... and just so Yori and Lora don't miss out on the joke (or YoLo as @big-overload-little-derez so nicely named them). A little continuation of my previous Lora piece. 😉
Those pesky Sirens really don't like User clothing! Go get 'em, Yori!

Thinking about them again your honor.
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!
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.

Watched Tron again after some time, and somehow, I only now realized how badass Lora actually is:
"Oh, don't put any change in the meter. We're gonna need it for the games!"
--Lora to Alan in front of the arcade
She's definitely got the spirit - I like it! xD

Cindy Morgan Zine Announcement
So many of us were heartbroken to learn of the recent death of Cindy Morgan. Not only was Cindy a talented actress and kind human being, she was incredibly involved with the Tron community and appreciative of her fans. For this reason, we would like to ask for your help in remembering her life and work.
We will be accepting art and written works remembering Cindy Morgan and the Tron characters she portrayed to create a digital zine in her honor. While art and fics are welcome, contributions do not have to be fictional. Stories and photos from fans who were lucky enough to meet Cindy, either in-person or through the Tronblr community—or from those who were inspired by her or the characters she portrayed—are also welcome. We would love to hear your memories of Cindy.
Though new works are encouraged, we will also accept works that have already been posted. You may submit as many pieces as you like, though we don’t guarantee that every submission will be accepted. Please keep submissions appropriate as this is a memorial zine.
In interviews, Cindy often mentioned how many women told her that her role as Lora inspired them to pursue a career in science, and how much this meant to her. In honor of this, we plan to make the zine pay what you can, and to donate any and all contributions to Girls Who Code in Cindy Morgan’s name. While donations will not be required to participate in or download the zine, any amount will be greatly appreciated.
We are still in the planning stages right now, but more detailed guidelines and submission dates will be available soon. Please spread the word! Follow this page for more information, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you! 💙

Ladies' Night: A TRON Ficlet (PREVIEW)
This is a preview of my piece that will appear in Always: A Cindy Morgan Zine (@cindymorganzine). The zine is out this Friday, April 19th on itch.io for pay what you can, with all proceeds going to Girls Who Code!
Without further ado, here is the preview of my piece....
----
Meanwhile, in a universe where Kevin Flynn trusted his friends enough to tell them the truth…
After a long day of teaching classes, the last thing Lora wanted was to spend another eight subjective hours on the Grid with Alan and Flynn. But she’d promised Yori she’d rez in at least once this week, and it was already Thursday. She downed a cup of coffee from the carafe Flynn kept in his basement office, and joined her husband and their best friend in front of the digitizer.
Tron and Yori met them at the Portal output in the city. Tron pulled Flynn and Alan aside at once, leaving Lora standing next to her program, unsure of what to say. Yori, for her part, looked a little nervous herself.
It had been nearly three months since they’d first met in person, if that was even the right term for what meeting someone inside a computer system really was. Lora still found herself astounded by this place, and even more by her experience of it, which was somehow not subjective but instead objective—what she saw was what Alan and Flynn saw, a truth written in code.
Even more perplexing to Lora’s mind was Yori, the program she’d written for the digitizer’s first iteration. It had taken some getting used to, seeing her own face looking back at her, and hearing her own voice answer her questions. But Yori was no mere copy. They had the same playful energy at times, true, but Yori seemed to be more reserved and careful, while Lora was more willing to take risks to get results. They still agreed more often than not, but Lora bet there were things about Yori she still didn’t know.

Lora on The Grid! Finally found time to colour this. How cool would it be to see these two running around and looking out for each other?
The pencils of this piece are here.
