#another legacy

no?

fabulous. now sit down and shut up (please)

SO. being the film grad and creative person i am, i can’t let any piece of writing happen without an EXTENSIVE collection of photos vaguely outlining the Vibes of the spaces in which my characters live.

this is known professionally as…✨a photo morgue✨

being the set designer/decorator that i was, i have a particular love for the way a character’s home speaks about them. your living space really is a reflection of yourself, and it was always SO much fun for me to translate that into a set.

now for the real nitty-gritty. as i’ve been writing my Tron fic, Another Legacy, i’ve wondered…what kind of house would the Baines-Bradleys live in?

at first, i thought maybe something modest. Alan Bradley isn’t one for flashy, fine things. he’s a humble guy – simple and plain. Lora Baines, however, is not, and if you’ve ever seen the original Tron, you know that she calls the shots. meaning if Lora wanted a palace, Alan would build it for her, and she would insist that he make it something he likes, too.

enter 80s modern/postmodernism

warm. soft. the Vibes. it’s like contemporary, mid century, and a pinch of traditional. just enough minimalism for Alan to feel like he isn’t flaunting the entire dividend Flynn gives him (because you know it’s quite a lot) and just palace-y enough for Lora to feel like she’s really living large. a large kitchen for them to both work their magic (Lora cooks, Alan bakes). plenty of built-in shelves for their books and vinyls. wide windows for staring out over Center City and to the bay beyond. sleek and modern with a timeless, iconic touch that screams “we’re young people in the 80s who just got a ton of money” but not in a bad way.

also here, have some another legacy tidbits because i’m a little stuck rn and i don’t feel like starving y’all…

context for those who don’t read or haven’t caught up – Peony is a program OC that @cozycoffee08 and i created. she was built to be a little patch program for tron should anything go wrong, but got separated from him in the transfer to flynn’s grid. she eventually found her way back, though, and kinda becomes tron and yori’s kid.

what i am doing: creating a multi-story home worthy of the baines-bradley family and throwing it in my queue for y’all to enjoy while i sleep

basement floor!! jet’s garage, multipurpose basement room, and a massive file storage room that alan organized all by himself (it was a three-week project. lora saw him for maybe three days total during the whole thing)

main floor!! main garages, living (with two-story ceilings ofc), kitchen, alan’s office, and the spare room

and of course, the third floor. elanor, jet, and lilian’s bedrooms, as well as lora and alan’s “grand suite” (lora’s terms) complete with tiny deck

and then.

throwing this here as i always do, even if i keep burying my own writing to the point that it gets completely ignored 🥲 oh well. too many good things on this hellsite to not lol

the fluff has ARRIVED!!! and i hope everyone is ready for it!!!
