I was waiting for someone to separate them. And you did it, and it's good, and YAY. Thank you so much!

I really didn't like the idea of Rinzler just...ceasing to exist. I've got a big pile of ideas about how he would grow organically as his own program, and be able to live separately from Tron.

[cryspeaches]

I totally agree.
Although, I think the one I have planned takes it more to a multiple personality thing than a totally separate being, I did consider it. I just knew that someone would handle it better than I would.
Aw. This was the best thing to wake up to ever. <3

You know when you get that problem as a fandom-goer where you want all these things to happen in a very specific way but canon makes it very very difficult, and so you're sort of left fumbling through half-formed AUs where maybe this or that could happen and things are marginally better but it's never precisely all better?

SUCH WAS MY PROBLEM. I wanted two things: Rinzler and Sam to go off all adorbs-happy-ending together, at the same time as I wanted Flynn and Tron being all adorbs-buddybuddy-Grid-bffs. These things do not seem to coexist very peacefully. Besides that I think I was a little shattered by the idea of Flynn ceasing to exist. Like, man, you should've seen me when I walked out of the theatre. And the really marvelous thing is, the idea of Tron and Rinzler as seperate beings never actually occurred to me and it fixes everythingUm, I think this might be adopted as permanent headcanon for me? And if for any reason fic ever pours itself out of my brain and shows up in the collective Tron fandom, I'll be owing you quite a bit

After seeing Legacy for a third time, I hunkered down with some friends and we started mapping out this whole world of where the Grid would go from there, and we had so many ideas as to how to kind of redeem, revive and rejuvenate characters

I know that moment, and that idea fits beautifully. I think Rinzler sort of yanked on my heart from the very beginning? The whole pet-monster thing really got me, I think, and he is a really fantastic character for all his lack of development and mashing him and Tron together into one concept might work, I think, but you'd be losing so much of both of them-- seperating them into two characters gives so much more room to work with, two character-boxes, if you will, and Rinzler's is new and shiny and with so much space to fill, and that's awesome. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BABBLE, I ENJOY THE BABBLING.

Can we just have ages and ages of fic about Dillinger Junior? I mean. His little face. I'm just saying.

Serious awesome here. I really loved the contrast between Sam and his father in the beginning.

DEEP. And I like it. I always imagined it was two Programs merged.
