more of a reason to think of him when listening to villain by Teniwoha 🥴
King Candy's Trans Coding (hear me out)
The fact Turbo could've coded any look for himself, and yet he went with King Candy, an identity that embraces aspects of femininity. Gender nonconformity probably wasn't the intention- his design has more of a focus on being royal. Aka. "I'm superior to everyone." But even those outfits are more feminine-leaning, with the tights and frilly-lace fabric y'know. Not to mention his mannerisms. Being a silly clown guy is Not in fact a part of the gender binary
Also Turbo never seemed uncomfortable with his new identity as King Candy, and not only did he embrace it- He was OBSESSED with it. He put his FACE on EVERYTHING.
like what the fuck even is this.
But one thing for sure is that King Candy doesn't resemble anything like his old self. That might've been out of necessity to stay hidden, but the "hiding old self and presenting in a new way" theme is Still There. And that new presentation happens to incorporate aspects of gender expression his previous identity did Not have. (am i looking too deep into this? perhaps.)
OH BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.
I find it interesting King Candy was never appalled by his new Cybug form. Cuz when encountering Ralph it was never: LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME...
It was: LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME :)
it was EUPHORIC for him. Because he IS a monster. "BECAUSE OF YOU RALPH, I'M NOW THE MOST POWERUL VIRUS IN THE ARCADE!!" This form finally reflects his true self and what brings him the most joy. and that just so happens to mean being parasitic, powerful, and sadistic. which. well he should work on that
But what matters is he's in a drastically different body now and he LOVES IT. this is literally the HAPPIEST he's been ALL MOVIE.
Is That Not a form of Identity/Gender Euphoria.... ? ??
turbo is evil trans coded you can't convince me otherwise. also i wish i was him

Cory Loftis / Digital
Ok so wow. this concept art. The code room was originally gonna be in the depths of the castle where all the sugar coating has eroded away... and the passcode would've been a slot machine!!!
Casinos were actually the precursor to arcades by decades- slot machines are what arcade cabinets essentially evolved from. So having a slot machine here is like... the ancient texts....... and I fucking love that so much.
Learned from this video essay if ur interested :]
Lorelay Bove, Doug Ball / Digital
NOT TO MENTION Early concepts for King Candy's entire throne room LOOK BARBARIC. Its incredibly dungeon-like and reflective of his true personality, and his rule over Sugar Rush with an iron fist.
LOOK HOW HUGE THE CROWN IS ABOVE HIS THRONE. These levels of narcissism shouldn't even be possible...
Of course this isn't what we got in the final film- beautiful, sparkly and unassuming. Because he's always putting up a front.
"...And because King Candy is not the real king, we thought it would be funny to cover the whole castle in sugar coating just like him."
-Lorelay Bove (visual development artist)
but hold on..... replacing the giant crown.... is....
is that a tiara?
oh. oh it so is. This is straight up just Vanellope's room.
I like the theory (not mine) that King Candy was never able to change the code to Vanellope's room for some reason, so he has to put up with it being pink. (hence why he corrects it to "salmon") how is this man still feeling confined by gender norms just admit that you like pink. you have sparkles on your vest and you make it WORK.
Anyways I think the barbaric dungeon-like throne room is what he. WANTED it to look like. But alas. when you steal the life of a little girl you're gonna get the ROOM of a little girl
