Headcannon that since the Tron games canonically exist in the Tron universe they have a modest Fandom. It's a very old Fandom from the 80s but sees resurgences due to the efforts of the Flynn Lives movement. You have your very old Fandom members that just love to play and replay the games.

But you also have your younger Fandom that's there for the ships. The most popular fic is of course TronXNort. Nort is a copy of Tron that wa turned evil and after shenanigans they fall in love. The fics and fanart range from fluff to hard-core smut.

Unfortunately, everyone is using Alan Bradley as their model for their art since he was the model for the promo material on the original game.

Jet Bradley, while trolling the internet unfortunately stumbles across this portion of the Fandom. He will never ever find enough eye bleach to cleanse the image of a cartoon rendition of his father making tender love to another cartoon rendition of his father, just with red eyes and a flipped color pallette.

"Rectified" by Agave

[trapperskeeper]

So can we talk about Ryland Grace being ace coded? Like I know he had that one line about the Day one, Meal one tube being better than sex, but like... is that not a very asexual thing to say? When Martin and Annie are over sharing about their relationship he was kind of a combination of morbidly fascinated and squeamish/uncomfortable thinking about it. And then when the team thought he was in a sexual relationship with Stratt he was completely shocked that anyone would think that way. Bro goes into space and finds his platonic life partner in a rock spider alien music box, is prepared to die to save him, and then seemingly is completely fine living out the rest of his existence on Erid without ever needing sex again.

Do you think that if Telemachus was with Anticlea when she died, she mistook him as Odysseus in her final moments?

YOU ARE GORGEOUS

YOU ARE WORTHY OF PLATONIC AND/OR ROMANTIC LOVE

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU'RE WORTHY OF??

why do you need cardio, you're a computer program

why do you need an o2 mask, you're a computer program

[h0l1d4yh0rr0r-deactivated202412]

This kind of stuff is precisely why I can't take it seriously when people praise uprising for the grid worldbuilding. I'm too picky I think cause okay you have trains that flip around. That's cool. Why is there a bathroom for computer programs. It's not even a sensory room or private room or anything whatever it has a full sink bro why is that in the computer world. Why does Beck talk like an MCU character and (this one goes for the entire tron franchise) HOW DO PROGRAMS HAVE A CONCEPT OF GENDER

[thedreadpiratebroberts]

OK I'm gonna skip putting this in the tags because I have a lot of feelings.

I totally get the inconsistencies and the pieces of the world building that just don't make sense (why do programs have a concept of physical attraction? They don't reproduce that way bro)

HOWEVER, I would defend some of these by the blanket statement that Tron is and has always been a mythology first. Not an actual beat for beat realistic portrayal of computers and how they function.

Because I make this mistake myself in my own writing. I hit up my computer science friends like 'bro did I portray this right?'. And they're like 'objectively, no. But if you made it realistic it'd be way less interesting and ruin how the story flows'.

Because this world and its characters are only interesting to us as a reflection of humanity, transposed on to a new environment but human all the same.

Does Tron needing an O2 mask or using a treadmill objectively make sense? No.

Does needing an O2 mask imply to a human audience that your character is weak and critically ill? Yes.

Does using a treadmill imply that your character is trying to condition themselves and are very serious about staying in shape even if their circumstances dictate they can't go run outside? Yes.

Im not going to die on the hill of these choices but I will say that they make sense to me from a writing and storytelling standpoint. At the end of the day you can only make something so alien before it makes no sense at all.

Not trying to roast anyone here. Just raising a counterpoint. At the end of the day this show got canceled so there's only so much depth to get into before you run out of water.

Emmett ‘trying to explain how Alice got thrown through three cement walls and Jacob had to crawl out of a burning car’: So, we made a few small mistakes.

Edward: you said the words ‘Vampire demolition derby’ and didn’t think how there might be dangers associated

Emmett: Fine then, Lord Perfect. We made some medium sized mistakes

My secret to actually finishing publishing projects is that when I don't feel like working on them, I procrastinate by pissing around with the innumerable tiny housekeeping tasks associated with the project that would otherwise bring things to a crashing halt at the 99% mark, so that when I eventually do get to the 99% mark, they're already done.

Like, you don't feel like actually writing the thing?

Screw around with the layout and formatting of your credits and copyright notices page.

Put together a spec for an illustration you imagine you might one day commission, if you ever find yourself in possession of a budget.

Fire up your graphic design software and compose a completely unnecessary diagram or visual aid.

Tinker with the wording of the promotional blurb on the itch.io page you set up in a previous bout of procrastination even though the product doesn't actually exist yet.

Any non-trivial publishing project has a billion peripheral little tasks that need taking care of, most of them sufficiently small and sufficiently different from Writing The Thing that you can probably convince your brain that doing them when you "should" be writing counts as procrastinating – and that list may look a lot less intimidating when it's framed less as "a billion things I Have To Do" and more as "a billion things I can distract myself with to avoid actually writing".

I call this "being productive adjacent" and it is 100% a hack on how I get around my executive dysfunction most days. It works exactly like you said: do something related to your task without it being the actual task itself, and you'll be surprised by a) how much you get done and 2) how you don't feel as much soul-crushing guilt for not doing The Task.

Now does it work every time? No because that's the curse of adhd - the system will only work so many times before it needs to be changed up again, but if I rotate through my other systems I have in place to get me to do The Task, they all work a little longer than normal and I get that little bit extra done, and it really does help in the long run.

I hope this approach can help others because you'd be surprised at just how many small, administrative tasks there are to ANY project or task and how you can essentially "cheat" the task and get it ...done, kinda.

[voxeljello]

don’t mind me, just follow up to the au thing from before, or just an excuse to draw Beck’s back circuitry, or both actualy

Ooooh yes!

Violence is never the answer

Violence is the QUESTION

And the answer is YES

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Ah yes, the infamous classical vampires of yore: Dracula, Carmilla, and Varney the Vampire

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Babe that is a coloring book

[syrena-of-the-lake]

I’m sorry, but a certain purple monstrosity came to mind the second I read “Varney”…

I suck you, you bite me

We're a vampire family

With two great big fangs, and some blood from me to you

Won't you say you suck me too?

[wherehipposdrome]

Listen.

If you haven't read Varney, maybe because you for some reason think you don't have time to read a 28000 chapter penny dreadful from the 1840s with roughly one sentence per page and egregious comma abuse -

you are missing out. The plot is 100% batshit bonkers, all the characters behave like amnesiac muppets at the best of times, the author keeps dropping in the most frustrating digressions known to humankind ("hey all, didn't have time for a chapter this week but here's the pilot for another series I've been pitching"), we get the most pathetically out of shape vampire ever described, and best of all: If you write a paper on it for college your teacher will 100% not bother to read the actual book, and you can get away with almost anything

and also @antiquesfreaks are currently reading their way through it and now I'm known as That Weirdo In Headphones Who Doubles Over Snortlaughing In The Middle Of The Street
