((Although it's an option for him in the same way it is for Bo (provided he has the energy) Flynn switching to his human maverick is incredibly rare. He will only change over to that form for very specific reasons and usually only in one on one situations---like if he wants to shock someone or get some deeper point across, intimate reasons, and etc---otherwise he is most commonly seen using his sahash maverick. He has a tendency to avoid looking at his face while using the human maverick because of the kamito attached to it as well, lots of memories there and not all of them are pleasant. The sahash form also grounds him emotionally in a way and he is, by default, less destructive/seems to have more control of himself than if he were in his true sualokin form.))
#;;muse headcanons: flynn#the fact that he has to be actively provoked into his true form says a lot too tbh#he's comfortable in the sahash maverick and is in it nearly 100% of the time lol (and considering he's in the Stream often it makes sense)#it's much easier to have the appearance of a sahash if you're moving between the Flat and the Stream compared to a human so...

THE FLYNN HALLOWEEN 2024 ⎯⎯⎯⎯ "Long ago, in the faraway land of ancient Greece, there was a golden age of powerful gods and extraordinary heroes. And the greatest and strongest of all these heroes was the mighty Hercules. But what is the measure of a true hero?"
Headcanon Info:
Callum and Avie love this movie and watch it all the time. Avie loves the sass of Hades and begged her dad to let her dress up as him this year. Callum bought that temporary blue hair dye and turned her into the god of the underworld. He decided to match his daughter and go as Hercules, the himbo hero. The father and daughter who often care for the stray cat that roams the old apartment block decided to get her some wings to make her Pegasus. The trio complete! Avie ready to wreak havoc and Callum chasing after her with a cat in his arms, trying to stop her from going crazy with power.

((Kariom's go-to in regards to conflicts is to talk things out rather than to actually fight someone. This man is incredibly stubborn and is prone to emotional outbursts, that much is true, but said outbursts are never without heart or thought behind them, even if it might be hard to discern or reach in the moment.
He possesses a temper and can get agitated if someone is flat out refusing to listen to him and Kariom's not above shifting communication into an argument as a result (this is a notable problem between Kariom and Flynn) but this exhausts him quickly and he'd much rather get things over with or, preferably, come to some sort of solution. This varies depending upon the severity of a topic, of course, and if something is really bothering him he will bring it up again.
It's notable that no matter how emotional he becomes Kariom always tries his best to listen to others and come across plainly---if not bluntly---in regards to his own communication and is surprisingly quick to amend misunderstandings. Kariom actually views his openness to communicate as one of his strong suits and doesn't feel that it makes him weaker than someone who deals with issues in a more physical manner.
That being said this doesn't make him a pushover and if someone manages to force him into a direct, physical confrontation Kariom can and will hold his own.))
#;;muse headcanons: kariom#this is still a bit vague bc reasons but yeah! a hc#this is more about in the moment stuff rather than influences (Flynn; Bo; Milosh mainly) but I might bring that up at a later time#I've also nattered about this quite a bit (especially in regards to the lengths you'd have to go to to make him physically retaliate);#but I never did a proper hc so.... have this I guess???#I'm still...iffy about my Kariom hcs (and if you saw my post from the other day you'd know why) but I'm..... trying

@foxedthecards asked: ⌨ - time-wasting habits ((for any of your muses))
...Does it count as time wasting if Ed still manages to get the task done with ample time to space despite the neck-breaking pace his boss sets deadlines at? Ed isn't really one for wasting time.
Tea breaks is probably a larger time sink for Ed than is reasonable for any other human, but considering how much stress he's under, can you blame him?
He also goes for long walks to take breaks from work, particularly in the evening before settling in for a long night of coding.
I like to also imagine him doing micro crochet with embroidery floss during his lunch break when he's alone in his office, but I doubt he'd risk being caught dead with a spool of thread and crochet hook at work. Maybe he draws crochet diagrams for blanket patterns.
---
I know the Game Boy came out the year Flynn went missing, but I think Flynn would have loved one of those. ...Although... the original Tron movie has touchscreen computers (see: Dillinger's desk) in 1983, so I don't think it's too big of a stretch for the Game Boy to have come out a few years earlier in the Tron universe, or for Encom or another company to have developed something similar around that time. Maybe Flynn pushed Encom to develop it after he took over the company. Anyway, he's definitely playing video games instead of doing Important CEO stuff in his office. It drives Alan up the walls when he does it.

