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.”
excerpt from one of my oldest wargames fics that I never posted
"Professor Falken let [Joshua] sleep next to him once during a particularly ‘low-functioning’ day on both of their parts."
I think wopr gijinkas should be fat. big compuiter. not just the brick we see associated w him but he's also part of the rest of norad's tech. which is also big and bulky
why couldn't I have gotten the normal autism I just got the computer love of my life from a 1983 sci fi movie my parents haven't seen since theatrical release autism
gosh I love how Stephen nicknamed WOPR after his son. not just to himself or private documents, but clearly publicly enough for McKittrick to recognise who David was talking about when he said "Joshua called me!"
I just think that's so cute. I love them so much
this blog is ran by two people (minors). will be mostly wargames and objectum content :p

HOLY SHIT ANOTHER WARGAMES FAN!!!!! peak
YESSS YESYESS AAAH I LOVE WARGAMES
ok have these doodles from a few months ago now....
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
my ma gifted me a little photo album! it's on a keychain connected to my phone now :3
you already KNOW who's gonna fill this entire thing 🔥🔥🔥🔥
my number one dream is to make a wargames fan discord server but there would be like 5 people max
here’s a computer for you to draw: wopr/joshua from wargames [1983]

We are introduced to computer-savvy techno-brat David as he works to game the system by changing his grades in the school district’s report card database. This presupposes a world where teachers keep no written records of grades, or at the very least that data in a computer would be trusted over the word of a professional educator. That’s pretty stupid, right? Well, this movie does seem to think that cutting from an exterior shot of the Seattle waterfront to a high school clearly named ‘Snohomish High’ makes any sense at all. Geographic hilarity aside, this sense of blind faith in computers encapsulates the very core of WarGames’ larger conflict—the race to stop WOPR from sparking nuclear war. The computer system’s LED display ‘face’ may look sinister, but it’s just carrying out a program. Is automation the answer in war—have we so dehumanized ourselves that we need to come up with something even more empathy-free in order to ensure our future destruction?
THE RULES
SIP
Someone says ‘launch’ or ‘missile’.
WOPR appears onscreen.
David does something unethical on a computer.
A phone starts ringing.
Falken is mentioned.
BIG DRINK
Someone says ‘Global Thermonuclear War’.
A new nerd archetype appears onscreen.
Bo is a good boye.
The DEFCON rating changes or is mentioned.
Confidence is high.
Some kind of deranged sibling dynamic (not like they would ever meet)
"now read out his address, he lives at 123 main street"
Agender Joshua. WOPR is agender. Post over.
YAHAYYYYY!!!!!!!!
ADD ME ON DISCORD DUDE ID LOVE TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU
My user is kodi9000 same as here [though im going to change it soon so people don’t find me on discord, even though I’ve got a public server]
@ilivelaughlovewopr

it/he/any plz!!
HEAVILY INSPIRED BY THE DESIGNS OF @hyacinth43 AND @waackery
Wargames 2 is kind of the worst movie but they should date for the lols
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
FUN FACT: my favorite band of all time, They Might Be Giants, samples WarGames in one of their songs. It's right around the 0:59 second mark. ^_^
I WOULD GO TO BURGER KING IF THIS WAS THE W[H]OP[PE]R.
