Just found out Cindy Morgan has passed away. What an awful way to start the new year, as a TRON fan.
Rest in peace Cindy, you will be greatly missed. 😥

They are shown from the chest up.They are standing close to each other and Kevin had an arm around each of their shoulders. they are smiling at the camera. The background is a dark gradient. The drawing has a light border around it to emulate a Polaroid photo and writing at the bottom reads “July 9 1982″. End ID.]

Thinking about them again your honor.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s about how Lora/Yori is always the guide, always knows just where to go and what to do and how Alan/Tron happily go along with it. They trust she knows best (they’re also a total sap about her)
It’s the “if I’m not holding your hand right now I’ll explode”. They’re so touchy and my heart can’t take it? Lora/Yori has a tendency to cling to his arm, press herself into his shoulder and it’s absolutely everything.
Also no one talks about how funny the arcade scene is, Lora is just giggling and dragging him along as Alan is going through increasing stages of ‘oh my god what have I got myself into- what is this guy’ — this arcade serves all ages and demographics and somehow he still sticks out! In this case it’s a reverse where Lora is the one to ‘protect’ him and I’m going to loose it.

I often picture Alan Bradley as being a stiff, humorless, nerdy, prim and proper, by-the-books sort of person, as opposed to the wild and crazy maverick Kevin Flynn. However, there are some parts of the original Tron film that indicates that Alan has a slightly daring and rebellious side to him as well. One of these is the fact that he rather nonchalantly saunters into the laser research bay while the laser is being tested, just wearing his regular office suit, when everyone else there are wearing overalls, hardhats and protective goggles. And he knows that the laser is powerful enough to "disintegrate" things, he says so himself!
Tumblr media
It's especially funny in the first draft of the film script, where it's described that he casually dodges a wayward laser beam when he walks inside the bay. Lora must be really irritated with him for not taking her tech seriously.

I'm awake in the middle of the night still thinking about how Unusual the romantic subplot is in Tron 1982.
So, when I was growing up there was a formula most movies followed. If there was a romance, it would usually go like this:
Main character is single at the beginning. He's a regular guy, not particularly book-smart or serious or responsible, just a relatable dude. He likes women but doesn't currently have one in his life.
He meets the love interest. She's conventionally attractive, not particularly interesting personality-wise, and in most cases she's single too. If she has a guy of her own, he's clearly shown to be a Bad Guy.
Main Character and Love Interest fall in love. This follows one of a few common tropes. Usually either Instant-Mutual-Attraction-then-Fight-then-Makeup, or He-Likes-Her-She-Hates-Him-and-he-Persistently-Wins-Her-Over. If she has a boyfriend, this will involve a breakup and probably a fight where Main Character triumphs over him.
Then they live happily ever after, and the movie closes with the satisfaction of having shown the Relatable Regular Guy Getting The Girl because he's the Main Character and deserves it.
Now, contrast this with the love story in Tron, and see how I'm blown away:
Main Character is (sorta) the Regular Guy trope: he's said to be a computer genius, but too fun-loving and irresponsible to get very far in life with it.
Love Interest is conventionally attractive, yes, but more personality and intellect than you usually see, and also… she's NOT HIS love interest. She's his ex. And without any real animosity on either side! They're still friendly with each other, and she and her new boyfriend start events in motion by going to visit him and offer help.
New BF is an absolute NERD. He spends his leisure time at home balancing his checkbook with an abacus. The angriest we ever see him is when he gets told he can't go to WORK for a couple of days. Love Interest experienced Main Character's fun-loving immaturity and then picked someone on the absolute other end of the intellect and responsibility spectrum.
And they clearly are happy together! There is definite friendliness and flirtation between the exes, but her commitment is 100% to her new guy.
New Guy is the ONLY one who shows some real resentment about that previous relationship. And that evaporates in the course of that one visit to Main Character's place.
Now, even if you manage to ignore the rainbow flags decorating Main Character's apartment all over, and the seductive striptease that TOTALLY appears to be WORKING on New Boyfriend…
…even then, you're STILL left with a very unconventional scenario at this point, where Main Character has made ZERO progress toward breaking Love Interest up with her current guy-- and in fact has bonded with him to the point of getting him to agree to help with a crazy scheme that's gonna kickstart the main plot.
Which, of course, takes place in a world inside the computer system where the Programs written by people on the outside are living entities who share their faces and personality traits, and… this, too, messes with the usual course of the Romantic Subplot, in amazing ways.
Ex Love Interest and her New Guy have programs living inside the computer, and those two programs are also in an established relationship, although they've been separated by Guy Program getting captured, locked up and made to fight as a gladiator. When he escapes, with Main Character and another friend, he gets separated from them and thinks they've been killed and the first thing he does is find Her-- because 1. he is overwhelmingly in love with her and 2. she is the only one who knows the route and all the devices he'll need in order to get where he's trying to go.
Main Character is the only one who's entered this computer world. Ex and New Guy's real-world selves are on the outside, and from this point on, their part in the plot consists of New Guy having to be there to receive a communication from his Program. Which he does, like the best and most loyal friend, enabling a happy ending for the whole team.
Meanwhile, Main Character's involvement in any "love story" consists of one moment when he's in the computer system, alone with his Ex's Program and about to pull a stunt that might get him killed, and they kiss.
Now, she meets him at least halfway, and seems to be very much INTO this kiss, although it also seems that kissing is not a thing Programs usually do and she may not have any idea what it means to him.
So, I wouldn't say Main Character has noble intentions here. He's not sure he's going to survive, he's with someone who closely resembles his Ex that he still has Feelings for, he WANTS one last kiss from her and he can easily take advantage of the fact that she doesn't know what kissing even means. Definitely not his most ethical moment.
But her response shows just how free she is-- perhaps how free her entire world is-- from human hangups and taboos involving romance.
After clearly enjoying the kiss, she also clearly realizes that it's an expression of affection. Later, when she's reunited with her own partner, she immediately tries it out on him, to their mutual delight-- and with no sign of anger or guilt about how she learned it! She is ecstatic to be together with her soulmate again, but she also has only good things to say about Main Character's last moments in the system. From her perspective, all that happened with the kiss was "This weird awesome stranger showed me a new way to touch someone I love, and now we're gonna have so much fun with that!"
Back on the outside, Main Character doesn't "get the girl," or fight and triumph over the Other Man. Instead, he gets a scene reuniting with BOTH of them, in one big group hug.
Just IMAGINE if this had been the norm. If it'd been the sort of romantic subplot we all saw most commonly in our formative years, shaping our whole idea of how love works.
Just freaking IMAGINE.

