Smile -- Please?

@liddellvxndort

If there is one thing Smiler dislikes, it’s unhappiness. Especially when that unhappiness is infecting their loved ones. And double especially when the source of that unhappiness is some horrible dickhead who doesn’t comprehend that you don’t fucking assault people at parties, no matter how fucked up they might be.

So, as you might imagine, things being what they are, they’re a bit -- tense right now. The whole family is, honestly -- the atmosphere of the entire house has changed, post-incident. It feels sadder and angrier and just -- not right. Someone’s got to do something about it --

And Smiler intends to be that someone. Oh yes, they know that Alice and Victor have reached out to Madeline as well, tried to help, but their own baggage with this kind of thing complicates matters, unfortunately. They’re doing their best, they know that, but -- a different perspective may be what’s needed. Besides, they -- they just miss Maddie, really. She’s pulled away since the incident, and even though Smiler understands WHY, it still hurts. So they’re going to make an effort to cross the distance.

Which is how they got to her bedroom door, rapping gently on it. “Madeline? You in?”

What Makes Rollercoasters So Fun? A look at the science, psychology and design behind rollercoasters - with a focus on 'The Smiler'

I'm standing watching The Smiler at Alton Towers, one of the UK's most popular theme parks.

It's a one-of-a-kind steel rollercoaster which gives off an 'insanity' vibe; after all, the logo isn't a friendly, welcoming smile, but an ecstatic Cheshire cat grin which borders on the psychotic. The soundtrack that is blasting out is overly cheery and somewhat sinister, featuring repetitive, out-of-key chanting along to heavy, distorted beats. Carriages full of Alton Towers guests fly around the inverted track and the enraptured screams emanating from them bounce and curve with every loop.

I'm pointing my phone at a particular part of the track whilst waiting for my friends and partner to come rolling over - I'm filming in slow-mo mode, so that once they get off I can present to them their creasing faces and rippling hair as they are flung forwards at speeds of 85km per hour.

Once I review the footage, one thing is clear: the people on this ride are grinning ear-to-ear. It appears The Smiler does exactly what it says on the tin.

So why am I not on this ride? Put simply, I don't enjoy rides with a high G-force or inversions as much as I used to. I have never been a fan of suspended coasters either due to an experience I had at age 15 (warning: gross) when I embarked on a suspended rollercoaster with several loops and a jet of snot evacuated my nostril as I was thrown about all over the place. Although The Smiler isn't a suspended coaster, my friend warned me that if I thought that Nemesis (Alton Towers's fastest suspended coaster which I went on in 2010) 'was a bit much, you probably won't like this one' - so I decided to sit it out.

I didn't completely refrain from the rollercoasters, though. I still went on Galactica, Wickerman and Th13teen (which I particularly enjoyed). But these will still be considered pretty tame by the most extreme of thrill-seekers.

Rollercoaster Tycoon and real-world physics

Although I'm not crazy about riding intense rollercoasters, I still enjoy learning about what makes certain attractions so popular. I have been an avid Rollercoaster Tycoon fan since the age of 8/9 and on Steam I have racked up over 200 hours of playtime - that equates to over a week of my adult life spent trying to please tiny, whiney 2D theme park guests who all look identical.

Did you know that Rollercoaster Tycoon incorporates real-world physics to a T? When Scottish-born Chris Sawyer designed this game in the 90s, he wasn't messing around - for any coaster you're building, all the specs are there, such as lateral G-force, vertical Gs, inversions, drop height, etc.

In fact, the in-game physics of Rollercoaster Tycoon mirror reality so closely that if you perform a test which rollercoaster engineers use - the 'Brachistochrone Curve' - in the game, you get the same results as you would in reality.

If you want to build a successful rollercoaster in Rollercoaster Tycoon, you have to have some understanding of ride mechanics. For example, knowing how to ensure your ride will produce enough momentum so that a coaster car doesn't get stuck halfway round a loop; knowing how design makes a ride too intense or boring; but most importantly, knowing how to build a coaster that brings in THAT CASH MONEY.

So, how did John Wardley (designer of The Smiler) know it would be such a huge success? What is the science behind The Smiler and why is it so many peoples' favourite Alton Towers attraction?

