omega dunk! whose scent is light and easy to dismiss, who smells like honeysuckle and the grass after rain
omega dunk! whose scent is so subtle it isn’t until mid trial of seven that the tagaryens + lyonel realize that dunk is an omega
omega dunk! whose reveal as an omega literally stops the trial in its tracks and ends up saving baelor’s life
omega dunk! who is confused because he was so sure that he had mentioned he was omega? (he didn’t)
omega dunk! who thought it was obvious that he was omega since he literally imprinted on egg and his omega sees egg as his pup (egg had no idea why he felt so safe and protected with dunk….turns out his pup felt bonded with older omega)
omega dunk! who’s soooo confused about why all the targ men + lyonel are suddenly lingering near him, bringing him gifts and snacks
omega dunk! who is literally being courted by the anvil, the hammer, bright flame, the dreamer, and the laughing storm but genuinely thinks they just feel bad for the trial of seven and are trying to make amends
pup egg! who is watching this absolute train wreck with narrowed eyes, who growls at any alpha that gets too close to dunk, throws away gifts he doesn’t think are worthy of dunk (anything aerion brings) and who tries to guard sir duncan at every hour of the day
omega dunk! who honestly is completely oblivious to the chaos surrounding him, and just thinks he is finally making friends (“friends” who want to MATE you dunk!!!)
One thing I find fascinating is that there are like no good outcomes from the Trial of Seven, it’s a mess any way you slice it.
However a scenario where Dunk dies instead of Baelor is like the worst of them all. Especially if he lives long enough to win and swear himself to Baelor and then dies in Baelors arms.
Like yes he is some no name Hedge Knight and his death absolutely shouldn’t matter but because it’s Dunk the ripple effects are insane.
Egg is never forgiving his family or himself. This is Aerions fault, Aerion has killed his brother/father for doing the right thing and there is no world where that vengeance and hate doesn’t ruin Egg. There is no quiet moment with Maekar as he drops the knife there’s only a grieving child screaming at his father to let go of him so he can rid the world of a monster wearing human skin. He’s never forgiving his father either for helping to get Ser Duncan killed and there is just nothing Maekar can do to bridge that gap with his son. There is rot in his house and now there is no kind Hedge Knight to guide Egg on his future path. I can easily imagine Egg running away to be a Hedge Knight in this scenario as he tries to carry on Ser Duncan’s legacy as best he can.
Baelor is alive but has to live with the knowledge that his family killed the last honourable knight in Westeros. In the same way Baelor haunts Dunks narrative Dunk is forever haunting Baelor. Every time he has to make a ‘dishonourable’ choice as King or is considering a knight before him he can feel Ser Duncan’s gaze in the back of his neck. Cannot look at Aerion ever again. Idk just Baelor judging every knight he meets against the imaginary Ser Duncan the Tall he has on a pedestal in his mind and they (and he) just never living up to those standards. Will not shut the fuck up about the good knight he knew for less than 48 hours. The good man who was for a moment his man.
Targaryen PR? On the floor. The Targaryens don’t care for justice or honour, didn’t you hear about how they killed Ser Duncan the Tall? The man larger and stronger than an elm tree who saved those maidens from the wicked Prince Aerion Brightflame? Yes Breakspear fought for him but we all know he did it so that he could just appear like he cared about justice. It was a rotten thing they did to him and he was right in his reply. Sing the one about the brave knight and the wicked red dragon again won’t you bard? It always goes over well.
Lyonel Baratheon now has a legitimate grievance against the Targaryens 30 years early. Genuinely acting like he’s Ser Duncan’s widow the way he’s grieving and railing against the royal family. They killed his Knight! Somehow gets Dunks shield and has it hanging up in the throne room of Storms End and pointedly brings it with him whenever he gets dragged to court. Baelor sees the shield once and it genuinely nearly kills him. The rest of the time Lyonels there they basically have a grieving widow off (Dunks been dead for a good decade).
Raymun Fosserway (Dunks actual widow) is beyond justified in his hatred of the Targaryens, always said there was something wrong with that family and he was damned right! Green Apple Fosserways grow up knowing that the royals can’t be trusted.
Idk like the fact that if Dunk won and then died in the trial of Seven there should be no ramifications. But because it’s Dunk his death probably brings down House Targaryen a good few decades earlier rather than saving it.
