Program sense headcanons in Tron.

I have many so there's a readmore

Programs have different senses or level of sensitivity based on their function. They can change if upgraded; Tron shares some of his monitor senses with Beck using the disc

Programs designed to monitor a system or involved in communication have heightened senses, and a lot of processing capacity for them. Some programs are designed to get a broad idea of everything, while others are more specialised

Some see the program equivalent of shrimp colours - seeing radio waves is common in tower guardians or those who communicate with the internet.

Programs do not have a sense of smell

Less of a sense of taste than humans (they usually just eat energy, which tastes mostly similar. They can tell if it’s poisoned. Like irl, water from different taps tastes different but not by much.)

They DO have electroperception, and some have thermoception. Same with grid wildlife like bits.

A combination of the two above things lets monitors do that footprint-seeing thing that Dyson and Rinzler do (even if not directly linked in to be able to see system logs for that area)

Structures and vehicles give off different electrical frequencies. Programs whose function is related to those buildings can sense them, and receive signals from that which can hold information and helps them know where to go like they're ants following pheromone trails. e.g. programs in charge of the trains will have Train Sense

Messing with the above is totally what they used to control people in frame of mind

Programs also have their own signature they can use to tell each other apart

Electrical signals as nonverbal communication. Can communicate with Bits or Bytes this way

This thing that electric fish do called jamming avoidance

Programs can be linked with each other, common in counterparts or parent/child pairings (as in the computer version of parent and child), and share information with each other over the link like telepathy

Full black circuit-covering suits like Rinzler’s are stealthy both due to not giving off light, and masking the electrical signature of a program. They can disguise themselves as others using a similar principle

Users give off electricity, so they seem like a program to other programs on first glance, but those who know what to look for can tell the difference. Given it’s used in communication, programs can get confused talking to users as their electrical impulses don’t follow the same rules, but they can loosely interpret them with practice

Imagining Tron or other monitors getting sensory overload if network traffic is too high, or if in the outside world and standing among a bunch of computers/phones/servers/radio towers etc.

Programs in the outside world get pretty much none of the electrical feedback they’re used to, which can be unsettling for them

Idk how it would be different for Isos. I imagine there’d be a lot of similarities but their senses adapt/change based on their circumstances - getting stronger when needed and weaker when not

Imagine, for a moment, a world where Gento being Blazar’s host became known to his team, his wife (who has Opinions for consideration later), and his son.

Imagine, for a moment, Jun, being seven, becoming interested in getting a pet. Except they can’t do a cat or a dog; the apartment doesn’t allow them.

Imagine, for a moment, Jun, while talking to his dad an about his work with Blazar (who is still the coolest hero ever) having the realization Firdran is Blazar’s pet. Blazar is part of the Hiruma household. Therefore, Firdran is, by default, the Hiruma family pet.

Imagine, for a moment, Jun realizing they have a kaiju firebird dragon as a pet and not a single person in the household has made sure to take it for walks! Or gotten it meals! Or - or - or -!

Imagine Blazar, being Blazar, does not want Jun to be upset. Gento, being Gento, wants to give his son the world. And his brilliant son does have an excellent point: Firdran is an important member of SKaRD, even if he is a giant flaming space kaiju. Now imagine -

Gento: “This is Hiruma.” <pause> “Yes, sir, Earth Garon is deployed in the Japanese Alps.” <pause> “Eh? No, sir! Of course we’re not playing fetch with Blazar’s pet! Firdran is helping us with materials stress testing and pilot training! It only looks like we’re playing fetch!”

patreon keeps hounding me with new, increasingly obnoxious ways to harass my followers into subscribing and I'm just. stop it. I refuse to be part of the system making the modern day internet completely insufferable. leave me and my followers alone they'll subscribe if they want to and if they don't it's none of my business. god.

Here's a kind of experimental lineless A.B.A from memory to keep up the good habits of this blog. Then I got carried away and did some creative writing that you can read under the cut if you'd like. It can be interpreted as the picture's context, or as an unrelated scenario.

Warning for a homunculus with shitty bad mental health:

"A.B.A stood there, in the middle of the cold night, seen by... who cares? as she stared at the broken window of that room, which had once been her prison, her flask, so to speak.

Even though it had now been years since her great escape, the location could nowadays elicit the same strong feelings as it did on day one, though that wasn't shown in her outward expression: seemingly fully blank, aside from a flicker in her eyes.

That room was still invisibly asphyxiating, still like if its walls murmured to her again that, were anything to happen to her... No one would care. And that statement had something that broke her, and it wasn't just due to its cruel face-value.

Think about it; being the way she was created, her biggest virtue was being able to excel human limitations: she could come out unscathed from almost any wound if blood was abundant, and was effectively able to give senescence the middle finger.

But here she was, hurting from the sight of an empty room, that, logically speaking, posed no more chagrin or danger. So, she mentally wasn't able to completely excel humans, as from what she knew, even they must have surely thought of this behaviour as weak and deranged. If we were so kind, a mistake-a shortcoming of the mind.

If these sorts of shortcomings kept piling up... Then what was even that she excelled at?

I think my inability to be consistent about sizes implies that expecting tongue makes you larger? I have elected not to worry about that

on the last episode of season 2 of bllk. THIS SHIT IS SO FUCKING INSANE I LOVE IT...just experienced the moment where rin gets crazy eyes and goes ILL MANGLE YOU while isagi is reflected in his spiralling eye. WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM . so excited for this next episode. nobody here is normal about soccer amen. additional time REMAINS silly!! :3

RIN MY BABYGIRL. HES FUCKING INSANE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM. ok i know what’s wrong with him but like come on dude do we NEED to go nuts about some sibling squabbles (yes. yes we do. dw rin i get you.) (also rinsagi……. i rotate them in my mind a lot i love rival dynamics)

literally everyone in blue lock is insane for one reason or another though, you’re so right, so yknow this is just how it goes (and this is why we love them)

also yesss i love all the additional times they’re soooooo. let my boys be a little silly sometimes :3333

My partner finally finished BG3 but has no idea that his ending was actually bad cause he was a pro-Vlaakith githyanki who rode off with Lae'zel but got NO EPILOGUE where Withers points out y'all died im 😭😭😭

they have no idea what happened with Gale or anyone else (who was still alive) after flying away 🙃🙃🙃

tooley's redesign is going :/ (too many possibilities!), so I thought i'd study his album art design for some direction