Using The Smiler, I will examine three essential elements which are considered when constructing a mind-blowing coaster - the physical design of the ride, the way the ride makes guests feel and the theming used.

Let's twist again - Inversions and G-force

The Smiler has a record-breaking 14 inversions, the most of any rollercoaster in the world. Inversions come in a variety of shapes - loops, corkscrews, barrel rolls - and they create an exciting and intense ride when there's only so much building space available. Designer John Wardley said that the engineers “packed more track per meter of space in this ride than any other rollercoaster in the world", which probably explains why The Smiler is also one of the longest-lasting rollercoasters in the world, taking almost 3 minutes to complete a full circuit.

The Smiler also packs a whole lot of G-force thanks to the ride's drops, twists and turns; according to Wikipedia, The Smiler's G-force rating is a nail-biting 4.8 - keep in mind that astronauts experience a G-force of 3.0 during a rocket launch. Also keep in mind that supposedly 5 Gs is the limit a person can usually withstand before passing out. Perhaps this is why people exit The Smiler giddy and grinning like idiots - because the heavy Gs deprived their brains of oxygen.

A New Smiler Headcanon Related To The Takeover

Me: Oooh, I’m so excited to see these vlogs on The Smiler Takeover at Alton Towers! :D I can’t wait to get a glimpse of the shows and the themeing and all of that!

Me: [watches the videos and thoroughly enjoys all the Smiler stuff, including in particular the “Celebration” stage and Felix E. Lated the singer]

The Videos: [being negative about the event] And also the Felix E. Lated stuff sucks, even if the performer is doing his best. It’s way way too cheesy.

Me: [in a fit of pique] Well fuck you he’s Smiler’s uncle now.

Aaaaand -- yeah, that’s stuck. So, for any universe where Smiler is at least mostly human and has Matthew and Carol Alton for parents (Modern Human AU, Valicer in the Dark, the “As Long As You Love Me” sequel I’m working on), they now have Felix as their uncle. He’s Matt’s older brother, he’s a lounge singer or whatever equivalent is appropriate for the locale of the AU, and he uses “Felix E. Lated” as his stage name. And, based on his performance in the Takeover and what he’s wearing (a glittery gold jacket and shirt, black pants, and white shoes), I’d say he’s the inspiration for a) Smiler loving karaoke, b) Smiler’s fashion sense, and c) Smiler calling themselves “Smiler” (as they probably took a cue from the stage name). They are embracing the cheese and I am too, damn it. *hugs Felix*

y'know how jumpy tommy was in the amusement park vlog,, what if after the vlog they're hanging out at wilbur's place and wilbur keeps trying to scare him, eventually finding out tommy's ticklish :0

Scaredy Cat summary: wilbur was messing with tommy all day and trying to scare him, until he figured out something interesting a/n: i'm really sorry for not writing in a while D: expect more fics coming soon! like half of my inbox got cleared so feel free to send in requests :D also im working on adding titles to all my fics LOL warnings: swearing, jokes about unsafe roller coasters w/c: 1.2k IRL, Platonic

~

All day, Wilbur has just been a nuisance. Starting on the way to the amusement park, Wilbur was explaining to Tommy the dangers of roller coasters. Well- trying to; over Phil’s scolding, it was hard to continue to inform Tommy without bursting into laughter.

Though, because of his fear of roller coasters and Wilbur’s “information,” Tommy was on edge all day- jumping and getting startled at the smallest things; and Wilbur was not helping at all. “Are you okay, Tom? You’re really jumpy, dude.” Phil gave him a sympathetic smile, trying not to laugh when the boy angrily groaned. “I’m not jumpy!” He grumbled out, looking forward.

Wilbur heard this and let out a chuckle, before lunging at Tommy and faking it out. The poor blonde jumped then immediately crossed his arms. “Stoppit!” He whined, furrowing his eyebrows at both Wilbur and Phil’s chortles.

“Mate, you are definitely jumpy. Calm down, it's going to be okay!”

“It would be okay if the failure rate for roller co-”

“Will!”

Tommy groaned again, shoving Wilbur. “Shut up, bitch!” He exclaimed, Wilbur playfully laughing at him and Phil letting out a few chuckles with a shake of his head. “You two, I swear.” Phil wheezed, rolling his eyes.