NO!!!!! Dratchet where ratchrod genuinely hate eachother forever will kill the patient she needs 400k word slow burn dratchrod all pining for eachother to live
Tarn is an idiot because if he played his cards right he could have had a hot medic husband, but man fumbled a true baddie. Like Tarn I get you idolize Megatron and want to be like him, but that doesn’t mean you have to inherit Fumbletron 5000’s inability to not fumble a bad bitch. If Tarn wasn’t pulling all that nonsense he could have been experiencing kinks he didn’t even know existed. Pharma could have given him a true religious experience. I don’t know if it would necessarily fix him, but I think if Tarn had let Pharma dom him and walk him like a dog on a leash it would rewire something in Tarn’s brain chemistry. Like Pharma is a creative genius inventing and curing new diseases left and right and is a surgeon with intimate knowledge of Cybertronian anatomy as part of his job, he probably knows how to get a motor revving in ways we cannot even imagine. A fool. This is why the writer says you’ve never fucked in your life Tarn.
"Sad tired man needs to be fucked into oblivion and made gregnant
He's poor and eats Twinkies for every meal but give that man a child and he'll be making them a nutritious meal every day
If he can be a dog dad he can be a real dad
helps him get over generational trauma? Probably not lmao but we'll see what happens
oh yeah it's just that we want him pregnant uhhhh
just put him through the pregnancy wringer idk
it'd be funny."
"Oh so many reasons I don't even know where to start... He's already such a creature and witnessing how he deals with being pregnant would ascend my consciousness to a higher plane... Also other characters from the game helping him through it would be adorable as hell."
"I think it would fix him y'know. Or fuck up his life even worse. Either way I'll be entertained."
"He is the third in a line of superheroes and it's implied that he was specifically born to take up the mantle of superheroing when his dad died. His dad was also shown to be neglectful, if not outright abusive. He also has just, so many self-worth issues, I haven't seen someone so passively suicidal in fiction before. Now, getting pregnant wouldn't fix any of this, but it would make it so delightfully complicated with both the logistics of being an active superhero (depending on when in the timeline this is happening) and trying to keep potential baby safe, and Robert's complicated feelings on his father and fatherhood in general. Also look at him and tell me he wouldn't be cute knocked up. ;)"
"Look at him, he's sad and pathetic but then gets that sweet found family, the polycule will care for him and the baby."
"Robert is an ex-superhero who sits at a desk all day. What's keeping him at that desk?"
"he'd be a good parent, i think he could break the cycle."
"This man loves his dog, he's exhausted, he very reluctantly has a polycule with 10 to 12 members, and is somehow both the only voice of reason in the group and absolutely feral at the exact same time. I just hope it's a girl so we never get a Robert Robertson IV."
"He’s squishy and traumatized and also hr hates him because he has an entire polyamorous relationships. :3 He needs to be knocked up, he’d get spoiled and spoil his kid."
"Look at this pathetic wet man who looks submissive and breedable. His dog’s name is Beef and he is a little fat man. Flambae sung a song called I’m a Bitch with the lyrics starting with “I’m a Bitch, My name’s Robert”."
"AGGGHHH have you SEEN the man? He’s so buff but also lanky, and his employees are all basically his toxic polycule and would burst out laughing the moment they learned of this news. In the actual context of the story/game the very concept of this man being pregnant would do nothing but add to his character’s complexity, and iconicness. (If you haven’t played/watched a play though of this game I highly reccomend it). Legit frothing at the mouth and freaking out over this man being pregnant AAAAJGHHJJ"
"Practically everyone in this game wants him and it would be really really funny if the super hero office comedy game turned into Mamma Mia 3."
"I don’t have a solid reason but I just think that he should be, it would benefit him. Plus with someone else to take care of he can’t neglect himself anymore."
"His dead eyes and autistic swag has captivated me."
"Continue the mecha man bloodline. 🥹🥹"
"It would be funny as hell."
"I mean look at him.
