turbugWHAT THE ACTUAL HELL
Okay! So this started out with my friend![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
strawbearyevil, who wanted an interesting way to play King Candy post-movie for her Tumblr RP blog, king-of-confections. She had the thought of him coming back as an insane glitchy King Candy/Cy-Bug/Turbo mashup, which my other friend genalovestoons and I (adorablyrotten) instantly loved. Not only did we do fan art of it, but all three of us started bouncing around even more thoughts and ideas for this concept.
And well, now here we are!
So how'd he come back?
As Sonic tells us, when you die outside your own game, you don't regenerate. Why you don't is because when you enter a foreign game, so does your code. If you die in another game, your code doesn't know how to regenerate you, so you simply stay dead. This is because you're, well, not natively part of that game.
When Turbo took over Sugar Rush, he didn't just mess with the game's code to brainwash everyone and put on a disguise - he actually wrote himself INTO Sugar Rush itself, doing this by writing the entirely new King Candy personality/appearance.
Basically, King Candy is part of Sugar Rush, since Turbo was able to write him into it, but Turbo isn't. However since they're both part of the same base code (Turbo's code), the regeneration did eventually happen. When it did, it didn't exactly... work right. I like the termperimetercheck coined: "Code Zombie." Hehehe!
What's with the switching between King Candy and Turbo?
As mentioned above, when Turbo wrote himself into Sugar Rush, he did so by creating the King Candy persona, and writing that on top of his base code. This means they are actually two separate personalities; Turbo BECAME King Candy, bubbly flamboyant mannerisms and all, in order blend perfectly into the game, and that way no one would suspect he didn't belong there or who he really was. The original Turbo code and personality were obviously still very much there though, underneath.
When the regeneration happened, it attempted erroneously to put all three pieces of his code (King Candy, Turbo, and now the added Cy-Bug) back together, resulting in the glitch abomination he is now but also a sort of Jekyll and Hyde effect. The King Candy side is still bright and cheery but now a stuttering, babbling, mad laughing loon who can hardly remember anything. Meanwhile the Turbo side is angry, hateful, psychotic and more likely to remember things.... or in constant unspeakable misery, pain, and suffering from what he's become, wishing it all would just end. Dying permanently would've been a merciful fate compared to this...
His eyes are static. Is he blind?
Mostly blind. About the only thing he can see is very bright lights, which King Candy, now part Cy-Bug, absolutely adores.
So this an AU?
Not... reeeeeally? Then again I have possibly an odd definition of AUs. I see AUs as when something in the canon is changed as opposed to just elaborated on, so I define Glitch!King Candybug/Turbo as an EC (Extended Canon) rather than an AU, since he's pretty much just a post-movie King Candy/Turbo. Something that could maybe pop up in the sequel! For simplicity's sake though, I guess you could call him an AU, even if he isn't really "alternate."
I SUDDENLY UNDERSTAND JACK SQUAT
Any other questions, feel free to ask them here and I'll do my best to answer~!
