Please no one ever ask me to draw '82 armor again. There's so many circuits </3

But anyhow- please accept more Tron art <3

jeff bridges to steven lisberger after messing around with his circuit colors

One of the realest comments I’ve ever read

[anonmonitor]

Do you think that the Mandatory Hacking Device in Tron 3 is going to be a flipper zero?

[astercontrol]

Pattern Recognizer: what if the four Disc-horsemen of the apocalypse arrived on Lightcycles

me: this is not a normal Christmas morning thought

Pattern Recognizer: it is Christmas EVENING 

me:  sorry, night shifts have ruined my vocabulary 

Pattern Recognizer: also we have never had a normal thought on any day of our life

Me: point taken

Pattern Recognizer: so what color would their circuits be

Me: the... Disc-horsemen?

Pattern Recognizer: yeah. I mean Cyberwarfare can be red no problem, that makes perfect sense look at the MCP

Me: I have to start work 

Pattern Recognizer: and Power Outage having a plain black Lightcycle with no glowing circuits at all, that fits with Famine's black horse

Me:.....

Pattern Recognizer: but Pestilence is white, and Virus has to be yellow, it just has to

Me: why? Abraxas?

Pattern Recognizer: and Thorn, and arguably Clu1. Also, I can't give Death blue circuits and it's pissing me off

Me: why the hell do you want to give Death blue circuits 

Pattern Recognizer: I have to! But I can't because death had a PALE horse

Me: ....uhhh....pale blue then I guess?

Pattern Recognizer: NO IT HAS TO BE THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH SHADE

Bio on my second Tron OC (1982/Encom Grid), Val!!

Designation: Program (Encom Grid) Name: Val (Short for "Vending/Retail All-In-One Logistics", also a play on the name Valerie) Username: Her User is Tiffany (aka Tiff) Pronouns: she/her Age: (Complied sometime in the early 80s) Occupation: Retail Database Management, retail music play tracking.

Height: 5'7" / 171cm

Build: Average build, Slightly above average fat to muscle mass Hair: When she's not wearing a helmet: dark shade of gray (since it's the Encom grid), bangs, hair held in a high off-center ponytail by a circuit covered scrunchie. Eye color: dark gray Light line color: hot pink (like, OBVIOUSLY!) Appearance: Body-wise, Val shares the exact same appearance as Tiffany: Average, more on the curvy side. In most Games, she'll wear the typical warrior helmet, but outside of that (or in games that aren't as dangerous), she'll wear her hair out with a circuit-covered headband covering her forehead. Her outfit: A full-body grid suit, similar to most of the typical program outfits, except a lot more "thin" and with not too many circuitry patterns. Near the neckline, there's a circuit with a shape in the middle that gives off the impression of a necklace. Right above her knees, she has a circuit pattern that looks like a chevron. Over that, she wears a high-cut aerobics style leotard that has a bit more complex circuit patterns all along the length of the front. On the back, there are a few more patterns (including circular ring-like paths on each side contouring…umm… the butt shape). Over that, she has the typical warrior belt. On top, she wears an off-shoulder crop top made of a similar fabric to the warrior togas/loincloths. She also wears wrist gauntlets similar to Clu1, along with form-fitting gloves on her hands. On occasion, she will wear neon glowing "jelly bracelet"-like…bracelets that hang somewhat loose from the wrist guards (they're loose but they don't fall, almost like the bracelets are magnetic to the wrist guards. She has legwarmers similar to Yori, with a broad horizonal circuit stripe that encircles near the top of it. Her "shoes" under that look similar to a basic, digital version of Reebok high-tops, with no lacing. About: Val was compiled in Encom's mainframe, in a sector used for projects and more consumer-friendly programs. She was originally written to track retail clothing sales, which she thinks is like "so, TOTALLY cool to see trends and top sellers!" Over time, she gained new tasks from her user, including music jukebox play tallies, and even as a scheduling utility for aerobics classes. She befriended Clu1 from a chance encounter (he explained to her that his user Flynn was trying to fix some overcharges on some shirts.) She would occasionally accompany him in his tank on his many (not-so-legal) adventures to please Clu's user….. …and also because Val was TOTALLY hooking up with him constantly.

