thank you @ideligo you have saved me /silly. unfortunately i only somewhat regularly listen to mother mother and have heard a collective 5 seconds between hozier and florence + the machine

also oh my god i literally listen to NO ONEEEE i was getting desperate and thats why the rhps soundtrack was on there because i genuinely needed one more thats how few artists i listen to 😶 as it is, i barely listen to some of the others-

anyway go my tagged mutuals (three of which are polycule members, and three are irl friends-)

MUSIC TIME thanks @festivepuppetryy for the music we have very different tastes

If you are a video game character in the universe of Wreck It Ralph, once your particular cabinet is plugged in you are born with an innate knowledge of a past you share with every other version of you, but eventually as you interact with other games after hours you just become more jaded and the events you play out every day become less and less meaningful as time goes on?

In the first movie before Felix gives Calhoun the context about what “going Turbo” means, he remarks on the fact that Hero’s Duty had just been plugged in recently. So at the point he meets Calhoun, he has effectively existed for DECADES and every experience he has had with other games and character has done pretty much nothing other than make him come to terms with the fact that his game just isn’t real. Calhoun takes her game so seriously not just because it’s her personality, but because newly plugged in characters just have an innate sense of their canon responsibilities that goes away with time.

Calhoun has real PTSD and trauma of her past that never happened and is not unique to her, and I suppose that as she continues to exist in the arcade she’ll begin to realize that the EVENT never happened but still have to exist with the PERMANENT PTSD that’s been programmed into her forever.
