Flat color is done, with some haphazard to-be-redone-later glow and shadows cuz otherwise it looked rubbish. It’s NOT DONE YET but my hand was cramping up so it’s a pause.
My absolute favorite thing about this is his “Don’t even think about it, bitch,” expression. I also love the slightly more classic!Tron aesthetic of the circuits on his jacket, and the Alan-1 symbol on his tie. Thank you so much for this, Keso, it is coming out awesome so far!

Free Uprising!
The first episode of the new Tron: Uprising animated series is a free download on iTunes today — starring Tricia Helfer, Elijah Wood, Paul Reubens, Bruce Boxleitner, and a bunch of other total badasses! Think about it… who likes lightcycles? That’s right: it’s you.
Even if you’ve already seen it, please go grab it so the internet can look ~really interested~ in more Tron! :3
Welp, I installed iTunes for this and…. nope.jpg. It’s not showing up. Not in searches, not if I browse. Nothing happens if I click the “watch in iTunes” link from its page on the www. I am not in the States therefore LOL FORGET ABOUT IT. Way to promote your show, Disney.
Who can send me their HD copy? I’m not even going to go hush-hush with requesting this because GOD KNOWS I TRIED, HELLMOUSE. Besides, it’s supposedly free if you can see it at all so it’s hardly pirating.
I, too, have not been able to see Uprising yet. D: None of the links I’ve found and tried have worked. Anyone able to help us out?
This is why God invented BitTorrent.

Expo’s Grand ElecTRONica Adventure and Ensuing Nightmare Part I: It Was The Best of Times…
No, seriously, it really, really was.
I had a phenomenal amount of fun at Disneyland and ElecTRONica with Brightdreamer, Shirozora, Smiley_Anon, and Kaztiel (with special guests Kesomon and Typoaway! Hi guys, you’re awesome!). For those first three days, the trip could not have gone more perfectly.
My flight to LAX was easy as pie (and I got a little choked up looking across the bay to my former beloved homeland during my 30 min layover in Oakland sob), and I met up with Brightdreamer without a hitch. We hung out and talked nerdy to each other for 15 minutes or so, then got picked up by Shirozora, who I was DELIGHTED to discover was just as tiny as I was. (I was feeling even shrimpier than usual next to 6’ tall Bright). From thence we hied off to Anaheim in Shiro’s cute lil gray car with That One Fanart Of Tron With The Ass Shot displayed prominently on its dashboard LCD. We checked into our hotel, walked over to Didneylan, ate lunch in New Orleans Square (clam chowder in bread bowls and mint juleps fuck yes), went on Pirates, and proceeded to be eight year olds for the rest of the afternoon. It was rad.
We took a 45 minute nap after assing around Tomorrowland, got woke up by Separate Ways, and headed over to California Adventure for the start of ElecTRONica. I had this feeling when we got there that we were gonna end up meeting random other folks from Tumblr, and I was not wrong. Not fifteen minutes into the countdown for the opening number we met Kesomon and Typoaway, and proceeded to hang with them for the rest of the night. I kicked Kesomon’s ass at air hockey disc wars at Flynn’s (\o/), watched the girls drink glowy mojitos and flail around with discs while dancing, and got to get a pic with the girls and the fan-favorite Eckert after his utterly wibble-inducing final speech. ;_; Then we went and met up with Sharn/Smiley_Anon at IHOP and talked nerdy some more.
Day 1: Five Stars, would do again.
And did!
Didneyland/ElecTRONica: The Next Day was similarly rad. We spent a bit more time over at California Adventure and went on some of the niftier rides there, ate lunch at this one awesome pizza/pasta joint in Tomorrowland, and met up with our final party member Kaz!
Special mention must be made of the new-and-improved Star Tours, here: oh man, guys. I hadn’t been to Disneyland in close to twelve years, and not on my eternal favorite Star Tours since the upgrade. There are like a dozen different destinations/endings, and while we got a couple repeats we managed to land all the best and rarest ones! So awesome.
The Eckert for Sunday’s ElecTRONica show was different, but he put on an awesome performance. Smiley_Anon entered the disc-throwing contest but sadly lost to a particularly badass ten-year old, but she kicked MY ass at air hockey later that evening, so it balanced out. (She also kicked the ass of a random Flynn’s denizen in one of the most brutal games of Air Hockey I have ever witnessed. I see now why her specialty fic character is Rinzler.)
ALSO of note: the ten-minute “Extended Trailer” for Tron Legacy that got shown every 15 minutes or so in a 3D theater at ElecTRONica. I had not gone to see Legacy in 3D because I’m not a big fan of it…but I have to say, Legacy sure looked a LOT better than I thought it would in 3D. We were kind of sad we couldn’t just stick around and watch the whole movie, tralala…
Alas, however, all good things must come to an end, and at 10 pm the MCP showed its spoilsport ass up to ruin everyone’s fun forever. Fucking MCP.
After another last round on Star Tours and Space Mountain (during which I experienced a few mysterious sharp pains in my right lower abdomen, but they went away so I ignored it, ha ha ha…) we tearfully parted ways with Shirozora, Sharn, and Kesomon, and me and Bright went to bunk with Kaztiel for a night. Homegirl has got the most radical collection of Tron and other fantastic nerdy bullshit I have ever seen. We saw Bright off early in the morning at Ontario airport (sob), I hung about with Kaz for another few hours, and then she drove me into Downtown LA to catch my Greyhound. (sob sob)
Little did I know it as I boarded…but that Greyhound bus was about to take a hard left turn. Into HELL.
So my elation at being released from the hospital has been pretty thoroughly destroyed as of today.
Today is probably the worst day I’ve had in a long, long time, and it isn’t getting much better. It’s like my entire life was waiting for me to come back to it…just so it could all collapse on me at once.
For those of you who have my cel # and I’ve been talking to via text, I will not be available through that route for a while. My cel service has been shut off as of today. I’m not going to go into the circumstances surrounding it in too much detail because it involved a very ugly and painful argument with family that I really didn’t need right now and I’m not sure if I deserved or not.
My internet is also off, as I mentioned yesterday, and I have no idea how long it’ll be before I can get it turned back on, but at least I can get online from seattle’s bounteous free wifi on my laptop now. So there’s that.
There’s also a much more serious problem looming over me this week that could have some nasty consequences and that I don’t know how the fuck I’m going to solve.
Also also I still feel like crap physically, and am afraid of taking any more pain medicine for fear of developing physical dependence on it, but god damn sometimes this still really hurts.
TL;DR, I have never been this deeply depressed in a long time, and I know I should probably either delete this or put it behind a Read More cut later, but if I don’t vent somewhere I am going to straight up burst into tears again.
I’m really sorry, everyone.
shhhh
dun tell Expo
I MADE HER A CHIBI
TOO LATE!!
I will love him and hug him and squeeze him and call him George.
And totally not tell him that the first thing I ever properly did for the fandom was kill his girlfriend and torture his User.
Do not need to go back to the hospital for another 3 weeks for a near-terminal case of disk-to-face.
I mean THANK YOU OFT he is adorable and I love it ;_;

