The fun part about having Tron as a blorbo is that a good chunk of the people in-universe are equally as deranged about him, if not more

true in all worlds

in MCP-era Encom he’s the guy that new conscripts march past in the hundreds while he’s fighting in the disc grid and they point him out to the even more clueless new guy, like “that’s tron! he fights for the users!”

in 2.0 he’s not even around in public life anymore but programs still talk about him like he’s a legend

in Uprising he’s in hiding and training a replacement and still just having his symbol and name is enough for someone to command the revolution

in Legacy even though his worst enemy brainwashed him into an attack dog and took over the world they still haven’t changed the name of the city named after him

…and

…okay I mainly write fic for a part of the universe that canon never really explored

…post-MCP-overthrow, the life of original Tron continuing at Encom with his loved ones (Yori, Alan-1, Ram)

while Flynn is away doing whatever he’s doing in his new grid– which involves the copy he made of Tron, because moving a program to another computer means copying it, that’s how it typically works

and yes this is tragic as all hell, because the copy is an identical branch forked from the same original program and still remembers all his previous loves but knows he’s not the version of himself that gets to be with them

but that version still is with them, because Encom still needs a security system and Tron’s still the best

and yes, here too, everyone knows he’s the best.

including his sweethearts. especially devoted little rerezzed Ram

(which is why I write from Ram’s perspective so much. because he and I are both unhinged about that blorbo.)

(…except when I write about Ram from Tron’s perspective. because… same reason.)

(love them all so much.)
