Gaby Soto is a gift

Edit: I missed one!

See you.

Inspired by the Pictomancer job quest line

the bar was so low i don't know what I expected.

EVERYONE SHUT UP YOURE NOT ALLOWED TO REBLOG THIS POST ANYMORE. “Where’s Gaius” “What about Alberic” “What about Novv” “This is Urianger Erasure” “Where’s Hraes” LISTEN. THERE ARE NINE PANELS. WE DISCUSSED ALL OF THE ABOVE AND I MADE AN EXECUTIVE DECISION FOR COMEDY PURPOSES. DO I NEED TO MAKE A VERSION WITH EVERY FATHER ADJACENT FIGURE IN THE GAME. WILL YOU BEASTS BE SATIATED THEN?

well, now that you mentioned Urianger, yes lmao

Jokes aside, I guess Urianger WAS Ryne's other dad, wasn't he? And from what we saw, he was actually very supportive and gentle with her quite often, so I think he actually was a pretty decent dad 😊

why is this the hottest thing i've ever seen

HE SHOWED UP WITH A DUEL DISK TODAY?????

AND ALL FIVE EXODIA PIECES

I need everyone to know that I looked it up, and Noah Lyles is doing this as part of an ongoing bet he has with shotput competitor Chase Jackson. She's wearing Naruto accessories every day, and if Lyles whips out Yugioh cards at every race, then for the shotput finals Jackson will re-enact the scene of Rock Lee dropping his weights.

This is now the only part of the Olympics that I care about.

edit: this is not the olympics. I'm an idiot. it's the USA qualifiers for the olympics, but our boy Lyles has won every race so he's definitely going to be taking Exodia to the Olympics, and i for one cannot wait

I know everyone's excited that Jeff Bridges is in the next Tron in some capacity, but I will honestly not give a good goddamn about that if they don't resolve what the fuck happened to Tron in the Sea of Simulation.

welp I just bummed myself out further:

Even less of a chance of TRON IN A TRON MOVIE now, unless they recast the voice/actor.

... and will they not even mention/show Alan Bradley or the board of ENCOM then? Or perhaps they'll say he was ousted after Legacy offscreen or some crap...

We all know Tron becomes Rinzler eventually, but like? how does it actually happen? Legacy gave us the flashback with Clu stabbing him and the "rrrrr" sound immediately coming in afterwards. The Betrayal novel has the coup happen in the outlands and we can see a injured Tron riding off on a lightcycle. Uprising has Clu and Dyson working together, with Tron tortured by the latter and later rescued by Cyrus. So like?? it is a mystery 👻

I always had suspicions that when Beck goes to save Tron from being repurposed that maybe he didn't really fully save Tron from the repurposing. Rewatch that sequence and see how long it takes for Beck to break the machine and stop the progress. The first time we see a closeup of the helix of repurposing programming, it's practically at his forehead when Beck has barely reached the door to the room:

Now, granted, they rewind that helix a bit when they cut to the wide shot of Tron when Beck breaks into the room proper:

BUT there's an uncomfortably long amount of time there that it looks like part of that initial helix of repurposing programming has actually hit his forehead during the slow-mo sequence where Beck throws the dude into the machine:

Tron's shoulder blocks a clear view of if it already went inside his forehead, but I had a theory that a bit of it managed to get in there.

Now, the heroes think they stopped it in time, because of course Tron seems fine, and they escape and everything seems to have worked out. But I always had the worried, ominous thought that enough of the repurposing made it in there to act as a ticking time bomb, enough of a strain of the programming to leave the door open to Tron being vulnerable to being very, very slowly repurposed from the inside out.

... because what could be more horrific and heart-shattering than Tron going all sleeper agent and flipping into Rinzler at the worst possible time narratively and betraying Beck? Maybe they'd even twist the knife and have the repurposing hit 100% right when Tron confides in Beck with something like, "I'm proud of you" or some line that will haunt Beck forever as Tron's last conscious thought with free will?

I know I was one of those people who was known for making some sad-end headcanon ideas/theories on tronblr a few years back, like this one here, but we do know we're gonna get a sad-end with Rinzler definitely appearing, and I could see this as one of those cruel we-foreshadowed-this-but-you-didn't-want-to-see-it kinds of moments.