“It’s not my fault that I’m angry, Wilbur is being a dic- AH- Will!” Tommy shrieked and bent down trying to catch himself after the taller one decided it would be funny to lunge at Tommy again. Wilbur wheezed, patting his back. “It’s okay Toms, you’ll be a lot more scared on ‘The Smiler’ later, bud!” He sniggered, earning another eye roll from Phil.

“Stop saying that, you dickhead!” Tommy muttered, Wilbur giggling to himself. All day at the amusement park was the same, Wilbur trying to push Tommy’s buttons and Phil scolding him about it while also trying to hold back his own chuckles.

Eventually, the day was ending, and after they all rode the final coaster named ‘The Smiler,’ they decided to walk towards the exit of the park. “Will, I hope you know that I hate you. Very much, in fact.” Tommy straightened his back, glaring to the side at him. “No, you doooon’t!” Wilbur sang, squishing his little brother into a side hug which earned a dramatic grumble from him.

“I swear I cannot take you guys anywhere.” Phil joked, smiling at them. “Yeah Tommy, we can’t take you anywh-”

“Will.”

“Yeah Will- STOP!” Tommy didn’t have time to sass him before being jumpscared, pouting as he climbed into the car to be temporarily safe from Wilbur jumping at him.

The car ride home was surprisingly quiet. It was a comfortable silence, though; as they were all a bit tired from spending all day at Alton Towers. As they got closer to Wilbur’s place, that’s when the chaos started up again.

“Hey Tommy, did you know that cars are even more dangerous than roller coasters?” He smirked as he kept his eyes on the road, laughing as he heard Tommy’s loud whine, leaning back in his seat with crossed arms. “You’re dead to me.” He muttered under his breath, Phil picking up on what he said with a chortle.

When they got back to Wilbur’s place, Tommy was the first to run in and lay on the couch, finally not in a vehicle of some sort. The other two came in after him, snickering at the sight of Tommy sprawled out on the couch.

Wilbur grinned, tip-toeing up to the couch and reaching over to squeeze his side. Instead of the surprised shriek he expected, he was met with unexpected cackles. “What? Is being scared all of a sudden funny?” He asked with an amused look, putting his hands on his hips. “It’s not fuhunny!” Tommy complained, rubbing his side to get rid of the sudden after-tingles.

“Then why are you laughing- ohhh…I see...” Wilbur smiled at his realization. His little brother was a little ticklish, supposedly. “I don’t like that tone, Will. I don’t like it at ahAHAHALL- Nohoho!” Tommy burst into loud laughter at the hands that were attached to his lower ribs, squeezing gently. “Ah, so you are ticklish! I was wondering for a while!” Wilbur exclaimed innocently, smiling fondly at the boy.

“Sh- shuhut up! Phihil hehelp meheheheeee!” Tommy whined through his giggle fit, throwing his head back as his ‘attacker’s hands moved to his waist right above his hips. “I’m good, mate. I’m gonna go order pizza, does that sound good?” Phil asked, looking at the menu on his phone.

“Yeah! Tommy and I will share a pepperoni pizza!” Wilbur talked to Phil like he wasn’t tickling Tommy at the time, making it even worse for the blond. “Wilbuhuhur!” He complained again, weakly pushing at his hands but they didn’t budge. “Oh, sorry! Don’t worry, my full attention is on you now!” Wilbur smirked, fluttering his nails over the sides of his stomach, Tommy’s t-shirt not providing much protection.

“SHIHIHIT! YOHohou bihiHITCH!” He squealed, jerking away from the fingers which found his hips. “Hey hey hey! I wouldn’t be so mean, Toms, I think I just found a good spot!” The taller devilishly sniggered, lightly drilling his thumbs into the bundle of nerves on his hip bones. Tommy screeched, accidentally arching up more into the tickles and hitting at his hands. “WHIHIHHIY?!” Loud belly laughter poured out of him, making both Wilbur and Phil smile at the genuine laughter.

