L'Ukraine est une plaque tournante du blanchiment d'argent en provenance d'Amérique et d'Europe

Général Flynn sur l'Ukraine :

"C'est un centre de trafic d'êtres humains .

C'est un centre de trafic d'enfants .

C'est le centre du commerce de la drogue .

C'est le centre du commerce des armes .

On connaît nos biolabs

Cela a été confirmé publiquement par des fonctionnaires du Département d'État, Victoria Nuland.

Et l'argent continue de couler...

Vous appelez cela du blanchiment d'argent."

Sorry new landoscar fan here, I kept seeing the notion that Oscar was Lando’s fan for years, but I can’t seem to find any info about that?

ofc babe ! I store a lot of it in this tag but I think a little roundup post is probably due - heads up this is not in chrono order bc a lot of it is referenced from recent content:

2015 and Oscar making the big move to the UK to join Ricky Flynn and his fanboying of Lando begins

tiktok compilation of Oscar revealing his chronic Lando content consumption well before they were teammates

compilation from twitter of Oscar's decided bias toward not only liking Lando content but also searching his tag and finding posts that sometimes had barely a few likes (and this was just going back to 2017)

Oscar knowing when Lando's maiden podium was (and Lando calling him a nerd)

the 2020 hornet tweets because Oscar watched the stream of Lando battling 2 hornets in his house x x

2021 Oscar citing Lando's social media inspiring him to use humor as a way to open up to the public more (added landoscar angst here bc the hate and abuse he received after alpinegate seriously made him clam up and between that and him being fairly in awe of Lando, meant that Lando himself didn't rly get to know Oscar's humor until fairly late 2023 - like, no one should underestimate how Oscar entered F1 properly and got to know one of his favorite drivers all while being universally despised and painted as a villain/cold/evil - how much could have been different if one team had simply kept their mouths shut until verifying that tweet first esp when Oscar was already a shared reserve driver w McLaren anyway !!!!)

the beloved Oscar and Max F at Renault Academy lore

this post I made is a mess but the anecdotes he can only know from Lando's or Max's streams streams or Quadrant videos: Lando making stickers and selling them at school; Lando's snoring lore could be because of the thin shared walls but also Max has def brought it up before; he definitely already knew the story of Lando falling from a window trying to break into his own house; and the fact that we got Max reacting to Oscar referencing Max's outrage at Lando forgetting his birthday

it's a bit too scattered to compile but trust and believe Oscar has been a carlando girlie from day one - def the bromance but idk I feel like he's read a fic or twenty

watching Lando's career when asked about his idols coming up

and backing that up, him in 2019 saying the same thing

pulling out the it's Friday theeeen Lando meme

being so addicted to Lando content by 2020 that he actually fanboyed about the LN4 admin interacting w him

and ofc K's beloved Oscar primer has a lot of context about all of this more fleshed out!

I think that's everything but if anyone notices I've forgotten anything lmk !!

Announcement re: the Nevermore Discord

The discord is shut down for construction during the week of 7/15. Joins have been paused (if you left the discord and could not get back in afterwards, chances are this is why), and will continue to be paused for this time. Eight new mods are being onboarded to the team, in addition to the three we had before. From this point forward, neither Red nor I will be involved with the server's moderation. During this week, the admin team will be implementing new rules and additional safety measures to ensure a better overall experience for users. Joins will be reinstated when the server opens back up. Thank you for your patience during this time, and I wish you all a wonderful rest of your day. Cheers, Flynn

Unpopular tron opinion (at least in the part of tronblr I'm in): Clu was not blameless. Yes Flynn gave him a flawed directive but that doesn't excuse the genocide and lengths he went to "follow his directive". With a function as vague as that, Clu enacted perfection in different ways but he chose to kill and destroy. I think a lot of times the Fandom lets him off the hook and blame Flynn. Just my opinion tho

tron confessional with moss

oh biiiiig agree. lotta parts to this but I'll try to keep my thoughts relatively concise

it's a problem I see in a lot of fandoms -- a tendency to fixate on a protagonist's shortcomings to the point of flat out claiming that they're a horrible person worse than the villains, while at the same time excusing a lot of the antagonist's actions for [insert thinly justifiable motive here]. and I'd love to analyze why this happens. are people just completely unwilling to admit that the "good guys" have critical flaws because they don't want to admit that real people are also flawed? are the actions of an antagonist usually so overtly Evil that it somehow makes them easier to stomach than the oftentimes lesser but more realistic mistakes of a protagonist? or has fandom just lost sight of the fact that characters are vehicles for storytelling and they need to have flaws in order to drive the narrative?

