From @evecolourshock

"Calm down, alright? I know you're hurting, and I know things are confusing, but getting angry with me is not the answer, okay?" Eve asked softly, crouching down and keeping her hands well away from her disc. "Those gashes look painful - rough run-in with those extremists, huh? I have a few patches with me, can I give them to you?" It hurt to see what was left of Tron like this, but... she wouldn't push Rinzler. "I can get you some energy too, if you like."

Rinzler’s body language radiates distrust and pain. Hunched over and head tilted. His face may be covered by a blank helmet but there’s no doubt he’s glaring daggers.

They don’t like accepting help, it shows weakness, imperfection. Especially accepting it from an unfamiliar program.

But… going back to Clu with visibly bad injuries after letting extremists get the jump on him is much worse than a hit to their pride.

“Just the patches…” Rinzler replies sharply.

doodle inspired by @murderbees recent drawing!! i love the shadowed face look sm i had to try it out

[betasuppe]

We never got enough Tron & Alan moments for my liking.

I truly hate to think how after leaving the Encom system, Tron never gets to communicate with his creator-user & personal diety ever again... & that makes me sad :((((

[wispydreamsstuffs]

SHE CAME HOME AT 84 PITY OMYGLAHD 😭😭😭😭😭

[evecolourshock]

Hey Nok? @betasuppe??

....remember that piece we developed together that had Rinz absolutely murking Flynn because he wanted his boyfriend back???

........reckon he'd've gotten this covered in his former friend's blood after shoving his disc through Flynn's back???

inspired by @measlyscrapofseafood 's beautiful idea to just COVER this boy in blood (plus 2 fun lil bonuses)

~☆~

[rinzler-smoocher]

You know how time passes by much MUCH faster in the Grid?

... imagine coming back to the Grid after being away for a few weeks due to some bad illness, injury, or even just going on vacation &

When Tron/Rinz sees the Beacon alight, finally shining it's beautiful ray of hope into his dark shadowed world, he races there on lightcycle to meet you as you rejoin his world, pulling you into a savagely tight hug and raining kisses down on you, desperately hungry for your touch and affection, having been starved of you from any contact for SO SO long now!!! 😭💕😭💕😭💕

What’s the lie your character says most often?

How loosely or strictly do they use the word ‘friend’?

How often do they show their genuine emotions to others versus just the audience knowing?

What’s a hobby they used to have that they miss?

How loose is their use of the phrase ‘I love you’?

Do they give tough love or gentle love most often? Which do they prefer to receive?

When do they fake a smile? How often?

What’s the lie your character says most often?

That he’s fine, not injured or not in pain. Rinzler is at minimum one of these things at all times. My Rinz basically got all the old uprising scars back + new ones when Clu captured him for the last time.

Basically Clu looked at what Dyson did last time but went ‘I can do better’, threw some psychological stuff into the mix and added a few of his own touches. So Rinz is always in pain, because now not only do the scars never fully heal, they never close at all.

Thus keeping them wholly dependent on Clu, he basically needs highly concentrated energy or else his body will start derezzing. Regular energy helps for awhile but not for nearly as long. Basically Uprising but Rinz is dying at a much more accelerated rate than Tron was.

How loosely or strictly do they use the word ‘friend’?

Currently Rinzler doesn’t have anyone they would call a ‘friend’. The closest thing would likely be with Klax, Nord, and Reeve (the security team he worked with in Uprising). Rinzler isn’t sure why but they work together better than the other programs Clu has him work with. And even though they may be annoying little glitches sometimes he almost enjoys the banter between them.

They are still only fellow soldiers though. That’s what Rinzler tells themself every time he feels a bit of disappointment when the team he’s assigned doesn’t have them on it.

How often do they show their genuine emotions to others versus just the audience knowing?

Mainly just the audience, though I write Yori, Clu, and a few others as knowing how to read him well. Rinzler usually shows his emotions via body language and purrs (Unironically, and they hate it, it’s something he very much has to consciously control. Which they do get better with over time).

What’s a hobby they used to have that they miss?

Free will. Painting/drawing, I think Tron was very artistic (mainly inspired by Yori :3). When Clu had Rinzler on less of a tight leash he would let Rinzler have more ‘free time’. But somehow muscle memory and subconscious memory are stubborn as hell and they kept drawing/painting his friends bad programs and the ENCOM grid weird places so Clu quickly stopped that.

How loose is their use of the phrase ‘I love you’?

Restraining myself from going on a multi page rant of Rinzler and Clu’s relationship.

If we are going off the last time Rinzler said I love you, it was after Yori’s death (kneeling over a pile of voxels and screaming).

They haven’t said it since, so very strict no usage, at least verbally.

Do they give tough love or gentle love most often? Which do they prefer to receive?

Tough love definitely. You know how a parent shakes their kid after they decided to play hide and seek in a giant mall for three hours? Rinzler constantly has to do that with Klax, Nord, and Reeve.

They don’t ever seem to stay out of trouble for more than two clicks but they are good at their jobs and though Rinzler wants to punch them sometimes they don’t make him want to throw himself back in the Sea of Simulation like 99% of the rest of the Occupation does.

When it comes to receiving, Rinzler due to various past and current circumstances, would prefer neither. But they are most familiar with tough love, so that’s what they would ‘prefer’. He has absolutely no idea what constitutes genuine tough love vs physical abuse when it comes to Clu or those that have power over him.

