Josh: Some people are like slinkies.

Tamika: Explain?

Josh: Relatively useless, but they still make you smile when you push them down the stairs.

Cali: You could've died, Flynn!

Flynn: I wasn't hurt that badly. The doctor said all of my bleeding was internal.

Flynn: That's where the blood's supposed to be!

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."

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.

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...

[royal-jalph]

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.”

[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...

[incorrect-skylanders-quotes]

(Flynn and Hugo are wearing snazzy tuxedos)

Flynn: (holding phone) Hey Siri, call us daddy!

Siri: …I don’t see a father in your contacts. What is your father’s first and last name?

Hugo: (trying to hold in laughter)

Flynn:

[whispering-woodlands]

What are your Tron/Yori/Able head-canons? So nice seeing other people pairing them!

Anon I don’t know who you are but I love you, I’m spinning you around happily. Thank you for giving me an excuse to ramble about them!

(For context I hc Tron Yori and Able as bi and poly ((and Tron being on the ace spectrum)))

I think it took awhile for Yori to be transferred over to the Grid, so Tron was without his primary/first counterpart for awhile. Being on the Grid was lonely at first, Flynn made it well known about Tron’s past achievements on the Encom system and about being the Grid’s primary protector. So most programs saw Tron as a figurehead or tool rather than an individual program.

This left Tron with really only having a few close genuine relationships. One with Flynn, his third counterpart who was a User that was away for several cycles at a time. And with Clu, which was a complicated relationship at the very least. Tron cared for Clu as a friend (Clu wanted more but Tron was firm in seeing Clu as only a friend), but also had to balance supporting Clu’s continued building of the Grid and being the only one who could stand up to the Admin.

Tron did care deeply about his security team but it took awhile for him to get used to working in one as he mostly worked by himself in the Encom system. Team bonding was also cut short at first because in the beginning it was only Shaddox and Oracle, but Oracle was derezzed after a particularly large nest of Gridbugs got into the main city. Tron blamed himself for Oracle’s passing, seeing it as a failure in his leadership.

It was later when Tron had been sent to a less well known bar on a low priority alert for noise disturbances that he met Able. Clu and his team had recommended that he go on leave for awhile but Tron refused to stop working, so they compromised with having Tron do less dangerous civilian work. After sitting there for at least a milli with no excessive noise at all Tron was grateful for the suprisingly candid and enjoyable conversation Able had with him.

Then, Able excused himself, went up on the bar’s stage, and played the loudest music Tron had ever heard in his entire runtime. All the while Able had the most satisfied and smug look on his face, like he was daring Tron to shut down the show that had now attracted a large amount of programs for such a small bar.

Tron didn’t. Instead he found himself going to each of Able’s shows. Trying to convince the program to find a better place that could fit a larger audience and not produce so many angry neighbors. Able seemed to only take that as a challenge, his shows grew more and more more popular until people sat on the sidewalks outside the bars just to hear his music. And Tron continued going to each show, even as Able teased him relentlessly. They began to spend time together afterwards and Tron learned Able was a mechanic. As time passed they began to meet with each other completely seperate from the shows.

One day construction began on a stadium, one that once completed had Clu personally invite Able to play at as the first ever show. Tron said nothing, but Able knew he had something to do with it. After the show Tron asked Able if he would be his counterpart. Able happily agreed. (Musician Able inspired by Wynandcore!! Look at his art!!!)

When Yori was finally transferred to the Grid, Tron introduced her to Able. Tron had spoken of Yori to Able before, the two were surprisingly alike and they established a relationship as well. It wasn’t long before all three were living together.

They had many cycles of being happy together. All of them working to help make the Grid a safe and prosperous place.

Unfortunately all three started drifting apart a bit when the riots between Basics and ISOs reached their peak. Able abandoned being a musician and became a mechanic full time. Moving to Argon to make a garage there that would be a safe working place for betas and other programs seeking a place away from Clu’s primary place of power, in hopes that it would help prevent some of the innocent bloodshed. Yori focused on helping make hidden sanctuaries for ISOs and leading as many as would follow to them. Tron continued to try and make peace between the two groups while struggling to find common ground between Flynn and Clu so the two could work to fix the situation and the instability of the Grid’s system.