“Because I like your laugh, Tommy! Also- you kinda deserve it after calling me a bitch all day…” He tried to sound upset from it, but couldn’t hold back his chuckles from Tommy’s embarrassed high-pitched giggles. “N- NOHOHOHO!” Tommy wheezed, shaking his head as his laughter turned hiccupy at Wilbur’s fingers skittering up his ribs, scribbling in between the grooves of his upper ribs; which earned screamy laughter from the boy.

“Uh ohhhh~, bad spot, Tommy?” Wilbur teased, his fast fingers turning into just gliding his nails around his ribs which surprisingly raised Tommy’s laughter. Wilbur teasingly chuckled, tracing random shapes into his ribs before unexpectedly shooting them up to scribble into Tommy’s underarms, the hands that were previously covering his face shooting down.

Wilbur managed to pull out his hands from Tommy’s iron grip, smiling at him before scribbling them over his stomach once again.

“N’awww, there’s that smile! Tickle tickle tickle, Tommy!” That absolute bitch. Tommy could not stand any baby talk, as his pink face began to turn into a bright red. Wilbur, clearly amused by this, continued to use the same technique. “What’s wrong? Does somebody have a little ticklish tummy? Hmmm?” He cooed in that horrible baby voice, grinning at him.

“Alright you two, quit it! I need to call to order the pizza!” Phil yelled from the kitchen, Wilbur sighing but slowing his fingers. “Thahank g- gohohod!” Tommy continued to giggle just from the adrenaline of being wrecked, curling up into a ball once Wilbur got off of him.

“Don’t worry Tommy, I’ll make sure to continue after dinner!” He laughed, patting Tommy’s head and going to walk to the kitchen. Tommy smiled to himself at that, immediately covering his face after. Wilbur was evil, but was he ever going to complain about that? Probably not.

Feels like I need to be a bit more clear. When I said “Killjoys need joy” I mean in the same way ratcatchers need rats or fish canneries need fish.

Smiler: Well, of course, everything needs joy.

Victor: I think you're deliberately misinterpreting what they're saying now.

Smiler: I do understand it. But I'm not going to let it stop me from spreading joy around. It does bring up the interesting question of, do killjoys enjoy killing joy? Meaning that they may be experiencing joy and thus negating what they do?

Alice: [to the anon] Sorry, they're part of a cult that venerates happiness, so...

Is it awkward in an ot3 when two of the partners accidentally hold hands when trying to grabs the third partner’s butt at the same time?

what are the ot3's pet names for each other?

Alice: Well, I've gotten into the habit of calling Victor "darling," and he tends to call me "love." And Smiler often refers to me as their "bestie," while I often refer to them as "goofball."

Smiler: [grinning] And I call Victor whatever pops into my head, and he calls me --

Victor: [softly] Sunshine.

Smiler: [blinks, looks at Victor]

Victor: [rubs the back of his head] It's -- you know the song, "You Are My Sunshine?" I -- I was thinking about it, and -- [shrug] You -- you are. My sunshine.

Me: Is the natural state of the soul quiet or chaos?

Taco Bell cashier: Look buddy, it’s transient, shifting like water.

Alice: It probably also depends a lot on the particular owner of the soul. In my experience, some souls are more inclined to quiet, and others to chaos.

Remember, in America Pudding refers to sweet, milk-based desserts akin to custard or mousse, instead of sweet and/or savoury dishes.

Smiler: So American pudding is a very specific kind of pudding, instead of just general pudding. So remember that when you ask for pudding!

(Valicer In The Dark) Let me see if I got this straight, you're telling me the Sun blew up almost nine centuries ago and the planet didn't go with it? Like it wasn't engulfed in the flames like all nearby planets tend to do within range of a sun exploding?

Alice: Nope -- otherwise we wouldn't be here. Mind you, I don't know how the Immortal Emperor stopped that from happening, but -- well, he is hailed as the most magically-gifted human in all of creation.

Smiler: Probably a bunch of the local gods came together and helped too -- I'm sure Mar-Mal wouldn't have stood by and watched our planet be engulfed in flames! That's about the saddest thing that could happen to a world!

Victor: Mmm...I guess it is also worth noting that none of us know how much of the world he saved. The farthest country anyone knows of is Tycheros, and even that we could build a rail line to.

Smiler: Still better than nothing surviving.

Victor: Oh, yes, of course.