He's objectively sad
Daddy issues
A whole team of people to get him pregnant
Good dog dad
Chase needs a nephew to spoil (see Beef the dog)"
[Ratchet]
"LOOK AT ME AND TELL ME HE WOULDN'T LOOK GOOD PREGNANT, HE ALREADY LOOKS GOOD WITH CHILDREN, IMAGINE HOW GOOD HE'D LOOK PREGNANT, HE MAYBE FAT BUT THAT JUST MEANS HE NEEDS TO GET PREGNANT AGAIN JUST TO MAKE SURE IT SHOWS. i implore you to Imagine this workaholic, low self-esteem, depressed war veteran who isn't as tough as he think he is. Heavily pregnant to the point that despite his fat it SHOWS. Hot right, Very hot and Sexy hehehehehe."
"He's a wartime medic who's spent a good portion of his life trying to save people, and failing sometimes, which probably haunts him, and I think he should be able to confront his trauma via having a kid."
so are kilowog and hal never going to talk about how hal made a fully lifelike construct of kilowog when he thought he was dead to be his househusband who cooked for him and gave him tough love pep talks while wearing the tightest wife beater known to man kind. ahhh yes fully platonic behavior.
Dr Winters is one of the best characters ever. She likes monster trucks. She sold a live lion in a mystery bag. She has a full time job as a professor. She is married to a clown. She confessed to said clown husband by hiding under a Ferris wheel seat that he was on, wearing a pink sweater that had a heart and his face on it, and jumped out after 2 other people had already confessed to him on that same Ferris wheel. She has eccentric grandma energy and it is absolutely amazing. Queen.
Something I think is really funny about dratchrod is that I see so many people try to use drift as the middle man or like a buffer between ratchet and rodimus instead of recognizing the ratchrod side of things and I think people straight up forget ratchet and rodimus are friends. Like outside of drift.
They've both known each other for muuuchhh longer than either knows drift; they are war buddies!!! (NOT TRYING TO TAKE AWAY WHAT THEY HAVE WITH DRIFT IM JUST SAYING)
we see in MTMTE they literally just hang out. So many of the interactions we see of them are just them together with no one else on purpose just to talk bc they are friends. Their friendship in and of itself isn't super obvious if you dont look bc lots of those interactions you just see them together and imagine "Oh they are just alone by coincidence" but ITS THERE GUYS!!!!!! That's also not to say drift doesnt connect them- I think dratchrod works so well in my head because each of them brings out parts of the others.
I love ratchrod guys you are sleeping on ratchrod so fucking hard collapses and falls into a pile of dust JUST LOOK AT THEM!!! WDYM THEY ARE NOT SPECIAL TO EACHOTHER!!!
LIKE!!! THEY JOKE WITH EACHOTHER!!! THEY COMFORT THE OTHER!!! THEY ARE REAL WITH EACHOTHER!!!! THEY ARE EMO ABOUT THEIR BOYFRIEND BEING GONE!! + I CANT FIND RODIMUS TALKING ABT RATCHET WHEN HE REBUILT HIS ARM BUT BUT BUT AAUAUAUQGWHEJRJ
This isn't me getting upset btw this is me just trying to spread my ratchrod and dratchrod agenda I love them i love them so much I am the dratchrod warrior
it's simple really: october is for horror movies with highly stylized villains and iconic monsters because they make for good costumes. early november is for gothic horror because of the fog and decay etc. late november is for zombies (commentary on consumerist culture). december is for psychological horror and stuff where they're trapped in a room because that's when you have to go to holiday parties with your family.
january is for possession and body horror (the loss of control and transformation of a new year beginning plus toxic diet culture). february is valentine's day so you can do whatever as long as you're horny about it.
march is for religious/cult-themed horror because of lent and easter. obviously april is giallo because the blood splatter represents spring rainfall. needs no explanation
all of summer is for urban legends and anything that features children with minimal adult supervision so kids can watch them and be scarred for life. september is slashers because it's back to school season and that shit always seems to happen to teenagers and college students
guild wars is an insane setting because it's a normal fantasy world but also the closest elf analogue that exists is humanity. what people would at first glance assume to be ""elves"" are actually just vaguely humanoid plant monsters made to serve an unbelievably ancient god-dragon that's also a living jungle and also all of the plant people are at maximum 25 years old because their entire species are basically collectively babies in terms of how long they've existed in-universe. also the orcs are giant cat people. the gnomes are rats. the dwarves are normal but also they're steadily going extinct and also all living rock people now. nobody even knows what a horse is