ANYWAY

yeah lol

one of the things that always struck me about Clu, personally, was how vindictive a lot of his actions come across? I always got the sense that his retaliation against the ISOs was personal just as much as it was directive-driven -- in the same way that he clearly wanted to make an Event out of killing Sam in the lightcycle arena. he wants to destroy the things that Flynn cares about, that Flynn loves, the things that distracted him and took his focus away from the Grid. and yes as a system admin it's obviously his job to prioritize the Grid and make it perfect efficient etc. but. the whole franchise is about the fact that programs have thoughts and emotions of their own and can exist outside of their function. so like you said, I think to reduce it to Clu just obeying his written purpose is just that -- reductive. Basics have free will, and I 100% think that what Clu did was a choice.

and circling briefly back to Flynn, I've always felt like the fandom is unfairly harsh on him. yes he made mistakes but again that is the point. of storytelling. and I could spend paragraphs talking about Flynn as a character and why I think he's well written and not a bad person, but that's a whole other level of unpopular opinion

silly tron hc

Tron likes to sneak up on people and scare them. Like hiding around corners and showing up behind people.

Was looking at clips of Uprising(again) and when he pops up to talk to Able, he always surprises him. Like, turn around see him and wonder if you'll die for a second, but no it's just Tron.

He likes to scare his friends. He's a security monitor so I'm sure he's more than capable, and he thinks it's funny. He won't laugh or smile, but his shoulder shake just slightly.

He does the same thing to Beck, but justifies it and calls it training. They both know he just likes to scare him a bit. As Beck gets better, sometimes he just pretends not to notice. Beck attempts to sneak up on Tron, but it rarely works. Tron's happy because it's the first time someone has done it back.

It's a sign of affection because he is genuinely scary. Tall, strong, and more than capable of killing most programs. If he scares you, it's because he trusts that you know he would never actually hurt you.

Flynn hated this btw. Not genuinely, but he got way too many scares since he was closest to Tron. It's endearing in the I don't know why you're like this way. During his exile, Quorra would sometimes sneak up on him. It made him nostalgic, man, he really misses Tron.

Clu hated this, genuinely. He's the system admin, why would Tron try to scare him? It also reminded him that Tron would always be the better fighter. As Clu and Tron drifted apart, he stopped scaring Clu. There's an odd part of him that misses it.

Rinzler doesn't do this, not on purpose. By accident he'll still sneak up on people. He's not sure whether or not he enjoys their fear.

Tronzler doesn't do this, until much later. By accident, he'll sneak up, but it just reminds him of all the things he did. It takes a lot of healing for him to start scaring people for fun again.

Bonus:

Yori thinks it's funny. Since they were counterparts, she always had some sense of him. He can't completely sneak up on her, so he had to get creative. He'd follow her around, wait until she got impatient to see him, and then he'd pop out of some weird place no one knew he could get too.

Ram loves it. Yeah it's a little scary but Tron would never really hurt him. And besides, it's fun to wonder where he'll appear next. It's nice getting visited by his friend. He likes to rate how scared he gets, on a scale from 1-10. Tron is always aiming for 8, just enough to scare but not enough to genuinely distress someone. Unfortunately, since Ram enjoys getting scared, it's hard to hit above a 6.

In a perfect world, what would be your TRON 3 pitch?

It will be sooner rather than later when we get some kind of proper teaser for TR3N, and although we have some idea about what the movie will tackle, I am wildly nervous about it, I don't want to come in with the instant negative lens, but I am not feeling as excited about it under the current Disney approach.

Nevertheless, instead of indulging in negativity, I would adore to hear some pitches, if you wanna share or link or if Tronblr sees this haha, about what YOUR TRON 3 movie would look like and cover, whether it's a link to full on fanfic, or a pitch alongside what we know will happen in the movie.

- - - - - -

If you wanna read my ideal TRON 3, it would have these essentials, which will sound SUPER fan service, but just hear me out ight?

The Flynn Spark, the MacGuffin of Admin Privileges.

Ares, a program of the people LEARNS how to steps up.

