mincing the worlds of historical fiction and sci-fi is something that is so intimate to me and that only few can understand why

confidence is something sour behind her teeth: flimsy and sticky, the taste of blood threatening to seep through if she pokes at it too hard. don't forget this feeling. it's a blessing to lie for a friend, to have a friend to lie for at all; living feels lighter with the security of deceit. don't get used to that one. ❝ of course i did, ❞ she tsks smoothly. really, she should be saving her impressions for where it counts. vaguely, mara remembers something she'd blown off earlier in the day ( a meeting with a no-name, and not even one over lunch! she's been relegated like a d-lister. maybe they'd have pitched her something really juicy, scrounged up something from the black list and popped a shiny silver bow on it just for her. maybe it'd have won her an oscar. there's no way of knowing, there's no breathing room for regret. she squishes a crawling ant underneath her sneaker and forgets the rest. ). ❝ i'm a really good girlfriend. don't you remember, i got you that enormous expensive watch for valentine's day? and roses? ❞ she mumbles around her joint, a smoky laugh breathed out after. ❝ more roses than you've seen in your fucking life. ❞

[arthisan]

words always like the echo of gunfire ,     confident and determined .     he always catches it in the clutch of his palm before it can reach his heart ,     even when it intends to hurt him .     though she never intends to hurt ,    only singe ,     beat rubber into skin until it bruises .     not to hurt ,     no ,     just to simply annoy him .

and in some shape or form ,     he vies to defend himself ,     barricading boyish stature ,     weak - willed and sensitive ,     with a wall that only knows one way to survive .     through amusement ,     where chalking up levity     even in the tender moments     feels like a broken laugh track ,     hiccuping into oblivion .     but perhaps that's just the way she likes it .     some things never change .     and here ,     it's no different .

he has to force himself not to roll his eyes at her .     but it's fine     —     laughter is genuine this time .     quiet ,     but genuine .     ❝    sure i do ,     ❞     he says .     she was right ,     after all .     she was a really good girlfriend     —     in theory .     ❝     i gotta step up my game next year .     no way am i gonna let people know my girlfriend is the breadwinner     and can afford another cartier     and ten dozen roses .     ❞     he scuffs the bottom of his shoe kicking a pebble .     thinking ,     he glances up at the stars .     ❝     i'll be able to afford that kinda money one day .     ❞     and then looks at her ,     a dreamy smirk propped up in the corner of his mouth ,     teasing her .     ❝     y'gonna stick 'round by then ?    ❞

btw all things considered... arthur just decides to ignore how fucked the u.s. government is and how badly they scathed him just based on how nicely they rewarded him later in life

[arthisan]

#he's a “”“”“closeted commie”“”“” what they would call it at the time#but he never has the sight to consider resenting america unlike other veterans deeply affected by the war#considering he now works for The Man and prefers to keep his head down in order to keep his belly full#deep down he knows he should be angry and go full anarchist or something but 🥺 that isn't going to get him to do his dream job now is it 🙄

adding to this by highlighting the greatest criticism against space travel, that being the sentiment of how we need to stop worrying what's up in the stars and start worrying about what's happening on the ground. with that being said, arthur is incidentally an antagonist of this mentality and, at the end of the day, he is no better than the average ignorant american more so because he chooses to be one.

thinking about how arthur eats thanksgiving in a can again. alone.

@ccrleone : ❛ I HAD A FEELING YOU'D BE HERE . ❜

that voice cuts deep into silence ,    gentle and steady ,     yet heavy enough to sometimes sound louder than a crash or thud .    down to the very first syllable ,    his head prompts up before it can finish dipping back ,     arms stretched out and legs crossed ,     meaning to languish    —    until a shadow makes himself known .    glancing back ,    he quickly shifts ,    sitting forward to appear more awake ,    the surprise flickering round - eyed and expectant on his face .    as if he meant to anticipate his presence ,    just not right now .    but among his drowsiness ,    boy     —    is he happy to see him .    quietly ,    wordlessly .    no apparentness besides eyelids ,    falling halfway shut .    a dopey smile ,    soft and subtle ,    like he could already be dreaming .

his features glow in the illuminance of rain clouds    that have yet to erupt just outside .    it's dark ,    even for this early in the afternoon .    but it's also comfy ,    quiet ,    peaceful .    arthur imagines out here is far better than whatever is going over there ,    down towards the pith of the house ,    or the pit    —    what arthur likes to call it these days .    harsh to say ,    but michael is walking evidence that proves the nature of such a name ,    walking in     and walking out     and always looking a year older than the day he did before .    though ,    against those rain clouds ,    the wear and tear glows too .    even the most finite wrinkles harbor pain ,    but also glory ,     tiny little painstrokes ,    making up the telling of one man's story .    despite everything ,    arthur admires it .

PROMPTS FROM TRON: LEGACY *  assorted dialogue from the 2010 film, adjust as necessary

i'd have given it all up for one more day with you.

life has a way of moving you past wants and hopes.

[name], what have you become?

of course you're right.

enjoy the drink.

end of line, man.

what's more imperfect than our world?

look at you! look at the size of you!

how did you get in here?

i got your message.

so it's just you?

isn't this something.

you look the same.

a lot's happened. more than you can imagine.

you were trapped in here?

you're in charge?

can we just go home now?

that's a hell of a way to treat your son.

i'm very, very happy to see you.

now that is a big door.

she risked herself for me.

some things are worth the risk.

in there is a new world! in there is our future! in there is our destiny!

i had a feeling you'd be here.

you don't look so bad.

i did everything... everything you ever asked.

you promised that we would change the world, together.

you broke your promise.

why are you here, [name]?

he wouldn't have left you.

radical, man.

this can't be good.

what am i supposed to do?

your old man's about to knock on the sky and listen to the sound.

i realize that our alliance is, at times, uneasy. but always necessary.

you know you need me right where i am.

i understand that now.

the thing about perfection is that it's unknowable.

it's amazing how productive doing nothing can be.

what did they look like?

that's right. i got in.

i've read them all.

jules verne is my favorite. do you know jules verne?

you have no idea.

i'm sorry. i know i messed up.

we can go back. i can go back.

no. we stay together.

i can do this.

you've done enough already.

you're messing with my zen thing, man.

the only way to win the game is not to play.

you can't steal something that's designed to be given away free.

you remember that night when you didn't come home?

couldn't wait to show it to you.

i screwed up. chasing after perfection, chasing after what was right in front of me.

look what you've accomplished. it's incredible.

identify yourself.

i'm taking this vehicle.

watch your step please as you board the aircraft.

you definitely didn't do that.

wait, what's your plan?

it wasn't meant for them.

what's this? what do you do with this?

where can i find him?

this is a conversation best had behind closed doors. perhaps we should retire to my private lounge.

remember what you came for.

i'm not leaving you.

guess we're supposed to change the world.

come on. i want to show you something.

i'm sure you must have a lot of questions.

i'm sure you've figured it out by now.

all of your questions will be answered soon.

where do i find him?