For Rinz love intrinsically equals pain, because Clu ‘loves’ him enough to rip out the awful ‘virus’ that constantly regrows in his system from his dip in the Sea of Simulation.

When do they fake a smile? How often?

Rinzler’s face under his mask is 90% of the time deadpan thousand yard stare of a wet exhausted gremlin who is done with everything and everyone. 9% of the time snarling or baring his teeth like a rabid dog, and 1% of the time genuinely smiling because he just pushed Dyson down the stairs.

If im being serious, probably only when Clu lets him take off his helmet. Which is not very often. Even then they are very conscious to keep their face controlled depending on what he thinks Clu wants to see. (This is not the case when his helmet is busted after Legacy. Rinz is so used to having his helmet cover his face that he just doesn’t really know how to control his face?? They were only really conscious of it when Clu was around because of the conditioned response he instilled.)

[measlyscrapofseafood]

clu literally isn’t the jealous type. why would you think that

[riinzler]

crumbs to fuel my insanity

what if in a post legacy setting rinzler moved back into his hideout in the outlands from tron uprising with the bit and yori gridsuit from able’s office

[betasuppe]

After really warming up to Flint occasionally pressing a kiss or two to Rinz's helmet, Rinz himself wants to kiss Flint back so badly but isn't capable yet of removing his helmet... so instead after getting the next highly anticipated smooch from Flint, Rinz launches into Flint with the biggest headbutt he can muster... completely knocking Flint unconscious & with a bad nosebleed to boot lmao

just got the gayness at 8 pity on jingliu's banner + i got himeko's lightcone on my first ten pull on the lightcone warp(?)

[retrosofa]

I'm going nuts over some rare model sheets for the Tokimeki Tonight anime that have popped up on Twitter and Mandarake.

It looks like Shinya Takahashi drew all the model sheets for the recurring cast, despite the fact he only did animation for two episodes. Judging by the DVD booklet, guest characters were designed by whichever animation director was handling that specific episode.

Here's a wild discovery: Rinze was supposed to appear as teenager in episode 29! I always thought it was weird they omitted teen Rinze from the manga.

There's a model sheet for naked Shun, which shouldn't surprise me because there were also ones for Ranze and Kaede. Looks like the comment says something like, guys in shoujo manga have more feminine-shaped bodies?? Lol.

[rinzler-smoocher]

Having Rinzler chasing after you in Clu's Grid, not sure if he's after you because he wants to kill you, present you to his leader, or what. You've seen him derezz other programs who've targeted you without a spare thought.

Apparently, the saying that "the enemy of my enemy is my ally" did not compute for him in any capacity.

He wanted you for himself.

Anyone who wished harm on you immediately put a target on their own back before they could even risk spilling a drop of your blood. It was reassuring in a way, but horrifying how this masked monster seemed determined to be the one to take you down, personally.

By foot, by lightcycle, or even by fucking lightjet, it didn't matter. He was on your heels from the start, almost playfully providing you a few moments of headstart before he'd tackle you and spar with you, discs refracting into one another in terrible clashes and batons extending to swords and bo staffs to try and take each other down.

You kept managing to get away, but Rinzler's relentless pursuit of you wore you down, kept you constantly at a hairsbreadth of breaking from the nonstop tension. You never had a moment to rest, a moment to stop. Just tracking down some source of energy before blasting off to some other corner of the Grid itself.

Still, it was only a matter time before you would need to get some serious sleep, and you had been ignoring it as long as you could.

But after having eluded Rinzler for multiple day-cycles, you hastily made a makeshift hideout in a little dingy town far off from the bright lights of Tron City and once you felt as though you were hidden and safe, you crashed into your pathetic excuse for a bed and fell into a deep, dark nap that blurred the time as you slept through electric dreams and nightmarish entities of glowing embers chasing you and hunting you for sport...

You woke up in a hazy daze, seeing the world around you enveloped in black, but...

No.

The world wasn't black, Rinzler was there crouched over top of you, leering intensely at you from his position with his hands and knees framing your body.

You took in a sharp, fragmented breath at the borderline of entering a full panic as he lingered there.

How the hell did he find you? Was this it? Were you just doomed from the beginning? Was he destined to kill you this whole time?!

As he bent nearer you, you winced and turned your face away from him to the side, clenching your eyes shuts and trying to block out whatever he'd do next. Considering how obsessed he had been with you this whole time, he'd likely had designed the most demented way to take your life with his own two hands.

Your blood ran cold though as the warm, reflective metal of Rinzler's helmet pressed against the base of your neck, with Rinzler resting his head there at your shoulder. Then, slowly but surely, his entire body shifted to be flat against you.

His chest armor was flush against your heaving ribs, with his hands splayed out, gripping intensely at the bedding just to the left and right of your head, peeling it and shredding it with his gleaming claws. His legs were still alongside yours, trapping you under him, with his pelvis resting just above yours.

You felt like you were being suffocated, his presence demanding more and more of you, forcing every particle of air out between your bodies, as if he was trying to merge you both into one being. All the while, he nuzzled his helmet against your neck and shoulder, a heady growl-purr echoing out through his distorted and damaged vocal functions, buzzing each and every sound he made directly though your form.

Your arms trembled, your breathing was rapid and unsteady, gasping for breath as the warmth radiated off of Rinzler and he closed in on you in every imaginable way possible, until his helmet pressed against your ear - sending an uncontrollable ripple of shivers down your spine - when he took a raspy breath and began murmuring to you in an attempt of a whisper:

"Finally... All mine, mine, mine, mine, mine..."
