#<- insane abt that program

Rinzlerrrr (for the give you a character thingy)

(character ask meme here)

How I feel about this character:

I LOVE HIMMMMM embarrassingly so he’s so dear to me you don’t even know

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

oooooh boy. let me pull out my comically long scroll for this one. in no particular order: clu, yori, dyson, ram, flynn, friends oc(s), able, and sometimes shaddox or a siren

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

i usually hc clu/rinz as unrequited so ig them? excluding them maybe beck idk rinz doesn’t have friends he’s a loser

My unpopular opinion about this character:

😶😶😶😶 i’m scared to say it…..but i will ☝️ i don’t think rinzler would be possessive of his partner(s) romantic or otherwise. protective, sure, but not possessive <- entirely based on my own hcs/interpretation of his character 

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

THAT HE GOT MORE SCREENTIMEEEE he has so much potential in so many ways and it’s never explored at all in rlly any capacity, i’m fully convinced the only reason he even exists as rinzler is so the legacy writers wouldn’t have to think of a way to keep tron from saving the day/to write him out for sam

so today i was sitting in my game engines class (basically intro to game programming) and im just doing fuck all on my phone waiting for my game files to zip and. we have like a forum where we post our game design assignments and stuff and my professor is idly scrolling thru it and looking at freshmen stuff and he pulls up my profile and looks at a bit of my stuff before zooming in on my profile and going like "whats this"

which for the record.

and im just like oh its my silly guy and go back to doing fuck all and i start doodling absentmindedly on ms paint as my file is still zipping

(image for ref)

and my professor like MATERIALIZES behind me. mind you there is only like four people in the lab and were all just doing our own things. and my prof stares at me screen for a minute and hes like "i need to run a test on you". which like. thats unnerving! im intrigued. he goes back to his backpack by his desk and rumnages thru it for like a straight minute before coming back with something in his hand.

and he gets like super serious and quiet. hes like "do you know what this means." and he produces a lanyard from his hand and like stretches it out so the words are legible and. in big bold letters. "ANTHROCON".

and i stare at it for a minute before being like "yeah" bc what else was i supposed to do, lie? after he saw my multiple drawings of my fursona? and he just nodded and went and put it back in his bag and then my file finished zipping and i left. i later told my friends about it and they all went fucking insane. i have not laughed abt something so hard w a friend in a very long time

its the way yuzuru reclaimed his Beijing 2022 (hole in the ice) performance, complete with the voiceover, the 6 minute warmup, his pooh and juice accompanying him…talk about a new level of healing ❤️‍🩹

most of my day was pretty crap but i did get to go to the library science holiday party for an hour before my concert call and i not only got free dinner out of it but i also somehow managed to win two (2) raffle items. the first was a university sweatshirt and the second was a branded tote bag w more stuff inside. i ended up letting them re-draw the raffle for the sweatshirt bc i don't really need it and i felt weird claiming two raffle items, the tote bag was what i was really interested in anyway. not only is it a nice tote with a zipper and an inside pocket and everything it also came with a t shirt, a button, a mug, an Insulated mug, a travel umbrella, and a water bottle. thought that last bit is especially funny to me given the fact that they handed out door prizes to everyone just for showing up. which were. Different (less nice) branded tote bags with a note pad and water bottle in them. so now i just have two identical LIS water bottles

[boimgfrog]

[moomoomooing]

someone needs to bail me out of class for the next too days and lock me in solitary so i can finally have some alone time and properly cry

[caruliaa]

[burinazar]

I was thinking “haha it’s so weird and silly i got soOOO into this one very specific part/arc/related minor-ish character group of a franchise, i haven’t done that before have i? this is a new weirdness for me isn’t it?”

and then suddenly vividly remembered my inconvenient and untenable and frankly quite extreme obsession with the romulan star empire all throughout middle school, with such force and clarity that i had to put a hand to my face

thinking about two best friends until dawn part 6 'bupa beepo'

metal/neo metal sonic ramble

never not thinking about how robots in idw have text like this

but neo metal sonic has the same text as all the organic characters

he also expresses clear emotion just like an organic person would, if not with a bit more robotic logic behind it [save when hes in a blind rage]

HE EVEN EVILLY LAUGHS AT ONE POINT

neo metal is proof that metal is VERY MUCH CAPABLE OF EMOTIONS LIKE ANY ORGANIC [if it wasnt already obvious when he's just metal] i think its sooo crazy that IDW shows metal is the most 'human' out of all the eggman robots yet he's arguably treated the worst, not even being able to Speak in his standard form.

ik sonic is just being his usual dick self here but he kinda has a point in a way. metal almost definitely WANTS to be able to talk and express himself. but he's reduced to his lesser, albeit still very powerful, form.

oh and don't even get me started...

it's so sad to me how even though he's still very capable of emotion, eggman has literally programmed out any hint of rebelliousness. like sure, it's most likely that even if eggman HADN'T programmed out metal's rebellious streak, he'd still be evil, but this leaves not even a CHANCE for redemption on metal's part.

which makes it even more ironic that sonic says this...

sonic fails to comprehend that metal literally CANNOT become a better person. eggman literally repeats what neo already told sonic, metal is programmed to kill and to be loyal to eggman. he has NO choice. hes been under eggmans control forever and when he rebelled he was beaten and reprogrammed to never be able to rebel again. metal has basically zero autonomy outside of eggman's orders [which is in great contrast to neo, who seems to be working FOR eggman's wishes, but still very much absorbed in his own power and emotions].

i don't really know what this whole ramble is about. i think while the comics seem to push the message that metal is going to be evil Forever, i also think it would be devastatingly tragic if he didn't get a redemption in the comics. y'all cant set up a horrifying depiction of abuse like this and tell me 'oh yeah and he stayed in that state forever'. i think if another fight happened at one point or another maybe they could TRY to figure out how to program OUT his anti rebellion streak? lol? even WITH that he did hesitate when sonic offered for him to be a good person again.

he literally hesitated when SONIC. IS THE ONE WHO OFFERED HIM A TRUCE. like he's literally programmed to believe sonic is his copy and he needs to kill him I don't think i can understate how insane it is that metal, despite all his programming and lack of automomy preventing it, for a split second, considered sonics offer.

thats all for tonight. metal sonic deserves the whole world. please reblog or comment your thoughts id love to talk more abt how hes characterized in the idw comics, might talk abt reflections next. bye !
