#look at that RINZ

[rinzler-smoocher]

You wanted to be sick.

Rinzler was warm beyond all reason and - You had never been so close to him before, so you had no way of knowing -, but he emitted a sort of fuzzy static feeling when he was this close to you.

"Mine, mine, mine..."

His body against yours felt comfortable and familiar, in some way you couldn't place. And the hot shudder that was spreading across your form at his near touch made your brain feel as if it was turning to mush.

"Mine, all mine, all mine..."

He had been trying to kill you for all this time. He was a blood thirsty monster. He was a killer. And here you were, considering giving into whatever he was about to do to you.

This was wrong, so very, very wrong.

But you had no way of escape, so you grit your teeth and let your control cascade out with your released sigh.

You chose to give in.

Rinzler purred with a harsh but pleasant-sounding vrrrrrrrr as your hands shakingly felt your way behind his back. You weren't searching for a hold on his discs to try and disarm him at all, but instead gripped onto him, forcing your fingernails deep enough into the mesh and armor of his suit that you were sure you'd leave little marks of crescent moons in their wake once you released your hold on him.

"Please, just..." you shuffled in his hold briefly, forcing out the question through the fuzzy haze he seemed to be seeping into your fatigued mind. "What do you even want with me?"

Rinzler's helmet tucked closely by your ear again, allowing that warm static to crawl its way deep into your brain, sending a flare of sheer want radiating through you at every pulse of your heart.

"I want... your everything."

A yelp caught in your throat, and with an unexpected roll of Rinzler's hips against yours, it immediately escaped in the form of a surprised cry from your lips.

"You - you must feel it, too," Rinzler mumbled, his words practically slurring together in that electronic drone of his, overwhelmed in pleasure. "We are compatible."

You squeezed your eyes shut, concentrating on the last sliver of your remaining sense of self-control, willing it to not give in as his body continued to press against yours in all the right ways.

"What are you on about?" You tried bracing your hands on Rinzler's shoulder, fumbling for a hold on his strong, solid form, before trying to shove him away from you and create a distance from this warm, smothering, static feeling he was forcing on you.

He didn't budge an inch. Instead, his helmet rubbed closely against your flushed cheek, while his hands easily peeled yours from his shoulders and forced your hands backward beside your head, with his clawed hands gripping firmly to your wrists.

"You beat me in battle. Then, you... you spared me." His voice was quiet, in his form of a whisper, almost sounding like he was in awe or full of admiration in you. "You have been my only thought. I am yours only and you... you must be mine."

His groin pressed temptingly flush yours once more, eliciting a tight groan to slip out of your throat as a knot of pressure wound tighter and even tighter in your core. Your hands clenched and grabbed at the air, finding nothing to hold onto, although Rinzler's hands clenched tighter around your wrists in a way that had you squirming. You gasped out weakly, feeling suffocated in the heat and static pouring from his intense, overwhelming form.

Not water, not food, not energy, not even air.

You wouldn't be able to take much more of this before cracking. You bit on your lip, focusing as intensely as you could, desperate not to let the murderer program break you down despite how much you felt like you needed him more than anything else in the world.

You needed him as much as you were sure he felt he needed you.

"All yours," you whimpered at last, your voice cracking between words. "I'm all yours."

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..."

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 :((((

[whispering-woodlands]

accept your defeat!

NEVER!!!!!!

[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)

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

[whispering-woodlands]

Clu to Tron but also Rinzler to Clu. They both want something they can never have and something that is a replacement for something else.

(Yes the slowed version because I LIKE IT)

[wispydreamsstuffs]

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.
