“he would not fucking say that” but you ever be looking at fanart and suddenly its “he would not fucking have abs”

…ok so prev has Alan Bradley in the notes and this got me thinking

because at first glance, he is one of the characters that we’d probably most easily think of as having a superhero-muscled kind of build

because even though we never see him in very revealing clothes…

he’s got the body that Tron is a mirror of, and we think of Tron as basically a superhero type of character

(and yeah there’s whole speculative essays on whether a program’s shape is an exact copy of the programmer’s shape or like an ideal of what they wish they looked like, but that’s a whole other thing)

but then

you actually look at Tron’s build and

…he’s just a sorta skinny, sorta soft guy

strong, yes. good muscles. but they’re under a bit of softness

the strongest people have some softness over the muscles. even if they’re thin!

like…

who actually has “abs.” the chiseled bodybuilder ones I mean

those don’t exist