Personality: Val has the spirit of Tiffany embedded in her, and of course, that means she's an 80's valley girl at heart. She is high-energy, with a heavy valspeak accent (which translates into the system as program/grid twists on a few different sayings). She's always eager to meet new programs and recruit them into her friend circle. When she (or her friends) are intimidatedor threatened, she can become a ruthless Mean Girl (RIP to all the red warrior elites that crossed her path the wrong way). Sometimes her passions get the best of her, and she can get easily annoyed when things don't end up the way she had originally calculated. Despite being written for retail and basic music data maintenance, she LOVES the games (when they're safe for everyone). She's also got a lustful side like Tiff that tends to make her a little too mischeivous at times.

Can others draw this OC?: YES FOR BOTH SFW AND NSFW!! (just let me know first )

Not to mention:

And the CONSTANT use of abstract BDSM style energy panel walls on poor Clu1 and Dumont!

Hot Take but Tron Universe (and in summary, the Grid) is kinky af. What. What do you mean we all have to wear skin tight suits, no matter our age or physical form? What do you mean everything is neon and dark and sexy? What do you mean the whole place is run by the younger version of a man who looks like a Greek God and has the pride that could make the sin of the same name blush?

This needs to be studied or at least written fanfiction about and by God, I will do my part.

AU where everyone plays the following band instruments:

Tron plays the French horn. They require a strong ear and strong breath, and sound super heroic.

Yori plays the flute. Though usually underestimated, they require tons of air power.

Flynn is a saxophonist. Loyal but a bit overbearing and obnoxious sometimes.

Alan plays the bassoon. Between his long fingers, strong ear, and mile long stubbornness, he'd be a perfect fit.

Lora is second chair clarinet but is catching up with principal fast.

Clu1 plays percussion. Idk, I think he would like it.

Clu2 is an oboe player. Nearly every oboe player I have ever met is an extreme perfectionist, which is kinda required to keep the instrument from sounding like a goose.

Ram would have fun on the trombone.

Sark plays the euphonium, thinking he was big and bad but has nothing on the tuba.

Dillinger seems like a flute player to me, but like...a toxic one.

Gibbs is principal clarinet. He takes Lora under his wing, even if ge can be a little overbearing.

Dumont would be a tuba played because he is powerful.

Sam Flynn would probably like the trumpet or percussion.

Quorra would definitely like percussion.

Beck started off on Saxophone, but decided to change and is now taking French horn lessons from Tron.

Zed is a clarinet player, but not one of the top chairs. He tries, though.

Mara is the bass trombone player. She's one of a kind and has the strength to get out those low notes.

Able is the principal percussionist, and keeps the rag tag team of percussionists under control.

Paige is that one musical prodigy. Every band has at least one. She grew up playing the piano and violin, but she loves playing the trumpet.

Pavel is also a trumpet player (derogatory).

Tesler plays the tuba.

Dyson plays the Saxophone. He's the sneaky little snitch.

Cyrus got kicked out of band for harassing other students.

i LOVE when fics/fanart/fancomics portray clu2 as kevin’s evil son. it’s so funny to me. especially when they include sam and clu1 in it too so it’s like “hello i’m kevin flynn and this is my son sam, my son clu, and my other son clu (evil)”

[artistic-lightcycle-main]

Clu's circuitry is love. Love the color, love the Design. In both movies. (Also uprising I guess but Clu's in it in like 5 shots or so)

[jet-bradley]

Thinking about clu1 today lads

[anonmonitor]

Au where clu1 lives and Flynn ports him over to the grid and they're basically like bill and ted
