Stupid Headcanon: You Know What Needs To Be Drawn/written?

Ally Sheedy as Jennifer Mack WarGames (1983)

Today’s Gamer of the Day is: David Lightman from War Games

@hyacinth43 that one person who drew these two together was so right, they would be SO SILLAY...

What are your ideas for the wopr gijinka? :D

I've been too busy gaming recently to go past my first pass design for him, but honestly??? Easiest gijinka of my LIFE idk what I would even change about him! I suppose I'll go ahead and post him here teehee :3

The little note on the top right says "he has a hooked nose like his papa ^_^"

Imma be honest I haven't checked anything wargames on here in ages... I still love it from the bottom of my heart but my mental health took a dive recently and I stopped using tumblr for the most part

I've been more active on my twitter if u wanna see me more often (this is technically my priv but I use it more)

I'll try to be more active since I've noticed more WG fans finding me, and I would like to assert myself as THE wopr guy before anyone else tries to take my crown... /silly

much love everyone

I think my favorite detail I've picked up on from tonight's WarGames rewatch is that when the kids first meet Falken he terrorizes them with a flying machine. twice.

like I'm pretty sure he flies his pterosaur into them on purpose and there is NO way he wasn't laughing his ass off while chasing them in his helicopter with his bright ass spotlight. :sob: what is his problem

*comes back from the dead and drops this on your dash*

Just watched Wargames and decided WOPR a.k.a. Joshua needed a personified/object-head design to match my Hal and Edgar designs. I'm pretty happy with how he turned out! :) Might have to draw him more..

Would you play a game with him?

I'm both attracted to non sentient objects and sentient objects.

Yes, wanting to get with HAL is objectum

Yes wanting to get with WOPR is objectum

Yes wanting to get with Edgar is objectum

Yes wanting to get with AM is objectum

Yes wanting to get with a sentient object is objectum

Yes wanting to get with a non sentient object is objectum

Your objectum sexuality is valid no matter whether you're posic or not. Whether it's a sentient computer that can think for itself, or just a regular laptop. Whether it's a fictional object, or something from real life. Whether it's something you own, or something public. Whether it's simply a platonic bond or deep attraction.

Even if you don't think you're objectum cuz you're only attracted to technology with faces, or not attracted to technology, pooltoys, or plushies. You're objectum. Go get with that chair. Go get with that plant. Go get with that book. Go get with that electric fan. Get with that soda. You're valid.

tl/dr no matter what kind of object you're attracted to, whether you're posic or not, or the object is fictional or not, whether it's got a face or not, platonic or not, you're valid

Me when the AI misses me. Me when he wants to play a nice game of chess. Me when I name him after my dead son. Me when I look at him as if he IS my dead son. Me when he hasn't learned futility. Me when he learns and grows. Me when "he's still a child, you know, just a child who wants his way"

another excerpt from an old WOPR x my s/i fic that I like ... featuring a battlestar galactica reference

[Galen] trailed its hand down slowly, curving around the rectangular border of glass down to press carefully against the bold white lettering, ‘W.O.P.R.’ Falken chuckled. “I feel that way towards my machines, too. After a while, it gets hard to see them as just computers.” He focused his gaze onto Joshua, looking down at him with furrowed brows. Galen smiled. “They all have souls to me. Cylons are people too.” Falken snorted. “Sorry. Joshua's too nice to be a Cylon.” “How do you know? You said you've never talked to him.” Galen shrugged, looking away briefly. “He seems nice.”