Hi and welcome to Grace still being obsessed with @radjerda's Tron Fights for the Users (Children) AU. Quite overtly obsessed if you will. And I can and will build off of this installment of the AU (without thinking too much about the logistics)

Look, I know it’s the 80s, I know someone somewhere has to kiss a girl, but the way Tron goes about this is so fucking funny and it never adresses it again.
Flynn kisses Yori out of nowhere, keep in mind :
1.) At this moment they believe Tron to be dead
2.) She is Implied to be with Tron (if there’s a program equivalent of a girlfriend)
3.) she looks like his ex and thus his best friends girlfriend.
Im absolutely losing my mind when I think about it too. Like, not only is the fact Alan and Lora’s programs also happen to be dating hilarious, but the fact that Flynn can never be like “I kissed your programs girl” or tells this to Tron is just sjskskskskskajakakak
Does anyone think this as wild as I do because I swear- like I know most fans on here are more sequel people but…

Subject: Lab AI Development
Date: Mar-88
I apologize for having to postpone the presentation. Lora discovered a rather significant memory leak in Math Assistant One's new Voice recognition subprograms. The good news is, Math Assistant One Audio or Ma1a as we now call it, now recognizes over sixty four common verbal commands without crashing the vocoder buffer.
Ma1a should prove to be a useful companion in many research laboratory applications.
Please inform the Board that I do plan on making the 2pm presentation scheduled tomorrow.

Sam showing up at Alan’s house when he’s 17, sobbing so hard that he can hardly breathe because his grandma just died and he didn’t know where else to go. He’s utterly alone, the last part of his family lying eerily still back in the home he left her in. Lora and Alan have a sinking feeling, they know why he’s here, but they hold out hope that they’re wrong until Sam stutters out:
“S-she’s dead.”
Sam collapsing into Lora’s arms, as she tries to calm him down. Alan going back into the house to find a blanket to wrap Sam in because it’s the middle of winter, at nearly 1 am, and the kid’s in nothing but jeans and a thin t-shirt.
Sam just shaking in Lora’s arms as she tries her best to hold him together. Her heart aching for this boy who’s lost so much in such a short span of time.
Alan being the one to send paramedics to Sam’s house, just to make sure his grandma really has passed. Alan having to carry the burden of the finality of it all. He feels older than his years as he’s digging through the closet for a blanket, the landline held between his shoulder and ear.
Sam crying on their couch until he passes out with his head in Lora’s lap. He’s so young, too young to have lost his entire family. Lora can’t stop staring at him as he sleeps, the spatter of freckles that dot his cheeks, his eyelashes fluttering in his sleep, the tear tracks still drying on his face - and all she can see is a little boy who’s drowning in his grief.
Alan tucking the blanket around Sam, circles under his eyes dark and heavy as he sighs and looks at Lora with a crushing shake of his head. He’s answering her unasked question.
“Is she alive?”
Sam is officially the last Flynn.