Ed frowned at a chunk of code, struggling tho follow the logic. Whoever had written this program had been sloppy with their comments, at best, and the variable names were difficult to keep track of and determine what they were or did. The rectification code was jarringly different--where the original code was chaotic, the rectification code was exceptionally methodical, and easier to follow, even if the comments were just as sparse.
He added a comment to explain what that chunk of code did, then wrote a chunk of code beneath it. He could practically feel the two bits of code meshing together more naturally, conflicting errors easing.
Stable, though far from running at optimal performance, and still riddled with errors. For now, it would have to do.
"Take a deep breath," Ed murmured to Clu. "I know showing any sort of vulnerability can be terrifying, especially since there are people who will try to take advantage of that, but Eve is right. I know it's also hard to trust either of us, considering everything, but I promise we'll be here to back you up."
@not-that-dillinger Continued from here because it apparently doesn't want me to reblog it...
Nitro shuddered softly. "There's... two kinds of reprogramming." He explained haltingly. "That we have experience with, at least."
"One's... medical, I guess. Repairing damage, making improvements, averting obsolescence... all done by Users or trained Medic Programs. Good thing, if a bit... disconcerting when you're not used to it."
"The other's Clu's specialty. He calls it rectifying. It's... it's hacking, I guess, given a fancy name, but it's so much worse than being infected with a Virus or a User breaking in to edit a Program's function without access rights allowing them to."
"It strips away everything that makes someone who they are. Memories, functions, personality, thoughts, hopes, dreams... all gone." Nitro looked away, clenching his fist. "He did it to so many. Friends became enemies in... well. Fractions of a second for you, our equivalent of minutes. Hundreds, if not thousands, wiped clean except for what he wanted to turn them into. Disposable armies, mostly. Bodies to throw at what few held out against him. He- even Tron was brought down eventually. Our stronghold, Eve, my kids... we're the last of the resistance, maybe forty fighters strong, the rest all refugees. It- for all I know, it could be just me now."
#headcanon on flynn's and clu's (assuming clu was the one that wrote the rectification code) coding styles:#Clu's is closer to brutalist architecture or minimalism#flynn's is closer to a mix of abstract expressionism and dadaism#rp#muse: ed dillinger jr#rp-026#evecolourshock

