Candlehead: The World's Cutest Pyromaniac by TheBlueJetpack on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Even with her favourite candle aglow in her favourite flavour of frosting, Candlehead is not the brightest bulb in the box. She’s ditzy and naïve, not to mention quite the klutz. But smarts don’t matter nearly as much as a wholesome heart does. Candlehead is the happiest, most content girl of Sugar Rush despite her struggles and imperfections. We can all learn a lot from Candlehead. In fact, her simple-minded ways of perceiving the world enable her to deliver a surprising bit of wisdom every now and then. While not always great at reading the room, Candlehead’s strength lies in her ability to effortlessly turn anyone’s bad day into a good one, and sometimes that’s all we really need. As far as she is concerned, every day is a birthday. So there is always a reason to smile…and eat cake!

I can only describe Candlehead as a treasure trove of comic relief. She is not just endearing, but a barrel of uncontrollable laughs. She was the second racer whom I chose to focus on in fanfiction way back in 2019, and now ‘Candlehead gags’ are some of my most anticipated elements when it comes to writing. She is also used as a way to bring the audience together in her most emotional states. She can’t help but do that.Another entry for the Chews Your Racer series of sketchdumps where I dedicate all attention to a select one of Sugar Rush’s racers! Who do you want to see next?
