dream. :p

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 4:37 am

Well, first we were talking about what would happen if Litwak's arcade shut down. You don't see many arcades around anymore. And if the cabinets were all being sold off to collectors, so they had an obligation to stay in their games.

Then, we talked about if there was this bad glitch but Vanellope was convinced he was just misunderstood and stuck up for him, thus turning people against her...

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 4:40 am

The WIR movie video game was...bad. The only perk it had were the two cutscenes and whatever dialogue it had.

PariZade

07 Mar, 2014, 4:45 am

OMG THAT GAME.
I never made it past the first levels in any of the stages. If I did, I gave up anyway.
That game has now been SOLLLLLLD!

Kiraichu

07 Mar, 2014, 4:46 am

I aspire to be a game designer to try making video games based on movies actually good. We also discussed that maybe they can travel via the internet through a charging cable of a 3ds or something while it's plugged in. Oh the feels it will bring to Ralph if the arcade closes and he can't see his favorite president anymore.

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 4:50 am

Oh no. Emotions. Oh no. Depressed Ralph. OH NO.

...I'm not the only one who likes making my favorite characters depressed, right?

PariZade

07 Mar, 2014, 4:52 am

DDD: You guys are starting to give ME feels again...
Stahp iiiiiiit!

Kiraichu

07 Mar, 2014, 5:00 am

We tend to do that. Well especially Eph. Don't worry Eph some of us need a little bitter with all the Schweetz right? Get on board the Feel Train. I can feel it!

tinyWaffles

07 Mar, 2014, 5:03 am

I feel like I've missed so much in the short time that I haven't been con.nected to a wi-fi network.
(-_- why is that word inappropriate.) I was really pleased with the fact that Vanellope became president instead of princess. It wouldn't have fit her character at all.

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 5:05 am

Me? Feels? Oh please. I've never hinted towards feels in my life. I've never drawn Vanellope getting sucked into a black hole, I've never talked about Calhoun's tragic backstory, I've never painted Ralph wrecking the kart, and I've ESPECIALLY not written short literary passages in the descriptions of each, hoping to elicit pathos from my viewers.

...Okay, you got me.

PariZade

07 Mar, 2014, 5:08 am

DUN TALK 'BOUT FROZEN I NO HAVE SEEN IT YEEEEEET!
I helped make SOME feels in #WoY with my charrie kissing Tux ['nother Nomad] in front of the ever Tux-possessing Bow. Ninji [ChibiNel] had her face in such a way that almost everyone commented using the word "feels".
Lookit #BowTheStarNomad to see it. it's towards the beginning, and the pic before it adds to the feels.

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 5:11 am

SSSHHHHHH DON'T TALK ABOUT FROZEN GUYS. I once drew an elaborate grumpy Ralph just to express my displeasure over being spoiled for Frozen.

PariZade

07 Mar, 2014, 5:14 am

I'm making sure to avoid as many Frozen pics as possible...

tinyWaffles

07 Mar, 2014, 5:15 am

Doo liss let me know what you think of it when you see it. I'm curious to hear the opinions of a few other people.

PariZade

07 Mar, 2014, 5:25 am

It's Zade. My user is Doo liss as a Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door joke called #DooplissStoleMyBody
It's fun. Doopliss is fun.
He told me to say that.

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 5:26 am

It's still in theaters. Also the DVD release is in two weeks. So yes. Hurry if you can.

PariZade

07 Mar, 2014, 5:31 am

I've gtg to bed now...
My mom's been trying to find time so we can watch it, so maybe idk.
Bye! *essplodes*

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 5:36 am

Oh, no! Can someone help me with this...essplosion over here? :P

Kiraichu

07 Mar, 2014, 5:36 am

How'd they spoil it, Eph!!? It's hard to spoil things for me because I forget I get spoiled as soon as the movie starts. :p I should do more Schweet Action drawings. -.-

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 5:40 am

Well, there was a plot twist and I was told about the plot twist so I knew about the plot twist so I wasn't surprised by the plot twist and when the plot twist happened the rest of the theater was like *GASP* and I just seethed in my seat because I had been told the plot twist and was expecting the plot twist so for me the plot twist wasn't even a plot twist. The end.

Kiraichu

07 Mar, 2014, 6:03 am

Oh no, Eph. 0-0 If only someone had saved you. Hey Eph if I somehow got a free code for Pokemon would you try it!?

Eph 5:8

07 Mar, 2014, 6:21 am

I see what you did there.

Sorry, I'm kinda ignorant. ^-^; What do you mean by a free code?

Kiraichu

07 Mar, 2014, 7:05 am

This month only if one purchases certain games that person gets access to a free Pokemon X or Y download code that cam share it with someone. I'm planning to buy ome if those games and was wondering if you'd be interested in tryimg out Pokemon. It doesn't matter to me if you like it ir not because I already have a copy :p

Kiraichu

07 Mar, 2014, 2:10 pm

My schweet gods my grammar was horrid in that comment. *Ashamed*

Eph 5:8

08 Mar, 2014, 12:04 am

Well, I guess I'd be willing to give it a try. Heh.

Kiraichu

08 Mar, 2014, 2:16 am

Well if you don't want to it's fine. I don't want to force you to play something. ^-^

Eph 5:8

08 Mar, 2014, 4:46 am

If it's free, I'll probably try it. :P

Kiraichu

08 Mar, 2014, 5:02 am

It totally is. ha Plus if you get into it it'll be because I brought Pokemon into your Vanellope filled life. :D

Purplily

08 Mar, 2014, 1:27 pm

Ooh, this is the part. Oh man that part was heartbreaking. I usually give in to these sort of parts. I really like how you painted this. :] You set the whole drawing perfectly to the actual scene. I also like how you did the shadows and details... everything! :D Awesome job, Ephisians!

Purplily

08 Mar, 2014, 1:29 pm

Reply to my last painting: Oh thank your comment/critique! I really appreciate it, really! :) Thank you very much.

Eph 5:8

08 Mar, 2014, 4:27 pm