you know I gotta suggest Navarre for the character ask! and asahi if you’re feeling up to it :^D
Thank you so much!
favorite thing about them: I love how much PIZZAZ he adds to the early game! How can I not like a character with such a flamboyant, demanding personality whose very presence is enough to make everyone react with shock, contempt, laughter, and awe? Navarre is an ass, but a necessary ass to carry the early narrative and add so much excitement to it. I cannot help but giggle to myself everytime he appears. AND THEN, all that character growth in IVA towards becoming a better, more self-aware ghostie. Ohhh I love he so muuuch~
least favorite thing about them: Definitely the unnecessary perversion in IVA. Enough said.
favorite line: The "dawdling Casualries" line will always hold a special place in my heart, but I am also really fond of the stuff he says when you speak with him during the training drills in one of the rest spots,
"O-Oh, it's you… I thought you to be a demon. Don't start me so… I've never carried a blade any heavier than a knife before. If Mother were to see me dashing about with such a weapon in hand, I think that she would faint…"
And
"I landed a critical blow when I accidentally tripped… The next quest was much simpler, since as you might expect, money is no object to me. 'Twas actually easier than the first. But the final challenge all depends on one's strength, and that's a field I'm particularly lacking in… S-Someone else may have first place, I care not whom. Merely let this debacle of a training exercise be done with!"
brOTP: Nanashi and Navarre are best BROS!
Bad edit aside, can't forget the actual bros, Navarre and Gaston lmao. I really enjoyed their sibling relationship and it opened up so much insight into their familial life and personal struggles. I'm so so happy they got to rekindle at the enddd, it was so sweet
OTP: Everyone knows that I am the sole resident of the Issachar x Navarre Crack Ship Kingdom!! Idgaf that they've never canonically met nor even know of each other's existence, the POTENTIAL between them is enough to keep me content and well fed! We support random rarepairs in this house!
I also really like Flynn x Navarre too and they're my second fave Navarre ship, for much the same reasons!
nOTP: Needless to say, my NOtps would be pairing Navarre with his brother or any of the IVA kids. Eeeugh. Enough said.
random headcanon: It's something I've been wanting to analyze in more depth, and IDK how much of this is actually canon or headcanon considering, but I very much fancy the idea of Navarre always having close connections with the Samurai seniors and keeping close tabs on the Rite and new inductions. He's very astute with the going-ons in Samurai business and likely has been anxiously watching them for quite some time.
unpopular opinion: I understand that Navarre is a very unlikeable character, and he's supposed to be! But it honestly does get really bothersome seeing how much dismissal, if not outright hate, he gets in the fandom. Navarre IS an important character within the early game! It is his very antics that adds the necessary tension and tone needed to carry the early narrative and worldbuilding. It does admittedly make it hard for me to approach other SMTIV fans because I like this bean so much.
But that is okay. I am perfectly content with those who seek out, stick by, and enjoy my bean musings. :)
song i associate with them: Tbh I'm pretty bad at that sort of question, lol. I don't really have one for him right now, so pass? (Open to suggestions though! I want more tunes to listen to.)
favorite picture of them: SO MANY panels of him from the Prayers manga FOR REAL. He's SO expressive in that and has TONS of good moments!! But I am especially fond of the mini bonus chapter that features Navarre~
Masataka Miura can agree: Navarre can have a little moment in the spotlight as a treat~
Thank you again so much for the ask! I think I've written quite at length here, lmao. I'm a bit tired now and I don't think I can fit Asahi here, but I could post hers later on!

Reorganizing The Blogs Again
A while ago, I decided I would make this blog a hub for all my RP blogs, though I sometimes reblog non-rp stuff here.
Anyway, I've been thinking about reorganizing stuff again.
So: I have two new blogs: @fourbit-pointyeared-program, and @halfbytespaceelf.
The former is fro Tron fandom stuff, reblogging fics, art, headcanons, etc.
The second is for anything else that's not RP or Tron Fandom related. This may include politics, random real world discussion, other fandom stuff unless I decide to make yet another blog for whatever fandom, art, personal ramblings, etcetera.
This blog will now be only for rp related stuff, rp related questions for the mun, or asks from anything tagged ask the mun can be sent here. This blog will be for rp related communications, rules, and reblogging promos and memes.
A full list of my blogs and what they are for is under the cut:
RP Blogs:
@spaceandthedigitalfrontier: Hub blog. Updates from the mun/other rp related communications, rules, bios, promotions, memes. If you have an RP related question for the mun, or if I tag a meme ask the mun, you can send it here.
If an ask if for a specific muse, send it to the blog the muse is listed on. My current list of RP muse blogs includes:
@not-that-dillinger: rp blog for Ed Dillinger Jr, Eos (OC program written by Ed), Talos/Thantos (OC program written by Ed), and Julian Dillinger.
@spaceparanoids-highestscore: rp blog for Kevin Flynn. Same rules as above apply here.
@renegades-fanclub: rp blog for Mara, Zed, Rasket, and Moog.
@unwritten-identity-discs: Clarke, Llull, Rio, and Sverdrup (all Tron OCs)
@dillingers-dance-partner: rp blog for Dillinger Sr.'s assistant, Peter. Originally created for a crack ship and mostly defunct now but still accepting asks.
@half-titan-totally-cursed: rp blog for Pax (Percy Jackson/Heroes/Kane Chronicles OC), Marcus Junius Brutus, and Gaius Cassius Longinus (side muses, inspired by the historical figure and Shakespeare character and thrown into Pax's universe.)
@order-of-the-pharos-universe: Aurelius, Aristotle, and various others I have not gotten around to writing the bios of.
@unofficial-tron-rpc: an RP resource blog dedicated to helping connect folks interested in RPing in the Tron fandom.
Fandom Blogs
@tron-asterisk: Blog dedicated to the Goncharov'd Tron 3 film. Everything on this blog is unreality. This one has been a bit quiet, but I'm going to keep it.
@fourbit-pointyeared-program: general Tron fandom blog for art, fics, theories, etc.
Other
@halfbytespacelef: as stated above, for personal stuff, real world stuff, art, and anything else that's not part of one of the above.
#the voice from the void#current blog count is 12#is that too many? IDK#I'm just going to turn into a blog hoarder lol#...and i'm thinking about making another dedicated to oc-tober why#status update