After the coup both Able and Yori thought that Tron was dead. Able buried himself deeper in his work and became even more protective of the family he had built at the garage. Yori basically dropped off the map entirely, continuing to help the remaining ISOs move from sanctuary to sanctuary as the Admin’s forces scoured the system.

Able was the first Tron reconnected with after he was back to as best health as he could with just Cyrus’ help. In turn Able was able to contact Yori through an old meeting place that they were to only ever use in case of emergency. Together Yori and Able built the healing tank Tron had in the Spire.

The three of them along with Cyrus began to establish a network of anti Occupation programs. Unfortunately it didn’t last long. Cyrus began to change, and the entire network collapsed. Trust was shattered, lives were lost and Able left the network as well as his counterparts. Yori invited Tron to leave with her to try and start again, form a new rebel network. But with Tron’s scars steadily worsening and his own trust in himself shattered after his failure with Cyrus he elected to stay on his own so he wouldn’t be a liability to anyone else.

The second time Tron was captured, due to the circumstances Yori (and if we are going with a canon divergence where Uprising ep didn’t end like that) and Able both assumed that Tron was dead. That time they were mostly correct, Tron was gone. But Yori would connect with Rinzler a few times pre Legacy and Yori and Able both would establish a relationship with Rinzler post Legacy.

Okay anyways uh… the hcs yeah. The thing the whole ask was about. These Hcs are all pre-coup.

-Able was very adventurous and a trouble maker when he was younger. He didn’t have the hero worship most programs had for Tron, which Tron both loathed and appreciated. Appreciated because Able saw him as an individual and loathed because Able would not hesitate to call Tron out on self destructive or stupid behavior. When Able first met Tron he would enjoy teasing/messing around with him especially when Tron was on duty or around with his team (both of which reminded him a LOT of Yori before she was transferred onto the Grid as well.)

-Tron likes dropping off energy and treats for Able and Yori at their jobs whenever he knows they have long shifts or if they’ve been stressed lately. If he isn’t able to drop it off personally one of the members of his team will, and Tron will always make sure there is a loving note attached. Gifts are his most common form of showing affection.

-Able and Yori keep all the notes that Tron writes for them in a special jar.

-Yori will drive Able around town sometimes to help him sleep. The sound of the engine helps and it’s a nice silent way for them to both just relax. In turn Able will also help talk through any issues Yori is having with projects when she has trouble relaxing or sleeping. They usually get through at least two or three before falling asleep against each other on wherever they sat.

- Yori also enjoys taking Tron and Able on Solar Sailer trips and talking about how the whole transport system works. She’s very proud of it after all.

-Tron likes to show off (extra) in the Games whenever Able and Yori are watching.

-Cuddle piles!!!! After a long day they will all curl up together with at least four blankets that will likely all end up on the floor by the beginning of the next work cycle. Able and Yori are both responsible for all of Tron’s (very few) late days. How can he say no when his two wonderful counterparts look at him like that? Maybe he can stay recharge with them for just a few more nanos….

TMNT Fic and Comic Recs

An ongoing list. Feel free to drop more in the notes!

(tw: strong language for the majority of these. Mind the tags and be safe!)

AO3 Authors:

T33la, (mostly ’03 with a heavy IDW influence), anything they write is great—a little spooky at times, but always with lots of comfort in the end. Personal favorite at the moment: “The Gauntlet” (but all of their stuff is seriously so good)

Flynne, (mostly ’03), I’m still reading all of their stuff (lots of one-shots with a few longer fics), but liking what I see so far, lots of really good hurt/comfort. Personal favorite fic at the moment: “Collector”

Halogalopaghost (halogalopaghost), (’03), mostly one-shots to fill in between the lines of canon. Personal favorite fic at the moment: “Doctor On Call”

AO3 Fics:

"Pretend that I Never Left" by redstringraven (sirimiri), ('03 x HZD), tw violence, during the Ultimate Drako fiasco, Mikey is taken to a different reality where animal-like machines roam the land and people live in tribes. Technically a crossover with Horizon Zero Dawn but no prior knowledge of the game is necessary! Mikey-centric long fic

"How to accidentally kidnap yourself several times over" by Camildeni, (Rise x '03 x '12 x Bayverse), instead of getting himself out of a sticky situation, Rise!Mikey accidentally brings more of himself into it. Very fun and creative

