Symbolic (&)

welp.

i've been mostly a lurker here, but it's still sad to have this place shutting down. as much as i used this website to express a lot of negativity about my relationship with plurality... it's one of the only places i've felt safe talking about plurality publicly, at all, ever. so. thank you guys for being that for me.

i'm going to link to my other profiles. please note that unless a profile says i'm plural anywhere in my bio/pinned/whatever, ASSUME I AM NOT OUT AS PLURAL THERE. if you interact with me publicly there as if i'm plural, i'll probably either ignore you, "correct" you and tell you i'm a singlet, or tell you to fuck off and not pry about my medical history. it isn't personal. it's how i operate online.

i'm going to make similar posts for my system members on their pages. i figure if they were okay with you having this page, theyre okay with you having the others. many of them haven't fronted in months, and i can't rely on them to front again while cohost is still active.

• tumblr - lambda-core. i have a complete list of blogs by subject on my main blog, wheres-all-the-data.
• mastodon: @jetbradley@argon.city. not very active here.
• bluesky: @symbolicToolbox. i wont lie to you, i didn't like twitter and don't think i'll like bluesky, but... it's here. i made it out of curiosity. take it.

if you want my discord, feel free to dm me either here or on tumblr for it. i would rather join servers than have tons of individual dms unless we're tight though, so...

i'll be around until the site goes out, even if im lurking like usual. thank you all for everything. i'll add socials to this as i think of them.

so long, cohost. you were fun and i'll miss you. i hope the internet landscape becomes easier in time.

okay so this movie is such a fun watch. like the writing is really thin and there's no like, big setpieces or stuff but like. idk i just felt really compelled by the concept and vibes and the weird ass religious theming of it all. it's kind of a total cult classic

this movie is about fairly basic themes and things but it presents them in such a bizarre and wild way it's really interesting to see. it's also wild how the cyberworld aesthetic and concept presented here is like, still used 40 years after it premiered with barely any changes
the whole thing with the users being gods and the programs revering them and being made in their image is so wild. esp with the religious persecution deal going on too. it's insane that in this film's context tron is a deeply religious warrior monk going on a holy pilgrimage.
the effects are also amazing and the ideas and stuff are so fun. this film still looks really cool today. it gives me big late 90s squaresoft RPG vibes. i kinda adore how alien and bizarre all this is, and like, finding out how the effects were done and how like....oddly fleshed out yet not the cyberworld is shows how invested the staff was on this? but it's also super thin lol. it's a film entirely sustained on the strength of its vibes and that's fine too tbh

tbf i've always loved the cyberworld concept since watching digimon and parts of corrector yui and the mmbn anime as a child so this movie was like laser aimed at me but still. i didn't expect to have so much fun considering this movie is basically one huge tech demo

i get it not being a hit bc this movie is kind of like. completely inaccessible and baffling unless you really fuck with the concept. hell, it's kinda baffling even if you DO fuck with the concept, but it can be a really fun experience, it's oddly compelling!! i had a blast

also how is this a disney movie what the hell