🧨 — a long fuse! a headcanon about my muse and their temper, and a time when they lost it.
"Which time do you want to know about? First time I pushed back when my dad was pushing me around like he usually was? I punched him so hard in the kidney he was pissing blood for a week. That was some real Flynn bonding right there, I think it was the first time he ever respected me, or close to it. How about the time a liqour store clerk was an asshole to my ex so went back and held up the store even though I was fresh out of prison and probation. I can tell you what it's like to almost smash someone's skull clean in with a crowbar because they fucked with your person if that's more your speed. Promise you won't be able to guess what kinda sound that makes. Or how about just feeling regular old upset and instead of feeling that you put your fist through the glass of a cabinet at someone's birthday party because that shit's easier to feel?"
"This temper of mine's ruined every good thing in my life, but sure, yeah. Let's chat about it."

👫 Eira and Flynn!
@fairytaletold | Send a 👫and I’ll write four headcanons I have about our muse’s relationship
In the DnD world, I feel like they get a small cabin? cottage? tinyhome? (idk what the right descriptor is lmao) on the edge of town because neither of them want to be too close to anyone else. 1.2 Flynn is the worst kind of NPC in this verse so he never really gets a job as such but I feel like he starts maybe making things like little wood carvings or something that he sells to bring some money in so he feels like he's contributing.
In modern verse, they live right in the middle of the city because it's easier for Eira to pickpocket, should she want to. I feel like in this verse they enjoy the conveniences of the city and wouldn't move away - or maybe only for a good reason.
In a verse where Flynn's sealskin gets repaired, he takes Eira swimming with him. He is so careful with her in the water but so playful, butting at her feet and legs and just generally showing off.
They probably have at least one kid, but like, later, when they're much more settled. Flynn worries that his blindness (even tho it's because he's a seal - could be passed down, but they have a kid who's the spitting image of Eira and as much mischief to boot.

