vacuiterror:

me when i start to realize that my headcanon about the mechanics of tron program sex is at least 50 or 60% structured around making it as similar to clothed grinding as possible

and the rest is largely structured around other stuff i have the hots for (erogenous zones, remote control sex toys)

HOWEVER

there is sufficient canon support for this interpretation that i’m still gonna at least partially blame the actual 1982 movie for my fetish. I’m programmed in FROTran and you can’t reformat me now it’s too damn late.

(I am not the one who designed characters with spandex-outfits-that-are-possibly-also-their-null-bulged-naked bodies, and glowy circuits all over those bodies that change hue and brightness in response to feelings

I am not the one who filmed/animated a love scene that involved touching a character’s chest/stomach circuits and having them turn purple in response

i am not the one who also put similar circuits onto the disc that is explicitly stated to be a program’s memory backup… made those circuits pulse and change like the ones on the body, as if it’s got a sensory connection… and then showed the most slutty-acting program putting his mouth on his disc to drink from it, and then sharing it with his friend to drink from

but to those who did: i thank you

if my pattern recognizer watches that movie and sees a society of creatures who would happily spend all their time getting off via remote-control sex toys, erogenous zones, and frottage, that’s because it’s there)