"Looking for a Furr-Ever Home" by The67ImpalaDragonChild, ('03), each of the boys gains a new companion through various means. Adorable, also has hurt/comfort and holiday feels

"Little Kid with a Big Death Wish" by remrose, (Rise), tw dissociation and suicide attempt, Leo-centric recovery fic after the movie, very well written and focuses on non-linear (but upward!) healing. Can be intense at some parts. Excellent hurt/comfort

“I May Be Invisible, But I Still Look Good” by Dandy (@dandylovesturtles), (Rise), Leo gets mystically separated from his body and his brothers go through a lot to get him back. Dandy also has other Rise one-shots that I enjoyed (especially “Tapping Out”)

"Underdark" by Nekotsuki, '03, Mikey-centric, a bit of a whump fic but with a happy ending, very well written and one I go back to a lot

“A Tale of Spirits” by unorthodoxx (@\unorthodoxx-page), (Rise x atla), I don’t usually do cross-fandom fics like this, but this one works for me. The Rise boys end up in the atla universe because of mystic stuff and no one believes them when they say they aren’t magic spirits.

“Ghost in the Shell” (’03 x Rise), “Fusions” (’12), “The Great Skittle Heist of 2105” (’03 au), and the “Please Just Let Them Hug” series (’03 canon compliant one-shots) by AmevelloBlue (@\amevello-blue). Good hurt/comfort

“Carapace” by SkeletalConstellation (@\kettle-bird), a Rise fic based on some events in the IDW comics

“Picking up the Pieces” by Andromedabrown, GalacticDreamer, ParvumAutomaton, (Rise) pretty long but has very intricate plot. Leo accidentally ends up mystically connected to his shattered sword and his brothers go on a wild adventure to get him back

“The Last Ronin Becomes a Discord Admin” by MelonPalooza (@\melonpalooza), (’03 x ’12 x Rise), a classic in the fandom. Has some great humor and drama. Also has a one-off crossover with “Ghost in the Shell” that was a wild ride.

“Sanctuary” by RealityBreakGirl, (’03), just a nice and fluffy one-shot, Donnie and Raph centric

“A truly French experience” by Get_dunked_off, (Rise), one-shot of Leo defending Hueso’s honor from rude customers

"Ice Cream Makes Everything Better" by mathmusic8 (yours truly :D), ('03), a series of canon compliant one shots to fill in some comfort gaps for the '03 show

"Wow, What a Coincidence" by mathmusic8 (me again ^.^), ('03 x '12 x Rise), a separated AU where the '03 boys get lost and each raise one of the Rise kids and then the kids all end up in the same summer camp. The '12 boys are camp councilors. Rise-centric. Crack fic treated seriously

Tumblr Comics:

“Cass Apocalyptic Series” by @\somerandomdudelmao, (Rise), fandom classic, bad future timeline comic, this series (the “Can you carry your uncles” episode in particular) got me interested in tmnt in the first place, canon compliant

"Swantello" by @\tangledinink, (Rise), a rottmnt x swan lake crossover we didn't know we wanted

"Krang Infection" by @\abbeyofcyn, (Rise), set a year after the movie. Donnie gets a krang parasite that makes him go feral turtle for a while

"Unmutated Donnie" by @\onejellyfishplease, (Rise), Donnie ends up as an unmutated softshell turtle but keeps his brain. Very cute, fun, and Donnie's snoot is the best thing on the planet XD

"Kid Leo Au" by @\angelpuns, (Rise), when Leo came out of the prison dimension he accidentally turns himself into a kid, very cute and has good hurt/comfort feels

Clu wasn't even out that long. And he felt like he was coming out a sleep cycle. He saw Flynn there and he recalled that they had some sort of cease fire to stabilize the Grid.

No doubt the User would go back into hiding once it was all over. Avoiding any and all repercussions of just leaving everything behind.

While he inwardly grumbled to himself. He ran system diagnostics on himself to give himself some sort of explanation as to why he had collapsed. There were the likely suspects of not getting enough sleep and neglecting his energy intake. Flynn traits he suspected.

Even after everything he had done. Short of changing his appearance entirely. Even after everything. Flynn was still there despite the Admin's best attempts to rid his code of the User.

"How long do you plan on sitting there?" He asked, more out of curiosity than anything else.