Beck Lives, Argon doesn't.

Paige learns how to truly redeem herself.

A new trinity is formed (Ares, Paige, Beck) to supersede the last one (Flynn, Clu and Tron).

Full pitch as a read more, chapters go as follows:

The Grid's New Ruler?

Admin Privileges

The Renegade

The Race for Power

The Game of Flynn

The New Grid

THE GRID'S NEW RULER?

Something that I always found unique about The Grid is its insistence on a ruler of some kind, the original system had a master control program, the second had Flynn and then Clu 2.0.

Which then means that by the end of legacy, this is THE FIRST real time without a ruler within the Grid. It seems to me the goal for the actual TR3N movie is indeed to fill in that new blank spot, I don't mind if we get another monarch like ruler, nor would I mind if we had a democratic system haha, however what I do NEED out of that 3rd movie is a ruler which EARNS their seat.

Not by destiny, not by stumbling onto the role, but by knowing the responsibility it would require and to build from there.

Like Duke Leto Atreides would say: "A great man doesn't seek to lead, he's called to it and he answers".

ADMIN PRIVILEGES:

MY PITCH has the following MacGuffin: "The Flynn Spark", –or however you wanna call it– it is the literal admin privileges of the Grid, left behind after Legacy. Whoever touches it, and merges with it will get Flynn's control over the Grid, and a program, for the first time ever, will be the successor.

I am okay if Ares is said program, I have no ... clue... how he will behave, but for my pitch's sake, he pretty much has to be a man of the people, beloved in his region of origin, but naive about the true scale of systematic issues, which he needs to learn about as he travels across the Grid, meeting programs and understanding who willingly supported Clu, who didn't, and the in betweens. (I don't like when systematic issues are approached under the lens of individualism, or of single solutions, Ares is meant to learn that).

As expected, the whole of The Grid is a messy chaos, with no ruler, programs are scared and unsure who they can trust, because Ares has always been such a trustworthy program, people naturally reach out to him, in a similar way programs did to Abel in Uprising.

Whatever town he is from, like all others, is raided, chaotic, dangerous and divided.

THE RENEGADE:

The protector of the Uprising, now known as TRON, but once known as the Renegade, is working overtime.

You see, in my pitch, the true end of Uprising will have Argon destroyed, literally wiped from the code of the Grid after so much damage to the city, few have survived, even less where shown mercy (you can imagine how Bartik got to where he did for example), despite that, Beck kept fighting, after the captured TRON turned Rinzler, he has carried the torch since, improved his skills and brought former enemies to his cause, such as Paige. (Having Paige die as a chip on Beck's shoulder could be an easy escape goat, but I feel she's far too skilled for that, losing a whole city is punishing enough, whether it includes Mara and Zed is irrelevant to the pitch).

I always loved that in Legacy, Flynn surfaces the idea that if him and Sam wait long enough, Clu might be brought down from the inside, to me this has always meant that although we see a Grid seemingly perfectly ruled by Clu, this was always a facade, he very much is THE RULER, but not as absolute as we think, hence why he so desperately needed access to more power through Sam, through the world beyond.

Many, if not all in the grid know that the Renegade isn't actually TRON, maybe they know he's Beck, maybe they don't, but he is the only real contender to uphold order, and he is called into the role of the newest ruler, but without even the little administrative power Clu had, this is instantly not working.

Beck, only manages to become the de-facto ruler of a particular area of the Grid, wherever he had his base of operations, he would summon Ares to consult on the needs of the Grid, and together form a bond to improve their region.

THE RACE FOR POWER:

As time passes the now district based Grid ponders if there is a way to achieve power from what remained of Flynn (it could also be a vision to someone, or a message left behind by the last bit of Flynn, but I like to think that programs would be smart enough to deduce, that someone should be the literal admin in a system).

And as rumors fly, and programs who try to cross the Sea Of Simulation fail to come back, more people agree that whoever does cross CAN restore order to the Grid in whichever way they see fit.

This would mean different factions of all the districts would be in a race against each other, a race to engineer a vehicle capable of getting there, or to derezz the competition so no one can reach it (different factions can have different ideologies), etc, etc.

The best aspect of the additonal TRON Media, like the comics or the show, is its ability to expand the cultures of the Grid, I would want a full showcase of these, of the ones who would work together, and the ones that wouldn't.

