UPDATE

...I did it.

One version of it anyway.

Tron didn't end up getting directly involved...but only because my own possessing-daemon pattern-recognizer decided Clu would fit into it better.

I don't know

I just live in this brain

Daemons: a Recognizer theory

soooooo.

I have an inspiration that I do NOT currently have time to do anything with. BUT, I'm writing it down here, and if anyone else wants to use it in a fic please lemme know so I can read the heck outta that

anyway

so, in programming, a "daemon" is a sorta assistant program that exists just to help another program.

I don't know why they called the Recognizers "demons" in Tron 82, or if anyone was even considering the programming definition when they wrote that line, but I don't care I am gonna run with it

so, suppose that the relationship between a Recognizer and its pilot is like the relationship between a program and the daemon that assists it.

not sure if I want to imagine the Recognizer or the pilot as being the daemon...

but the basic gist is the same. The Recognizer is a living program, like the pilot. And they have to have a special bond in order for the piloting to work

it's like a mech anime

maybe the Recognizer has a humanoid form somewhere inside, like fused into an alcove in the center, and the pilot can interact with that

this is all the reason why being able to control a Recognizer is a big deal. and why Ram was surprised when Flynn was able to do it

but Flynn did more than just control the Reco. It was dead. Whatever consciousness was in it, had been derezzed. and Flynn brought it back to life.

what if he did that by drawing life force from Ram?

which was why Ram started dying right when this happened.

except he didn't die...

look where his derezzing-sparkles go, as they disperse.

Ram became the new consciousness of the Reco-mecha.

and Flynn was able to pilot it from then on because of the bond of friendship/whatever that he'd previously built with Ram

Of course, as with everything Flynn does in the whole movie, he's oblivious to what's going on

so, he doesn't realize that when he crashes the thing, he's leaving Ram there all alone, with no one but that poor Bit to keep him company

(maybe this is why Bit seems to voluntarily let itself get trapped inside the Recognizer there. Maybe it realized that it would rather hang out with Ram than this doofus)

....my point is.

What if this crashed Reco just sits there for a while, unused...

because no one else can form the bond necessary to restore it and get it running again, to become the new daemon-pilot of the Reco-mecha...

...until Tron comes along.

fanfic can take that and run with it.

Some fast renders of Ram and Dyson

Should I post progress pics of my RAM cosplay? I worry about people getting on me for it not being movie accurate.

hi tronblr how do we feel about ram x flynn x tron /pos

[kyuuvoid]

I keep on forgetting to post but tron film strips I got a while back :]

[measlyscrapofseafood]

happy pride

Ram looks familiar….. YOU!

You guys need to understand how this broke my brain. Orignally I thought he looked a bit like Swan from the Warriors(1979) but he would’ve been in Xanadu around the time of Tron. Ram is fucking billy the kid. This man brings a blorbo vibe to everything apparently 😭

Round 1: ALAN BRADLEY vs RAM

[rexwrendraws]

POPCORN PURGATORY 🍿💥 My contribution to the Lost Tales: A Tron Zine ( @losttalestronzine ) featuring my forever favorite program, Ram. Who knows what happens to programs after they derezz?

Designed some Tron emotes over on my etsy! 👾

[astercontrol]

besides the kissing picture (which I just added mistletoe to as an afterthought)... I think this is my only other actual holiday-themed Tron art so far.

Since the beginning of Chanukah coincides with Christmas this year I might as well reblog this along with the other one

(I imagine Roy and Ram would celebrate it together if they got to meet. Ram would be very interested in the story of the miraculously long-lasting energy source. And I'm sure eight Bits would be happy to participate.)

Been meaning to do a full finished color version someday, but life has been a mess for a while.

Someday.

Ok my hands are somewhat recovered from whatever was going on, so I am back to drawing A LITTLE, quick sketches mostly

heres Roy and Ram and the eight-bit menorah

Happy first day of Chanukah

User does not mean maker

User and maker are often thought to mean the same thing within the fandom and in the world itself however this is not always the case.

Our main character’s users just so happen to be their makers in this case because they’re integral parts of the main system. They’re not to be “used” by anyone commercially. Tron is a security program while Yori works in design and fabrication (permanent memory, updates etc). Neither of them are on the commercial everyday use computers. It makes sense for their users to be who made them- as they’re probably the only ones to access them when things are running smoothly.

Ram and Crom however aren’t the same, working for insurance firms and a savings and loan respectively. Crom’s user is “Mr.Henderson” a regional manager while we don’t know Ram’s but it’s probably a lawyer or office worker but not Roy. They’re much more commercial use non system based programs… they’re designed to be in regular access to all sorts of users not just one.

All humans are Users but not all users are Makers, I’d say in technical terms it’s more fitting to say Programs reflect makers but still address them as users.

I’m sure someone who has a actual knowledge in programing and computing could explain this in a far neater fashion.