Dear People Who Do Not Believe In Evolution
Hi, I’m Expo, and I would like to introduce you to MRSA.
MRSA stands for Methicillin-Resistant Staphyloccocus Aureus. It is what we like to call a “superbug”, because over the past ten or fifteen or twenty years—barely a fucking BLINK in the great scheme of time, you understand—this strain of staph has developed, or should I say, EVOLVED, a resistance to most of the most common antibiotics.
This particular superbug invaded my abdominal cavity when I had surgery to repair an ovarian torsion back at the end of April, and laid me out in the hospital for three weeks. It could only be killed by nuclear-grade new-class antibiotics, and it could very well have killed me.
I would now like to cordially invite you to SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Sincerely, Expo.
I just had to.
PEEES
SOMEONE HELP

DragonWarden calls me a “scar fetishist”, with good reason, so you can imagine the inhuman sounds I made at this point.
I do love it when fanon becomes canon.
That SAID god DAMN Clu, what’d you do, disc-bash him a couple dozen more times for good measure? JFC, man, anger management programs are available to help you.

TUMBLR I AM HOME NOW
And by home I mean “Harborview Starbucks” because I am still waiting on prescriptions AND I kind of forgot to pay my internets bill at home la la la but
BUT
RELEASED FROM CAPTIVITY
BITCHES
FREE TO GO PLACES WITH REAL INTERNETS UNTIL MY OWN IS RESTORED
::hugs you all forever and ever::
I am taking this opportunity to go on record and say that you are all the best buddies a girl could ever have, times infinity. Thank you to everyone who texted me with well wishes and kept me company and generally made my miserable 3 weeks at UWMC Harborview a little bit better. I love you all so much. I am so glad I gathered up the balls to join this community back in January. It’s seriously the best thing that’s happened to me in a year or more.
A gigantic “Expo’s Grand ElecTRONica Adventure And Subsequent Descent into Medical Hell” series of posts will be going up over the course of this week, along with ficlets and Uprising commentary and an Avengers review when I finally get to see it and all kinds of other shit. STAY TUNED.
::continues to hug you all forever::
OH GOD IT’S BACK
not sure if seeing a flying, disappearing rainbow 8-bit pizza slice on my Tumblr sidebar
or if drugged and feverish
FUCK ALL THE THINGS it’s the 3rd isn’t it
guess who’s NOT going to get to use her Avengers midnight showing ticket that she bought way back at the beginning of the month tonight?
where the fuck is my gif of Clu flipping tables
Hi Everybody x_X
First things first, yes, I am still in the hospital. However, the internet seems to be working for once, so I am taking advantage of it while I can.
I was SUPPOSED to have gone home yesterday, but a random fever torpedoed that plan. New plan is to go home tomorrow provided my temp is anything under 101. I swear to God I am this close to just signing the fuck out AMA even if I still have a fever. I have been here literally an entire fucking week and I am exhausted and bored and lonely and I just want to fucking go home.
::glomps you all and never lets go:: So, how are all of you?
UWMC you fail at internet
Day 3 here at UWMC Harborview Medical Center, and the internet still suuuuuucks. You would think that the largest teaching hospital in 4 states would have better access, but ha ha ha ha fuck you, no internet for you.
Sigh.
Today’s list of events include a couple of scans and five bajillion vials of blood taken to see if the infection is going away and not increasing. If Y, I may get to go home tonight or tomorrow morning! (Oh please god). If N, I get to stay another day or two and may possibly require another surgery to clean out any badness that refuses to respond to the IV antibiotics. (Oh please god NO.)
Sigh x2.
Aside from this I am mostly comfortable, just drugged and bored and suffering from general malaise, and also I am getting SHIT ALL for sleep because every 2 or 3 hours someone comes in to take my vitals or my blood or deliver food or what the hell ever, usually with a following admonition to rest. WTF DO YOU THINK I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO ALL DAY, ASSBASKETS?
Here’s hoping my interbutts last more than an hour today, so that I can at least hang out on Tumblr and AIM. ILU all, and will hopefully be released to home in the very near future, cross fingers toes and eyes.
(Also fhsghjfdjgsalkd YOU GUYS I got all your notes and your fanmails and your well wishes. Tumblr is being a cocktopus and not letting me respond to any of them for some reason, so let me just reiterate that no, seriously, I love you all. I really, really don’t deserve you guys. ;_;)