THE GAME OF FLYNN:

However it has to be, we have our 3 figures in Paige, Beck and Ares, who race the other district representatives, once their vehicle is built, they ride or fly to the remains of the projector, but in the ever gaming spirit of Flynn, the region has become a literal trial by fire, that has stages in a game like format, to see who can survive reaching the Spark, this was Flynn's last action before dying, protecting what he held dear, Sam and Quorra first of course, but then his people, he basically had to have faith the Grid would survive without him, this is also why other programs who dared to try and cross the sea never came back.

How those stages look or what they represent I have no idea, but the logical thing is that it's both a physical test as well as a psychological one, because this is a pitch I don't know the intricacies of the mental journey's they would all face, but the notion is it would be written well to demand good character arcs and what not.

This would also be where we meet the original TRON once more... Or it could be... Admittedly this is the weakest part of my pitch, as I am unsure how to bring TRON back, honestly I can also imagine a pitch where the first thing Beck did was go and find TRON, but because I want this to be the next phase of the Grid, I honestly want TRON to rest, and live a life that is his, not just under his programming.

But the ever loyal soldier, is also the final stage of the game, not one to beat by fists, but one to win over with their heart.

THE NEW GRID:

Of course however, Tron would instantly clock in Beck and basically let him pass freely, but part of the journey they have gone through would be to understand that Beck is a protector, not a ruler.

Does this mean that then Ares should rule? I still think not, but I think he would earn the Flynn spark nonetheless, but flip the expectations of that head role.

I think of all 3 of my leads, Paige is best fit for the job of a ruler, if I had to understand their roles best, I'd compare it to the original trinity:

Flynn was a creator, and a dreamer. For me, that could be Ares, hence why he was naive at first, but through his journey why he would become a better inventor. A good engineer needs guidance however, and the levelheadedness of Paige, her intelligence, responsibility and essential care for others would make her best to politically lead a society, and to flip the lost cycles of serving under Clu, she would inform Ares of what the Grid needs in a way he couldn't see alone. And Beck, forever the shoulder to rest on, he had found his path a long time ago, but he is finally relieved of the pressure not to be something he is not, but to exceed in what he has always been, a guiding light, a protector, a moral compass, and a leader.

I am sure some fighting would occur anyways, but frankly a stronger Beck and an ever badass Paige would probably win...

This leaves TRON free for once, free to find connection, to find love or whatever he wants... He would still advice from time to time, but I think that's what he deserves after so many years of service.

BUT THAT'S WHY IT'S A PITCH HEHEHEH, not everything is best, and it assumes that upon script conversion the very evident flaws or lack of substance would be better yk?

I dunno, literally just an idea, clearly SUPER heavy on Uprising lore because I love it, but finding ways to assume the presence of Yori, Ram, elements of Identity, etc. I honestly prefer a TR3N that by now just focuses on the Grid, even if the movie will clearly not do that fully hshsh.

Ralph what’s your deal with Jack?? Why are you marrying him

“I got picked. That is all I know. Robert dealt with the negotiations of my marriage. I have never even met the man.”

[fights4users]

The Admin and the old man

Can you imagine what it felt like? After wanting nothing but to face Flynn again, to scream at him, to yell and kick and scream and cry— this is a man you thought of for cycles wanting to destroy him— wanting to ask him, why? You finally face him after thousands of cycles it’s happening and… he’s old.

Clu is faced with this remorseful old man. He looks so impossibly tired, so weak and sad that it practically breaks him. Then Flynn opens his mouth and starts to apologize, the anger becomes confused and it lessens— he’s sorry. But he can’t even apologize right. He makes the effort and he still fails— in fact he essentially calls clu a mistake to his face and makes it about himself then a full apology- he sees clu as his mistake but not his own program. can you fucking imagine that mix of emotions ? Seeing this sad old man in-front of you who can’t possibly be the same man you’ve been harboring all this hate for. But you’ve known nothing but anger and confusion for most of your runtime, what else is there to feel? Then he apologizes… but he’s not… then he’s doing everything in his power to stop you for some stranger— a son. Is that not what you are? The two of you were supposed to build the perfect system (same team? We’re always on the same team.) doesn’t he see this is all you have left- escape is the only way out? No he’s never seen- the anger returns.