Headcanon / Notes of my muse portrayal of the CC kids following HoFas
So not a ton is going to change; aside from the fact none of them have titles. They're still the same idiots all sharing one brain cell. Just now they're idiots who were born and remained full powered. LOOK OUT WORLD.
Lidia and Ruhn are clearly still in the Aux. As are Dec and Flynn and Hunt.
Bryce is running the antique shop where Dani and Seren probably hang out a whole lot. Naevia too. Giving Bryce this sweet feeling of nostalgia.
Someone needs to bring me a grown Bran and Ace. As they have about 16 years on their little sister. Which I think gives them a relationship a lot like Bryce and Ruhn once had -- without the years of tension and separation.
Let's just all assume they found a way to preserve the first light. Either by collab-ing with the Ocean Queen or instituting a tax system along with this new government. Cause a lot of the fun of Crescent City is that it's an Urban/Modern fantasy with magic AND tech.
Family vacations to Avallen to see the ponies!
Also I kind of really want to add a Tharion/Sathia and Ithan/Perry kiddo to the mix. We need to keep the LARGE GROUP OF IDIOTS theme going.
Just bring me more kiddos in general.
Adrian and Maddox are most likely no longer training to be bodyguards as the titles are gone but they are training to be Aux and so there is SOME expectation they'll stop the stupid shit. They never do.
So yeah...the biggest thing that would change would be the idea of the Drop. So obvs the whole thing with Seren and the Drop will be cut out but I think "Drop Parties" might still be a thing. But instead of being tied to an actual drop they've become the Vanir version of a Sweet Sixteen almost. Held when a Vanir reaches 18/19.
More to come as I think of it.... Or as it comes up in threads.

It's rarely uttered now save for if he's being overly fond or sentimental but Flynn had a small habit of calling Kariom a veglamb in his youth. This nickname comes from the fact that Kariom possesses a big appetite and the speed with which the lad hit a growth spurt and outgrew his caretaker.
#;;muse headcanons: flynn#;;muse headcanons: kariom#;;muse headcanons: kariom (verse: the stars of your youth; one day they will grow louder)#obviously the main endearment attached to Kariom is kiddo (and him being called kiddo is eternal lol) but this is cute too imo#I imagine he wasn't small for very long and effectively had his growth spurt overnight (like veglamb do)#the appetite thing is obvious (and also eternal) bc this man loves food uwu

for the headcanon meme - i feel like Byan encourages Flynn to like, relax and get out of his comfort zone more? Byan (to Flynn) seems to care so much less what people think and that's something he wants to emulate! And Flynn would go to bat for them in a second and absolutely use his blindness to get them out of trouble lmao
send a headcanon you have about our muses' relationshipㅤ ∘ ˚ ( accepting )
ㅤyessss, that's actually one of byan's better traits, even though there is sometimes something a bit harsh or peer pressure-y in the way they go about it. they absolutely do encourage flynn to just chill out, have a good time, and not care what anyone else thinks, though the words tend to come out really bluntly or they're dragging him along regardless of how comfortable he is. same goes with encouraging him out of his comfort zone, though that can end up in more of a similar territory to that of your bully in high school pointing and laughing and calling you names until you do the thing, which isn't always helpful. there are also times where they're actually pretty nice about it though!! it all just depends on the situation and their mood, they're very inconsistent and full of surprises smh.
i loooove the idea of flynn using his blindness to get them out of trouble though. i think byan finds it really funny in a lot of cases just because people will so suddenly stop questioning everything once his blindness is brought into it, regardless of how relevant it is to the circumstances. ...they also end up appreciating it a lot because there aren't a lot of people out there who watch their back like that, especially in those situations where they deserve whatever trouble they were in. will they ever say this to him directly? no, god no, absolutely not. but they do express it in their own weird little ways that seem completely unrelated.
#miidnighters#━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ answered: ooc.#i just always love byan being a bad influence while also making a positive impact in someone's life#it's so funny to me that they do both but it's also so perfectly THEM and i just. i love that lmao

Send 🍺 for my muses drunk reaction around yours.
"You gave me too much. Too much." Flynn groaned as he fell on the couch. He buried his face into one of the pillows. "Why?" His voice grew louder. "Why do you see everyone but me? I... I mean, not now. I don't need to be seen now. I'm good now. But then? Before? I was here. Always, I was here. And your face! Your face. Your hair. Smile. You smile at me." All of his words were being muffled into the pillow. "Is fine. Fine. For the best, you know? I'm sleep now."
Send ⭐️ (or multiple) for a headcanon about our muses.
Whether Flynn informed Luis about it or not (which, he rarely did), he would always go to his best friends' house after a bad day at school. Flynn would pretend he was fine, when in reality, he wasn't. But he was in his happy place with Luis and his family.
Flynn had a crush on Luis when they both entered adulthood. This crush lasted for a couple of years, around the time when Luis turned twenty one and Flynn was twenty five. But Flynn never said anything about it. He let the crush he had, die.
As good of friends they were, Flynn did not tell Luis everything about his horrible attempt of being in a relationship. Flynn was too embarrassed about it.
Flynn secretly worries that one day, he'll go to work and Luis will be one of the people he has to investigate.
When they were kids, Flynn used string to make friendship bracelets for him and Luis. He still wears his.