Anyways… thinking about how the concept of Aging and children being non existant to programs (there is old programs but it is not a fast process. You’d need to be ancient) and how that plays into the final fight with Clu. How Flynn is so close but so far to understanding where he had messed up, how Clu is in a way the forgotten son.

The absolute desperation of Clu’s face to reach the portal for some mythical better place. It becomes so clear in that moment it was never about domination or control, and it hits me almost as hard as when Sam and Flynn reunite.

Chapter 2: The Next Day

X

Sleep was surprisingly uneventful for the newest member of the Bradley/Flynn household. This however was all from Komet's point of view, and Eve got a completely different perspective.

Komet was out for a few hours while Eve read the book out-loud. He eventually shifted and pulled the blankets closer around him. A little bit later, Komet must've gotten too hot, as he sat up, pulled off the sleep shirt he'd put on and threw it on the floor.

Komet looked in Eve's direction, "Hm"d, and then flopped down to fall back asleep. Throughout the night, he'd twitch and mumble a few words here and there. Even snore a bit before turning over into a better position.

Somewhere closer to 6-7am, Komet grumbled awake and got out of bed. With bleary eyes, he shuffled his way to the bathroom. Eve would then hear the fact that the toilet seat was NOT put back down, but Komet did wash his hands before shuffling back in and into bed. Readers can now put that question to rest.

Come morning, he slowly woke up, but then froze at the unfamiliar surroundings. A moment later, and all the details fell into place.

The battle in Tron City. The User and the Admin. The light of the Portal and Rinzler telling him to go to it. The explosion that threw him against the wall of the Sailor. Eve and Sam. Strangers that didn't belong. No chain of command, only the last order to follow. The User leading him into the light.

He groaned as he realized that wasn't all a dream. He was here in the User world. A fish out of water. If all of that wasn't a dream and was in fact real, then...

Komet focused, shifting through his mind to see if he'd had a dream now that he was in the User world. Nope, nothing. Just and odd sense of loss.

Blue/red eyes looked out from under his covers and around the room...

[rinzler-smoocher]

I think actually, I'd like if Flint had outsmarted Clu by using & abusing an old line of code that Flynn and Flint together wrote at the dawn of the Grid to ensure users wouldn't be able to die in the great big digital beyond, which would be baked into the very fabric of reality keeping the Grid together.

If ever a user would die on the Grid, everything would automatically refresh to the exact state it was in before the death took place and when the last user rezzed in.

The idea was that they'd ensure their little group with admin access would have their memories backed up so they could learn from whatever happened that would lead to one of their deaths and work together to stop it so they aren't stuck in a permanent looping cycle. Meanwhile, every other program would be blissfully unaware they could be living in Groundhog Day lol

In reality, when Flint tries to strike a deal with Clu after he's gone rogue and wound up with Kevin Flynn hiding in limbo, Flint hopes this can be a safety boundary for keeping things civil. Just the same, when their conversation goes sour and Clu instead just wants the user dead, he deals a finishing blow on Flint at once.

But to his ABSOLUTE annoyance, Flint just keeps coming back with more and more fire in his belly, driving Clu fucking INSANE.

And for some reason or another, Rinzler watches this all take place, completely coherent of the time flipping back on itself and lost as all get out when he winds up in the same fights, catches the same discs, is body slammed by the red-haired user in the same way he had done multiple times previously & they clatter on the floor the exact same way they had multiple recycles before, where Flint then scrambles up to Clu's throne room to make another go of a deal with him.

By the 5th time, Rinzler still doesn't know what's happening, but a part of him is refusing to stand still. He's watched Clu kill a user FOUR WHOLE FUCKING times now, and whether he should be aware of it or not, that goes against every line of his coding & Rinzler is NOT having it. So the next time the same fight roles around, Rinzler jumps to Flint's side and fights with him against the rest of Clu's goons.

Flint is taken by total surprise when Rinzler changes his action, but gladly takes the program as his ally & partner as they work together to get to Clu.

So then when they get to Clu's throne room for this fifth time now, Clu's face goes horribly pale when he sees Rinzler has DONE SOMETHING DIFFERENT & when Clu goes to direct his finishing blow at Flint, which would just start this all over again, Rinzler deflects the blow and grabs Flint and makes a total break for it.

Clu forgot Tron was exempt from the recycling refreshing. Tron was exempt from the time loops. So now, Rinzler has seen more than he should have and Clu already knows he may have just sealed his own fate...