The Dillingers
Got curious and looked up the surname Dillinger. So... have some thoughts on Ed and his family (NOTE: these apply specifically to my muse as I write him. Maybe they work for Canon!Ed, maybe they don't).
So: Some facts that tie into the edcanons:
David Warner, the actor that plays Edward Dillinger Sr. (Ed's father), was British.
Cilian Murphy, the actor that plays Edward Dillinger Jr., is Irish.
3. According to Wikipedia, the surname Dillinger is Germanic in origin.
John Dillinger was a real crime boss in Chicago during the Great Depression (this ties in... somehow...).
Points one and three imply some sort of immigration trail. The Dillingers were originally German, but by Edward Sr.'s time, they were British. Dillinger Sr. is never given an age, either in the movies or the novelization, but he's older than Alan and Flynn, and David Warner was born in 1941, so we'll assume Dillinger Sr. was born somewhere around that time.
...Guess what major historical event happened around that time that had families fleeing Germany? (This is rhetorical... mostly. I'd be surprised if someone doesn't know what I'm referring to.) That's right folks, the second world war had just ended. The Dillingers could, theoretically, have immigrated from Germany to England at any point, but Mun has a soft spot for immigrants, and thinks this makes for a more interesting story. So. Grandma and Grandpa Dillinger flee Germany during WWII, Perhaps its because of ideological differences with the current regime, perhaps it is because of their religious beliefs, (upon further research, David Warner's father was Russian-Jewish.... While I think it would be interesting for the Dillingers to be Jewish, I am cautious about writing them that was, especially because the type of villain that Dillinger Sr. plays could very quickly slide into anti-Semitic territory if I'm not careful, and I'm not sure I have the background knowledge to write it) there were quite a few reasons to flee Germany in the 1930's. Grandma and Grandpa Dillinger settle in England, where Edward Dillinger Sr. is born. They assimilated into British society, and Edward Sr. grows up in Britain. He gets a degree in computer science and another in business, and eventually gets hired to work for Encom, probably around 1975-7.
Some time after he's emigrated to America, Dillinger Sr. met Shannon McLaughlin, the daughter of two Irish immigrants (headcanon for Ed's mother, inspired from point 2... though considering the history between the Irish and the British... I wonder if this should be revised?). They married and had a son in 1978, Edward Dillinger Jr. Unfortunately things didn't work out (understatement of the the year), and Ed Sr. and Shannon divorced in 1989, and Dillinger Sr. raised Ed by himself.
Mun currently doesn't have anything set in stone story-wise for Ed's mother, but likes to think that she eventually remarried. Perhaps Ed has a younger sibling or two that he never learned about since his father did not allow him to see his mother.
So... How does John Herbert Dillinger come into this? Mun isn't entirely sure, but is hoping that maybe by writing this, they might figure it out. They think it'd be cool if Ed was related by some not-so-distant ancestor.
Doing some brief research, John H. Dillinger is the son of John W. Dillinger, who was a first generation American. His father (John H's grandfather) was born in Germany in 1831, and at some point moved to Indiana. If the fictional Dillingers were in some way related to the real Dillingers, it would have to be through John H's great-grandfather, who was born in 1785.
IDK where I'm going with this, but I think it would be funny if Ed ever ran into the descendants of John H. Dillinger, discover that common ancestor, and bond over criminal family members giving them a bad rap.
